Chapter 1397 - 625: Major News (Part 2)

"Just a mere dozen demons, and you’re worried to this extent? If it weren’t for my father forbidding me from acting recklessly, forget a dozen demons, even if it were a hundred, I would slay them all just the same!"

Xu Qingqi spoke somewhat thoughtlessly, and was automatically ignored by Qiu Xiaoping.

Still, Xu Qingqi’s words reminded Qiu Xiaoping of something.

She looked toward Yu Ji.

"If the map was accurate, how did you precisely kill those dozen demons? Ji Xiangsong’s map should only mark seven or eight demons, the others are unidentified individuals yet to be confirmed, did you possibly... "

Qiu Xiaoping didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear.

However, Yu Ji slowly shook his head.

"No, our Minister, many times, just takes a glance and turns away. And if he does act, then it’s surely to reveal the True Demon!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaoping and Xu Qingqi were both stunned, then both showed a hint of a smile.

"Impossible, demon disguises are not that easily seen through, maybe there was a time of chance, but to continually be correct by guessing, aside from heavenly luck, I can’t think of any other possibilities. I must say, Brother Diao is very bold!" Xu Qingqi said with a laugh, she has dealt with demons more than anyone else, she has a say in this matter.

Qiu Xiaoping slightly shook her head: "Just luck, our Rebel Army has investigated for so long and only found a few demons in hiding, the manpower and resources spent are countless. This isn’t something to determine with just a glance, maybe Young Master Diao secretly killed innocent people when you weren’t paying attention."

With that, Qiu Xiaoping sighed.

But among those present, how many genuinely felt remorse for the deaths of innocent people, probably few, if any.

"No! Mr. Diao truly can determine the demon at a glance! I’ve been following Mr. Diao all day, and Mr. Diao hasn’t made a single mistake!"

The little old man Ji Xiangsong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly raised his hand.

"Master! Ministers, I thought of something! When Mr. Diao received the map and left my pawnshop, he asked for the map division of all suspected demon individuals in that area. Because this is a higher-level intelligence map, and all are in a shallow suspicion phase, no deep personnel investigation was followed, so I didn’t give that map to Mr. Diao... But now thinking it over, if Mr. Diao truly has the ability to distinguish demons, then his action of wanting this map is almost reasonable!"

These words made Xu Qingqi and Qiu Xiaoping both slightly furrow their brows.

They exchanged a look.

Could it really not be a guess??

The achievement of consecutively killing over a dozen demons is indeed admirable, but honestly, they had never thought along these lines.

After all, they’ve never encountered anyone who can instantly penetrate demon disguises, not even the Commander, nor the Lord of the Foolish Underworld, could likely do it.

Killing is the only way to verify if any suspicious person is a demon!

"Explain in detail how your Minister determines if a person is a demon."

Qiu Xiaoping looked toward Yu Ji.

Yet Yu Ji spread his hands.

"I’ve said everything... My master just goes up for a strike, or turns away, there’s no other performance."

Qiu Xiaoping looked disappointed.

"It seems, you haven’t learned Young Master Diao’s methods, you couldn’t even recognize what his methods are... Xu Qingqi, maybe you chose the wrong personnel, considering this young brother is quite injured, how about I assign some others to accompany Young Master Diao."

"Minister Qiu?!"

Yu Ji’s face changed.

Initially, he was somewhat unwilling to leave Xu Qingqi and move to a new department under an unfamiliar Minister.

But after a day of contact, he was quite satisfied with Fang Yu, even feeling he’d be able to accomplish great things under Fang Yu.

"Mr. Xu..."

Yu Ji gave a pleading look to Xu Qingqi next to Qiu Xiaoping.

Even though he was assigned out, they were originally her close aides, Xu Qingqi naturally didn’t want Yu Ji to suffer grievances.

"What’s the hurry! Look how anxious you are! Let’s first figure out whether Brother Diao can really see through demon disguises, then discuss whether or not to reinforce his men."

These words effectively blocked Qiu Xiaoping’s proposal.

Qiu Xiaoping wanted to speak again, but then, someone outside hurriedly ran in.

"Report! Report!! Ministers, latest news, Hall Master Xing Xueman from the Foolish Underworld, is dead!!"

What?!

Qiu Xiaoping and Xu Qingqi almost simultaneously jumped from their seats.

"How did they die!" Xu Qingqi asked excitedly.

"How could they die?! Inside Thunder City, how many people are capable of toppling the Foolish Underworld’s Hall Master??" Qiu Xiaoping asked, shocked.

Yu Ji and the little old man Ji Xiangsong also turned to look at the newcomer, perplexed and bewildered.

An Underworld Hall Master dying is indeed a major event.

But following that, an explosive message none expected burst from the newcomer’s mouth.

"The one who killed the Hall Master of Foolish Underworld, was the Demon Slayer Hero, none other than our Rebel Army’s new Minister of the Black Department, Minister Diao, Mr. Diao!!"

What?!!

This left Qiu Xiaoping and Xu Qingqi genuinely stunned, their minds went blank.

Diao Deyi... killed Xing Xueman??

Wasn’t he killing demons hiding in Thunder City? How did it go down with the Underworld’s Hall Master???

"Was the Hall Master of Foolish Underworld, also a demon??"

Simple-minded Yu Ji, after recovering from the shock, couldn’t help but ask.

This question invited everyone present to give him looks as if he were a fool.

Xu Qingqi: "..."

Even Xu Qingqi, at this moment, couldn’t defend her former subordinate.

Just goes to show, assigning these two to Fang Yu had some consideration.

Besides having enough manpower, relatively speaking, these two subordinates weren’t that outstanding, ranking towards the end among their peers.

"Xing Xueman, the Hall Master of Foolish Underworld, surely isn’t a demon... Right?"

At first, Qiu Xiaoping was confident, but then she looked less assured toward the person reporting the news.

"Of course not! Xing Xueman’s body was retrieved by the Foolish Underworld, and the Underworld is in an uproar, denouncing our Rebel Army! Even this news was spread from the Foolish Underworld. But they don’t know Minister Diao’s identity, only that Minister Diao is from the Rebel Army and is among the top ranks!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xiaoping and Xu Qingqi realized, things had really escalated!

This was far more explosive than the news of the mystery expert crazily slaying a dozen demons inside the city.

"How could this be! With the Underworld losing a Hall Master, they’ll likely abandon all current tasks, concentrating full power to launch an unprecedented hunt against our Rebel Army!" Qiu Xiaoping said, worried.

She hadn’t expected things to take such a drastic turn after just half a day at the base.

Compared to the news of killing the Underworld Hall Master, seeing through the True Demon suddenly became irrelevant.

At least for now, this ability had no comparison to the current situation.

"Wonderful! Brother Diao first slays demons, then the Hall Master! Honestly, I’m excited! It’s been a long time since something made my blood boil like this! My father forbade me from acting, but Brother Diao did it for me! Now, he shouldn’t have any reason to continue limiting me! Since Brother Diao killed a Hall Master, then as the Big Sister, I’ll kill two! No, three! I want to eliminate three Hall Masters from the Foolish Underworld, and none of you can stop me!"
