Sima Liu obviously did not discuss with Zhixi, but informed him. So before Zhixi could reply, the black mist he used to protect the followers of the Devil's Cult suddenly exploded and spread in all directions.
The followers of the Devil's Cult had no idea what was going on. When they saw the black mist covering their bodies suddenly disappear, they couldn't help but stop and look at Zhixi who was leading the way.
When Zhixi saw this, she couldn't help but stop. Then she coughed and said in a deep voice, "I have been running for three hours, now I am resting in place."
The followers of the Devil's Cult who could be taken away by Zhixi were all the awakened members of the Miaohua tribe. They themselves were of the same race as Zhixi. Before their awakening, they took orders from Zhixi, the daughter of the patriarch, and now they have joined the Devil's Cult.
There is a superior-subordinate relationship, so as soon as Zhixi opened his mouth, they immediately replied in unison, "Yes!", and then sat on the floor in compliance with the order.
After arranging the believers, Zhixi did not sit down. She stood there and looked into the distance, wanting to see where Sima Liu had gone.
For a moment, a terrifying law fluctuation suddenly came from the distance, and then half of the sky turned bright red, mixed with the sound of howling wind, as if there were two strong men fighting in that place.
After a while, the law fluctuation suddenly disappeared, and all the visions disappeared.
A minute later, the black mist appeared above everyone's heads again, and Sima Liu's tired voice came to Zhixi's ear, "Okay, let's go."
Although Zhixi was very curious about the battle just now, she also knew enough not to ask now. She first directed the believers to run again, and then after half an hour, Sima Liu came to rest, and there was no pursuer behind.
After fighting, she asked tentatively, "Sir, what happened just now?"
Sima Liu knew that Miaomiao and Zhixi were important members of the Devil's Cult, so he did not hide it from Zhixi, but casually explained, "The order given to me by the envoy is to wipe out the Fuxing Society."
"And now, although the fusionists and awakeners of the Fuxing Society have been wiped out by the authorities, one of the three leading Huayang Orders is dead, one is injured, and the other escapes."
"I can leave the dead and injured ones alone. But I still have to deal with the escaped one."
Hearing Sima Liu's words, Zhixi suddenly said, "That's the man with bandages all over his body, right?"
Sima Liu said "Yeah" and commented, "She is very strong and has the ability of the space system. She is very difficult to deal with. So I have been trying to find ways to locate and trap her."
"Fortunately, I have obtained an extraordinary Noble Phantasm of the enchantment type over the years, otherwise she might have run away again."
Zhixi asked curiously, "Did Sir capture her alive?"
Sima Liu said "hmm" and explained, "The other two Huayang Orders are in the hands of the officials, leaving one alive to go back to work."
From what Sima Liu said just now, he attached great importance to Fang Ze's mission, Zhi Xi sensitively discovered that the relationship between Sima Liu and "Fang Ze" was not a simple superior-subordinate relationship, but a deep respect and care from the bottom of his heart.
‘Does Lord Fang Ze have such a high status in the organization?
Although he had already guessed that Fang Ze's identity was unusual, Zhixi was still a little surprised to see that Fang Ze could not only command Tui Morn Jie, but also earn the respect and recognition from the bottom of his heart.
After mentally analyzing Fang Ze's status, Zhixi did not remain idle. She knew that it was very rare for her to come into contact with the Tuo Moran class this time. This would probably be the strongest master she had come into contact with in the past two years.
So she also took this opportunity to ask shamelessly about various awakeners, fusions, and knowledge related to awakening abilities.
As she continued to ask, she couldn't help but ask about Sima Liu's entire plan tonight, "Sir, the two forces tonight, one is the official and the other is the Fuxing Society, did you ask them to fight?"
Upon hearing Zhixi's inquiry, Sima Liu did not deny it, "Yes."
Then he briefly explained, "There is an internal agent from our organization in the official team. He informed me of the Fuxing Society and the official action plan in advance. After that, I inspected the situation in Qingshan City."
"Qingshan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one way out, so I used the clone treasure to hide in several fixed points in advance to monitor the whereabouts of these two organizations."
