"Explain."
Ye Li didn't even look up.
Qin Baiyi glanced at An Ziqing, who hadn't come over yet, and lowered his voice:
"My parents escaped from danger the day before yesterday, and were personally escorted back by an official from the Crown Prince's Palace named He Jingming."
"This person not only took the initiative to help my parents eliminate the tampering left by the Third Princess, but also made a point of talking to Palace Heir An before leaving."
"His words were all meant to curry favor with Palace Heir An, saying that no matter which continent a cultivator was in Trouble, His Highness the Crown Prince was willing to lend a helping hand."
"At the time, Palace Heir An did not refuse, but instead asked a follow-up question... I am worried that the Eastern Palace may have ulterior motives, so I have come to ask you to make a decision."
Ye Li paused slightly as he flipped through the Jade Slip, then nodded calmly and said:
"Okay, I understand. You can continue with your work."
Seeing his Prefectural Lord so calm, Qin Baiyi felt somewhat relieved and bowed as he withdrew.
They rested for less than half an hour.
The airship set off again, heading straight for the last key force listed in the dossier—
Mystic Gale Sect!
That evening, the setting sun was like blood.
The highest level of protective barriers had already been activated both inside and outside the Mystic Gale Sect's Mountain Gate!
In recent days, news of Ye Li's southward journey and the destruction of several True Person Dao Lineages, along with the emperor's decree of punishment, has already spread throughout the major prefectures through various channels!
The Mystic Gale Sect was well aware that its foundation was not clean, and its sect leader, True Person Mystic Gale, had recalled all the elders who were away in advance, preparing to take the core treasures to temporarily avoid disaster.
The matter was just settled.
A streak of silver-white spear light tore through the Sea of Clouds, shattering the thick Gale Force array that the Mystic Gale Sect had spent tens of thousands of years setting up!
"Ye Li!!"
True Person Mystic Gale, clad in heavy armor and wielding a giant shield, soared into the sky, his face filled with shock and anger as he watched the Green Robe youth approaching through the air.
"His Majesty's decree of punishment has already spread throughout the court and the country. Tomorrow is your deadline to enter the capital for questioning!"
"You can barely protect yourself now, yet you dare to commit violence in my Mystic Gale Sect? Aren't you afraid that tomorrow the Imperial Palace will unleash a thunderous punishment, reducing you to ashes?!"
The elders below also echoed the stern shouts, trying to intimidate this menacing figure by mentioning tomorrow's Imperial Court interrogation.
Ye Lijin's eyes remained indifferent, his steps unwavering, and his chilling laughter echoed throughout the land.
That's for tomorrow.
"At least you won't see it today."
Before he could finish speaking...
His figure transformed into Golden Thunderbolt and shot out, meeting the giant shield that True Person Mystic Gale had raised with a powerful punch!
Click!!
The giant Immortal Gold shield, powerful enough to withstand an attack from True Person of the same realm, shattered and exploded on the spot!
True Person Mystic Gale's tiger's mouth exploded, and he tried to retreat in horror, but the Pure Qi all around had already converged from all directions, locking his figure in a small space!
The four True Person souls arrived at the sound of his voice, completely extinguishing his desire to use his Fortune-Mastery techniques.
They could only watch helplessly as a dazzling fire dragon roared and charged down from the sky!
Boom!!
A mighty burst of Crimson-Gold Divine Fire exploded from the sky!
This veteran True Person, renowned for many years, was unable to utter another word of begging for mercy as his body and Divine Soul were brutally crushed amidst piercing screams!
[Publicly killed the Xuan Fortune-Mastery Realm Mystic Gale Sect Master! Malice Points +!!]
The remaining powerful elders who attempted to escape were also intercepted and killed in mid-air by several streaks of souls that shot out!
That concludes the discussion.
The dossier that Qin Mingshu sent showed that all the top-tier forces that had been marked had been completely wiped out!
Night fell.
After leaving the mess of the Mystic Gale Sect to the last group of Manager to deal with.
