"Driving wolves and swallowing tigers" was one of the strategies Xia Zhou adopted to deal with the Augustus Family.
As some of the most loyal people in the Holy Place, the Demon Hunting Sect could be described as extremely hostile to evil. Even the high-ranking Holy Pattern Department did not want to provoke the Demon Hunting Sect.
In the entire Holy Place, only the Judiciary Bureau and the Holy Place Army, which both have relatively independent authority and operating modes, could avoid dealing with the Demon Hunting Sect. All other departments, including the Holy Pattern Department, must cooperate unconditionally with the investigation of the Demon Hunting Sect, or be reported to the Judiciary Bureau.
The Augustus family had to do something to clear their suspicions and appease the Demon Hunting Sect, lest they truly invite disaster.
