Chapter 446: Joining the Sacred Department!

The next day, sunlight poured in as Yun Ye opened his eyes and got up from the ground.

Although the side effects of the Evil King Transformation hadn’t faded yet, it was time for him to report and decide which captain to replace.

"If Spirit Sense can grow, can Spirit Law grow as well?"

Yun Ye pondered, and when he looked up, he had already crossed the inner city and arrived at the Sacred Department Building.

The Sacred Department Building was about fifty stories tall.

While it wasn’t especially high, compared to the buildings from the 80s and 90s in the outer city, it stood out significantly.

"Young master!"

"Young master, are you okay?"

Li Xiaoxian and You Guanglin had already arrived. They noticed Yun Ye’s pale complexion and couldn’t help but speculate about what had happened during the trials that could have injured him. Which trial had he actually challenged?

"It’s nothing serious, a few days of rest will fix it," Yun Ye replied.

"Oh, that’s good to hear."

They still hadn’t asked which trial he had faced. If it was the Second or Third Trial, there was room for celebration, but if he had been hurt in the First Trial, it would be awkward. Although the possibility of that was very slim, it was best to avoid mistakes.

"By the way, where do we go next?"

Li Xiaoxian craned her neck to look inside, but the first floor of the building didn’t even have a reception desk, making it hard to take the first step.

Of course, there were people sitting on the sofas on the first floor, chatting.

And they noticed the newcomers.

"Hey, a few newcomers! I recognize them; it’s the head of the family’s eldest son, Shui Changdong. Eight years old!"

"Eight years old? Another big shot arrives?"

"Only the descendants of the head of the family with strong talent are not dealt with. Unfortunately, coming in at eight years used to mean something, but now? Those two twins are too powerful, and even his sister’s Growth Speed exceeds expectations; he won’t have a chance to catch up."

"Indeed, Shui Wuge possesses top-tier sacred blood. She joined the sacred department at five and is close to Vice Captain level in just one year—it’s hard to believe. In a few years, she might become a powerful Foreign Warrior comparable to the twins!"

"Her brother likely isn’t any worse. Joining the sacred department at eight is still a genius among geniuses, and his Growth Speed should nearly rival Shui Wuge’s—too bad, under normal circumstances, every team has its own factions now, and they won’t help a newcomer. He can only join Shui Wuge’s side."

The discussions buzzed on, without any attempt to hide their conversation.

Li Xiaoxian felt a bit uneasy upon hearing this; the situation didn’t sound good!

Meanwhile, You Guanglin remained calm, pretending he hadn’t heard. There was no point in fretting over what he couldn’t change.

Yun Ye looked thoughtful; it seemed he needed to learn more about the situation in the four teams.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A woman in white high-heeled shoes and a light blue long dress walked over. She had wavy blue hair, a sun hat, and a small sword decoration around her neck that sparkled in the sunlight, making her quite eye-catching.

"Young Master Shui Changdong, it’s nice to meet you for the first time. I am Li Xiaoxian’s mother, Li Jianbing. Please allow me to be your mentor," Li Jianbing said with a smile as she greeted him.

"Now I understand, that’s fine." Yun Ye nodded.

"Then let’s go. Everyone is already waiting for you, young master," Li Jianbing said.

"Wait, Mom! Aren’t you in the south? Why did you suddenly come to the inner city?" Li Xiaoxian said in surprise.

You Guanglin silently nodded; indeed, Li Jianbing didn’t have spiritual blood, so theoretically, she shouldn’t be able to enter the sacred department. Was there a special reason for her presence?

"Sharp as always, I am a liaison. The sacred department has undergone reorganization, and competition will be tougher. The elite from the Four Departments of Foreign Warriors will now be allowed to challenge the sacred department to eliminate some lower beings. I’m here to report challenge information from the south and took on this mentoring job as well," Li Jianbing explained.

"Eliminate some lower beings? How did the members of the inner city sacred department become stronger?" Yun Ye asked.

"Hehe…" Li Jianbing chuckled lightly, and the atmosphere suddenly stiffened. "Killing. The weaker opponents from the Four Departments who meet their end will be handed over for execution by the sacred department."

Upon hearing this, both You Guanglin and Li Xiaoxian acted as if they hadn’t heard, as they had long known this and understood it was their mission.

Yun Ye heard this for the first time, but he wasn’t surprised; he had already guessed this situation, just not in such blunt terms.

Li Jianbing noticed Yun Ye’s calm demeanor and couldn’t help but smile.

As expected of the Holy Lineage.

Even without deliberate education, he was still a born killer. It’s just a pity he hadn’t experienced emotional evolution; with the qualifications of the Holy Lineage, strong emotional fluctuations could trigger the Good God transformation. Once mastered, the second time would be as easy as an arm movement.

"Please follow me."

The four entered the building, and the elevator opened. After pressing the button for the 50th floor, they began their ascent to the top.

"Foreign Warriors have both job ranks and honor ranks. At first, everyone is a ninth-level Foreign Warrior, but under normal circumstances, the highest is a first-level Foreign Warrior."

"So, there are also abnormal situations?"

"Yes. While the honor rank is termed as honor, it is even more important than the job rank because it directly relates to personal lifespan. Theoretically, whether one is of the Holy Lineage, spiritual clans, or those lower beings, everyone has an initial lifespan of thirty years. It’s just that the Holy Lineage and spiritual clans can leverage their strength to become Foreign Warriors and quickly gain achievements to raise their honor ranks. For instance, a first-level Foreign Warrior can extend their lifespan up to sixty years."

"And if one becomes a first-level Foreign Warrior while still being of the Holy Lineage, they can further advance to a special honor rank, extending their lifespan to a hundred years. This privilege is exclusive to the Holy Lineage; even if the spiritual clans are strong, they can’t do this, but it poses no limit for the young master."

"Given that, it seems Xiaoxian and the others shouldn’t have a reason to live to a hundred years."

"Hahaha, that’s easy to explain. The tools a master carries can naturally be used for as long as they last, with no reason for forced destruction."

Li Jianbing laughed, knowing how long humans could live and understanding that the deceased ones were merely killed by external forces.

The elevator doors opened.

A wave of gazes fell upon them.

The expansive floor was filled with banquet spaces, showcasing figures dressed in various extravagant and unique styles.

Among all, four individuals shone the brightest, making them impossible to ignore.

Seated in the center of the banquet were two young women.

One wore a stunning red gown, a rose hairpin adorned her black locks, and her vibrant attire contrasted with blood-red lipstick and perfectly blended eye makeup. Though years had passed, Yun Ye instantly recognized her as Shui Qingya—the woman of madness without a hint of elegance.

The other sat across from Shui Qingya, sipping a drink from an unknown glass. She was even more extraordinary, wearing a black-and-white feather long dress that made her appear as if she had black and white wings spread wide. Her eye makeup was also done in black and white…

Even her pupils were!

Shui Riyue, also known as Two Concepts, Yin and Yang, is just a more pleasant name.

She was someone born with the innate talent for Spiritual Law, and though not as terrifying as imagined, her initial mastery of Yin and Yang Spiritual Law would certainly evolve. She was the most anticipated individual from the entire Shui family born to this day.
