Of course, aside from those council members,
many aristocratic families were also drowning in despair.
They cried that this was a disaster out of nowhere.
After all, they had not been involved in any of this.
But since the matter had reached Chen Yu, he simply launched a Great Purge.
As long as someone had erred, they would be punished!
No matter their background or status.
It was useless!
For a time...
the entire Federation was thrown into turmoil, and no one could escape.
They could only obediently submit to investigation and judgment.
The ones overseeing this investigation...
were a joint department of the War God Temple and the Dou Tian Department.
After all, every one of them possessed high cultivation and exceptional talent, the sort with hope of becoming gods.
They rarely touched things they should not.
On the contrary, those with no hope of becoming gods craved mortal wealth, status, and power even more.
"What do we do? Those people from the War God Temple and the Dou Tian Department have already started arresting people everywhere. Even among the Eight Great Legions, quite a few have been taken. What should we do next?"
At that moment, in a hidden location,
a group of impeccably dressed heads of Federation aristocratic families had gathered there.
Yet now, they no longer possessed their former ease.
Instead, each of their eyes was bloodshot.
Their eyes were wide open as well.
They looked as though they wanted to devour someone.
It could not be helped. Ever since they learned of the Divine Edict Chen Yu had issued, they had been utterly despairing and broken.
They could not even close their eyes to sleep.
They feared that if they closed them, they would never open them again.
They could only barely fall asleep
