I Will Bring All the Great Sects of This Land Under Control

Du An's crimes are actually quite simple to explain --

First, they lured the Martial Dao prodigies of Wanjing Grand Commandery into the county under the guise of county officials, and then handed over the corresponding lists to the leaders of the Yun family and Purple Cloud Cave for selection.

Once the price was agreed upon, they could then travel to the two companies to participate in the so-called "secret assessments."

As for the final fate of these prodigies, Du An never inquired about it, but he could guess the general outline.

The true form of the master of Purple Cloud Cave is a Purple-bearded Flood Dragon. He was only allowed to enter the Eastern Continent to reside after being bound by the precepts, and therefore could not personally do such a thing.

Such a secretive way of gathering talented individuals cannot be a normal way of accepting disciples.

Judging from his increasingly stable Blood Vitality, he most likely uses those geniuses of the Ten Thousand Scenes as nourishment for his cultivation.

This is not unusual among the Purple-bearded Flood Dragon clan.

As for the Matriarch of the Yun family... it's unclear what she wants these prodigies for.

But if the Yun family truly wanted to recruit talented individuals, given their reputation in Wanjing Prefecture, why resort to such methods?

With the prestigious reputation of the Divine Connection Realm standing tall, all that's needed is to leak the news of recruiting disciples, and young martial artists will flock to the area.

However, such an action would inevitably have a significant impact.

The reason for using such covert methods to recruit them was probably to avoid being detected by the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department.

During the transaction, some astute young talents also keenly noticed some clues.

But how cunning and ruthless are Du An's methods?

He only selected young martial artists who had relatives or friends still alive.

For the sake of their family and friends, even if some geniuses among them know the truth about the [secret test], they usually dare not make it too public, but instead face death with despair.

In terms of his feelings before death, he was somewhat similar to Du An in his current state.

"Elder Ye! Don't listen to his nonsense!!"

At that moment, Du An's terrified voice echoed throughout the mansion.

He felt the sudden surge of Power of Law above his head, and struggled desperately, shouting:

"I have never made such a deal! Nor would I dare to. I hope the Guest Elder investigate thoroughly!"

Even now, he didn't forget to remind the other party of his status as a "guest advisor," trying to make him realize the difference in their social standing as soon as possible.

Ye Li's expression remained calm and composed throughout.

Looking at the old man's soul trembling wildly from lying, a cold Killing Intent gradually welled up in his eyes, and his voice remained calm:

"Yes, I saw it very clearly."

His noble Golden Soul endowed him with the ability to see through lies.

They arbitrarily used the lives of the people in the state as commodities to trade with the two major aristocratic families.

Both morally and logically, this official in charge of Wanjing Grand Commandery has committed serious dereliction of duty.

There's no need to be soft-hearted anymore.

It seems that this trip to Wanjing Grand Commandery will proceed faster than expected.

Click!!

Ye Li suddenly exerted force with his palm, and the immense power directly crushed Du An's head, abruptly silencing his cries for mercy!

Blood splattered everywhere, but it dissipated on its own a short distance from the boy.

The Dharma Body of True Person in the Divine Connection Realm is impervious to water and fire, and evil spirits naturally avoid it.

"Are you really going to kill me?!"

Despite being a powerful expert at the half-step Divine Connection Realm, the old man did not die on the spot even though his head was crushed.

Instead, it transformed into a slightly illusory Spiritual Body, rising from its own body, its face filled with a mixture of fear and dread as it stared at Ye Li.

He was a prefectural magistrate, a high-ranking official in the Eastern Continent, yet the other party, a mere Guest Elder, had not consulted his superiors at all and wanted to kill him right here!

He's insane! He's a complete madman!

Where on earth did this madman at the Divine Connection Realm come from?!

"Ye Li! Such actions will surely be met with unforeseen wrath from the Eastern Continent's Director of the Celestial Observatory!"

With a roar, Du An was overcome with fear and fled at breakneck speed toward the horizon without looking back!

Alas!

However, amidst numerous shocked and astonished gazes...

With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Li transformed the ball of Pure Qi in his palm into a dazzling and blinding Law Fire, roaring out like a raging dragon!

