Chapter 41: Demon Suppression Division
"It's time to deal with the Demon Suppression Bureau." Zhou An said.
“Your Majesty, the Demon Suppression Division has always relied on its relationship with the immortal sects and has not taken the country seriously. They should be punished.
However, when Emperor Taizu conquered the country, the country was still in chaos, with demons everywhere and evil ways rampant. In order to ensure national stability, he visited various factions and asked them to send people to suppress the demons and evil spirits. This is how the Demon Suppression Bureau was established.
In order to get each faction to send out personnel, they were given special privileges. The Demon Suppression Division only needed to eliminate the demons that wreaked havoc on the human world and did not accept the emperor's orders to dispatch them. "The queen frowned, she was somewhat helpless with the Demon Suppression Division.
"The Demon Suppression Bureau has now become a cancer in the country. This time they attacked the imperial concubine. What should be done according to Qianyuan law?" Zhou An asked.
The queen's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood Zhou An's meaning and said, "Attacking the royal family and imprisoning the imperial concubine's followers should be executed."
"You go and prepare and wait for the opportunity. I want to rebuild the Demon Suppression Bureau. This Qianyuan Military Talisman was given to me by Taizu for self-defense. Now that the Queen is dealing with state affairs, she needs to protect her own safety, so I will give this treasure to you." Zhou An said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Queen bowed and glanced at Zhou An. She felt that this time when he came back, Zhou An gave her an unfathomable feeling, which made her feel awe. This feeling was not so strong even when she was facing the Queen Mother.
“What on earth did the Emperor Taizu do to him to cause such a drastic change in him?” The Queen was secretly surprised, but did not show it on her face.
She said goodbye and went back to prepare.
Hua Wu Yue and Zhou Lingsha quickly flew to the Demon Suppression Bureau, which had been surrounded by the Jinyiwei. As soon as they arrived, they saw a commander of the Jinyiwei lying on the ground seriously injured, and several other Jinyiwei were also seriously injured next to him.
Zhou Lingsha was furious when she saw this and rushed forward and shouted, "Who did it?"
"Commander-in-chief, the Demon Suppression Division has gone too far. They don't allow us to get close. Relying on their magic weapons, they severely injured Commander Han." A female Jinyiwei who had a good relationship with Zhou Lingsha immediately stepped forward to salute and said angrily.
"Hmph, this Qianyuan Empire is really deserted. The emperor is incompetent and lets the empress attend court. Now a half-grown kid comes as the commander-in-chief? What a joke!" A middle-aged man stood at the door of the Demon Suppression Bureau with his hands behind his back, a look of contempt on his face.
"How dare you! Don't forget that the Demon Suppression Bureau is also a department of the Qianyuan Empire. Do you know the consequences of slandering the emperor like this?" Zhou Lingsha glared at the other party and shouted.
"Consequences? What kind of place is the Demon Suppression Bureau? Not to mention this incompetent emperor, even if Emperor Qianyuan came in person, he would have to show some courtesy. This time it was the Jinyiwei who came to ask for a fight. Tell me, what will be the consequences?" The middle-aged man stood at the door arrogantly, with eight demon hunters standing behind him, all with disdain on their faces.
Hua Wu Yue was angry. If she didn’t want to make things difficult for Zhou An, she would have taken action directly.
"Lingsha, do whatever you want. These people are just a bunch of clowns who can be taken down at any time."
After getting Hua Wuyue's confirmation, Zhou Lingsha showed joy and immediately said: "According to Qianyuan Law, Zhang Xiantong, the leader of the demon hunters of the Demon Suppression Division, slandered the emperor, defied the emperor's authority, attacked the Jinyiwei, and arrested the imperial concubine's disciples. He should be executed.
Jinyiwei, listen to the order and follow the imperial concubine to capture the demon hunter and Zhang Xiantong who just took action, and wait for their punishment."
"Hua Wu Yue!" Zhang Xiantong was surprised. He was only paying attention to Zhou Lingsha, the Tenth Princess, and did not see Hua Wu Yue in the crowd.
Hua Wu Yue stepped forward and shouted coldly: "Release my Bai Hua disciples, and I will spare your life."
