"Deputy Minister of the Dragon Department? Heh... Does the Dragon Department think it can act with impunity and use force to oppress government personnel? How is your behavior any different from that of a bandit? If everyone in the Dragon Department acts like this, I suggest abolishing the Dragon Department altogether," said Deputy City Chief Qu.

"Abolish the Dragon Division?" Zui San slowly opened his sleepy eyes. Let alone a mere deputy city magistrate, even if the city magistrate of Jizhou Province came, he wouldn't dare to say the words "abolish the Dragon Division." What has the Dragon Division been doing all these years? Resisting the invasion of the Source Gate, running around everywhere, how many people have died? But what has this Deputy City Magistrate Qu done?

"You certainly have quite the airs of an official!" Zui San slowly stood up. "I'm right here. Tell me, how do you plan to abolish the Dragon Department?"

“Of course we’ll tell the higher-ups what happened today, you audacious fools,” said Deputy City Commander Qu.

"Is this Deputy City Chief Qu?" Gu Yu looked at the portly Deputy City Chief Qu. "I hereby declare that you must get out of Mo City. Mo City's affairs are none of your concern."

"What did you say?" Deputy City Chief Qu heard Gu Yu's words as if he had heard a joke. He was being told to get lost? He must have heard correctly!

"If you're deaf, I suggest you resign and go see a doctor. Don't be a fly here; it's annoying," Gu Yu said impatiently.

"Very good, very good." Deputy City Commander Qu's face turned even uglier than a chrysanthemum. "I hereby announce the revocation of your title of hero."

"Heh..." Gu Yu chuckled coldly, "You think you can just cancel it like that? Well then, I hereby announce your dismissal."

"I'm being dismissed? Who do you think you are? Just because you lured away the monsters and saved Mo City, you think you can be so arrogant? If it weren't for the vehicle-mounted missile unit, you would have died too, and the monsters wouldn't have been eliminated either. Is this all your achievement?" Deputy City Commander Qu was on the verge of exploding. "You only played a tiny, insignificant role! I can give you honors, and I can also take them away from you."

"Then why don't you go and lure the monster away?" Shi Shuai stood up and asked.

“If I go and lure the monster away, who will give command?” Deputy City Chief Qu asked.

"What did you command?" Shi Shuai pressed.

“I…” Deputy City Chief Qu paused, realizing that he had indeed done nothing about what had happened in Mo City.

“Gu Yu saved the entire Mo City. His title of hero wasn’t given by you, but by everyone in Mo City. Mo City suffered such enormous damage, and reconstruction is urgent. Since it was caused by the Zhao family, they should compensate us. Their assets should be used directly to compensate the victims,” Shi Shuai said. His thoughts were basically the same as Gu Yu’s.

"And who are you?" Deputy City Chief Qu looked at Shi Shuai. These people from Mo City were really bold, none of them taking him, the deputy city chief of Jizhou Province, seriously. He had already made a decision: he would delay the compensation for the construction of Mo City and teach these people a lesson.

“Dragon Division Instructor, Commander Shi,” Commander Shi replied.

"It's the Dragon Division again." Deputy City Chief Qu frowned. "It seems your Dragon Division is really idle."

"Yes! We're very free. In the time of crisis in Mocheng, we're very free. We've all come and fought a bloody battle. So what are you, the busy man, doing?" Gu Yu asked, his words full of sarcasm.

"This is a trial, not an argument." The leader who accompanied Deputy City Head Qu, who had been silent until now, couldn't sit still any longer; there were still two prisoners below!

“Deputy Commander Yan, you saw it yourself; they’ve gone too far,” said Deputy City Commander Qu.

"Old Qu, say less!" Deputy Commander Yan said. "You all should say less too!"

“If we don’t settle this matter today, I don’t think there’s any point in trying him. And as for him, I don’t think he’s fit to be the deputy mayor of Jizhou’s capital,” Gu Yu said relentlessly.

“Hehe…” Deputy City Chief Qu chuckled. “Old Yan, you’ve seen it too. They’re just taking advantage of their achievements to be so aggressive.”

