Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 129 - 104. Jizhou Leiyin Temple, blockade Tongling_3

Fan Longhe and Ding Dian’s pupils shrank suddenly when they heard this, and they stared at Ding Buhai for more than a dozen breaths before Fan Longhe finally spoke.

"Don’t worry, the Holy Church Headquarters has already been informed about this matter. I’ve heard that they’re discussing which expert to send down. Master Fanyin just wants to make absolutely sure, so he’s waiting for the Headquarters’ expert. After the Rakshasa Festival, they will come together!"

Fan Longhe’s tone softened a bit, making Ding Buhai’s face look somewhat better. Ding Dian still maintained his demeanor, but he didn’t contradict Fan Longhe and, unusually, cooperated with him for once.

After all, their relationship with Ding Buhai was akin to that of officials and local gentry; both sides had their strengths on the same level, and each had their dependence on the other.

The bottom line for both parties was the same.

Ding Buhai had all his foundations here; he did not want to see Tongling County slaughtered, nor did he want to start over from scratch with the Great Luo Sect in a different place.

They felt the same way. If Tongling County really were to be devastated by demons, those from the Holy Sect who had been sent down here, though they might escape temporarily, couldn’t hide forever. The experts from the Headquarters would not let them off.

Ding Buhai, having received Fan Longhe’s guarantee, also spoke in a more gentle tone, as he remembered the news Elder Shen Xiao had just brought back, and addressed the two men.

"The massacre at Songyang Town proves that the Blood Demon’s healing has reached a critical stage. It’s not just seeking the Qi of martial artists but also civilians’, and its appetite might grow even larger!"

"Baiye, Yulin, Zhaoyang..."

Fan Longhe nodded and spoke in a somber tone, only mentioning three place names, and turned his head to look at Ding Dian, his gaze deep as he said, "Deputy Magistrate Ding, we still cannot neglect the investigation. Otherwise, when Master Fanyin arrives, if we’re ignorant and have no information to offer, I am afraid he might hold us accountable!"

Now it was Ding Dian’s turn to have an unpleasant expression. Hearing Fan Longhe’s words, anger rose from his heart, causing his chest to heave twice.

The nineteen casualties of this misfortune, even though they were from nine different families, ultimately, it was his Prison Admin Department that had the greatest loss.

In retrospect, it was Ding Dian’s miscalculation. He had thought that the area around the Prefectural City, where the activity of the demons was most frequent, would be the most dangerous. He hadn’t expected that the teams investigating the wilderness of the other three counties would all be annihilated as well.

But, of course, Ding Dian was not one to consider his own faults. Instead, he pushed all the blame onto Fan Longhe, so when Fan Longhe dared to suggest venturing out again for an investigation, Ding Dian was immediately infuriated. However, he wasn’t someone easily targeted and quickly thought of a retort, responding accordingly.

"What Lord Fan suggests is that the Great Luo Sect and the other eight sects still intend to provide men to assist our Prison Admin Department. However, my department hardly has any people left to spare. If we’re still expected to send out a scouting party, it seems that the Prefectural Magistrate’s Office will also need to lend a hand..."

Fan Longhe and Ding Buhai’s expressions changed simultaneously, and they remained speechless for a long time, until Ding Buhai was the first to break the silence.

"Even our Sect Elder Shen Xiao had an extremely narrow escape this time, and he’s a Half-Step Grandmaster. This shows that sending even more Gang Qi Realm experts would be useless. Now, we must truly act. My sect proposes that for this time, our three families deploy six Grandmaster Realm experts. This way, it’s not only much safer, but when Master Fanyin arrives, we can give a proper explanation to our superiors. What do you say?"

Fan Longhe and Ding Dian finally took a breath of relief. Both nodded in agreement, accepting Ding Buhai’s proposal...
