My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Yuan State’s Demon Subduing Division

Yuan State was massive, with 36 commanderies under its jurisdiction!

Its east was adjacent to the vast, ancient 10000 mountains, its north faced the mysterious North Sea, and its west was a desolate and barren land. Therefore, only the south was the best for living beings to settle down.

The Li Dynasty used the Demon Subduing Division to maintain the world’s order and restrain the powerful forces of cultivators in the human world. It had a considerable amount of resources and great power.

Today, the dynasty was declining, and the world’s heroes were rising. Nevertheless, it was the most chaotic era, and one could die a brutal death if one were not careful.

But at the same time, it was also the best era!

That was because as long as one was strong enough, one could achieve outstanding accomplishments and reach their peak.

...

After leaving Qing Yuan Ancient City, Lin Wudao and Han Qingshan headed for the Demon Subduing Division at lightning speed. As the Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall, he had a lot of power.

His status and position were only second to the Deputy Governor and the Governor!

The Demon Subduing Division was particular about governing by division of land!

The 36 commanderies in Yuan province were under the control of the eight Lords of the Demon Subduing Division. As a Lord, he could manage all the affairs of the commanderies under his jurisdiction.

As long as the Lord was strong enough, even the Deputy Governors of the Demon Subduing Division would not be able to control him.

This was because the Demon Subduing Division was where the strong were respected!

One could do whatever one wanted if one’s power was assertive enough and did not violate the game’s rules.

Lin Wudao loved it!

“Which commanderies are under the jurisdiction of the Demon Hunter Hall now?”

On the road, Lin Wudao suddenly opened his eyes and asked indifferently.

“Young Master, according to the information I’ve gathered, the current Demon Hunter Hall is the weakest among the eight major halls of the Demon Subduing Division. They also have the least resources.”

“There are three commanderies under the jurisdiction of the Demon Hunter Hall. Shanhai County, Eight Desolate County, and Tianwu County.”

“Shanhai County is adjacent to the North Sea and the ancient mountains, so beasts and the Barbarian race often invade it. So basically, half of the territory has been lost.”

“The Eight Desolate County is the most chaotic!”

“The people gathered there were the most vicious people in the Li Dynasty. They are all notorious and not to be trifled with.”

“They don’t follow the Li Dynasty’s orders and are so powerful that even the Demon Subduing Division can’t do anything about it.”

“As for Tianwu County, it’s much better than Shanhai County and Eight Desolate Counties. However, there are constant wars because it’s located at the border between the Red Moon Dynasty and the Great Xuan Dynasty.

“All in all, the three commanderies under the jurisdiction of the Demon Hunter Hall are the most chaotic places.”

At this point, Han Qingshan could not help but sigh. He looked at Lin Wudao with sympathy and helplessness.

The Demon Hunter Hall was simply a hot potato!

Now that Lin Wudao had become the Lord of Demon Hunter Hall, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of governing and managing the three commanderies. Unfortunately, however, these three places were highly chaotic.

One wrong move, and he might die!

Even ten years ago, Lin Daoshan had to be very careful when facing the three commanderies.

“Young Master, the Demon Hunter Hall might not be easy to manage. You have to be mentally prepared.”

After hesitating, Han Qingshan softly said.

Lin Wudao glanced at him and nodded.

“I know what I’m doing!”

He learned more about the Demon Subduing Division and the Demon Hunter Hall. Then he immersed himself in cultivation.

...

Half a day later, they arrived at the Demon Subduing Division.

Tianyuan Ancient City was massive, with an ancient history and a strong foundation. As it was located in the center of Yuan State, looking down from above, it was like a chessboard that was densely covered with stars.

That was how it got its name, Tianyuan Ancient City!

This was also the base of the Demon Subduing Division.

Whoosh!

When Lin Wudao and Han Qingshan arrived at the Demon Subduing Division, Yun Jianfei, who had received the news, had been waiting for a long time.

