Chapter 487 The Storm Is Brewing
Dongxia, Martial Arts Association.
On the viewing platform built against the mountain, the Third Divine Enemy stood by the railing, with the Deputy Minister of the Law Enforcement Department and Xue Hengchuan, the Minister of the Execution Department, behind him.
Zhuo Donglai, the head of the law enforcement department, is currently under quarantine for investigation because he had dealings with Qu Jingxuan and was one of the people with the authority to enter Fengdu Prison.
The current enforcement department is temporarily led by Deputy Minister Lin Cangdong, who has been confirmed to be free of suspicion.
"The mission to Japan sent a message that the sun and moon appeared in the sky above the Iron Continent of Japan. Although the specifics are unknown, according to information obtained afterward, the Japanese sword saint Tsukahara Shin'emon died, and Saiō was captured for treason. There should be a powerful figure behind Japan."
Xue Hengchuan, dressed in a black uniform, paused for a moment after reporting the news, and then said, "That powerful figure may be related to Bai Ze, and is very likely a martial artist from our Dongxia."
The delegation also truthfully reported that Mu Yaoguang had left the delegation and entered the Steel Continent ahead of schedule.
Furthermore, Mu Yaoguang's mysterious movements over the next two days made it hard not to speculate.
While it's not quite certain that the person is Bai Ze, there's at least a good chance that he's connected to Bai Ze.
It's highly likely that a senior figure from Dongxia intervened, and that he had even practiced the "Sun and Moon Hanging Phenomena Chapter" from the *Cantongqi*.
.
"The Enforcement Department has compiled a list of all martial artists who have cultivated the 'Sun and Moon Phenomena Manual' and is currently conducting a covert investigation."
Lin Cangdong, on the other hand, looked every bit the law enforcement machine, with a square face and a solemn expression. He projected a list and was about to read out the names.
The Third Divine Enemy's vision was taken away by the Great Freedom; not only did his physical eyesight disappear, but he also lost all mental perception.
The concept of vision has completely disappeared from him; he can no longer "see".
Although relying on his spiritual senses, the Third Enemy appears no different from a normal person, but he can no longer do some simple things, such as seeing words.
This is the terror of complete freedom.
As the first evil god to make contact with Earth, he gained a tremendous first-mover advantage. Moreover, at that time, martial arts were just beginning, and the first divine enemy would not appear for several years. Great Freedom was virtually unstoppable.
It was precisely for this reason that during the third campaign to subdue demons, the three divine enemies of Dongxia spared no effort to take action and were determined to annihilate Da Zizai.
"Since it originated from Dongxia, we don't need to worry about it for now."
The Third Divine Enemy gently raised his hand, indicating to Lin Cangdong that there was no need to read the list. "The Martial Arts Association has made quite a few mistakes in recent years. It is understandable that some people are dissatisfied and act on their own."
"But that's related to Bai Ze, and it might also be related to that mysterious person who killed several people from the Social Security Bureau..." Lin Cangdong hesitated.
The third divine enemy slightly turned his head, as if glancing at Lin Cangdong.
Although his eyes were closed and his gaze was not visible, Lin Cangdong immediately stopped speaking.
"Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity," the Third Divine Enemy said in a deep voice.
There is currently no conclusive evidence to prove that the person is related to Bai Ze, or even that he is Bai Ze.
Therefore, suspicion is just suspicion, not fact.
With the Social Security Bureau and the Law Enforcement Department both implicated in scandals, Dongxia is already in turmoil and cannot afford any further mishaps.
"The more crucial thing now is to catch those traitors and, following the clues, eradicate the root of the problem."
The Third Divine Enemy asked, "How far have things progressed in the Executive Department's pursuit of those traitors?"
After the incident at Fengdu Prison was exposed, those with relevant authority were isolated and investigated, and the Third Divine Enemy personally took charge of the investigation.
Under intense scrutiny, a number of clues were indeed found, and some suspects were apprehended.
However, those who practiced the "Northern Emperor's Black Law" were scattered throughout the provinces of Dongxia, and the traitors among them would not be concentrated in one place. Many people were captured, but some others had already smuggled themselves out of Dongxia and fled to India.
With great freedom, even if one wanted to suppress news of an arrest, it would be impossible.
"With the help of our compatriots in India, we captured fifty-seven escaped traitors. Of the remaining twenty-seven, seventeen were intentionally released, and the other ten had already escaped into the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Xue Hengchuan's expression was grave. "They are all martial artists of the seventh star or above, one of whom is an eighth star. They are also very familiar with us and know our modus operandi."
"They've all fled into the Mountain and Sea Realm. Is the Great Freedom Demonic Sect's lair also in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
The Third Divine Enemy muttered to himself, "Continue the pursuit. Zhang Xiaotian will also come to support you from the Mountain and Sea Realm front. Make sure you find their stronghold."
