Cultists

"A new Divine Ability, and moreover, once the Chaotic Star Body is fully mastered, this Divine Ability will completely transform into a domain-type great Divine Ability..."

After thoroughly understanding the mysteries of this Divine Ability Gu Jinlai, I finally felt more confident at this moment.

If the Chaotic Astral Body and the Eternal Furnace are likened to internal energy cultivation techniques, then this new Divine Ability is Swordsmanship and fist techniques that utilize internal energy.

Although it doesn't belong to the offensive category of powerful Divine Abilities, but rather to the support category of domain-based Divine Abilities, but...

As a great Divine Ability, its might is still enough to boost the combat strength of Gu Jinlai by several levels.

This kind of growth is no less impressive than when Celestial Person obtain divine weapons.

"This great Divine Ability is mainly focused on the use of the power of the Chaotic Astral Body. The Eternal Furnace is an accessory due to the resonance between the Chaotic Astral Body and the Eternal Furnace. It is mainly auxiliary, but for me now, this accessory effect can allow my combat power to be released like never before."

Gu Jinlai sensing it once more, he couldn't help but smile.

Although he possesses three golden-level Cultivation Method, but...

Only the Eternal Furnace is in a state of perfection.

The golden Cultivation Method at the perfect level should theoretically be comparable to a mortal immortal, but he himself was too weak and had to go through countless hardships to barely be able to control the power of the Eternal Furnace.

To truly unleash the power of this golden Cultivation Method, comparable to that of a mortal immortal, he not only needs to perfectly master the Cultivation Method, but also needs a matching and highly efficient method of utilization.

It's like bringing a highly automated tank to ancient times.

Gu Jinlai, the only means of operation was to start it up and rely on the tank's own performance to ram and crush the enemy.

In such a situation, one careless move could result in the enemy being unharmed while he himself falls into the ditch, or worse, tumbles down a cliff and dies.

As for now...

He not only knows how to drive it, but he can also drive it around everywhere. Although he doesn't know how to fire the cannon yet, he can still destroy a cavalry unit by charging around and crashing into it.

When the Chaotic Astral Body reaches perfection, it will mean that he has learned how to activate the cannon.

The final form is to fully master all the performance characteristics of this highly automated tank. It can detect targets from tens of miles away, load ammunition automatically, aim automatically, and even drift when chasing enemies.

"This new Divine Ability, which is designed for the use of chaotic astral energy and is composed of four Divine Ability: Thunder Sword, Primal Magnetic Divine Light, Starlight Kingdom, and Thunder World... let's call it Thunder Light Domain."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

With a thought, the unnamed sphere of light changed.

Lightning Realm: Minor Success.

Thanks to the foundation left by the four perfected Divine Ability, this Divine Ability has not only achieved minor success, but is also likely not far from achieving major success.

It is estimated that if another ten or eight more streams of clear light are added, it will be fully completed, and its overall power will be enhanced again.

"Whether the domain's power increases or not is irrelevant. I would rather it increase its attack range... After all, compared to attacks like the Thunder Sword, which uses the Chaotic Astral Body as 'internal force,' the Eternal Furnace is still more powerful. The energy gathered from the Eternal Furnace can be used to release ordinary attacks that are far more powerful than the Thunder Sword, which is a superior Divine Ability power."

With this thought in mind, Gu Jinlai once again experienced the various wonders of the lightning field before leaving the cultivation room.

He planned to accumulate some more Qingguang before heading to Haifeng City.

Firstly, the amount of light required to upgrade the Lightning Domain to its peak is not much. Secondly, once we arrive in Haifeng City, we can sell the Quasi-Dao Artifact Eight Cloud Crystal and purchase one or two hundred portions of Lightning Magnetic Yuan Gold, which will give us the foundation for the Chaos Starlight Body to reach its peak.

At that time, only one or two beams of clear light were needed to complete the transformation from minor to major mastery.

Therefore, it is necessary to accumulate a dozen or so clear beams of light for future use.

West Outer District.

Looking at the group of Ouyang family members kneeling tremblingly before him, Gu Jinlai frowned.

At this moment, Tang Zhengxiao and several others walked out of the courtyard and said in a deep voice, "Sir, all the core members of the Ouyang family have escaped. What remains are just the elderly, weak, women, and children. As for the confiscated goods... not counting real estate, there are only 20 million..."

"They escaped very quickly."

Gu Jinlai.

Humans are not animals.

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is natural; if something is amiss, one will run away.

The powerful forces in the outer city had long heard of his Gu Jinlai ways of doing things, and many of Lineage were hoping for the best when he first made his move.

In addition, he felt that his family was large and powerful with an impressive background, so he did not believe that Gu Jinlai would really target him.

Result...

All Lineage and factions that harbored this mentality paid the price for their naivety and wishful thinking.

Gu Jinlai, people have been quick and efficient when they start fighting.

On the very first day, he swiftly uprooted four major clans and personally tried more than sixty people as easily as cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

This startled all the Lineage.

