Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 344: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
In Yang Qian's mind, the guards in his courtyard were all shrouded in an illusion similar to that induced by incense. They had no idea what was really happening and were still trapped in the illusion, thinking that everything was fine.

After knocking on the door twice, Yang Qian got up and opened it. What came into view was a handsome man who seemed to be in his twenties. However, this man had silver hair and his eyes were full of a deep attraction, which made him look like a demon.

"Master Yang, I am Hu Ming from Tianyin Pavilion, a member of the fox tribe in the mountains. I came here to ask to see you and have a chat. Perhaps we can resolve the previous misunderstanding. I wonder if you can give me a chance?"

He kept his attitude very humble in his words, even the smile on his face seemed gentle, and he kept his hands down.

But Yang Qian could feel the fierce yet reserved power from the other party.

If they can reach an agreement, they will talk. If they can't, they will fight. The fox demon who called himself Hu Ming did not hide his intentions.

Talking to a demon? Yang Qian's first reaction was that it was absurd. What could he talk about with a demon? Fighting with swords was the most appropriate way to contact him.

But the opponent's cultivation level was so high that he was in the out-of-body realm, and they were inside the city, so Yang Qian had no choice but to be cautious.

"Oh? Misunderstanding? Then come in and tell me about it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Yang."

Yang Qian took a few steps back before the other party came in from outside.

Instantly, the whole room was filled with a strong sense of oppression. The cold and sharp clashed and restrained each other.

It was as if the whole house would be razed to the ground with the roof blown off in the next moment.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the room except Yang Qian and the fox demon. If Juan were here, he would probably be crushed by the oppressive force in the room and would be unable to get up even if he was lying on the ground.

The host and the guest sat down. Yang Qian didn't pour the tea, just looked at the other party, with no intention of speaking first.

"Lord Yang was so impressive along the way that he caused a huge disturbance in Shuangqing Prefecture. Hehe, this kind of scene has not been seen for many years.

The most popular person in Shuangqing Prefecture right now is you, my Lord."

"Hot and in high demand? Haha, I think you probably hate me for not dying, right?"

Yang Qian looked at the fox demon. Compared to the fox demons he had encountered before, Hu Ming in front of him not only had a much higher cultivation level, but also had much less evil spirits. This was exactly the opposite of the usual practice of demon cultivators, where the higher the cultivation level, the heavier the evil spirits. On the contrary, the cold and gloomy aura was much stronger than any demon cultivator Yang Qian had ever seen.

There are two sources of Yin Sha. One is that it is naturally accumulated through blood and food. The other is to find a place in the world with heavy Yin Sha and use magic to condense and absorb it.

This fox demon in front of me didn't seem to follow the path of Yin Sha? Or did he have other means to hide the Yin Sha aura better?
"Hahaha, Lord Yang is right. Ever since you entered Shuangqing Prefecture, you first destroyed the Xingsheng League that was so blind as to provoke you, and then destroyed an intelligence point of our Tianyin Pavilion in Taocheng, and killed one of my disciples. After that, people and monsters from all walks of life in Shuangqing Prefecture noticed you.

Later, after you, my lord, destroyed Baiguling and Sanshisandong, the hat of "big trouble" was put on your head.

No one likes trouble, so there are indeed many people who wish you dead." "Oh? Who are they? You Tianyin Pavilion must also want me dead, right?" Yang Qian's hand on the coffee table seemed to flick his fingers intentionally or unintentionally. The invisible sharpness of his fingertips was looming, and the whole person seemed to be transformed into a thunderbolt or a sharp blade at any time.

Hu Ming's eyelids twitched a few times when he saw this scene. Although he was not afraid if he dared to come, he was still more cautious because of Yang Qian's strong hostility and murderous intention. He thought that the new chief constable of Shuangqing Prefecture was definitely a person who hated evil spirits.

The reason why they can sit together and talk peacefully is probably because of the special location of this place, and they would be cautious in the city. Otherwise, Hu Ming thought that the first thing Yang Qian would do when he saw him would not be to speak, but to strike him with a bolt of lightning.

"The various demon mountains naturally wish that Master Yang would die, and some people far away in the imperial city also wish that Master Yang would die in Shuangqing Prefecture. Of course, at the beginning, we in Tianyin Pavilion also hoped to kill Master Yang so as to avenge our disciples.

But now that I have met you, I think there must be some misunderstandings between you and Tianyin Pavilion, so it is better to clarify it first before discussing other things."

Seeing the other party being so "straightforward", Yang Qian also became interested. It was not the first time he talked to a demon cultivator, but it was the first time he found it interesting.

"Oh? I killed a disciple of your Tianyin Pavilion, and it is only natural for you to take revenge. How could it be a misunderstanding? Or does Lord Hu Ming have other plans?"

"Master Yang, I won't say those empty words because they are meaningless. Tianyin Pavilion is an intelligence shop. Our business is buying and selling intelligence, not fighting for life with anyone. Our confidence lies in the accuracy and variety of intelligence, which is also our foundation.

Kill people if you can. If the gains do not outweigh the losses, you can turn hostility into friendship. That's why there is a misunderstanding.

So, Lord Yang should be able to understand my sincerity, right?"

How could Yang Qian not understand? To put it nicely, the fox demon said that a man who knows the current situation is a hero, but to put it bluntly, he is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

But this is in line with the nature of demons. Survival is the first priority, hatred? There is no hatred that cannot be resolved.

Yang Qian laughed and said, "You, Tianyin Pavilion, are playing both sides. Aren't you afraid of being excluded by other forces in Shuangqing Prefecture? If I don't buy and sell intelligence from you in the future, won't it mean your business will be wiped out?"

"Master Yang, please don't worry about that. I wonder if Master Yang feels that the misunderstanding with our Tianyin Pavilion has been resolved?"

"Of course! It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Although my favorite thing to do is to kill evil spirits and eliminate bandits, an interesting place like Tianyin Pavilion can be considered an exception. Lord Hu Ming can rest assured that I, Yang Qian, keep my word."

Yang Qian kept his word? He might be able to keep his word to ordinary people, but he never had this awareness when it came to demons and evil spirits. For example, the fox demons in Baihua Tower who were killed by him would definitely not believe it. But they had no way to jump out and refute it.

After all, knowing that Yang Qian's reputation for keeping his word was well-known, all the evil spirits who loved to go back on their words had been killed.

At least even though Hu Ming saw Yang Qian swearing so confidently that he would keep his word, he could only choose to believe at least half of it for the time being, right?

After Yang Qian expressed his opinion, he continued, "Your Excellency must have known my whereabouts along the way by visiting me late at night. Can you tell me more? I clearly remember that I had cleared out the tails following me before, so it shouldn't be that they have been followed again so soon, right?"