"Hmph, Baihua Valley has been destroyed. What can you, Hua Wu Yue, do to me? No! You are Hua Ling, and you actually became the imperial concubine. You are so bold to commit such a heinous crime. Haha, Baihua Valley is really unrepentant. It seems that we don't need to do anything. The righteous path will not tolerate you." Zhang Xiantong laughed after being surprised.
Hua Wu Yue showed an angry look and raised her right hand. The Wanhua Xuanguan Flying Sword flew out from her palm, and a column of sword light with thousands of flowers flowing appeared.
The Mysterious Wanhua Sword is very famous in the world of immortal cultivation. Back then, the Fairy Baihua relied on this sword to become one of the top powers, and even demons did not dare to appear in front of her.
Of course Zhang Xiantong recognized this magic sword, and his face changed drastically when he saw it.
"Hua Wu Yue, I am the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, how dare you!"
Hua Wu Yue pointed his palm directly at them, and the sword light of Ten Thousand Flowers rushed out. Eight demon hunters stepped forward, formed seals with their hands, and the treasures on their waists flew out and turned into talisman shields to block in front of them.
However, when they encountered the Wanhua Sword Light, these talisman shields that were specially designed to deal with monsters were instantly pierced, and the eight people were ejected at the same time and flew backwards onto the stairs.
If Hua Wu Yue had not intended to kill anyone, these eight people would have been chopped into pieces by the Wanhua Sword Light.
Zhang Xiantong panicked and pointed his sword. The heavy flying sword on his back was unsheathed and flew out. A curse mark appeared on the sword and emitted lightning.
But as soon as the flying sword took off, Hua Wu Yue swung it casually, and the Hundred Flowers Sword Light cut it into more than ten pieces and dropped it to the ground.
Zhang Xiantong's face turned green with heartache. Just as he was about to curse, a sword light with millions of petals came towards him.
He quickly knelt down and cried, "Princess, spare my life."
At this time, the petals stopped, and each petal emitted a sword light, only a few centimeters away from Zhang Xiantong's skin. If he was a little slower, he would definitely be turned into minced meat.
Zhang Xiantong was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat. He knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground and dared not move.
Hua Wu Yue waved her hand, and thousands of petals retracted into her palm and disappeared. The purple guards were all stunned. Zhou Lingsha immediately shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Capture them."
"Yes." This time, the Jinyiwei shouted with great confidence and in a loud voice. They rushed forward and locked up the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau with iron chains.
Hua Wu Yue took the lead and walked into the hall of the Demon Suppression Bureau. All the demon hunters inside had already lined up. The other two commanders here also came out and looked at Hua Wu Yue nervously.
When the magic sword appeared, Zhang Xiantong had no ability to resist, which made them realize that Hua Wu Yue was definitely not someone they could contend with.
“Hua Wu Yue, you dare to attack the Demon Suppression Bureau? You should know that our Demon Suppression Bureau is a joint venture of various righteous sects. If you dare to attack us, you will be an enemy of the Qianyuan righteous sect.” A commander shouted loudly, with obvious fear in his eyes.
"The Baihua Valley is now renamed the Baihua Palace and belongs to the emperor. You have arrested disciples of the Baihua Palace without reason, insulted the emperor, and severely injured the Jinyiwei. You have committed serious crimes. Even if the righteous sects knew about it, so what? Will they become enemies with the entire Qianyuan Empire for you? Who has the courage to kill millions of Qianyuan soldiers? " Hua Wu Yue asked loudly.
The two commanders didn't know what to say. At this moment, the leaders of the three factions who were involved in this matter hiding in the back were all sweating profusely.
“Hua Wu Yue, do you know that humans and demons are different? After you commit such a sinful act, no emperor can save you.” A man in a gray robe flew down from the hall, stroked his gray beard and said.
"My marriage with the emperor is predestined by heaven. The leaders of the Zhengyi Sect, the Jian Sect, and the Tiandao Sect all know about this. If it weren't for the Zui Dao Ren's introduction, I would never have the chance to meet the emperor. Does Brother Zhu Dao Ren have anything else to say?" Hua Wu Yue said.