Some key personnel filed complaints, while others kept quiet.

But it didn't work.

I complained, but there was no response from above.

Hide?

No matter how deeply they hide, they will be exposed by Gu Jinlai.

So, in just three days, he personally executed over a hundred people and imprisoned thousands more to await trial. The remaining Lineage finally became afraid.

Those who were able to escape to nearby cities for refuge, while those who were not, hid thousands of miles away. Even if they might face the threat of Demonic Beasts, it was better than confronting this terrible executioner directly.

In this situation, the efficiency of judging crimes has become increasingly slower Gu Jinlai, and the gains from confiscating property have become increasingly smaller.

After all, when they flee, they often take the most valuable possessions of their Lineage with them.

Just like now...

The Ouyang family was a top clan in the western outer city, with several Martial Kings and some at the peak of their power. However, when Gu Jinlai led his troops to arrive, they couldn't find even a Martial Grandmaster, and only a handful of Martial Generals remained.

The seized goods amounted to only 20 million.

"Any clues about the Ouyang family?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"According to the latest intelligence we have, the entire Ouyang family left the city last night. According to information obtained from the guards, they have important business to attend to in Haifeng City."

Tang Zhengxiao said.

"Haifeng City?"

Hearing this Gu Jinlai has stirred something within me.

Given his current position, leaving Fengyu City abruptly wouldn't be easy, but if he used the pretext of investigating the remnants of the Ouyang family...

"Did you think you could rest easy after escaping to Haifeng City?"

Gu Jinlai immediately sneered, "The crimes he committed in Wind and Rain City will be judged no matter where he flees to!"

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the next one."

As the group left the Ouyang family residence, a large crowd had already gathered outside.

When they saw Gu Jinlai, everyone cheered at the same time. "Lord Gu, Lord Gu is out!"

"Your Honor, we in the outer city are truly fortunate to be governed by Lord Gu!"

"The officials of Wind and Rain City are not blind to our suffering. They just need to enforce the law impartially and collect evidence. If they arrest people everywhere without evidence, how are they any different from those powerful clans? Now that we have waited so long, they have finally taken action to sweep away all the evil spirits and restore a bright and clear world to the outer city!"

"The more powerful a country is without justice and the rule of law, the more tragic it is for its people. We are fortunate to live in Wind and Rain City, and fortunate to have a just and honest city lord, deputy city lord, and district lord!"

The crowd shouted, their words filled with respect and love for the ruling class of Wind and Rain City throughout Gu Jinlai.

I am also happy, proud and honored to live in this city of wind and rain.

Gu Jinlai, people have witnessed and remembered this scene.

A just and honest city lord, deputy city lord, and general district lord.

Yes!

Wind and Rain City...

There will definitely be a group of fair and honest city lords, deputy city lords, and district lords.

That night, Gu Jinlai returned to the main residence of the regional commander.

The profits were even worse that day.

Only three beams of clear light were obtained.

Even after confiscating four properties, the total assets amounted to only 100 million yuan.

Of course, this doesn't include real estate; if real estate were included, the income would be quite substantial.

"Besides those who fled to other cities, many of these people are also hiding in the Inner City. However, although they are burdened with heavy Karma, they have managed to shirk all responsibility for their crimes, and the law enforcement agency cannot find any evidence of their violations."

Gu Jinlai examined the documents one by one. "Since each of them basically works in the City Lord Mansion, the Demon Slaying Hall, or the City Guard, without evidence and without them jumping out to stop me from confiscating their Lineage's property, I cannot directly take action against them."

He knew of more than thirty such people.

As I was reviewing the documents, I heard very light footsteps outside.

Without even looking up, Gu Jinlai asked, "Have you found any evidence of the Ye brothers' crimes?"

However, after asking the question, he realized something and immediately turned his gaze to the man in black in front of him.

The man simply waved his hand calmly.

The office door was closed immediately.

"Lord Gu, do you know that you are facing imminent disaster?"

The man in black said calmly.

Who are you?

He Gu Jinlai.

"Besides being the head of the district, Lord Gu is also the deputy captain of a Purifier squad. He should recognize me."

The man said.

Gu Jinlai stared at the man for a while, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said, "To pacify the Central Plains?"

"It's me."

The man calmly agreed.

"The third most dangerous member of the Demonic Cult on the Purifiers' list, possessing a Dao artifact, having perfected the Wind Shadow Divine Ability, and a combat strength of 83,000, is a powerful Celestial Person with a bounty of 12 billion!"

His origins Gu Jinlai.

But...

Seeing that his Karma was only at the "Yellow" level, he did not take action immediately.

"How dare you show your face in front of me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Ding Zhongyuan said, "The Divine Ability I've cultivated allow me to calmly retreat even when facing a Martial Saint. You pose no threat to me, and besides..."

He paused slightly, then said, "I came here because I couldn't bear to see someone who genuinely wanted to do things for Wind and Rain City die unjustly at the hands of those people. I came specifically to save your life."
