Chapter 2283 Dark War!
The dark war between the Demon Tribunal and the Demon Hunters Association has begun!
Since ancient times, as long as a country has set up intelligence and secret service agencies, there is absolutely no reason to set up only one, at least two departments that overlap and check and balance each other, and are incompatible with each other.
If only one intelligence and secret service agency is set up, like the Xingyao Federation more than a hundred years ago, where the "Secret Sword Bureau" dominates and completely controls intelligence and secret law enforcement, as long as its head has a little ambition, it will be very easy. Deceived and emptied higher-level rulers, resulting in extremely bad consequences.
The "Patriot Rebellion" instigated by Lu Zui with the Secret Sword Bureau as his team is the best example.
Therefore, in the era of the New Federation, the intelligence and secret service departments of the Federation split into Guochunfeng's Secret Sword Bureau and Jin Xinyue's Dark Moon Foundation. They both compete and cooperate with each other, and they are dynamically balanced like a seesaw. The expansion of ambitions of either party will not threaten national security.
The same is true in the Real Human Empire. When the imperial power was at its peak five hundred years ago, no matter how favored the Heavenly Demon Tribunal was, the emperor never thought of abolishing the Demon Hunters Association; How powerful and domineering, and how much credit the Monster Hunter Association has made for them to secretly seize power, but they have not been able to completely wipe out the Heavenly Demon Tribunal.
This is the way of checks and balances. Regardless of whether the person in power is the emperor or the four major electors, they will not completely trust these intelligence and secret service agencies.
These two intelligence and secret service agencies have to be entangled in the gloomy fate, fighting forever, proving to those in power time and time again that they are the colder, sharper, and more efficient dark swords!
Now, the action of "respecting the emperor against rebellion and reforming the martial arts" has progressed to the second step.
The Dongfang family sensed the faint hostility of the other three major families, and was even more afraid that Lei Chenghu's Thunder Fleet would rush into the hinterland of the Dongfang family to wreak havoc and play the trick of killing each other, so the main force of the family fleet never dared to act rashly.
Neither Lei Chenghu nor the senior officials of the other three major families wanted to fight an all-out civil war. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one was willing to mobilize the fleet to fight for their lives in the sea of stars.
Under the help of many powerful people and respected veterans, the four major families plus the reformers, and the five forces reached a temporary tacit agreement. This table named "Empire" cannot be lifted, whose fleet will be the first to fire, It means completely breaking up the table, it means smashing everyone's cakes, it means making enemies of all other forces, and they will be attacked by groups!
When all the armed forces on the surface are restrained, it is a good time for the dark armed forces to show their talents.
There are four major families, especially the Eastern parents, who have been transfusing blood for many years. The scale and strength of the Demon Hunters Association far exceeds that of the Demon Tribunal. It is conservatively estimated that the number of "monster hunters" is at least five times that of "witch hunters".
But the advantage of the Heavenly Demon Tribunal is that they have been keeping a low profile for the past hundred years, so low-key that they are like an insignificant Qingshui yamen. The witch hunter trained by the peerless magical powers in the tomb is not inferior to the most powerful demon hunter in terms of combat power, and even more so in terms of weirdness and viciousness.
More importantly, the Omen Tribunal is on the offensive and can choose the "hunting target" as it pleases.
You must know that the dozens of Great Thousand Worlds in the vicinity centered on the Extreme Heaven Realm and the Tianji Star are nominally ruled by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and all the bureaucrats here are directly sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, with the decline of imperial power and powerful ministers in power today, the so-called "direct dispatch by the emperor" has long since become empty talk. These dozens of bureaucracies and administrative agencies directly under the emperor's world have long been infiltrated by the four major families. , almost controlled by them for more than half.
But this also means that there are a large number of immortal cultivators from the Dongfang family and vassal families who occupy high positions in the imperial capital and must live and work here.
These people have the backing of the Dongfang family, so they are naturally not good officials with a clean sleeve and integrity. They use the guise of His Majesty the Emperor to squeeze the immortal cultivators and low-level people of other forces, and at the same time provide a steady stream of benefits for the family, they also pluck hair to satisfy themselves This is a "routine" that is commonplace and commonplace.
Since Li Linghai vowed to "reform the empire", he has secretly collected a lot of evidence, the so-called "cannonballs".
In the past, the status of the Dongfang family was unassailable. Even if these shells were fired, they would be easily dispelled. Even the other three major families would help the Dongfang family to cover up, and even half of the news would not appear on the spirit net.
But today is different from the past. Now the reformers have shown their formidable strength. In the previous stage, they beat the Dongfang family to the brink of death. It makes people faintly see the weakness of the Dongfang family. That's why they can get the support of the Li family and the Yun and Song families. acquiescence.
