Chapter 580 My Opponent is Greedy, But I'm Even Greedier

Shuangxue soothed Xie Qingqing's emotions while getting down to business."What!?" Xie Qingqing jumped to her feet, her eyes wide with disbelief."He's not, Jianguo isn't!""Jianguo has no relation to the Demon Clan!"Shuangxue said calmly, "Xie Jianguo suffered an injury when he was young, leaving him with a hidden ailment that limits his cultivation to the seventh realm. But the Demon Clan told him that if he cooperated, they would give him a large amount of pure demonic energy to help him heal his ailment.""And now, come with me to the local inspectorate to turn yourself in."Xie Qingqing's mind went blank.Shuangxue said gently, "Let's go now, and you'll see your husband tonight.""You promise!" Xie Qingqing gripped Shuangxue's hand tightly.Shuangxue said earnestly, "In the name of the Marshal's daughter, I promise you that you will definitely see your husband tonight.""Okay, I'll cooperate!" Did Xie Qingqing have any other choice? She could only grasp at this one last straw.Soon, Xie Qingqing arrived at the local inspectorate, carrying the forged document Shuangxue had created.Whether the document was real or fake was irrelevant; the military inspectorate was subordinate to the military headquarters, and the head of the military was called the Marshal.A single message from Shuangxue was enough to make the head of the bureau cooperate obediently.Soon, news that Xie Jianguo was a demon spy reached Mo Xian's ears at the front lines.In the inspectorate's office.The director looked at Shuangxue and said with a forced smile, "Miss, may I leave now?"Shuangxue coldly shook her head, "Do you have urgent business tonight?""Just sit here." Xie Qingqing was also there. A mother, a young girl, and a fat, greasy director—the three of them just sat in the head office, doing nothing and going nowhere.But things were different at the front lines.Mo Xian had received Li An's orders.He summoned the army commander-in-chief to the city gates, as well as the top one hundred combat troops from the entire war zone."Tonight we have an important mission: rescue Xie Jianguo."Upon hearing this,the eyes of those below lit up: "How?"If it were easy, they would have acted already.The demon's small fortress was only ten meters from the execution formation.Commander Balza was also stationed outside the formation.Furthermore, the execution formation's operation had been altered; what wouldn't kill instantly could become a deadly one.Three points.The troops inside the demon fortress, Commander Balza, and the formation.None of these problems could be solved by anyone.Mo Xian called everyone over, and everyone thought he could solve them.Unexpectedly, he said, "No need to fight, use money to ransom."This left Er Zhang even more confused.Do you have money, or does the demon realm have money?Do they need your little bit of money?As for coming up with a huge sum of money, that's even more impossible. If they had to squeeze out money, what about the other soldiers' salaries?And how do they trade with them? Cash on delivery is an idealistic fantasy. What if someone uses underhanded tactics we can't understand, leaving us with nothing?These are all problems, problems that these lowly soldiers can't possibly come up with solutions to, much less make decisions about!Mo Xian, however, remained completely calm, having already prepared his response. He said in a deep voice, "The Inspectorate has sent word.""We must bring Xie Jianguo back.""Because he's a demon spy, and his schemes are far-reaching.""The higher-ups have already allocated funds; we must bring him back for rigorous interrogation. We can't let him die like this.""He has greater value."These words caused an uproar. The highly respected veteran Cui Meng slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Bullshit!""How could Xie Jianguo be a demon spy!""I'm going to the Inspectorate!""I don't believe it!"Mo Xian remained expressionless, saying, "I've obtained the evidence, irrefutable!""The district chief isn't here now; I and Lao Lin have the final say."He looked down at Lin Chengxia, who saw the man's brow furrowed, also full of questions."Really?"Mo Xian said helplessly, "Don't believe me?"He directly produced the Inspectorate's official documents and placed them in front of everyone.But the previously enraged veteran, Cui Meng, still refused to believe it, angrily saying, "Fine, fine, I understand!""You never intended to save Old Xie; you just thought they were a burden to the entire war zone, and that death was better than life!""You want them dead!""You beasts!!"Mo Xian took a deep breath and said, "Old Cui, sit down!"He took out a spatial ring, rummaged through the mountain of source energy liquid inside, and said coldly, "If we really wanted him dead, why would the higher-ups give us so much money!?""Do you think this is a joke?""Have you forgotten?""Xie Jianguo suffered from a hidden ailment years ago, preventing him from ever breaking through to the eighth realm. He was persuaded by the demons because of this. Like I said, the evidence is irrefutable!""Isn't this how the demon realm operates? They bribe people you all think are impossible to betray!""Alright, that's settled.""I'll personally negotiate with them. All of you wait for my news!""You must capture Xie Jianguo and bring him to justice!"Having said that, he made the decision, went out, and gathered everyone.Then, the hundreds of soldiers left their seats and went outside, each with a complex expression on their face.No one had expected things to develop this way.Mo Xiaosao, hidden in the shadows high above, watched the passing soldiers one by one.Finally, he saw one of them tell the others he was going to urinate, then leave. He then took out a strange rune from a dark corner and secretly transmitted something.Mo Xiaosao quickly informed Li An of this.Li An, disguised as a common soldier on the city wall, had a faint blue light flickering in his eyes.He stared intently at the enemy's fortress and their leader, Balza.They've arrived!A demon soldier emerged from the miniature fortress, approached Balza, and leaned down to say a few words.Balza listened, nodded silently, and then fell silent.Then Mo Xian led hundreds of soldiers out of the city gate.Li An thought, "That should be it."The demon realm is a dog-eat-dog world.What will the opposing commanders' reaction be when they hear that Xie Jianguo is actually one of their own?Whether this person is one of ours or not is irrelevant.What matters is that the human race knows.Then this person becomes unimportant.He will undoubtedly die.However,He can't die immediately. If he dies immediately, the human race will know there's a traitor within their ranks.What a coincidence!They just finished a meeting, and here they kill the person they want?So Xie Jianguo won't die immediately.At this time, the demon race also knows we need to pay ransom, and things will be different.The demon race is extremely greedy!They will definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of Xie Jianguo.They want the money, and they want him dead.It's probably not that simple.Li An looked up into the distance. The demon realm headquarters fortress had begun mobilizing, loading up its forces.It seems the war is inevitable, and killing one more person is truly a bonus.Then, Mo Xian led the hundred or so men out of the city to prepare for negotiations with the other side. The enemy was unaware that among these hundreds of humans lay a powerful figure they had never faced before, named Lin He.If they really wanted to rescue people, why all this trouble?With Mo Xiaosao and Lin He working together, couldn't they break a formation? With space and Lin He's speed, who couldn't they rescue?But Li An wanted more than that.His opponents were greedy, but he was even greedier.He needed to find the traitor, and he wanted to collect mountains of demon heads. He couldn't let anyone know about Mo Xiaosao's eyes watching the rear right now.If everything went smoothly, he could feast on the Qi Luck Pearl tonight and see if he could reach the threshold of physical sainthood.
