Seven-star Sword Master

Just when Ningtai Township fell into chaos again, fast horses rushed out of the office; sitting on the horses were not inspection guards, but servants from the Inspection Office.

"The adults from the Inspection Department are checking the city defense formation, don't panic."

After leaving the Inspection Office, these fast horse soldiers split into several groups and quickly disappeared from sight.

With the comfort of these people, Ningtai Township, which was about to fall into chaos, quickly calmed down.

Some idle people were very dissatisfied with this, because some of them had gained a lot of benefits in the last chaos, and they thought they could make a fortune again this time, but in the end it was just a false alarm.

Except for those patrol guards who needed to stay behind to guard the patrol office and could not leave, all other patrol guards gathered in the courtyard of the office.

The only four third-level patrol guards in the Si Mansion all came this time. Zhao Lei and Wang Ming had just finished recovering from their injuries, and there was another third-level patrol guard named Su Yong.

Liu Xiangyang and the other three Siping envoys came together. He stood opposite the patrol guards and said to everyone:

"Everyone, my Ningtai Township has been rampant with demons recently. Last night, nearly ten people, demons, and monsters at the Spiritual Liquid Realm fought each other. They totally ignored our Inspection Department.

Therefore, today I discussed with the other three Siping envoys and decided to eradicate all the rats hiding in the darkness in one fell swoop."

On the other side, some are happy and some are sad.

Because this move is nothing more than a head-on fight with all the demons hiding underground, which will naturally cause casualties.

But this is their job, if they go they might still survive, but if they don't go, they will be charged with deserting the battlefield and their lives will be in danger immediately.

The troops were divided into three groups, and Liu Xiangyang stayed in the Si Mansion so that he could provide support at any time.

Tian Lixiang and Bai Haiqing led one team each, Zhao Lei and Wang Ming led one team, and Lu Feipeng and Su Yong led one team.

The four teams began searching outward in four directions: east, west, south and north, with the Si Mansion as the center.

This massive demon-eliminating operation soon caused a commotion in the city.

In a stronghold of the Changsheng Sect in the west of the city, Sun Dahai was sitting cross-legged to heal his injuries when he suddenly felt a vibration in his chest.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Last night, he was ambushed by the Blood Red Alliance, causing his Changsheng Sect to suffer heavy losses in Ningtai Township.

Ever since he escaped last night, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

But not long after, he received news that the Crimson Alliance had suffered heavy losses.

After learning the news, he was originally worried and didn't know how to explain to his superiors. But now, he sent a message to his superiors on the spot to request for credit.

The content is roughly as follows: We were ambushed by the Blood Red Alliance of Ningtai Township yesterday and lost a cultivator in the Spirit Liquid Realm and two big monsters.

However, with the all-out counterattack of his subordinates, three of the enemy's Xuan Demons and a cultivator in the Lingye Realm were killed.

Finally, they implicitly suggested that they were afraid that the enemy would ask for help from above and attack them again, so they wanted more people to be dispatched down.

After Sun Dahai checked the content of the message symbol, his face changed instantly. Without caring about anything else, he quickly called Li Zheng beside him to go out.

The same scene is also happening in the east and north of the city.

Back here, it was the first time that Lu Feipeng and Su Yong met. The two of them led a team to search house by house.

With no other options, they could only use the clumsy method to screen them one by one.

Whenever they came to an alley, Lu Feipeng and Su Yong would each occupy one end of the alley, and have the patrol guards below walk around the alley holding something that looked like a formation plate.

This array plate is an upgraded version of the Demon Detecting Talisman, and its name is Demon Detecting Plate. It can detect an area within a radius of ten feet.

In other words, if demonic energy appears within a radius of ten feet, the pointer on the demon-measuring disk will change. If there is no pointer, there will be no movement at all.

This is a huge project, but the effect is significant. They have discovered many hiding demons, but these demons are all in the spirit-inducing realm.

Time was short and the task was heavy, so they worked quickly and completed the search of the area they were responsible for before dark.

I went back to Si Mansion and took a look.

Oh wow, they are all back. They are the last team to come back.

This should mean that things were going smoothly, but that was not the case.

Lu Feipeng returned to Si Mansion to report, and found that Siping made them all look worried, and as soon as he came in, the four of them looked at him and Su Yong.

"broken!"

When he saw the expressions of the four people, Lu Feipeng guessed that something bad must have happened.

"What happened to Master Liu?"

Among the Siping envoys, he only had a better relationship with Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang shook his head and asked Lu Feipeng and the others:

"How is the situation over there?"

"We have dealt with five demons from the Soul Induction Realm and three from the Monster Clan."

Lu Feipeng answered truthfully.

After hearing what Lu Feipeng said, Liu Xiangyang and the other three looked at each other, and their expressions became even more serious.

"Made!"

