Chapter 262
After that, he ordered all the new demons who showed their ugly behavior to be
The black-robed man glanced around, his gaze icy: "This is the fate of those who collude with the devil!"
After saying this, he ordered that all the new demons who had revealed their ugly behavior be executed, and then left with a group of black-robed men.
The Inspectorate's act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys effectively intimidated the onlookers.
People tend to forget things. The last time the Inspectorate went on a killing spree was a few years ago. It was because a logistics officer cut corners on equipment and even sold the saved materials into the wilderness.
It's not that they don't know what consequences will be caused by the leakage of those equipment, they just don't care.
No matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot scare away the greed of some people.
So, the logistics officer died, and not only he died, but all 163 members of his family were executed without exception.
The punishments of the Supervisory Department are very severe, and this kind of collective punishment is somewhat cruel, but this is the foundation of the Supervisory Department. They want to use harsh punishments to warn the world that the Bloody Battle City is a key checkpoint that concerns the human race. Anyone who attempts to obtain illegal benefits here will pay a heavy price.
Any place can be in chaos, except the bloody battle checkpoint, because this is the front line of the human race against the demons. If chaos breaks out here, once the demons break through the bloody battle checkpoint, the entire continent will become the demons' playground, and the human race will become their food.
Severe punishments are used in troubled times, and the same is true in the Bloody Battle City. The Supervisory Office relies on this harsh torture to suppress the millions of troops in the Bloody Battle City.
Arrogant soldiers and brave generals, arrogant soldiers and brave generals, if there were no Supervisory Department, how could these people honestly abide by the rules of the Blood Battle City.
Everyone has selfish desires, but people in the Supervisory Office don’t.
Because anyone who joins the Supervisory Department must go through a special ceremony. Once they develop selfish motives while handling a case, they will be immediately detected by the formation and notified to the head of the Supervisory Department.
Only in this way can we ensure the purity of the Supervisory Office and ensure that they will not abuse their power for personal gain.
In the Blood Battle City, the deterrent power of the Supervisory Department is even greater than that of the Command Group, because the Command Group must abide by the rules, while the Supervisory Department can turn the table when necessary.
After this mass execution, the entire environment of Blood Battle City was cleared.
Those who used to skirt the rules no longer dare to violate any regulations.
Nowadays, walking on the streets of Blood Battle City, the atmosphere is indescribably harmonious, and people will even rush to apologize if they bump into someone on the road.
"Isn't this... a bit of an overreaction?" Cheng Hui said speechlessly as he looked at the two people on the street who were about to fight after apologizing.
Lin Qingyang glanced at them and curled his lips: "Don't worry, it won't last long. Everyone is just scared by the people from the Supervisory Department. After a while, when they realize that the Supervisory Department doesn't intend to pay attention to these trivial matters, everything will be fine."
The two of them came out today to buy some more Heavenly Demon Blood from Zhou Tian.
Over the past six months, the two of them had collected a lot of blood while on duty, but unfortunately, only a handful of them contained the aura of the void.
Therefore, the two of them made large purchases from Zhou Tian. Thanks to the fact that they had no need for money, they were able to save up all their military merits and concentrate on purchasing a large amount of Heavenly Demon Blood.
Even so, the two of them only collected two strands of qualified void energy.
Generally speaking, a breath of air can protect a person for a month, which is not a short time. However, in the endless void, the distance between the worlds is often extremely far, and it may take several years to travel from one world to another.
When you calculate it this way, these two auras are suddenly not enough.
"Brother Zhou."
"Oh, you're here." Zhou Tian opened the door and saw Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang standing outside. He greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, where did you go recently? I came here several times but didn't see you." Cheng Hui asked as he walked in.
"Hey, something's been going on. I've been busy for a while and I'm exhausted. I finally finished it two days ago." Zhou Tian stretched and said lazily. "But you two, is the Heavenly Demon Blood Essence you bought enough?"
Zhou Tian was a very sensible person and never asked Cheng Hui what the purpose of the demon's blood he bought was.
"It's still a long way to go." Cheng Hui shook his head. According to the current efficiency, if he wanted to explore the void, he would have to accumulate for at least several decades to get enough void energy.
Fortunately, after becoming a cultivator, it is not uncommon to wait for hundreds of years, not to mention decades, for some expensive materials, and the void definitely has this value. Even if the Fountain of Eternal Life cannot be found, any material found will be worth the time.
After wiping out all the demon's blood from Zhou Tian, Cheng Hui was about to go back but was stopped by Zhou Tian.
"What's wrong? Brother Zhou? What's the matter?" he asked.
Zhou Tian gestured for the two to sit down first, then went back to the room to retrieve a booklet.
"Here, Brother Cheng, this is for you. I think you might be able to use it."
"What's this?" Cheng Hui took the paper and saw that it was an invitation. It said that guests were invited to attend a trade fair somewhere outside of Blood Battle City.
Cheng Hui looked at Zhou Tian in confusion. Zhou Tian smiled and said, "This is a trade fair held by those cultivators. It's held once a year and there are many good things there. They will send invitations to merchants in Blood Battle City, inviting them to participate. If you are lucky, you can even buy something good that can prolong your life. Unfortunately... it's too expensive."