"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. He suddenly walked towards Deputy City Chief Qu and Deputy Commander Yan, which made Deputy City Chief Qu a little nervous.

He wasn't a cultivator, so if Gu Yu were to attack him, he might actually be killed. As for Deputy Commander Yan, he wasn't afraid of him. He was a soldier, a cultivator, and a fourth-tier cultivator at that.

"What is he going to do?" Everyone looked at Gu Yu curiously. Even Shi Shuai and Zui San frowned. They hoped that Gu Yu would not do anything foolish. If he killed Deputy City Chief Qu, it would be difficult to deal with.

Snap...

A crisp sound echoed throughout the courtroom, and everyone stared blankly at Gu Yu and the beaten Deputy City Chief Qu.

"You... I'm going to kill you." When had Deputy City Chief Qu, who had been bullying others for many years, ever been treated like this, especially being slapped in the face in front of everyone?

"What are you doing?" Deputy Commander Yan sat up abruptly, looking at Gu Yu with a hint of anger. Although he disliked Deputy City Chief Qu's style, he disliked Gu Yu's current style as well.

“Hehe…” Gu Yu chuckled, then took out the Dragon Emblem. “What I’m going to do is none of your business.”

Upon seeing the dragon emblem, Deputy City Commander Qu and Deputy Commander Yan were momentarily stunned, and Zui San's expression also changed.

“He is actually…” Zui San murmured.

As for the others, they did not recognize the dragon emblem in Gu Yu's hand. After all, this was something that had been rarely seen before, and only the truly high-ranking members of the organization had ever seen it.

"I think I have the right to dismiss you from your post now!" Gu Yu looked at Deputy City Chief Qu with a cold gaze.

If the deputy minister of the Dragon Department doesn't have enough power, does the Dragon Group have enough? In terms of status, he is comparable to Long Aotian, the minister of the Dragon Department. In the Dragon Group, the two are of the same rank.

"I...I..." At this moment, Deputy City Chief Qu panicked. Who would have thought that Gu Yu was a member of the Dragon Group! Such a young member of the Dragon Group, who would dare to imagine it?

"You are no longer the deputy mayor of Jizhou City, and I have arrested you because I suspect you of abusing your power for personal gain," Gu Yu said calmly. "Arrest him, and we will continue our interrogation."

Thump...

Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the once arrogant and domineering Deputy City Chief Qu collapsed to the ground. The next second, Deputy Commander Yan signaled two law enforcement officers to take him away.

"All of the Zhao family's assets are handed over to Mo Cheng for disposal. Li Demin, Mo Tai, and Luo Nanshan are reinstated to their original positions. You can deal with the rest at your leisure!" Gu Yu strode out of the courtroom, his goal achieved.

"What is that?" Shi Shuai asked Zui San with a puzzled look.

"It's for showing off," Zui San replied.

"What?" Shi Shuai was even more puzzled, feeling that the thing was like an imperial sword.

During the interrogation of Mo Hai, before the interrogation was even finished, Mo Hai committed suicide by severing his own heart meridian, as he could not implicate the Mo family.

As for Lu Laoliu, his crimes are enough to warrant death a hundred times over, but he's kept alive because he's still useful, so we'll make amends for him for now.

Gu Yu walked towards the villa area, but as soon as he stepped into the villa area, his brows furrowed.

The next second, a figure rushed towards him, a military knife in his hand aimed straight at his chest.

when…………

Gu Yu neither dodged nor resisted, letting the military blade pierce his chest.

His body was no longer harmed by ordinary swords and knives, and the assassin was just an ordinary person.

The figure felt as if his weapon had struck a block of iron, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"I'm going to kill you, kill you."

The next second, a burst of gas emanated from Gu Yu's body, instantly blasting the military blade away and deforming it. The figure collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" Gu Yu looked at the figure, a young man about his age, whose eyes were filled with hatred and anger.

"I'm going to kill you to avenge my parents and sister," the young man said, filled with grief and indignation.

"Revenge?" Gu Yu frowned. He didn't recognize the young man in front of him at all, but his face looked somewhat familiar. "What's your name?"

"My name is He Wen," the young man said through gritted teeth.

