Chen Chuan and his team were remarkably efficient.
Upon receiving Ye Li's order, Chen Chuan, who was in charge, immediately ended his leave and headed straight to the Archives Department with the order and his men, instructing Gongshu Yan, who was skilled in intelligence work, to organize the relevant intelligence.
That's why it was delivered to Ye Li so promptly.
After a brief visit, the young man immediately gained a deeper understanding of the Dragon Pool family, with whom he had a blood feud.
The files kept by the Taicang Mu Family within the Nine Luminaries Division are quite interesting.
Cultivating immortality while still alive, bribing the prefect... all those crimes that could be recorded in the archives were serious offenses punishable by death, but the problem was that none of these crimes had sufficient evidence.
There was naturally no reason for them to take action.
But for Ye Li, this has always been the least important issue.
After going through a series of short questions and answers, you'll have everything.
"Using living people to cultivate clones?"
Hearing the young man's question echoing in the hall, Mu Zhaorong felt a cold sweat break out on her back, and even her movements as she poured tea trembled slightly. She forced a smile and said:
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Is that so?" Ye Li's smile widened, but his voice grew even colder as he said:
"But now I'm asking you questions. You only need to answer yes or no, and you don't need to answer anything else."
"What do you mean? What exactly are you trying to say?" Mu Zhaorong's expression gradually turned ugly. She had already keenly sensed the surging vortex of Magic Power within the other party's body!
What on earth is going to do?!
If you dare to make a move here, how do you, a late-stage Grand Saint of the Great Void Realm, possibly expect to leave the Mu family's gates?!
However, no one would answer her question at that moment.
Ye Li lowered his eyes to look at the steaming tea, and continued speaking to himself:
"With so many living people cultivating clones, there should have been some clues left behind, but the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division has been unable to gather enough evidence."
"Mu Family Head, tell me, did the previous Dragon Pool County accept too many bribes from you, which is why he destroyed the relevant records in the archives department so early?"
"General Ye, what you're saying is going too far."
Mu Fusheng was sitting on the High Platform, finally couldn't sit still any longer. He slowly stood up from behind the table and said in a low voice, "Do you have any evidence to support such irresponsible remarks?"
At the same time, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
How could a newly promoted lieutenant ask such a deadly question right off the bat!
Do you really want the Mu family to fight to the death?!
At this moment, many of the direct descendants of the Mu family who had come to their senses showed a hint of anger on their faces, and some even clenched their fists, glaring angrily at the unrestrained Boy in Black.
First, he made his aunt serve him tea and water, and now he's bringing up old grievances.
This person clearly wants to kill the Mu family!
However, under the faint but powerful aura of the saint, these direct disciples dared not speak out in anger, and could only look with hopeful eyes at Mu Zhaorong, who was closest to Ye Li.
I'll say it one last time.
Ye Li put down his teacup, reached out and pressed down on Mu Zhaorong, who was breathing rapidly beside him, uttering emotionless words:
"To answer the question, simply answer yes or no."
"..." Mu Fusheng's face darkened. Without time to think, he angrily flung his sleeve and shouted his rebuttal:
"General Ye certainly has quite the airs of an official! But unfortunately, we have never colluded with the former Dragon Pool County in this way, let alone used our own clan to cultivate so-called clones!"
"You are welcome to thoroughly investigate the entire Mu family. If even one of my direct descendants has committed such a crime, I, Mu Fusheng, will personally kill him right here and now without you having to lift a finger!"
He stepped down from the High Platform, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and tried to make his words more persuasive.
And so the middle-aged Family Head finished speaking.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Li actually stopped asking questions.
The huge banquet hall fell silent for a moment.
General Ye, is there anything else you wish to say?
Mu Zhaorong broke the silence first, looking steadily at Ye Li, her voice returning to its usual calm.
The faint sound of my heartbeat seemed to echo in my ears.
For some reason, she always felt a lingering sense of fear in his presence.
Most likely, it's a lingering effect from that day in China.
To overcome this fear, we must first confront its source.
Thinking of this, she met Ye Li's dark eyes directly. Before she could say anything harsh, she saw the cold, piercing smile in his eyes.
The overwhelming Killing Intent was almost palpable!
Mu Zhaorong's pupils immediately contracted, and even the harsh words caught in her throat. "You..."
Before the words were even finished, a shocking change occurred.
To deal with the surging Magic Power within the boy's body, Mu Zhaorong had made many preparations in advance, such as allowing the Magic Power to flow through her entire body as well.
However, the punch was still faster than she had imagined.
Boom!
In an instant, an overwhelming force suddenly struck her from her chest. Mu Zhaorong felt her vision go black, and then the walls of the pavilion, made of fine spirit wood, crumbled instantly. Her slender figure flew out like a cannonball!
"It seems you really are Erdolong."
Amidst numerous astonished and stunned gazes, Ye Li abruptly stood up.
At that moment, a gust of wind poured in from the broken hole in the attic, causing his long ink-colored robe to flutter like flowing water!
"Do I have anything to say?"
A fierce wind howled, and the boy's slightly mocking, icy voice echoed in everyone's ears, making Mu Fusheng's face twitch violently:
"You idiots who give irrelevant answers and love to make a scene, you're all going to die here today!"
The moment he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.
A series of dense sonic booms followed, and several members of the Mu family who were about to help were suddenly blown apart after touching a high-speed moving object!
Blood mist fell to the ground, like the death knell.
"Enemy attack!!"
If Mu Fusheng didn't act now, he wouldn't be able to sit in his current position as the Family Head. He immediately crushed a jade Jade Token and his angry shouts echoed throughout the entire Taicang Mu Family!
Madman! Madman!
He never dreamed that this newly appointed lieutenant would actually dare to act in such a way!
They didn't even consider how they were going to explain themselves to the other forces in Longtan Grand Commandery afterward! How were they going to explain themselves to Lin Huaijin, whose position was also precarious!
"You think the Mu family is afraid of you?!"
Mu Fusheng's face was contorted in pain as a sharp whistling sound, accompanied by a flash of blood, hurtled towards him from above!
He roared and, with a backhand motion, channeled his own Great Void Qi to strike directly at the target!
The aura of the deep white forest possesses the power to seize life and creation.
Ye Li remained expressionless. The instant his five fingers came together, a storm of Black light gathered on his fist and slammed down!
A deafening roar!
The two surging forces collided head-on, and Mu Fusheng's pale white light was violently shattered into countless particles of light in the blink of an eye!
Passing through the shattered Great Void Qi.
The fair fist slammed mercilessly into Mu Fusheng's forehead.
With a loud bang, the Family Head was smashed open like a bamboo shard!
The remaining remains were blasted straight away by the remaining force, and the violent storm blasted the pavilion apart!
The Void Shattering Fist, having reached its pinnacle, now unleashed its full power.
[Seriously injuring the Mu Family Head, a half-step Dao Evolution Realm cultivator, in public! Malice Points +!]
