After five days of careful selection, Li Xuan organized the twenty primary members of the demon hunting team.

They have Huang Fu Jue's acquaintances from the military department, there are masters from the people, and there are also people from the Monster Province who join.

As the captain of the demon hunting team, Li Xuan also came to the apse of the main hall after the early dynasty and reported to the emperor.

"Li Xuan, I came just in time, I have something to tell you. ”

Before the emperor could speak, he said with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Li Xuan had no choice but to respond.

"I'd like to see the list of your Demon Squads, and it's best to write down everyone's origins. ”

It turned out that I was worried that I hadn't organized the team yet.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, if he just wanted to check this, he could completely satisfy the emperor.

But the next sentence puzzled him.

"At the same time, the news of the Great Magician was made public, immediately. ”

"Your Majesty!

"I know. ”

The Emperor stopped and interrupted Li Xuan's words: "But someone has seized the handle of this matter and intends to attack me and you!"

"How is that possible? Isn't the information of the Great Mage blocked?"

In the next second, Li Xuan understood the emperor's intention to ask for the list of demon hunting teams.

"Does Your Majesty think that there are spies in the Demon Hunting Team?"

Li Xuan asked nervously.

The emperor nodded and said, "Well, I don't blame you, Tao Xinping also reminded me that your temperament is not suitable for intrigue in politics." ”

Li Xuan just bowed his head vigorously.

It is not known whether the emperor is praising him or criticizing him.

Then, the emperor continued: "I hope that next time you will pay attention, first investigate the origin and identity of everyone, and give me an answer tomorrow." ”

"At the same time, let Tao Xinping come forward as soon as possible, disclose the information of the Great Magician, and make our position clear. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The Emperor was about to signal Li Xuan to step aside, but Li Xuan then asked:

"The minister dared to ask, who is trying to use this trick?"

The emperor's eyes became cold at that moment: "A person who is arrogant and arrogant in two worlds. ”

Later, Li Xuan understood the meaning of the emperor's words under Tao Xinping's explanation.

The day before yesterday, the Pope set out from Cretien, where the bishoprical court was located, and the target was supposed to be the imperial capital of Iau.

But in general, it is only on days such as the Holy Sacrifice or Birthday Celebration that the Pope comes to Iaur to participate in the celebrations of the whole world.

But now there is still a lot of time before the next festival such as the Holy Emperor Festival.

During the investigation, the pro-royal faction in the imperial capital learned that the purpose of the pope's trip was very sinister.

Spread the news of the reincarnation of the Great Magician along the way, and increase the people's support for the Church in the name of the Emperor of Eternal Life;

On the other hand, he intentionally or unintentionally hinted that there was an unknown relationship between the emperor and the great magician, so that he blocked the news of the great magician and tried to deceive the people.

The intent is obvious.

The activity of the church also led to the intensification of the contradictions between the pro-imperial faction and the sect in the imperial capital.

The sect's admonition against the emperor in the early dynasties led to arguments between the pro-emperor faction and them in front of the emperor.

This is also the reason why the emperor was full of sadness when he saw Li Xuan.

If the Emperor still proceeds according to the original plan, the situation will develop in an increasingly out of control direction.

In order to resist the pope's rumors, the emperor had no choice but to disclose the information of the great magician in advance.

It's really a helpless move.

Moreover, there is intelligence that the accompanying apologists around the Pope this time, both in number and intensity, far exceed the standard of ordinary activities.

Dai Wangjue, a celestial judge with the same name as Huangfu Jue, heard that he also joined it.

Such an action by the Pope also means that his ambitions have swelled to a certain extent.

Being a supreme being in the spiritual world of the people is no longer satisfying him;

What he wants now is to be emperor in the secular world.

This so-called, the supremacy of the two worlds.

"So what will Your Majesty do next?"

Li Xuan had already come to Tao Xinping's office at this time.

