It was evident that He Jin had long been battle-hardened.
Hearing such shocking news, he remained composed and thodically analyzed what Baiyu had said.
From beginning to end.
He didn't raise a single question.
He waited patiently until Baiyu finished explaining everything.
Only then did he slowly speak, "A big hand...
If your description is correct, this must have been the leader of the Demon Race personally taking action."
"The leader of the Demon Race?"
Baiyu looked puzzled.
"There are three Demon Kings within the Demon Race. A few years ago, there was a great war where one Demon King was slain and suppressed by our human experts. Now there are only two left, naly the Fourth Celestial Demon King and the Blood Demon King."
He Jin explained in detail: "The constitution of the Demon Race differs from humans, so our cultivation systems are vastly different as well.
But the essence of Blood Qi doesn't change.
The Fourth Celestial Demon King and the Blood Demon King have powers equivalent to the peak of a Tier One Martial Artist among humans."
The peak of a Tier One Martial Artist.
This is the limit of the Martial Dao.
Beyond that, it surpasses human boundaries and belongs to the domain of the gods.
"These beings, born with divine powers.
As they cultivate to this level, their own abilities beco extraordinary.
Therefore, their true power is at least the sum of a Tier One Martial Artist and a Sequence Three Extraordinary."
There was a hint of apprehension in He Jin's eyes.
A Demon King.
At least a Tier One Martial Artist and a Tier Three Extraordinary.
Two paths, both reaching absolute peak positions.
Moreover, the constitution of these beings is even more robust, one can only imagine their overall strength.
No wonder.
Qiu Yun had no strength to resist and was seized into the spatial rift by that big hand.
The disparity in power was too vast.
"However, Baiyu, you don't need to worry. That kind of space-tearing ability, even if activated by a Demon King, cos at a great cost, and Qiu Yun, having been captured, won't be in imdiate danger."
He Jin analyzed thodically: "Qiu Yun is a Tier Two Martial Artist. It's possible to suppress him, but it's not that easy to kill him completely.
Moreover.
The Fourth Celestial Demon King would not take his life just before a battle.
Keeping Qiu Yun is a decision that allows both forward and backward moves.
The most important thing now is.
We must thoroughly clean up Mountain City because the Fourth Celestial Demon King, despite paying such a substantial painful price, aid to capture Qiu Yun and take away the Demon Race mber you had captured.
It can be inferred.
There must be many spies within Mountain City.
And it certainly involves significant entanglents."
He Jin's words were indeed reasonable.
Mountain City had previously been poorly managed.
Because the City Lord Guang Yuanba was inherently unreliable, the Security Bureau had long been suppressed by him.
In the shadows.
Unknown numbers of spies from other races infiltrated it, and probably the entire Mountain City had long been eroded, full of holes.
After Baiyu took over the Security Bureau, the situation began to improve.
However, Baiyu had only recently taken charge.
The gaps within the Security Bureau had only been partially filled; making it completely impervious was practically impossible.
The main responsibility for this lay with the other two departnts.
If not for their tacit consent to Guang Yuanba's previous actions, the Security Bureau would not have been suppressed to this extent.
Fortunately.
Now, Guang Yuanba is finally dead.
As the lord of a city, regardless of being bewitched by other races or for other reasons, taking action against the Sanctuary Spirit is tantamount to seeking death.
The City Lord.
Should protect the Sanctuary Spirit's safety.
"I have just sent the Sanctuary Spirit back to the core area, Director He, you must assign people to closely oversee it.
Moreover, on the side of the Ard Departnt.
Minister Qiu is currently unable to return; we must find soone who can be completely trusted to hold the fort.
Next.
I plan to conduct a major investigation.
The people who intercepted at the city gate ca from the Ard Departnt."
He Jin's eyes darkened. After a mont of silence, he did not speak.
Then.
He nodded solemnly, "Alright, since you wish to do so, then proceed, and I will fully support you."
"Yes, and one more thing, Director He.
The Heavy Fog Forest outside the city has already been infiltrated in many areas by other races, it cannot be underestimated."
"I understand, tonight I will deploy troops to clear it out. As for the matter of Qiu Yun and the appearance of a Demon King, I will imdiately report it to the Imperial Grand Marshal. Baiyu, what you need to do next is to thoroughly handle everything inside Mountain City."
The two of them conversed in the room for a long ti, arranging one matter after another.
Just as they were about to conclude their discussion, suddenly, Shang Yufei hurriedly rushed in.
"What's the matter?"
Baiyu looked at her, "Did a problem arise when you went to detain soone?"
Shang Yufei nodded, "Qiong Xue is arguing with the other party, and several of our people have been injured..."
In an instant.
Baiyu imdiately got up and said, "Minister He, you should have also seen, if we don't employ so special asures, these people will be hard to deal with."
"Do as you see fit.
Currently, the structure of Mountain City must first be stabilized.
With a great battle imminent, anyone playing tricks at this ti can be executed on the spot."
There was an evident killing intent in He Jin's eyes.
Baiyu nodded, knowing that this Director of the Anomaly Bureau was not a man of indecision.
So.
He too could proceed without restraint.
...
On the streets.
Despite the recent unfavorable circumstances, life still had to go on.
Moreover, not everyone was so pessimistic.
The majority were still very confident in Mountain City's combat capabilities.
This was one of the top three shelters in the Imperial rankings.
With a large population and abundant resources.
Experts were countless.
If Mountain City were to fall, then the other shelters in the East Prosperity Empire might be in danger as well.
In fact.
