Human Clan Defender-Chapter 521 -s 259-260: Break and Rebuild (Two-in-One - , Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

"How does Your Majesty plan to solve the problem with the Demon Sealing Tower?"

"The Capital City is where the fate of Great Qin resides; powerful Demon Evils entering it will inevitably be suppressed by that fate. The Great Confucians of the Imperial College are all present, and even if a Great Demon makes a move, I believe it will not be easy to breach the Capital. Moreover, hasn’t the Hidden Heart Pavilion made significant research progress now?" Gu Xuanji gave Dongfang Zhao a deep look. "As long as monitoring is in place, there’s no possibility for the Demon Evil Clan to take advantage of any weakness."

"Your Majesty has a deep understanding of the Hidden Heart Pavilion," Dongfang Zhao said meaningfully.

The research achievements of the Hidden Heart Pavilion were supposed to be kept secret, but His Majesty had somehow also received some news. From this, it was clear there must be the Imperial Court’s eyes and ears within the Hidden Heart Pavilion. But these eyes and ears certainly couldn’t be core members. Because the core members of the Hidden Heart Pavilion had all been thoroughly investigated, allowing no room for any problems. This referred not to the Martial Hall or the Internal Affairs Hall, but solely to the Suppressing Evil Hall and the Demon Sealing Hall. If the people in these two Halls weren’t reliable, then it would be difficult to keep the Halls’ important secrets. At any time, the Demon-Subduing Division must have a trump card in hand.

Then, Dongfang Zhao said, "The results from the Hidden Heart Pavilion can now be implemented, but it will take at least a month to cover the entirety of Great Qin. Moreover, once those results are implemented, Great Qin will inevitably face a major purge. Has Your Majesty thought this through?"

"Without destruction, there can be no construction. Throughout the more than three hundred years of Great Qin, what kinds of storms haven’t we weathered? Even when the Demon Saint invaded in the past, I managed to inflict heavy damage on him. Defender Dongfang, you’ve been with the Demon-Subduing Division for too long. Too much peace has actually dulled your edge," Gu Xuanji said, his expression arrogant. He had absolute confidence in Great Qin’s strength.

Dongfang Zhao fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Your Majesty might be right. I’ve stayed with the Demon-Subduing Division for too long and have indeed lost some sharpness. Since Your Majesty sees no problem, I naturally won’t have any objection either. By tomorrow, the Hidden Heart Pavilion will present its results. In a month’s time, they can cover the entire Great Qin Nation. Should Your Majesty wish to lead the expedition in person, it would be best to wait another month. A month later, with Great Qin’s internal affairs stabilized, we can then lead our army to attack Great Zhou. Without internal stability, how can we speak of external campaigns?"

Gu Xuanji nodded. "Very well, then I shall wait one more month. During this time, if the Demon-Subduing Division needs any assistance from the Imperial Court, feel free to speak up. ’Nurture soldiers for a thousand days, use them for one moment.’ Now that the Imperial Court has supported them for so many years, it’s time for them to exert their strength." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

A month was neither long nor short, and a delay wasn’t a major issue. Therefore, he didn’t object to Dongfang Zhao’s proposal.

"This servant obeys the decree!"

"Very well, I have been out for some time, and there are still government affairs to deal with in the court, so I will take my leave first." Gu Xuanji stood up.

Dongfang Zhao also rose.

"No need to see me off; take care of the affairs of the Demon-Subduing Division."

"This servant respectfully sees Your Majesty off." Dongfang Zhao bowed deeply.

Then, he watched Gu Xuanji leave. After His Majesty had left the great hall, Dongfang Zhao still stood there, waiting silently for about an hour before finally saying, "Come forth!"

"Lord Defender, what are your instructions?" Qianzhan emerged from the shadows.

Dongfang Zhao said coolly, "Investigate who in the Suppressing Evil Hall and the Demon Sealing Hall is problematic. Once you find out, don’t act rashly. Just compile a list and bring it to me."

"Yes!" Qianzhan accepted the command and withdrew.

Once again, the vast hall fell into silence. Dongfang Zhao returned to his seat, his gaze deep.

The Suppressing Evil Hall and the Demon Sealing Hall were the true foundations of the Demon-Subduing Division; absolutely no instability could be tolerated within them.

For many years, the Demon-Subduing Division had long ceased to be an organization whose members’ fates could be decided by a single word from an outsider.

To him, the Demon-Subduing Division represented the lifeblood of generations; it could not afford any problems.

Even scouts from the Imperial Court had to be rooted out.

It wasn’t necessary to make a big move, but he at least needed to be aware of the situation.
