Capture?

Data streams intertwine deep within, between the virtual and the real.

The sky is covered in layers of dark clouds, and beams of light rise from the ground, hitting the underside of the clouds and reflecting dazzling light and shadows.

On the earth, cities stand tall, neon lights flashing in a riot of color.

Countless figures wander through the cities, lost in a drunken stupor.

Their twisted faces are filled with infatuation and madness.

The air is filled with a nauseating fragrance, and lascivious music intertwines with painful wails in every corner.

High above the continent, Tu Qianliu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly watching a projection screen.

The scene displayed on it was the moment when Li Qingshan was "flaunting his authority" on the bridge.

"As expected of Director Li!"

Tu Qianliu sighed with a smile, his gaze shifting from the screen to survey the land below.

Like a king high above, he inspected his entire God Realm.

No, before the formal sacrifice, he was the king of this God Realm, the king of this world!

Only true spirits could enter the God Realm!

Here, even a dragon had to lie prone, and a tiger had to crouch!

Moreover, what was a mere wolf!

Tu Qianliu licked his lips, looked up at the sky, and a playful smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"What are you looking forward to?"

Rumble!

Thunder roared, scattering layers of dark clouds.

A terrifying face covered in starlight, as if composed of stars, reached out from beyond the heavens and peered down.

"Me?"

"Li... Director Li?!"

Tu Qianliu's smile froze on his face, his eyes widening in disbelief as he said:

"Is this your Dharma Form?"

"No, just a true spirit."

The starry giant spoke calmly, his indifferent gaze falling on Tu Qianliu.

"Didn't you want to see it?"

"Now, you have."

As the words fell, Rumble!

Large swathes of dark clouds were pierced through, starlight illuminating the entire continent, and a terrifying palm pressed down from beyond the heavens.

"Director Li, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Tu Qianliu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly:

"Inviting you to the God Realm was just to discuss business..."

"You took the Void God Sect's things, how can you go back on your word..."

"Please, let me go..."

Excuses, accusations, pleas...

None of it worked!

Tu Qianliu could only stare wide-eyed, watching the terrifying giant palm fall.

In the God Realm, he was the king of the world.

But now...

A Celestial Devil from beyond the realm had descended!

In the security office, in the room.

Xing Yang was watching the light screen with great interest when he suddenly noticed his master frowning.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"This arrest should not be broadcast."

Su Yuan's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice:

"Involving a deputy director of the office is not glorious for our Demon Subjugation Division."

"In theory, they should have made a secret arrest, investigated thoroughly, and then released the specific details."

"Furthermore..."

Su Yuan's gaze fell on the live broadcast feed, and he shook his head.

"This isn't Xia Cunzhen's style either!"

Xing Yang looked puzzled and said, "Didn't the forum say that the division couldn't withstand the pressure, so they're doing a live broadcast of the arrest?"

"Pressure?"

Su Yuan waved his hand in denial, and said calmly, "The weak, what qualifications do they have to put pressure on the strong?"

Demon Subjugation Division, headquarters.

"Cough, cough!"

Gu Feng suddenly bent over, coughing heavily.

The gravity around him suddenly twisted, and the space cracked with layers of fine lines, shattering with a soft thud.

Suddenly, A fair hand reached out, ignoring all the strange phenomena, and gently patted the old man's back.

As the hand patted, The broken mirror was made whole again, the spatial cracks healed, and the distorted gravity returned to normal.

The heavy coughing gradually stopped.

Gu Feng turned to look at the owner of the hand.

Bright eyes, white teeth, youthful and beautiful...

It was the head of the Demon Subjugation Division.

Ming Shuang!

"Thank you, Head!"

"Elder Gu is too kind. You have been working tirelessly for our Demon Subjugation Division, acting as our 'eyes' for a full five epochs!"

Ming Shuang waved her hand lightly, a smile playing on her lips.

"If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me!"

As she spoke, her gaze turned to the screen, her eyes fixed on the broken asteroid belt.

"Elder Gu, are you really that confident in Li Qingshan?"

It was because of Gu Feng's repeated requests that she ordered Xia Cunzhen to start the live broadcast!

