Liang Baixuan, pale-faced, was helped into the upper Council Hall.
Mo Yuan Yuancai barely snapped out of his daze, his throat bobbing rapidly. "..."
My God, what kind of behavior is this?
He has a lot of influence within the team, so he seems to be a very capable captain... but his tendency to take action without saying a word is a bit too fierce.
Fortunately, they acted with great restraint; the earlier show of force, though seemingly intimidating, was actually more of a deterrent.
Liang Baixuan did not suffer any serious injury as a result.
Moreover, given the woman's previous behavior, Mo Yuan could only choose to remain silent for the time being.
Let's first observe the demon-slaying style of this Ye surname Yao Xuan Envoy.
If the demon-slaying was as ruthless and decisive as it is now, then the old man would have no objection to the matter.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at this style...
This captain of the Yao Xuan Envoy, whose name is Ye Li in the file, could not possibly be a pushover who is all bark and no bite; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the group of arrogant Yao Xuan Envoy at headquarters!
Thinking of this, Mo Yuan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
A moment later, he climbed the steps and slowly walked into the council chamber that had been prepared in advance.
Once everyone was seated, the servants placed the tea in their places.
The old man couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Ye, what are your plans next?"
Ye Li did not answer directly, but turned to look at Liang Baixuan, whose face had just regained a little color:
"Tell me the whole story, the details of what happened on the day you were attacked."
"... The captain received intelligence that a demonic aura at the Divine Connection Realm had appeared in the east of the city, so he led us there to capture it."
Recalling that day, Liang Baixuan clenched her hands tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "But this intelligence was nothing but bait! It was bait used by that Great Demon to lure us to our deaths!"
"There are no lesser demons at the Divine Connection Realm there at all; what we have is a Saint-level Demon comparable to the Great Void Realm Seventh Level!"
Ye Li nodded slightly as he listened to her story.
I already had some guesses in my mind.
As soon as he entered the territory of Qingping City, he sensed a not-so-weak connection from that aura, which seemed to be the location of the demon.
Before coming here, he had already witnessed the experiences of the first Yao Xuan Envoy squad that had perished so violently.
The incident began with a series of murders in the north of the city. The team disappeared while investigating, and the Life Jade kept in the department was shattered. Afterwards, not even a trace of the bodies could be found.
Add to that the woman's ordeal.
What they all have in common is that they all initially had a clearly defined investigation location, just waiting for the Yao Xuan Envoy to receive the order to go and explore.
From this perspective alone, the demon's tricks are remarkably simplistic.
Initially, the destruction of the nest was achieved using the lives of many mortals, but now it is being carried out using the aura of Great Demon at the Great Void Realm Seventh Level.
By exploiting the asymmetry of intelligence, they repeatedly entice impatient fish to join in.
Someone else might be too anxious to notice.
But for Ye Li, who frequently used human heads as bait, it was far too obvious.
Moreover, if that's really the case.
To protect the demon's pride, he didn't intend to let its scheme fail.
"Everything's fine now, let's go."
Ye Li stood up and calmly issued his instructions.
Compared to the demons who love fishing, he's also quite impatient; it all depends on whether the other party's hook is strong enough.
Instead of racking our brains here to come up with a meticulous solution to break the deadlock.
Ye Li prefers a more difficult method: using absolute brute force to crush the opponent.
Even if the opponent possesses the skill of using minimal force to overcome great strength, as long as we have the strength of a million pounds, there will be no problem.
If so.
That means the skill points weren't allocated correctly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan was overjoyed and quickly got up:
"Lord Ye, would you like me to accompany you?"
According to the rules of the Nine Luminaries Division, the other party has the greatest command authority in this matter, and any deployment related to this matter must be approved by the other party.
"No need."
Ye Li didn't turn around, but walked straight to the gate, his calm voice carried on the wind:
"There will be quite a commotion later, so I'll have to Trouble Lord Mo to evacuate the people in advance."
If he could, he wouldn't even want to bring Chen Chuan and the other three along, let alone an old and frail Nine Luminaries Division Captain.
"Understood," Mo Yuan nodded in agreement.
From the perspective of the people of Qingping City, this matter is indeed quite important.
"Lord Ye."
Just then...
A slightly hoarse female voice came from behind Ye Li: "If it's not too Trouble... could you take me with you?"
Ye Li turned to look at Liang Baixuan, who was suppressing her fear, and after a moment's thought, replied calmly:
"Your strength is too weak. If you insist on coming along, then you can stay with Lord Mo and help evacuate the civilians on the outskirts."
It's understandable that the other party wants to witness the revenge process.
However, this means we'll skip any difficult maneuvers for him.
After all, Ye Li didn't know the specifics of this trip, and regardless of whose interests it was for, he shouldn't have brought the other party along.
Thank you.
"It's alright."
Ye Li ignored Liang Baixuan's slight gratitude and Mo Yuan's somewhat strange look, and strode out of the Council Hall.
After a brief discussion with Chen Chuan and the other three.
The group took to the air and flew towards the location of the aura.
"..."
Ye Li gazed at the rapidly receding scenery below, silently assessing his current level.
His normal state is comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator at the Great Void Realm Seventh Level.
With the blessing of [Golden Soul Revival], it can crush a saint like Chen Chuan who has been cultivated by the Nine Luminaries Division.
The main methods of attack are still other offensive and defensive tactics.
Aside from the extremely mana- Magic Power [True Self Dharma Body], which is only suitable as a powerful ultimate move, could he possibly defeat a Dao Evolution Realm cultivator or demon by combining all the cards he could use?
Ye Li was unsure, but perhaps this trip would provide some answers.
The fact that this demon in Qingping City dared to use the demonic energy of Great Void Realm Seventh Level cultivator to lure them in must mean it was confident it could devour a cultivator of that level; its strength must at least be at the Great Void Realm Eighth Layer...
