The Imperial Sky Observatory's Sky Had Gone Dark

Ye Li's power at the Heaven and Earth Realm was too immense.

Even with the so-called suppression of [Laws] here, it cannot conceal the churning of the earth's veins, which is comparable to an earthquake.

"..."

Those disciples within the Imperial Sky Observatory knew that such a grand display was merely the physical power of that unfamiliar Daoist priest.

For a moment, I was so overwhelmed with shock that I completely forgot about the work at hand.

However, given the sheer size of the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department, a considerable number of its cultivators were unaware of the specific details of this place.

Caught off guard, they initially thought some foreign enemy had come to the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department to use their supernatural Divine Ability.

Soon, a group of heavily armored law enforcement officers rushed to the Imperial Sky Observatory.

However, all they saw was the remains of an old man in black robes and a Daoist priest in Baiyi with a calm expression.

My breath hitched.

The latter was an unfamiliar face, but the former's black robe, belonging to an elder of the Imperial Sky Observatory, was unmistakable.

The Imperial Sky Observatory's dispatching elder died in public at headquarters...

Whatever the reason, this is a major event that could enrage the higher-ups!

Upon thinking of this, the heavily armored Law Enforcement Hall's face instantly darkened. His gaze was fixed on Ye Li, and his voice carried an undeniable domineering tone. "Unauthorized killing of an elder is a serious crime within the department!"

"Law Enforcement Hall, heed my command! Seize this man..."

The words abruptly stopped.

The Law Enforcement Hall frowned, his gaze, filled with suspicion, sweeping back and forth between the Guest Elder Jade Token hanging from Ye Li's waist and Qin Han, who was slowly walking out of the ruins.

Suddenly I felt like my brain wasn't working properly.

Something's not right.

I initially thought it was some kind of foreign invasion, but it turns out the crime scene is full of our own high-ranking officials.

"Fellow colleagues of the Law Enforcement Hall, please hear what I have to say."

Qin Han immediately straightened his clothes and stepped forward somewhat stiffly. Among the disciples of the Director of the Celestial Observatory, he had a relatively low profile, and this was the first time he had been involved in an event of this scale.

I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But as nervous as I am, I still have to shoulder the responsibility.

Ultimately, it was their own fault for not arranging tasks properly, which led to Mr. Ye being forced into a fight so soon after taking office, thus resulting in the current stalemate.

For the sake of the long-term development of both parties, we must take this matter upon ourselves no matter what.

Moreover, Elder Chen of the Imperial Sky Observatory had previously abused his power.

Even if their own master punishes them, they will never pursue the matter too much...

Qin Han took a deep breath, handed over his personal token as a trusted heir of the department to the other party, and then decided to take charge of the matter.

Unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to take responsibility.

Ye Li then took a light step and instantly arrived in front of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, his voice calm:

"Elder Chen abused his power and violated the law, and I have executed him on the spot. If any of you are dissatisfied, you may go to the Director of the Celestial Observatory to report this."

As he spoke, he unfolded a document bearing the imperial seal, held it up in front of the other person's face, and said calmly:

"But the situation in Tai'an Prefecture is urgent at the moment, and I have been ordered to go there to suppress the unrest."

"If the members of the Law Enforcement Hall delay military operations under the pretext of investigation—"

In the silent Imperial Sky Observatory, Ye Li's voice sounded particularly cold, "Then don't blame this elder for cleaning house for the Heavenly Supervision Department."

If the boy could understand others' thoughts, he would find Qin Han's ideas rather superfluous.

Taking the blame?

Why take the blame?

In Ye Li's view, his reasons for taking action were so compelling that if the higher-ups at the Heavenly Supervision Department still had objections, that was the Heavenly Supervision Department's problem.

Even after joining the Heavenly Supervision Department, he would still make decisions based on his own standards.

If anyone thinks that their actions do not meet God's standards and makes objections, that person will be sent to meet God.

First try diplomacy, then resort to force; if necessary, kill.

From beginning to end, this matter has been that simple.

The moment Ye Li finished speaking, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall inexplicably began to breathe rapidly.

Nothing more.

Ye Li's speed in closing the distance was so fast that Ye Li couldn't even see him clearly. With such unpredictable movement, if they were to fight here, Ye Li felt that even the combined strength of the entire Law Enforcement Hall would be insufficient to defeat him.

Is it just my imagination?

Leaving that aside...

Everyone knows about the stalemate in Tai'an Prefecture. The Nine Tripod Sword Sect with Half-step True Person in charge, has secretly colluded with evil forces and is now desperately holding on under the siege of the Heavenly Supervision Department, refusing to surrender.

With the meddling of that Half-step True Person from the Nine Tripod Sword Sect, it seems that even a Venerable of the Heaven and Earth Realm would be unable to extricate Tai'an Prefecture from its current predicament.

In terms of danger, it can be considered one of the most dangerous major prefectures in the Eastern Continent today.

For this reason, all the guest advisors in the department were extremely secretive about him, avoiding him at all costs.

At this point, reinforcements become especially important.

The crimson seal on the document in the Daoist's hand gleamed brightly; it was the genuine seal of the Imperial Seal.

It can be said that the reasons and procedures are all complete.

Now that things have come to this, unless someone is a fool who wants to lose their head, no one would dare to stop the Baiyi Daoist priest in front of them!

We should wait until he returns before discussing anything further.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Splash!

The members of the Law Enforcement Hall immediately bowed and made way for him, clearing a wide Great Dao.

The Law Enforcement Hall, recalling what the other party had said earlier, broke out in a cold sweat. "The elder is absolutely right; it was I, Dong, who was presumptuous!"

Let's set aside whether the Baiyi priest before us can resolve the crisis in Tai'an Prefecture.

This act of sacrificing oneself for righteousness alone is enough to earn their heartfelt respect.

With such a deep concern for the common people, he is certainly not the kind of person who stirs up trouble.

Others may not know Elder Chen's habits, but as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, how could Dong Zexing not know them?

It's obvious who's right and who's wrong.

Moreover, given the guest elder's confidence, he must have already received a secret order from above to arrest Elder Chen.

Otherwise, why would that Personal Disciple of the Director of the Director of the Celestial Observatory have been specifically accompanying him?

Thinking of this, Dong Zexing's expression became even more respectful, and his manners became even more impeccable. "Elder, please take care."

Ye Li ignored him, put away the documents, and strode out of the hall.

"..."

Such a sight left the disciples of the Imperial Sky Observatory completely stunned.

What's going on?!

It's dark Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department?!

Qin Han, watching from behind, was also dumbfounded.

He had assumed that, given his new arrival, even someone like Mr. Ye, a former True Person of Divine Connection, would be somewhat at a loss.

Even if I can't help in terms of combat strength, I can still act as a buffer in these internal conflicts.

However, the situation was completely different from what he had expected.

In sight, the Baiyi fluttered freely in the wind, still exuding elegance.

Whether in the Eastern Tianheng Eastern Region or on this Taiqing Ancestral Star, the Daoist remained calm and composed, never showing the slightest sign of panic.

Is this the style and demeanor of the older generation of Martial Path True Person?!

I'm still thinking about how to help the other person avoid Trouble.

The person involved took the documents directly and planned to head straight for the dangerous place!

Qin Han couldn't contain his excitement. He looked up at Ye Li's receding figure and hurriedly chased after him.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye! I am quite familiar with the stalemate in Tai'an Prefecture and can show you the way!"
