Besides dealing with the corrupt and rebellious Soul Masters, Qian Xunyi carried out sweeping reforms, bringing his blade straight down on the main artery.
More than five thousand guilty Soul Masters, along with members of their clans, were all sent to the Mental Department for reeducation. When they emerged, every one of them had become the Pope's most loyal soldier.
Their first battle was to hunt down the fleeing criminals.
During the pursuit of these Soul Masters, some bishops caught wind of it and fled to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the two great empires, and other factions to seek protection.
Qian Xunyi's order was to hunt these criminals down even if they had to scour heaven and earth.
The Punishment Battalion took on the dirty work. They stormed into the two empires, dragged out the criminals one by one, and escorted them back to the Mental Department for reeducation. If someone happened to die in the process, they were directly transformed into Black Fury and made to serve the Pope with whatever value they had left.
As for the criminals hiding among tough nuts like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall directly sent Title Douluo elders to threaten them: hand over the fugitives, or go to war.
Faced with Spirit Hall's aggressive pressure, those sects, empires, and factions could only grit their teeth and hand the people over.
This massive arrest operation directly left sixty percent of Spirit Hall's manpower vacant.
Secret Realm Envoys filled the vacancies, temporarily taking the positions of Spirit Hall bishops. Later, Spirit Hall gradually assigned new bishops to fill those openings.
During this process, the major sects, nations, and clans finally turned their attention to the mysterious and unfathomable Secret Realm Hall.
