Chen Nan's expression changed drastically.
The yellow light was terrifying.
If he were struck by it.
He would likely perish utterly!
Without a moment's thought.
He instantly moved out of the bronze mirror's irradiation range.
Dodging the fatal blow.
Chen Nan, with lingering fear, looked at Qiye: "Qiye, what's going on?"
"Why is this bronze mirror attacking me?"
Qiye stared at Chen Nan, his eyes as cold as a serpent's: "I would like to ask, sir, why do you have demonic energy on you?"
"Are you human, or a demon?"
At the same time.
Many powerful individuals in armor, wielding sharp weapons, appeared in the Demon Suppression Division.
Not only that.
Even the Earth-tier Divine Constable Kuangtu and the Profound-tier Divine Constable Qiushui flew into the air.
They all possessed peak Dao Body Realm cultivation.
Their strength was formidable.
"Who triggered the Demon Illuminating Mirror?" Kuangtu slowly descended from the air.
Qiye looked at Chen Nan, speechless.
"So, this is the Demon Illuminating Mirror?" Chen Nan stared at the bronze mirror with curiosity, unfazed even as the experts of the Demon Suppression Division swarmed out.
Qiye: "Yes!"
"No demon can hide its form before it!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
Qiye pressed him aggressively: "Doesn't Lord Chen want to explain to us the origin of the demonic energy on you?"
A cold smile flickered across Chen Nan's face: "Do I need to explain to you?"
Although he had demonic energy on him.
He had no intention of explaining.
After all, he was their superior.
Did he need to explain to them?
Qiye said sternly: "The duty of the Demon Suppression Division is to eliminate demons and uphold righteousness. As the new Director of the Demon Suppression Division, if you do not explain the origin of the demonic energy on you, I am afraid you will not be able to convince the masses."
"Yo, is this the new Director of the Demon Suppression Division? Such weak strength!" Kuangtu, two meters tall, wore a knowing smile.
Although the Demon Suppression Division had a new superior.
There was no reverence in his words.
The reason was simple.
Any Director of the Demon Suppression Division.
Could not survive for more than half a year.
"Profound-tier Constable Qiushui, greets Lord Chen!" The fair-faced and refined Qiushui descended from the air, bowing to Chen Nan with great politeness.
Then he asked, "May I ask if Your Lordship prefers a wooden coffin, a stone coffin, or a jade coffin?"
"Do you prefer cremation."
"Or burial?"
"You may tell us the material of the coffin you prefer."
"We, your subordinates, will surely find you a satisfactory coffin."
"This way, we can at least say we were colleagues."
They all wore playful smiles, not taking Chen Nan seriously at all.
Let alone his eighth-level Form Transformation Realm cultivation.
Even if he were at the ninth-level Dao Body Realm, what of it?
In these ten thousand years, countless people had taken up the position of Director of the Demon Suppression Division.
Not a single one had lived for more than half a year.
Chen Nan quietly watched the three men blocking his path. He paid no mind to their harsh words. He looked at Qiye and asked calmly, "You said earlier that if I didn't explain the origin of the demonic energy on me, I wouldn't be able to convince the masses, right?"
Qiye's expression was impassive: "Indeed, the Demon Suppression Division has been sworn enemies with demons and monsters since ancient times. If you have demonic energy on you, you must give everyone a satisfactory explanation."
"Only then can you win their hearts!"
He was not intentionally making things difficult for Chen Nan.
He just wanted an explanation.
Chen Nan smiled: "It's understandable that you don't know my character since we've just met."
"How to put it..."
"I'm easy to get along with."
"Generally, problems that can be solved with action."
"I don't waste words."
"But now I have a question I'd like to consult."
"I won't explain the origin of the demonic energy on me."
"But would fighting until you are convinced be acceptable?"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
They clearly hadn't expected a Form Transformation Realm cultivator like Chen Nan to utter such arrogant words.
Kuangtu laughed heartily: "I like people like you, Lord Chen, who are strong-willed and arrogant. Working for someone like you would definitely not lead to any grievances."
"But..."
"The Demon Suppression Division values strength!"
"Not bragging!" He revealed a hint of disdain at this point.
Qiye waved to a middle-aged man in the distance: "Lihuo, go and experience Lord Chen's strength!"
Lihuo strode forward.
Qiye said: "Lihuo is the third captain under me and possesses peak Form Transformation Realm cultivation. If Lord Chen can defeat him, I will not inquire about the origin of the demonic energy on you."
The matter of him having demonic energy was trivial.
After all, some important figures even enjoyed playing with demons.
They just wanted to use this opportunity to put Chen Nan in his place.
Since you only have less than half a year left anyway.
We can treat you as our boss.
But don't treat us as your subordinates.
Chen Nan smiled and shook his head: "Captain Li's strength may be considerable, but it poses no challenge to me!"
"Your subordinate is not talented, but I am willing to learn from Lord Chen's methods." Lihuo's eyes narrowed, and with a single hand seal, a scorching flame erupted.
He was Qiye's third captain.
Although he only had peak Form Transformation Realm cultivation.
He had once slain a Soul Devouring Realm expert.
Now that he was so disdained by Chen Nan, he felt genuinely annoyed.
Seeing Lihuo unleash his fire-based magic.
Qiye couldn't help but frown.
He had only intended for Lihuo to give Chen Nan a warning, but he hadn't expected him to directly use magic.
This was vastly different from a physical brawl.
A physical fight would at most injure the opponent.
But if magic was used, it could disfigure the opponent.
If that were to happen.
He would have a difficult time explaining to Yuan Zun.
Just as he was about to intervene and block Lihuo's attack.
Something incredible happened.
Chen Nan opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
The scorching flame, under everyone's astonished gaze, was swallowed by Chen Nan.
Yes.
He directly swallowed it.
After swallowing it, he exhaled a puff of dense smoke, as if he were still back on Earth, enjoying a cigarette.
Chen Nan's voice rang out: "Lihuo, right?"
"Very good, you're with me from now on!"
Everyone's scalp tingled.
Lihuo's fire magic had killed a Soul Devouring Realm expert.
But who the hell would have thought.
The magic he unleashed was so easily swallowed by Chen Nan?
It was utterly absurd.
Even though the cases handled by the Demon Suppression Division were bizarre and strange.
They had never heard of such a preposterous existence.
"I didn't expect Lord Chen to have such a skill," Kuangtu grinned: "It seems that Form Transformation Realm experts cannot harm you. How about this, I'll send a Soul Devouring Realm expert, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
This was a deliberate act to force Chen Nan's hand.
If he refused, saying he was afraid.
He would never be able to establish himself in the Demon Suppression Division.
If he actually accepted the challenge, he would be unable to defeat a Soul Devouring Realm expert.
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, then uttered something that made everyone's scalp tingle: "How about this, the three of you peak Dao Body Realm experts, along with these many experts, attack me together."
"Yes, you heard me correctly, I'll gang up on you all."
