Chapter 2280 The Mysterious Oriental Moon! (Fourth Update!)
Li Yao was stunned for a long time, then said: "If you insist on saying that, then there is no problem."
Li Linghai smiled, and said: "Five hundred years before the empire, when the emperor was still in control of the power, the Heavenly Demon Tribunal, as His Majesty's sharpest sword, did have the absolute power of saying one thing, life and death, killing first and then playing. At that time, a member of the Heavenly Demon Tribunal A little 'witch hunter' walking through the street can scare the ministers in the court and the local leaders to tremble. If someone's house is knocked on the door by the 'witch hunters' in the middle of the night, it is no exaggeration to be scared to death.
"However, with the decline of imperial power, the Heavenly Demon Tribunal is also becoming more and more depressed and dilapidated. What I just said is only a 'theoretical' possibility.
"Theoretically, the Tribunal of Heavenly Demons can indeed accuse anyone of being a demon cultivator, take them back to their lair and torture them to extract a confession or even torture them into torture, but in reality, if you really want to arrest someone, it still depends on your strength.
"Before we get the full support of our reformists, the Demon Tribunal is far from capable of arresting people everywhere, especially in cases involving the four major elector families. If you dare to come to arrest people, they will dare to beat you to death. Burn it to ashes and spray it into the depths of the sea of stars, what can you do?
"To put it bluntly, don't say wronging good people at will, and beating them into tricks. Even if there are people from the four major elector families who cooperate with extraterritorial demons and become out-and-out demon cultivators, the court of demons can only turn a blind eye. , pretending not to see?"
Li Yao was taken aback in horror: "Is there really someone... cooperating with extraterritorial celestial demons?"
"You and I, immortal cultivators and comprehension practitioners, can cooperate. As long as there are enough benefits, why can't we cooperate with extraterritorial demons?"
Li Linghai said lightly, "The celestial demons outside the territory are also a kind of intelligent life, and intelligent life means the possibility of negotiation, compromise, deal and peace. Far from being restored to its heyday, it only has the theoretical power of "life and death, arbitrary sanctions", which is not as arrogant and domineering as you imagine.
"But another organization is different, that is the Association of Demon Hunters."
Li Yao thought for a while: "Understood, the empire is an official organization that specializes in dealing with monsters and monsters."
"That's right, ever since the Star Sea Empire was collapsed by the Yaozu and the Heavenly Demons 10,000 years ago, the Yaozu and the Heavenly Demons have always been the two major threats to human civilization. After that, all the regimes in the Central Star Sea will set up institutions to deal with these two threats Even the army, in the True Human Empire, is the Heavenly Demon Tribunal and the Demon Hunter Association."
Li Linghai introduced, "Ten thousand years have passed, and most of the extraterritorial celestial demons have disappeared most of the time, at most they occasionally come out to cause trouble, and the demon race has completely lost its established and systematic civilized country, and we have driven them to the edge of the star sea. Is it extinct?
"The Tribunal of the Heavenly Demons and the Association of Demon Hunters have lost their usefulness, and have continued to transform into two secret spy organizations of the empire. The sharp weapons used to deal with the demons and demons in the past are now suitable for human beings.
"The first five hundred years of the empire was the era of the Tribunal of Heavenly Demons. Relying on the support of His Majesty the Emperor, the Demon Hunters Association was firmly suppressed. This also caused the Demon Hunters Association to invest in the four major elector families early on to suppress them. The imperial power's secret war has made great contributions, and when the merits are rewarded, they will also get corresponding feedback, and the scale and level will increase, and within the next five hundred years, it will become a terrifying existence for all immortal cultivators in the empire, and everyone will change their faces!"
Li Yao turned his mind, nodded and said, "Understood, members of the 'Demon Hunters Association' can also walk on the road swaggeringly, and if anyone is upset, they will call them a demon clan, drag them back and torture them, beat them into tricks, and then 'click 'It's completely legal to kill one's head?"
"Yes, if the Heavenly Demon Tribunal is the sharpest sword of His Majesty the Emperor, then the Demon Hunter Association is the most loyal hound of the four major elector families. Those who dare to disobey the orders of the four major families and violate their interests will inevitably be detained Put on the hats of 'monster spies', 'human-monster hybrid', ruin your reputation and let others slaughter you."
Li Linghai said, "In the past hundred years, the strength of the Dongfang family has greatly expanded, and they have extended their tentacles to various key areas of the empire. Naturally, the Demon Hunter Association is also their key target for infiltration. The president who just took office is a member of the Dongfang family, more accurately He said that he was Dongfangwang's confidant.
"Now everyone's fleets are firmly restrained by each other, and no one dares to risk the world's disgrace to start a civil war. That is the Heavenly Demon Tribunal and the Demon Hunters Association. This black battlefield where old enemies have been entangled for thousands of years is going to be re-emerged. The flames of war are on."
Li Linghai lightly gestured a talisman array, and the light and shadow flickered behind him, and the underground street map just now was replaced with the image of a young woman.
this woman...