The Heavenly Law flames, growing exponentially in size as if struck by a meteorite from outer space, instantly enveloped the rapidly fleeing figure in shadow.

The scent of death was palpable.

Du An turned around abruptly, his face, illuminated by the firelight, filled with terror. He saw his long-deceased great-grandmother waving at him from the raging Law Fire.

They couldn't care about anything else anymore.

The old man desperately mobilized the [Faithful Wish Power] of the entire prefecture, and his illusory body quickly became solid, his aura rising steadily, and he instantly reached the level of the Divine Connection Realm!

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky surged and churned, blowing down with tremendous force, like a heavy barrier blocking Du An's way.

However, compared to that raging ball of Law Fire...

This so-called barrier of clouds appears remarkably flimsy in scale.

Boom!!--

The moment the two made contact, the cloud barrier trembled violently, melting away as quickly as thick snow touching a hot iron ball.

A crimson meteorite, over ten thousand feet in diameter, easily shattered the clouds, filling Du An's entire field of vision.

Boom!!!

The entire vast land shook violently, and fierce Gale Force swept in all directions!

Ye Li turned around.

At that moment, a sudden gust of wind swept in, billowing his snow-white coat. The flames shooting straight into the sky illuminated the stunned faces of the group. The Guest Elder, who looked exceptionally young, remained calm, exuding a powerful aura unique to those in positions of authority, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

"My name is Ye Li, and I am a guest minister of the Heavenly Supervision Department."

His seemingly casual voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears, resounding throughout the heavens and earth. "We are now officially taking over Wanjing Grand Commandery, intending to control all the prestigious sects here."

"Who's in favor, who's opposed?"

As he spoke, the scorching Gale Force behind Ye Li gradually subsided.

The mountains were covered with cracks and looked like they were about to collapse completely at any moment!

"..."

Many members of the Heavenly Supervision Department Bureau subconsciously held their breath, the image of the old man being casually killed flashing through their minds, making them feel the immense pressure and unprecedented oppression from the person before them.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire Heavenly Supervision Department residence.

With such a tremendous presence, the name of this newly appointed guest minister will likely spread throughout the entire Wanjing Grand Commandery in no time.

Under the combined rule of the Yun family and the Purple Cloud Cave, this vast territory, which has been undisturbed for a long time, seems poised to witness a cleansing operation that will shake the Eastern Continent.

No one dared to voice their opposition, and no one wanted to oppose it.

To control all the prestigious sects in this area... this is clearly an attempt to take action against those two first-rate forces with the Divine Connection Realm True Person experts in charge!

Thinking of this...

Their eyes shone with a long-lost excitement, and their bodies trembled slightly.

Then they all bowed to the White-robed Guest Elder in front of them, their loud voices resounding:

"We will strictly abide by the laws and regulations for guest elders!"

For these powerful members of the Heavenly Supervision Department of Wanjing Prefecture...

The methods Ye Li just displayed were incredibly impactful.

With the blessing of [Faithful Wish Power], the Prefectural Magistrate was practically invincible within the prefecture.

However, in the face of this guest elder who had suddenly appeared in Wanjing, he was simply and brutally destroyed, along with his greatly enhanced Spiritual Body.

This is a top-tier Divine Connection Realm True Person from the Eastern Continent!

Even the surrounding mountains and fields were reduced to ruins as a result.

Compared to the seemingly prosperous but actually devastated Wanjing Grand Commandery, this is a very positive change!

"..."

Qin Han looked around, his expression dazed.

Thinking back to when he first arrived in Wanjing Grand Commandery, he felt at a loss, as these so-called powerful members of the Heavenly Supervision Department had never cooperated like this before.

He was even prepared for a protracted battle that would be exhausting and mentally draining.

However, the situation suddenly changed drastically as soon as Mr. Ye entered the room.

They went straight to attacking and defending against the aliens.

Recalling Ye Li's previous behavior, he scratched his head somewhat helplessly.

Although it's somewhat unbelievable.

But without a doubt.

Mr. Ye's cultivation level has returned to the Divine Connection Realm.