"The struggle between imperial power and clerical power has existed since the beginning of the establishment of the Beglie Empire. ”

Tao Xinping saw that Li Xuan began to be a little concerned about political affairs, and was inexplicably a little relieved, and explained to him.

"Unlike foreign countries, the Begret Empire is an extremely special existence, because the object of the Holy Emperor's Church is itself the ancestor of the Begret royal family. ”

This is the Immortal Emperor who fell hundreds of years ago.

"In the first few years, the church was very awkward because their Descendants of God were still in power here, and the people didn't know what to do. ”

However, after the establishment of the Ryth Alliance led by Karokemen, its idea of purging the 'immorous' descendants of the Immortal Emperor and maintaining the authority of the Immortal Emperor was supported by the Church for the first time, and the relationship between the royal family of Begret and the Immortal Emperor gradually separated in the hearts of the people. ”

"But after all, the Begret Empire is still very special, and there will be no phenomenon that the religious power of other countries is higher than the imperial power. Here, the imperial power is equal to, or even higher than, the ecclesiastical power. ”

"And the bishopric of the church is in the territory of the Beglie Empire, so successive popes will play power games with the royal family. ”

This has also led to the emergence of factions in the secret of the ministers of the DPRK and China. In addition to the aristocratic faction whose power was weak after being purged, it was the confrontation between the pro-imperial faction and the sect. ”

"Thanks to the efforts of the current emperor, the pro-emperor faction has gained the upper hand, but now the pope's actions have clearly stimulated the activity of the sect. ”

"The reason why the emperor asked us to hold a report meeting is to prevent the pope from taking the helm. ”

Li Xuan listened to Tao Xinping's explanation in a little confusion, showing an incredible expression.

It turns out that it's so difficult to be an emperor?

Seeing Li Xuan like this, Tao Xinping hurriedly said: "Of course, this is just a very shallow understanding, the real battle is even more fierce than you and I imagined!"

Still more intense?

Li Xuan waited for a long time before he spoke: "Then what faction is our Monster Province from?"

"There are no factions in the Monster Province. No faction will come to woo the Monster Province, after all, when it comes to politics, we are ignorant and have no right to speak. ”

Don't you know anything about this?! Didn't you just tell me so much!

Tao Xinping saw Li Xuan's doubts, and said in an embarrassed tone for the first time: "I also said it when I listened to the eunuchs' talk. ”

At this point, Li Xuan could be sure that the emperor was criticizing himself with that sentence.

"By the way, how's your demon hunting team?"

Tao Xinping opened the subject.

"It has been preliminarily decided, and now we are carrying out coordination training and the preparation of materials. ”

"Well, behave, Your Majesty has given you all the Janissaries this time. ”

Tao Xinping looked at Li Xuan with some concern, after learning about the Great Magician's record, no one could guarantee that he would be able to kill the Great Magician in normal combat.

Is it true that the participation of the Demon Hunting Association is still required?

Only magic can be fought against magic.

And the Demon Hunter Society has a means that allows demon hunters to temporarily possess magical powers.

Not relying on the Salvation Armor, but another killer method.

This kind of thing is only known to members with old qualifications like Tao Xinping, and the Demon Hunting Association has also specially instructed the Ministry of Monsters to give them a random excuse to explain the problem of magic.

Back then, it was in the name of the [Divine Favorite] that fooled the past, that is, the person favored by the soul of the Immortal Emperor.

It shouldn't be a problem for this kind of person to know magic...

"If you encounter a great magician, don't go head-to-head, and try to leave it to the people of the Demon Hunting Association. ”

Tao Xinping instructed.

"Understood. ”

Li Xuan also knew what the result of the head-to-head confrontation with Yu Dongshui was.

"You can also go to the next report and announce the news of the establishment of the Demon Hunting Team. ”

This is, of course, to further salvage the royal family's position on the matter.

"Understood. ”

Li Xuan nodded again.

It's just that I still can't understand why the emperor and the pope didn't think of a plan to deal with the reincarnation of the great magician when they faced the problem of reincarnation, but started fighting internally.

