Chapter 435: An alternative use for the Beast God statue! Jing Liang doesn't like jokes!

"Captain Su, you truly have a massive capacity!"

"City Lord Jing's wine is good; it's very refreshing to drink!"

Jing Liang laughed, "I had this wine brewed. If Captain Su likes it, I'll gift you a jar."

"Then many thanks, City Lord Jing!"

Su Yang accepted the gift.

Jing Liang was a man of great strength and a senior in the Emergency Squad.

There was no need for Su Yang to refuse a small gift.

"What's there to thank? It's just a jar of wine!" Jing Liang smiled and asked, "Is Captain Su really sure you won't rest in Shiyun City for a few days?"

Su Yang refused, "No need. The mission is urgent, and having just obtained important intelligence, I want to strike while the iron is hot and pull out the Beast God Sect's infiltrated forces in the southwest by the roots!"

"I really envy Qu Fei and the others. If I weren't a City Lord, I might have just followed you to do it!" Jing Liang downed his wine, looking envious. "Clearing out the Beast God Sect in the southwest... just thinking about it feels exciting!"

Qu Fei stood to the side and laughed, "How about this: I'll be the Shiyun City Lord, and you go execute the mission with Captain Su?"

"Qu Fei, are you sure?" Jing Liang set down his wine glass, his gloomy face flushed with excitement. "Today, with Captain Su as a witness, as long as you want to be this City Lord, I will summon all the troops tomorrow morning and announce you as the City Lord. I will also write a resignation statement to the military department. I'll take over your task of following Captain Su to exterminate the Beast God Sect. How about that?"

As Jing Liang spoke, he walked toward Qu Fei.

It was clear he was mostly serious!

Qu Fei was frightened by Jing Liang and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Jing Liang, I was just joking!"

"Joking?" Jing Liang's face immediately turned gloomy. "You say you were joking with me?"

The atmosphere in the entire room instantly turned cold.

Su Yang shouted, "City Lord Jing!"

Jing Liang's gloomy face vanished instantly, replaced by a smile.

He laughed and said, "Captain Su, I was just joking with Qu Fei as well!"

"Hmm!" Su Yang nodded and said nothing more. "We set off tomorrow, so we'll head back now!"

"Good, then I won't keep you!"

Jing Liang directly summoned a military vehicle, got in personally, and sent Su Yang and the others to the entrance of the guesthouse before leaving.

He gave Su Yang full courtesy.

Returning to the guesthouse, Su Yang asked, "What's the deal with City Lord Jing?"

"Some people, you can't joke with... because they'll take it seriously!" Liu Liu Mengyun said from the side. "Clearly, this City Lord Jing doesn't really want to be a City Lord!"

Hou Yongning laughed, "Qu Fei offended Jing Liang!"

Zhou Jiayun also laughed along, "But it's not a big deal. Jing Liang shouldn't be the type to be petty!"

"I haven't seen Jing Liang in a long time; I forgot his personality!" Qu Fei sat on the sofa helplessly and glanced at Liu Liu Mengyun. "Adjutant Liu is right. Jing Liang is stubborn and reclusive; he never jokes with anyone, nor does he like anyone joking with him. He truly doesn't want to be the Shiyun City Lord."

Su Yang asked curiously, "What's going on?"

The others also looked at Qu Fei curiously.

Qu Fei was the most senior of these three Star-Shine rank Beast Masters and had good connections in the Emergency Squad, knowing many things others didn't.

"Jing Liang once said he didn't like being a City Lord; he liked the feeling of doing missions in the Emergency Squad. He said he liked that busy, fulfilling, and stimulating life!"

"Then why did he become the Shiyun City Lord?"

"Of course, because of Squad Leader Yao!" Qu Fei said. "Squad Leader Yao wanted Qu Fei to serve as the Shiyun City Lord. Shiyun City's strategic position is very important; it's one of the key gateways to the southwest. It requires someone with great strength, ruthless methods, and a strong personality to guard it. Jing Liang was chosen at the time!"

"At first, he was unwilling and had a falling out with the Special Action Group leader. It was only when Squad Leader Yao stepped in that he agreed!"

"Look at the situation in Shiyun City, and you'll find that the entire city has over 200,000 people... yet Lei Dong cursed through the whole city and only found a few hundred Beast God Sect believers!" Qu Fei exclaimed in admiration. "Nanyu City was infiltrated like a sieve, but here, which is a transit station for the Beast God Sect entering the southwest, there are only a few hundred ordinary believers. Would you say he's strong or not?"

Su Yang nodded, "Indeed very strong. Judging from the memories of those Beast God Sect believers, they are all somewhat afraid of Jing Liang. In Shiyun City, they basically didn't dare to preach!"

Jing Liang didn't just like hanging Beast God Sect members on the city walls; he also liked using various cruel private punishments.

It was just that he hadn't shown it in front of Su Yang.

The next day, after breakfast, Su Yang led the Special Action Squad members to the train station.

Just as they arrived at the station, he saw Jing Liang.

Jing Liang was standing on the curb at the station exit.

"Captain Su, you've arrived!"

"City Lord Jing, are you here to see us off?"

"Yes, just here to see you off!" Jing Liang smiled gloomily. "And by the way, I've prepared some... little things!"

"What things?"

"Look!"

Jing Liang pointed at the group of soldiers.

Those soldiers were burying a statue halfway into the ground.

"A Beast God statue?"

Su Yang certainly recognized that statue; it was the image of the Beast God Sect's deity.

"Yes! That's right! It's a Beast God statue!" Jing Liang laughed. "I plan to place Beast God statues at the station and the city gates. Anyone entering the station or the city gates must spit on the statue... those who don't spit will be killed!"

Su Yang felt that if the Beast God Sect members knew about this, they would probably go insane with rage!

Jing Liang doing this would definitely make him a prime target for the Beast God Sect.

Jing Liang's move was extremely vicious.

If any Beast God Sect members really wanted to sneak into Shiyun City, would they spit or not?

Even those pseudo-believers of the Beast God probably wouldn't dare.

Because within the Beast God Sect, there were devout believers of the Beast God...

Don't spit, and wait to be hunted down by Jing Liang's army!

Spit, and you might be burned to death by your companions!

This was equivalent to a Beast God Sect believer detector...

"City Lord Jing, this idea... is very excellent!"

Su Yang could only evaluate it as such.

Jing Liang said seriously, "Actually, my inspiration came from Captain Su!"

"Me?"

"That's right, it was you having people curse the Beast God to lure Beast God Sect members into the trap that enlightened me!" Jing Liang laughed. "If it weren't for Captain Su, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"Anyway, I think City Lord Jing's method is quite good!" Su Yang asked, "By the way, can you give me a statue? When I go to other cities, I'll promote it as well!"

The Beast God Sect would definitely love this gift.

"No problem. Yesterday, when we found the Beast God statue, I used it as a mold and cast more than ten!" Jing Liang thought for a moment and pointed at the Beast God statue being installed. "How about I just give you this one!"

"Then thank you!"

Loading the Beast God statue onto the worm cargo carriage, Jing Liang sent Su Yang and the others onto the train, the worm train started, and the entire Shiyun City gradually disappeared...

Watching the worm train disappear, the smile on Jing Liang's face gradually faded, replaced by a gloominess.

At this moment, the soldiers around him all let out a sigh of relief.

This was the City Lord they were familiar with! ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