The long black and beautiful long hair poured straight down like a waterfall, hanging all the way to the waist. Although the facial features are small and exquisite, but the whole is a bit plain, like a few faint ink dots on gray rice paper, which cannot leave too much space. deep impression.
Even with Li Yao's memory and discrimination ability, after seeing this three-dimensional photo, he still can't tell what other features this woman has besides the waterfall hair.
The waterfall long hair is obviously a cover-up. It can be cut short, dyed and changed in minutes. It is completely worthless to focus on the hair.
Ever since Li Yao cultivated to the realm of transforming gods, he has never felt such an "unpredictable" feeling towards a person, what a strange thing!
"This woman is called 'Dongfang Mingyue', and she is the president of the Demon Hunter Association who just took office last month."
Li Linghai introduced, "I believe she is the spy chief of Dongfangwang, equivalent to Yue Wushuang's role on our side, and also the most dangerous enemy in our next stage of battle!
"You have been making a big splash in Xinghai and the Imperial Tomb recently, you should have been noticed by Dongfang Wang long ago, and it is very likely that you will have to deal with this woman, so be careful!"
Li Yao stared at Dongfang Mingyue's photo with great interest, and murmured: "You look really young, what is your realm, what is your background, do you have any detailed information to study?"
Li Linghai shook his head slowly and said, "No."
Li Yao was slightly taken aback: "For such an important character, the 18 generations of ancestors who have never had hemorrhoids should have collected all the information, right? What is 'no'?"
Li Linghai smiled wryly, and said: "Do you still remember how I introduced you to others before? I said that you are a secret fighter raised by the reformists in the dark, the one who comes and goes without a trace, is mysterious, and never sees the end of the dragon." kind.
"Many big forces will train such dark fighters, who specialize in the most secretive, dirtiest and bloodiest activities, known as 'Onimusha' and the like.
"Of course you are a counterfeit, but this Dongfang Mingyue is the real thing. Before she became the president of the Demon Hunter Association, there was almost no information about the dark warriors and onimushas raised by Dongfangwang, but there are reasons to believe that there are dozens of them. All the shocking cases are related to her, she is the most proficient in hidden assassination and secret operations!"
"so smart?"
Li Yao couldn't believe it, "It's true that you don't even have any information about her?"
"No, she is like a shadow, a shadow emerging from the depths of the dark swamp. No one knows what realm she is."
Li Linghai changed the topic, "However, a year and a half ago, I saw her once in the palace, and she was just a little maid at that time."
Li Yao opened his eyes wide: "What?"
"The four major elector families will all place eyeliners in the palace, including myself, who was originally the Li family's eyeliner in the palace, so she was ordered by Dongfangwang to perform any tasks in the palace as a maid. Not surprisingly."
Li Linghai frowned slightly, and murmured, "It's just that when I glanced at her casually at that time, I felt a faint sense of vigilance. It's really strange."
"His Royal Highness actually feels wary of Dongfang Mingyue?"
Li Yao was taken aback.
He knows best how terrifying Li Linghai's fighting power is. However, even if he is not the "No. 1 Master of the Real Human Empire", it is absolutely no problem to rank among the top ten or even the top five.
Such a peerless expert who cultivated the supernatural powers of the emperor and possessed the body protection of the purple flame dragon's aura, even felt vigilant against Dongfang Mingyue?
In other words, even if Dongfang Mingyue is not as strong as Li Linghai, at least there is a certain possibility that it will pose a threat to Li Linghai!
Li Yao pondered and said: "His Royal Highness, to be honest, have you...have you ever developed a 'sense of vigilance' towards me?"
Li Linghai thought for a while and said, "It seems not."
Li Yao said in disbelief, "No way, not once, not even for a second?"
Li Linghai shook his head and said, "No, you shouldn't pose a threat to me, other than being a pig teammate and pulling my hind legs."
Li Yao sighed: "Okay, that is to say, everyone is also a 'ghost warrior in the dark', but Dongfang Mingyue should be a little bit stronger than me?"
"Yes, but you need not despair."
Li Linghai explained, "I carefully estimated afterwards, even if Dongfang Mingyue is really stronger than you, it may not be able to kill you. If the two of you really fight, you have a very high probability that the gecko can cut off its tail and escape."
Li Yao: "...Oh."
"In short, during this period of time, the Tribunal of the Heavenly Demons will start a full-scale war with the Demon Hunters Association, which consumes a lot of magic weapons, and requires you and Master Jin Tianzong to pay a lot of attention."
Li Linghai said, "As for Dongfang Mingyue's information, we will always collect more information in this dark war, and it would be even better if you can personally try her.
"In the final analysis, this large-scale dark war is just a feint and a cover-up. When the time is right and most of the opponent's forces have been transferred away from the mountain, we will take down the secret research institute of Dongfang Renxin with lightning speed. , to find the key evidence, of course, to catch him himself, and then the avalanche of the entire Dongfang family will be unstoppable, is there any problem?"
"have."
Li Yao raised his hand, "May I ask why Your Highness the Queen said that I am a pig teammate? When did I pull your hind legs? Also, I really, really haven't threatened you at all?"—
