177: In troubled times, severe punishments should be used

Demon Suppression Division.

Jiang Liu, standing behind Jiang Lin, spoke, "Young Lord, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Heaven Protecting Great Array have arrived!"

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes, and he immediately said, "Alright, prepare everything. Have the Qian Wei (Commander) of the Demon Suppression Division set off first!"

Jiang Liu hesitated, "Young Lord, are we really going straight in?"

Jiang Lin smiled, "Of course!"

"Pay attention to your identity. You are now a Qian Wei (Commander) of the Demon Suppression Division!"

Jiang Liu's face showed extreme heartache as he said, "Young Lord, the situation in Cloud Marsh is currently very dangerous!"

"Even if they go easy on us, those unowned Hell Demons could still take the lives of those one thousand Demon Suppression Envoys!"

Jiang Lin nodded, not caring in the slightest, "Will all one thousand people die?"

Jiang Liu nodded, "Almost. If we can keep one hundred, it would be a miracle!"

Jiang Lin sighed, "It seems the power over there isn't enough. If they could all be annihilated as soon as they enter, that would be the ideal result in my heart!"

After speaking, Jiang Lin's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly,

"We absolutely cannot let them go easy even a little!"

"There are many hidden agents from other forces among this batch of Demon Suppression Envoys. Finding them one by one is too time-consuming!"

"Since they are all under suspicion, then let them all go to their deaths!"

"Their blood, their strength, will be transferred to another batch of my loyal soldiers!"

"And those one hundred thousand troops!"

"Dragon Zhiyang really understands me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Liu already understood Jiang Lin's true purpose.

He continued to report, "Young Lord, the military advisor Your Majesty sent to assist you this time is Military Advisor Jia Yinhan, the strongest strategist of the new generation in Wen Long Pavilion!"

"This person is a famously cold and beautiful woman, extremely rational, and her strategies are quite extreme!"

"Information from within the Family indicates that the Young Lord should be careful. This woman, at a critical moment, might directly sell out the Young Lord for the greater good!"

Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment.

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan, the twelfth female lead!

Her wisdom was second only to Zhuge Ling of the Light Society.

Her schemes were often insidious and extreme.

In the Reincarnation Battlefield arc of the original plot, to defend Reincarnation Mountain, with no reinforcements available, this woman chose to decompose corpses to refine Spirit Pills.

This caused widespread resentment, and after returning to court, she was thrown into military prison due to immense public outcry.

When Xiao Dong completely rebelled, he rescued her, and she then fought for Xiao Dong, conquering the Nine Prefectures and resisting the Witch-Demon Alliance...

"So, the control of the one hundred thousand troops is in this woman's hands?"

Jiang Lin knew that this operation was supposedly centered around him,

but how could they let him mess around?

The matter of Cloud Marsh was extremely serious.

They would definitely send a dedicated person to command and oversee it.

Giving him the Xuanyuan Sword was also because he had Karma Fire!

Jiang Liu nodded, "Yes, Young Lord!"

Jiang Lin laughed, "That's even better. With this woman, I'm not afraid that the one hundred thousand troops will be able to leave Cloud Marsh alive!"

"By the way, is there no result at all for the list of people I asked you to find?"

Jiang Liu shook his head, a hint of frustration in his voice, "No, the people on that list have all completely disappeared from the world!"

"Some went out for training, some were not even in those places, and some just mysteriously vanished!"

Jiang Lin was stunned, his brows tightly furrowed.

The people he had asked Jiang Liu to investigate were all the female leads who were seemingly easy to conquer!

Jiang Lin had originally intended to use them to complete the Fate Severing mission, enhance his Bloodline, and condense the Concentric Seal within his body.

He hadn't expected that these female leads were not in their original places, which meant that the Heavenly Dao had made arrangements in advance!

It had calculated that he might lose!

But it didn't matter, the female leads currently around Jiang Lin were already enough for him to complete the Fate Severing mission!

