Sweeping

Gu Jinlai returned to the main mansion of the general district with 155 portions of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold.

Although this place cannot compare with the Martial Saint Academy in terms of security, as a key institution in Wind and Rain City, it is guarded by a Martial King, a dozen Martial Grandmasters, and hundreds of martial artists.

This power is also the martial arts power directly belonging to this regional lord from Gu Jinlai.

Of course, at this time they did not have the complete trust of Gu Jinlai.

However, he has no one he can completely rely on, and given his peak Celestial Person Realm strength, he doesn't need to worry about being in danger as long as he doesn't face a Saint or Martial Saint.

After returning to his residence, he went directly to the cultivation room, activated the Eternal Furnace, and refined the Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold piece by piece.

Several days later, after he refined the 155 portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence, he could clearly feel the Chaos Starlight Body growing stronger.

Both his physical strength and the propulsion of the electric current have been enhanced to a certain extent, and the energy release in the eternal furnace has also increased again.

Moreover, he vaguely deduced a statistic: if he were given seven hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence now, he could cultivate the Chaotic Starlight Body to its peak in at most half a month.

If he were willing to throw in a hundred more beams of pure light during this period, forcibly elevating the Chaotic Star Body to the Great Completion stage in a manner similar to premature birth, the required Thunder Magnetic Essence would be reduced to six hundred, five hundred, or even four hundred.

"In the end, Qingguang can only make me refine and utilize the Thunder Magnetic Yuanjin more efficiently, but it cannot completely replace the Thunder Magnetic Yuanjin."

Gu Jinlai sensed his cultivation progress. "Of course, I can also continuously inject pure light into the Chaotic Star Body, just like the theory of boiling water in energy. The advancement of technology can improve the efficiency of boiling water. Give me hundreds or thousands of pure light, and I can still cultivate the Chaotic Star Body to perfection without the need for Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold. That is actually equivalent to optimizing the Chaotic Star Body into a new Cultivation Method."

Using the "clear light" method is too inefficient.

On the one hand, obtaining hundreds of beams of clear light is not an easy task.

On the other hand, he had already asked the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce and the Zilei Chamber of Commerce to help him acquire Leici Yuanjin, so there was no need to squander so much Qingguang just to save a few months.

The next day, Gu Jinlai arrived at the headquarters early.

There are already quite a few people waiting here.

After becoming the regional head, he was able to mobilize a lot more power.

Besides King Qiao Muqi, who protected his safety, there were dozens or even hundreds of martial masters and generals, and even three Primordial Spirit True Lord.

There are still hundreds of martial artists and ordinary cultivators remaining.

Gu Jinlai gaze swept over everyone, and he gave a direct order, "Go to Deyue Tower."

"Yes!"

Having received the instructions from Gu Jinlai, the crowd surged out and headed straight for Deyue Tower.

Deyuelou was a notorious den of iniquity in the outer city.

You can enjoy almost any service available there.

In addition, Deyuelou also engaged in various other businesses, including gambling, lending, and selling illegal drugs and goods.

And the background behind this force is also extremely impressive.

The alliance is supported by two Celestial Person and five Martial Kings, representing the combined support of Three Great Families. They have also recruited some less influential Lineage from top-tier clans to join them and reap the benefits.

Even though Zhang's Tianyinlou is inferior to Deyuelou.

The moment Gu Jinlai set off, the spies from Deyuelou, who were lurking in the main mansion of the regional headquarters, had already received the news.

Various prohibited materials were hidden away.

But...

Gu Jinlai, they have never played by the rules.

He directly led Qiao Muqi and the three Primordial Spirit True Lord away from the main force and was the first to arrive at Deyue Tower.

Seeing the somewhat chaotic Deyuelou, he immediately gave the order, "Everyone stay where you are and accept interrogation by law enforcement officers. Anyone who makes any rash moves will be severely punished."

There is always a Martial King or Celestial Person Being in charge of Deyue Tower.

Although they had heard about Gu Jinlai's style of doing things before and had toned it down a lot during this time, the King of Wu, who was in charge, still looked somewhat flustered when he saw Gu Jinlai arrive at Deyue Tower.

He tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor, forcing a smile as he stepped forward and said, "Chief District Manager Gu, you've come a long way and must be tired. Please come inside and rest for a while... We at Deyuelou are law-abiding citizens and would never..."

"I told you, everyone must stay where they are and not move rashly, or you will be severely punished. It seems you've ignored my words."

Gu Jinlai finishing his words, he made a grasping motion with his hand, and lightning flashed, condensing into a top-grade Spirit Artifact- level flying sword.

This scene immediately caused the Martial King in charge to change his expression drastically. "Chief District Commander Gu, it's a misunderstanding. I absolutely did not mean to disobey your words... This is bad!"

Before he could finish speaking, the thunderous sword from Gu Jinlai had already struck down.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, this first-level Martial King didn't even have time to dodge and was directly killed by the Thunder Sword of Gu Jinlai.

This thunderous and overwhelming action instantly stunned everyone present.

Even Qiao Muqi and the three Primordial Spirit True Lord looked at him with astonishment.

They had long heard that their new boss, who had been promoted from deputy district head of the southeast outer city, was decisive and efficient, but they never expected that his methods would be this ruthless.

Besides the two Celestial Person and the five great martial kings, the background of Deyue Tower...

Besides the four Martial Kings, there are also descendants of some top Lineage.

