Nearly three days have passed since I stayed at Shen Changan's home for training. During this period, various major events continued to occur in the outside world. The most talked about among them was that the Imperial Bureau recently launched a war. A cleansing operation against ghost slaves.
This operation was led by the Imperial Bureau, with the provincial bureaus fully cooperating, and an extremely violent attack was carried out against the ghost slave organizations hiding in various provinces across the country.
Although it is called a cleansing operation, everyone knows that this is the Imperial Bureau's revenge for the war zone, and compared to the last cleansing operation, this time the cleansing will be more ruthless and thorough. It is said that all sixty-four provinces across the country have achieved considerable results, and the Ghost Slave Organization also suffered an unprecedented serious blow during this operation!
Such a dazzling performance has naturally caused the Empire's authority and reputation, which had declined in recent times, to rebound significantly. Now those who had objections to the Empire were silenced, and the Empire returned to its previous order. .
This purge operation can be said to be fruitful, but while I am happy about this result, I also have some speculations of my own - could this operation go so smoothly because the Imperial Bureau has received some reliable intelligence? ?
Although the last operation was considered smooth, the results were far inferior to this one. The reason was because the ghost slaves hid after hearing the news, and it was not easy for the Imperial Bureau to find the hiding place. After all, the ghost slave is not an ordinary fugitive.
However, the efficiency of the Imperial Bureau in this cleaning operation was surprisingly high. The work was completed within two days. This made me wonder whether it was Night Owl who revealed to the Imperial Bureau about the ghost slaves in the prison. A large amount of intelligence allowed the Imperial Bureau to carry out such an effective attack on the ghost slaves in a short period of time?
I think this is very possible, because Ye Xiao is the only high-level person who is still alive in the hands of the Empire. The other ghost slaves either committed suicide before being captured, or were killed remotely by the ghost master. The Empire has no chance to get information from them. Ask for information.
Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, they are just miscellaneous fish among the ghost slaves and cannot provide any effective information at all.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao, as the deputy master of the Hell Gate, it is extremely easy to know the information about the hiding places of ghost slaves. I don’t believe that he didn’t follow Qian Yue and other ghost slaves from other provinces during the official business. Words came out of their mouths.
Besides, Qing Ling is considered a high-level person among ghost masters. Even if he is isolated, he must know a lot of things, including the hiding places of ghost slaves.
I think it is very likely that the Imperial Bureau got this information from the mouth of Night Owl, so that it can sweep through the ghost slave organizations everywhere with the power of thunder and inflict heavy damage to the ghost slaves.
If this is the case, it means that Night Owl has made great contributions, and he will probably be pardoned for this, thus saving his life... But all of this is my conjecture and cannot be verified for the time being.
"I don't know what happened to Ye Xiao, there is no news from above." I said worriedly.
To be fair, I don’t want Ye Xiao to die so mysteriously, but my power is really limited. Without exposing our relationship, let alone interceding for him, I can’t even meet him. He met him once.
"Wait until Brother Yuan comes back and ask for information from him. He should know something about the situation." I thought to myself.
Through these two days of contact, I learned that both Jiang Yuan and Li Yuxin worked in the interrogation department of the Imperial Bureau, and were mainly responsible for interrogating prisoners. Of course, these prisoners were not ordinary prisoners, and all of them were practitioners.
There are many departments in the Imperial Bureau that are similar to the Interrogation Department, and those who work in them are all members of the Imperial Bureau. Due to the high salary and treatment, there are a lot of Imperial Bureau members who squeeze their heads to get in.
Normally, the work of the interrogation department is not round the clock, but due to the purge operation, Jiang Yuan has been extremely busy these two days. I have not seen Jiang Yuan since the last time I saw him.
But in terms of time, the purge operation is now over, and Jiang Yuan will almost be back. If nothing else happens, I will be able to see him tonight.
"Ye Yan, how's your practice going?"
Just as I was sitting on the sofa, wondering how I should mention Ye Xiao to Jiang Yuan when he comes back, Shen Changan's voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Teacher!" After hearing this, I stood up immediately and said with a smile: "I have made some progress compared to yesterday. Now I can move a piece of paper."
Just yesterday, I successfully moved the scraps of paper placed on the smooth table through the air. I didn't use any power like ghost energy during the process. I just used the power of space to move it.
This power of space sounds mysterious, but in fact it uses one's own soul to act on the "source" in the space, thereby affecting that space. And this "force" that affects the space is what we know. The power of space.
It's just that my current spatial power is very little. Although I have made some progress today, I can only move a piece of paper the size of a bottle cap, and the range of one-time movement is limited.
"Yes, practice more in the near future. Don't forget this feeling. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Shen Changan said with a smile: "This mainly depends on your own understanding. Outsiders cannot interfere too much."
"Yes. I understand..." As soon as I finished speaking, there was a wave of movement at the door, and then Jiang Yuan, who looked a little tired, walked in dragging his heavy body.
"Teacher, I'm back."
After coming in, Jiang Yuan nodded towards me as a greeting, then sat down next to me and sighed: "Hey, I have too many things to do in the past two days, and it's only now that I can take it out." Come back."
"How's it going? Did you get anything out of the interrogation of the ghost slaves captured in the past two days?" Shen Changan asked.
"No, but the work is still going on. I have to go over in the evening to continue the interrogation." Jiang Yuan said helplessly: "But as of now, these ghost slaves are just fish, and they know too little information."
The prison of the Imperial Bureau is special and can isolate all mental fluctuations from the outside world, so as long as the ghost slaves can be escorted in, the ghost master cannot kill them remotely.
Because of this, some ghost slaves who have been successfully captured are still alive and well in the interrogation room for interrogation, but it seems that there is not much progress yet.
"Brother Yuan, I heard that Night Owl is the deputy sect leader of the Hell Gate. He has a high position in the Hell Gate and must know a lot of things. Have you conducted a proper interrogation?" I asked calmly. The purpose was naturally to think. We need to ask clearly what situation Ye Xiao is in now.
"You're talking about that Night Owl." Hearing this, Jiang Yuan showed a look of surprise on his face, and then replied: "Our interrogation department has interrogated him for a long time, and more than once, but he didn't ask for much useful information. That guy was strict. Very much."
"That's it..." After listening to Jiang Yuan's words, I looked worried. If Ye Xiao doesn't tell you some useful information, can the Imperial Bureau let him go?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Yuan continue to say: "By the way, it is said that the verdict against Ye Xiao has come out this morning. He has committed multiple crimes such as crimes against humanity and will be punished for several crimes."
"The Imperial Bureau has decided that Night Owl will be shot at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"