Ye Li led An Ziqing, Qin Baiyi, and the others onto a large Treasure Ship, turned around, and officially set sail for Longwind Capital.
In the past two days, they have encountered many Treasure Ships from the Divine Dynasty, but they have all kept their distance, and neither the prefecture nor the state has shown any intention of sending out high-level cultivators.
It's truly difficult to guess what Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor was thinking.
But Ye Li didn't care at all. Since the other party was letting him farm experience points like crazy, he might as well wait to beat up the big dad he had raised.
If you're so capable, summon ten living True Lords, and then he'll show them what Heaven and Earth Manifestation.
"..."
A cool night breeze blew as the Treasure Ship glided through the Sea of Clouds.
In front of the Quiet Room on the upper deck.
Ye Li sat alone behind the stone table, with several Jade Slips of Inheritance neatly arranged in front of him, which he had plundered from the treasure vaults of various Mountain Gate over the past two days.
Blood God Scripture, Black Water Mystic Art, Mystic Gale World-Subduing Method...
These are all core techniques of the Fortune-Mastery Realm, which each sect regards as its lifeblood.
Ye Li probed into each of them with his Divine Consciousness, comparing it with the "Everlasting Spring Dao-Nourishing Method" he had previously read and the Supreme Clarity Palace's Inheritance.
The more he compared and contrasted, the clearer his understanding of the path to the Fortune-Mastery Realm became.
Within this True Source World, the process of a cultivator breaking through to the Path Opening of Fortune-Mastery is essentially about integrating their own established Great Dao into the world, thereby stealing or taking control of a portion of the "authority of this realm."
The higher the authority, the stronger the Power of Laws that can be mobilized.
However, these Earth Art of the Longwind Divine Dynasty all share a very obvious commonality when attempting to Fortune-Mastery—
Their access to authority is entirely dependent on the National Fortune system of the Longwind Divine Dynasty.
In this way, one can certainly benefit from the Divine Dynasty's fortune during ordinary cultivation.
However, once they face the Longwind Divine Dynasty Imperial House, who control the source of the National Fortune, their own Great Dao will be naturally suppressed, and they will not be able to exert even 70% or 80% of their strength.
'No wonder Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor dared to allow so many True Person to be born under his rule; it turns out that the lifeblood of the emperor had long been in the hands of the royal family.'
"They can make these True Person scream in pain with just a pinch..."
Ye Li tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, lost in thought.
His approach was completely different from these people.
With the superior Fortune-Mastery of the Supreme Clarity Palace as a foundation, coupled with the massive Malice Points that have now skyrocketed to over 4.5 trillion on the panel...
When he finally takes that step, he won't need to borrow authority from this world or any Divine Dynasty.
They can simply use their hard-earned resources to forcibly seize control of this world!
At that time, let alone an ordinary Fortune-Mastery, even if they were to encounter the true True Lord of the royal family who was stationed in the Imperial Palace, it would be hard to say who would suppress whom.
Thinking of this...
Ye Li raised his hand to collect the many Jade Slips on the table and looked up at the northern night sky.
Longwind Divine Dynasty Emperor issued an edict ordering him to come to the capital tomorrow to be questioned...
Honestly, it's no wonder he's so uneasy, saying such exciting things without permission.
He also wanted to see for himself what this emperor, who had watched him destroy several Mountain Gate without sending troops to stop him, was really up to!
Just then.
A series of light footsteps came from the corridor behind the deck.
An Ziqing, dressed in a plain white dress, walked calmly down the deck towards Ye Li after observing her surroundings.
At the same time.
Qin Baiyi and Pei You'an, who had just finished helping Shen Lingyi check the various account lists, happened to walk up the spiral staircase on the side onto the deck.
Upon seeing An Ziqing approaching, Qin Baiyi paused slightly, then offered a polite smile and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting:
"Palace Heir An, are you still up so late?"
"Judging by the distance, we'll arrive in the capital in a few more hours..."
But An Ziqing seemed not to hear him.
She stared straight ahead and walked right past Qin Baiyi!
Just like that day outside the mansion.
He didn't even glance at her, let alone reply!
