Hunting God Era

Chapter 119 The person is dead, and all problems are solved.
Bai Rongzu and the other Ningjiang martial artists left to relieve the Jinze City Disinfection Bureau. In just one hour, those who had been specifically asked by Li Ye to stay in Jinze City to exorcise demons also arrived at the mine.

By piecing together various individuals, including the Chen family, those above the Six Dragon Gate level, plus those who resigned from the Disinfection Bureau, totaled more than eighty people. Among them, those above the Second Realm, plus two deputy directors and one director, amounted to thirteen people.

Those who outwardly conduct business honestly and are truly law-abiding are not included in this category; they are all local bullies.

"Move forward, shrink the contaminated area, and head straight into the mine!"

About eighty people, the weak were given weapons and the strong used their own, and with Li Ye's order, they wiped out the demons and retreated inward.

It continues until it reaches the source of the pollution.

It was a well-organized mine entrance, located at the bottom of the mountain.

"You're in the first batch."

Li Ye pointed at Luo Jin, "And those from the former disinfection bureau, get inside."

"Wait, wait!"

Fan Tie, who had followed them, picked up a small night vision camera and handed it to them, saying, "Put it on. Even if you lose your life, at least the intelligence will be transmitted back."

Upon seeing what Fan Tie handed him, Luo Jin couldn't help but beg Li Ye for mercy: "Director Li, Lord Li, spare my life! From now on, I will follow the orders of the Elimination Bureau!"

"I still prefer the way you were before, when you were unruly and tried every means to rebel."

Li Ye sneered: "When you had the upper hand, you were lawless. Now that you're at a disadvantage, you're thinking of begging for mercy. Too late!"

"Go in and pass on the information from inside. If you survive, I won't bother you. If you don't go in, I'll cripple you and make you watch your whole family go in for you."

Li Ye grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "You know, the pest control bureau isn't that great, but their ability to find people is absolutely top-notch. If your family is in the country, it's just a matter of spending a little more time finding them. If they're abroad, it's no big deal either. I'll keep this score in mind, and when I have time to go abroad, I'll kill them."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jin didn't even dare to utter any harsh words. He obediently put the camera on his chest, gritted his teeth, gripped his long sword, and entered the mine.

Seeing this, the others could only obediently go inside, and no one complained.

"You've done a good job as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Fan Tie said, "Others are threatened with their whole family, but you've turned it around and are threatening others with your whole family."

"As long as it works," Li Ye said with a smile.

Threats and intimidation are most effective when used on the whole family.

There must be someone you care about.

not give a damn about?
Kill even if you don't care.

If we get rid of the person, there will be no future troubles or problems.

"Let's see what's going on first."

Fan Tie took out several tablets, opened the interface, and eighteen screens were displayed, glowing green and illuminating the dark mine.

The entrance was unlit; the lights were broken. As for the inside...
"The local area has doubled in size."

Seeing the video's perspective extend from the mine entrance into deeper levels of the mine tunnels, Fan Tie said:
“I’ve looked at the information about the Tongguanshan mine before. The lighting was not that far apart. This one is at least twice as far apart.”

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully, it's not too big. The surface area of ​​Tongguan Mountain hasn't increased, and the mountain itself hasn't grown larger; it must be due to the underground area."

"How do you usually deal with this kind of demonic domain?" Li Ye asked.

"It depends on the situation. Either it's an extremely dangerous demon realm that's not open to the public and can only be suppressed. The reason why the support troops need 30 hours to assemble is not because it's slow, but because the military region itself is located in the demon realm."

Fan Tie said, "If it's a safe Demon Realm, once we confirm whether there are any tokens inside and stabilize the pollution, we'll start the 'bidding' process for the rest."

Exorcising demonic energy is a very time-consuming process, sometimes taking three to five years, and sometimes even more than ten years.

The military also doesn't have enough manpower; they're mostly busy fighting against large-scale demonic domains.

The Demon Realm, which poses less of a threat, allows civilian martial artists to participate.

"A demonic realm that breeds in a mine will most likely produce the same resources. If you say it's from the Ming Dynasty, then it's possible that the demonic realm from the Ming Dynasty combined with this place and then reproduced in reality, expanding its territory, but also giving rise to demons."