Gu Jinlai, it has been possible to disregard the two Celestial Person and the five Martial Kings, but this approach undoubtedly disregards the descendants of those top Lineage. Although their abilities are limited, they can stir up trouble behind the backs of the Martial Saints, and once they accumulate enough influence...

No one knows what hidden dangers might erupt.

"Regional Commander..."

Qiao Muqi hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something.

But Gu Jinlai directly ordered, "You four, seal off the entrances and exits. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed on sight. If we can't deal with them in a short time, I will personally take action."

Seeing the resolute expression on Gu Jinlai, Qiao Muqi and the three Primordial Spirit True Lord exchanged glances and had no choice but to obey the order.

"Call out!"

Before long, two figures arrived at the horizon at the same time.

These two individuals are Wu Chaoyuan, an ordinary Celestial Person, and Yue Manxian, a high-level Celestial Person Being who has cultivated the power of the domain to its extreme.

The two of them were the Celestial Person behind Deyuelou.

Upon hearing that Gu Jinlai was planning to target Deyuelou, he rushed over immediately.

Relying on his advantage of flying through the air, he arrived before the other four Kings of Celestial Person Arts.

However, when they saw the corpse of the Martial King who was guarding Deyue Tower, they seemed to realize that this matter could not be resolved by simply exchanging pleasantries or sharing some of the profits with Gu Jinlai.

This newly appointed regional chief clearly intends to uproot their Deyuelou restaurant as a testament to his outstanding achievements during his term.

"Walk!"

Having figured this out, Wu Chaoyuan and Yue Manxian exchanged a glance and turned to leave.

Where are you going?

At that moment, voices from Gu Jinlai came.

He, too, seemed to be a Celestial Person being, soaring through the air as he looked at the two Celestial Person who had rushed over. "Wu Chaoyuan and Yue Manxian, you two are involved in more than a dozen murder, extortion, and detention cases. Come back with me for interrogation. If you dare to resist, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Lord Gu, we are Celestial Person, unlike King Wu. You have no right to judge us."

"Gu Jinlai, I think you've fallen into a trance, which is why you keep confiscating property to make a fortune. It wasn't enough that you've ruined the southeast outer city, now you're ruining the north outer city too? I'm going to report you to the city lord!"

As they spoke, the two figures rapidly retreated.

"Warnings ignored, the suspect remained obstinate and attempted to escape. Due to his formidable strength, this regional commander had no choice but to kill him on the spot!"

Gu Jinlai the words "killed" could be finished, the thunderous power surging from the Chaotic Star Body transformed into sword light once more, cleaving through the void and shooting towards the full moon with a deafening roar.

Although this high-level heavenly man was well prepared and immediately used his spiritual weapon to protect himself. The power of the surrounding heaven and earth surged at an incredible speed, and strong winds swept through him. However, he was still chopped into pieces by the light of the thunder sword, and the violent power of thunder pierced him with the sword.

"Gu Jinlai! You dare!?"

Another Celestial Person, Wu Chaoyuan, was both shocked and furious, and his flying sword pierced through the air.

Relying on the Celestial Person's precise control over the power of heaven and earth, this sword strike almost eliminated all air resistance, and its speed soared to an astonishing eight times the speed of sound.

Before the sonic boom could spread, the sword light pierced through the void and shot towards Gu Jinlai!

However, as the flying sword drew closer and closer to the Gu Jinlai, its speed gradually decreased.

When they were only ten meters away from Gu Jinlai, they were completely frozen in front of him, unable to move an inch.

"This is..."

Wu Chaoyuan's pupils contracted.

Magnetic Divine Light!?

Isn't the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Divine Ability of Celestial Person, something that could never be mastered in Gu Jinlai?

So...

It's Divine Ability that arose after he perfected his Cultivation Method!?

"A quasi-Dao artifact-grade flying sword, not bad. The Celestial Person is willing to spend money on flying swords."

Gu Jinlai, people have reached out and easily taken this flying sword in their hands.

Seeing this, Wu Chaoyuan decisively abandoned the quasi-Dao artifact-grade flying sword. He didn't even care about Yue Manxian's life or death, and his figure soared, rushing towards the end of the sky at the fastest speed.

"Sizzle!"

At that moment, thunder roared once more.

But then Gu Jinlai took out another top-grade spirit sword and infused it with lightning.

After the battle at Lei Yuan Sect, besides keeping a quasi-Dao artifact flying sword for replacement, he also kept three spirit swords as spares, specifically for the convenience of releasing the Thunder Sword. Right now...

This came in handy.

Feeling the thunderous power behind him, Wu Primordial Spirit sense trembled, filled with terror. "Gu Jinlai! You can't kill me! I'm a special advisor to the city guards! Killing me is a provocation against the city guards..."

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed through the sky.

Before Wu Chaoyuan could finish speaking, the light of the Thunder Sword shattered the void and struck his body with a terrifying thunderous roar.

"No!"

Amidst a cry of unwilling defiance, the Celestial Person's body was instantly scorched by the power of lightning, and then shattered by the force contained within the sword's edge.

This ruthless method sent a chill down the spines of Qiao Muqi and the others, who were already terrified.

The gaze directed at him was filled with awe.

Ignoring the emotional changes of the group, Gu Jinlai made a clenching motion, and the two spirit swords and all the items belonging to the two Celestial Person of Deyuelou fell into his hands.

"The suspect resisted arrest and has been executed."
