A moment before midnight.

Jiaodong County, Demon Slaying Division.

Yue Feihe was leaning back against the top of the council hall, and below it sat five deputy masters, all of whom were holding a shadow jade in their hands, waiting for the former's order.

"Master, noon has arrived." One person said to Yue Feihe.

The next moment, Yue Feihe sat up straight and looked at the five deputy masters with a gleam in his eyes.

"The time has come, connect the Shadow Jade."

"Yes!"

The five masters immediately connected to the contacts that had been prepared in the shadow jade for a long time, and the next moment, almost at the same time, the figures of five men or women appeared in front of the five masters.

"Deputy Master, Master."

The five figures saluted to the people in the room.

They are from the other five cities in Jiaodong County, namely Nanke City, Seven Seas City, Feiyun City, Julu City, and Black Flame City.

After Yue Feihe nodded, he said, "Everyone, the time has come, close the net immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

These five masters were not surprised, in fact, they had already received the message to remind them to close the net, so they ordered one after another.

As the order of the five people was delivered, a water curtain suddenly appeared out of thin air in the council hall, and the water curtain was divided into twenty screens, which corresponded to the various parts of the five cities.

This water curtain is not a magic weapon, but a formation, but the formation mage of the Demon Slayer Division associated it with the Peeping Heaven Realm in Jiaodong County, that is to say, the picture presented by the water curtain at this time is the real-time picture observed by the Peeping Heaven Realm in Jiaodong County.

In order to ensure the smooth collection of the net, Yue Feihe directly ordered the Peep Heaven Realm to operate at full strength and accurately monitor the actions everywhere, which led to the current scene.

At this time, in the picture, there is a team of demon slaying priests rushing into the target location that has been mastered for a long time.

It didn't take long for the shouts of killing to be heard everywhere in the picture.

Although it was calculated intentionally, Jiuli Yu was not weak, and after being raided, he quickly organized a counterattack.

But Jiuli Yu was in a hurry, and he couldn't deal with the wolf-like demon slaying division at all, and he often just organized a counterattack, and the next moment he was directly dispersed and defeated by the demon slaying division.

With the passage of time, the demon slaying priests in the picture moved forward little by little, and some of the Jiuli remnants wanted to retreat when they saw that they couldn't do anything, but after these people finally escaped from the encirclement of the demon slaying division, they were desperate to find that in the periphery, there were more demon slaying divisions waiting for them.

Although Yue Feihe and the others closed the net in advance, they were very well prepared, and the purpose of him and the imperial court was to eliminate the Jiuli remnants hidden in Jiaodong County in one fell swoop, so it was naturally impossible to give these people a chance to escape.

After waiting for a long time, the demon slaying priests and the people who had been chopping melons and vegetables to kill the Jiuli remnants who wanted to flee in vain, then they each returned to their own guarded positions.

In the water curtain, there are two other pictures, but they have encountered fierce resistance, and among them, there are not only Jiuli Yu Sins, but also dozens of city lords and soldiers in armor.

Obviously, the City Lord's Mansion and Jinling City in these two places have been infiltrated and corroded by the remnants of Jiuli.

"Humph! These moths. ”

Yue Feihe looked at this scene coldly, and snorted: "When these damn Jiuli remnants are eradicated, the old man will definitely go to the imperial court and cancel all the city lord's mansions in Jiaodong County!" ”

In the council hall, the five deputy directors looked at the city lord's mansion army that suddenly appeared, and their faces were also cold.

These bastards, who enjoy the support of the people of their respective cities on weekdays, are not yet satisfied, and dare to collude with the remnants of Jiuli, it seems that it is really time to reform the setting of this city lord's mansion.

At the beginning, the first generation of emperors who rebelled against Jiuli and established the Daqian Dynasty rewarded those people with cities established everywhere in order to reward meritorious people.

At the beginning, the city lord's mansion of these cities also adopted the inheritance system, but with the death of the original group of meritorious people, their descendants were gradually corroded, either doing nonsense all day long to make their respective cities jump, or domineering one side, wantonly oppressing the people in the city, causing public resentment.

Therefore, in order to get rid of these fools, the Daqian Dynasty issued a city lord election order, so that people with lofty ideals can participate in the election of the city lord.

However, in order to prevent these people from being the evil party, the Daqian Dynasty also took away most of the full strength of the city lord's mansion, and only reserved the right to collect taxes and recruit troops.

After all, the original purpose of the establishment of the City Lord's Mansion was to protect the people of the city, and it was impossible to do it without soldiers.

However, now it seems that it is time for the city lord's mansion to reform again.

Moreover, they believe that after this incident, the imperial court will most likely pass Yue Feihe's proposal.

