I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 412: Decisive Killing

"I dare not!"

Pang Zhen, under the intense gaze of Chen Baxian, immediately softened his tone.

"But Garrison Commander Chen, Han Zheng has committed the crime of insubordination. If such an offense goes without explanation, I fear it might not satisfy the public."

Chen Baxian said indifferently, "Pang Zhen, actually, I gave you all a chance.

When the Smell Fragrance Sect rebellion broke out in Huainan Road, I told you that whether from the Capital Faction or the Local Faction, you are all brothers of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Facing demons and heretical cults, as long as you bravely fight the enemy, I will definitely not short you of the credits you deserve.

You did quite well in Huainan Road and did not shirk your responsibilities.

However, it's a pity that once you returned to the Southern Mountain, your true colors showed. Did you really think that I was unaware of what you were doing?"

Pang Zhen's complexion changed instantly, and he quickly said, "Garrison Commander Chen is wise! Wu Yunfei's corruption has nothing to do with us!"

Chen Baxian shook his head gently, "I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you did not cherish it. Now, you cannot blame me."

As his words fell, Chen Baxian's hand reached out into the void and grabbed!

Pang Zhen did not even get a chance to speak and was decapitated by Chen Baxian!

Han Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Although he was extremely bold himself, Chen Baxian was undoubtedly bolder.

He did not bother with evidence or care about anyone's background, he simply executed them.

Though bold, such actions were indeed thrilling!

Xu Cunbao had not even reacted.

By the time Pang Zhen's headless body fell to the ground, spewing blood, Xu Cunbao suddenly jumped up and then bitterly smiled, "Garrison Commander Chen, aren't you being too direct? By killing him outright, how will you explain this to He Tianxiong?"

Chen Baxian said indifferently, "Why do I need to explain anything to He Tianxiong? Why should he deserve my explanation?

Pang Zhen and the others joined the Southern Mountain when it was at its weakest and did quite a bit of work.

But I gave them the rewards and opportunities they deserved; it was they who did not cherish them.

Do not mention their backing is He Tianxiong. Even if their backer were the Grand Commander, I would still not hesitate to execute them!

Moreover, since I have been enemies with He Tianxiong for a long time, even if I did not kill them, wouldn't He Tianxiong still make things difficult for me?"

Wen Tingyun nodded and said, "Garrison Commander Chen is right. They had to be killed sooner or later; it doesn't really matter if it's a day or two sooner."

Xu Cunbao shook his head bitterly, seemingly helpless with them.

"Forget it, now that he's dead, let's just ensure we collect the evidence properly and not give anyone grounds for complaint."

Wen Tingyun smiled and said, "Rest assured, Administrator Xu, I have prepared all the necessary evidence."

Xu Cunbao then looked toward Chen Baxian, "Garrison Commander Chen, how should we deal with the other forces in Southern Mountain now?"

Chen Baxian tapped his finger gently on the table and said indifferently, "The Cold Water Bai Family, in collusion with the Black Mountain Demon, have their entire family's Spiritual Field Mines and other businesses confiscated. The Bai Family will be completely exterminated, not one shall be spared!

Washing Sword Pavilion's Yu Tiancheng in collusion with the Black Mountain Demon must also be accounted for.

Tell Wei Danqing to confiscate all mines and Spiritual Fields of Washing Sword Pavilion. Each disciple must slay a hundred demons monthly and send them to the Demon Suppression Bureau to redeem their sins, otherwise, they too will be completely exterminated, not one spared!

As for other powers that did not act against the Black Mountain Demon, each must hand over one-tenth of their assets to the Great Compassion Temple and Jianghai Alliance who lost many of their talented disciples during the chaos.

In the face of demonic chaos, those with money should give money, and those with strength should contribute effort.

Since the Great Compassion Temple and Jianghai Alliance have contributed, we cannot let them bear the cost without compensation.

If anyone is dissatisfied with this, let them come to me to argue their case."

Chen Baxian's method of handling was exceedingly simple and brutal.

And equally, rewards must be given where due and punishments where deserved.

The Bai Family and Washing Sword Pavilion naturally had no more to say, their collusion with the Black Mountain Demon was unforgivable.

Other members of the Five Families and Seven Sects would inevitably feel wronged. Were they not even allowed to watch the show?