"Yes," Xue Hengchuan replied immediately.
"The enforcement department continues its internal investigation and cooperates with the council's review."
The third enemy then "looked" at Lin Cangdong, "After this storm is over, past cases must be retried. We cannot allow people to suffer injustice."
In fact, if it weren't for the third divine enemy suppressing them, these legal machines would have exploded on their own, starting to review past cases and check if anyone had made an unfair judgment.
In that case, the betrayal of the cultivators of the "Northern Emperor's Black Law," which is currently known only to a few, will be made public, causing chaos throughout the entire Eastern Xia.
In other words, the third divine enemy has the prestige to temporarily suppress this thunder, waiting for the storm to pass before conducting a retrial.
Even if the current law enforcement system eventually collapses, they must stand firm in their posts for the last period of time.
"Yes." Lin Cangdong nodded in a deep voice.
"Get to work."
The Third Divine Enemy waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.
Afterwards, when there was no one around, he sighed wearily and went inside the building.
Inside the room connected to the viewing platform, there are two huge jade mirrors.
When the third divine enemy arrived, both mirrors flickered with an uncertain light, which gradually stabilized.
Then, two figures appeared on the jade mirror.
"It seems the situation is very bad."
The figure on the right was only outlined, yet it exuded an immense aura of power. The mere existence of its outline was enough to overwhelm the jade mirror.
Without a doubt, the only one capable of possessing such power, whose mere silhouette could overwhelm the specially crafted jade mirror, was none other than the "Number One Powerful Military God," Pei Dongliu.
As for the figure on the other side, the one who could be ranked alongside Pei Dongliu was naturally also a divine enemy.
—For many years I have been tracking the first divine enemy of the Great Freedom.
He seemed to notice the weariness on the Third Divine Enemy's face and said, "Should I go back?"
"The situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm is even more critical."
The Third Divine Enemy shook his head and said, "The God of the Mortal Realm has been keeping an eye on the Undying Volcano. If you leave, he will definitely make a move. There lies the hope for the birth of the fourth Divine Enemy in Dongxia. We cannot let him succeed."
As he spoke, the third enemy "looked" at the mirror on the left.
The reflection above was even more blurry, and it even flickered from time to time, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
The figure above pondered for a moment, then said, "I can extricate myself, but I don't know if this is also part of Da Zizai's plan. Besides, the distance is too far; it would take at least several months to return."
The First Divine Enemy has been tracking Great Freedom, attempting to eradicate it completely.
Looking at the past two decades, the results have been remarkable. The Great Freedom Sect has been so thoroughly pursued that it has been unable to interfere with Earth, and the Great Freedom Demonic Sect and its other branches have all fallen into obscurity.
But after Mu Yaoguang was attacked, Da Zizai made a comeback.
Now that the Great Freedom is frequently appearing, it seems that the pursuit of the First Divine Enemy has become ineffective.
However, this could very well be part of the Great Freedom's calculations.
His frequent appearances are meant to entice the First Divine Enemy to abandon the pursuit. Perhaps the return of the First Divine Enemy is what the Great Freedom desires.
Moreover, even if he returns, it will be difficult for him to return to Earth in a short period of time.
"It's been too long."
The Third Divine Enemy said, "Fine, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to the Mountain and Sea Realm myself."
Although he has not yet recovered from his injuries, as a divine enemy, dealing with some Heavenly Gate warriors is still a piece of cake.
The only concern is being attacked by other divine enemies.
Evil gods from the spirit realm are unlikely to descend upon the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the giant beasts within the Mountain and Sea Realm may not necessarily target the third divine enemy.
Only the enemies of other nations might seize the opportunity to eliminate powerful adversaries.
I'm talking about you, the Shinra Empire, the so-called troublemaker.
As for the Western Alliance's earthly god, he is being watched over by the God of War.
These two have been at odds with each other for so many years that they know each other intimately. Moreover, the God of the Mortal Realm also covets the opportunity within the Undying Volcano and will not leave unless absolutely necessary.
"It might not even reach the point where a divine enemy would intervene."
The God of War said, "Our purges against the Great Freedom Demonic Sect over the years haven't been in vain. If we hadn't managed to break their spirit after all these years, the three of us might as well have hanged ourselves from a crooked tree."
"Ha~" Upon hearing this, the Third Divine Enemy couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's for the best."
At this point, the image on the jade mirror began to flicker, clearly indicating that the communication was nearing its limit.
Seeing this, the First Divine Enemy said no more and hurriedly said, "Time's almost up, let's call it a day. Qingyang, protect Dongxia."
