I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 84 - 64: Countless Useless Officials—How to Deal with Them? Only by Breaking the Old to Build Anew Through Force!

Chapter 84: Chapter 64: Countless Useless Officials—How to Deal with Them? Only by Breaking the Old to Build Anew Through Force!

The night was dim, and the rain poured relentlessly.

Ruan Xiuxiu alone rode her horse and arrived at the Black Mountain City Demon Hunting Department.

However,

Unlike the solemn and majestic atmosphere of Wutong Prefecture, the Black Mountain Demon Hunting Department before her was extremely dilapidated. Even the beams above were covered in dust, neglected.

In theory, within a major city, aside from the Guardian Mansion, the most magnificent place should be the Demon Hunting Department.

But what was the result?

As the Eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief, due to Song Chai Xin being the Guardian, Ruan Xiuxiu had managed connections and arrived with him.

But since she was in this position, naturally, she should be dedicated to her duties.

The system of the Black Mountain City Demon Hunting Department, those patrols, and the officials in the office, what were they doing?

Even when the facade had been in disrepair for years, no one bothered to fix it!

With a kick, she swung open the main door, making a ’clang’ sound, breaking the heavy iron door with sheer force.

Instantly, in the night rain, there was a thunderous ’boom’ reverberating!

"Whoever’s got nothing better to do, dares to make a fuss at the Demon Hunting Department!?"

A shouting voice came from inside.

Two government officials, wearing Demon Hunting Robes, rubbed their eyes and walked out, holding knives.

In such a major city,

The Demon Hunting Department should have a Vice Director, two Commanders-in-Chief, as Silver Seal Patrols with Great Innate Realm status, assisting the Demon Hunting Department Chief in maintaining order.

Other than that, there were thirteen task-executing Copper Seal Patrols, which were considered external officials, not within official ranks.

Members of the Demon Hunting Department, even if they only bear a Copper Seal Patrol Order, have Ninth-Grade Official status, theoretically standing on an equal footing with the Outer City Government Department Head, belonging to the same level.

Yet, for some unknown reason, in this grand Black Mountain Demon Hunting Department, not even a single Demon Hunter Patrol could be seen.

Looking at the two rankless officials guarding this place, 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Ruan Xiuxiu’s eyes already had a chill.

Not a single person with the capability of ’capturing demons’.

If some disaster occurred in the city, how could it be handled, who would deal with it?

"You blind dogs, look carefully at who this girl is!" Ruan Xiuxiu’s phoenix eyes contained anger, as she stomped through the iron door, causing a mix of dust and rainwater to swirl. Meanwhile, ’Yunluan’ hadn’t been unsheathed yet, but already made a resounding sound!

Yunluan Mountain had nourished the sword with True Sect Qi for a hundred years, already becoming a treasure land, capable of continuously producing ’Yunluan Sword Qi’ from the Sword Viewing Forest, supplying disciples for their cultivation.

Thus, with the Sword Master’s consent, the Sword Observation Elder even allowed his closed-door disciple to take this True Sect treasure sword, recognized as its master by her, down from the mountain!

This was why Song Chai Xin said that Ruan Xiuxiu’s methods could easily defeat him four or five times.

Though he came from a humble background, gifted though he was, facing such a Martial Dao major sect’s young lady with all sorts of treasures, besides drawing out her trump cards one by one, there was no chance of victory.

There really weren’t any other good options!

"Wet-behind-the-ears..."

The two Demon Hunting officials had just reached the threshold, seeing the door kicked wide open, revealing a petite and valiant girl, scaring them stiff.

The one in front couldn’t hold back his tongue and was about to scold.

But the other official noticed sharply, through the rain and night, the girl’s Eighth-grade Demon Hunting Uniform and the shining, swinging Demon Hunting Order, immediately felt a soul-scaring shock:

"The... the newly appointed Demon Hunting Department Chief?"

He was somewhat speechless, and before he could react, the girl had already drawn her sword, striding inside, squinting her eyes slightly, with her hair flying, and her tone slightly cold:

"In the City Demon Hunting Department, according to system regulations, a Vice Demon Hunting Department Chief, two Left and Right Commanders, must have one person taking turns to guard, in case of emergencies."

"Even if the Chief hasn’t officially taken office, nothing can be so neglected."

"Even..."

"Not a single Ninth-Grade Demon Hunter Patrol is seen!"

"I ask you two, where are they?"

The two junior clerks in the Demon Hunting Department, responded with an ’ah’, completely awake:

"Thi...this..."

Ruan Xiuxiu sneered, her tone indifferent:

"Honestly, make clear everything you know, you two are small officials with small matters, this Chief can still let bygones be bygones."

"If there’s even a slight trace of deceit..."

"Once I examine the files from the last decade, no, twenty years, and figure out the details of Black Mountain City, none will escape, and all will be thrown into the Demon Hunting cell!"

"Now, take this Chief to the place where the Demon Hunting Department records files, then explain everything clearly along the way."

"Do you understand."

Ruan Xiuxiu stepped forward, grabbing each of them by the collar, as if capturing chickens, lifting them up.

Making the two junior clerks shiver with fear, completely unable to hide anything:

"Res...respected officer, we will take you there immediately."

"Since a few years ago, when the previous Demon Hunting Department Chief resigned, there’s been no Vice Chief, it’s always been the Left and Right Commanders with just nominal roles in the Demon Hunting Department."

"These two, one is friendly with noble clans and martial arts halls, living outside, the other... considers demons as brothers, hasn’t cared about the Demon Hunting Department for a long time."

"Most of the original dozen patrols either complied with the two or were ousted, or killed. Now in Black Mountain City, is there still a Demon Hunting Department?"

"It’s long been in name only!"

The two had spent over ten years in Black Mountain City, and as officials of the Demon Hunting Department, they were aware that there were too many clues in those files.

Unless this young Demon Hunting Chief was an idiot, she would surely notice something.

Seeing her fierce anger, it was clear she wasn’t aligned with those in the city.
