Boom!
Commander Li's mind went blank for an instant, and the color drained from his resolute face.
His whole body felt as if he had been struck by thunder from nine heavens, his body shook, and he almost fell over.
Mu Ying suddenly turned around, her cold and piercing eyes fixed on her most trusted deputy.
There was unbelievable shock in his eyes, as well as a hint of heartache that was difficult to conceal.
"You..."
Commander Li struggled to squeeze out a word.
Under the gaze of Mu Ying's eyes that turned into thousands of years of ice, the last hope in his heart was completely shattered.
He wanted to explain, to beg for mercy, to tell the story of his inability to control himself.
But Muying didn't give him any chance at all.
The law of the North is never tender judgment, but cruel survival.
In northern Xinjiang, those who betray will only die.
Clang!
The sound of Qingyue's sword suddenly exploded, like a thousand-mile glacier suddenly bursting.
Muying took action.
There are no gorgeous moves and no vast spiritual power.
Only a flash of extremely fast silver lightning broke his sight.
She didn't even draw her sword, she just used the end of the sword hilt to hit Commander Li's dantian Qi sea accurately.
Poof--
Commander Li felt as if he had been hit hard from the front by a giant battering ram, his body suddenly arched into a shrimp shape, and a mouthful of hot blood mixed with fine spiritual power spurted out crazily.
King Realm's surging cultivation just now was like a punctured balloon, instantly collapsing and languishing.
Dantian was completely destroyed.
"Drag it down."
Mu Ying's voice was even more biting and cold than the wind and snow raging outside the window.
"Pry open his mouth and dig out every secret he knows."
From beginning to end, she never looked at Commander Li again.
It was as if this right-hand man who had been following her for thirty years and had sacrificed his life to block fatal murderous attempts for her several times was just a piece of discarded garbage that needed to be cleaned up.
Two guards in black stepped forward, expressionlessly picked up Commander Li who was lying on the ground, and dragged him away from the city.
Above the city wall, deathly silence spread.
All the remaining lieutenants and commanders remained silent, their heads lowered, and they even breathed deliberately softly, not daring to make the slightest move.
Everyone looked at Mu Ying with piercing fear.
And when he looked at the black-clothed figure at the bottom of the city, he was filled with nothing but extreme terror.
With just one sentence, Mu Shuai personally destroyed a high-level commander of the King Realm.
What kind of terrifying person is this new Prison Suppression King?
"Sure enough, no one is mediocre or stupid who can guard a territory."
Su Yu secretly approved in his heart.
Mu Ying's decisiveness in killing far exceeded his expectations and saved him a lot of trouble.
He raised his eyes and calmly met Mu Ying's gaze.
In those cold phoenix eyes, shock, anger, regret, and heartache were intertwined in layers, and finally they all settled into a bottomless complexity.
"Prison Suppression King, please."
Mu Ying nodded slightly and raised her hand to guide the way.
She doesn't need to apologize or explain.
Killing rebels with thunder and improving military discipline are the best attitudes she has given.
Su Yu took one step forward, his ghostly figure teleported, and he instantly landed on the top of the city, standing side by side with Mu Ying.
"Open the city gate."
Mu Ying ordered coldly.
The giant door of black ice, as thick as a mountain, slowly opened to both sides amidst the harsh sound of the machine's rotation.
Mu Ying personally led the way, taking Su Yu into this iron-blooded fortress that stands tall in the northern border and is indestructible in a hundred battles.
The atmosphere inside Black Frost Castle was extremely depressing.
On both sides of the long street, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
Demon Suppression Guard, who was fully armored, held a weapon in his hand and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at the young man in black behind Mu Ying.
The hundreds of years of battles Sha Qi are enough to shatter the souls of ordinary King Realm monks.
But Su Yu walked calmly and turned a blind eye.
He walked slowly forward with Mu Ying, his eyes slowly scanning the entire city brick by brick.
The architecture here has sharp edges and corners, without any unnecessary decoration.
The vicissitudes of wind and snow and the vigilance that penetrated deep into the bones were engraved on the faces of every soldier in the city.
This is a majestic war city that took root in the flames of war and lasts forever in the midst of fighting.
"Your Majesty."
After a long silence, Mu Ying finally spoke, her voice still cold and solemn.
"Commander Li has neglected his duties and collaborated with the enemy. It is because of my unclear knowledge of people and poor supervision. But the situation in the north is far more complicated than the prince imagined."
The two entered the Demon Suppression Bureau core meeting hall.
In the center of the hall stands an exquisite and magnificent Northern Xinjiang sand table.
The trends of mountains and rivers, glaciers and border defense lines are clearly visible.
Countless blood-colored marks are densely scattered all over the sand table. Everywhere is a battlefield where demons and Demon Suppression Bureau have been fighting for years and bones are piled up.
"I'm not interested in hearing any hard feelings."
Su Yu interrupted her directly and walked straight to the front of the sand table.
His eyes were precisely focused on the northwest corner of the sand table, an inconspicuous area surrounded by dark cinnabar.
The pit of ten thousand souls.
"Here."
Su Yu Tap your fingertips lightly on the sand table.
"Blood Baleful Intent Hall and Demon God Cult secretly joined forces to build the Heaven-Bearing Blood Altar here, with the intention of attracting the power of the Emperor Realm from outside the territory to come to this world. Do you know about this?"
Mu Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.
She stared at Su Yu, trying to find any hint of joking on his calm face.
All you can see is indifference and determination.
"No way!"
Mu Ying categorically rejected it with an extremely firm tone.
"Wanhunkeng is a well-known dangerous place in northern Xinjiang. It has accumulated grievances for thousands of years. The environment is extremely harsh and not even a blade of grass can grow."
"The start of any large-scale project or the gathering of forces will never be hidden from my northern Xinjiang inspection spies!"
"My team patrols every three days and reports every time, and there has never been any abnormality!"
"Nothing unusual?"
Su Yu The corners of his lips curled into a cold sneer.
"Everything you see is normal and unruffled is the biggest abnormality in itself."
He turned around and looked directly into Mu Ying's eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion.
"Let me ask you, how often does the patrol team stationed in Wanhun Pit change its defenses?"
"Every month." Mu Ying blurted out.
"How to place the soldiers who have returned from the defense change?"
"According to military regulations, return to Black Frost Castle to rest for seven days to purify Spirit Transformation's soul and get rid of any resentment, and then reorganize into the regular defense line."
Mu Ying frowned, her heart filled with doubts as she wondered why Su Yu was asking about these routine military matters.
"Take out the list of all the soldiers who have returned from the Ten Thousand Souls Pit in the past six months."
Su Yu's tone was cold and without any room for mercy.
Mu Ying felt a sudden chill in her heart, and a horrifying thought suddenly came to her mind.
"Do you suspect that... there is something wrong with all of them?"
"Not a suspicion."
Su Yu raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a sharp edge, and his tone was as sure as the final judgment.
"Under my command, I don't need mediocre waste, let alone dead people who have been eroded long ago."
He glanced past Mu Ying and toward the group of captains and commanders who were in panic and had their own concerns at the entrance of the hall.
"No need for cumbersome file transfer and verification."
Su Yu The corners of his mouth raised slightly, evoking a chilling arc that made the whole audience stop.
"Send the order immediately."
"All soldiers who have been stationed or inspected the Ten Thousand Souls Pit must gather in the central square."
"Today, I will personally call the names and conduct a thorough investigation."