"He Wen? He Yaowei?" Gu Yu suddenly realized something. "You're He Yaowei's son?"

To be honest, Gu Yu felt somewhat guilty about what happened to He Yaowei's family. The root cause of He Yaowei's family being murdered was Gu Yu.

"You beast! It's a pity I'm too weak to kill you!" He Wen cursed angrily, tears streaming down his face. He was filled with hatred! His enemy was right in front of him, yet he couldn't kill him.

“You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t kill your family. I’m very sorry about this. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me,” Gu Yu said.

"You beast," He Wen cursed. "You don't need to pretend. I know you've become a hero in Mocheng now, and you're afraid that if you kill me, your reputation will be tarnished. There's no one here, so you can kill me if you want. I only hate my weakness."

"Uh!" Gu Yu was somewhat taken aback. Looking at the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of empathy. In his previous life, he had watched his loved ones die with his own eyes, but he could do nothing about it. That feeling was powerless, pathetic, and he even thought about dying to end it all.

“Your enemy is not me, but someone else. If it were me, even if I saved Mo Cheng, I should be on trial right now.”

"Then who is my enemy?" He Wen looked at Gu Yu, thinking that Gu Yu was talking nonsense. He had personally seen on TV the news that Gu Yu had murdered He Yaowei's family and was wanted by the police.

"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. "I can understand your feelings, but you can't even figure out who your enemy is. I don't think that's what He Yaowei wants to see. In the end, your family's affairs have a great deal to do with me, so I will give you cultivation techniques. If you want to kill me, you will need to have the strength to do so."

After Gu Yu finished speaking, he sprayed a ball of life essence onto He Wen's body. Feeling the same way, Gu Yu decided to help He Wen and give him a purpose to live. However, as soon as the life essence hit He Wen's body, he stopped breathing, which surprised Gu Yu for a moment.

“He Wen, you need to understand that you need strength to do anything, and it’s obvious that you don’t have it. Even if I stand here and let you kill me, you can’t kill me. Give me time, and I will find out the truth. I think you also want to find the real culprit, right?” Gu Yu said, looking at He Wen.

He Wen looked at Gu Yu, still not believing his words. What bad person in this world would admit to being bad? He just couldn't understand why Gu Yu would do such a thing.

"Believe me, the truth will come to light," Gu Yu said. As for who killed He Yaowei's family, Gu Yu didn't really know, but it was probably just a few people.

He Wen stared at Gu Yu, the hatred in his eyes fading slightly.

“Sometimes, what you see isn’t the truth. Come in with me!” Gu Yu and He Wen said.

He wasn't worried about what He Wen would do. Just like he said, he could stand here and let He Wen kill him, and He Wen couldn't kill him. As for his family, Gu Yu's parents were both cultivators. Even if they weren't strong, they were still not people that He Wen, an ordinary person, could kill.

Gu Yu walked in front, with He Wen following behind. Gu Yu went into the room, took out a pen and some paper, and quickly started writing.

Just then, He Wen suddenly received a phone call.

“Young Master, there’s a mistake. It wasn’t Gu Yu who killed the Master. I found Miss’s Minnie SLR camera at the Master’s house, and it recorded a video.”

"What did you say?" He Wen stood there, stunned. He looked at Gu Yu and saw that Gu Yu was still writing something seriously.

"Uncle Wu, who killed my family?"

"Young master, I don't know him either. I'll send you the video."

Afterwards, He Wen watched the video on his phone, then sat down on the ground with a thud, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

Gu Yu looked up at He Wen. He had heard He Wen's conversation with Uncle Wu clearly. Then he took the paper and walked towards He Wen.

"Do you know these two people?" He Wen suddenly asked Gu Yu, holding up his phone.

"It's them?" Gu Yu frowned. "I've already killed this person. As for where he is, I don't know. I only know that his name is Niu Wangzu."

The two people in the video were Senior Brother Bai and Niu Wangzu. He didn't know where Niu Wangzu was, after all, the situation was not optimistic for him at the time. He was only concerned with escaping. As for the day he killed Senior Brother Bai, he didn't see Niu Wangzu at all.