Zhu Zihai was surprised to hear this. The excuse he had to attack her was suddenly gone, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Release our disciples immediately, and don't blame me for killing them without considering our fellow sect members' friendship." Hua Wu Yue raised his hand, and the Wanhua Xuanguan Immortal Sword rushed out. The sword light shot up into the sky, and the Demon Suppression Bureau building was directly pierced through by the sword light. The protective formation was penetrated by one blow. The demon hunters were horrified by the power of the sword.
Zhu Zihai's face trembled, and he tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart. He was full of jealousy when he saw the Wanhua Xuanguan Immortal Sword in Hua Wu Yue's hand.
"This is just a misunderstanding. Release the disciples from Baihua Valley." Zhu Zihai waved his hand helplessly and let them go.
After a while, the disciples of Baihua Valley were released. When they saw Hua Wu Yue, they were all delighted and ran over to call her "Senior Sister".
Hua Wu Yue asked: "How is everyone now? Are you injured?"
"Big Sister, it's okay, we are just locked up here. But they are really abominable. They framed us, saying that we sucked the essence of ordinary people, and they arrested us without even checking the details." Yingchun complained angrily.
Zhu Zihai smiled helplessly and said, "It was the people below who believed the slander and made the mistake. I apologize to you all here and will definitely compensate you for your losses."
Hua Wu Yue looked at Zhou Lingsha and asked her what she meant, as she did not understand the laws of the country.
Zhou Lingsha waved her hand and said, "The emperor is very angry about this matter and has ordered a thorough investigation. Commander Zhu should be prepared when the time comes. I will take Zhang Xiantong and the eight demon hunters back to the emperor first."
Zhu Zihai was so angry that his face changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "We have already released the people. Why are you still arresting them? Don't forget that the Demon Suppression Division does not accept the emperor's orders."
"Yes, the Demon Suppression Division can disobey the emperor's edict, but it does not say that they can break the law knowingly, insult the emperor in public, defy the law, and injure the Imperial Guards. The emperor has the final say on this matter. Commander Zhu is not planning to confront the emperor head-on, right? This is treason, and the nine generations of the clan must be executed!" Zhou Lingsha said with a smile.
"I dare not. I beg the commander-in-chief to show mercy and say a few good words to the emperor. I will repay you." Zhu Zihai had to bow his head. In the past, there were no cultivators in the royal family, so they could do whatever they wanted and the emperor did not dare to do anything to them.
But now Hua Wu Yue is here, and he will kill them like pigs and dogs, so they have no choice but to bow their heads.
As they watched the Embroidered Uniform Guards take Zhang Xiantong and others away, the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau dared to be angry but not to say anything.
After they left, Zhu Zihai waved his sleeves and went back to the back hall.
As soon as he came in, the leaders of the three small sects and several disciples stood up, all with worried looks on their faces.
"Commander Zhu, what should we do now? Hua Wu Yue is on the emperor's side. If this matter is investigated further, we will all be doomed."
"That's right, it's a fairy treasure. Plus, Hua Wu Yue's cultivation seems to be quite high. I'm afraid even if the three of us join forces, we won't be able to defeat him."
Zhu Zihai sat down and thought for a while, then glanced at the people here and said, "Hua Wu Yue cannot be kept. Whether we can get rid of her depends on you."
"We?" People from the three factions frowned. A Zhu Zihai wanted them to be the first to take action.
"Hua Wu Yue is a demon. Marrying the emperor is against the will of heaven. Regardless of whether it is a destined marriage or not, small and medium-sized sects do not have the ability to spy on the secrets of heaven. So if you can unite the small and medium-sized sects and use the excuse of violating the will of heaven, you will not have to worry about Hua Wu Yue's death.
Even if Hua Wu Yue has a magic sword, can she fight against all the sects in the world? If the emperor wants his own kingdom, he will never dare to compete with the sects. "Zhu Zihai said with a smile.
"What a good idea! Many sects are gathering in Qianjing right now. Let's contact them and spread the news. I want the emperor to apologize publicly and make him lose face."
These people all looked happy and left through the back door.
