I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 155: The war begins, the real purpose of the demon clan

"Woo~~"

A long neighing sound echoed in the streets and alleys.

Like the horn of a general attack, it commanded countless monsters to suddenly transform, swarm into the streets crazily, and attack the city defense forces.

Such an offensive, swift and ferocious
  At the same time, he burst out of the darkness. If it were an ordinary patrolling guard, it would be difficult to guard against him.

By then the city would be in chaos, with flowers blooming everywhere, and the official soldiers in Shangjiang City would be exhausted.

However, the defense tonight was obviously much stronger than usual.

"[Eight Directions Sword Technique]!" A watchman who was on duty suddenly threw away the gong in his hand, and performed a set of sword techniques so powerfully that he was like a god descending from the earth, suppressing and beating the six monsters around him.

What's going on? Are you so good at updating now?

At the moment when the monsters were stunned, the watchman lifted the signal bomb in his hand into the air. The discerning monster's eyes narrowed: "This is the signal bomb for six doors. We were deceived. He is not the watchman!"

The screams were accompanied by the monster's head rising into the sky.

And such plots are also happening in every corner of Shangjiang City. For these elite officials, monsters are scary only because they hide in the dark.

If you really want to come out and compete head-on, then I'm not afraid of you.

At the same time when the demon tribe launched an attack, elites from all walks of life joined the battlefield. Even Jin Wuwei, who had not eaten in the restaurant, had to put down his chopsticks and join the battlefield.

Because right in the center of the city, the Imperial City Division lit a [Tian Ming Lei] that could illuminate the entire city.

Huge flames exploded over the city, and the scattered brilliance was created by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. It floated in the sky and lingered for a long time, making the night sky look like day.

The explosion of [Tianming Lei] is equivalent to the emperor's order. All government offices and soldiers who see it must immediately go to the battlefield to protect the safety of Shangjiang City.

The monsters who wanted to attack under the moonlight were completely exposed in the light, and they could only fight hard.

Such a posture naturally caused the group of big monsters in the mansion in the north of the city, who were confident just now, to panic completely.

A little demon stumbled in and shouted urgently: "Demon King! There are many soldiers outside the house, we are surrounded!"

"What!!" The six-eared monkey king was shocked and rushed out of the courtyard with his team.

The streets were completely cleared at this moment, leaving only rows of bed crossbows, aiming at them with sharp demon-breaking arrows.

"It's over, our plan has been exposed." Mu Bai stood behind him, his face pale.

The Six-Eared Monkey King heard this and angrily yelled: "Why are you panicking! It's just a bed crossbow, nothing to be afraid of."

Mubai opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she endured it. She knew that the demon clan at this moment could not shake its character, and those desperate words could not be spoken out, but could only be suppressed silently in her heart.

The bed crossbow is powerful, but its disadvantage is very obvious, that is, transportation is difficult.

These people were definitely prepared and were hiding in nearby houses.

What made Mubai even more desperate was that the imperial city's imperial guards appeared behind those bed crossbows.

Are the Imperial City Forbidden Forces very strong?
  It's nothing compared to the Tsing Yi Department.

But they represent the emperor!

Only Emperor Wan Jing could make the Imperial City's imperial army attack the enemy, and it didn't even take half a quarter of an hour for them to blow the horn of attack.

Appearing here at this moment means that Emperor Wan Jing has already issued an order to respond to the enemy. Shangjiang City has made preparations to welcome the demon clan. What are they going to fight with?

"Just rely on our strength! Fight out!"

The Six-Eared Monkey King has his own pride, which is his unparalleled strength.

With a roar, the Monkey King's demonic power burned, and his figure soared to ten feet. Holding the sky-raising totem, the terrifying power of the first-level demon overwhelmed the entire audience, which was simply not something that these mere bed crossbows could handle.

But the craftsmen who control the bed crossbow don’t want to kill you!

huh~
  The sharp arrows flew out in a brilliant streak of silver light, heading towards the group of little monsters behind him.

Boom boom boom!
  The terrifying power instantly penetrated the demon's defense. Even if he hid behind the wall, he could not escape the fate of being shot by the giant crossbow bolt. He was nailed to the wall with a look of death.

This kind of demon-breaking arrow is rarely used in daily life. After all, it is not effective against large demons of level 4 or above, and the operation of the bed crossbow is also extremely clumsy.

"Fortunately, Cao Shui's embroidery materials are so good, our Ministry of Industry can also take this opportunity to make a great contribution!" Master Tian admired Cao An very much.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on bed crossbows to kill the Monkey King, but for the large number of little demons, they are a fatal threat.

Even if the little demons were lucky enough to escape the shooting coverage of the demon-breaking arrows, they wanted to rush over and fight for their lives.

They will all be stopped by the Forbidden Army masters who are filling in at the rear. In a well-organized positional battle, the human side has an obvious advantage.

Knowing that he could not drag it out any longer, the Monkey King roared and rushed out, trying to fight his way out with his strength.

But he found that a dark shadow suddenly flashed across the bright moon above his head, and a roar like a wolf howled in his ears.

"Desolate wolf howls at the moon!" Ying Changfeng appeared with a burst of energy that covered the clouds and the moon.

Holding a Guandao in his hand, it rained heavy blows from the sky. Even the Monkey King had to stand ready to fight Ying Changfeng.

Boom!
  The dull collision of weapons caused the walls of the surrounding houses to collapse.