At this moment, Tian Lixiang, who came from a noble family, directly cursed.

This move made Lu Feipeng even more confused. What on earth had happened?

Liu Xiangyang waved his hand to let Su Yong go down and kept Lu Feipeng.

At this time, the duck-like voice of Eunuch Xu came from the side;

"What Liu Xiangyang is going to do next is confidential. What's the point of keeping Inspector Lu here?"

Liu Xiangyang knew that if he left Lu Feipeng behind, it would definitely arouse other people's suspicion, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say:

"Don't panic, Eunuch Xu. In fact, today's action was proposed by Inspector Lu, so I think it is necessary to let him know."

After this was said, it was not appropriate for everyone to continue pursuing this topic. Eunuch Xu wanted to say something, but when he remembered what happened last night, he stopped talking.

"What happened to Master Liu?"

Seeing that something seemed a little wrong, Lu Feipeng decided not to get involved in the matter.

But Liu Xiangyang's next words made him break out in a cold sweat, and he had no choice but to continue to get involved.

I only heard Liu Xiangyang say:

"Inspector Lu, you may not know that in today's operation, your four teams did not find even one person with the Spiritual Liquid Realm."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lu Feipeng was shocked, and then he said:

"How is it possible! He escaped last night..."

But before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly, and then he reacted.

Something happened, something big happened!

Now he finally understood why Liu Xiangyang and the others were sitting here with such grim expressions.

According to what he wrote, there should be at least five cultivators in the Spirit Liquid Realm and the big monster that escaped last night in Ningtai Township. As for whether there are any more monsters hiding in secret, he has no idea.

However, these things that were known to exist have now disappeared in such a search. If you think about it carefully, the things hidden in them are definitely not ordinary.

Lu Feipeng immediately thought of a possibility, and the next moment he blurted out:

"There's a spy in the Si Mansion!"

This is exactly what Liu Xiangyang and the others were thinking.

"But how is this possible? We all took an oath when we joined the Inspection Department, and there are no loopholes in the oath."

This was something that puzzled Lu Feipeng. He couldn't understand how he survived if someone betrayed the Inspection Office and broke his oath?

The next moment, Liu Xiangyang explained to him:

"In fact, there are many things in the world that can circumvent oaths, so that people don't have to fear the backlash of oaths."

Bai Haiqing looked at Liu Xiangyang and said in confusion:

"Old Liu, even if there is a traitor in our government, how did they evade our search? Could it be that they have other ways to enter and exit Ningtai Township?"

"Yes, the entire Ningtai Township is covered by a formation. Apart from the four city gates, there is no way in or out."

Tian Lixiang also added.

"Perhaps after the battle last night, they were afraid that we would search them and ran away early?"

Liu Xiangyang was also a little unsure about what was going on. After all, there was no way that there would be any problems with the formation in Ningtai Township.

"Since you have no idea, let's not talk about this matter for now. The most urgent thing is to find the traitor first."

After saying this, Liu Xiangyang looked at Eunuch Xu and said:

"Sir, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."

Even though Eunuch Xu is not a man who does his job properly and only knows how to intrigue, he is the most suitable person to take charge of the matter at this time.

After all, they are used to intrigue and scheme, and if there is the slightest disturbance or something wrong, they can always smell something wrong before others notice it.

In fact, Eunuch Xu was also quite depressed. He had already thought about the content of the report. He and Liu Xiangyang could account for 60 to 70 percent of the credit this time.

Just wait for things to be over and see how many big fish in the Spirit Liquid Realm can be dealt with.

But who would have thought that after making such a big fuss, they ended up only killing a dozen small shrimps in the Spirit Induction Realm.

Not only did this make Eunuch Xu happy for nothing, but it also wasted his entire day's mood.

"it is good!"

Eunuch Xu gritted his teeth and agreed to the deal.

You say that since Eunuch Xu had cut off the root of his worries, his only hobbies in life have been to gain power, money and credit.

But now someone has deprived him of even this hobby. Eunuch Xu is very angry and the consequences are serious!

He decided to find out the spies who had infiltrated the Inspection Department, and then cut off the root of their troubles and let them experience this feeling.

Then they discussed today's events. Although they did not see any demons in the Spirit Liquid Realm, they had almost eliminated all the demons in the Spirit Inducing Realm in the entire Ningtai Township, so it was not a complete loss.

In the short term, there will be no more demons from the spirit-inducing realm causing trouble in Ningtai Township, and they can have some peace and quiet in the days to come.

The next step was to thoroughly investigate the traitor. Liu Xiangyang took the lead in front of everyone and re-read the oath to join the Inspection Department to prove his innocence.

Eunuch Xu and the other three also swore their oaths again like Liu Xiangyang. Lu Feipeng was quite speechless because he had just sworn it before, but in order to prove his innocence, he swore it again.
