Junior Uncle is too cunning.

At this moment, Wang Chong not only produced the seal of the military commander, but also the Immortal-Binding Chain, which could only mean that there was really a problem with the garrison in Beihai.

It even alarmed the Jade Emperor, who then dispatched Li Shundao and others to investigate the case.

In fact, the generals already knew the situation clearly at this point. As soon as Wang Chonggang mentioned the late-night meeting between Zhong Yu and the other four the day before, they vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Wang Chong and the others had no idea that, having stayed in Beihai for so long, they were well aware that Shi Mo Juli was Zhong Yu's confidant.

Li Shundao had just arrived and embarrassed Zhong Yu during the day. Then, the five of them had a late-night meeting. It would be strange if there were no problems!

Whether they had something to say or not, whether they felt guilty or not, they dared not speak up for Shi Mo anymore. They even wanted to shut him up to prevent him from talking nonsense.

Wang Chong slowly walked up to Shi Mo, finally feeling relieved. He said to Zhou Zhi and the other man, "Take him away and keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to visit him without my order; otherwise, they will be punished as accomplices."

As he spoke, he glanced lightly at the generals in the hall. Faced with Wang Chong's scrutiny, they all behaved extremely meekly, staring straight ahead and behaving very obediently.

"promise"

Zhou Zhi and his companion bowed, then grabbed Shi Mo on either side and dragged him out like a corpse.

Wang Chong returned to his original position, glanced at the generals, and slowly said, "Thank you all for your cooperation. I will definitely give a truthful account after the commander returns."

"Don't dare, don't dare"

Upon hearing this, the generals quickly and modestly replied.

Wang Chong didn't care whether their feelings were genuine or not; he figured that with the precedent of graphite, he could keep them in check for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Zhi had returned, holding a black token. He respectfully handed it to Wang Chong and then returned to the door without moving. Wang Chong glanced at him and continued, "There is another matter that requires the cooperation of all the generals. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, such as a riot caused by Zhong Yu's faction," he paused, "Please hand over your tokens temporarily. We will deal with them after the commander returns."

Upon hearing that they were required to hand over their tokens, the generals in the hall all frowned. Although a general's token, unlike a marshal's token, could not control the base, it was still essential for commanding a large army.

Without a token, they have no way to lead an army, so what kind of generals are they?

However, Wang Chong was right. If there were any of Zhong Yu's men among them, once they went out with the token, they could at least mobilize a large army.

These are all True Immortals and Profound Immortals who have seen bloodshed; if they were to cause trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a brief standoff, the second person on the left calmly stepped forward. He knew that handing over the token at this moment was actually a good thing, since even if they themselves were not Zhong Yu's henchmen, they couldn't stop his subordinates from having them.

Once they take the lead in rebellion, then even if they don't want to, they will have to rebel.

Although handing over the token at this time would strip him of his military power, it would at least put Wang Chong and others at ease and also buy the commander a favor.

With one person involved, the others no longer hesitated. Whether they were dragged into it or did so willingly, Wang Chong's second step in consolidating power was complete.

Looking at the large stack of tokens in his hand, a smile flashed in Wang Chong's eyes. He kindly reassured the generals for a while before leading Zhou Zhi out of the main hall.

As for the legion commanders, according to Li Shundao's orders, they will be temporarily placed under house arrest in the main hall for a period of time.

Wang Chong left Zhou Zhi outside the door and went to check on Shi Mo first, but received no information.

Pang Long guarded the stone, Zhou Zhi guarded the main hall, and Wang Chong could only carry a large stack of tokens and start running around among the various armies. It took him three whole days to finally reorganize the army left at the base.

"Whoo~"

Wang Chong stretched his back slightly, his face showing exhaustion, but he had finally finished. Looking at the vast ocean outside the base, a hint of worry appeared on his face: "I wonder how things are going at the Commandery?"

