I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

As the demonic scourges in various regions were swept away by Toyokawa with lightning speed.

Since Toyokawa took office, all the demonic scourges that occurred in various places have been eliminated.

All the states and prefectures enjoyed a period of relative peace and tranquility.

Another month has passed, in a secluded place.

In the dimly lit underground space, tung oil lamps flickered, emitting a dim, yellowish light.

In each of the four corners of the underground space, there is a pear wood armchair.

At this moment, in each seat sat a hunched figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask.

"Damn it, we were so close to completing the plan!"

One of the shadowy figures said angrily.

"Hehe, this new inspector is really something!"

We released more than a dozen demonic beasts at once, and in less than a month, they were all wiped out by him.

And they were all publicly reduced to ashes, leaving not a single hair behind. That's really ruthless!

What a waste! If this were any other inspector, they would have been skinned alive, bled dry, and had their heart ripped out.

Those are all valuable items from demonic beasts! It's such a waste to just let them go to waste!

Another hoarse voice rang out.

"Can we really fool him by doing this? Are we sure we can make it look real?"

Another weak voice came through.

"I don't know! But how much could a naive and inexperienced kid like him possibly discover?"

After all, with so many monsters and no one to manage them, quite a few people would be eating them every day.

Even if a significant number of people went missing before, blaming it all on these demonic beasts is enough!

A deep voice sounded, and although the words were spoken, the tone carried a hint of hesitation.

"So what do we do now? Just wait like this? We don't have much time left, we can't wait many more years!"

The weak voice came again.

"Sigh, what else can we do if we don't wait? I'm advising everyone to be more restrained lately. Don't ruin things for yourselves and hurt everyone else!"

The somber voice replied once more.

"Hmph, how many people can he control all by himself? We can use a feint attack to the east while striking in the west, combining deception with reality."

The resentful shadow spoke again.

"Oh? How do you do it? Explain in detail?"

The hoarse voice rang out again.

"Hmph, cooperating with you is an insult to our intelligence!"

After a while, once the storm has passed, release a few monsters in other prefectures, and we'll take advantage of the situation to carry out our own plans.

This time, however, we can't arrest ordinary people. We can find some bandits or vagrants. If all else fails, beggars will do.

Despite his disdain for the other three, the resentful shadowy figure revealed his plan.

"Hmm, that's possible, but how many more people are we short?"

A deep voice asked.

“100 boys and 100 girls, and 500 young adults.”

The resentful shadow replied.

"What? Still so far! Do we really have to go that far?"

He asked in a hoarse voice.

"What? At this point, you're not thinking of backing out now, are you?"

The resentful shadow looked at him with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Haha, how could that be? I just feel that the gap is a bit too big, and it's not good to openly arrest people now, so it's really difficult to handle!"

The hoarse voice quickly replied.

"Hmph, that's your problem! I don't care how difficult things are, I just want the result."

We're all in this together now, so I advise you not to waste your time on pointless schemes.

Otherwise, none of you here, and none of your families, will have an easy time!

The resentful shadow said viciously.

"Hey, it's not that bad! We didn't say we wouldn't do it."

But now, the newly appointed inspector is at the height of his power.

If we act rashly, it will be easy for them to discover some clues.

If he follows the trail, then it will likely be a disaster for us!

The weak voice came again.

"Alright then, let's keep things quiet for a while. But no more than three months!"

Three months from now, action must be taken. Otherwise, years of planning will be in vain.

No one wants to work hard for years only to end up with nothing, right?

"That's what the resentful shadowy figure said."

"Haha, of course! Who wants to die young if they can live a few more years?"

The weak voice rang out again.

"Alright, that's all for today. Let's all disperse! One last reminder: don't do anything unnecessary that could mislead others or yourselves!"

The resentful shadowy figure finished speaking with a warning tone and then disappeared into the dimly lit underground space.

