Chapter 380 A Family of Loyal and Brave Men

Han Zheng and Su Wuming each received a file, on which were the targets they were to deal with.

Su Wuming's mission target was the Tiandao Song family, and Han Zheng's target was the Hanshui Bai family, neither of which was easy to mess with.

In fact, among the five families and seven sects, there are a few that are more reassuring.

For example, Dabei Temple, a top Buddhist sect, had already taken action when the Black Mountain Old Demon swept Shannan Road last time.

And the abbot of Dabei Temple, Master Pudu, is also a famous monk in the world, and was even invited to Beijing to preach for the royal family.

And Han Zheng also felt that someone who could accept Liansheng as a disciple would not do such a thing as colluding with demons.

There is also Jianghai League. Although it is the only grassroots gang among the five families and seven sects, its leader Qiu Tianzhi, the "Black Prison Crazy Dragon", can also be regarded as a grassroots hero.

The Jianghai League suffered serious damage when the Black Mountain Old Demon swept Shannan Road last time, and the hatred between the two sides was extremely deep, so there is almost no need to worry about Jianghai League.

Among the five families, the least likely one is the Xiao family of the Divine Spear.

The Xiao family of the Divine Spear is the leader of the five great families, and the spear art is the best in the martial arts world.

Moreover, the Xiao family has some connections with the imperial court.

It is said that the ancestor of the Xiao family was once a general of the imperial court who followed the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty to conquer the world, and was even once conferred the title of Duke of the State.

However, because of some reasons, the military power was removed, and the ancestor of the Xiao family left the imperial court in anger, and even gave up the hereditary position of Duke of the State, and became a family of rivers and lakes.

Over the years, the relationship between the Xiao family and the imperial court has been very bad, and it is naturally not good with the Demon Slayer Division. The two sides just do not interfere with each other.

But the ancestor of the Xiao family followed the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty to wipe out the demons and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, his descendants will not collude with the demons, otherwise, how can they face their ancestors?

Although the Xiao family did not take action when the Black Mountain Old Demon swept Shannan Road last time, it can be regarded as protecting one side.

Anyone under the command of the Black Mountain Demon dared to enter the 300-mile radius of the Xiao family, and would be killed by the Xiao family.

The Black Mountain Demon did not want to provoke the Xiao family, so the demonic chaos ended within 300 miles of the Xiao family.

Anyone who entered the 300-mile radius of the Xiao family was saved, and the Xiao family saved many lives.

Except for these three families, the remaining five families and seven sects were not very safe.

Su Wuming was going to investigate the Song family and would set off today, while Han Zheng had to recuperate for a day.

He went there by himself, and Su Wuming was not used to carrying out missions with other people except Han Zheng.

And his main task was only to investigate. Once he found that the Song family had a wrong trend, he would report it directly.

Han Zheng's task was not only to investigate, but also to deter.

The file said that a demonic chaos broke out in Changlin Mansion near the Bai family, and the demons broke through the state capital at night, which seemed to be very familiar with the state capital's defense.

Before, demons had sneaked into the prefecture in advance and attacked the patrolling Xuanjia Guards, resulting in no reaction from the Changlin Mansion Demon Extermination Division.

After the city was broken, Cheng Yuangang, the demon extermination captain in charge of guarding Changlin Mansion, was attacked and killed by demons, and the Changlin Mansion Demon Extermination Division suffered heavy losses.

But many Xuanjia Guards fought to the death, and only more than ten of the hundreds of Xuanjia Guards were left.

After one night, many wealthy families in Changlin Mansion were looted, and countless gold and silver treasures were lost.

Many young people with strong blood were abducted as blood food, and even some small families in the city suffered heavy losses.

The only family that survived the entire Changlin Mansion was a branch family of the Hanshui Bai family.

This was too suspicious, and those demons almost seemed to be walking around the Bai family.

So Han Zheng went there for two main purposes this time.

One was to find out whether the entire Hanshui Bai family had problems, or only that branch had problems.

The second was deterrence.

If only that branch has problems, it will be completely eradicated to deter the Bai family and even other forces.

If the entire Bai family has problems, Han Zheng will come back to report as soon as possible, just like Su Wuming.

The entire Hanshui Bai family is not something Han Zheng can deal with.

After reading the file, Han Zheng was recovering his strength while thinking about this matter.     Changlin Mansion was attacked and looted, and only one branch of the Hanshui Bai family had no problems. This problem is too obvious.

