Wuqing sighed upon hearing this, "We haven't come to any conclusions. According to the intelligence from Tianji Prefecture, we haven't been able to find out a single clue about the Blood Demon Sect's lair. Every time they make a fuss, our Divine Arrest Bureau only receives the intelligence and goes to wipe them out!"
Leng Xue continued, "Unfortunately, every time we arrived, they had already finished their blood sacrifice and killed many people. We could only chase after them, but they escaped too quickly. We were only able to catch them and kill them a few times, which put us in a very passive position!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face turned solemn. "The Blood Demon Sect is truly well-hidden; it's so difficult to even gather a single piece of information!"
Upon Zhuiming, Zhui Ming sighed, "No matter how well they hide, we still have ways to find out information from them. However, without exception, all those Blood Demon Sect Cult members who were captured died by poisoning!"
"Even if we restrict their use of poison, there's still a Blood Curse. If they utter even the slightest bit of information, their souls will be instantly annihilated, and they'll die a horrible death!"
Upon hearing this, Iron Hand clenched his fists tightly. "Whenever I think of these innocent people being tortured to death, a surge of anger rises in my heart. I really want to kill them as soon as possible!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Reporting to Lord Wuqing! I have something important to report!"
Upon hearing this, Wuqing frowned. "Come in!"
A servant from the Tianji Prefecture slowly walked in, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to Lord Wuqing! Our intelligence department has received many distress messages, all of which are the work of the Blood Demon Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Wuqing's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean? Did the Blood Demon Sect attack our people?"
The intelligence officer, upon hearing this, said gravely, "These people who sent out distress messages are all high-ranking constables on missions, and they all said they were attacked by the Blood Demon Sect Cult deacons! The situation is extremely critical!"
Upon hearing this, Wuqing asked gravely, "How many people have gone to provide assistance? And who hasn't received help yet?"
The intelligence servant slowly replied, "This matter has been communicated to the entire Tianji Prefecture. Many fourth-rank constables from the Divine Arrest Bureau have gone to the rescue, leaving only five distress points unattended!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said solemnly, "In that case, let's each go to a different place!"
Leng Xue nodded upon hearing this. "Alright! Let's not delay! Let's set off now!"
The intelligence officer was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and gritted his teeth, saying, "This... sir! You... you're only Rank Five Constable! It's too dangerous for you to go there rashly!"
Upon hearing this, Wuqing chuckled lightly, "Little Wu! Don't worry! His strength is no less than ours!"
The intelligence servant was immediately startled upon hearing this, and then he realized that this person was the one who was rumored to be on very good terms with these four officials.
The intelligence servant quickly bowed and said, "It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness, Lord Li. Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng waved his hand dismissively. "It's alright! Now tell me the location quickly, and we'll set off immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the intelligence servant quickly took out five bamboo tubes and handed them to the five men, saying, "These are five locations where you can seek help. Please take a close look, gentlemen!"
After receiving the bamboo tubes, the five nodded to each other. "Let's not delay! Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five figures flashed past the intelligence servant and disappeared without a trace, each rushing towards the ground where they were seeking help.
The intelligence officer only felt a gust of wind sweep past him before he disappeared from sight. He was shocked and secretly admired the five men. "If only I had the strength of these five lords!"
"Damn it! Damn it! We were just trying to catch that criminal, how did we run into people like the Blood Demon Sect!" Yuan Jiamu's clothes were tattered, with several holes revealing the golden Inner Armor underneath, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
A faint trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the Inner Armor blocking this fatal attack, Yuan Jiamu would probably have died at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect deacon.
Qi Gaofeng and Fan Junming both had several injuries, but they were all minor and not too serious. Their faces were pale, and they were praying that their rescuers would arrive as soon as possible.
At this moment, more than a dozen blood-clad figures appeared behind them, and the five people charging at the forefront were the five deacons of the Blood Demon Sect, who slowly chased after them like cats playing with mice, their faces full of mockery.
"Hey! You're really not a constable from the Divine Arrest Bureau? How come you ran around so awkwardly? You looked like three rats, utterly ridiculous!"
"Heh heh! Divine Arrest Bureau! You've finally met your match. This time, our Blood Demon Sect will definitely give you a lasting impression!"
Fan Junming and his two companions turned ashen-faced upon hearing this, feeling utterly humiliated. They hadn't expected their very first mission to be so perilous, encountering the Blood Demon Sect, known for its brutality and ruthlessness.
The three ignored their taunts and retreated frantically. The five Blood Demon Sect deacons sneered, nodded to each other, and split up into five figures to surround them.
At this moment, the three of them were completely unaware of the commotion. After turning around to look, their expressions suddenly changed, and they realized that the five of them had vanished. They immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Suddenly, a bloody shadow flashed in front of Yuan Jiamu, and the curved blade in his hand slashed down, striking out a bloody cold light in the air, and fiercely slashed towards Yuan Jiamu's neck. The method was extremely ruthless, and the move was meant to take a life!
Startled by the sudden attack, Yuan Jiamu turned pale and hurriedly used his longsword to defend himself. With a bang, Yuan Jiamu felt a violent force blast him away, and the sword in his hand was violently knocked away.
It slammed into the tree trunk and crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Qi Gaofeng, seeing this, looked furious and roared, "What a piece of trash!"
Yuan Jiamu was actually not much weaker than the steward who suddenly made a move, but he was already filled with fear and had no fighting spirit whatsoever. He was directly defeated by the Blood Shadow with a single strike and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Fan Junming's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing this. He never imagined that this disciple of the Yuan Family Clan would be so incompetent, lacking even the mental fortitude to deal with dangerous situations. He deeply regretted ever teaming up with this good-for-nothing.
Yuan Jiamu was furious when someone publicly called him a piece of trash. "You're the trash! I was just distracted for a moment. If I had gone all out, that guy wouldn't have been able to do anything to me!"
Qi Gaofeng sneered inwardly, "Really? You make it sound so true, I almost believed you!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiamu's face turned blood red, and he roared, "You piece of trash, shut up!"
The blood-red figure slowly landed to the side, watching their infighting, a mocking smile on its face. "Continue! It's quite a show!"