Seeing this, the other three didn't linger any longer. After nodding to each other, they all disappeared into the dark passage.

On the other hand, after the demonic calamity was cleared away, Toyokawa once again entered into seclusion for cultivation.

He stays in his room almost every day and never comes out.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, Toyokawa practiced various techniques to control his aura.

He put on a cloak of invisibility and cast an invisibility talisman on himself.

They left the patrol office without making a sound.

Then, following the red line in his eyes, he arrived at a deserted place.

He flung out a flying sword, which soared straight into the sky.

We sped along the red line.

Finally, after an hour, they arrived above a secluded cave in a desolate mountain.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Toyokawa flew to a deserted mountain forest thirty miles away and landed there.

He then used his movement technique to head towards the secret cave.

Less than fifteen hours later, he returned to the vicinity of the secret cave.

He then cast a stealth talisman and an obliteration talisman on himself.

In a flash, he entered the secret cave.

We walked straight into the secret cave. We hadn't gone far when we encountered a protective array.

The divine consciousness communicates with the stars in the heavens, in addition to the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

At a glance, the formation was completely understood.

The formations here are child's play compared to Toyokawa's; it's like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu.

He stepped directly into the formation, but the formation didn't react at all. It was as if he had entered an empty place.

Continue along the cave passage deeper into the cave.

After walking for another ten miles or so, the interior suddenly became spacious.

Inside the cave, the space had been carved out into individual cages.

Upon closer inspection, there were over a hundred of them.

Each cage contains a different number of demonic beasts.

They come in various sizes and categories.

In the corner of each cage, there was a pile of bones.

Judging from their appearance, they were all human skeletons.

There are adults and children.

Some even faintly contain the remains of infants.

Seeing all this, Toyokawa could barely control his emotions.

His eyes were bloodshot and his gaze seemed to be bursting.

But in the end, he managed to suppress it all.

Continue carefully into the room, which is quite spacious.

There is a pool in the center of the room.

However, the pool was not filled with water, but with the foul-smelling blood of monsters.

Around the pool, there was also a ring of cold iron shackles.

Each pair of shackles was bound to a demonic beast.

Their wrists were cut open with sharp weapons, and the shackles were so special that they could not be closed.

Blood dripped down, drop by drop, flowing into the blood pool along the blood channel.

These beasts! They actually use ordinary people to feed monsters, and then use monsters to collect their blood.

What kind of evil magic is this?

Just how many civilians were killed?

Why go to such lengths for personal gain?

Is this even human? Even animals wouldn't do something like this.

I forcibly suppressed all my emotions and tried my best to maintain my composure.

The entire cave was guarded by many black-clad warriors.

Although Toyokawa was in stealth mode, he dared not linger.

After observing for a while, they returned the way they came.

But halfway there, a few burly young men came running towards them.

Toyokawa quickly slipped to a dark corner and held his breath.

"Sigh, it's been half a year already, when will this ever end?" a young man complained.

"Shh, do you want to die? If the master hears this, it doesn't matter if you die. But don't drag us down with you!" another young man muttered.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing the young man's mutterings, the young man who had started the conversation shuddered, as if he had imagined something incredibly terrifying.

"Sigh, we come here every day to collect demon blood, but we don't know what we're going to do with it!" another young man sighed.

"Yes, this demon blood is stinky and fishy. Every time I enter that cell, I feel disgusted," the young man, who had just looked scared, said again.

"Sigh, stop talking and get to work! You'll be punished again if you're late!" the young man who had spoken up earlier said.

Before long, they had all gone far away.

And Toyokawa finally got the clue he wanted.

Without anyone noticing, they extracted a wisp of energy from those young men and then quietly left the secret cave.

Up until this point, no one had noticed anything unusual.

Unbeknownst to them, someone had already entered the secret cave and was leisurely strolling around.

After leaving the secret cave, Toyokawa did not linger.

They went 30 miles away before finding a secluded cave and slipping inside.
