The black demonic aura surged, carrying a chilling presence, permeating this small world. The skeleton helmsman restored his true form, the terrifying figure of the Demon Tribe exuding explosive power, clearly presented before Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo.
"You... you..."
Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo revealed terrified expressions, looking at the skeleton helmsman with disbelief and fear in their eyes.
"This is impossible... you... you are from a different race?"
As the branch master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo belonged to its upper echelons, yet they were not part of the core high-ranking individuals. Thus, their understanding of the mysterious black-clothed individuals within the Law Enforcement Hall was quite limited.
Even with this limited knowledge, they had vaguely heard some things: there was a mysterious department within the Law Enforcement Hall, extremely secretive, managed solely by the Piao Miao Palace. It was rumored that these individuals had intricate ties to the legendary beings of the other races, making them a taboo within the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, they had never truly seen them and were only half-convinced.
Until the Ancient Ruins Realm opened, and disciples from the Piao Miao Palace and the Law Enforcement Hall came to the Ancient Ruins Realm. As the master of the Jizhou branch, Qi Xiong came to welcome them and witnessed that group of mysterious black-clothed individuals, exuding a bizarre aura and emanating a chilling power, which made him vaguely believe in this rumor.
After the Ancient Ruins Realm concluded, various forces spread the word that the black-clothed individuals from the Law Enforcement Hall were indeed members of the Demon Tribe, having cruelly harmed the powerful figures of various forces in the Ancient Ruins Realm. This led Qi Xiong to completely believe in all of this.
The mysterious department arranged by the Piao Miao Palace within the Law Enforcement Hall consisted of beings from the other races.
Now, with the skeleton helmsman revealing his identity as a member of the Demon Tribe before Qi Xiong, it instantly shocked him.
"How is this possible? How can this be?"
Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo exchanged glances, their eyes widening in disbelief, their bodies involuntarily trembling.
In their subconscious, if the Empress was cooperating with the Demon Tribe, even arranging for people to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, then the Demon Tribe must be on the same side as the Empress.
But now, these Demon Tribe members were actually attacking the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, shattering their long-held beliefs.
"Hehe, what's impossible about this? We serve in the name of the Empress and are cleansing the Law Enforcement Hall, but we cannot reveal our true identities, so we can only disguise ourselves as a mysterious organization," the skeleton helmsman cackled.
"Why does the Empress want to cleanse our Law Enforcement Hall?" Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo muttered.
"Very simple, during the Ancient Ruins Realm expedition, the Law Enforcement Hall has already exposed its collusion with the Demon Tribe. Although the Empress emerged victorious, the people of the various forces are well aware that there are indeed members of the Demon Tribe within the Law Enforcement Hall. To regain the trust of the various forces and continue to lull them, the Empress arranged for us to cleanse the Law Enforcement Hall. You two just happened to be caught in the crossfire," the skeleton helmsman sneered.
"We in the Law Enforcement Hall fight for the Empress, how could she do this?"
Qi Xiong and Yuan Tuo shouted, unwilling to believe.
"Hahaha, even as we fight for the Empress, the Law Enforcement Hall is just a knife in her hand, a dog at her feet. Just like a chamber pot, it’s convenient when in use, but once used, it becomes disgusting, and one wishes to kick it aside. Now that your chamber pot has been exposed, the Empress naturally needs to clean it up. Understand?" The skeleton helmsman stated word by word.
"I don't believe it; you are lying to us. You must be lying to us!"