"But after the demons are eliminated, there should be a batch of high-quality minerals inside. When martial artists kill demons inside, they will also mine them. Then the higher-ups will only be responsible for trading, purchasing, and regulating."

From an individual perspective, this seems unfair. Why should the military suppress the protests while others reap the benefits?

But from a macro perspective
The meat was rotting in the pot. The truth is, there weren't enough people, so they had to have others fill the gap.

As for who the other person is, whoever has the strength can step up. After all, not just anyone can exorcise demons; at the very least, they need to be able to withstand the pollution before entering the Demon Realm.

Martial artists are not as common as cabbages. Most martial artists don't even have the Six Dragons Gate. Those who have reached that level are sought after everywhere.

Even if you only practice the foundation-building technique, having high Qi and blood can help you resist pollution.

"But there's something interesting here."

Fan Tie thought of something and said:

"There's a chance that the Demon Realm can generate tokens. Obtaining a token is equivalent to having a fiefdom. We don't have any restrictions on this. If we don't intervene, the tokens they obtain are theirs. After all, that would be equivalent to eliminating a Demon Realm. As for the rest, we can just continue with the bidding process as usual."

"Once we're out of the game, the token is no longer their concern. They'll have to hand it over even if they get it, but they'll be compensated."

He looked at Chen Hualong, who was unconscious and had been brought over by Li Ye, and said, "So some people who don't know the true extent of the problem will go in and explore when the Demon Realm is created, to see if they can get the token."

"But more often than not, these overconfident fools die inside, allowing the demonic contamination to spread. Otherwise, if they had reported it earlier, the contamination wouldn't have spread here."

Fan Tie looked at the unconscious Chen Hualong he had brought over and said, "I remember this place was contracted by his family. Surely they didn't want to seal off the land, so they blocked the news? They're really bold."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye also looked at the unconscious Chen Hualong.

That's most likely the case; otherwise, the actions of the pest control bureau would be completely illogical.

Even the weakest disinfection bureau wouldn't be this extreme.

You mean the Ren family of Ningjiang?

If the pest control bureau suspects you of keeping demons, you'd better actually be keeping them.
One was framed, the other was treated as a major enemy.

The Ren family is a formidable enemy.

They're really raising demons!

Two deputy directors and most of the disinfection workers were replaced with fake bodies, and the remaining staff had long been supported by the Ren family and had definitely resigned.

The Chen family may seem powerful, but they are definitely not as powerful as the Ren family.

Jinze City's resources are also quite impressive, with three directors and deputy directors at the second level of cultivation, as well as numerous disinfection personnel at the sixth level or above. They could easily defeat any local tyrant.

They weren't afraid of the Chen family. Did Chen Hualong really dare to storm the Elimination Bureau and kill everyone?
This layer of skin can be beneficial when necessary.

In short, it's absolutely impossible to be forced to resign by someone's words. Most of the time, it's a spiral of mutual struggle and maneuvering to maintain stability.

The pest control department is bullied because it is weak, but no matter how much it is bullied, at most it will only suffer damage to its reputation and lose face.

Moreover, this is all predicated on the local bully taking care of the demons himself.

They believe that the disinfection bureau can do the job without it, which explains the current situation where the disinfection bureau is in a weak position.

On other issues, the strength or weakness doesn't matter; it's simply a matter of whether or not it can be managed.

It is a major taboo to obstruct the extermination bureau on the issue of demons.

If those at the grassroots level can't kill people, can't those at the top?
The fact that the disinfection bureau could get out of control so quickly must mean that the Chen family initiated some kind of backroom deal, and someone accepted it.

Otherwise, how could the bureau chief have disappeared and the deputy bureau chief have resigned?
The head of the data department is being forced to make a statement to the Chen family, requesting that they deal with the demons.

Is this a battle for reputation? Or a cleanup effort to avoid being purged?

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Li Ye glanced at the Chen family members, whose expressions had clearly frozen, and said:
"Who cares what we're supposed to do? Let's just get into the Demon Realm and survive first."

He's here to resolve issues, not to investigate cases, find clues, or justifications; that's the job of the public security bureau, and they're the ones who need to pinpoint the motive.

Again.

When a person dies, all problems disappear.
