Beijing General Bureau, Conference Room.
As soon as the department leaders entered, they saw that Director Zhang and Old Huo looked serious and had their brows furrowed.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that something big was about to happen.
After everyone was seated, Director Zhang spoke up: "Old Huo cast the divination again yesterday, and the result was very bad. It's probably because the Demon King is about to appear, and the secrets of heaven have been blocked."
It's impossible to predict when it will arrive; it could be tomorrow, or it could already be in the capital. It's all hard to say.
This meeting serves as a reminder to all departments to prepare contingency plans and to be vigilant for any suspicious activity within the capital, ensuring timely reporting.
At this point, Director Zhang paused and looked at Du Fuwei, "Haven't you found Captain Xia yet?"
Du Fuwei's brows were furrowed, and his face was dark, marked by the sun and wind.
“I have searched the whole country, but there are no clues. He and that floating city seem to have disappeared suddenly.”
Tens of thousands of people also disappeared, including our liaison personnel, who also lost contact. However, the people Captain Xia left behind to manage the cities are still there, and they are completely unaware of this.
It can be basically concluded that Xia Tianqiong did not leave intentionally, but was probably accidentally involved in some strange event and has not yet extricated herself.
Du Fuwei's words startled everyone present. The quiet conference room was suddenly filled with whispers, and everyone looked worried and frowning.
According to Elder Huo's calculations, only if Xia Tianqiong comes to the capital will there be a glimmer of hope.
If he doesn't come, the capital will surely be destroyed.
But now we can't even find him, so how can we count on him?
Director Zhang tapped the table twice to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Keep searching if you can't find it. Captain Xia will definitely be here soon. Now, let's report on the recent situation in the capital."
So each department began to report according to the usual procedures.
"In the past week, we have handled 3,452 strange incidents, a decrease of 6% compared to last week. However, the number of casualties and missing persons has not decreased, but has increased by 4%, mainly due to a sudden increase in the number of missing persons."
"The level of strange occurrences has recently decreased, with fewer and fewer fierce and malevolent ghosts, which is somewhat unusual."
"Several cases of missing persons have occurred in Changhe District. The cause of the disappearances has not yet been determined. The Tianlong Legion's special forces team has taken over the case and is currently investigating."
"Environmental monitoring departments have discovered that the concentration of Netherworld energy is increasing rapidly, faster than expected."
...
While the Imperial Capital General Bureau was holding a meeting, the Tree Demon Clan's base, far away in the Demon Realm, was also holding a meeting.
Interestingly, the meeting's discussion also touched upon Xia Tianqiong.
When Xia Tianqiong left the Tree Spirit Clan's territory, she took all the Tree Spirits and valuables with her. When the Silver Fir Clan elder returned with his team, they found only a scene of devastation.
Now, several months later, it's surprisingly lively.
In this dense jungle, there are even more tree monsters than before, and you can also see many ghostly wolves running through the forest.
After the sacred tree was taken away, it left a large pit. It has now been filled in and a new palace has been built on it.
Inside the palace, more than twenty figures gathered, half of them Tree Ghosts and the other half Netherworld Wolves and Void Ghosts.
Moreover, they were all cunning generals.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan looked around, quite pleased with himself; these were all the allies he had won over the past few months.
When he looked at the Void Race members opposite him, he was filled with arrogance.
"Friends of the Void Clan, how many of your people have you gathered?"
After the last great war between the two races, the Void Ghost Clan, to which the Leng family belonged, was almost wiped out, but some of them escaped.
Fearing extermination by the Tree Clan, these Void Creatures contacted their scattered branches in various places, attempting to band together for mutual support.
Little did anyone know that the Silver Fir Clan was driven mad by Xia Tianqiong and took the lead in integrating the Tree Ghost Clan, forcibly bringing together all the branches of the Tree Ghost Clan.
Then, with an even stronger force, they hunted down the Voidfolk everywhere.
The Void Clan was far fewer in number than the Tree Clan, but they were good at escaping and were fine at first. However, the Tree Clan somehow got involved with the Netherworld Wolf Clan, and the situation changed from then on.
The Netherworld Wolves are not only skilled at tracking and locating, but also incredibly fast. With their help, the Void Clan had nowhere to escape or hide, and ultimately, they were forced to negotiate a solution.
Actually, the Silver Fir Clan Elder didn't want to annihilate them, but rather to recruit them and then go to the human world together to settle scores with Xia Tianqiong.
With the mediation of the Netherworld Hungry Wolf Clan, the two clans temporarily formed an alliance to jointly invade the human world and deal with Xia Tianqiong.
Today's meeting is the final preparation before departure.
In response to the question from the Silver Fir Clan elder, a Void Ghost Clan general stepped forward to answer, "All the branch settlements that could be contacted have gathered here, totaling more than 3,200 clansmen, five Ghost Generals, and twelve Fierce Ghosts."
The Silver Fir elder frowned, feeling that the number was rather small, far less than their Tree Ghost Clan's more than ten thousand members.
However, this is understandable, as the Void Race members are individually very strong, but their numbers are relatively small.
He turned to look at a giant white wolf beside him, and immediately became much more polite, "How many troops does your Hungry Wolf clan plan to send?"
The giant white wolf, lying there, was much taller than everyone present.
His voice was even more gruff and loud, “Our clan has dispatched 5,000 soldiers, including eight cunning generals and seventeen fierce cunning warriors.”
The Netherworld Hungry Wolves are considered a relatively powerful race in the Ghost Realm, with a large population, stronger than the Tree Ghost Clan and the Void Ghost Clan. Only a small portion of them came this time.
The Silver Fir elder immediately beamed with satisfaction at the number of Netherworld Hungry Wolves.
He surveyed the entire scene once more and declared emphatically, "We have two purposes for entering the human world this time. First, to seek revenge on Xia Tianqiong and reclaim our clan's sacred tree. Second, to divide up the human world, plunder humans, and keep them as our food and sustenance."
