They flipped the table.

The Sanctuary was in chaos.

The Seventh Division Head's expression was even somewhat twisted.

Because his people had suddenly slaughtered Wanle City.

He didn't believe his people were fools who would do something so defiant against him.

Moreover, he felt that his people were actually quite clever.

It was impossible for them not to know what Wanle City meant to him.

Since they knew, and yet they acted this way, it must mean that things had been exposed.

Another Director was about to make a move.

Subsequently, the Seventh Division Head sent someone to investigate the matter.

Upon investigation, the Seventh Division Head's face turned somber.

He even looked at the intelligence in his hand with a dark gaze.

The Ninth Division Head had made an exception to allow a Haining Prefecture Disciple to participate in the Demon Hunting Island assessment.

This was intended as cultivation, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, the Fifth Division Head learned of this and went to investigate Zhou Ziming.

And Zhou Ziming's profile was truly eye-opening.

From killing Shadow Demons to the people of the Heavenly Demon Palace targeting Zhou Ziming only to mysteriously vanish.

They said they vanished, but these Directors all knew the truth.

Those Heavenly Demons were likely all dead.

As he read further into the profile, even the Seventh Division Head found it preposterous.

Anyone who had a grudge against Zhou Ziming was dead.

Those who tried to assassinate Zhou Ziming were directly wiped out by him.

Those who pulled strings behind the scenes also died mysteriously.

As for whether Zhou Ziming did it, everyone actually knew the answer.

There was just no evidence.

The Seventh Division Head chuckled.

"The Fifth Division Head saw how decisive Zhou Ziming is in killing and wanted to scheme against him, using him as a tool. If Zhou Ziming slaughtered Wanle City, he would offend me, and my focus would then be on Zhou Ziming! This matter would then have nothing to do with you, Fifth Division Head."

"And you, Fifth Division Head, would step in to protect him, keeping such a sharp blade in your own hands to cultivate. You could even gain a good reputation in the Sanctuary! Perhaps even Zhou Ziming's friendship?"

"If things really developed this way, with Zhou Ziming's 'kill anyone who offends me' personality, combined with your cultivation, Fifth, I wouldn't have any good days ahead."

Of course, he felt it wasn't just that.

If his guess was correct.

If things really went in that direction, the Fifth Division Head would surely take the initiative to lead the investigation into the Wanle City incident.

And unsurprisingly, everything he had done in Wanle City would be exposed.

The Fifth Division Head would then take control of Wanle City.

The wealth of Wanle City, and eventually the city itself, would all belong to the Fifth Division Head.

However, at this moment, the Seventh Division Head smiled.

"You certainly thought it through well, even planning for every contingency. You probably laid this trap long ago and were just waiting for someone to execute it, and now Zhou Ziming just happened to come along!"

"But you didn't expect that Zhou Ziming isn't a reckless brute; he actually has some brains."

"Now this matter has nothing to do with you. Wanle City was also slaughtered by my own people. Zhou Ziming has extricated himself completely. What will you do now?"

The Seventh Division Head suddenly thought of a saying.

Lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own feet.

Raising a hand only to slap one's own face.

To the Seventh Division Head.

If Wanle City was gone, it was gone.

In any case, his people were still in Wanle City.

Now, he really wanted to see the Fifth Division Head's face.

Thinking this, the Seventh Division Head went to the Fifth Division Head's residence.

He didn't go in, but merely passed by the entrance and glanced from afar.

Sure enough, the Fifth Division Head's expression was not very good right now.

No, it should be said that it was very ugly.

Seeing this, the Seventh Division Head felt very satisfied.

At the same time, he felt that Zhou Ziming had done a splendid job.

The Fifth Division Head was extremely furious.

Especially when he saw the Seventh Division Head right at his doorstep, his mood grew even worse.

"Are you very proud of yourself?"

The Fifth Division Head walked out and looked at the Seventh Division Head, questioning him.

The Seventh Division Head nodded.

"Naturally, I am very proud!"

The Fifth Division Head smiled then.

"You're celebrating too early!"

"How much do you actually know about Zhou Ziming?"

The Seventh Division Head narrowed his eyes.

Still trying to sow discord?

You know what kind of person Zhou Ziming is? Do you think I don't?

The Seventh Division Head chuckled.

"Does that have anything to do with me?"

The Fifth Division Head smiled slightly.

"Do you know that the Little Spirit King's mother once used some means to have physical intimacy with Zhou Ziming?"

"And as for how the Little Spirit King's mother is, I'm sure you've wanted to have a taste of her yourself!"

"But, just because she had eaten people, Zhou Ziming didn't hesitate when he killed her!"

"Guess what your people have done in Wanle City? Do you think they can still survive?"

The Seventh Division Head fell silent instantly.

The Fifth Division Head snorted coldly.

"I may not have completed my plan, but you have also suffered a crushing defeat. The only one who has won now is the Ninth Division Head!"

Just then, the Ninth Division Head's mature, authoritative voice drifted over.

"Don't make it sound like I'm full of schemes as well. I simply saw Zhou Ziming as a promising talent and made an exception for his assessment. My original intention was that if Zhou Ziming passed the assessment, I would take him as a Disciple. Unlike you two—one is filthy, and the other wants to use Zhou Ziming to seize that filth!"

"It's just that Zhou Ziming refuses to play along with you. He flipped your chessboard directly and even made you expose your own sordid affairs!"

"Failing to harm others and instead having your masks torn off, you two look like you've put on clown makeup. It's truly ridiculous!"

The Ninth Division Head's words made both of their faces flush red.

But when the Seventh Division Head saw the Ninth Division Head, his emotions calmed down.

The Ninth Division Head's appearance was a direct statement that Zhou Ziming was her person.

No matter which of you wants to move against Zhou Ziming, I will protect him.

At the same time, it was to tell the Fifth Division Head: you still want to use my person as a tool?

You'd better think twice.

As for scolding the Fifth Division Head along with him.

That was purely a warning; this lady isn't one to shy away from trouble.

Finally, both of them snorted coldly and returned to their respective residences.

The Ninth Division Head also snorted and turned to leave.

However, the Fifth Division Head's expression was extremely dark.

"Well played, Zhou Ziming. Since you won't be obedient, then don't blame me for destroying you!"

After saying that, the Fifth Division Head shot a meaningful glance toward a certain spot.

————

However, unlike the Fifth Division Head.

The Seventh Division Head was now feeling somewhat uneasy, unable to eat or sleep well.

"This Zhou Ziming, is he ultimately righteous or evil?"

Whenever he thought about Zhou Ziming killing Mu Ling, his heart would pound.

It would be fine if Zhou Ziming had no backing.

But now his backer was the Ninth Division Head.

Killing Zhou Ziming under the Ninth Division Head's nose was absolutely impossible, but if Zhou Ziming really grew up, would he even be able to survive?

The Seventh Division Head tossed and turned.

Finally, he still went to see the Ninth Division Head.

The two of them talked for a long time.

Although the content was unknown.

However, after the Seventh Division Head came out, he led his people to the Border to clear out the Demon Race.

This left The one at the top of the Sanctuary somewhat dazed.

To put it in mortal terms, a treacherous official suddenly wanted to clear out enemies for the country and even signed a military pledge.

That person in the Sanctuary was very confused.

"What kind of provocation did he receive?"
