The dark war between the Demon Tribunal and the Demon Hunter Association has begun!
Since ancient times, as long as a country has set up intelligence and secret service agencies, there is no reason to set up just one.
There will be at least two departments that overlap and check and balance each other, and are incompatible with each other.
If we only set up an intelligence and secret service agency, like the Starry Federation more than a hundred years ago, where the "Secret Sword Bureau" is the sole leader and has complete control over intelligence and secret law enforcement powers, it would be extremely easy as long as its leader is slightly ambitious.
It deceives and deceives higher-level rulers, causing extremely bad consequences.
The "Patriot Rebellion" instigated by Lu Zui with the Secret Sword Bureau as his team is the best example.
Therefore, in the new federal era, the federal intelligence and secret service departments have split into the Secret Sword Bureau of the Spring Breeze and the Dark Moon Foundation of Jin Xinyue.
There is both competition and cooperation with each other, and a dynamic balance like a seesaw can ensure that regardless of the situation, The expansion of ambitions of any party will not threaten national security.
In the True Human Empire, the same principle holds true.
Five hundred years ago, when the imperial power was at its peak, no matter how favored the Demon Tribunal was, the emperor never thought of abolishing the Demon Hunter Association; and in the next five hundred years, no matter how favored the Demonic Tribunal was, the emperor never thought of abolishing the Demon Hunter Association; and in the next five hundred years, no matter how favored the Demon Hunters' Tribunal was, the four Electoral Prince families How powerful and domineering they are, and how much credit the Demon Hunters Association has made for their secret power grab, they have not been able to completely eliminate the Demon Tribunal.
This is the way of checks and balances.
No matter whether the person in power is the emperor or the four electors, they will not completely trust these intelligence and secret service agencies.
These two intelligence and spy agencies have to be entangled in a gloomy fate and fight forever, proving to those in power time and time again that they are the colder, sharper, and more efficient dark sword!
Now, the action of "respecting the emperor and fighting against rebellion, and innovating with divine weapons" has progressed to the second step.
The Dongfang family has sensed the faint hostility of the other three major families, and is even more afraid that Lei Chenghu's thunder fleet will rush into the hinterland of the Dongfang family to wreak havoc and play a trick of perish, so the main force of the family fleet never dares to act rashly.
Neither Lei Chenghu nor the top leaders of the other three major families wanted to start a full-scale civil war.
No one was willing to mobilize the fleet to fight to the death in the star sea unless it was absolutely necessary.
Under the influence of many powerful people and respected elders, the four major families plus the reformists, the five parties reached a temporary tacit understanding.
This table called "Empire" cannot be turned over.
Whose fleet will be the first to open fire?
It means completely overturning the table and breaking up the gang, it means smashing everyone's cake, it means becoming an enemy of all other forces, and they will definitely be attacked by a group!
With all the force on the surface being restrained, it's a good time for the dark force to show off its skills.
There are four major families, especially the Dongfang family, who have been blood transfusions for years.
The size and strength of the Demon Hunters Association far exceeds that of the Demon Tribunal.
A conservative estimate is that the number of "Monster Hunters" is at least five times that of "Witch Hunters".
But the advantage of the Demon Tribunal is that the enemy is overt and we are hidden.
They have been very low-key in the past hundred years, as low-key as an insignificant Qingshui Yamen.
No one knows that they will accept the secret preparation of Her Highness the Queen in the past few decades, and use the ancient emperor to The witch hunter who was trained by the peerless magical power in the tomb is no less powerful than the most powerful demon hunter.
In terms of weirdness and cruelty, she is even worse.
More importantly, the Demon Tribunal is on the offensive and can choose its "hunting targets" at will.
You must know that the dozens of nearby worlds with Jitianjie and Tianjixing as the core are nominally controlled by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and all the bureaucracies here are directly sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, today when the imperial power is declining and powerful ministers are in power, the so-called "direct dispatch by the emperor" has long become an empty talk.
The dozens of bureaucracies and administrative agencies directly under the emperor's control have long been riddled with holes by the four major families. , almost controlled by them.
But this also means that there are a large number of immortal cultivators from the Dongfang family and its vassal families who occupy high positions in the imperial capital and must live and work here.
These people have the backing of the Dongfang family, so they are naturally not some upright and good officials.
Under the guise of His Majesty the Emperor, they exploit immortal cultivators and lower-level people from other forces, and while delivering a steady stream of benefits to the family, they also pluck their hair to satisfy themselves.
These selfish desires are common and commonplace "routine".
Since Li Linghai vowed to "reform the empire", he has secretly collected a lot of evidence, the so-called "cannonballs."
In the past, the Dongfang family's position was indestructible, and these cannonballs would be easily defused even if they were fired.
Even the other three major families would help the Dongfang family cover up, and not even half of the news would appear on the spiritual network.
But today is different from the past.
Now the reformists have shown strong power.
In the previous stage, they defeated the Dongfang family.