“Lord Lin, I’m here to welcome you!”

“The four Deputy Governors and the seven Lords of the Demon Subduing Division have gathered in the Tianyuan Palace. They are preparing to welcome you, Lord Lin.”

“The Governor instructs you to familiarize yourself with the situation,” Yun Jianfei said respectfully.

He then led Lin Wudao straight to the Tianyuan Palace.

Along the way, many people looked at him with surprise and curiosity. At the same time, there were many discussions, as if they were extremely curious about the sudden appearance of the Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall, Lin Wudao.

Lin Wudao ignored them.

After a while, under Yun Jianfei’s lead, he arrived at the grand and solemn Tianyuan Palace.

He looked up.

Within the ancient palace, there were three levels.

There was only one seat at the very top.

It was Governor Zhao Xuanxiao’s seat!

Below him were four tables, and behind each table sat a figure. They were the four Deputy Governors of the Demon Subduing Division.

...

Lin Wudao sized them up silently and realized they had all perfected the Dao Palace realm. The most powerful among them was the first Deputy Governor, Li Bingtian, who was only half a step away from the Paramita realm.

Below the four Deputy Governors were the eight Lords.

At this moment, Lin Wudao glanced and noticed an empty position in the hall, which seemed to be the lowliest ranked.

“Deputy Governor, this is Lin Wudao, the Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall, whom the Governor has personally appointed,” Yun Jianfei bowed and reported.

Li Bingtian nodded.

“The Governor has always had sharp eyes. Since he has personally appointed you, Brother Lin must naturally be someone with great ability.”

“Please take a seat!”

He pointed at the empty seat beside him.

Buzzzzzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes gathered on Lin Wudao in unison, scrutinizing him with an indifferent gaze.

Lin Wudao could sense sneers, suspicion, disdain, and hatred among them.

...

There were all sorts of emotions!

Lin Wudao did not say much. Instead, he sat quietly and dealt with the small talk.

After three rounds of wine, Li Bingtian stood up and introduced the situation of the Demon Subduing Division to Lin Wudao. Then he put down the wine glass in his hand.

“The Governor is in seclusion to break through to the next realm. So I’m temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Demon Subduing Division.”

“The reason we’ve gathered everyone here today, other than to welcome our younger Brother Lin, there’s another important matter.”

“That is to ask and behead the Old Red Moon Demon!”

A majestic voice resounded throughout the Tianyuan Palace.

As soon as he said that, everyone’s expression turned serious.

Old Red Moon Demon?

Lin Wudao’s eyes flashed with a strange look.

He remembered reading about the Old Red Moon Demon in the Heavenly Treasure Mirror. It seemed that he was the old demon of the Netherworld Devil Sect and was suppressed by the Governor, Zhao Xuanxiao, and was to be executed.

What was there to discuss about this matter?

He was a little puzzled.

“As we all know, the Old Red Moon Demon is a Netherworld Devil Sect senior demon. He has done many evil things, and his actions have angered the heavens and the people. So, in the end, he was suppressed by the Governor.”

“To intimidate those evil-doers, the Governor has decided to execute the Old Red Moon Demon in public.”

“Today, let’s discuss who will be the executioner...”

Li Bingtian’s voice was low and dignified.

However, the massive Tianyuan Palace was silent. None responded, whether it was the Deputy Governor or the Lords of Yuan State.

They did not want to take this job!

Li Bingtian could not help but frown.

“What, no one is willing to be the executioner?”

He was becoming a little dissatisfied.

“Governor Li, I suggest that Lin Wudao be the executioner. After all, he’s new here and can use this opportunity to get familiar with the Demon Subduing Division.”

“At the same time, we can also help him establish the prestige of a Lord.”

Everyone was silent until a gloomy voice beside Li Bingtian spoke.

It was the fourth Deputy Governor, Chen Taiji!

He was also Lin Wudao’s superior.
