Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the banquet hall, the atmosphere in a side courtyard was quite tranquil.
The two elderly men, dressed in the robes of prefects, had different expressions; they were the current prefects of Cangwu and Li Huo continents.
At this moment, they all sat obediently below, gazing expectantly at the Boy in Black: "..."
Although I have never had any contact with this new governor.
But the fact that both the highly respected Eldest Princess and the powerful Capital City regarded him as their leader shows that the young man was no ordinary person.
This made the two governors breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that they're not ordinary people. If they were just parasites from Dasheng trying to gain credit, then it would be their turn to have a mental breakdown.
The action of immediately requesting the Mountain River Seal was a bit hasty.
Even these two seasoned veterans, well-versed in such matters, couldn't uncover the cult's whereabouts. How could this newly arrived governor possibly...?
"Found it?"
Just then, Ye Li, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly opened his eyes, and the Eldest Princess beside him quickly asked.
His tone carried a subtle hint of nervousness and anticipation.
The two prefects immediately became anxious and looked over together with Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the second seat.
I guess so.
Ignoring their astonishment, Ye Li tossed the seal back to the two elders and activated the map of the Three Continents in the Jade Slip in front of him.
Even he hadn't expected that the Mountain River Seal of the Grand Prefect of Dasheng would be so useful.
Not only can it greatly enhance one's perception, but it can also travel throughout the entire continent like Yin God emerging from its sheath.
With so many variables combined, the work of reconnaissance and scouts is really effortless.
The only problem was that the perspective was so strange that Ye Li felt a little uncomfortable.
If there were more time to work things out, things would be clearer.
But that's enough.
"I surveyed the lands of the Three Continents. In Cangwu and Li Huo continents combined, there were only five unusual places. Only in the Yunze Continent were there over a hundred cities exhibiting strange fluctuations."
Ye Li's calm voice rang out from inside the room, causing both prefects to suddenly breathe rapidly.
They stared at the marked city outlines, all of which were recently identified as low-risk areas, and exchanged bewildered glances.
Just who is this newly appointed governor?
After examining the Mountain River Seal for less than two hours, they pinpointed the enemy camp's location... In comparison, these two prefects of this continent seemed like useless parasites of the Great Sheng Dynasty!
They patrolled day and night with the Mountain River Seal, but found nothing amiss.
Fortunately, the biggest problem lies within the Yunze Continent.
If we have to say, that Prefect Tang was the bigger parasite who did all the work...
Upon realizing this, the two old men's mood strangely calmed down slightly, carrying a subtle sense of relief that "thankfully, I'm not the most Trouble one," before they turned to look at Ye Li with eager anticipation:
"Lord Ye, are you sure?!"
"As long as the aura you provided is correct," Ye Li nodded succinctly.
The specific personnel arrangements are unclear, but it's not a big deal; he didn't intend to take the initiative this time anyway.
At most, we would need to go to the site in person to investigate the specific situation.
It should be noted that previous crackdowns were incomplete because some criminals managed to escape.
If you don't want your hard-earned Malice Points to slip away, you need to place a Soul Anchor Point in every confirmed city, and then adapt to the situation when the cult attacks.
Otherwise, if they take action on their side, the cult followers in the other cities will likely hear the news and flee.
"So that's how it is..."
Li Huo could finish speaking...
A voice filled with urgency and confusion suddenly rang out. "What is this? What have you found?"
Tang Xiao, the prefect of the Yunze Continent, walked in hurriedly, a hint of relief on his face as if he had completed his mission.
He had come to report that the banquet was ready and invited the esteemed guests to proceed.
But before he could even speak, Tang Xiao noticed that his two colleagues were looking at him with extremely excited eyes, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
He subconsciously looked at Ye Li on the main seat, then at the solemn-faced Eldest Princess and Xiao Yu, and finally his gaze fell on the Yunze Continent map that was floating in the air and covered with light spots.
When Tang Xiao saw the hundreds of glaringly bright dots clearly, all the color drained from his face!
"What's this?"
"There are cities within our territory where the Bone and Blood Cult is hiding!" the governor of Cangwu Prefecture exclaimed excitedly.
Tang Xiao felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he became dizzy.
A surge of immense joy and trepidation welled up within me.
Reducing the Bone and Blood Cult's activity area to this extent right from the start will be of immense help to this encirclement and suppression operation!
Next, as long as these Mountain Gate within the territory agree to assist, the complete eradication of the Bone and Blood Cult will be a foregone conclusion!
But the problem is...
If these Mountain Gate sects are unwilling to cooperate, he and the two envoys from the Capital City alone will likely find it difficult to protect the people of the Yunze Continent Prefecture from harm!
Just as Tang Xiao was lost in thought.
Ye Li had no intention of dwelling on this issue, and went straight to the point, asking:
"Has everyone arrived for the banquet?"
Tang Xiao snapped out of his daze, his tone now filled with sincere respect. "Reporting to you, sir, almost everyone has arrived!"
Let's go.
Ye Li immediately put away the Jade Slip, stood up, and walked out of the mansion. "I'll leave the negotiations to you."
I've been patiently sitting here until now, all for the sake of this group of renowned sect leaders gathered together.
If he could, he would really hope that all those who came would go against his wishes.
Upon hearing this, the three prefects all nodded solemnly.
Tang Xiao slowly clenched her fists.
The young governor from the Capital City has already made great contributions; now it's time for my turn.
There are hundreds of time bombs of unknown origin within the territory. If Yunze Continent wants to survive this calamity safely, it must obtain the assistance of this group!
Soon, all six figures entered the banquet hall.
Countless gazes, each with its own distinct character, were instantly cast upon them.
Ye Li walked calmly through the courtyard, feeling the scrutiny from all directions.
As he took his seat in the main seat with an air of grandeur, this banquet, a matter of life and death for the Three Continents, officially began!
