Chapter 239 Major Victory
"Ma Datang is your uncle, right?"

Tang Xuanci blew smoke onto the long, horse-like face of a monster, his vision flashing with the comparative data of features displayed on the beaker.

This horse demon was the same one who had been watching a pornographic film with the Sky-Touching Crow. It had tried to escape through the back door earlier, but was caught red-handed by Tang Xuanci, who had surrounded it with his men.

Seeing his confident tone, the horse demon dared not lie and squatted down, obediently nodding in admission.

Tang Xuanci said again:
Where is Ma Datang?

"Without permission from the Heavenly Court, it privately operated casinos, harbored filth and corruption, evaded taxes, and even organized demons to engage in violent lending, murder for profit!"

"The circumstances are so egregious that the main culprit could be sentenced to 'complete annihilation'!"

"Are you... an accomplice or a principal offender?"

Ah this?

The horse demon was startled and wanted to blurt out that the casino wasn't solely under his uncle's control, and that the murders and robberies had nothing to do with the Ma family. Moreover, it was just managing the accounts at the casino, so it was definitely an accomplice!
But the words caught in his throat, and he only stammered:
"I don't know where my uncle is now. He might... have gone to the Demon Mountain in Tibet to scout out a film."

"Grass~"

Tang Xuanci cursed:
"That bastard's got his eye on movies again. He wants to copy everything. And he's even doing research?"

"Isn't all the gameplay in this casino something I invented? Damn it, I copied it pretty thoroughly."

"Lao Tzu invented these games to cultivate character and enrich the spiritual lives of all beings in the Three Realms. This bastard actually used them to poison living beings and amass wealth."

"Let me tell you, it definitely can't escape. If you don't confess now, you'll suffer for nothing once you're in the Ministry of Justice's jail."

Tang Xuanci had placed Ma Datang on his priority list.

Not only because it operates countless casinos and clubs in Baoxiang Kingdom, making it extremely wealthy;
Also, because this guy really has something going for him; his business acumen is quite unique.

The restrictions in this arena that specifically monitor fluctuations in spiritual consciousness and magical power, as well as the gambling tables and equipment used to prevent demons and immortals from cheating using techniques and eyesight, were all developed and improved by a team assembled at great expense.

Because it knows that "anti-cheating measures" are crucial to casinos in the realm of immortals and demons.

The Monkey, Pig, and Sandy Brothers can sit at the card table and play happily because the Monkey has good gambling etiquette, doesn't like to cheat, and enjoys the game experience.

Sha Dingtian wasn't playing cards; he was playing social skills and interpersonal relationships.
Only Pig Ritian always tries to pull some tricks, but after all, it has a pair of sharp eyes that are watching it closely, so it doesn't dare to go too far.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be gambling, but a battle of wits. What transvestite with average cultivation would dare enter a casino?

Besides its anti-cheating measures, Ma Dateng's venues have many other competitive advantages, from scale and service to unique features, all of which are top-notch.

It has a large number of monster laborers, its own management team and factories, and has almost turned the entertainment industry into a large-scale operation. It can be called an outstanding entrepreneur in the monster world of Baoxiang Kingdom!
If we can catch it, it will greatly benefit the development of the unique production of the Three Realms.

The horse demon turned pale with fright upon hearing "the prison of the Ministry of Justice".

But whether it's because they won't admit their mistake until they see the coffin, or because they genuinely don't know, they still insist that Ma Dateng may have gone to Tibet, and the specifics are unclear.

Tang Xuanci didn't have time to waste on it for the time being. After confiscating the most valuable accounts and treasures from the Golden Cave, he left most of the immortal constables and officers to continue the investigation, while he escorted it, the Sky-Touching Crow, and dozens of the most powerful demons back to the City God Temple.

After locking them in the dungeon, he gathered some constables and, without bothering to hide, sped off at top speed toward another underground arsenal belonging to the Wanzishan gang.

By this time, word had leaked out, and most of the demons and evil cultivators in the arsenal had fled.

But while the transgender people can run away, the facilities and venues cannot, and there's no time to clean up the traces.

After using the "Enforcement Pearl" specially made by the Heavenly Court to create an image and collect evidence, Tang Xuanci sealed off the entire site, leaving a group of people to guard it, and then sped away.

He only suspended his operation after sealing off four large crime scenes in a row.

On the other side, the monkey also sent a report of victory, saying that it had flattened five demon valleys and caves, killed or maimed eleven demon immortals, more than forty Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators, and countless other lesser demons.

To Tang Xuanci's delight, the monkey directly captured another outstanding entrepreneur from the demon realm on the key list—Niu Chaodong.

It is said that this bull demon was originally named Niu Chaoxi, but later, he turned away from Buddhism and became more Taoist, so he slightly changed his name.

