Putting aside the death of Ying Mengze, Shen Yuelan's reinforcements finally arrived to her during this period. Seeing Shen Yuelan's dusty appearance, Hua Liluo and Gan Yuelong, two disrespectful old guys, laughed at her.

[Hahaha, I didn't expect that our invincible "Big Devil" back then would be in such a state today. I heard that you were accompanied by four or five enchanting ladies on this mission, and later you were supported by Du Juan and others. We thought we had nothing to worry about.]

[I didn't expect you to be in such a miserable state. Only Huanyan, Dujuan, Suyi, and Duling are left by your side. Eh? That's not right? Where are the others? Where is Suxin?]

It would have been fine if Gan Yuelong hadn't mentioned it, but when she asked, Su Yi, who had been suppressing her emotions, suddenly burst into tears, and actually managed to hold back most of Gan Yuelong's mocking words.

[Alright, alright, Yue Long, please stop making sarcastic remarks. Yue Lan's losses this time are indeed heavy, and even several of her capable concubines have been killed. I guess she can't stand your jokes at the moment.]

Only then did Gan Yuelong realize that among the demon beauties who died in the battle of Shen Yuelan, there was actually one of her acquaintances. Knowing that she had said something wrong, she wiped her nose guiltily and did not mention the matter again. Instead, she asked about the great demon.

[Su Xin has been diligent over the years, and has even reached the level of a demon king in recent years. Logically, she shouldn't be killed by that demon in a single encounter.]

[Alas, no one expected that guy had already reached the level of Demon King and was also a warrior. Du Juan alone was not only unable to defeat him, but was actually pushed back. Even Du You and the others were in danger of death. It was a great shame. I, Shen Yuelan, have never fought such a cowardly battle in my life.]

[Okay, okay, now is not the time to feel regretful or sad. We have to kill that evildoer completely before the death of Su Xin and the others will be meaningful. Losers will not be remembered. Only victory can wash away all shame.]

Hua Liluo is indeed an old hand. Her remarks instantly aroused the bloodiness of the crowd. No one wants their death to be meaningless, and no one wants the death of their companions to be meaningless.

Then, there is only one way: victory.

Hua Liluo and the others naturally did not come alone. They knew how difficult it was to kill a demon queen at the demon king level. Therefore, both of them brought the strongest level of combat power.

Shen Yuelan didn't see anyone below the Demon King in this expedition.

But it was precisely because of Hua Liluo and others' caution that Shen Yuelan's regret became even more extreme. Hua Liluo and others were so cautious when facing a demon king, so her previous impulse was not just stupidity.

That's really stupid.

Shen Yuelan's evaluation of herself fell to a new low at this time.

However, no matter how much she blames herself, she still has to take revenge. Shen Yuelan still has the Ghost Emperor Du Juan on hand, so she is at least qualified to join this hunt and will not be kicked out.

As Su Xin, Du Ling and the others had limited cultivation, and Shen Yuelan really didn't want to lose the remaining manpower, she sent them back to the Quanxin world, leaving only Du Juan and Huan Yan with her.

Hua Liluo and the others had originally planned to hold a combat meeting first, design an ambush or something, and proceed step by step, but the transformed demon obviously did not give them the time.

After enjoying Ying Mengze, Yihua Yao was not satisfied, so he thought of capturing Shen Yuelan and others to have a good meal, but he didn't expect that he would run into the expeditionary army from the other world on this trip.

When the Yihua demon saw that the other side had more people and more power, he fled again. This familiar scene made Shen Yuelan's mouth twitch, but since Hua Liluo and others did not take any action, she did not dare to be smart anymore.

[Director Hua, we have already alerted the enemy. What do you think we should do now? ]

[Hmph, no hurry, let her enjoy her free life for a while. Once our naval gun positions are set up, she will be killed without a burial place even if she is the king of heaven.]

[Is the firepower covering the entire area? Are we using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? We still need this place.]

[It doesn't matter. This guy has destroyed the people of Yan and Zhao. We need to make major repairs anyway. These little things won't hurt.]

Chapter 278: Wealthy and Powerful

[Humph, the Time Administration is indeed very wealthy. When will the Otherworld Administration show some favoritism towards our Currency Administration?]

[With great power comes great responsibility. Yuelong, if you want to get more funding, you have to work harder. As it happens, I still have a few tasks to complete. Would you like to take them over? ]

[Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything. Less trouble is worse than more. The higher-ups are always asking for accountability, so how can we easily get the small amount of funding?]

[Alas, it is good that you can figure it out. Being a civil servant in the other world is not as good as it used to be. The more you do, the more mistakes you make.]

