Chapter 465: Show Some Mercy

"Interesting, do they think I’m going to die? Are they planning to murder me together?"

Yun Ye made a similar judgment, but he had thought up reasons for Team Two members’ actions.

The first half was true.

The second half… was a fabricated reason.

As soon as he said this, the Vice Captain of Water Palace sensed something was off and lightly replied, "Captain, that’s a serious accusation. How could a team member possibly murder their captain?"

"Well, your opinion doesn’t count," Yun Ye said.

Then, he and Shui Wuge walked into the Sacred Department Building.

"…"

The Vice Captain of Water Palace’s lips moved slightly, and he began to lose track of the situation. He reached up to loosen his collar, suddenly feeling the air grow tense.

At that moment, Shui Riyue and her mother, Shui Weibai, arrived.

Shui Weibai glanced around and casually asked, "Where is Shui Changdong? Has he not arrived yet?"

"…He has entered the Sacred Department," the Vice Captain of Water Palace replied after a moment of silence upon hearing this.

"Oh, what was his expression? Was it one of those lightly carefree facades while he was actually grinding his teeth?" Shui Riyue asked curiously.

"Perhaps," the Vice Captain of Water Palace dared not contradict the influential captain. He felt his words weren’t definitive enough and added, "But he said that the members of Team Two want to murder him."

"Ah?"

Both Shui Riyue and Shui Weibai showed surprise and couldn’t help but glance at the Sacred Department Building.

…

The Sacred Department had a total of fifty floors.

The head and deputy head, four captains, and several Vice Captains each occupied one floor.

Additionally, the first ten floors were public areas for Team One, the next ten for Team Two, and so on, with the fiftieth floor being the public area for the entire Sacred Department. The remaining floors were allocated to elite members, ordinary members, and special transmission floors meant for teleportation.

With the significant matter of team captain exchanges, all members of Team Two gathered on the twentieth floor.

And indeed, that was the case.

Everyone in Team Two was bored, drinking tea, munching on snacks, waiting for their captain to show up looking displeased.

"Why hasn’t Shui Changdong arrived yet? Is he timing this just right?"

"Ha, Shui Changdong is so arrogant, daring to offend the entire Sacred Department all at once. What’s wrong with coming in right on time? If he hasn’t shown up, we still have to keep waiting; after all, he is the Son of the King Envoy."

"How interesting. I just don’t understand why he feels so confident. Just because he’s the Son of the King Envoy, he can be so arrogant? There are others as talented as him in the Holy Lineage. Even the King Envoy has no reason to keep catering to him; the Sacred Department doesn’t belong solely to the King Envoy’s family."

"Ultimately, we must adhere to Dongwang laws: soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings. The Minister can summon manpower that is no weaker than the King Envoy’s. It’s not impossible to obliterate Shui Changdong, especially since he is so brazen and extraordinary!"

"Exactly! Isn’t that the point? They’re trying to provoke Shui Changdong. If this Super Genius gets angry, someone among us might end up buried!"

"That indeed could happen, but the benefits could also be tremendous."

"Ha ha, I hope Shui Changdong really dies this time, and it’s not just talk. Last time, he even took down Jin Long, the Vice Captain."

"Don’t worry, I’ve fought with the captain before. Although the title of Vice Captain sounds impressive, he can’t even last a single move against the captain. The gap is immeasurable. In just one month, no matter how talented he is, he won’t catch up."

"True…"

"They’re here!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent and turned to the elevator.

The elevator doors opened.

Two children stepped onto the twentieth floor, their footsteps echoing throughout.

The girl had a cold gaze, suppressing her anger.

As for the boy…

All their pupils shrank.

Yun Ye stepped out and smiled slightly at them, then pulled down a crystal key and turned it in a keyhole only he could see.

"Holy Attire Authorization!"

"Second Armament Restrictions Lifted!"

"Dawn Chasing Darkness—"

"Equip!"

Yun Ye emerged clad in white armor, and the black patterns on his body transformed into a pair of black wings. His aura enveloped the entire space unreservedly. With the eyes of his white armor fixed on everyone, Yun Ye raised his hand and pointed forward, his voice booming after donning his armor.