Some sects didn't even know anything and yet had to fork out a tenth of their assets.

But that's just how Chen Baxian did things — domineering. Even if others were dissatisfied, no one dared to reason with him.

The news of the battle against the Black Mountain Demon at the front of the Great Compassion Temple had already spread. Chen Baxian's strength was almost monstrously overpowering. Who else in the Southern Mountain would dare to challenge him?

After saying these things, Chen Baxian looked towards Han Zheng and Wen Tingyun, paused, and said, "I am going back to the Capital to report on my duties, and I may not be able to serve as the Garrison Commander of the Southern Mountain anymore.

At the same time, I have two spots at the Capital Demon Suppression Department, which I plan to give to Wen and Han Zheng."

Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun seemed to have been aware of this news and were not overly surprised.

Han Zheng, however, was slightly stunned.

Had Chen Baxian just returned to the Southern Mountain and was already preparing to leave?

Yan Xuankong suddenly spoke up, "I had guessed it. Chen Baxian wouldn't continue to stay in the Southern Mountain.

His power is now infinitely close to the Dharma Manifestation Realm. Such strength is unsuitable for continuing as a Garrison Commander; surely he was going to be transferred back to the headquarters in the Capital.

But this young man does have a conscience, thinking of taking you to the headquarters.

The resources of the Capital Demon Suppression Department are rich, far beyond what local departments can imagine.

Especially the Heavenly Artillery Armory; that's a holy place for cultivation, a dream for countless members of the Demon Suppression's Xuan Armor Guard.

With your contributions, Chen Baxian could have made an exception to promote you as one of the top three Garrison Captains on par with Xu Cunbao and others.

But he chose to bring you into the Capital Demon Suppression Department. That's a huge opportunity, indeed he's generous to his subordinates.

You should know, for promotion within the Demon Department, a record both in headquarters and local service are indispensable, but it's always easier from top-down, and more challenging from bottom-up.

Members of the Xuan Armor Guard in the headquarters, when reaching a certain rank, will often seek transfer downwards.

People like Wu Yunfei, even a Garrison Captain in the Yang God Realm, there are even more. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

But for those in local Demon Departments to enter the headquarters, it isn't that easy. Either you have exceptional talent or you have to build up your rank through power.

That's how Chen Baxian is; his strength is almost surpassing the pinnacle of the Yang God Realm, naturally, he would be transferred to the headquarters. I wanted to follow a similar path as Chen Baxian in the past.

Now I don't know what merit Chen Baxian has earned, but he managed to get two slots into the headquarters, such valuable things. And he's willing to give one to a newcomer like you who he's just met. Generous indeed."

Yan Xuankong's tone was a bit strange, as if he did not understand or was somewhat admiring.

Anyway, he could never have been as generous as Chen Baxian back in his day.

If he had such slots, he would definitely prioritize selling them for a good price.

Han Zheng stood up, saluted respectfully to Chen Baxian, and sincerely said, "Subordinate thanks the Garrison Commander."

Reward the meritorious and punish the guilty, simple in words but difficult in practice.

Like Wen Tingyun said, Chen Baxian is a man who acts simply.

As long as you have made sufficient contributions, what should be yours, Chen Baxian would never be stingy.

"By the way, Garrison Commander, there's another matter I need to report."

Han Zheng glanced at the door and said in a deep voice, "Please, Garrison Commander, shut the hall door. Let no others hear."

Seeing the serious demeanor of Han Zheng, Chen Baxian nodded, waved his hand, and his powerful True Yuan closed the hall door securely.

At the same time, a magnificent force of True Yuan spread around to block any outside noise.

Han Zheng said in a deep voice, "The reason the Black Mountain Demon was able to instigate Lu Tianfang against me was because it spoke of a secret right in front of me and Lu Tianfang."

As he spoke, Han Zheng shared the possibility of Prince Liang, Ji Yuanfang, being backed by the Black Mountain Demon, with Chen Baxian and the others.

It involved the Great Zhou Royal Family, a matter of great significance. Of course, Han Zheng was not prepared to shoulder it himself.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, how it should be handled was up to Chen Baxian to decide.

After hearing Han Zheng's account, the expressions of Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao changed instantly, and Chen Baxian also showed a thoughtful look.

It was indeed a momentous issue involving the Great Zhou Royal Family and handling it would be extremely troublesome.
