Chapter 116: The Third World: The Sixth-Rank Divine Sea, Inspector of the Demon Suppression Division

Qingyun County.

Just as Lu Yuan was practicing in seclusion.

The news of Wu Yong's disappearance spread like wildfire and was quickly known by all forces.

As the magistrate of Qingyun County, he was in charge of many affairs, and his every move would attract countless people's attention.

But as Wu Yong did not show up for several days in a row, many people noticed something was wrong!

"The county lord would collect monthly fees from wealthy businessmen every first day of the month, but why haven't we seen him these days?"

"I heard that the county lord's house was robbed, several houses were scraped three feet from the ground, and even the antique calligraphy and paintings in the bedroom were emptied!"

"Hiss! Who is so bold? How dare they set their sights on the county lord?"

When everyone heard the news, their expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but gasp.

Wu Yong has been operating in Qingyun County for so many years, and with the support of many demons in Black Wind Ridge, he can even be called a local emperor in Qingyun County.

Not to mention ordinary thieves, even many big thieves dare not act rashly!

"I don't think it's a robbery, but more like a house raid! Did the Lord of the Demon Suppression Division take action?"

"Wu Yong, that damned bastard, has always oppressed the people, and he deserves to be raided this time!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, dare to discuss the court officials, do you want to die?"

All the people were silent when they mentioned this matter, and dared not say more.

But paper cannot cover the truth.

As time went by, Wu Yong did not show up, and now even ordinary people knew that he was probably in danger.

Da Ling Dynasty, Qingzhou, Nanyang Prefecture.

Although Nanyang Prefecture is located in the border area, it has a very large area, with more than 30 counties under its jurisdiction and a population of tens of millions.

And Nanyang City, as the most prosperous and lively place within a radius of 100 miles, is also the location of the Demon Suppression Division branch!

At this time in the brightly lit hall.

A burly, silver-haired old man wearing a black cloak stood with his hands behind his back, and his tiger eyes scanned the crowd back and forth.

The old man was imposing without anger. Although he was over seventy years old, his eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle.

He looked like an eagle and a wolf.

Anyone who was glanced at by him felt as if a knife cut his face!

He just stood there, and there was an iron-blooded momentum that had been on the battlefield for many years, which made everyone's heart jump and even breathing became a little difficult!

The other members of the Demon Suppression Division were separated on both sides of the hall.

Each of them had a long sword on his waist, and his temperament was extraordinary.

All of them had strong and majestic true energy, and obviously had excellent martial arts skills!

However, this group of unruly people did not even dare to breathe in front of the old man, for fear of attracting his attention and dissatisfaction!

"General Zhang has gone to the imperial city to report on his work. During his absence, I will temporarily take over the Nanyang Demon Suppression Division. Do you have any objections?"

The silver-haired old man spoke with full energy, like rolling thunder, making everyone's ears buzz.

"It is a blessing for the people of Nanyang Prefecture to have the inspector in charge during this period."

Everyone's face was delighted.

You should know that this old man is called Sikong Lie. Not only is his strength unfathomable, but he is also an inspector from the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. His official position is two levels higher than their immediate superior!

Sikong Lie's main responsibility is to inspect various prefectures and take charge of one side.

It is difficult for ordinary members of the Demon Suppression Division to see him.

Such a terrifying existence standing at the top of martial arts.

Anyone who can be instructed by him in a few words is enough to benefit everyone for a lifetime!

So everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was ecstatic, wishing that their immediate superior would stay in the imperial city and not come back.

"I will stay in Nanyang Prefecture during this period. If you have any important matters, you can report to me."

Sikong Lie looked around at everyone and said lightly.

"Report to the inspector, the demon problem in Nanyang Prefecture has become increasingly serious recently. We are short of manpower and urgently need fresh blood!"

"Please order us to draw good hands from various counties and train them as the reserve force of the Demon Suppression Division."

A member of the Demon Suppression Division clasped his hands and said respectfully.

"Approved!"

"Inspector, the spy in Qingyun County sent a secret report that the local county lord Wu Yong suddenly disappeared and his life and death are unknown. Should we investigate this matter?"

"The county lord is the parent official of the place. How could he disappear inexplicably? Give me his file!"

Sikong Lie frowned slightly.

As the inspector of the Demon Suppression Division, the people he interacted with were all county governors or provincial governors.

If it were any other time.

A small county lord would naturally not be in his eyes.

But he should do his job.

Now that he is temporarily in charge of the Nanyang Demon Suppression Division, he still has to ask about this matter.

"Inspector, this..."

When they heard that Sikong Lie wanted to see Wu Yong's file, everyone looked at each other, hesitating and unable to speak for a long time.

The spies and spies of the Demon Suppression Department are all over the Daling Dynasty.

Whenever there is any disturbance, they can get the news at the first time.

As Wu Yong, as the county lord of Qingyun, colluded with demons, they naturally knew about it.

But the Nanyang Demon Suppression Department is short of manpower, and there are demons making trouble every year.

They are lucky to keep Nanyang City peaceful.

As for the more than 30 counties under the Nanyang Prefecture, they are really out of reach.

As long as those county lords do not do too much, they can only turn a blind eye.

As the inspector of the Demon Suppression Department, Sikong Lie usually only deals with some big demons and magic martial artists who often massacre counties and cities.

For these little things, they rarely pay attention.

But some things are not even half a pound if they are not weighed, but if they are weighed, they can't be weighed!

With the strong and irritable character of this inspector, if he knew these things, the consequences would be disastrous...

Everyone felt cold all over just imagining that scene, and felt a sense of impending disaster!

Seeing everyone hesitating, Sikong Lie felt more and more that there was something fishy about this matter.

Under his order.

A member of the Demon Suppression Division had to bite the bullet and hand over a file.

When Sikong Lie opened the file and saw Wu Yong's countless crimes, he was so angry that his face turned pale and even his fingers were shaking!

"As a local official, he should benefit the people. I didn't expect that this person not only took human lives lightly and extorted people's money, but also dared to secretly collude with demons?"

"What on earth do you Nanyang Demon Suppression Division do? Are you all a bunch of rubbish? How could you let such a disaster remain until now?"

Sikong Lie's tiger eyes were about to spit fire, and he scolded everyone!

At the same time, he wanted to arrest Wu Yong immediately, and then cut him into pieces in public and execute him by slow slicing!

But he understood.

Demons and demons are in troubled times, and evil spirits are rampant.

A foolish county magistrate like Wu Yong is just a minor problem. The real source of the disaster lies within the Great Spirit Dynasty!

Thinking of this.

Sikong Lie sighed heavily.

Even though he was a sixth-grade Shenhai Realm expert, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in his heart at this moment.

"Sir Inspector, Wu Yong has been missing for several days. What do you mean..."

After he calmed down a little, a member of the Demon Suppression Division asked cautiously.

"No matter what, Wu Yong is a registered official of the court. He disappeared without a reason, and there must be an explanation for this!"

"And Black Wind Ridge has become a place where demons are entrenched. It must be cleared as soon as possible!"

"It's just a thousand-year-old tree demon. How dare you follow the scum of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and declare yourself the king?"

"If you, the Nanyang Demon Suppression Division, can't solve it, I will go there myself!"