"The Demon Subjugation Division's 'eyes' cannot be clouded, and this old man isn't so senile yet."

Gu Feng smiled and stepped forward, cupping his fist and saying, "This old man has occupied the position of Director for a full five epochs. It's time to retire and give way to someone more capable."

Ming Shuang stared at the screen, and pondered, "If Li Qingshan can use this to 'clear his name,' I wouldn't object."

"But he's only just joined the Demon Subjugation Division. It will take at least several hundred years for him to complete the Transformation of Emptiness. The others, I'm afraid..."

"It's good that the Head agrees!"

Gu Feng's wrinkles squeezed together, revealing a smile.

"This old man will take care of the rest!"

"Hmm?!"

Ming Shuang frowned slightly, and earnestly reminded him, "Elder Gu, you have already wasted five epochs. You should understand that everything should prioritize your own Martial Dao!"

"Thank you, Head. This old man understands!"

Gu Feng cupped his fists, and took his leave...

Time passed, second by second.

Throughout the Horn Sector, all the members of the Demon Subjugation Division's six major offices stared blankly at the live broadcast feed.

The starry sky remained silent, and the asteroid belt remained unchanged.

Everyone had moved on from the initial excitement and tension, and their gazes gradually became strange.

"Weren't they supposed to be live-streaming the arrest? How come there's not a single person in sight?"

"I'm just saying, who streams meteorites? Does Director Xia even know what he's doing..."

"Shut up, maybe Director Xia is lying in wait, just waiting for Director Li to take the bait!"

"I don't think so. I remember Director Li's starship is exceptionally fast. There's no way Director Xia could have arrived first, right?"

"It's over. Director Li must have already completed the transaction with the Void God Sect. If we can't catch him in the act, it'll be hard to nail down the charges later..."

Doubts, worries, anxieties...

Similar conversations were happening constantly in offices everywhere.

Just as everyone was getting restless, Buzz!

The void trembled, and a slender crack suddenly appeared in the center of the asteroid belt.

"Here it comes! So, he was hiding in a hyperspace tunnel!"

Instantly, everyone became excited again, their eyes glued to the live feed, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Under the intense gaze of the masses, the crack widened bit by bit, and a silver-white warship slowly emerged from the hyperspace tunnel.

At the same time, figures finally appeared in the live broadcast.

Xia Cunzhen took the lead, leading hundreds of Action Department members towards the asteroid belt.

"Hahaha, glad we didn't miss it!"

"Director Xia is a notorious killing god. Director Li is in for a world of hurt this time!"

"Why are you still calling him 'Director'? Once Li Qingshan comes out with the Void God Sect, that'll be solid proof!"

All eyes followed the camera, fixed on the silver-white starship as it emerged.

At this point, Li Qingshan's guilt was practically set in stone...

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted from the screen.

Flames burst out, and the silver-white starship shattered inch by inch, debris scattering inside and outside the tunnel.

"What's going on?"

Everyone was stunned.

Not just them, Xia Cunzhen and his team in the video were also dumbfounded, frozen in the void.

Just then, Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three streaks of light suddenly shot out from the wreckage, bursting out of the hyperspace tunnel, their terrified roars echoing through the void.

"Li Qingshan, you are betraying our trust and are insatiably greedy!"

Poof!

A Star Shard hand reached out from the ruins, grabbed a streak of light, and crushed it into powder.

"Director Li, I even gave you three Star Shards..."

Poof!

Another streak of light turned into dust.

"Li Qingshan, how dare you..."

The last streak of light abruptly changed direction, heading straight for Xia Cunzhen and his team, while shouting loudly:

"Spare my life! I will testify that Li Qingshan is guilty of corruption and colluding with Evil God sects..."

Xia Cunzhen frowned and reached out his hand.

Poof!

The Star Shard hand arrived first, already grabbing the streak of light.

The starlight vanished abruptly.

The young man stood amidst the scattered wreckage, his right hand clenched into a fist, gently rubbing it.

Strands of powder fell from his palm, scattering into the void.

"Director Xia, I told you."

Li Qingshan looked at Xia Cunzhen, and also at the live broadcast camera, grinned, revealing his chilling white teeth.

"Sector Three, all is quiet!"
