Within the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division, countless Yao Xuan Envoy came and went.
It was already late, but the place was still brightly lit and noisy.
Several Star Skiff landed on the relevant buildings, and then carried a large number of cleanup personnel back to the Mu family to finish up the work.
The remaining members of the Mu family, still shaken, were taken to the underground prison for questioning by several senior Yao Xuan Envoy after disembarking from the Star Skiff.
After confirming there are no problems, they should be fully absorbed by the Nine Luminaries Division afterwards.
After the complete downfall of the Mu family, this was practically the cleanest new generation of leaders.
If these Mu family members who have just lost their ancestral home are properly settled, Lin Huaijin, the newly appointed prefect, will be able to build his own trusted forces within a few decades.
With the detailed evidence of his crimes presented by Mu Fusheng, the Dragon Pool County could be said to have received a tremendous credit without lifting a finger.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel grateful that the Tiger Tally had been given out early enough; otherwise, he might not have even been able to claim any credit.
Given Ye Li's potential and realm, once he breaks through to the Dao Evolution Realm, the lord of the Imperial City will surely not refuse to use him. At that time, he will no longer care about a mere Longtan Grand Commandery.
I didn't feel any other emotions, just a little reluctant to part with it.
However, despite his reluctance, he would not stop submitting Ye Li's name to higher authorities because of this.
After all, it's one thing to be a winner without effort, but I can't let young people's lives be ruined as well, can I?
The remaining Yao Xuan Envoy carried boxes transported from the Mu family's treasury. The Nine Luminaries Division had a rule that, in order to prevent any Yao Xuan Envoy from embezzling funds, storage-type Treasured Artifacts could not be used in this step.
The magnificent Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division, under such an atmosphere, appeared exceptionally lively.
Ye Li disembarked from the Star Skiff reserved for the general, with Chen Chuan and the others following behind him until they stopped in front of the courtyard where they were temporarily staying.
"Lord Ye must be very tired from this trip, so we won't bother you any longer. The list of the Mu family's treasure trove will be ready soon, and I will send someone to deliver it then."
A somewhat stiff smile appeared on Chen Chuan's deathly face. "Prefect Lin said you can choose whichever you like."
Actually, I've already finished browsing through the Mu family's treasure trove... Ye Li nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.
Thank you for your trouble.
After saying this, he nodded to the other three people, then turned and walked into the courtyard.
The door slammed shut.
The gloomy gazes that had been pouring in from all directions finally disappeared.
Seeing this, a hint of emotion flashed across Chen Chuan's eyes.
This captain, who was capable of single-handedly annihilating the entire Taicang Mu Family, has now completely lost all his arrogance.
Only heartfelt and sincere respect.
Chen Chuan was absolutely certain that, under the other party's leadership, this team would inevitably become a legend in the Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division... or rather, they were already close to achieving that goal.
On their way here, not a single Yao Xuan Envoy who heard of this matter failed to cast a look of shock and respect upon them.
When my younger sister has completed her cultivation at the Shangqing Palace and returns home to investigate, she will surely be proud of it, won't she?
Let's go.
Chen Chuan took a deep look at the courtyard. Now that the other party had been promoted to lieutenant general, he should soon have new clothes and new residence. This should be the last time they saw him off here.
"Lord Ye is really exaggerating," Gongshu Yan exclaimed.
Ever since he heard about this at the Mu family's residence, he hadn't stopped marveling at it; he had truly never seen such a formidable person.
"He's good at fighting, but his personality is just too stubborn." Xie Huaiwei, who was in charge of medicine, shook her head slightly and sighed.
"After such a fierce battle, there's no guarantee his body won't be injured somewhere, and he might develop some hidden ailments in the future. I genuinely want to get him a full checkup, sigh..."
"There's probably nothing wrong with it," Chen Chuan said hesitantly.
In fact, he was also somewhat worried about the boy's health. After all, the boy was from a prominent family in Longtan, and who knew if he might have some underhanded tricks involving hidden poisons.