Liu Yaner, Zhang Wanmeng, Xu Zhaozhao, Donghuang Pan, Qian Nuonuo, Long Xiyue!

These six people were already enough!

Although these people might need to wait for the right moment to maximize their benefits...

Jiang Lin thought of something and asked, "Are there no updates on the few people I specifically marked either?"

Jiang Liu bowed and replied, "Young Lord, it's the same for the three people you specially marked!"

"We investigated Long Zhan's Le Tea House, and there was no woman with a goldfish symbol on her forehead!"

"There's no captain named Mu Xianxue in the Six Doors, and the master of Guangyao Manor isn't a woman either..."

The strength and foundation of those three people were extremely abnormal!

As long as he could condense the Concentric Seal, they would be of great use!

These three were on Jiang Lin's list of people with whom he absolutely had to condense the Concentric Seal!

Jiang Lin probably couldn't even dream of it,

but at this moment, in the Jiang Family's backyard,

"The three of you, your future task is to serve Madam. You must be obedient and nimble-minded!"

The three stunning beauties instantly looked up, their minds already bewildered.

They had thought they had finally waited for Jiang Lin to need new maids,

but it turned out Xia Shirou needed maids??

What the hell was Jiang Lin doing?

Didn't they say he was fickle, changing concubines more often than clothes?

Why hadn't they even seen Jiang Lin's shadow after all this time?

The news from the outside world was misleading!!

Or was it that this Xia Shirou had Jiang Lin completely captivated?

Looking at the three peerless beauties before her, the sense of happiness in Xia Shirou's eyes grew even stronger.

So, there were so many beauties in husband's backyard!

It was truly my honor that husband chose to be kind to me...

But upon closer inspection, a slight change appeared in Xia Shirou's eyes.

"How long have you been in the Jiang Family?"

"One month!"

"Hmm, as long as you work hard from now on, you will all have a very good future!"

...

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan's expression was cold as she entered the Demon Suppression Division.

But when she saw the person greeting her was an elegant and virtuous woman, she couldn't help but be surprised and blurted out,

"Long Xiyue, why are you here?"

Long Xixue smiled, "I am the Deputy Director of the Demon Suppression Division, of course I should be here!"

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan exclaimed in shock, "When did you leave the palace?"

Long Xixue's mother and Military Advisor Jia Yinhan's mother were biological sisters, marrying the current Human Emperor and the head of the Jia Family, a prominent Family in Qingchang Prefecture, respectively.

Before Military Advisor Jia Yinhan entered Wen Long Pavilion, she still often visited her aunt, who was the Empress.

Therefore, Military Advisor Jia Yinhan and Long Xixue had a very good relationship.

Long Xixue pulled Military Advisor Jia Yinhan and replied, "I came as soon as the Demon Suppression Division was fully established!"

"Let me show you the current Demon Suppression Division!"

"That's the main hall of the Demon Suppression Division, formerly the Heavenly Craftsmanship Creation Pavilion. From there, you can see the entire capital!"

"That's the Heavenly Fortune Hall, which houses three Secret Realms. Later, I'll show you my achievements from the past few days; they will definitely open your eyes!"

"I believe it won't be long before I can build the Demon Suppression Division into the strongest organization!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Long Xixue, Military Advisor Jia Yinhan's face was filled with disbelief.

In the past, Long Xixue was indecisive and timid.

Now, she was confident and radiant, her eyes filled with a resolute glow.

"Long Xiyue, do you know the true situation of the Demon Suppression Division and its public perception?"

Hearing this, Long Xixue smiled, "Han, you don't really think the Demon Suppression Division is like what those people slander it to be behind our backs, do you?"

Military Advisor Jia Yinhan shook her head and said frankly, "Of course not, it's just that the power has been abused a bit too much!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will become isolated and helpless..."

Long Xixue's eyes suddenly became serious, and she said very earnestly,

"In troubled times, severe measures must be used!"
