Fire Monster

Chapter 220 So terrifying

"What did you say? The Liu Camp gave up its combat mission!"

Within the first line of defense, in a not-so-conspicuous but level-five Imperial Seal bunker, Fan Yi, the deputy commander of the Ninth Brigade, quickly received relevant information.

"Great! I knew that little bastard Zhao Guanshan couldn't hold on any longer. Hahaha! Great! He actually dared to give up the combat mission!"

Fan Yi could not help but burst out laughing, and then went straight to another Imperial Seal Bunker to meet the commander of the 9th Brigade, Zeng Gongran. This was another powerful figure in the North Camp of the Demon Suppression Division, and he only needed to take one more step up to become a standard high-ranking official of the Demon Suppression Division.

However, the other party is already 87 years old, a relatively rare four-seal martial artist. In three years, he will need to retire with honors.

So, usually I don't care about it anymore.

But the Liu Camp openly defied military orders. Even though they were not the main combat camp, this incident was very serious and had to be reported.

"Your subordinate greets the old master!"

Fan Yi respectfully performed the etiquette as a subordinate. This was the elder of their Ninth Brigade, and no matter how respectful he was, it would not be excessive.

"What's the matter?"

Zeng Gong, who was old and white-haired, sat at the head of the table and seemed to have just taken a nap. He looked kind, amiable and amiable.

"Reporting to the old sir, Liu Yuwei from the Liu Camp just gave up the combat mission and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the brigade's arrangement. In addition, they seemed to have adopted a clever approach. I don't know how to comment on this when I heard it."

Fan Yi reported with a wry smile.

"Oh, what kind of cleverness?"

Zeng Gongran raised his eyes slightly. In important military matters, he could actually use clever tricks. This in itself was a contempt for military law, contempt for the rules of the Demon Suppression Division, and contempt for the laws of the Taoist Palace!
"Reporting to the old sir, their specific operation is as follows. Liu Yuwei first received the combat documents, and then used the combat documents to open the Demon Suppression Network. However, Liu Yuwei herself did not enter the first line of defense. Instead, the Liu Camp's supervisor, the Qi Refiner Xiao Chengyun, led a group of people to enter."

"Afterwards, Xiao Chengyun directly used her privileges as a Qi Refiner to apply to the Dao Palace and form her own team. According to Dao Palace Order No. 9821, if a third-level Qi Refiner can have a team that can independently kill ninth-level evil demons, then they are qualified to fight on the first line of defense and only need to cooperate with the Demon Suppression Division in their operations without being restricted—"

"Why is there such a rule? It is ridiculous that it is not under the control of the Demon Suppression Division! The entire first line of defense is the territory of our Demon Suppression Division. If anyone wants to do this, it will be a mess!"

Zeng openly said angrily, like an angry lion, the power of the Four Seal Martial Arts Master was still there.

Fan Yi understood this very well. He was happy in his heart, but replied bitterly: "Old sir, this rule was just something Dao Palace said casually. After all, it doesn't exist at all. It is impossible for any Qi Refiner to be so stupid as to dare to fight independently without the support of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Do they want to be on par with the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

"Who would have thought that they would discover and exploit the loophole in this rule? But please rest assured, old man, since these people are so bold and want to find another way, it won't be long before they will suffer the consequences and have no choice but to withdraw, so they won't cause any trouble."

"What is really annoying is Liu Yuwei from the Liu Camp. Even though she is already a third-level Qi Refiner, this behavior of disrespecting combat orders is enough to punish them. I suggest that we first revoke the Liu Camp's qualification as a combat camp and expel them from the Demon Suppression Division. Then they will automatically be downgraded to ordinary civilians and be under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary!"

"Then, we will forcibly recruit those civilians in their city who have no merits. Do they dare to resist? If they dare to resist, they will violate the laws of the Dao Palace..."

As Fan Yi spoke, he observed the changes in Zeng Gongran's expression, but unfortunately, he saw nothing, and the old man returned to his previous appearance.

This old fox!
"I am tired, you take care of this matter!"

Zeng openly did not give any advice and left the matter to Fan Yi.

It is even more impossible to give Fan Yi any advice.

You figure it out yourself. If you do it well, it's your credit. If you mess it up, you'll be responsible for it.

"Yes!"

"Subordinates resign!"

Fan Yi retreated respectfully, but he was actually cursing in his heart.

He could naturally guess what Zeng Gongran was thinking.

The Demon Suppression Division is currently secretly conducting a pilot test of a model without military supervisors. It does not want to overly stimulate the Qi Refining class at this time.

The Liu Camp just happened to have these two Qi Refiners. They themselves were not a concern, but if matters got out of hand, it would make some of the Qi Refiners united against the enemy, and that would be bad.

"Humph, I won't kill them all, but I am good at killing people with a blunt knife. When the no-supervisory military model is promoted on a large scale, it can be solved with just a document."

After returning to his Chiyin bunker, Fan Yi thought for a moment and then drafted a document on mobilizing troops, in which he wrote down the fact that the Liu Camp was arrogant and domineering. At the same time, he tactfully said that the Ninth Brigade really found it difficult to command such domineering soldiers. He heard that the Third Brigade was in urgent need of reinforcements, so he suggested transferring them to the Third Brigade.

There will definitely be no punishment or anything like that.

