Chapter 175: The Demon-Extermination Order

Everyone knows that as the ruler of a country, one often has the final say.

Every word and action may cause huge waves.

For example, at this moment, when Lu Changjing issued the order to exorcise demons, the entire Golden Palace fell silent.

Everyone knew that after Lu Changjing's few words, the entire Daning Dynasty would be shaken in the days to come.

Even the pro-war court officials did not expect that the Emperor would be so powerful this time and actually directly issued an order to exorcise the demon.

Originally, in their opinion, after what happened last night, it would be good enough if His Majesty the Emperor could stand on their side and fight against demons and monsters.

But I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor was not only determined to be the enemy of demons and monsters, but was determined to fight them to the death.

Many court officials who supported the peace proposal suddenly changed their expressions and wanted to step out to speak, but they saw that their leaders were looking away, as if they had not heard anything. Some even expressed their support for the Emperor and remained silent for a while.

Even several ministers supported His Majesty, so what was the point of their opposition? So they fell silent.

The pro-war faction still hoped that the peace faction would be able to step forward to block the enemy and prevent them from taking such a big step. However, they did not expect that the peace faction was calmer than them and were a little confused for a moment.

Who are the pro-war faction and who are the pro-peace faction?
Jin Longyu, Zhao Jintian, Gao Huijing... What's wrong with these traitors who support peace? Are they crazy? They actually allowed His Majesty to issue such an order.

Why not compromise and cut off contact with the demons and monsters first, and then slowly deal with them later?

But now even the peace faction has remained silent and agreed with His Majesty's decision. How can the war faction open its mouth? If so, wouldn't the world mistakenly believe that they are the peace faction?

In this way, the Demon-Exorcism Order was successfully issued and spread throughout the Daning Dynasty at an astonishing speed. Countless martial artists from the martial arts world and the imperial court... responded to the call and slayed demons and monsters everywhere in exchange for two rewards, or even more rewards.

After receiving this news, the entire Demon Suppression Bureau fell silent.

Although I have heard from Lei Zhengfei that the current Da Ning Dynasty is no longer ruled by the peace faction, but by the war faction and His Majesty the Emperor.

But all the demon-suppressing people were still somewhat skeptical. Even those who already believed were worried that the Da Ning Dynasty would go back on its word in the future.

But as the demon-killing order was issued, there was no turning back for the pro-war faction or even the pro-peace faction.

Even their dignified Demon Suppression Bureau did not dare to issue such an order to exorcise demons, but Emperor Daning was so stubborn that he actually issued an order to exorcise demons, calling on ordinary people and warriors throughout the dynasty to hunt down demons and monsters.

He even publicly stated that he could assist the Demon Suppression Bureau in slaying demons and eliminating evil. This move was not only supporting the Demon Suppression Bureau, it was even more powerful than the Demon Suppression Bureau itself.

Those demon-suppressing people who had regretted going to the palace to help the Daning royal family were now speechless.

This one demon-killing order alone is enough to make up for the previous targeting of the Demon-Suppression Bureau by the Daning royal family.

Moreover, the Daning Dynasty also revealed that they would make the Jinyiwei who had previously harmed the Demon Suppression Division pay the price, and sent them to the front line to fight against demons and monsters, with a very high mortality rate. This made the people of the Demon Suppression Division speechless. They also knew that instead of directly killing these Jinyiwei who colluded with demons and monsters, it would be better to let them make some contributions to the Demon Suppression Division and the people of Daning before they died. This would be better.

It can not only avenge the many demon-suppressing people who died tragically, but also reduce their losses in the future.

Lei Zhengfei was also overwhelmed by Lu Changjing's gift. He went directly to meet Lu Changjing to thank him for his support for the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Lu Changjing also had a good impression of this upright director of the Demon Suppression Department, who cared more about the common people than the royal family of Daning, and specially invited him to dinner.

And he confirmed again that in the future Daning could cooperate with the Demon Suppression Bureau to deal with demons and monsters in the country, and even outside the country. As long as they have relevant information, Daning can send people outside to slay demons and monsters.

This is done not only for the demon-suppressing value, but also for the materials on these demons and monsters.

After confirming that Emperor Daning was on their side, Lei Zhengfei went back happily and took the initiative to unite the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, and local garrisons... to clear out the demons and monsters in the Daning Dynasty.

Thanks to the previous battle in the palace, several dozen demon kings, monster kings, ghost kings, and monster kings of the Daning Dynasty were killed, especially the level 20 demon and ghost kings, more than half of them died.

Under such circumstances, the Daning Dynasty and the Demon Suppression Division were unstoppable, killing many demons and monsters.
The joint efforts of the Daning Dynasty and the Demon Suppression Bureau to eliminate demons not only caused the collapse of many demon forces, but also brought a force that had existed in the Daning Dynasty for nearly a hundred years to the brink of collapse.

Golden Flower Club!
This is a force whose purpose is to fight against the Ning and destroy the demons, similar to the Red Flower Society in the previous life, but the Golden Flower Society here is much more powerful than the Red Flower Society.

The members of the Golden Flower Society are basically people who were betrayed by the peace faction, or they are the relatives and friends of these people.

They quietly united, killing the demons and monsters that killed their relatives and friends in the past, while opposing the Daning Dynasty, especially the Jinyiwei, and assassinating those who betrayed them and advocated peace.

In recent years, many peace-promoting officials and Jinyiwei masters were assassinated by them, which caused Ning Tianbao, Ning Zhongyu and the peace-promoting people a lot of headaches.

Now that the peace faction has been taken down by Lu Changjing, they have become a sword in his hand. Lu Changjing is taking the path of the war faction and will never collude with demons and monsters to sell out his own people. Now he has even issued an order to exorcise demons.

A large number of Jinyiwei and peace faction masters cooperated with the Demon Suppression Bureau to slay demons and monsters everywhere, including some of the monsters that had previously harmed the Golden Flower Society, which made the members of the Golden Flower Society a little confused.

"This... this... the Peace Party has started to slay demons and help us get revenge. So should we still assassinate the people from the Peace Party and the Jinyiwei?"

"What happened to the Daning Dynasty? A few days ago, they were so affectionate with those monsters and ghosts that they even wanted to sleep in the same bed with them. How come they suddenly became like this? What happened?"

"I heard that the peace faction was passed down by the old emperor, but the young emperor was unwilling to follow the policy of peace. However, he was alone and weak before, so the peace faction controlled the power. It was not until recently that he overthrew the peace faction and regained power in the court. He immediately abolished the national policy of the peace faction and became the leader of the pro-war faction."

"Does this mean that during the reign of the young emperor, there will be no more peacemakers, and we don't need to fight against Ning and destroy the demons."
