Traces of the Devil Sect
Poor maid.
Deer Divine Lord stood up from his seat.
Sooner or later you'll understand what it means to have uneven eyebrows and eyes.
He was Rogue Cultivator from the Eastern Sea, originally from the Rakshasa Sea.
Rakshasa Sea, one of the top trading companies in the Eastern Sea, has intricate connections with the East Sea Sword Palace and the Southern Wastes Demon Cult.
The Langya Wang Clan and the Chen Commandery Xie Clan have long been partners of the Rakshasa Sea in the Southern Liang.
The reason he was sent to Southern Liang this time was to handle some matters.
Having been rebuffed by Lady Xie, Deer Divine Lord remained silent.
His Fifth Grade cultivation level would make him a pillar of strength in the Central Land, but it's really nothing special in the Rakshasa Sea.
Let's deal with Shikshananda's matter first.
Deer Divine Lord's figure vanished from the room in an instant, leaving only a faint mist.
"Madam, this water demon looks quite delicious. Why don't I chase after him and devour him?"
"Forget it, the Eastern Sea is full of these half-baked people who have some Law Power and think they're gods. Mysterious Capital Palace says the Central Land are a land of people, but he'll never understand the meaning of 'people' in his entire life."
Lady Xie rested her chin on her hand, picked up a grape from the side, and put it in her mouth.
"That Su Che."
The maid looked at Lady Xie: "The smell on him..."
"Cooperate with the Buddhist School, bring Shikshananda into the scheme, and establish connections with the Eastern Sea."
Lady Xie smiled, "This is a grand decision made personally by the Emperor. Under this grand strategy, neither the Duling Su Clan, nor the Sixfold Azure Dragon, nor even the millions of people of Ci Prefecture will be considered by the Holy Emperor..."
"I don't understand at all."
Zhu Yan shook his head.
"It's understandable that we don't understand, because I don't understand what that emperor is thinking either. But since he has already put us in this position, we have no choice but to move forward."
People say the Wang-Xie Clans families represent half the world, but who knows what the price is behind that empty fame?
Lady Xie shook her head, her eyes filled with desolation.
In the county government office of Tian'an County, Magistrate Pei Huai once again offered words of advice, implying that it was unwise to confront the Langya Wang Clan under the current circumstances.
Su Che didn't say anything more to this county magistrate who came from a poor family.
What he truly cared about was Zhu Yi.
Su Che didn't linger and returned directly to the silk shop where the Imperial Demon Hunters were stationed.
Zhu Yi has returned, looking very worried.
"Have the items been handed over to the City God?"
"I didn't see the county City God, but his ghost messenger accepted that item."
Zhu Yi sighed.
"My lord, please tell me what exactly happened this time..."
He was genuinely worried.
After all these years Imperial Demon Hunters, he's still the same. To put it nicely, he's a stationed envoy; to put it bluntly, he's nothing.
Zhu Yi once had a passionate heart for the Great Liang, but now he only wants to retire peacefully after achieving his goals.
Suddenly a major case came along, one that he neither could nor wanted to handle.
"Take a look at this."
Su Che thought about the patterns on the blood talismans, picked up paper and pen, and roughly sketched them. Then he picked up another piece of paper and wrote a few characters that looked like birds and insects.
"Did you understand these two pieces of paper?"
"The other one seems to be written in the Insect Script and Bird Seal of the Southern Wastes."
"It's the Insect Script and Bird Seal."
Back when he was in Shanyin County, Su Che fortuitous opportunity to see this legendary Insect Script and Bird Seal that supposedly originated from the Southern Wastes.
Does it look like it?
Zhu Yi held up the two pieces of paper and examined them carefully.
"Although the graphics are different, the taste inside is..."
"It should be the Heavenly Demon Monster Diagram combined with Insect Script and Bird Seal; someone is using Devil Sect methods to raise Gu poison."
Su Che tossed the two pieces of paper aside. He hadn't fully explained himself; his current judgment was based on the fact that the layout of the mansion reminded Su Che of someone.
The Old Monster of Mystic Mountain, or rather, the Lion Azure Lotus Perfected Tathagata.
The sinister aura emanating from those blood talismans reminded Su Che of the methods the Old Lion had used in the final stages of the tomb at Oxhead Mountain.
However, while the Old Lion combined Devil Sect techniques with Buddhist School Mandala, here the script has been changed to Insect Script and Bird Seal.
"The Devil Sect?"
I guess so.
Zhu Yi gasped.
"The Devil Sect has also infiltrated the Central Land?"
The Devil Sect is arguably the most hated group of cultivators in the world. Besides their disregard for Dao and Virtue, the most important reason is Devil Sect emphasis on Self-Transformation Freedom and boundless Demonic Corruption.
Stealing the cultivation of others and making it one's own is the very essence of the Devil Sect cultivation.
Although the rules of the Mysterious Capital Palace stipulate that no one in the Central Land can display power exceeding the Third Grade of cultivation, the Earth Immortal of the Mysterious Capital Palace still have time to play with any Devil Sect figures who dare to set foot in the Central Land.
As for the Mystic Gate and Sword Sect sects in the Central Land and the Eastern Sea, they regarded the Devil Sect as prey, and would call their allies to kill them on sight.
Therefore, the Devil Sect generally stays in the north and south, rarely sending anyone to the Central Plains.
Even if someone comes, they act alone, just like the one from the Heavenly Firmament Sect who Yan Bixing, like a lone wolf separated from its pack.
This is all due to the overall environment of the Central Land.
Once it becomes clear that the Demonic Sect may have been Devil Sect actions in Tian'an County, it will inevitably cause even greater turmoil.
Zhu Yi estimated that he, being such a small fry, would probably drown.
"Keep a close eye on him, the City God of Tian'an County is acting strangely..." Su Che shook his head after saying this, "Never mind, it's just the two of us here, I'll handle him."
"My lord, I'm afraid I can't do this." Zhu Yi's face was ashen. "I've always been a local official who does nothing of note. My death is a small matter, but if I delay the important affairs of the court and you, my lord, that would be something I could never atone for with my life."
"You, go in my place."
Su Che had figured out his intentions.
"I'll write a secret letter, and you can deliver it to Captain Shi for me. That way, I'll have an explanation."
"Your Excellency's noble character is something I will never forget."
"The meager salary from the imperial court is certainly not enough to risk one's life."
Su Che fully understood Zhu Yi's choice.
In the present day, the Great Liang Empire, at its highest level, belongs to the emperor, and at its lowest level, to the powerful and influential families.
Yu Ze ran away when things went wrong; he was a complete scoundrel. Zhu Yi, on the other hand, was thinking of his wife and children, which is understandable.
It didn't take much effort to write a letter. Su Che quickly wrote a bland and uninteresting secret letter and handed it to Zhu Yi.
"Go when you should. These are turbulent times. The Yin-Yang Realm has just emerged, and there are many Hungry Ghost Vicious Spirit. Take care of yourself."
"Grown ups..."
Zhu Yi didn't say anything.
This superior was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Just as he was moved, shouts and questions came from outside.
Is anyone inside? Where is Zhu Yi?
"The Chief Censor has arrived, why is no one there to greet him?"
Shi Chibao.
Su Che looked towards the door. Why was this superior here at this time?