The Monkey King made a successful attack and did not retreat even half a step. Instead, he pushed Ying Changfeng away, which shows how strong he is. But it’s useless to be strong!

The most despicable invention of mankind is to make words like "Three Heroes Fight the Demon King" become fair and just.

Behind him, the captain of the Demon Slaying Division, holding two hammers, stood up and faced the Monkey King with a fierce fighting spirit.

On the other side, the general of the Imperial Guard, Ying Changfeng's old friend, also carried a spear and said jokingly: "General Ying, I haven't seen you on the battlefield in ten years. Isn't your craft rusty?"

"Hmph! It was just an appetizer just now, now it's time to get serious."

"Okay! Then let the three of us come and meet this demon king for a while."

Listening to it made people's blood boil, and watching it made the Monkey King angry. Three of them hit one, you stinky and shameless humans.

"Change the direction and fight out." Mu Bai tried hard to stabilize the battle line and prevent the demon tribe from counterattack. He held two daggers in his hands and quickly rushed towards the battle line.

Unfortunately, what greeted her was a flame falling from the sky.

clang!
  Mu Bai was repelled, and Ying Huorong appeared, moving his body happily, and said with great interest: "How can I be missing in the fight?"

The Tsing Yi Department appeared, accompanied by masters from the Demon Slayer Division. Such a luxurious lineup made the demon tribe's heart drop to the bottom.

"How did you guess our stronghold?" Mubai gritted his teeth and looked at Cao An, who was standing on the second line supervising the battle.

The success or failure of a war depends not only on brute force, but also on the control of the layout.

It was obvious that Cao An, who was smiling at this moment, was in control of everything.

Cao An snapped his fingers behind him, and Ding Jie, who had been beaten half to death, was dragged up.

"Do you still need to guess? You will know after you examine this person."

Shangjiang City was so heavily infiltrated by the demon clan that the Demon Slayer Division was fully responsible, and Ding Jie was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

The last time the black slaves rebelled, the two groups fought fiercely. This person, like the other people who had nothing to do, didn't help each other. I'm afraid he had already left the ghost market and joined the embrace of his new master.

Mu Bai ran away, and Ding Jie was quickly controlled.

Liumen is responsible for the first half of the night, and the Imperial City Secretary is responsible for the second half of the night. They take turns serving. No matter how strong-tempered he is, he still has to take care of Daju, let alone this one who is originally a rebel.

The confession was soon made, at a property in the name of a relative.

"Many enemies like to hide in darkness. But darkness also has its drawbacks. You will never be able to escape the cage I have set up."

The shady mouse never dares to appear in the spotlight.

Cao An quietly brought the bed crossbow and assembled it in a courtyard near them. As long as there were soldiers guarding it, the demon clan's spies would never dare to approach.

This is the benefit of being above board.

The conversation between Mu Bai and Cao An briefly stopped the fighting.

The Monkey King looked at Cao An warily. He suddenly realized that he was a little conceited. This Cao An was indeed extraordinary.

"Human, are you interested in joining me? I can give you a demon body, so that your strength will skyrocket and your longevity will be extended."

"Obviously, no interest." Cao An replied with a shrug.

"To be honest, Mu Bai's calculations are not inferior. He first invested in the agents of the Demon Slayer Division, and then used trade to break into the city. If not for today's situation, I'm afraid it would be difficult to eliminate you one by one."

I have to admire Mubai's management over the past three years.

In Cao An's view, Ding Jie's level was just barely above the line. If he wanted to stand out in the fiercely competitive Demon Slayer Division, it was obvious that there was someone behind him.

I once thought it was a black slave, but then I thought it was Mu Bai.

She entered the Jiaofang Division to look for targets to instigate rebellion, successfully supported Ding Jie and asked him to help cover it up, and then used the excuse of human-monster trade to make the Imperial City Division in the black market turn a blind eye. The infiltration work was quite successful. .

And Mu Bai knew very well that if monsters gathered in large numbers, they would definitely be suspected.

So she asked Nanshan Academy for help. On the pretext of concentrating on Taoism and promoting harmony between humans and monsters, she lobbied the president of Nanshan to open the Taoist Academy and help a large number of monsters transform into demon bodies and integrate into the human world.

They are scattered all over the city and cannot be found. If there is really a fuss, it will be enough to cause a headache for the imperial court.

It was precisely in order to counter Mu Bai's strategy that Cao An had been holding back, waiting for the horn of the general attack to sound and catch them all in one fell swoop.

The whole audience listened quietly to Cao An's analysis.

Many people looked at Mu Bai with a hint of admiration. They all said that monsters are physically strong but stupid in mind. Looking at Mu Bai's IQ, they are too powerful.

Of course, Cao An seems to be more perverted, and others have been planning for three years.

Three years!
  Do you know how this little woman has lived in the past three years?
  You just flipped your hands and solved the case completely, and you also publicly told the process of solving the case. It was just adding salt to other people's wounds!

Cao An smiled slightly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not showing off my reasoning, I'm just cooperating with you to delay time. Mubai, when will your plan start?"

All the reasoning failed to sway the demon clan, but Cao An's last murderous words made the Monkey King change his face.

"Cao An, do you know our plan?" The Monkey King stared at him, hoping to see his bluffing expression.

But Cao An just retorted disdainfully: "Is it difficult to guess? I had my doubts half a month ago. The ice sculpture is well done. Your final plan should be the tomb of King Yong, right?"