"After an entire month, everyone, are you ready to face your review?"

(The arrival is not friendly!)

The two Vice Captains of Team Two, Zhu Jianpeng and You Que, felt alarm bells ringing in their hearts and immediately spoke up: "Captain, using Holy Attire in the city, what does this mean?"

"What does the captain want to review?"

"Let me see the death list… oh, the dismissal list."

Yun Ye pretended to ponder dramatically, then sighed, "You’re in trouble. On average, not a single task has been completed in a month."

"With you all slacking off, how can I compete with the other captains? It’s not that I want to take action against you; you’ve really made it difficult for me."

Reflecting Sky Illusion expanded.

In an instant, it locked down all escape routes.

Seeing this scene, Shui Wuge also guessed what Yun Ye intended; she coldly remarked, "A bunch of underlings, lacking awareness of their position!"

"Holy Attire Authorization!"

"Eighth Armament Restrictions Lifted!"

"Watercolor Paradise—"

"Equip!"

With seven-winged blue armor encasing him, Storm swept through, yet nothing on this floor was harmed. The twentieth floor, covered by Reflecting Sky Illusion, formed a cubic space; although it still resembled the twentieth floor, it was merely a projection.

Everyone’s expressions changed!

Zhu Jianpeng and You Que exchanged a glance, both revealing bitter expressions.

It was over!

The harsh reality had laid itself bare.

They were heading towards the worst outcome!

"Everyone, become my power. I will remember you in my heart, and with this strength, I will defeat Vice Captain Shui Weibai. Your sacrifices will be valuable."

Yun Ye clenched his fist and activated the most suitable Extreme Spiritual Law to capture humans.

A mass of white threads spread out, densely extending towards the Foreign Warriors present.

Frost Falls, Growing Cold!

“Qushuang Spiritual Law!”

All the Foreign Warriors were members of the spiritual clans, skilled in Extreme Spiritual Law, and they instantly recognized this well-known Spirit and Water Spiritual Law.

Their hearts grew colder.

This Shui Changdong not only wanted them dead but also intended to control their bodies?

How vicious!

"Don’t counterattack; activate your Spiritual Attire!"

Both Vice Captains shouted in unison and immediately equipped themselves.

With their Spiritual Attire activated, they officially entered the complete state of Vice Captains, unleashing all their abilities to defend against Frost Falls, Growing Cold.

As the Extreme Spiritual Law spread today, they might not have learned every aspect, but they understood its general effects. The terror of Frost Falls, Growing Cold and All Things Silent echoed in their minds, and indeed, some Foreign Warriors present mastered these Spiritual Laws.

The fear of Frost Falls, Growing Cold stemmed from the simultaneous effects of Spirit Law and Water Law, providing top-tier control among dual attributes. Due to the nature of Spirit Law, Frost Falls, Growing Cold could not be blocked by the Five Elements; it had to be countered with Spirit Law or Physical Law, making it one of the hardest Spiritual Laws to master.

If they were eroded by Qushuang’s Spiritual Law, it would be a fate worse than death, forced to watch as their bodies were taken away.

So, they dared not slack for even a moment.

You Que unleashed his Physical Law, completely rejecting the corruption of Qushuang’s Spiritual Law.

Zhu Jianpeng drew the Sword of Golden Fire, enhancing it with Spirit Law: Blade Unleashed, trying to forcefully sever Qushuang’s Spiritual Law.

But this was merely their hopeful vision; as soon as they made contact, their expressions changed. Their strength was effortlessly pierced through, and Qushuang’s Spiritual Law still coiled around their weapons, armor, bodies, and souls, causing their movements to slow.

Boom!

They entered the sublimation state, attempting to break free of the control, but from afar, Yun Ye also raised his power. They felt like puppets under a powerful hand, alone with no one to turn to, completely out of control.

Watching as their inability to control their bodies increased, fear overwhelmed You Que, and he cried out in desperation:

"No! I surrender! I was wrong! Captain! Please show mercy!"
