Han Yao was very busy, interrogating prisoners, collecting intelligence...
In the next period of time, because there was really no one available, and both Meng Zhang and Sun Sheng proved their reliability.
In addition to going out personally, Han Yao also asked Meng Zhang and Sun Shengdu to lead a team out, and together they eliminated many strongholds said to be related to demon cultivators.
On the Hengjue Mountains, there were several sects and cultivation families involved, and they were all dealt with decisively by Han Yao.
Even some local officials of the Dali Dynasty were affected and were severely interrogated after being captured by the Five Punishment Guards.
In addition to the cultivators who colluded with the demon cultivators, Han Yao also arrested several real demon cultivators.
Although the demon cultivator is very cunning and good at hiding and escaping. But with enough information, great monks like Han Yao, and powerful men like Yuanshen True Lord Meng Zhang took action, and finally they were able to capture the target.
It's a pity that the strongest of these demon cultivators are only at the Golden Core stage, and they can only be regarded as minor players among the demon cultivators, not the big fish that Han Yao wants to catch.
Not only did the demon cultivators who were captured alive not be able to get any useful information from Han Yao's interrogation, but they all died violently soon.
The secrets of magic are so weird that they are really hard to guard against.
The real target that Han Yao wanted to deal with was someone who held a high position in the Dali Dynasty and had great power.
Without conclusive evidence, it would be difficult for Han Yao to deal with him.
Although on the surface, the Dali Dynasty, like other places in the world of cultivation, banned demonic ways and severely cracked down on demonic cultivators.
But in fact, because the Dali Dynasty had a deep collusion with demon cultivators, and there were powerful demon cultivators in high positions in the court, practicing demonic techniques was not actually an unforgivable sin.
Even if Han Yao knew that his greatest enemy was a demon cultivator, he could not openly attack him because of this.
The demon cultivators who were dealt with within the Dali Dynasty were either wild demon cultivators with no background or origin. Or they were demon cultivators who violated the laws of the Dali Dynasty and brought harm to the Dali Dynasty.
The kind of demonic cultivators that harmed living beings and harmed the common people in the Dali Dynasty did not need Han Yao to take action. There was enough power within the Dali Dynasty to deal with them.
But on the other hand, as long as the demon cultivators who held high positions in the Dali Dynasty did not betray the Dali Dynasty or openly commit evil acts, Han Yao could not do anything to them.
After all, no demon cultivator would be stupid enough to openly admit that he is a demon cultivator.
People don't admit it, so Han Yao doesn't have enough evidence, so he has nothing to do.
The only thing Han Yao can do is to first deal with those demonic cultivators who have no background, or the peripheral forces who collude with the demonic cultivators.
Of course, demonic cultivators are the public enemies of the cultivation world, and no cultivator force will admit that they collude with demonic cultivators.
Han Yao was hunting down demon cultivators with great fanfare, and everyone in the Dali Dynasty, at least on the surface, wanted to support him.
Even though Han Yao was within the Dali Dynasty system, he could not act unscrupulously and must abide by certain rules.
Yuanshen monks Wang Xibei and Qin Canmou openly attacked Wu Xingwei, so they naturally deserved to be captured by Han Yao.
Based on the information obtained from their interrogation, Han Yao led the Five Penal Guards to attack and destroy several cultivation sects and families.
Afterwards, a large number of items related to demon cultivators were found in the sects and families' residences, which was considered to be conclusive evidence.
But achieving this level is the limit of what Han Yao can do.
He led the five criminal guards to go to war on the Hengjue Mountains, causing waves of bloodshed.
The local officials on the Hengjue Mountains have long been very dissatisfied.
Even the powerful Minister of Dali Temple cannot do whatever he wants and infringe local interests wantonly.
Han Yao was under the pretext of hunting down demon cultivators, and no one would publicly stop him.
But privately, a large number of officials reported to the mainland of the Dali Dynasty through various channels and used various means to criticize Han Yao.
Han Yao has been busy in the Hengjue Mountains for so long. He seems to have achieved great results, but he is still far from his goal.
Although he captured several demon cultivators and eliminated some cultivation forces that colluded with the demon cultivators. However, he did not collect enough evidence to prove that his target was doing things that harmed the Dali Dynasty.
In fact, he didn't even have the confidence to accuse the other party of being a demon cultivator.
If you want to bring down those high-ranking officials in the DPRK, it is not enough to rely solely on the confessions of the prisoners in your hands. You must have more detailed evidence.
And those items that were seized and related to the demonic path were difficult to relate to the other party.
Of course, Han Yao knew in his heart that the evidence or not was not the key. The key was that Emperor Bawu still trusted the other party, and the other party still had great use value.
All the evidence and confessions will be of little use without the approval of Emperor Bawu.
Unless Han Yao can produce ironclad evidence to prove that the other party is harming the Dali Dynasty, he can convince Emperor Bawu to support him.
Meng Zhang and Sun Sheng both followed Han Yao during this period, and they had a good time running around.
Soon after, an order came from the Dali dynasty that Emperor Bawu wanted to recruit Han Yao to return to the dynasty.
I don’t know whether Emperor Bawu felt that Han Yao had done enough, or whether the complaint from local officials on the Hengjue Mountains had an effect.
Han Yao was a loyal minister and would naturally not disobey Emperor Bawu's orders.
Sun Shengdu redeemed himself and was forgiven by Han Yao. Before sending him away, Han Yao rewarded him somewhat.
Those cultivators detained by the Wu Xing Guards all suffered some moderate hardships. After it was proven that he had nothing to do with the demon cultivator, he was let go.
A group of important prisoners, including several True Lords of Yuanshen, were personally escorted back to the homeland of the Dali Dynasty by Han Yao.
Meng Zhang's main purpose of going out this time was to evade Zhang Weineng's arrangement.
He now returns directly to Jiuqu Province and shows his identity as the guest minister of Wu Xing Wei. Zhang Weineng will definitely not force him anymore.
Han Yao's attitude towards demon cultivators was well known to everyone in the Dali Dynasty.
Even if Zhang Weineng had enough support, he would not hand over his collusion with the demon cultivators into the hands of a fifth-class guard.
The trouble from Zhang Weineng was easily resolved.
This can be considered a major benefit of Meng Zhang joining the Five Penal Guards.
Of course, Meng Zhang originally intended to go to the mainland of the Dali Dynasty. Now even after getting rid of the trouble from Zhang Weineng, he decided to follow the original plan and go to the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
Moreover, with Han Yao and Wu Xingwei accompanying him this time, enemies such as the Datong Merchant Alliance must not be able to directly trouble Meng Zhang.
After Han Yao hurriedly finished the work on the Hengjue Mountains, he embarked on the road back to the homeland of the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang naturally followed.
Sun Shengdu still has a lot of official business to deal with and needs to stay for a while.
There is a long-distance teleportation circle directly connected to the Hengjue Mountains and the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
Han Yao brought the five criminal guards to the location of the magic circle and started to activate the long-distance teleportation magic circle for teleportation.