It makes people faintly see the weakness of the Dongfang family.
Therefore, they can get the support of the Li family and the Yun and Song families. tacit approval.

Once these shells explode, their lethality is absolutely earth-shattering.
The most important point is to capture these Dongfang family cultivators who occupy high positions in the imperial capital!
There are tens of thousands of such cultivators, and the Demon Tribunal can choose who to arrest as they please.
But the Demon Hunters Association must work hard to set up defenses everywhere.
Every important role of the Dongfang Family must not be missed and must be protected.
No matter how many demon hunters there are, coupled with the Dongfang family's own capable bodyguard team, it is far from enough.
Not every immortal cultivator of the Dongfang family goes to work, and there are seventy or eighty fighting immortal cultivators in front of them.
Will you be able to protect me?
It is even more impossible to evacuate the imperial capital and escape back to the Dongfang family's own territory.
This kind of behavior of fleeing without a fight will be considered by the Li family, Yun family and Song family as a sign of weakness by the Dongfang family.
Once the three uncertain and ambiguous families completely fall to the reformists, the Dongfang family will be in catastrophe.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must hold on until Dongfangwang completes the deployment of troops and generals in secret, reaches an ulterior secret agreement with the other three major families, and strives for a unanimous position, then they will win.
Who will win is still uncertain!
Entering the extreme heaven realm and celestial star in May, the hottest summer of the year has arrived early.
And a series of news that shocked the entire imperial capital, no, the entire sea of stars, mixed with the strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the hot wind.
On May 2, Dongfang Yu, the director of military education in charge of the seventy-one higher military academies of the empire, was suddenly arrested by the Demon Tribunal on his way to a meeting.
The next day, the Li family's media exposed A shocking case involving multiple cases of unfair distribution of military merits was followed, and hundreds of members of the military education system were implicated.
Of course, the vast majority of people involved in the case had the surname Dongfang.
On May 5th, the president of the "Imperial Black Mountain Bank", ranked among the top 20 in the empire, was arrested in his private residence.
Although precautions had been taken and the bodyguard group with upgraded defense and firepower put up a desperate resistance, the Demon Tribunal still Before the masters from the Demon Hunter Association arrived, they captured the person alive and drove away.
As for where exactly he was captured?
Sorry, no one knows that the public headquarters of the Demon Tribunal has long been deserted, with only a few lowest-level civilian staff still working in a serious manner.
As for Yue Wushuang and her most elite witch hunters, there are no People know where they are hiding and which target they are targeting.
May 7th...May 8th...May 10th...
Almost every day, bureaucrats from the Dongfang family and its vassal families are secretly arrested, and their crimes are exposed in the media under the Li family the next day or even at the same time.
Some of them are corruption for personal gain, and some of them involve long-lasting criminal cases.
It is normal for immortal cultivators to fight and kill each other, and even suffer The families of the victims will not choose to use the law to solve the problem.
Instead, they will try to retaliate through lynching after practicing their magical powers.
But in theory, the law can of course sanction it.
It is not important whether it is "if you want to inflict a crime, there is no excuse."
What is important is that , let everyone in the entire star sea clearly see that the Dongfang family is not invincible!
The forces of immortal cultivators, large and small, in the empire are like sharks, large and small.
The blood of the Dongfang Family will definitely drive them crazy.
As long as enough blood is shed, all the sharks will rush towards the Dongfang Family regardless of the cost. .
Faced with the long-planned attack by the Demon Tribunal, the Demon Hunters Association naturally fought back strongly.
While countless bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen from the Dongfang family were secretly arrested and labeled as "demon cultivators", the Demon Hunter Association also took the initiative to target the reformists and immortal cultivators of the Li family in the same way.
However, the Li family is not as powerful as the Dongfang family, and not many people have infiltrated into the imperial capital.
The reformists have been hiding their heads and tails, acting invisibly.
How can it be so easy to arrest them in a hurry?
The anxious Demon Hunters Association acted more and more crazily and unscrupulously, not caring about how much damage it caused to the Jitian Realm and Tianji Star.
After suffering several losses, they actually followed the lead and found several places where the Demon Tribunal was located.
The secret base, the battle between the two sides in the dark, is a hundred times more cruel than the duel between the fleets in the sea of stars!
Every day, countless demon hunters and witch hunters stabbed each other's bodies with their swords silently in the back alleys deep under the imperial capital, then hugged each other, fell into the abyss, and perished together.
Every minute, there are wonderful dramas of conspiracy, fraud, bribery, betrayal and counter-betrayal.
Every second, 100% human beings are branded as "monsters" or "demon cultivators" due to conflicts of interest and thrown into a bottomless dark prison.

Perhaps, the slaughter of humans against humans is always more cruel than the war between humans against monsters and demons.
May 19th, Shiroishi Special City on the west coast of the Main Continent of Tianji Star.
On the shuttle-assisted spiritual magnetic high-speed track in the suburbs, a new raid and arrest is underway in secret.