After the purging process, Xie Huaiwei, the pharmacist, conducted a thorough examination, nothing bad was expected.
However, on the previous Star Skiff, Lord Ye absolutely refused, and his face even darkened when he heard that the inspection would require removing clothing.
It's really hard to understand; if you didn't know better, you'd think you'd suffered a loss in this area before.
Xie Huaiwei rolled her eyes at this, then tapped Chen Chuan's shoulder with a hint of emotion and said:
"It's also possible that they still have doubts about us, after all, we collectively attacked that genius before, under his instructions!"
This time, Chen Chuan's face darkened, and after a long while, he finally managed to stammer out, "..."
"Probably not."
Besides, the attack ultimately failed.
Gongshu Yan nodded in agreement. "They slapped us a few times, and we all collapsed, even Sister Huaiwei, who wasn't involved, got slapped."
"I think we're no longer a threat in Lord Ye's eyes; at most, we're just a few talking mascots."
"Stop being so cheeky." Chen Chuan's lips twitched slightly, and he said with a hint of helplessness:
"Hurry back and recover from your injuries. Lord Ye will likely be on another mission in a few days, and we'll have to be of some use then. We can't be a burden anymore."
"That makes sense."
Upon hearing this, the other three nodded in agreement and then left the area.
It was late at night, and no one was around.
The courtyard is some distance from the noisy office area, making it quite tranquil.
Ye Li sat upright on the Meditation Cushion, breathing in and out the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth in the room while summoning his own System Panel.
[Current Malice Points: Points!]
His gaze swept over the words on the panel, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
This number seems like a lot, but in reality, it's barely enough to fully upgrade one's Cultivation Method.
If I had known the Mu family was so incapable of enduring hardship, I should have increased my cultivation to the Great Void Realm Peak later. In that case, my current Malice Points would have increased several times over.
"... Not necessarily."
After pondering for a few seconds, Ye Li shook his head to himself.
With his cultivation at the Great Void Realm Fourth Level, if he were to go all out against the Mu family, he would most likely be the one to have the last laugh. However, that would add a lot of risk.
Leaving aside the duration of [Golden Soul Revival], there are other matters that require close attention.
Simply capturing the five escaped elders of the Mu family and Mu Zhaorong would be a stretch for someone at the Great Void Realm Fourth Level.
If even one escapes, it would be a potential hidden danger.
Therefore, it seems best to fill it up as much as possible when you can.
Ye Li composed himself and took out the waist tag engraved with "[Boundary Patrol Envoy]".
Advancing to the Dao Evolution Realm requires the relevant [Great Dao Resonance Method], a basic fact he already knew when he was reading the old man's notes.
From what the Skeletal Elder had said back then, Ye Li could now deduce the approximate level of his cultivation during his lifetime.
One step away from becoming an immortal is the third realm of the Immortal Gate, the level of an immortal cultivator.
The secret treasures he left behind would naturally include the so-called Great Dao Resonance Method.
Holding the waist token, Ye Li's mind returned to the space filled with the fragrance of herbs.
After a brief glance, he reopened his eyes, and a scroll of extraordinary quality appeared in his palm.
Open the scroll, and the panel immediately provides a response.
[Sacred Great Dao Resonance Method. The Myriad Dao True Unity Art! (Beginner)]
[Upgradeable!]
You can find the Great Dao Resonance Method at the Saint-level with just a casual glance.
This is Ye Li's current foundation in cultivation.
It should be noted that the Saint-grade Guixu Method required for advancing to the Great Void Realm was deduced by him at the cost of a massive amount of Malice Points, so there is no need to worry too much about it now.
The legacy of the Skeletal Elder was undeniably substantial.
This is one of the reasons why he wasn't in a hurry to ask Lin Huaijin for the relevant advancement methods.
Of course, if the other party insists on giving it to him, Ye Li won't refuse.
Who knows, we might be able to sell them for money someday.
Moreover, if they don't accept it, it will be difficult to explain later when they advance to the Dao Evolution Realm.
