I Can See the Book of Life and Death Chapter 86: Failure

Xue Cheng was more cautious than I thought and more prepared than I expected.

He invited a person in the late stage of Zhenyuan realm from somewhere, and added the Jinyiwei in many places in Jianyi, as well as a bronze-medal constable from the Six Gates.

One person is in the late Zhenyuan realm, two are at the peak of Zhenqi realm, and more than twenty people have reached the realm of marrow cleansing and blood exchange.

There were also dozens of people who were practicing Yijinbeng and Jiangu making preparations on the shore.

With such sufficient preparation, even a surprise attack on either of the Wang or Li families would inflict heavy damage, but they were somewhat weakened in the underground river.

Because there are two monsters in the True Yuan realm in the underground river.

The battle took place in the water, and human warriors were not at an advantage.

Not to mention that the other side had two monsters in the Zhenyuan realm. When the battle was most intense, the other one suddenly rushed out and seriously injured the warrior in the late Zhenyuan realm.

Xue Cheng and the bronze-medal captain of the Six Gates struggled to hold back another demon beast in the late Zhen Yuan stage.

But the people involved in the incident were also severely injured, and only three Jinyiwei colleagues survived.

A demon beast in the True Yuan realm has disappeared.

Well, if I hadn't noticed something was wrong and sounded the alarm in advance, attracting the attention of the county government and even mobilizing the local garrison, I'm afraid everyone would have died.

Even so, this incident was quite tragic.

Xue Cheng and the man with the bronze axe from the Six Gates were seriously injured, and both of them used the blood-burning method, which consumed a lot of their physical potential. They are afraid that their lifespans will be greatly reduced and it will be difficult for them to break through to a higher level.

The powerful reinforcement Xue Cheng invited was suspected to be an elder in his family. After being seriously injured, his blood and energy exploded.

He died together with a demon beast in the True Yuan realm.

I saw in full detail the intricate roads in the Ganjiang River underground river. The intricate underground river actually had eight exits, and the roads inside were even more intricate, like a maze.

Many pieces of feces left by monsters were found in the river. After identification by the Jinyiwei and the Six Gates police, it was determined that they were the remains of the monsters' digestion of humans, including a lot of torn human clothing.

The incident shocked Longxing Prefecture. A silver-medal captain was sent down from the Six Gates, and a deputy captain was also sent down from the Jinyiwei.

But the real leader among the demons had already escaped, and the demons that were captured alive were not intelligent enough to find out much information.

The silver medal leader of the Six Gates determined through the remaining feces and clothing that there were about hundreds of humans devoured by the demons, but in fact there should be more.

A lot of residual information flowed along the river, and no one knew where it went.

The more information was investigated, the more it was discovered that many people were punished in this incident, and many people were promoted.

But it has little to do with Xue Cheng and the bronze-medal captain of the Six Gates.

Xue Cheng was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but it was a sinecure. He himself lived in seclusion behind the scenes on the grounds of lack of strength and energy, and his name was rarely heard of.

Another bronze-medal captain of the Six Gates received similar treatment.

After all, this was an extremely failed operation. They discovered that the demon had made a contribution, but they acted too rashly.

The merits must be mentioned, but due to the sacrifices made by many colleagues, no criticism was given.

But afterwards they were all put on idle positions, which was considered an alternative punishment.

In fact, no one could have imagined beforehand that in the heartland of the human race, the prosperous land of Jiangnan could actually hide two demons in the Zhenyuan realm, and even dozens of demons in the Zhenqi realm who had become spiritual demons.

But merit is merit, and fault is fault.

I felt so uncomfortable and wanted to give a huge credit to Xue Cheng.

But at the same time, I was shirking responsibility and didn't want to take risks. I never thought that it would bring such a huge blow and impact to Xue Cheng.

Afterwards I learned that the person who died in the underground river was his uncle. Xue Chengdu was depressed for many years afterwards, and four years later he died from the impact of that battle.

The other demon who escaped was wanted nationwide, but it was not until five years later that he was captured and brought to justice by a silver-medal constable from the Six Gates.

The mysterious case from that year also resurfaced, but unfortunately Xue Cheng would never see it again.

But I saw it.

After the Book of Life and Death did not give me any more clues after a year, I knew that I was the brother who was exploring the future, and I recorded all the situations.

There is indeed a reason why demons can thrive and multiply in the heartland of the human race and breed dozens of psychic demon beasts.

One of the clam-like aquatic monsters used magic to confuse the leader of the grain ship gang, forcing him to prepare sacrifices within a fixed time or when a large amount of goods needed to be transported, and it would ensure that their route was unobstructed.

He calls himself the God of Ganjiang River, which is consistent with some information I have heard before.

As for the sacrifice, it is of course a living person.

The human race is of great benefit to the demons. As for the sacrifices of ordinary cattle, sheep and livestock, the demons do not care.

Only the flesh and blood of the intelligent human race can breed dozens of monsters.

The grain ship gang secretly made hundreds or even thousands of people disappear without causing any trouble. They did not rely on collusion with the government, but instead gathered some old, weak, sick and disabled people when the flood occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as women who could not afford to support themselves and had to give away their babies.

I still remember the verdict of the trial of the leader of the Grain Ship Gang, because I was the one who arrested and interrogated him.

"No one cares about the lives of us untouchables. We are like weeds in the fields. We die every winter, but sprout again in spring."

"The characters I collected were destined to die, just like weeds in winter. Why not use these weeds to help my spring sprouts?"

“That’s ridiculous!”

"Oh, isn't that ridiculous? If the flood hadn't happened and my Liangtian hadn't been swallowed up by those masters, how could I have ended up joining the grain ship gang?"

"More than ten people in my family all starved to death, and I was the only one who survived. Who would care? No one."

"You've betrayed the fundamental interests of our human race with such bloody and cruel means, and yet you still have such confidence?"

"Ha! Selling out the fundamental interests of the human race? My Liangchuan Gang has over a thousand people, and we all live quite well. Among them, there are hundreds who can practice martial arts, and dozens who have undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion. Am I not protecting and strengthening the human race?"

"Everyone in my grain ship gang is selling their labor to make a living. Of course, we are not as good as the master. After all, the master only needs to sit in his own fortress and watch all kinds of natural disasters happen. Naturally, countless people will sell their children and become slaves and servants, and they can earn countless fertile land at a low price.

"As for those winter weeds, have you ever even looked at them, sir?"

"What I did was bloody and violent. Have you ever seen a baby tower in the countryside?"
