Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 41

Ch 41: Demon Suppression Agency

“This Demon Suppression Agency, it’s time to deal with it,” Zhou An said.

“The Emperor, the Demon Suppression Agency has always relied on its relationship with the Immortal Hero sects, not taking the country seriously. It should be warned,”

“But when the Great Ancestor Emperor conquered the country, the country was still in chaos, demon disasters were rampant, and the heretical path was rampant. For the sake of national stability, he visited various sects and asked them to send people to guard against demons and monsters, which led to the later Demon Suppression Agency.”

“In order to get the sects to send people, special privileges were granted. The Demon Suppression Agency only needs to eliminate demons that harm the human world and does not accept imperial orders,” the Empress frowned, she was also a little helpless about the Demon Suppression Agency.

“The Demon Suppression Agency has now become a national tumor. This time they attacked the Imperial Concubine, according to the Qianyuan Law, what should be done?” Zhou An asked.

The Empress’s eyes lit up, and she immediately understood Zhou An’s meaning and said, “Attacking the Imperial Family and imprisoning the Imperial Concubine’s disciples should be executed.”

“Go and prepare, wait for the opportunity, I want to rebuild the Demon Suppression Agency. This Qianyuan Soldier Talisman was given to me by the Great Ancestor to protect myself. Now that the Empress is handling national affairs, she needs to protect her own safety. This treasure is bestowed upon you,” Zhou An said.

“Thank you, Emperor,” the Empress saluted, glanced at Zhou An, and felt that this time when he came back, Zhou An gave her a unfathomable feeling, which made her feel awe. Even when facing the Empress Dowager, she did not have such a strong feeling.

“What did the Great Ancestor Emperor do to him that would make him have such a big change?” The Empress was secretly surprised, but she didn’t show it on her face at all.

She took her leave and went back to prepare.

Hua Wuyue took Zhou Ling Sha and quickly flew down in front of the Demon Suppression Agency. It was already surrounded by the Brocade Guard. As soon as the two arrived, they saw a Commander of the Brocade Guard lying on the ground seriously injured. Several Brocade Guards next to him were also seriously injured.

Zhou Ling Sha was furious when she saw this, and rushed up and shouted, “Who did it?”

“Chief Executive Officer, the Demon Suppression Agency is too deceitful. They don’t allow us to approach, and relying on magic treasures, they seriously injured Commander Han,” a female Brocade Guard who had a good relationship with Zhou Ling Sha immediately stepped forward to salute and said angrily.

“Hmph, there is really no one in this Qianyuan Empire. The Emperor is incompetent and lets the Empress attend court. Now another half-grown doll is here to be the Chief Executive Officer? It’s really a joke!” A middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back at the gate of the Demon Suppression Agency, with a look of contempt on his face.

“Presumptuous, don’t forget that the Demon Suppression Agency is also a department of the Qianyuan Empire. How can you know the consequences of slandering the Emperor like this?” Zhou Ling Sha glared at the other party and shouted.

“Consequences? What kind of place is the Demon Suppression Agency? Not to mention this incompetent Emperor, even if the Qianyuan Emperor comes in person, he will have to give way by three points. This time, the Brocade Guard came to be beaten themselves. Tell me, what are the consequences?” The middle-aged man stood proudly sitting at the door, with eight Demon Hunters standing behind him, all with disdain on their faces.

Hua Wuyue was angry. If she didn’t want to make things difficult for Zhou An, she would have taken action directly.

“Ling Sha, do whatever you want, these people are just a bunch of jumping clowns, and they can be taken down at any time.”

After getting Hua Wuyue’s confirmation, Zhou Ling Sha showed joy and immediately said, “According to the Qianyuan Law, Zhang Xiantong, the Demon Hunter Commander of the Demon Suppression Agency, slandered the Emperor, disrespected the Imperial Authority, attacked the Brocade Guard, and arrested the Imperial Concubine’s disciples. He should be executed.”

“Brocade Guard, listen to the order, follow the Imperial Concubine and take down all the Demon Hunters and Zhang Xiantong who just took action, and await orders.”

“Hua Wuyue!” Zhang Xiantong was surprised. He only paid attention to Zhou Ling Sha, the Tenth Princess, and did not see Hua Wuyue in the crowd.

Hua Wuyue stepped forward and shouted coldly, “Release my Hundred Flowers Disciples, and I can spare your life.”