"You killed him?" He Wen's expression was somewhat blank. One of his enemies was already dead, and Gu Yu didn't know the location of the other one.

“Even if you find him, you can’t kill him now. He’s a high-level martial artist. Trying to kill him would be suicide.” Looking at He Wen, Gu Yu reminded him, “This is a cultivation technique. If you cultivate it well and add that life essence, you should be able to kill him in less than a year.”

Gu Yu handed the paper to He Wen, on which was written a cultivation technique.

“One year…” He Wen looked at Gu Yu, then suddenly knelt down before him. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. I’m sorry. I want to cultivate faster. Please teach me. From now on, I, He Wen, am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means death. I, He Wen, will not hesitate to do so.”

After He Wen finished speaking, he kept kowtowing to Gu Yu. Now, the only one who could help him and had the ability to help him was Gu Yu.

"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed and looked at He Wen. He did not stop He Wen from kowtowing. "If you want to cultivate quickly, normal techniques won't work unless it's an evil technique. But if you cultivate an evil technique, it's easy to go into qi deviation and become a demon who only knows how to kill."

"I'm not afraid," He Wen said firmly. If he had possessed great power earlier, his parents and sister wouldn't have died.

“Speaking of which, I do have a kind of evil technique called Devouring Source Technique, which can devour the cultivation of others and use it for one’s own purposes,” Gu Yu said. The reason he recommended Devouring Source Technique to He Wen was because he found that He Wen’s physique was somewhat special. He had a devouring physique, similar to that of the alien Taotie, which was extremely suitable for this technique. Of course, this technique was also obtained by Gu Yu in his previous life after killing a Taotie, but it was not suitable for him to cultivate.

"The Devouring Source Technique," He Wen murmured, "Will it cause a qi deviation?"

"Yes, devouring the cultivation of others is extremely cruel. In addition, the cultivation of others is not suitable for oneself. The more you devour, the faster you will improve, but the power will also become more mixed, making it easy to explode and die. However, you don't need to worry too much because your physique is very special. Ordinary people need a long time to digest the life essence they absorb, but you have already digested it all." Gu Yu had discovered this when he gave He Wen the life essence before.

"Can I start learning now?" He Wen asked.

"Yes, but there is one rule: you cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you cannot devour the cultivation of good people. If you violate this rule, I will personally eliminate you." Gu Yu said to He Wen. Devouring cultivation was almost like eating people, something Gu Yu could never accept. "Of course, you must restrain yourself when you devour cultivation. If you devour too much or too many different kinds of cultivation, even with your special constitution, you will not be able to withstand it and will still die from overeating."

“Master, I understand.” He Wen suddenly kowtowed to Gu Yu several more times, even changing his form of address.

“He Wen, when you are absorbing cultivation, you will inevitably lose your mind. If the Devouring Source Technique were not suitable for you, I would never have given it to you. In order to keep you clear-headed, I will also give you the Mind-Clearing Technique. You should practice both techniques at the same time.” Gu Yu said.

"Thank you, Master," He Wen said respectfully.

Gu Yu then walked to the table and began writing again. After a short while, he handed the paper to He Wen.

"Go and cultivate diligently! The future world will be very chaotic, and without strength, you will never be able to survive," Gu Yu said.

"Yes, Master." He Wen kowtowed several times to Gu Yu. "Master, I, He Wen, have no way to repay your great kindness. If I, He Wen, can achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"Then let's talk about it when you've mastered your cultivation!" Gu Yu waved his hand and said.

The path of cultivation is inherently difficult, especially now that chaos is approaching and the Source Gate is opening, making cultivation even more challenging. Even the most talented individuals may perish prematurely. Not to mention He Wen, even Gu Yu himself is facing this danger.

What Gu Yu didn't know was that his actions today would create a powerful ally for him in the future: the Evil God, He Wen—but that's a story for another time.

After He Wen left, Gu Yu gave his parents some instructions, went to Xu Family Fort to bring Xu Ling'er back, gave some instructions to Li Demin, Mo Tai and Luo Nanshan, and then took a car to Shengjing.
