Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 115: 3rd Life: 6th Rank Divine Sea, Demon Suppressio

Qingyun County.

Just as Lu Yuan was in seclusion cultivating.

The news of Wu Yong’s disappearance spread quickly and ca to the attention of various powers.

As the magistrate of Qingyun County tasked with overseeing many affairs, every action of his attracted countless eyes.

But as Wu Yong hadn’t appeared for several consecutive days, many noticed sothing unusual!

"Every first day of the month, Lord County Magistrate collects monthly tribute from major rchants. Why hasn’t he been seen these past few days?"

"I heard that Lord County Magistrate’s ho was burgled, with several residences stripped bare, even the antique calligraphy and paintings in the bedrooms were cleaned out!"

"Hiss! Who dares to be so bold as to target Lord County Magistrate?"

The people who heard the news were all visibly shocked, instinctively drawing a sharp breath.

Wu Yong had operated in Qingyun County for many years, with nurous demons from Black Wind Ridge as his backing, to the extent that he was regarded as a local tyrant.

Not to ntion ordinary thieves, even many high-level bandits dared not act recklessly!

"It doesn’t seem like he was burgled, more like a confiscation! Could it be that the Demon Suppression Bureau intervened?"

"Wu Yong, that scoundrel, has been oppressing the people often enough; it’s only fitting that his ho was confiscated this ti!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, daring to criticize an imperial official—you have a death wish?"

All the people involved in the discussion beca as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to say more.

But paper can’t contain fire.

As ti passed and Wu Yong still didn’t appear, even common folk realized he was probably dood.

Great Spirit Dynasty, Qingzhou, Nanyang Prefecture.

Although located on the frontier, Nanyang Prefecture was quite expansive, governing more than thirty counties and hosting a population of several million.

Nanyang City, the most bustling and lively place within a hundred miles, was also where the Demon Suppression Bureau’s branch was located!

At this mont, within a brightly lit grand hall.

A tall and brawny silver-haired elder in a black cloak stood with arms crossed, his tiger-like eyes scanning the crowd.

The elder’s aura was naturally imposing without anger; though over seventy, his gaze was as sharp as that of an eagle.

He scanned like a hawk.

Anyone glanced at by him felt as if they were being cut by knives!

rely by standing there, he exuded an iron-blood aura from years of battlefield experience, causing everyone’s heart to skip a beat, even making breathing slightly difficult!

Other mbers of the Demon Suppression Bureau were lined up on both sides of the hall.

Each bore a sword at their waist and exuded a formidable and unusual charisma.

Everyone’s True Qi was abundant and overwhelming, evidently possessing superb Martial Dao power!

However, this normally unruly bunch dared not even breathe under the elder’s gaze, afraid of drawing his attention and displeasure!

"General Zhang has gone to the Imperial City to report, and during his absence, I will temporarily take over Nanyang Demon Suppression Bureau. Does anyone object?"

The silver-haired elder’s voice was forceful and booming like rolling thunder, buzzing in everyone’s ears.

"It is our good fortune to have Inspection Envoy present during this ti for the people of Nanyang Prefecture."

Everyone’s faces lit up with joy.

This elder’s na was Sikong Lie, whose power was unfathomable, and he was an Inspection Envoy from the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau, ranking two levels higher than their imdiate superior!

Sikong Lie mainly oversaw inspections and governance of various regions.

Ordinary mbers of the Demon Suppression Bureau would find it extraordinarily difficult to et him even once.

Such a formidable figure standing at the pinnacle of Martial Dao.

Even a word of guidance from him could benefit all for a lifeti!

Thus, everyone in the Demon Suppression Bureau was overjoyed, wishing their direct superior stayed in the Imperial City, never to return.

"I will stay in Nanyang Prefecture for a period; if you have any important matters, report them to ."

Sikong Lie glanced around and spoke calmly.

"Reporting to Inspection Envoy, recently there has been a growing demon nace in Nanyang Prefecture, and we lack the personnel to combat it. We urgently need fresh recruits!"

"Please order for capable individuals to be selected from the county towns and trained as reserve mbers of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

A Demon Suppression Bureau mber cupped his fists and respectfully spoke.

"Approved!"

"Inspection Envoy, a spy from Qingyun County sent a secret report that local magistrate Wu Yong disappeared suddenly, his life and death unknown; should we investigate this matter?"

"A County Magistrate is a local paternal official; how could he vanish inexplicably? Bring his dossier!"

Sikong Lie’s brows furrowed slightly.

As an Inspection Envoy of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he typically interacted with prefects or inspectors.

Normally.

A re County Magistrate naturally wouldn’t catch his eye.

But in his position, he must act accordingly.

Now that he’s temporarily in charge of Nanyang Demon Suppression Bureau, he has to look into this matter.

"Inspection Envoy, this..."

Upon hearing Sikong Lie ask for Wu Yong’s dossier, the crowd exchanged glances, muttering and unable to speak for a while.

The Demon Suppression Bureau’s spies and agents were spread across the Great Spirit Dynasty.

No matter what little movent happened, they could learn about it imdiately.

And about Wu Yong’s collusion with demons in Qingyun County, they naturally knew.

But Nanyang Demon Suppression Bureau was short-handed, with demon troubles arising yearly.

They were lucky to keep Nanyang City relatively peaceful.

As for the more than thirty counties under Nanyang Prefecture’s jurisdiction, they were truly beyond reach.

As long as those county magistrates didn’t overstep too much, they sotis had to turn a blind eye.

While Sikong Lie, as Inspection Envoy of the Demon Suppression Bureau, usually dealt with significant matters of major demons and demonic cultivators.

But so matters are of little consequence at first, but once weighed, beco unbearably heavy!

Given this Inspection Envoy’s hot-headed and irascible nature, if he learned about such matters, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Simply imagining the scene made everyone feel cold, as if disaster was looming!

Seeing the crowd’s hesitant expressions, Sikong Lie felt even more that there was sothing amiss.

Under his command.

A Demon Suppression Bureau mber, with great reluctance, handed over a dossier.

When Sikong Lie opened the dossier and saw Wu Yong’s nurous heinous cris, his face turned iron green with anger, and even his fingers trembled!

"As a local official, you should have brought prosperity to your region, but who knew this person would not only disregard human life, embezzle the people’s wealth, but dare secretly collude with demons?"

"What is your Nanyang Demon Suppression Bureau doing, are you all useless to let such a scourge persist until now?"

Sikong Lie’s tiger eyes almost spewed fire as he scolded the crowd harshly!

At the sa ti, he wished to imdiately capture Wu Yong and then publicly execute him with a thousand cuts!

Yet he understood.

In a world troubled by demons, where evil thrived.

A foolish County Magistrate like Wu Yong was rely a minor affliction, the real source of chaos lay within the Great Spirit Dynasty!

Thinking of these issues.

Sikong Lie let out a heavy sigh.

Though he was a Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm expert, he couldn’t help but feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness at that mont.

"Inspection Envoy, Wu Yong has been missing for several days, do you an..."

After his anger had subsided so, a Demon Suppression Bureau mber cautiously asked.

"No matter what, Wu Yong is ultimately a registered official of the Imperial Court, his unexplained disappearance must be addressed!"

"And Black Wind Ridge has beco a den of demons, it must be swiftly eradicated!"

"A re thousand-year Tree Demon dares emulate the rabble of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave in self-proclaid kingship?"

"If your Nanyang Demon Suppression Bureau cannot handle it, I will personally make a trip!"