“Hmph, Hundred Flowers Valley has already been destroyed. With just you, Hua Wuyue, what can you do to me? No, you are a Flower Spirit, and you have become an Imperial Concubine. You are so bold that you have committed such a heaven-defying crime. Haha, Hundred Flowers Valley is really unrepentant. It seems that we don’t need to take action, and the Righteous Path can’t tolerate you,” Zhang Xiantong laughed after being surprised.

Hua Wuyue showed anger, raised her right hand, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Mystic Light Flying Sword flew out from her palm, and a columnar sword light of Ten Thousand Flowers rushing appeared.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Mystic Light Immortal Sword is very famous in the Immortal Cultivation World. Back then, the Hundred Flowers Fairy relied on this Immortal Sword to become one of the top Great Powers, and even the Devil Capital did not dare to appear in front of her.

Of course, Zhang Xiantong recognized this Immortal Sword, and his face changed drastically after seeing it.

“Hua Wuyue, I am the Commander of the Demon Suppression Agency, how dare you!”

Hua Wuyue directly pointed her palm at them, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Light rushed out. Eight Demon Hunters stepped forward, formed seals with their hands, and the treasures around their waists flew out, turning into talisman shields to block in front of them.

But when they touched the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Light, these talisman shields that were specially used to deal with demons were instantly pierced, and the eight people spat out blood at the same time and flew backwards, falling on the steps.

If Hua Wuyue hadn’t not intended to kill anyone, these eight people would have been cut into pieces by the Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Light.

Zhang Xiantong panicked, pointed his sword with his finger, and the heavy flying sword on his back was unsheathed and flew out, and cursed seals appeared on the sword, emitting electric light.

But as soon as this flying sword flew up, Hua Wuyue flicked her hand, and the Hundred Flowers Sword Light cut it into more than a dozen pieces and fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiantong’s face turned green with heartache, and just as he was about to curse angrily, thousands of flower petal sword lights rushed towards him.

He quickly knelt down and shouted, “Imperial Concubine, spare my life.”

At this time, these petals stopped, each of them emitting sword light, only a few centimeters away from Zhang Xiantong’s skin. If he was a little slower, he would definitely be turned into minced meat.

Zhang Xiantong was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, kneeling on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, not daring to move.

Hua Wuyue waved her hand, and thousands of flower petals retracted into her palm and disappeared. The Purple Guard were all stunned, and Zhou Ling Sha immediately shouted, “What are you still doing? Take them down.”

“Yes,” the Brocade Guard shouted this time with special confidence, their voices were loud, and they rushed up to lock the people from the Demon Suppression Agency with iron chains.

Hua Wuyue took the lead and walked into the hall of the Demon Suppression Agency. All the Demon Hunters inside had already lined up. The other two Commanders here also came out, looking at Hua Wuyue with nervous expressions.

The Immortal Sword appeared, and Zhang Xiantong had no ability to resist, which made them know that Hua Wuyue was by no means someone they could contend with.

“Hua Wuyue, you dare to attack the Demon Suppression Agency. Do you know that our Demon Suppression Agency is jointly established by various sects of the Righteous Path? If you dare to attack us, you are an enemy of the Qianyuan Righteous Path,” a Commander shouted loudly, with obvious fear in his eyes.

“Hundred Flowers Valley has now been renamed Hundred Flowers Palace and belongs to the Emperor. You have arrested Hundred Flowers Palace disciples for no reason, insulted the Emperor, and seriously injured the Brocade Guard. You have already committed a serious crime. Even if the various sects of the Righteous Path know about it, so what? Could it be that they will be enemies with the entire Qianyuan Empire for your sake! Kill millions of Qianyuan soldiers, may I ask, who has the guts to bear such karma!” Hua Wuyue questioned loudly.

After saying this, the two Commanders didn’t know what to say. At this moment, the three people in charge of the sects who were hiding behind and participating in this matter were all sweating profusely.

“Hua Wuyue, do you know that humans and demons have different paths, and committing such a heaven-defying thing cannot be saved by an Emperor,” a gray-robed man flew down from the sky above the hall, stroked his gray beard and said.

“My marriage with the Emperor is destined by heaven. The Leader of the Righteous Oneness Sect, Jian Sect, and Heavenly Path Sect all know about this. If it weren’t for the Drunken Taoist’s introduction, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet the Emperor. Taoist Friend Zhu, what else do you want to say?” Hua Wuyue said.

