Soon.
The route of this final chess game revealed a bit...
Someone, after being eroded and attacked by the power of the Dao Fruit, did not die. Instead, they controlled the power of the Dao Ghost, gaining the ability to summon wind and rain.
The once high and mighty figures were all illusory in the face of the Dao Fruit's power.
In an instant, it was another great sifting of talent, and the winds of change blew.
The Garrison Commander offered amnesty and incorporated them into the Internal Security Bureau under his command.
"The Dao Fruits of an entire epoch may soon appear in the mortal world..."
Just this piece of news made Chen Jiuyang tremble with fear.
Subsequently, news from abroad also arrived, reporting that Dao Ghosts were wreaking havoc globally. One Dao Ghost wreaked havoc in the Americas, killing tens of millions in three days, turning a major city into a ghost town...
Especially the demon race, who found it difficult to resist before the Dao Ghosts' anomalies.
The demon race's strength lay in their demon bodies, impervious to all methods... but Dao Ghosts were the origin of the Great Dao, truly something the demon race could not resist or contend with.
If not for the fact that the Dao Fruit's power was not infallible, the entire world would have already descended into an apocalypse...
The numerous pieces of news were dazzling...
However, at Chen Jiuyang's level, what he cared about was: "How do ordinary people control the power of Dao Ghosts... and what are the side effects..."
Soon, he obtained firsthand information using Gong Liexian's identity.
"Dao Fruits transform into ghosts, losing their wisdom, only acting according to rules to kill..."
"If someone discovers the rules of this Dao Ghost and suppresses it, they can control the power of the Dao Ghost..."
"Those who control the power of the Dao Ghost become International Police, specializing in dealing with anomalies. Their personalities will be influenced by the Dao Ghost, developing signs of bloodlust, lechery, gluttony, and so on..."
"Garrison Commanders only defend, not attack. Jixia Academy educates people, while the Internal Security Bureau's International Police attack."
Currently, the demon race is no longer the human race's main threat; Dao Ghosts are...
The mortal world is a chessboard...
Who knows how many humans will die.
Chen Jiuyang's heart turned cold.
Immediately, Chen Jiuyang nodded secretly. The Garrison Commander and Jixia Academy had made a very wise decision.
Currently, these International Police are like the enfeoffed marquises and kings of Chen Jiuyang's era. On the surface, they appear to have the highest status, identity, and strength, able to act with impunity and arrogance in society.
But above them, there are still the Garrison Commander and Jixia Academy holding them in check.
Gong Liexian worried: "These International Police, once they ascend, their personalities are almost all ferocious. The Garrison Commander's power can no longer expand. Brother Chen, you must be careful in Qingzhu City and try to avoid conflict with the International Police."
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "I will be mindful, rest assured."
Gong Liexian said, "Currently, the number of International Police is rapidly increasing. The Garrison Commander and the Masters intend to assign one or two International Police to each city to deal with anomalies."
It was only because Gong Liexian held a high position that he could know this information and inform Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, then ended the video call with Gong Liexian.
...
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A helicopter landed at the Qingzhu City Garrison Commander's building.
Qingzhu City Garrison Commander Nan Kong, along with a group of Garrison Commanders and Internal Security Bureau personnel, were there to welcome the two International Police officers assigned to Qingzhu City.
The helicopter descended.
Two people walked out. One had a pale face and wore a mourning dress, looking extremely ominous. The other had an arm as ferocious as a dragon's claw. Both exuded an extremely violent aura.
"Code-named 'Scapegoat' Police and 'Hand Slave' Police, welcome to Qingzhu City." Nan Kong said with a smile.
The middle-aged man in the mourning dress revealed a playful smile: "Don't bother with formalities. If anomalies occur, we'll handle it."
"But in normal times, we want women and the best treatment."
Nan Kong's brow furrowed, and he said sternly, "Two police officers, Qingzhu City is not like other places. I hope we never need your services in Qingzhu City, and I hope you will be well-behaved and peaceful here."
As his voice fell.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Dozens of wounds instantly appeared on Nan Kong's body. His injuries were severe, and blood flowed. The people behind him immediately drew their swords and prepared for action, creating a tense atmosphere.
But the Scapegoat and Hand Slave police were not afraid of them at all.
Hand Slave said with an unfriendly expression, "This is no longer your era to dominate. You'd better understand your own positions."
"If I wished, I could kill all of you in an instant, not just injure Garrison Commander Nan."
He then raised his hand and pointed, and Nan Kong's injuries instantly healed.
This scene was too shocking and eerie, creating a chilling atmosphere, waiting for Nan Kong's response.
Nan Kong's expression was grim, but he remained calm and said, "I still say the same thing, Qingzhu City is not like other places. If you provoke someone you shouldn't, no one can save you."
"Oh, you're talking about that Grand Sage Qanyang?"
"Heh heh, if it were before, we certainly wouldn't dare to provoke him."
"But now, the Immortal and Martial Dao are废 (abolished). The former Martial Dao Great Saints are nothing in our eyes now."
"If he appears, we will beat him like a stray dog for you to see."
Hand Slave sneered, clearly not taking Chen Jiuyang seriously.
Nan Kong's expression was very unpleasant: "You'd best be careful... the welfare and treatment of the two police officers will be fully provided. Do not cause trouble."
With that, he turned and left with his men.
These two International Police officers immediately gave him, the Garrison Commander, a show of force. How could the two sides coexist peacefully?
Mortals ascend to heaven in one step, obtaining the power of the Dao Fruit, how could they not be arrogant?
...
Qingzhu Street, Qingzhu City. Outside, the winds and clouds surged, and all anomalies and strangeness seemed to be blocked by that small courtyard, unable to penetrate.
Quietly, house prices in the old urban area of Qingzhu Spiritual Domain began to rise, and more and more people moved in.
After their family members temporarily lost their cultivation, they started to wake up early and sleep early, with three meals a day.
With the Pure Yang ruins and caves, Chen Jiuyang was not worried about his relatives, but he had not yet released this news...
"Knock knock knock!"
In the middle of the night, the courtyard gate was knocked.
Chen Jiuyang's cultivation had not been lost. He sat in the courtyard contemplating his next move. Hearing the knock, he gently beckoned with one hand, and the gate opened. It was a staff member from the Internal Security Bureau.
Chen Jiuyang's expression was slightly surprised: "What is it, visiting in the middle of the night."
"'Grand Sage Qanyang', there's an anomaly causing trouble in Qingzhu City..."
"The two International Police officers in Qingzhu City have already gone to handle it..."
"But Garrison Commander Nan is not entirely at ease and wishes for you to take a look."
Chen Jiuyang frowned: "Dao Ghost causing trouble?"
"Alright, lead the way."
When it involved the power of the Dao Fruit, it could not be resolved by ordinary martial force. It required observation and then finding a way to control and resolve it.
"'Grand Sage Qanyang', please follow me."
Running quickly under the night sky.
Soon, he led Chen Jiuyang into a street.
It was as if entering another world.
Gloomy, cold, terrifying darkness, and howling ghost winds assailed him.
It was as if he had returned to the Nine Nether Myriad Grave.