……

"Commander, there are demons attacking the defense line in Canyon No. 3. I need to go and investigate," Zhong Yu rushed in, his face full of anxiety.

Li Shundao listened calmly, recalling the defenses of Canyon No. 3 the day before. Although he didn't know what Zhong Yu was planning to do next, it was definitely related to Canyon No. 3.

He stood up abruptly: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Commander, this is too dangerous. Why don't you stay here and hold the line? I'll take the First Legion. Don't worry, we definitely won't let a single demon break through the Great Canyon," Zhong Yu said with concern.

Li Shundao stared at him for a moment, his face turning cold: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go together. My men have been on the battlefield, we're not so pampered."

“Alright then, Commander, please follow me,” he said, and went out the door first. Li Shundao followed closely behind, looking at Zhong Yu’s back with a few thoughtful glances in his eyes.

Whether Zhong Yu was using reverse psychology or luring him into a trap, I just hope he won't disappoint me too much.

The superior-grade flying boat was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, it had already arrived at Canyon No. 3, and the sounds of battle could be heard from afar.

Yuwen Lei looked at Li Shundao and Zhong Yu who came out, and his anxiety lessened. He quickly bowed and explained the situation.

After listening, Zhong Yu pondered for a moment and asked Li Shundao, "Commander, what do you mean?"

“You are the marshal of the Beihai garrison and are familiar with this place, so it would be better if you took command. I will stay here and keep watch. Just tell me if you need anything,” Li Shundao said, looking solemnly at the abyss not far away.

Two days ago when I came here, everything was calm and the sea was flat. Now, however, demons are constantly emerging, and the azure sea has been dyed red. Corpses are falling down, some of them demons and some of them. There are screams and fighting, and it looks even more intense than the battle between humans and demons.

"Alright, Commander, I'll go first," he said, bowing and waving to the First Legion behind him. The army split into three groups and blocked the way.

Just as Yuwen Lei was about to follow, Li Shundao called out to him, "General Yuwen, please wait a moment."

Yuwen Lei glanced at Zhong Yu in the distance and asked in a low voice, "What are your orders, Commander?"

Li Shundao glanced at the distant battlefield and calmly asked, "Has Canyon No. 3 always been like this?"

Yuwen Lei lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "The intensity of the attacks today is higher than usual. In the past, the most attacked were Hongli Demon Lord and Nianyu Demon Lord, but today even Mangnui Demon Lord from Canyon No. 1 and Shayu Demon Lord from Canyon No. 2 have appeared."

Li Shundao frowned. Four demon lords?

Seeing Li Shundao frown, Yuwen Lei assumed he wasn't familiar with these demon lords, so he explained in detail.

"Hongli Demon Lord's true form is a red carp, around the peak of the early stage of Demon Lord. Nianyu Demon Lord's true form is a catfish, a Demon Lord in the middle stage. The two of them are the main demon race commanders of the Abyss No. 3 Canyon."

The true form of the Mangniu Demon Lord is a large water buffalo, and he is also at the peak of the early stage of the Demon Lord realm. He usually stays in the No. 1 Canyon.

As for the Demon Lord of Canyon No. 2, his true form is a mutated shark, and his cultivation is the highest among the four demons, possessing the cultivation of a mid-stage Demon Lord.

Having formed a general idea in his mind, Li Shundao continued, "Has this happened before?"

Yuwen Lei shook his head decisively and said, "Never before. In the past, everyone conquered their own canyon."

Li Shundao glanced at Zhong Yu, who was already engaged in battle in the distance, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, but he did not delve into it.

"Besides these four demon lords, are there any other demon lords in the Abyss? For example, demon lords at the late stage or perfect stage, or demon kings?"

“There are a few late-stage Demon Lords, but they don’t often appear in the world. They usually live in the abyss. Only Marshal Zhong Yu has seen them. As for Demon Kings, I have never heard of them,” Yuwen Lei shook his head.

Li Shundao nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."
