Strangling Operation

Just as the two officials from the Demon Suppression Bureau were filled with confusion, the nine lines of clouds on the distant horizon were approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Although the aura of the Nascent Soul True Lord level was deliberately concealed, leaving only a trace of its aftertaste, it still made the two of them turn pale, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests.

The children in the square were already exhausted and worn out. When they were hit by this aura, their eyelids rolled back and they all fainted.

The two middle-aged men and women from the Demon Suppression Bureau looked horrified and led the way in looking up at the sky.

Soon, through the fading blood mist, they finally saw the appearance of the newcomers.

Nine pure white Cloud Flood Dragons were pulling an ancient bronze chariot as they drove from the horizon.

The ancient chariot had a heavy and simple design, with a nine-tiered canopy on its roof. Each tier was filled with a different colored light, which shone brightly in the sunlight, making it so magnificent that people dared not look directly at it.

The Cloud Flood Dragons moved nimbly, their cloud trails drawing nine graceful arcs across the sky.

"A dragon pulling a cart?! The dragon clan has always been arrogant, when did they ever agree to pull a cart for someone else?!" The middle-aged female cultivator exclaimed in disbelief.

The male cultivator's eyes widened in shock as he murmured, "Who is inside this ancient carriage? Could it be a high-ranking figure from the Holy Sect?"

Their ancestor, the Great Lin Dynasty, was from the Supreme Mysterious Holy Sect, so the Great Lin Dynasty naturally relied on the Holy Sect.

Even princes and princesses in the royal family who possessed Spirit Roots of medium grade or higher would be sent to the Supreme Mysterious Holy Sect for cultivation.

In their view, the Supreme Mysterious Holy Sect was the ruler of Dao Province and also the ruler of the Eastern Domain.

Only a great figure from the Holy Sect could probably manage to get an incredibly proud dragon to pull a chariot.

However, the two quickly realized that even the most important figures in the Holy Sect would likely find it difficult to achieve this.

After all, these are nine Nascent Soul True Lord level dragons!

Even in the Holy Sect, Nascent Soul True Lord is a high-ranking figure. It's impossible for them to be so extravagant as to have Nascent Soul True Lord -level dragon pull a cart!

While the two officials from the Demon Suppression Bureau were pondering, the bronze chariot stopped in mid-air, the door opened, and Lu Yang stepped out with Liu Yaoyao.

Since Jiang Shiqing and Qin Nanyue were still cultivating, Lu Yang did not disturb them.

Beside the two were Wang Da and his group.

Lu Yang looked down at the town shrouded in blood mist below. Within the formation, the blood mist surged like a living thing, and the corpses on the ground lay scattered about, so withered that their faces were unrecognizable.

A heavy stench of blood filled the air, mingling with the fishy smell of aquatic plants carried by the lake, making one almost nauseous.

Lu Yang frowned slightly and said softly, "Wang Da, destroy the formation."

Wang Da remained calm and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, young master."

The next moment, golden flames burned in his eyes, and flashes of fire appeared simultaneously in several directions from the town.

Immediately afterwards, the entire formation collapsed, and the blood mist, freed from the formation's restraint, quickly faded and dissipated under the gentle breeze, revealing the long-lost azure sky.

The sunlight shone down again, illuminating the cobblestone streets of the town, but only reflected a bleak scene.

Lu Yang's gaze swept over the devastation in the town, his eyes narrowing slightly, a mixture of anger and lament in them.

He knew beforehand that once the Blood Devil Hall's higher-ups were killed, a similar situation would definitely occur.

There must be many desperate criminals Blood Devil Hall.

Once the restraint is removed, they will inevitably do things that are outrageous to both gods and men.

Lu Yang understood that this was something he couldn't stop either.

After all, the Blood Devil Hall has hundreds of Blood Devil Envoys, and countless Evil Cultivators at the lower levels, scattered throughout the various states of the Eastern Domain.

To kill them all at once would require too much manpower and resources, and given the size of the Blood Devil Hall, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the higher-ups. Therefore, the only option is to prioritize killing the higher-ups.

Although the choice was made to minimize the damage to the Eastern Domain, Lu Yang still felt somewhat heavy-hearted upon seeing the scene before him.

Even though I've been in this world for Shijiu years, I've witnessed many evil deeds committed by Evil Cultivators and Bandit Cultivators. I've even heard of Evil Cultivators slaughtering mortals, often destroying entire towns or cities.