In Han Zheng's opinion, either this branch of the Bai family colluded with demons and even reached the point of being unscrupulous.

Anyway, there are demons everywhere in Shannan Road now, and they think that the Demon-Slaying Division has no time to take care of them.

Or the entire Hanshui Bai family is in collusion with the Black Mountain Old Demon, and with the main branch of the Bai family as a backer, they are even less afraid.

If it is the former, it is easy to say, but if it is the latter, it will be terrible.

After one night, Han Zheng's previously lost blood and qi were almost restored.

As soon as he went out, Han Zheng saw Chu Xinghe and five equally young Xuanjia Guards waiting for him there.

"Brother Han, Lord Fang asked us to follow you to perform the mission and accumulate some experience. Next, I will ask you for your guidance."

Chu Xinghe said with a smile.

The other Xuanjia Guards also bowed and greeted Han Zheng.

These Xuanjia Guards from the capital are generally under 30 years old, but their cultivation has reached the Xuangang realm, standard young heroes.

"Brother Chu, you are too polite. It can't be called guidance. You are actually helping me by following me to perform the mission."

Han Zheng still has a good impression of Chu Xinghe.

Although he has a good family background and is young and powerful, he is very down-to-earth and humble, and there is no arrogance in him.

"There are too many chaos in Shannan Road right now. Time waits for no one. Let's set off now."

Han Zheng did not say too much to Chu Xinghe and the others. He took a few people to Changlin Mansion directly.

On the way, Han Zheng also tried to find out Chu Xinghe's background indirectly, but who knew that Chu Xinghe did not hide anything and directly told all his origins.

Chu Xinghe's origin is very high. His great-grandfather Chu Tianyuan was the garrison elder of the Elders' House of the Demon Slayer Division and was once one of the six commanders.

The Elders' House of the Demon Slayer Division is where some old Xuanjia Guards are placed.

Some of them are weak in qi and blood and their lifespans are about to end. Some of them have suffered some old injuries and can no longer stay on the front line.

In short, those who can enter the Elders' House are all strong men in the Yangshen Realm and above whose combat power is not at the peak.

They stay in the Elders' House all year round, but they are not short of various resources and treatments. It is equivalent to the Demon Slayer Division providing for the elderly who have been fighting for their whole lives.

The garrison elders are rare in the elders' house, and they have real power. Before they retire, they are at least commanders who have entered the realm of Dharma.

The garrison elders are not only retired in the elders' house, but also the last trump card of the Demon-Slaying Division.

If the Demon-Slaying Division in the capital is attacked in the future, these seemingly old and weak garrison elders can also burst out with extremely strong power.

There are no more than ten such garrison elders in the entire Demon-Slaying Division, and even the Grand Commander has to be polite to them.

The Chu family has been members of the Demon-Slaying Division for generations, and they can even be called loyal and brave.

Chu Tianyuan's son, Chu Xinghe's grandfather, followed Chu Tianyuan to exterminate demons, but died young, leaving behind Chu Xinghe's father.

Chu Tianyuan raised his grandson with great difficulty and trained him to be extremely outstanding.

He had already condensed the True Pill just after he turned forty, entered the Grandmaster realm, and entered the Demon Suppression Pass to hone his cultivation. As long as he successfully entered the Yangshen realm, he would definitely be a pacification envoy when he returned to the Great Zhou.

But his luck was also very bad. He encountered a huge demon chaos that was rare in a hundred years. Countless demon kings and even demon emperors from the Land of Ten Thousand Demons attacked the Demon Suppression Pass. Chu Tianyuan's father would rather die than retreat, and finally died in the Demon Suppression Pass.

Fortunately, Chu Tianyuan arranged a marriage for him before the other party went to the Demon Suppression Pass, and left Chu Xinghe as his son, otherwise the Chu family would be extinct.

Chu Tianyuan lost his son and grandson in succession. Both died young. Although it was heroic, it also made Chu Tianyuan white-haired overnight and grief-stricken.

So since then, Chu Tianyuan resigned from the position of commander and entered the Elders' Council to raise Chu Xinghe.

No wonder Chu Xinghe looked a little naive.

Chu Tianyuan lost his son and grandson in succession, so he attached great importance to this great-grandson. This led to the fact that although he was quite powerful, he had little experience in carrying out missions.
