Chapter 2283 Dark War!
The dark war between the Demon Inquisition and the Demon Hunter Association has begun!
Since ancient times, as long as a country sets up intelligence and spy agencies, there is no reason to set up only one. At least two departments that overlap and balance each other and are incompatible with each other.
If only one intelligence and spy agency is set up, like the Starry Glory Federation more than a hundred years ago, the "Secret Sword Bureau" is the dominant one and completely controls the intelligence and secret law enforcement power, as long as its leader has a little ambition, it will be very easy to deceive and undermine the higher-level rulers, causing extremely bad consequences.
The "Patriot Rebellion" initiated by Lu Zui using the Secret Sword Bureau as the team is the best example.
Therefore, in the new federal era, the federal intelligence and spy departments were divided into the Secret Sword Bureau of Chunfeng and the Anyue Foundation of Jin Xinyue. They compete and cooperate with each other, and are dynamically balanced like a seesaw, so that no matter which side's ambitions expand, they will not threaten national security.
The same is true in the real human empire. Five hundred years ago, when the imperial power was at its peak, the emperor never wanted to abolish the Demon Hunter Association. In the next five hundred years, no matter how strong and domineering the four electoral families were, the Demon Hunter Association made many contributions to their secret seizing power, but it failed to completely eliminate the Demon Hunter Association.
This is the way to check and balance. No matter whether the person in power is an emperor or the four electoral emperors, they will not completely trust these intelligence and spy agencies.
These two intelligence and spy agencies have to be entangled in the dark fate, fight forever, and prove to the people in power again and again that they are the colder, sharper and more efficient dark war swords!
Now, the action of "respecting the emperor and seeking rebellion and reforming the Shenwu" has reached the second step.
The Dongfang family sensed the faint hostility of the other three major families, and was even more afraid that the Thunder Fleet, which was the Thunder Fleet, would rush into the hinterland of the Dongfang family to commit destruction and play the trick of dying together, so the main force of the family fleet never dared to act rashly.
Neither Lei Chenghu nor the top leaders of the other three major families want to fight a full-scale civil war. No one is willing to mobilize the fleet to kill life and death in the sea of stars unless it is absolutely necessary.
Under the guidance of many powerful people and respected veterans, the four major families and the reformists, and the five forces reached a temporary tacit understanding. The table called "Empire" cannot be lifted. The first time whose fleet opened fire was to completely lift the table and disband, to smash everyone's cake, to be enemies with all other forces, and will be attacked by groups!
If all the force on the surface is restrained, it is a good time for the dark armed forces to show their skills.
There are four major families, especially the Oriental parents, who have been transfusions over the years. The scale and strength of the Demon Hunter Association are far above the Demon Inquisition Court. Conservatively estimated that the number of "Demon Hunter" is at least five times that of the "Witch Hunter".
But the advantage of the Demon Judgment Court is that they have been very low-key for the past hundred years, as low-key as if they were an insignificant Qingshui Office. No one knew that they would accept the secret modulation of His Highness in recent decades. The witch hunter trained by peerless magical powers in the tomb of the Emperor is no less combat power than the most powerful demon hunter. In terms of weirdness and ruthlessness, they are even more powerful.
More importantly, the Demon Inquisition Court is on the offensive and can choose the "hunting target" as you wish.
You should know that dozens of worlds nearby with the core of the Ji Tian Realm and the Tian Ji Star are nominally ruled by His Majesty the Emperor, and all the bureaucratic classes here are directly sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, with the decline of imperial power and the power of power, the so-called "direct dispatch of the emperor" has long become an empty talk. These dozens of emperors directly belong to the world's bureaucratic and administrative institutions have long been penetrated by the four major families, and they have almost dominated it by them.
But this also means that a large number of immortal cultivators from the Oriental family, who are extremely vassal families, occupy a high position in the imperial capital and must live and work here.
These people have the support of the Oriental family, so they are naturally not good officials who are honest and upright. Under the guise of His Majesty the Emperor, they exploit cultivators and lower-class people from other forces, and while continuously delivering benefits to the family, they pluck their hair to satisfy their selfish desires. This is a common and common "convention".
Since Li Linghai vowed to "reform the empire", he has secretly collected a lot of evidence, which is the so-called "cannonballs".
In the past, the status of the Dongfang family was indestructible. Even if these shells were shot, they would be easily resolved. Even the other three major families would help the Dongfang family cover up, so that even half of the news would not appear on the Lingwang.