"I will," Shang Qingyang, the third divine enemy, nodded.
The call ended there, and the image on the jade mirror flickered and disappeared.
The third enemy stood in front of the mirror for a while, then raised his hand, tapped the communicator, and sent a voice message.
"Send Cheng Peng to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Since Dongxia has him, Yun Chengwanlipeng, this firefighting expert, doesn't need to be deployed for the time being.
However, letting him rest like this is not a good idea.
At this turbulent time, how can you, Cheng Peng, the most mobile martial artist in the Heavenly Gate, possibly take a break?
Hurry up and go to the Mountain and Sea Realm to continue putting out the fire.
"Let Tiangong Daoman accompany me to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Inside the palace of the Imperial Palace of Ying Kingdom, Bai Ze addressed the kneeling crowd in this manner.
He has decided to go to the "Water and Sky in One Color" of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and Tiangong Daoman is the most suitable person to accompany him.
Tian Gong Dao Man's innate supernatural power is to transform his own true essence into talismans and implant them into living or non-living bodies for control.
He used this to control those modified creatures, turning them into shikigami to be at his beck and call.
In order to successfully control the shikigami, Tengu Doman frequently traveled to the Mountain and Sea Realm and was quite familiar with it. Furthermore, he was a student of Koshcher and had dealt with the Eternal Life Order quite a bit, so he was considered an acquaintance.
"Yes."
The people who were being controlled naturally had no objections and could only obey wholeheartedly.
Thus, Tengu Doman followed Bai Ze to the Mountain and Sea Realm, while Kamiizumi Muneshige led the members of the King's Guardians to the Buddhist Kingdom.
.....
...
Amakusa Genjuro and Chiba Shusuke were in charge on the surface, while Lu Qiuhuo was watching over things in secret. Luo Shu and Nanba Heavy Industries' spirit machines were in charge of controlling the overall situation and coordinating the Ying Kingdom's nobles.
If necessary, Bai Ze can also descend through the Luo River to take control of the situation and launch a final measure.
Launch a fusion strike.
As for Mu Yaoguang, she was going to return to Dongxia to keep an eye on the changing situation there.
"My lord, King Sai previously dispatched secret ninjas from the Imperial Household Agency, loyal to the royal family, to establish influence in India and secretly train ninjas."
Amamiya Doman suggested, "Although the leader and elites of the Secret Ninja are dead, their power remains. Perhaps we can use them to make use of the Indians as pawns."
"The leader of the secret ninja?"
Bai Ze thought for a moment and recalled the old monkey ninja who had attacked him together with Tengu Doman when the Sword Saint of the Homeland launched his fatal blow.
So he was the so-called leader of the secret ninjas. Bai Ze thought he was some kind of speed bump.
The ninja who looked like an old monkey was crushed by the gravitational field. If Bai Ze hadn't had a photographic memory, he might not have even remembered him.
Thinking about it now, that old monkey wasn't actually that weak; it must have been at least an eight-star.
He's just too old and too fragile, lacking the vitality an eight-star martial artist should have. An eight-star martial artist should have a lifespan of at least three hundred years.
To date, no eight-star martial artist has died of old age on Earth.
As for the people of Sanskrit and Indian descent, they are probably the most numerous in the world of Shan Hai now.
Whether they are alive or dead.
Because the spatial passage was blocked, a large number of people from the Sanskrit-Indian region were stranded in the Mountain and Sea Realm. It was even rumored that some people from the Sanskrit-Indian region had deliberately infiltrated the Mountain and Sea Realm under these circumstances.
They believed that the Dongxia people blocked the spatial passage in order to prevent the Fanzhu people from entering the Shanhai Realm and helping the Shenluo people to deal with the Dongxia.
The situation between the Eastern Xia and the Holy Roman Empire is tense, and they have even begun to clash, a fact that is now known to the Indians.
Their thought processes are rather peculiar, and their thinking is quite unconventional.
It even explained why the space passage was blocked first, before the two countries clashed.
They must have been afraid of the powerful Indians and cut off the Holy Roman Empire's reinforcements first.
"Hmm... use the Indians as pawns?" Bai Ze was a little apprehensive.
Is it too risky to be teammates with the Indians?
Even if it's just a teammate being used.
Forget it, let's just use the "words become law" control.
Knowing that his words would become law, Bai Ze felt relieved.
No matter how peculiar the thought processes of the Indians are, Bai Ze can always bring them back to their senses with his words.
If we remove the factors that make them eccentric, the Indians still have some value.
As is well known, once a Sanskrit person is discovered, a whole bunch of Sanskrit people will be brought over; their greatest advantage is their sheer numbers.
"I'll leave this to you," Bai Ze said.
"Yes," Tengu Doman replied loudly.