There was no need to report to the highest department of the North Camp of the Demon Suppression Division, the North Town Seal Office. First, let the Liu Camp have a bad reputation among the middle-level people of the North Camp. Once everyone hates them, it will be easier to operate. In half a year at most, the Liu Camp can be stripped of its name, driven out of the Demon Suppression Division, and reduced to ordinary people. Then, they can be forcibly conscripted and led to violent resistance to the law, and then forced to demolish the houses. Anyway, with a combination of punches, the foundation built by Zhao Guanshan can be taken over by the Fan family's business.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother Zhao. If it weren't for him coming up with the idea, he wouldn't have been able to find such a profitable business.

As for making a fuss to the higher-ups, he would never give them the chance to do so.

When it comes to Qi Refiners, the top leaders will not go too far.

“Hehe! As the saying goes, disciplining people is like cooking a fresh fish. Although I am not good at it, I can imitate you. It is more than enough for me to deal with you.”

-

"The Dao Palace has agreed. From now on, as long as we can kill a ninth-level evil demon independently, we will be qualified to fight on the first line of defense."

"Unfortunately, the Ninth Brigade will most likely not guide a ninth-level demon to us, and we are not in the combat sequence of the Beidaying. Under normal circumstances, we can only return empty-handed."

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun was holding his identity jade card. They had been waiting here for almost an hour. Other battle camps and defense areas were fighting fiercely, but only their place was quiet because there was no Demon Suppression Net to guide and split the ninth-level evil demon over.

Even the placement of the tenth-level demon was changed.

However, neither Zhao Guanshan nor Xiao Chengyun were too worried about this. The former even observed with great interest the operating rules of the many demon-suppressing nets within the first line of defense.

The so-called first line of defense is not composed of a single demon-suppressing net, but layer upon layer of demon-suppressing nets.

For example, their ten-mile-long defense zone is actually an area that is ten miles wide from north to south and twenty miles long from east to west. It is a small demon-suppressing network.

When a battle is needed, the main control of the Demon-Suppressing Net will cut out a ninth-level evil demon from the depths of the real front line and drag it over like a big net catching fish. Then the ninth-level evil demon will be trapped in the Demon-Suppressing Net and they can kill it calmly.

They have long been happy to see this process.

Of course, the defensive performance of these small demon-suppressing nets cannot be comparable to that of the main demon-suppressing net and they can be easily torn apart.

"Everyone, get ready for battle! Let's go!"

Xiao Chengyun shouted loudly. From now on, she was the protagonist in public, and Zhao Guanshan needed to keep a low profile as much as possible because the identity jade card would record the whole process.

The four chariots roared forward, and at the moment they were about to reach the Demon-Suppressing Net ahead, Xiao Chengyun swung the sword in his hand, and the Qianjin sword energy flew out, cutting the Demon-Suppressing Net apart.

At the same time, a message appeared on her identity jade token.

[Punishment! Deduct 5000 merit points and 100 Dao Palace contribution points]

"It's not extortion if there's a price! It's great!"

Xiao Chengyun was full of heroic spirit, standing on the top of the chariot, holding a long sword, looking extremely domineering. Next, whenever he encountered the Demon-Suppressing Net in front of him, he would cut it open with the Qianjin Sword Qi. He was arrogant, domineering, and deliberate.

Because this time she doesn't need to hold back. The more aggressive she is at the front line, the less pressure Liu Yuwei in the back will have to bear.

Just like this, the four chariots advanced forward continuously for a hundred miles, and Xiao Chengyun also cut through five demon-suppressing nets. The punishment information also came five times, but because she was a Qi Refiner, the Demon-Suppression Division could do nothing to her. Only the Taoist Palace could punish her. However, once this matter was reported, it would take at least three to five months to deal with it.

At that time, do you want the Taoist Palace to investigate this matter strictly, or do you want the Taoist Palace to investigate this matter strictly?
"Too arrogant, too arrogant!"

The commander of the 8th Brigade of the North Camp of the Demon Suppression Division was so angry that he started cursing, because the Demon Suppression Nets that had been cut open belonged to the 8th Brigade, and this defense zone originally belonged to the 8th Brigade, and they all believed the slander of that old man Fan Yi!

"Don't they just want to fight? Give them a chance. Notify the Demon Suppression Network to dispatch a ninth-level demon and see how you can still be so arrogant!"

"It's too late. They are about to break out of the defense zone of our Eighth Brigade. There is a deep battle zone ahead. What's more, this Xiao Chengyun is quite strong..."

Behind the commander of the Eighth Brigade, a third-level Qi Refiner spoke slowly. He was considered a senior Qi Refiner and had already cultivated eighteen breaths of innate pure yang energy.

However, after taking a distant glance through the telescope at this moment, he knew that he could not beat Xiao Chengyun.

Because he couldn't do it so easily and break the Demon-Suppressing Net with just one sword.

To put it bluntly, this Xiao Chengyun can most likely break the first form of the ninth-order evil demon with just one sword. This is already close to the level of a fourth-level Qi Refiner. No, it should be considered the level of a proper fourth-level Qi Refiner.

However, she is indeed not a fourth-level Qi Refiner, so the only possibility is that the sword in her hand is a Class A sealed magical weapon, and at the same time, she has mastered at least two fourth-level magical powers.

It's so scary!