"It is indeed very difficult to find an organization after it is hidden, but it is very easy to find their whereabouts before they are hidden. So I found their whereabouts very easily."
"After that, my clone hid near their hiding place, and dissipated after taking the initiative to cause misunderstanding between them. The misunderstanding and the cooperation of the internal agents in our official team made it difficult for them not to fight."
Zhixi listened to Sima Liu's talk about tonight's plan and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: before today, she had really analyzed through various signs that there were probably only three important figures in the entire Devil's Cult: she, Miaomiao and Fang Ze. This result
.
But everything she saw and heard today really overturned her understanding: it turns out that the organization is so strong, not only does it have mortal ranks, but it also has official personnel!
You know, for a large-scale operation like today, which often involves thousands of people, the officials must keep it secret. If they can get the information in advance, at least the middle and high-level people in Emerald City and above.
This is enough to show that the Devil's Cult has been cultivating in Cedar State for many years!
‘Could it be that...my previous analysis was wrong?’ After Zhixi hesitated for a moment, her eyes could not help but become firmer. No matter what, the stronger the Devil’s Cult, the safer she is!
Although as the Devil's Cult grows in size, her promotion speed will be much slower, but this also means that she can get more guidance and training, which is beneficial to her development!
‘Isn’t it just a little difficult! Zhixi, come on! You can do it! This time you go to Yunlan Prefecture to develop the Devil’s Cult, this is your chance!,
"Behave well, Lord Devil and Lord Fang Ze will see it?"
Thinking of this, Zhixi's eyes couldn't help but burst out with something called "fighting spirit" and "ambition"...
…
At the same time, when Zhixi and Sima Liu were heading towards Yunlan Prefecture, Fang Ze also received a communication request from Bai Zhi through a special channel.
When he received the communication request, Fang Ze was still in the room in Villa No. 8. He tidied his clothes and then answered the communication.
As soon as the communication was connected, Bai Zhi's excited voice came over, "Fang Ze! I have made a meritorious service! I can go to the state capital to find you tomorrow!"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze was not surprised. The strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers was originally formulated by him. When making this plan, in addition to wanting the ruling office to help him deal with the enemy Fuxing Society, he also wanted to
I want to give Jiang Cheng and Bai Zhi some credit for their achievements.
Now that Bai Zhi had announced the good news to him, Fang Ze immediately guessed that his plan had been successfully completed.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Congratulations then. Tell me what happened?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi smiled, and then started to talk about tonight's action from the beginning. She said, "Actually, to be honest, tonight's action was a failure because we did not achieve the set goal."
When Fang Ze heard this, he frowned slightly.
‘Failed? Didn’t achieve the set goal? Could it be that someone from the Fuxing Society ran away?
Thinking this, he pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
Bai Zhi, "The matter actually starts two days ago. Two days ago, Gu Qing and Xunyi came to me and said that the executive office would organize a joint operation between the Security Bureau and the Federal Guard, with the purpose of wiping out the evil organization Devil's Cult."
"I didn't pay much attention at the time, but after reading the information, I signed directly, and then..."
Fang Ze listened carefully at first, wanting to hear how many of the Fuxing Clubs were running.
As a result, he couldn't help but froze when he was halfway through hearing it. He quickly interrupted Bai Zhi, and then said, "Xiao Zhi, wait a minute!"
Bai Zhi on the other side of the communicator was stunned for a moment, then stopped her narration and asked, "What's wrong? Fang Ze."
Fang Ze frowned and asked, "What did you just say? Is your plan of action to destroy the Devil's Cult?"
Bai Zhi nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Yeah? What's wrong?"
A question mark appeared on her beautiful face, "Is there any problem with exterminating the Devil's Cult? I read the information Xunyi gave me and found that the Devil's Cult is indeed an illegal organization, and it has grown very rapidly during this period. Behind the scenes,
It seems to have the support of demigods."
"In this case, in order to avoid
If demigods want to come through believers, the security bureau will definitely destroy them."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze also realized that he had overreacted. He coughed and added, "It's nothing. I just saw information about this religion in the state capital before, so I'm a little curious."
To be honest, Fang Ze was really a little curious, but his curiosity was not about the Devil's Cult, but about what happened in the Emerald City tonight. So he couldn't help but ask, "I remember you just said that your operation failed.