Once these shells explode, the lethality is absolutely earth-shattering.
The most critical point is to catch these immortal cultivators from the Dongfang family who have stolen high positions in the imperial capital!
There are tens of thousands of such cultivators, and the Heavenly Demon Tribunal can choose whoever it wants to arrest.
But the Demon Hunters Association must be exhausted to fortify everywhere, and every important role of the Dongfang family must not be missed, and all of them must be protected.
No matter how many demon hunters there are, plus the Dongfang family's own powerful bodyguard team, it is far from enough. Not every immortal cultivator of the Dongfang family will have seventy or eighty fighting immortal cultivators before going to work. Hug for protection?
It is even more impossible to evacuate the imperial capital and escape back to the Dongfang family's own territory.
This kind of behavior of fleeing without fighting will be considered by the Li family, Yun family and Song family as a sign of weakness by the Dongfang family. Once the vacillating and ambiguous three families completely fall for the reformists, the Dongfang family will be doomed.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, they must persist until Dongfangwang completes the deployment of troops in secret, and reaches an ulterior secret agreement with the other three major families, and strives for a unanimous position, then it will win.
Who will win the deer, especially unknown!
Entering the Pole Sky Realm and Tianjixing in May, the hottest summer of the year comes early.
And a series of news that shocked the entire imperial capital, no, it was the news of the entire star sea, and in the scorching wind, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
On May 2, Dongfang Yu, the director of military education in charge of managing seventy-one military academies in the empire, was arrested in a surprise attack by the Heavenly Demon Tribunal on his way to a meeting. Together, it was involved in many shocking fraud cases of unfair distribution of military achievements, and then followed the vines to implicate hundreds of members of the military education system. Of course, the vast majority of people involved in the case were all surnamed Dongfang.
On May 5th, the president of the "Empire Montenegro Bank", which ranks among the top 20 in the empire, was arrested in his private residence. Although he had taken precautions and the bodyguards with upgraded defenses and firepower put up a desperate resistance, the Omen Tribunal still Before the masters of the Demon Hunter Association arrived, he was captured alive and left. As for where he was captured? I'm sorry, but no one knows that the public headquarters of the Omen Tribunal has long since been vacated, leaving only a few low-level civil servants still working in earnest. As for Yue Wushuang and her most elite witch hunters, there is no People know where they are hiding and which target they are after.
May 7th...May 8th...May 10th...
Almost every day, bureaucrats from the Dongfang family and its vassal families are secretly arrested, and their charges will be exposed in the media under the Li family the next day or even at the same time. Fighting and killing among immortal cultivators is normal, and even the families of the victims will not choose to use the law to solve the problem, but try to find a way to lynch and retaliate after practicing their supernatural powers. Sin, there is nothing to worry about" is not important, what is important is that everyone in the entire galaxy can clearly see that the Dongfang family is not invincible!
The forces of cultivators, big and small, in the empire are like sharks big and small. The blood of the Dongfang family will definitely drive them crazy. As long as there is enough blood, all the sharks will rush towards the Dongfang family regardless of everything. .
Facing the long-planned attack by the Heavenly Demon Tribunal, the Demon Hunter Association naturally counterattacked strongly.
At the same time that countless bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen from the Dongfang family were secretly arrested and put on the hat of "demon cultivators", the Demon Hunter Association also took the initiative to attack the reformists and immortal cultivators from the Li family in the same way.
It's just that the strength of the Li family is not as good as that of the Dongfang family. Not many people have infiltrated the imperial capital. The reformers have been hiding their heads and showing their tails, acting stealthily. How can it be so easy to arrest them in a hurry?
The red-eyed Demon Hunters Association is acting more and more crazy, more and more unscrupulous, and doesn't care how much damage it causes to the Extreme Heaven Realm and the Heavenly Extreme Star. The secret base, the two sides fighting in the dark, is a hundred times more cruel than the confrontation of the fleet in the star sea!
Every day, countless demon hunters and witch hunters silently thrust their swords into each other's bodies in the back alleys deep in the underground of the imperial capital, and then hugged each other, fell into the abyss, and died together.
Every minute, there are wonderful scenes of conspiracy, fraud, bribery, betrayal and anti-betrayal.
Every second, 100% of human beings are branded as "monsters" or "demon cultivators" because of conflicts of interests, and thrown into bottomless black prisons.
Perhaps, the slaughter of human beings against human beings is always more cruel than the wars between human beings against monster races and sky demons.
On May 19th, the west coast of the main continent of Tianji Star, Baishi Special City.
On the high-speed track assisted by the shuttle car in the suburbs, a new raid and arrest is underway in secret.
