Chapter 720: Chapter 412: Holy Alliance Heavenly Destiny! Heavenly Furnace Great Elder!

On this land, over a hundred Holy Lands forged a sacred alliance, forming the Holy Alliance.

Today, the headquarters of the Holy Alliance is situated at the central position of this land.

After a thousand years of construction, the city now spans vast territories and thrives in prosperity.

It is devoid of the protection of the Ancient Old Gods, and it is neither a Holy Land, Blessed Land, nor Pure Land...

The peace and stability here are upheld by the powerful upper echelon of the Human Clan, deterring evil in all directions!

This is an exceptionally pure Human Clan city, a haven supported and sustained by the strength of the Human Clan’s elite.

And this city is hailed as: Heavenly Destiny!

It is here where the headquarters of the Holy Alliance is located!

The Demon Suppression Department follows the orders of the Holy Alliance high command, and its main hall is also situated within this city!

Today, half of the upper echelon of the Demon Suppression Department has gathered here.

"What an arrogant scoundrel!"

A garrison commander in the main hall, his aura surging to the skies, shouted angrily: "How dare he kill a Thousand Households of my Demon Suppression Department! Who on earth is this rogue, to behave with such blatant arrogance?"

To his left, a middle-aged man in light-colored long robes, with an air of elegance, softly replied: "The intelligence on this individual is still being collected, but it appears that an invisible force is aiding him in remaining hidden."

Another burly man spoke in a deep voice: "It seems this individual’s background is extraordinary, for the power behind him possesses the capability to covertly obstruct the investigations of my Demon Suppression Department?"

The middle-aged scholar continued to pore over the dossiers, remaining silent.

The garrison commander angrily exclaimed: "No matter who he is, trampling on the laws of the Holy Alliance and killing a Thousand Households of my Demon Suppression Department — he deserves death!"

"His crimes go beyond the murder of a single Thousand Households of the Demon Suppression Department."

Spreading out the dossier, the middle-aged scholar said: "The Mountain King Manor’s tiger, a Demon King rivaling the Creation Peak, who had protected the local people for years, was slain by this man! Alongside over a thousand members of the Human Clan in the Mountain King Manor, not one survivor!"

"According to the dossier submitted, Thousand Households Peng detected unusual activity, led a contingent of troops, and sought to apprehend him."

"This man did not submit, but instead, rose up fiercely, slaughtered Thousand Households Peng, and massacred over 300 soldiers."

"As for another 700 soldiers, they were suppressed by him beneath the deep pit in the ruins of Mountain King Manor, and were rescued by forces sent from Southern King City."

As the middle-aged scholar passed around the dossier,

the upper echelons of the Demon Suppression Department present grew increasingly enraged.

"So it seems this man’s crimes are numerous — executing him a thousand times would still be too lenient!"

Seated in a high position, the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s main hall shouted in anger: "Issue the directive immediately! Let all Demon Suppression Departments across the lands spare no effort in hunting this man down and promptly capturing him!"

He slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "I refuse to believe that some unknown figure can suppress my entire Demon Suppression Department to the point where it can’t lift its head!"

"Actually..."

The middle-aged scholar pondered aloud: "According to the dossier, the events regarding the Mountain Lord and the annihilation of Mountain King Manor still carry uncertainties, and there may be hidden truths."

The Deputy Commander responded in a deep voice: "Regardless of any underlying truths, his murder of my Demon Suppression Department’s Thousand Households and over 300 soldiers is an unequivocal fact!"

"Even taking the worst-case scenario, where he wasn’t the true culprit behind Mountain King Manor’s destruction, the fact remains that instead of cooperating with our investigation to clear his name, he chose to slaughter hundreds of our soldiers — this alone is an unforgivable crime!"

"I will personally issue the directive, and if there are no objections, it shall be sent to all Demon Suppression Departments today for a full-scale manhunt."

His face darkened as he added: "I will also report this matter to the Holy Alliance, requesting full cooperation from all Holy Lands."

"..."

The middle-aged scholar hesitated but stopped mid-sentence, glancing at the Deputy Commander, ultimately choosing to remain silent.

At this moment, an elderly man clad in the Inspection Envoy’s long robe shook his head slightly and said: "I have some doubts."

The Deputy Commander’s expression shifted slightly, his domineering demeanor waning as he spoke with some respect in a low voice: "Senior Zhou, what are your thoughts?"

"The Mountain King Manor matter carries uncertainties, and let us not rush to conclusions."

Inspector Zhou, stroking his beard, muttered: "Thousand Households Peng led over a thousand elite troops to encircle and hunt him down, only to be wiped out by this man... Yet, he left behind 700 elites — why is that?"

Smoothing his beard, he added: "If this man were an utterly ruthless villain, he should have slaughtered them all!"

"Regardless, the deaths of our Demon Suppression Department soldiers — hundreds of them, including six Hundred Households and one Thousand Households — are not fabricated."

The Deputy Commander slowly added: "Senior, you wish to suggest that this man is not inherently bloodthirsty. But, it is also an indisputable fact that he has committed numerous crimes worthy of death!"

Inspector Zhou deliberated for a moment before falling silent as well.

At this time, however, a middle-aged man spoke gravely: "I suggest reporting to the Holy Alliance first before making any decisions!"

"Is it not just capturing a rogue? Why make it so troublesome?"

The Deputy Commander frowned and said: "The necessary documents can be submitted to the Holy Alliance afterward — we can supplement them later. This rogue possesses martial prowess rivaling the Human Martial Saint. If he’s not captured swiftly and manages to transcend his limits, he may become a major catastrophe!"

"..."

The middle-aged man shook his head and replied: "There remain many suspicious points in this matter."

"Brother Liang, even if you harbor grievances against me, you should set them aside. Now, this rogue roams freely, disgracing our Demon Suppression Department, trampling on the laws of the Holy Alliance, threatening Human Clan safety across the regions, and undermining those non-human elite powerhouses willing to protect the Human Clan!"

The Deputy Commander’s face turned cold as he spoke sternly.

The middle-aged man maintained a calm tone as he said: "This matter, you ought to avoid suspicion."

The Deputy Commander asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Your son-in-law, three years ago, was promoted from a city’s Supreme Commander to the main hall and appointed a garrison commander. As far as I know, he once served as a Colonel stationed at Mountain King Manor. In merely fifteen years, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds — he is truly a genius!"