Unlike Ma Datang, Niu Chaodong amassed wealth primarily through smuggling and transportation.

Don't underestimate this business.

Especially in places like Xiniu Hezhou, the difficulty of safely delivering goods across complex and treacherous mountains and rivers is no less than that of transporting goods in China or transporting beautiful women in India.

The transportation route controlled by Niu Chaodong extends from the west bank of the Liusha River in the east to the east bank of the Heishui River in the west, traversing the entire Baoxiang Kingdom.

The White Bone Demon runs to the riverbank; if you need help, ask him for assistance. The human trafficking and smuggling businesses of the Pingdingshan gang also rely entirely on him.

Tonight, the monkeys' first target will be the high-end club in Pingdingshan that features "ordinary people" and "virgins".

It is so popular with the upper-class demons because it offers a wide variety of food and entertainment, and can even replenish one's lifespan with special evil magic.

Then, the monkey pried information from a demon in charge about their transit point for "people and goods" and led his men there, catching up with a group of demons from Pingdingshan and Niu Chaodong's gang.

The fierce winds of Pingdingshan were even more ferocious than those of Wanzishan. They even dared to fight the Monkey King and attempted to break through the encirclement.

Then, the monkeys and their soldiers mowed them down, and none of them escaped.

By this point in Operation Xunkun, the amount of stolen money and goods seized was enough to pay the entire police force of the Ministry of Justice for a hundred years, and the losses inflicted on the two major gangs far exceeded the book value.

Moreover, the arrested demon leaders, double-flower red sticks, and entrepreneurs are like ticking time bombs, ready to explode at any moment to reveal information that is even more detrimental to the two major gangs.

It can be said that this operation achieved significant results, successfully breaking the deadlock in Azhou and setting a good precedent for the special campaign to eliminate evil!

However, Tang Xianwei, who was personally directing operations on the front lines, was still not satisfied.

He sent a message to call for backup, arranged the aftermath, and then sped off to meet up with Monkey.

Then, leading his two most capable celestial messengers and over a hundred comrades who were less skilled but somewhat daring, he marched directly to Lotus Cave on Pingdingshan Mountain—

This is the place that terrifies transgender people in Alberta the most.

As its name suggests, the mountain's top is as if cut by a knife, and it is a vast flat area covered with vegetation.

As its name suggests, the cave is located on the shore of a lake filled with lotus flowers.

Under the night sky, the lake water is as clear as a mirror, the lotus flowers are bathed in moonlight, remain unstained by the foul wind, and are cleansed from evil spirits.

It resembles a sacred Buddhist site.

It was almost dawn, but the Lotus Cave was still brightly lit, and the main hall was in a state of chaos, with little demons occasionally running in from outside the cave to deliver messages.

"What?! My aunt was arrested too?! You bastard—!"

A demon king with silver horns on his head and a majestic appearance rose abruptly from his seat. Upon hearing the fresh news, he could no longer contain himself and roared in fury:

"That bald thief Tang Xuanci is abusing his power, deliberately picking a fight, and retaliating against us."

"You clever and cunning devil, find me another sword that suits my needs. I'm going to kill his henchmen right now, and see who dares to follow him and cause us trouble again!"

The Golden Horned Demon King, who was equally imposing in appearance, quickly waved his hand to stop it, saying:
"Don't be impulsive!"
“That mischievous monkey Sun Wukong was able to break through the sealed jade bottle, which clearly shows that he has regained the ability to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then.”

"If you go rashly, and it happens to be exactly what they want, you might not be able to get away as easily as last time."

"Let's let my second uncle think of a solution first, and wait for news from above before making any further decisions."

"Fortunately, the place they raided has no direct connection to us. As long as the person in the middle is not caught, that bald thief can't possibly pin the blame on us."

Upon hearing this, Silver Horn suppressed his anger and sat back down.

Suddenly, a noise came from the direction of the cave entrance, as if the guards had urgently closed the cave entrance and activated the restriction.

Immediately, a little demon ran over to report that a group of uninvited guests had arrived from outside the mountain on clouds, and they seemed to be wearing celestial robes.

Ah this?

The two demons' expressions changed, but before they could ask any questions, they heard stern words ring out from outside the cave:

"The City God Temple is handling the case!"
"Golden Horn and Silver Horn, you are suspected of violating Article 294 of the 'Divine Retribution Law,' the crime of organizing and leading an evil organization;

Article 240, the crime of trafficking in women, men, and children in the mortal world;

"Article 151, the crime of illegally manufacturing and selling magical artifacts and treasures."

"Open the door immediately and cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cave entrance was hit with a series of loud bangs, each one stronger than the last, causing the entire cave to tremble.