[Why, do you want to withdraw? ]

[It's only a matter of time, isn't it? When you really stand up, I will be able to do what I want to do, so, Yuelong, you have to work harder. ]

[Huh? Wait, let’s not talk about my current grades, even with my years of service, I should have retired a long time ago, right? Shouldn’t you have said this to Yue Lan? ]

[Yue Lan? She is still young. No one in the other world would let a child of a few years old take charge. As for your length of service, that is not a problem. I will apply to the Retirement Affairs Bureau someday and let you delay your retirement for tens of thousands of years.]

[Oh my god! Hua Liluo, if you dare to play tricks on me like this, I will dig up your ancestors' graves! ]

Looking at the master and disciple bickering in the tent, Shen Yuelan sighed deeply. In addition to being occupied by the current task, a considerable part of her mind was also involved with Du You and others whose life or death was unknown.

Although it was inappropriate, Shen Yuelan still wanted to return to the battlefield to see how they were doing. After all, they were master and servant, so she had to do something for them. If they were alive, she would rescue them, but if they were dead, well, it seemed there was no need to collect their bodies.

But it seems too risky to run out with only the two men under his command. It would be better to discuss it with Sister Yuelong. Several people have already been killed, and Huanyan and Dujuan must not lose their lives again because of their momentary negligence.

Gan Yuelong thought about Shen Yuelan's request again and again, and finally did not agree to her proposal to go alone. Instead, he sent a powerful team with three demon king-level demon concubines to search and rescue.

[Du You was sealed by you, there may be a chance of recovery, but the other two are probably in danger, you should be mentally prepared.]

[Of course, I had expected this, but I just wanted to completely give up on this idea.]

[By the way, can those naval guns really kill the Demon King? Not to mention that this beast is fierce, ordinary guns and cannons can't get close to her. Even if they really hit her, they won't cause much damage. Isn't it a waste of ammunition? ]

[Don't worry, the reason why the naval gun is called a naval gun is because it is removed from a battleship. The battleship here is a void battleship, not a surface ship. ]

[You should be very clear about the firepower of the Yuelong. This batch of naval guns is not inferior to that of the Yuelong. They are the good stuff that Hua Shi just brought back. Before you asked for help, she was showing off to me. ]

[Hehe, as soon as your message arrived, she immediately ordered people to move this batch of arms here, in order to test the power of this batch of goods. Let me tell you, our slow action is somewhat related to moving this stuff, don't blame me.]

[Hmph, what right do I have to blame you? It's good enough that you are willing to help me. But I think you may need to explain to Zhiwei and the others, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well at night.]

[Hiss, you see, you still have complaints, right? It's just a few enchantresses, high-level ones are hard to find, and low-level ones are plentiful. I'll find two more for you that day.]

[Hmph, don't change the subject, is that the same thing? Really, there is no sincerity at all. ]

[Haha, okay, okay, sincerity, I will give you sincerity, but we can talk about this matter after we return to the inner world, okay? You are asking me for compensation now, but I really can't give it to you.]

【I'll let you go for now. 】

Shen Yuelan still understands the principle of knowing when to quit. As Shen Yuelan just said, she is actually not qualified to blame anyone. After all, she is a person seeking help, and it is a great favor that someone is willing to help.

But Gan Yuelong's meaning just now was very clear. She was planning to take the opportunity to give Shen Yuelan some benefits. If that was the case, wouldn't Shen Yuelan be ungrateful if she didn't accept it?

After thinking it over, Shen Yuelan still climbed up the steps given by Gan Yuelong. As for what kind of compensation Gan Yuelong planned to give her, she didn't care. After all, it was a windfall, so she just took whatever was given.

However, Shen Yuelan estimated that the so-called compensation was most likely from the naval guns on the position. Judging from Gan Yuelong's words just now, she was planning to ask Hua Liluo for some of it back.

And they might be assigned a few subjects. Looking at those big guys with ordinary looks, Shen Yuelan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

[Is this thing really that good? Well, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, we'll know when the time comes. ]

Back to the moment when Lu Zhiwei was just shot down, at the moment of being knocked away, Lu Zhiwei thought he was dead, but he did not expect that the opponent did not give him any form of finishing blows. Instead, he gave up on him and chased in the direction where Ying Mengze escaped.

However, even if the other party let him go and was shot down from a height of hundreds of meters, Lu Zhiwei still had one foot in the gate of the underworld. Fortunately, it was only half a foot.

She lay on the ground for several days before she finally managed to regain control of her body. This was the advantage of being a beauty. As long as she was not dead, there was always a way to come back to life.

Although she managed to get up, Lu Zhiwei's mobility was almost zero and she couldn't run far. If the monster turned back, she would surely die. Therefore, she planned to look for the talisman that sealed Du You nearby.

