Human Clan Defender-Chapter 543 -s 275-276 Investigate Two or Three Hundred Years Back (Combined - , Seeking Monthly Votes)_4

Moreover, intercepting the Demon Evil outside our borders would also ensure that the people of Great Qin remain unaffected.

Gu Xuanji nodded. "Your proposal is good. I have also been thinking about this matter these past few days. Keeping the Demon Evil at bay is always better than waging war within our borders. The fatalities and injuries among the common people would be greatly reduced, and my Great Qin could maintain stability. But there’s one problem: we must ensure the Star Plate does not malfunction. Otherwise, our interior might fall into a vulnerable state."

The Star Plate, although advantageous, was something he remained cautious about. If it were to malfunction again, the problem could become quite serious.

"Your Majesty need not worry excessively about this matter," Dongfang Zhao said confidently. "The Star Plate is the lifeblood of our Demon-Subduing Division and is unlikely to encounter problems. Furthermore, it is quite difficult for the Demon Evil to shield themselves from the Star Plate’s monitoring. We are not completely withdrawing the power of the Demon-Subduing Division, merely reducing it in part. Even if some Demon Evil do infiltrate, with the power of each prefecture, I believe suppressing them would not be a significant issue."

The more powerful the Demon Evil, the more difficult it is for them to hide their presence. He did not dismiss the possibility that the Demon Evil Clan truly possessed some powerful method of concealment, allowing some weaker Demon Evil to infiltrate. But as for powerful Demon Evil, the likelihood was not great. Even if each prefecture retained only a third of its original power, suppressing the situation would not be difficult.

Gu Xuanji pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Since you say so, then I have no objection. What’s the situation with the Eternal Alliance at the moment?"

"With the establishment of the Star Plate, the Eternal Alliance has also exposed their movements. The experts of the Demon-Subduing Division from various prefectures have taken action, eliminating quite a few demonfolk of the Eternal Alliance." Dongfang Zhao’s expression grew more solemn. "Furthermore, it’s precisely because of this opportunity that I’ve discovered the Eternal Alliance Master is not limited to the Martial Emperor alone."

"You mean to say there are other Eternal Alliance Masters?" Gu Xuanji furrowed his brow. The Eternal Alliance, a cancerous threat to Great Qin, was something he fundamentally detested, especially those traitors who submitted to the Demon Evil.

Dongfang Zhao nodded. "Exactly. In this battle with the Eternal Alliance, several individuals appeared as Eternal Alliance Masters. We can confirm one of them is the Martial Emperor, but the identities of the others remain uncertain for the time being. However, now that they’ve shown themselves, our Demon-Subduing Division will investigate thoroughly to ascertain their true identities."

"That would be for the best." Gu Xuanji’s expression remained calm as he lifted the teacup in front of him, which emitted faint steam. "The Eternal Alliance has existed for hundreds of years, not much shorter than the founding of our Great Qin. They claim that those who join the Eternal Alliance may attain the opportunity of eternal life. Although they exaggerate this point, the Eternal Alliance certainly possesses methods for prolonging life. The experts within the Eternal Alliance may not necessarily be the current individuals. Looking back two to three hundred years might yield some clues."

The Eternal Alliance claimed eternal life, so it would be implausible if there were no individuals within the Alliance with extended lifespans.

Dongfang Zhao said, "I understand this matter, Your Majesty, but such an investigation would be rather troublesome. There are already many experts in the world today. If we were to investigate two to three hundred years into the past, the number of experts from that era would be substantial. While perhaps not as numerous as the stars, there would still be a great many. Especially since so much time has passed, many traces have vanished. In this situation, uncovering the truth would be exceedingly difficult."

However, he did not refuse. The identities of the Eternal Alliance Masters must be investigated. Otherwise, allowing the enemy to change identities at will throughout the land could lead to endless trouble.

Gu Xuanji spoke gravely, "With the establishment of the Star Plate, many Demon Evil within Great Qin have been purged. Our Imperial Court now holds an absolute advantage in the Great Wilderness Prefecture. While the Barbarian Clan hasn’t been entirely expelled, they’ve been all but driven out. My time is running short, and to continue waiting would be a mere waste of time. Therefore, I have decided to personally lead an expedition in three days. I will command the army into Luo’an Prefecture and then attack Great Zhou. As for you, have you made your decision?"

Upon hearing these words, Dongfang Zhao cupped his fists. "By Your Majesty’s command, how could I refuse? I shall naturally accompany the army and expand the territory for our Great Qin!"