After all, the current Daqian Dynasty is full of talents, and it is not as unavailable as it was at the beginning of its establishment, even if all the city lords' mansions in the one hundred and eight cities of the Daqian Dynasty are replaced by people from the imperial court, it will definitely be enough.

Yue Feihe didn't know what the five people were thinking, and at this time, he leaned back on the back of the chair again, showing a relaxed attitude.

Although the actions of the five cities have more or less had a little accident, they are all harmless, and under the attack of the Demon Slayer Division, there are several strongholds, which have been completely conquered.

And in the rest of the place, although there is still fighting, the situation has basically shown a one-sided state, as long as there are no more big accidents, before dawn, basically all can be taken.

This couldn't help but make his nerves, which had been tense for the past few days, relax a little because of Jinling City.

Time passed slowly, and when a bright light gradually appeared outside the council chamber, the last scene in the water curtain was silent.

"It worked! Finally eradicated these damn Jiuli remnants! ”

A smile finally appeared on the faces of the five masters, and at this moment, the string they had been tightening was completely loosened.

Don't look at their calm and calm appearance before, but in their hearts, they are all worried, for fear that there will be an accident in the action of the city they are responsible for.

Especially the two deputy masters in charge of Feiyun City and Julu City, when the city lord's army suddenly appeared in those strongholds, they almost didn't scare the two of them to death.

Because in the information they had, there was no problem with the City Lord's Mansion in these two places.

But fortunately, those city lord's mansion troops were only because several generals of the city lord's mansion rebelled, and the city lord didn't know about their rebellion, so when they were condemned by the demon slaying divisions everywhere, they immediately mobilized their respective city lord's mansion troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and successfully defeated those two strongholds.

Of course, this is only what they see from the picture, and the specific situation still needs to be investigated, after all, no one can be sure whether these two city lords chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light when they saw that the situation was not good.

All of this needs to be verified slowly after the fact.

However, on the whole, the results are still good, all the Jiuli strongholds they have mastered have been broken through, and there is not a single omission, and none of the many Jiuli remnants have escaped.

"The city masters immediately counted the gains and compared them with the data held by the Demon Slaying Division to see if there were any discrepancies!"

After Yue Feihe gave the order, the masters of the five cities immediately started the statistics, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to report the gains of their respective cities.

"Master Yu, I, Nanke City, have destroyed a total of five Jiuli strongholds, killed 238 Jiuli remnants, and captured 97 people."

"I, Seven Seas City, destroyed six Jiuli strongholds, killed 333 Jiuli remnants, and captured 128."

"I flew to Cloud City, destroyed five Jiuli strongholds, killed 418 Jiuli remnants, captured 10 people, and killed 572 rebellious people in the City Lord's Mansion."

"I, Julu City, smashed ten strongholds, killed 390 people in Jiuli, captured 23 people, and killed 384 rebels in the City Lord's Mansion."

"I, Heiyan City, destroyed seven strongholds, killed 480 people and captured 94 people."

With the report of the five masters, the council hall suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of several people breathing.

Because, something happened!

Don't look at the five cities that have won a lot, but this is not in line with the situation they have mastered, at least, each city has lost half of the Jiuli remnants.

"Interrogate their respective captives immediately!"

Yue Feihe stood up from his chair and said with a cold face: "I don't care what method you use, I want to know where these disappeared Jiuli remnants have gone within an hour!" ”

"Yes!" The masters responded.

After instructing the Master of the Five Cities, Yue Feihe's face had become heavy.

Half of the Nine Remnants have disappeared, and no matter why these Nine Remnants have suddenly left their respective strongholds, or what their purpose is, it will be an unknown danger, because this force is enough to overturn a city.

The five deputy directors of Jiaodong County naturally couldn't sit still at this time, and they all sent stern orders to the city they were responsible for, and they must find out where the disappeared Jiuli remnants had gone as soon as possible.

After all, there was a major mistake in the plan, and several of them could not escape the blame.

......

Blackwater City, the City Lord's Mansion.

"What? The Demon Slayer has raided our strongholds in various cities! ”

Just when the Demon Slayer Division launched an attack on the remnants of the Five Cities and Nine Li, the seventh, eighth, and ninth days of the first month all received summons from their subordinates.

"Could it be that the Imperial Court already knows about our blood sacrifice plan?" Chu Qi asked in a deep voice.

"Impossible, our plan is seamless, and there is absolutely no possibility of exposure."

Hachiho disagreed. He prefers that this is just a joint operation launched against them by the Demon Slayer Division after discovering their stronghold.

Chu Jiu nodded and said, "What Lao Ba said is right, our plan is absolutely hidden, and there is absolutely no possibility of being discovered." ”

"So what do we do now? Will it still be carried out according to the original plan? ”

Next, after a short discussion about this mutation, the three of them unanimously decided to abandon the original planned time and carry out the blood sacrifice in advance.