Du You is a Ghost King after all, and he didn't suffer much damage before being sealed. Putting other things aside, it should be no problem for him to take me away and escape.

But this primeval forest was much larger than Lu Zhiwei had imagined. Even though she had memorized the location where the talisman fell, she still found nothing.

Just when she was about to collapse and give up, she inadvertently looked up and discovered the purpose of her trip. It turned out that Du You's talisman had been hanging above her head.

This made Lu Zhiwei both angry and amused, but since he was stupid, he could only accept his fate.

Du You was quickly released by Lu Zhiwei, but even such a simple action had exhausted Lu Zhiwei's last bit of physical strength. She fainted again before Du You could wake up.

Du You, who had not yet figured out the situation, fought alone for a long time before realizing that the Yihua demon he had just been fighting had long disappeared. Only Lu Zhiwei, who looked quite miserable, was lying nearby, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Although she hadn't figured out the situation yet, Du You knew that they absolutely could not stay here any longer. She picked up Lu Zhiwei and fled towards the north. She planned to go around the north and then look for Shen Yuelan and the others. It would be easy to run into the enemy if she chased them directly.

This was indeed the case. Not long after Du You left, the demon that had hit a wall with Shen Yuelan flew back, but failed to find the [reserve food] she had abandoned there.

[Damn it, he's not dead yet? ]

Chapter 279: Death of a Demon

Du You and Zhi Wei, who escaped death, fled all the way north and found a small Donghu tribe, where they hid. Although both of them were still alive and well, they actually had serious internal injuries. After days of fleeing in a panic, their wounds burst again.

It was already difficult for them to continue escaping, so they had to find a fishing and hunting tribe, hide there, and recuperate. What they didn't know was that the search and rescue team sent by Shen Yuelan and Gan Yuelong had already arrived at the scene of their previous battle.

There, apart from a broken yellow talisman, the search and rescue team did not find any clues related to them. They didn't even encounter the transformed monster that they had brought back not long ago.

However, although the mission objective was not achieved, the broken talisman should be enough to get the job done, the leading civil servant from the other world thought so. But things did not go as planned, just when they were about to return home.

A hungry guy came to the door again. He had been lying in ambush here for a long time and even cleaned up the traces he left behind, just to capture another demon girl to fill his stomach.

The demon was not greedy and planned to leave after completing this task. However, if she wanted to escape from this time and space, she needed enough energy. Therefore, she had to kill another demon king-level demon queen before she could escape successfully.

This was also the reason why she turned back to look for the corpse even though she obviously didn't like eating dead prey. But unfortunately, the little demon was faking his death. She was careless for a moment, and Zhiwei and the others escaped. In desperation, she could only take the risk and plan an ambush.

As for who she could ambush, she didn't know. Whoever was unlucky would die.

As a result, a demon girl whose original form was Daoguang Tongbao in the search and rescue team suffered. Although she was found in time by her owner, half of her body was torn off by a demon. Fortunately, the life of Daoguang Tongbao was successfully saved.

The search and rescue team reacted and immediately entered combat status. They were not too surprised by the appearance of the first-transformation demon. After all, in addition to the search and rescue mission, they also had an important task, which was to lure out this first-transformation demon and then surround and annihilate it.

This search and rescue team, although called a search and rescue team, is actually a special forces team of the inner world's tribunal. The tribunal is affiliated with the inner world's Law Administration Bureau and is responsible for trying and hunting down suspects and criminals in major criminal cases in the inner world.

Compared with the Currency Inspection Team in the other world, which is a law enforcement team that is only responsible for civil cases, it is countless times more powerful. Of course, Gan Yuelong would not tell Shen Yuelan these words.

Those search and arrest missions for Shen Yuelan were actually assigned to Shen Yuelan by her. She had never expected that there was a big evil demon involved in criminal activities.

Gan Yuelong glanced at that guy from afar and knew that even if she took action herself, the ending would probably not be a good one.

Therefore, it was not unfair for Shen Yuelan to fail. After all, this beast had far exceeded her duties and abilities in many ways.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Therefore, the Third Inspection Brigade of the Inner World Tribunal made a brilliant appearance. Although this team is called the Third Brigade, it is actually the only one of its kind in the Inner World Tribunal.

The reason why they call it that is because their funny chief thinks that calling it that is more impressive and will make people who don't know the situation think that the Tribunal is very powerful and has three teams in charge. People can't afford to offend them and just surrender.

Although this order was a bit nonsensical, in practice, they did encounter some people who surrendered quickly due to lack of information. Therefore, those who originally had some opinions about this name gradually shut up.

As a team specialized in dealing with criminal offenders, their strength is quite strong. Anyone who does not have a demon queen-level demon girl in his hand would be embarrassed to say that he is a member of the Inquisition.