But now is different from the past. Now the reformists have shown strong power. In the previous stage, the Dongfang family was overwhelmed, making people vaguely visible the weakness of the Dongfang family, so they can get the support of the Li family and the tacit approval of the Yun and Song families.
Once these shells explode, their lethality will definitely be earth-shaking.
The most important point is to capture these Eastern Immortal Cultivators who are stolen in the imperial capital!
There are thousands of such immortal cultivators, and the Demon Court can choose the target of arrest as you wish.
But the Demon Hunter Association must be busy guarding everywhere, and every important role of the Oriental Family must not be missed, and all must be protected.
Even if there are many demon hunters, and the Dongfang family's own strong bodyguard team, it is far from enough. Not necessarily, every Dongfang family's cultivator has seventy or eighty combat-type cultivators who are hustling to protect him, right?
It is even more impossible to evacuate the imperial capital and flee 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 to be showing weakness. Once the Dongfang family is unstable, the three families with ambiguous positions will completely turn to the reformists, and the Dongfang family will be a disaster.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must hold on until Dongfangwang secretly completes the dispatch of troops and generals, and reaches an ulterior motive with the other three major families, and win a consensus position.
It is unknown who will win to death!
Entering the pole world in May, the Pole Star, and early to the hottest summer of the year.
And a series of news that shocked the entire imperial capital, no, was the entire sea of stars, and was mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder in the hot wind.
On May 2, Dongfang Yu, the military education director who was responsible for managing the 71st military academies of the Empire, was arrested by the Demon Trial Court on his way to a meeting. The next day, the media under the Li family revealed that a number of shocking corruption cases involving unfair military merits were involved. Later, he followed the clues and involved hundreds of members of the military education system. Of course, the vast majority of the people involved in the case were from the Dongfang.
On May 5, the president of the "Imperial Montenegro Bank", ranked among the top 20 in the empire, was arrested in his private residence. Although there was a long time of defense and the bodyguard team that upgraded its defense and firepower, the Demon Judgment Court still captured the people alive and left before the masters of the Demon Hunter Association arrived. As for where they were arrested? Sorry, no one knew that the headquarters of the Demon Judgment Court had been empty, and only a few civilians at the bottom were still working seriously. As for Yue Wushuang and her most elite witch hunters, no one knew where they were hiding and which target they were targeting.
May 7th...May 8th...May 10th...
Almost every day, bureaucrats from the extremely vassal family of the Dongfang family are secretly arrested. The next day or even at the same time, their crimes will be exposed in the media under the Li family. Some of them are illegitimate fraud, and some involve the long-clogged criminal cases between immortal cultivators. It is normal that even the victim's family will not choose to solve the problem by law. Instead, they will try to lynch retaliate after practicing magical powers. However, in theory, the law can certainly punish them. It does not matter whether they "will be punished if you want to add a crime." What is important is that everyone in the entire sea of stars clearly sees that the Dongfang family is not invincible!
The power of cultivators of all sizes in the empire are like sharks of all sizes. The blood of the Dongfang family will definitely make them crazy. As long as the blood flows enough, all sharks will pounce on the Dongfang family regardless of everything.
Faced with the long-planned attack by the Demon Inquisition Court, the Demon Hunter Association naturally fought back strongly.
As countless bureaucrats and wealthy merchants from the Eastern family were secretly arrested and put on the hat of "demon cultivator", the Demon Hunter Association also took the initiative to attack the reformists and the Li family's immortal cultivators as usual.
However, the Li family is not as powerful as the Dongfang family, and there are not many people who have penetrated into the imperial capital. The reformists have always been hiding their heads and tails, acting in a hidden way. How could it be so easy to arrest them in a hurry?
The Association of Demon Hunters, which was anxious and red-eyed, was increasingly crazy and used any means, and did not care about how much damage the Sky Star caused to the Ji Tian Realm. After suffering a few losses, they really followed the clues and found several secret bases of the Heavenly Demon Court. The fire of both sides in the dark was a hundred times more cruel than the showdown between the fleet in the starry sea!
Every day, countless demon hunters and witches silently stabbed swords into each other's bodies in the poor streets and alleys deep underground in the imperial capital, then hugged each other, fell into the abyss, and died together.
Every minute, there are wonderful shows of conspiracy, fraud, bribery, betrayal and anti-betrayal.
Every second, there are 100% of human beings. Because of conflicts of interests, they are branded as "demon clan" or "demon cultivators" and are thrown into the bottomless black prison.
Perhaps, humans' slaughter of humans is always more cruel than humans' wars against demons and demons.
On May 19th, Shiraishi Special City, the west coast of the main continent of Tianji Star.
