The others were also surprised.
They hadn't expected Fourth Uncle to want to kill Chen Nan.
And to call him a scoundrel...
What's going on?
Did something happen between Lord Chen and you?
There was no time to think.
Qi Ye quickly said, "Fourth Uncle, don't be rude."
The woman's sword slashed towards Chen Nan, her eyes filled with frost. "He is Si Shu Wu Jing!"
Holy cow!
He is Si Shu Wu Jing?
At this moment.
Everyone in the Demon Suppressing Division widened their eyes.
An idol!
An idol!
Bai Yu's book was exceptionally popular.
It wasn't limited to Tongcheng.
It had even been released in Guangling Prefecture in two volumes.
Each volume sold exceptionally well.
Even though many in the Demon Suppressing Division had read the book written by Chen Nan.
No one had expected.
That Chen Nan was actually Si Shu Wu Jing himself.
*Poof!*
Without any warning.
The long sword in the woman's hand pierced Chen Nan's chest.
But not a single drop of blood splashed out.
This was because the wound on Chen Nan's body was engulfed in flames.
He could transform into flames, thus avoiding the damage.
Although his body avoided injury.
Chen Nan's heart was severely hit.
Why did this woman know he was Si Shu Wu Jing?
Holy cow!
He had just taken office as the Director of the Demon Suppressing Division.
He had barely managed to awe everyone and establish his authority.
And now she revealed the identity he least wanted to acknowledge?
Was this a killing blow to his spirit?
Actually, for Chen Nan, writing books and earning money wasn't shameful.
But the identity of a writer was confined to ordinary people.
Yet, he was now the Director of the Demon Suppressing Division!
A sixth-level Yin Messenger!
Didn't he need to pay attention to his reputation and image?
To put it simply.
He cared about his reputation.
And revealing the identity of Si Shu Wu Jing.
Was no different from tearing off his last fig leaf!
He glared at her angrily. "Woman, that's enough!"
"Although I don't hit women."
"But this official will not tolerate your provocations!"
The woman continued to swing her sword, wanting to slice Chen Nan into a thousand pieces. "You insulted me first, so you deserve to die."
"Nonsense!" Chen Nan sent her flying dozens of meters away with a palm strike. "This is our first meeting, how could I have insulted you?"
"My name is Bai Yu!" the woman looked at Chen Nan angrily.
Ah ha?
These simple four words.
Made Chen Nan freeze on the spot.
Why did this name sound so familiar?
Oh, holy cow!
It's a name collision!
The title of the bestseller he wrote was also Bai Yu!
At this moment.
His anger vanished without a trace, replaced by embarrassment.
He had never dreamed.
That there would be a woman named Bai Yu in this world.
He now understood why she wanted to kill him.
If someone wrote a book and used his name as a villain who committed all sorts of wicked deeds.
He would definitely be enraged.
Although he hadn't written Bai Yu as a villain.
He had depicted her as a promiscuous and dissolute woman!
"Officer Bai, this is a misunderstanding!" Chen Nan said with a solemn expression. "I don't know where you heard that I am Si Shu Wu Jing, but I can tell you responsibly, I am not Si Shu Wu Jing."
"I am merely an agent for Si Shu Wu Jing, and I used to help him contact printing houses to publish his books."
"Yes."
"Si Shu Wu Jing is just my friend."
"That's all!"
Chen Nan absolutely refused to admit that he was Si Shu Wu Jing.
If that were the case.
The people in the Demon Suppressing Division would look at him with disdain.
Hearing this.
All the members of the Demon Suppressing Division cast strange glances.
Was their superior doubting the credibility of the intelligence of the Demon Suppressing Division?
Qi Ye cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Fourth Uncle, let alone our superior being just Si Shu Wu Jing's... friend, even if he were Si Shu Wu Jing, it would just be a coincidence!"
"After all, there are so many people in the underworld, there are bound to be people with the same name."
"Why bother taking this to heart?"
Bai Yu ignored Qi Ye, her eyes fixed coldly on Chen Nan. "Chen, you just wait. After you die, I'll grind your bones to dust!"
With that, she turned and left in a huff.
In fact, Bai Yu wanted to kill Chen Nan right now.
But through their brief encounter, she had discovered Chen Nan's formidable power.
Even though this person's cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Manifestation Realm.
His strength was immense.
Even she couldn't fathom his true depth.
However.
Did this matter?
It didn't.
Because all previous Directors of the Demon Suppressing Division had mysteriously died within half a year of taking office.
Chen Nan would surely suffer the same fate.
After he died.
She could then grind his bones to dust to vent her anger!
"Please come in, Your Excellency!" Qi Ye invited Chen Nan into the Demon Suppressing Division.
---
In the vast, dark hall.
Chen Nan sat on a golden throne.
Except for Bai Yu and those out on missions,
All other members of the Demon Suppressing Division came to pay homage to Chen Nan.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion was a part of the Demon Suppressing Division.
They were responsible for forging weapons for the Demon Suppressing Division.
After each new Director of the Demon Suppressing Division took office.
They would ask the Director what kind of weapon they preferred, and then custom-make one.
Upon learning that a weapon was to be forged for him, Chen Nan asked, "How long does it take to forge a custom weapon?"
An elder replied respectfully, "Reporting to Your Excellency, it takes half a year."
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't that mean that the Demon Suppressing Division has over ten thousand custom-made weapons lying unused?"
The elder smiled awkwardly. "Yes, our Divine Weapon Pavilion meticulously forged weapons for the Directors of the Demon Suppressing Division, but before the weapons could be completed, they met with strange deaths."
This was an embarrassing matter.
As a result, over ten thousand custom-made weapons had accumulated in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
"Do you have any weapons like long staffs?" Chen Nan asked casually. He didn't have a favorite weapon.
But he did like using staffs.
After all, sheer force could overcome all other techniques.
In the face of absolute power, other weapons were insignificant.
The elder waved his right hand.
A black coiled dragon staff, about three meters long and as thick as a wrist, thudded into the hall.
It stood there quietly.
Like a pillar supporting the sky.
The stone slabs on the ground couldn't bear its weight, emitting crisp cracking sounds.
The elder said respectfully, "This item is called the Coiled Dragon Staff. It is forged from ten-thousand-year-old profound iron and weighs approximately eighteen thousand catties. Although many have coveted this weapon,"
"No one has been able to wield it to this day."
The implication was clear.
There were definitely weapons that met your standards.
But you wouldn't be able to use them.
"Eighteen thousand catties? That's not too heavy!" Chen Nan's lips curved slightly. He recalled the Pillar of Merit from the divine realm that he had obtained in the Immortal Realm from the avian tribe.
That thing weighed around one hundred and eighty thousand catties!
Hearing Chen Nan say it wasn't too heavy.
A wave of disdain rose in everyone's hearts.
Even the three divine constables felt the same.
In truth, they also coveted this weapon, but they were simply unable to use it.
At this moment, Chen Nan stepped down from the throne and approached the Coiled Dragon Staff.
He reached out and grasped the shaft of the staff. With a flex of his right arm.
The Coiled Dragon Staff, weighing eighteen thousand catties,
Under everyone's disbelieving gaze, was effortlessly lifted above his head by his physical strength alone.
The scene fell silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
He lifted the eighteen-thousand-catty Coiled Dragon Staff with his bare physical strength?
This strength was too terrifying!
And just then.
An unexpected event occurred.
A deafening explosion suddenly sounded.
Causing the entire Demon Suppressing Division to tremble.
Chen Nan's expression changed. "What's happening? Why is there an explosion?"
