Chapter 192: Chapter 162: The Plan Targeting Changbai Mountain Begins

Li Yang spoke:

"Have you had enough of being the Emperor, and want to come back?"

Crow’s eyes widened immediately:

"I can come back?"

Li Yang glanced inside the room:

"We all miss you, it’s tough outside, so come back if you want."

Crow wanted to say ’yes,’ but the word got stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.

In his mind were the wolves, tigers, and leopards studying in the school, the monkeys playing in the valley, and Master Liu by the creek.

Crow knew that if he left those demons, they would all end up like Master Liu.

Crow swallowed the word ’yes’ back down and said gloomily:

"No, Master."

Li Yang looked at Crow with a hint of a smile:

"What? Don’t you want to come back to my side?"

Crow suddenly looked up:

"I do, I dream about it!"

Soon, he lowered his head again:

"But I can’t abandon those fools!"

Li Yang’s eyes were filled with amusement:

"You’ve finally understood what it means to be a leader."

Crow was taken aback.

Yes, since going to Changbai Mountain, his mentality had changed dramatically.

Originally, taking younger followers was to use them and enjoy the pleasure of being a king.

Now, he only wanted to protect those demons well.

Previously, he extracted from his followers, but now he was giving and worrying about them.

Crow’s gaze became firm:

"Master, please save the Demon Race!"

With that, Crow stepped back two paces, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Li Yang.

Li Yang knew what happened at Changbai Mountain, and he understood even more what happened at the Security Administration.

Cao Yi was, after all, a Senior Administrator at the Security Administration.

Li Yang looked at the moon and said softly:

"Do you know what the biggest difference between demons and humans is?"

Crow said bitterly:

"The biggest difference is that humans are unreasonable!"

Li Yang said:

"When your fists are big enough, you can be unreasonable too.

If a race does not have fangs that make other races fear it, it is just a piece of meat on a chopping board."

Crow was silent.

These words were undeniable.

Humans were stronger than demons, so they could bring demons to the brink of destruction and despair.

Crow asked:

"Then in your opinion, what is the biggest difference between demons and humans?"

Li Yang said:

"Humans know too much, so they have many desires.

Human desire is humans’ greatest weakness.

They can act recklessly for profit and also hesitate because of it."

Crow couldn’t understand, even though he was smart, he couldn’t grasp this point.

He suddenly kowtowed:

"Please enlighten me, Master!"

...

At two in the morning, Crow flew away.

Li Yang sat on the steps, uncertain about what he was thinking, taking out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth.

The door behind him opened, and Suzu came over in her cute little bear pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and squatted beside Li Yang.

"Did Little Crow leave?" she asked.

Li Yang nodded.

Suzu continued to ask:

"So what are your plans?

The Demon Race is very important to you, right?

If the administration really takes action against the Demon Race, you would suffer a significant loss too, wouldn’t you?"

Li Yang smoked intermittently, his gaze deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

...

Below Changbai Mountain, Iron Bull Ridge.

A sheriff’s car stopped at the foot of the mountain, flashing red and blue lights.

Bai Mountain City’s sheriff cars, sheriffs, were almost all deployed.

The military officers from Bai Mountain City were also fully armed, with armed vehicles ready at any moment.

Only some sheriffs and auxiliary officers were temporarily maintaining social order.

Today might witness a bloody conflict; to avoid negative impacts and uncontrollable factors, nearly all mountain roads near the Dry Basin were blocked.

Villagers wanting to gather medicine were stopped at the foot of the mountain.

"Why aren’t we allowed to climb the mountain!"

"If we can’t earn money, will you support us?!"

"Do you care if we live or die?!"

Facing the furious crowd, the sheriffs could only do their best to calm them.

At this moment, a thirty-something sheriff got out of a sheriff’s car, with a spring in his step, and anyone could tell he was walking on air.

His name was Xiang Jiaseng, son of Xiang Kunlun. For his merit in reporting Red Skirt, he was highly valued by the old director, and some in the Security Administration had noticed him.

Due to his important role in handling unusual incidents, the Security Administration was also considering making Xiang Jiaseng an administrator.

Xiang Jiaseng’s background had been investigated; his father was an old teacher, though his brother had some violations in business activities and had been punished.

Overall, his background was quite clean.

At this moment, Xiang Jiaseng felt like he was reaching the peak of his life and was rather arrogant toward the ordinary people.

He pointed at the crowd, yelling:

"The Security Department is handling a case; unauthorized personnel should stay away. Disturbing the process can get you locked up!"

This outcry did have some effect, as the medicine gatherers quieted down, though their eyes still held strong discontent.

Several black business cars drove in, and the sheriffs made way.

Xiang Jiaseng immediately showed a flattering expression, jogging over to open the door of the lead car.

Bai Ge, an Intermediate Administrator from Bai Mountain City, got out of the car, frowning:

"You need to pay attention to the Security Department’s image among the public."

Xiang Jiaseng laughed heartily, saying:

"They’re just a bunch of troublemakers looking for compensation; don’t worry about them."

Bai Ge nodded, glanced around, and waved Xiang Jiaseng over.

Xiang Jiaseng quickly leaned in.

Bai Ge whispered:

"The higher-ups want to send some people to explore the Demon Race’s territory, and they need someone familiar with the terrain of the Dry Basin. I recommended you."

Xiang Jiaseng was taken aback, eyes showing hesitation.

He was one of the few sheriffs who knew about the Demon Race and also knew how dangerous their territory was.

Thinking about going to such a place made him shrink back.

Bai Ge gave Xiang Jiaseng a dissatisfied look and continued:

"I’m giving you an opportunity here.

If you participate in this unusual event, once completed, I have confidence in getting you into the Security Administration."

Xiang Jiaseng’s body trembled with joy:

"I-I can join the Security Administration?!"

What kind of treatment does joining the Security Administration entail?

Compared to his current status, it would be equivalent to skipping four levels!

The joy of advancing in rank and wealth immediately dispelled his fear!

He happily agreed to this task.

Bai Ge nodded and waved to the car behind him.

From the Changbai Mountain administration, three members of Bai Ge’s fledgling eagle team got out.

Bai Ge instructed them:

"The Senior Administrator from South Sea is on the way.

Before the Senior Administrator arrives, you should scout the path.

Remember, if you encounter the Demon Race, do not act recklessly, prioritize your safety."

The administrators nodded in agreement.

They all knew who the Senior Administrator was.

The Sheriff of South Sea, Cao Yi.

If this powerful figure were to oversee the mission, everyone would have peace of mind.

After all, no military officer could act without Elder He’s orders from the Security Administration.

Bai Ge’s expression turned serious:

"Recording the Demon Race’s locations is crucial for this operation to capture Ye Fan. Everyone, stay safe!"