Therefore, the Yihua demon soon realized that he had hit a tough target. Dozens of demon kings appeared at the same time, staring at the Yihua demon's body with greedy eyes. However, they did not want to eat the Yihua demon.

But it is very rare to see a demon king-level fugitive demon. If they can catch it, it will be a great achievement that will allow them to make a further step forward. Therefore, Yihua Demon was horrified to find that her identity had changed again, from a hunter to a prey again.

Yihuayao wanted to repeat the same trick and escape again, but the Court of Inquisition was not named for nothing. Yihuayao fled for a long time but could not move away from the spot. At this moment, she finally realized that she was trapped.

[Gentlemen, why do you have to force me so much? I just ate a few insignificant little demons. It's not a big deal. If you really want to take my life, then I will have to fight to the death.]

[A fight to the death? Haha, you evil demon are quite interesting. You dare to threaten us with just a low-level demon king? You are not eating a few low-level demons, they are our colleagues. You are attacking the police! ]

[Jiang Luo, Xu Ye, Zhan Ge, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly take it down and wait for it to give birth to a baby? ]

【promise!】

Following the order from the leader, all the members of the Inquisition rushed forward with their enchantresses. No matter how glorious the enchantress had been before, she was outnumbered at the moment and was quickly captured.

[Humph, weren't you very brave just now? Didn't you say you were going to self-destruct? Why did you just surrender? Humph, you don't even have the courage to commit suicide, so this is how your life will end.]

Originally, everything had been settled, and all they had to do was take him back to the high-level prison in the other world and wait for trial. But someone was so mean and said such a mocking remark to the demon.

The spirit of the Yihua demon, which had originally died, was suddenly rekindled by these unintentional words. The Yihua demon, with red eyes, didn't care about anything else and directly stimulated the energy in his demon core, setting off a big firework for everyone in the court of justice.

Soon, Gan Yuelong and others who were far away at the base received news from the search and rescue team. The good news was that they successfully killed the Yihua monster, but the bad news was that they were caught off guard by the Yihua monster's self-detonation and suffered heavy losses.

As for the search and rescue mission, they only found a broken yellow talisman, but based on the energy burst out by the first-level demon, Lu Zhiwei and the others should have escaped successfully, which is also good news.

[Great, Zhiwei and the others are still alive, and Yihua Yao was killed. They are so powerful. Are all the people in the Inquisition so powerful? ]

Gan Yuelong glanced at the stupid disciple who was smiling foolishly while holding the document, and said with a look of disdain that if they were really that powerful, they would not have exploded after being hit in the face by a demon.

[Don't be so crazy about it, Yue Lan. You are the captain of the Currency Inspection Team. The Third Team of the Tribunal is also your competitor for year-end performance. Although you are in charge of different areas, the mission index is there.]

[You don't want the fact that the Currency Inspection Team's performance is not as good as the Tribunal Team's Third Team to be made public, right?]

【ha? 】

Chapter 280 Search and Rescue Work

Although Gan Yuelong's threat was as weak and powerless as fresh dog shit and did no harm at all, it still smelled bad. No matter how reluctant Shen Yuelan was, she could only pinch her nose and say that she understood and that she would find a way to improve the team's performance.

However, these trivial matters had to be put aside for the time being. Her top priority now was to find Du You and the others. Although the unnamed demon had already been beaten to death by the Tribunal, no one knew whether Lu Zhiwei and the others were injured and how seriously they were injured.

If she was a step late due to her negligence and caused any of the three of them to get into trouble, Shen Yuelan would regret it to death.

Yes, even now, Shen Yuelan and others still don't know the news of Ying Mengze's death. After all, a Yihua demon is a guy who likes to eat his own kind. If he is killed by her, there will be nothing left.

Now that the external threat had been eliminated and there was no longer any threat to her life, Shen Yuelan, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, set out on a journey to find her companions with her followers.

Gan Yuelong naturally could not deny this, but she also gave some instructions to Shen Yuelan. She asked Shen Yuelan and others to return to the camp or leave the Warring States Period within half a year, because by then, the major revision work of the Time Management Bureau would begin.

They must withdraw from this world before then, otherwise, their existence will have an adverse impact on the effect of historical correction, thus causing some necessary troubles, and these troubles may ultimately be blamed on Shen Yuelan.

[I understand, Sister Yuelong, but if you follow this statement, if I can't find the subordinates left here, wouldn't the bad problems caused by them also be blamed on me? ]

[Don't worry, it won't happen. This mechanism is only effective for civil servants in the other world and their contractors. Other people or enchantresses will be directly wiped out. ]

[Huh? Since the Great Correction is so powerful, why do we have to go to so much trouble to capture a demon? Wouldn't it be better to just correct her? ]