However, seeing with your own eyes and hearing about it are completely different experiences.

His core values were formed from his upbringing in his previous life, and seeing this scene, he instinctively felt anger welling up inside him.

Liu Yaoyao, being inner disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's External Affairs Hall, had seen far more than Lu Yang. Therefore, upon seeing this scene, she merely frowned slightly without reacting much.

Seeing Lu Yang's pale face, Liu Yaoyao's heart softened. She gently patted Lu Yang's back and said softly, "Young Master is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see such a tragic scene. Now that the Evil Cultivator has been dealt with, shall we take our leave?"

Lu Yang snapped out of his daze and glanced at the wary middle-aged men and women in the square, as well as the several children lying on the ground.

He paused for a moment, then said softly, "Let's go take a look."

Seeing Lu Yang's response, Liu Yaoyao nodded silently, her voice soft. "Yes, young master."

The group disembarked from the ancient carriage, their robes fluttering in the wind, and slowly descended towards the town square.

The two middle-aged men and women from the Demon Suppression Bureau on the square immediately put away their Law Treasure after the formation was destroyed.

The two felt a sudden emptiness within their bodies. Having overdrawn their spiritual Spiritual Qi and activated their magical Law Treasure for so long, they were nearing their limits and staggered before barely managing to regain their balance.

Upon seeing Lu Yang and his companions descend from the sky, the two were startled. However, when they saw Lu Yang's appearance, both the middle-aged man and the woman showed a look of disbelief.

This young man is so handsome.

His moon-white brocade robe accentuated his tall and slender figure, his handsome face, and his composed and elegant demeanor.

The sunlight fell on him, as if gilding him with a faint golden edge, making him seem as if he had stepped out of a painting.

The female cultivator blushed slightly, her gaze wandering, revealing a girlish demeanor that was unusual for a middle-aged woman.

Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao's lips twitched slightly.

My young master is just too charming!

Just by standing here, he could make the female cultivator's heart flutter!

And...

Liu Yaoyao secretly glanced at Lu Yang's profile and felt that the young master seemed to be getting more and more handsome.

I don't know what happened.

Liu Yaoyao felt incredibly lucky to have become the young master's maid!

Moreover, the young master treats me exceptionally well!

While the two were still in a daze, Liu Yaoyao asked softly, "Who are you two?"

The middle-aged man and woman immediately came to their senses.

The female cultivator, in particular, was extremely embarrassed and quickly looked away, but her heart was still pounding.

The male cultivators were a bit better off; they felt that this young master was like the chosen one, and facing him was like facing the emperor of a dynasty!

His heart was filled with turmoil, and he immediately said, "I am Wang Li from the Demon Suppression Bureau, and this is Lin Lin. Greetings, young master and all the seniors! Thank you for your help, young master and all the seniors. Otherwise, we would probably have become food for those three Evil Cultivators."

The female cultivator quickly followed suit and bowed respectfully.

Lu Yang glanced at the two of them and calmly said, "No need for formalities. How much activity do Evil Cultivators cause in your area?"

Wang Li quickly replied, "It's not a big deal. We rarely see Evil Cultivators causing trouble. Such a blatant massacre of the town is truly rare. We've both served in the Demon Suppression Bureau for many years, and this is the first time we've encountered something like this."

Lin Lin, who was standing nearby, also recovered and said with a serious expression, "It's not that our Great Lin Dynasty is without Evil Cultivators; it's just that almost none of them can escape the capture of our Demon Suppression Bureau Evil Cultivator, not even those at the Golden Core Realm! Logically speaking, if these three Evil Cultivators were cultivators within our Great Lin Dynasty, they should know the dangers involved, yet they didn't hesitate and committed such a heinous crime. It's truly baffling."

Hearing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

When he entered the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot and traveled from Yellow Province to Dao Province, he had already informed Su Jinxuan of the information and location of the Golden Core Realm Blood Devil Envoy. Su Jinxuan then relayed this information to the sect cultivators of various states through the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, in order to launch an attack on the Blood Devil Envoy.

The Blood Devil Envoy of the Blood Devil Hall is acting so recklessly now; perhaps he's been driven to the brink by the purge and has decided to give up entirely?

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a group of Blood Devil Envoy practice Evil Method and are inherently ruthless.
