Qi Fei nodded with satisfaction after hearing this:
"It's good that you still remember..." After hearing these words, I could already feel that the acting director of the Demon Suppression Department was not at all worried about the so-called major crisis in the future!
... However, Niu Yuanping felt a little puzzled. What kind of crisis is it? When he saw this sentence in the letter, he felt very strange. What kind of crisis could threaten the life and death of the Demon Suppression Division and Lord Qi Fei!
To be honest, Niu Yuanping at that time always felt that there was an element of alarmism and even exaggeration in this sentence. He did not completely believe that that kind of thing would really come.
But what I didn't expect was. Today, Mr. Qi Fei, the acting director of the Demon Suppression Department, actually came to this area in person in the dark night to meet with him.
Moreover, I just asked Niu Yuanping again if he still remembered a sentence in the letter from more than a year ago:
"If the Demon Suppression Division really encounters a major crisis in the future, I hope to get his help." Niu Yuanping could clearly feel that this Lord Qi Fei had a very strong intention to win over him... Tonight, He had already guessed 70% to 80% of the other party's intention of meeting here.
It was precisely to remind him, Niu Yuanping, of the sincerity and kindness shown by Qi Fei more than a year ago that he came to contact him... After thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel curious.
What kind of life and death crisis could make Qi Fei care to this extent? So, he couldn't help but ask,:
"Can Lord Qi Fei reveal some news about the life and death crisis that he is worried about in the future? What exactly will happen in the future?" Although the energy conflict in his body is still continuing at this moment, above the body surface and under the clothes The lumps and bulges are moving away quietly.
He really wanted to refine and practice immediately... But now that Qi Fei was catching up... For the sake of the friendship and affection from more than a year ago, he had to be patient and have a good chat with him.
At least we should take this opportunity to figure out what the so-called life and death crisis in the future is about.
At this time, after listening to Niu Yuanping's words and questions, Qi Fei sighed and said:
"Actually, even if you don't ask, I still want to find a chance to tell you the truth." After hearing this, Niu Yuanping cursed in his heart:
"Of course I guessed this..." However, he also knew that the good stuff was coming soon! So he calmed down and listened more carefully to what Qi Fei was going to say next.
At this time, Qi Fei was silent for a moment and then said in a deep voice:
"First of all, I want to tell you a secret... that is, over the past four hundred and sixty years, none of the previous directors of the Demon Suppression Department have died a good death!..." These words made Niu Yuanping's heart skip a beat, and his expression changed. Then he became solemn.
This is not a secret that makes people feel relaxed and happy after listening to it... At this time, there was no interruption and continued to listen.
"If the information I have is correct, over the past hundreds of years, a total of twenty-seven directors of the Demon Suppression Department have disappeared for no reason! There is still no whereabouts!... And the Criminal Court has never seriously investigated this matter... ...And, of the twenty-seven missing directors, five disappeared inside the criminal court!" This is indeed a frightening message... Niu Yuanping's mood has also begun to fluctuate.
He had always thought that the Demon Suppressor, as the common people in the Yan Kingdom, and even the royal family, should enjoy incomparable peace and tranquility.
Apart from evil spirits and ghosts, there shouldn't be any other enemies... But I really didn't expect that it actually hid such a powerful secret.
How could the director of the Demon Suppression Department disappear for no reason? ! ... You must know that the director of the Demon Suppression Department is the most powerful and highly cultivated being in the Demon Suppression Department. They should be as stable as a huge rock, eating into everyone's heart all the time. The existence of reassurance!
How could it disappear so easily? Niu Yuanping really never thought that such a being could encounter misfortune, and not only one was missing, but as many as twenty-seven!
...Furthermore, it seems that this kind of disappearance has been sealed as a secret, and only a few people can know about it. If Qi Fei doesn't reveal it today, Niu Yuanping really has no way of knowing.
This is indeed very strange! Niu Yuanping immediately smelled a very dangerous atmosphere from this information.
But at the same time, it also attracted Niu Yuanping's curiosity. His eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and then asked again:
"Then the Criminal Court... what kind of existence is it?" If the director of the Demon Suppression Department can disappear within it, the power must not be simple.
"The Criminal Court is a new force established by the royal family of the Great Yan Kingdom. The main purpose is to control the Demon Suppression Division..." Qi Fei told Niu Yuanping everything he knew.
"It turns out it's to check and balance the forces of the Demon Suppression Department!" Niu Yuanping somewhat understood. This is probably an imperial technique...:
"Since it can check and balance the Demon Suppression Division, are the characters in the Criminal Court just like the members of the Demon Suppression Division, who can practice cultivation?" After hearing this, Qi Fei shook his head,:
"That's not the case... The members of the Criminal Court are not practitioners like the Demon Slayers of the Demon Suppression Division. They are all civilian warriors or close associates of the royal family!" This was beyond Niu Yuanping's expectation.
In his opinion, the organization that could control the Demon Suppression Division must also have the ability to match it.
Otherwise, how can we subdue the director of the Demon Suppression Department who possesses the strength of a ninth-level demon slayer?
So he couldn't help but ask again,:
"Since they are a group of civilian warriors, how can they threaten the director who has the strength of a ninth-level demon-slayer? How can they make so many former directors disappear in the criminal court?..." After hearing this question, Qi Fei He nodded silently and said,:
"Yes, your question is exactly what I have always suspected! ... The Criminal Court may not be composed of just civilian warriors as the outside world knows! Instead, there is a powerful force that intends to destroy the Demon Suppression Division! ... ...And this sub-force has been systematically weakening the strength of the Demon Suppression Division, such as secretly killing some ninth-level demon slayers... This is also the root cause of the disappearance of past division chiefs!" Hearing this, Niu Yuanping immediately felt this possibility. Very big.
He finally understood why Qi Fei had a premonition that the Demon Suppression Department would have a major crisis in the future!
Why would someone as powerful as him have such a strong sense of crisis? It turns out that there are so many hidden secrets in the criminal court.
Niu Yuanping couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"I really didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division would be such an unstable place of right and wrong... Not only do we have to face the plots of demons and ghosts every day, but we also have to be wary of the Criminal Court... It seems that leaving there is a very good choice..." At this moment, Qi Fei didn't know that Niu Yuanping would have such thoughts.
It is a rare opportunity to have an open heart-to-heart conversation with Niu Yuanping today. So he opened the conversation directly and continued to reveal one thing.
turn out to be! There has been no news for more than a year since Director Shen Long was taken away by the Criminal Court for investigation... He only said that he was responsible for the Demon Suppression Division's infiltration into demons, so he was sentenced to prison.
However, other demon slayers were not allowed to visit. This rhythm is exactly the same as the path of the twenty-seven demon-slayers who disappeared before!
So Qi Fei was worried that maybe Shen Long, like previous generations of directors, had encountered some kind of accident!