Did you? Didn’t you catch the people from that sect? Then why did you say you made a meritorious service?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhijiao squeaked and said, "Don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly."
Then, Bai Zhi explained the entire process of tonight's operation in detail. Although she was not present at the scene, because the people who performed the task were all her people, and she knew the inside story of the operation,
So the whole thing was restored quite meticulously.
When he heard that the official organization originally planned to exterminate the Devil's Cult, but encountered an ambush from the Fuxing Society on the way, and then started a fight with the Fuxing Society under Jiang Cheng's lead, Fang Ze had a weird look on his face.
When he heard that the Devil Cult arrived soon after, and that Tui Fan Jie took action and killed a Huayang Jie with one move, Fang Ze had a weird look on his face.
And when he heard that the deputy inspector of Xidazhou Military Base, King Hu, arrived and severely reprimanded Jingtai and Jiang Cheng, but Jingtai had an idea and decided to change the target of the operation and informed several insiders, turning a failed operation into reality.
The action turned into a successful action, and the expression on Fang Ze's face could no longer be contained...
'What... what is he talking about!? It's all chaos! What's going on! This is not my plan!,
Thinking like this, Fang Ze frowned. However, there was something that made him frown even more. After talking about this matter, Bai Zhi commented, "Although the more than three hundred people taught by the devil this time
The believers ran away, but I think Jingtai will not give up, and he will definitely think of other ways to arrest those believers."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "How many believers did you just say?"
Bai Zhi glanced at Fang Ze strangely through the influence, "More than three hundred! What's wrong?"
Fang Ze's frown could no longer be healed: he clearly remembered that there should be more than 400 believers to be evacuated this time, close to 500. Why was there only more than 300?
However, although he was confused, he did not dare to ask directly, so he could only test, "Does the Devil's Cult only have so many followers?"
Bai Zhi didn't think much about it, and said directly, "I asked a few executive officers who participated in the operation, and they said that there are definitely only more than 300 people. Those officers are all fusion level. Although they are usually a bit stupid, I can estimate the number of people.
It’s still impossible to go wrong.”
"As for whether there are other believers in this sect, I don't know. After all, the daily work of the Security Bureau is presided over by Gu Qing and Xunyi."
After listening to Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze's mind was spinning:
He had contacted Zhixi and Miaomiao many times and confirmed that the current number of awakened people in the Devil's Cult was almost five hundred, which was also the number of people who were originally scheduled to be evacuated.
If the participating executive officers read it correctly, it means that not all the awakened members of the Devil's Cult have evacuated this time, but have left some behind.
‘Did Miaomiao and Zhixi have other plans temporarily?
Because there was too little information, and because tonight's events took many twists and turns, completely deviating from Fang Ze's original plan, Fang Ze couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while.
But he could roughly guess that this change should be related to the fact that he left Miaomiao behind last night, and that the municipal committee member Jingtai suddenly appeared...
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't sit still. After asking about Jingtai's body and background, he hung up the communication in Bai Zhi's voice, "I'll be arriving at the state capital tomorrow."
After hanging up the communication, Fang Ze quickly left Villa No. 8, preparing to go back to his room to sleep, and went to the [Late Night Investigation Room]. He felt that the only way to personally ask Miaomiao, Zhixi or Sima Liu, who were the witnesses tonight, was
, to know what exactly happened tonight.
Originally, in his plan, there should be only official and rejuvenation social battles tonight, and the Devil's Cult would not appear throughout the whole process. In this way, even if Sima Liu would help the official in the end, there would be no
Expose Sima Liu's identity and affiliation.
As for a mediocre person who helps the authorities and hides his identity, not many people will care about it. Even if someone is curious enough to check it out, they won't take it seriously.
But now due to a change in plans, Sima Liu took action for the Devil's Cult, which tied him to the Devil's Cult. The nature of the matter suddenly changed, and it became more serious: an illegal organization with masters of the mortal level? This is okay
?This can really be regarded as an extremely dangerous level in the official rating! So even if the officials dig deep, they will definitely find a way to find Sima Liu and the Demon Slayer Cult.