Hearing this surprised Zhu Zihai, and the excuse he used to attack her suddenly disappeared, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.

“Immediately release the disciples of this sect, don’t blame me for not thinking about the friendship of fellow Taoists and starting a massacre,” Hua Wuyue raised her hand, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Mystic Light Immortal Sword rushed out, the sword light soaring into the sky, and the Demon Suppression Agency building was directly penetrated by the sword light, and the guardian formation was penetrated with one blow. The Demon Hunters were horrified to see such power.

Zhu Zihai’s face twitched, and he tried his best to restrain the shock in his heart, looking at the Ten Thousand Flowers Mystic Light Immortal Sword in Hua Wuyue’s hand with jealousy.

“This time it was a misunderstanding, release the disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley,” Zhu Zihai waved his hand helplessly to release the people.

After a while, the disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley were released, and they all showed joy when they saw Hua Wuyue, and ran over and called out Eldest Disciple.

Hua Wuyue asked, “How is everyone now? Are you injured?”

“Eldest Disciple, we are fine, we were just locked up here. But they are really hateful, they framed us, saying that we absorb the essence of ordinary people, and they arrest people directly without investigating,” Yingchun complained angrily.

Zhu Zihai said with a helpless smile, “It was the people below who listened to slander that they made a mistake. I apologize to you all here and will definitely compensate you for your losses.”

Hua Wuyue looked at Zhou Ling Sha and asked her what she meant, she didn’t understand national law.

Zhou Ling Sha waved her hand and said, “The Emperor is very angry about this matter and ordered a thorough investigation. Commander Zhu should be prepared by then. I will take Zhang Xiantong and the eight Demon Hunters back to the Emperor first.”

Zhu Zihai’s face changed when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, “We have already released the people, are you still arresting people? Don’t forget that the Demon Suppression Agency is not subject to imperial orders.”

“Yes, the Demon Suppression Agency can disobey the Emperor’s imperial edict, but it doesn’t say that the Demon Suppression Agency can knowingly break the law, publicly insult the Emperor, disrespect national law, and injure the Brocade Guard. This matter is still up to the Emperor. Commander Zhu doesn’t really plan to confront the Emperor head-on, does he? This is treason, and your nine generations will be exterminated!” Zhou Ling Sha said with a smile.

“I dare not, please be merciful, Chief Executive Officer, and say a few good words in front of the Emperor, and I will definitely repay you,” Zhu Zihai had to bow his head. In the past, the Imperial Family had no Immortal Cultivators, so they could naturally do whatever they wanted, and the Emperor did not dare to do anything to them.

But now that Hua Wuyue is here, killing them is like killing pigs and dogs, and they have to bow their heads.

Watching the Brocade Guard take Zhang Xiantong and others away, the people from the Demon Suppression Agency dared to be angry but dared not speak.

After they left, Zhu Zihai flicked his sleeves and returned to the back hall.

As soon as he came in, the people in charge of the three small sects and several disciples stood up, all with worried expressions on their faces.

“Commander Zhu, what should we do now? Hua Wuyue is on the Emperor’s side, so if this matter is investigated, everyone will be finished.”

“That’s right, the Immortal Treasure, plus Hua Wuyue’s cultivation level seems to be not low, I’m afraid the three of our sects combined are not her opponent.”

After Zhu Zihai sat down, he thought for a while, and then glanced at the people here and said, “Hua Wuyue must not be kept. Whether she can be eliminated depends on you.”

“Us?” The people from the three sects frowned, thinking that Zhu Zihai wanted them to be the scapegoats.

“Hua Wuyue is a demon, marrying the Emperor is against the Heavenly Path. Regardless of whether it is a marriage destined by heaven, small and medium sects do not have the ability to peep into the secrets of heaven, so if you can unite the small and medium sects and use the excuse of violating the Heavenly Path, then you won’t have to worry about Hua Wuyue not dying.

Even if Hua Wuyue has an Immortal Sword, can she fight against all the sects in the world? If the Emperor wants his own country, he will never dare to fight against the various sects,” Zhu Zihai said with a smile.

“Good idea, it just so happens that many sects are gathering in Qian Capital this time. We will go and contact them, and spread the news this time. I want the Emperor to apologize publicly and make him lose face,”

These people all showed joy and left through the back door.