Zhou Tian smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that after all my hard work, I could barely be considered wealthy, but after going there, I realized that with my small fortune, I would go bankrupt if I just bought two things."
"What could be so expensive?" Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang looked at each other, both finding it unbelievable.
"They are all good things, the kind that can save lives. Last time I went there, I spent nearly half of my fortune to buy a life-saving talisman." Zhou Tian took out the red rope tied around his neck, and under the red rope was tied a triangle made of talisman paper.
He handed the paper triangle to Cheng Hui. Cheng Hui touched it, ejected a little spiritual power to feel it, and was suddenly speechless.
It’s not wrong to say that this thing is a life-saving talisman.
This talisman paper can automatically activate the defensive effect when the owner is attacked by surprise, or randomly teleport the owner away when the owner suffers a fatal blow.
However, the environment here is not suitable for the use of this talisman paper. The spiritual energy in this world is very inert. It can be transmitted thousands of miles in the world of cultivation, but in this world it can only be transmitted ten or twenty miles. If a cultivator flies on a sword, such a distance will be gone in a flash, and it will not be able to achieve the effect of escaping at all.
Fortunately, there are only martial arts masters here. No matter how good your lightness skills are, you can't reach that speed. Those who can reach that speed are all masters who have broken through the innate level and are comparable to the immortals on earth. Being chased by such a master, even if you can escape this time, you can't escape next time. Then it makes no difference whether you have this talisman paper or not.
"Not bad, right?" Zhou Tian smiled proudly. "Such a thin piece of paper can actually protect me when I'm in danger. It's said that this talisman can even teleport me away if I'm in danger. It's no exaggeration to say it's a life-saving talisman."
"That's right." Cheng Hui nodded.
Talisman paper like this is not rare in the world of cultivation, but considering the environment here, it is not unacceptable to be able to sell such a high-grade one.
"Well, this is a job we do that's on the edge of a knife, so it never hurts to have more life-saving talismans." Zhou Tian said with a smile.
Zhou Tian is also a military leader and he also has to go up the city wall. With such a talisman paper to save his life, his chances of survival can indeed be greatly improved. Even if he uses up half of his wealth, it is not a loss.
"Thank you very much, Brother Zhou." Cheng Hui said.
"Don't be polite. Just one trip costs half my net worth, and I can't afford it this year," Zhou Tian said self-deprecatingly. "Don't waste your money when you get there. There are indeed a lot of good things there, but if you buy them all, your military merit will be wasted. Those cultivators are so elusive, and I don't know what they do all day."
After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Cheng Hui felt something in his heart.
Speaking of which... he has been in Blood Battle City for more than a year, but he has only met a few cultivators.
Although the Blood Battle City is very large and the cultivators rarely come into contact with ordinary military leaders like them, isn’t their number a bit too small?
Every time the Forbidden Demon Battlefield is opened, hundreds of cultivators will come in, plus those who came in in previous years and never left. Where have these cultivators gone?
Not to mention that they are all hiding in the Blood Battle City. There are mostly ordinary military leaders and local natives in the Blood Battle City. The number of cultivators is pitifully small. With so many people, they can't all hide, right?
Could it be that... the cultivators have another gathering place?
Cheng Hui didn't know that he had guessed it right by accident.
His zombie body is quite special, and his sensitivity to the Blood Battle City is not particularly obvious. However, as a cultivator of magic, Lin Qingyang felt a strange suppression the moment he stepped into the Blood Battle City.
This suppression would not harm his body, but if he tried to release that destructive spell in the Blood Battle City, or simply self-destruct, this suppression would be able to suppress the power of the spell or self-destruction to a very small range.
Simply put, this kind of suppression is a defense mechanism to prevent cultivators from being bewitched and coming to the Blood Battle City to cause destruction.
After all, there are all kinds of cultivators entering the Forbidden Demon Battlefield every time. Not to mention the demon cultivators, even among the righteous cultivators, no one can guarantee that there won’t be people with bad character.
The demons tried every possible means to break the blockade of Blood Battle City. Compared with ordinary people who were regarded as food by them, cultivators were obviously qualified to have an "equal" dialogue with them.
In the past, there have been cultivators who were bewitched by the demons, or simply made deals with them, and turned around to attack the human race. If there had not been enough cultivators on the human race to resist at that time, the Blood Battle City might have been broken at that time.
After learning from that lesson, Blood Battle City developed this kind of defense mechanism. Many cultivators were not used to this kind of suppression, so they simply built a separate gathering point and did not live in Blood Battle City.
Later cultivators followed suit, unwilling to endure this kind of suppression that was tantamount to surveillance, and moved to that gathering point. On the contrary, physical cultivators, due to their physical constitution, did not need to endure this kind of surveillance, so there were almost no cultivators in the Blood Battle City.
Lin Qingyang did not tell Cheng Hui about this. He was not under much pressure anyway, so he simply did not let Cheng Hui worry about him.
This suppression will only become obvious when he tries to use his magic power. If he doesn't use his magic power normally, he can hardly feel it.
People with strong spirits are so fearless!