Besides Sima Liu's matter, Fang Ze was also worried about Jiang Cheng.
Although the purpose of the Emerald City Administration's operation tonight was secretly changed, from an official point of view, this operation was to deal with the Fuxing Society, and Jiang Cheng, the person who took the lead in the charge, also made great achievements.
But...the official articles are all meant to deceive outsiders, but they cannot deceive those in Jingtai who know the true purpose of tonight! So Jiang Cheng, the person who caused the whole plan to go astray, might not have aroused their suspicions?
Fang Ze thought it was impossible!
Therefore, he urgently needs to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing and make arrangements in advance to avoid the situation from deteriorating further and causing some irreversible things!
By the way, he also wanted to find out where Miaomiao was now so that he could send someone to take her to the state capital.
Thinking like this, Fang Ze quickly returned to the villa where he lived...
…
And at the same time.
When Fang Ze started to mend the situation, in the small farmyard of the state capital, He Weidao had another phone call with Jingtai.
This time, all the things tonight may have been dealt with, and Jingtai also had enough time, so he told the whole thing in detail, and at the end he talked about his several contacts with Jiang Cheng.
Finally, he asked tentatively, "Teacher, are Jiang Cheng and his son really leaning towards our civilian faction?"
Hearing Jingtai's words, He Weidao frowned slightly, then he shook his head and said, "Not really."
Hearing He Weidao's answer, Jingtai was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "Then could the father and his son lean on other people from the civilian faction?"
Hearing this, He Weidao shook his head again, "Impossible. With the status and strength of Jiang Cheng's father, I am the only one in Xida Prefecture who can accept him, and no one else is qualified to accept him at all."
"As for outside the state..." He Weidao paused, "He wouldn't be so unwise."
Hearing what He Weidao said, Jingtai was really confused this time. He said, "Then if the Jiang family and his son really did not rebel, then what happened to Jiang Cheng?"
He paused and said, "I don't think he is lying. He doesn't have the acting skills. He really thinks he is one of us."
He Weidao still trusted his disciple very much, so after hearing what Jingtai said, He Weidao couldn't help but pace around with his hands behind his back and ponder for a while. After a moment, He Weidao suddenly said, "There is no point in analyzing these."
"Since you suspect him, then transfer him back to the state capital tomorrow. I will notify the Jiang family, and the Secret Service Department will work with the Jiang family to conduct a small-scale inquiry and physical examination on him to see if there is anything wrong with him.
."
He Weidao paused for a moment and then continued, "I remember that Jiang Cheng was missing for two days not long ago. At that time, the Jiang family was in a panic. I once suspected that a demigod was secretly attacking Jiang Cheng."
"But soon, Jiang Cheng appeared on his own again. I guess Jiang Cheng's changes are probably related to that disappearance."
Speaking of this, He Weidao seemed to have thought of something again. He pondered for a while, and then said, "I just listened to your story, but I actually had a guess in my mind."
"Jiang Cheng is the trigger of the conflict between you and the Fuxing Society. So who benefits the most from the conflict between you and the Fuxing Society?"
Jingtai was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said, "Devil's Cult!"
He Weidao nodded slowly, "Yes. It's the Devil's Cult."
Jingtai seemed to have thought of something. He was lost for a moment, and then said with a sudden look on his face, "I understand! Teacher! Do you suspect that Jiang Cheng is an insider of the Devil's Cult?!"
Having said this, he quickly said, "Teacher, I forgot to mention something. Didn't we arrest many members of the Fuxing Society?
During the interrogation, a middle-level cadre once revealed that he heard from the saints that the target of the revival club tonight is not us at all, but also the devil's cult!"
Speaking of this, Jingtai looked excited, "Obviously our target is the Devil's Cult, but in the end we ended up fighting! If there is no problem in the middle, it would be too weird!"
"So, our two teams tonight are likely to have insiders from the Devil's Cult!"
Hearing Jingtai's words, He Weidao pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "In this case, let's call Fang Ze to the interrogation tomorrow."
"If he and Jiang Cheng are really related to the Devil's Cult, then when they meet, some flaws will probably be exposed..."
"For example...recognizing the other party, or generating some kind of reaction."