In their eyes, the Great Mage is less of a threat and more of a tool.

Help them gain the upper hand in the struggle between each other and win the hearts and minds of the people.

Is this the case every time? Is this politics?

It's the room with the demon statue again.

Everyone worked in their seats.

This time, a messenger also came, but unlike the panic of the person last time, when facing them, his expression and heart were not wavering.

When this man appeared in front of everyone, he was wearing clothes with special markings, so that everyone recognized his identity.

The young man glanced at the man and said, "Are you Dark Sect finally willing to give us some information?"

"Entrusted by the Sect Master of my sect, I will convey the situation and hopes of the Sect Master of the Beast Sect to the adults of the Demon Sect. ”

"Beast Sect, I thought it had something to do with that little guy. ”

"Lord Shadow also wants to tell the Demon Sect Master that he is following the whereabouts of the reincarnation of the Great Mage. ”

"Are you sure you're going to close the distance?"

"Shadow said that if necessary, he would use extraordinary means. ”

"Hmm. The young man said, "You should know about the recent actions of the Pope of the Holy Emperor's Church, and ask your [Stygian Thorn] to protect the little one." ”

He was obviously more concerned about the affairs of the Great Magician than about the Beast Sect, and only after confirming the Dark Sect's concern about Dongshui did he ask about the matter.

"So, what's going on over there with [Poison Dragon]?"

"The Beast Sect Master has already negotiated with the other party, and the other party will surrender to my sect. ”

The young man seemed to be very disgusted with the people in the messenger's mouth, and it took him a long time to say, "Oh, those guys who are not even worthy of slaves, I don't have to teach them so much combat power." ”

"After all, it's the same source as the power of the adults..."

"Roar ......!"

Grumpy growls rang out from both sides of the room.

In an instant, most of the people present seemed to change their faces, showing a fierce expression, and glared at the messenger with anger on their faces.

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, I hope you can wait for the next time to ignore it, so that you can die happily. ”

The messenger realizes that he has violated the bottom line of the big shots present, and hurriedly apologizes.

As for after reporting the letter, he was supposed to keep his mouth shut forever, and I just hoped that he wouldn't die too ugly.

"That Assassin has told you too much, I'm going to talk to him next time. ”

The young man waved his hand sternly and said to the messenger in a commanding tone, "Go on! What is the poisonous dragon going to do?"

"Back to my lord, the Beast Sect Master wants to come back and meet the reincarnation of the Great Magician. ”

The Messenger's words became a little more respectful than at first.

"What is it doing here? Hey, snake-headed snake-brain, don't get in the way of the plan that your family has been planning for so long. ”

"It's just a message and it's not qualified to discuss that. ”

The young man's anger subsided a little, and the others didn't pay any more attention to the messenger.

"You should know about the arrangement of the poisonous dragon after the group of slaves who are inferior to the slaves, right?"

"That's right, I know. The Beast Sect Master knew your attitude towards them, so he decided to bring them under the command of the Western Beast Sect. ”

"It's okay, if you have any eye-catching abilities, you can let [Thousand Evils] bring me some to enhance the Pope's combat power here. ”

This was self-talk, for the messenger in front of him was destined to be impossible to get out of this building, and he was destined to be unable to convey these words.

Later, the young man asked:

"The situation is roughly understood. So, what about the hope you spoke of at the beginning?"

"Lord Hui, the Beast Sect Master is worried that the other party's strength will not be able to reach the stronghold in the west, and I hope that the Demon Sect can give support in terms of combat effectiveness. ”

"Do you know that my Demon Sect's base is here, so I want to get combat power nearby?"

The young man glanced at the six people sitting below: "Well, this seat knows." ”

The Messenger then said: "Then it is time for my mission (life) to end." ”

The young man winked at the guard next to him.

"For the sake of your family, give you a painless home. ”

The Courier smiled with relief, "Thank you, sir—"
