Chapter 466: The Great Cleansing

"Stop talking so much. I didn’t decide on a whim that begging for mercy would save you," Yun Ye slightly shook his head.

Beside him, Shui Wuge clasped her hands together, activating her Holy Attire, and a mirage enveloped everyone, completely shattering their last bit of resistance.

A few seconds later, out of the fifty-eight people present, all had their Spiritual Attire deactivated, standing motionless with dazed expressions.

Yun Ye casually selected eight needed physical bodies.

Everyone in the spiritual clans nearly mastered dual Spiritual Laws, so with so many people to choose from, it was impossible not to find the eight dual attributes he required.

"Elder Brother, are you planning to wipe them all out?" Shui Wuge asked.

"Hunting disaster beasts brings only slight benefits, but to truly handle the captains, I’ll need to sacrifice their lives as a price."

"So, we only need to keep a few ordinary members."

With a wave of his hand, fifty out of the fifty-eight people lost their life force.

At the same time, his power began to rise exponentially.

Training in the Three Great Methods follows natural laws, allowing for no unlimited improvement; the body cannot bear the energy surged up all at once.

But the Foreign Warriors are different; hunting can strengthen the body without limits, even allowing physical strength to bear magical energy.

Yun Ye eliminating fifty people caused his spiritual realm-level body, soul, and spirit energy to surge all the way to law realms.

He even felt that he no longer needed any objects of support or precious medicines; just by operating the three evolution techniques, he could awaken the hidden spiritual genes and advance to the law realms, entering a semi-permanent Evil Spirit God form. If that were the case, he truly would be able to slay gods and buddhas alike.

The surge of power was immense, but Yun Ye controlled it easily, showing no signs of an abnormal phenomenon.

After a while, Shui Wuge finally reacted and said, "Elder Brother, is it over?"

"Yes."

—Outfit deactivated!

Yun Ye’s Holy Attire transformed into a key, hanging casually at his waist as he dispelled the spatial barrier.

"I didn’t expect you planned to annihilate Team Two from the start to gain power. No wonder you’ve been provoking them all along…"

"And while it takes me some time to adapt to the surge of power just by killing disaster beasts, you didn’t need that at all."

"Now, the Four Captains probably don’t stand a chance anymore; even if they resort to some schemes, they are entirely meaningless—the gap has completely reversed."

Shui Wuge’s expression was complex as she also released her Holy Attire.

The world is so treacherous!

Her older brother was too ruthless, quietly setting the tone for annihilation.

"They’re indeed not to be feared, but my goal has never been the Four Captains," Yun Ye clenched his fist, a flash of five-colored energy flickered past.

Thinking carefully about his journey, he realized he hadn’t encountered any schemes, and everything seemed simple and unadorned.

But…

The simpler it is, the more terrifying it becomes.

Some countries are built after countless schemes and betrayals, while some dynasties are established simply by continuous city slaughter.

When power crushes everything, no scheme can be of any use.

If one has to resort to tactics, it shows a lack of absolute power and confidence; even if victory seems possible, the losses could be heavy.

During the Baishi Town era and the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect era, knowledge was strictly controlled, but resource management was rather lax.

Baishi Town didn’t even have an inspection organization, like the Jinyiwei.

There were real reasons for this.

A single judge could suppress everything; when there was commotion, the judge’s Spirit Sense would detect it and eliminate the threat without a trace of disturbance.

Although the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect had various functional divisions, they generally adopted a hands-off attitude toward the major Spirit Towns, only compulsorily drafting some heirs of the heads of families and gathering local resources. Essentially, they didn’t care about what was happening in those places.

As the saying goes, even if a cultivator breaks through to the Mystic Realm locally, so what? Without super spirit veins, their journey to the Mystic Realm would end there. If they caused trouble, many people could suppress them; if they didn’t want to bother, they could use a Dao artifact to eliminate the threat instantly. In any case, super spirit veins could unleash the power of real beings, posing no risk whatsoever.

In this situation, both Baishi Town and the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect had very lax internal member reviews; they imposed no restrictions and did not send people to monitor loyalty.

There was completely no need—who could escape?

Even a Super Genius couldn’t!

Could they be on guard against someone as exceptional as Yun Ye, who was born knowing everything?

That would be excessive, wasting time and energy!

But Dongwang City was different. The spirit veins were drained, knowledge was completely sealed off, showing a fear of the lower classes rising up.

What does this reflect?

Is Dongwang very wise?

Or perhaps, he is weak?

If it’s the latter, then they are lucky.

"Fate A+, all derived from the bloodline of true beings. Although this is already within my possibilities, it can also be viewed as part of my fortune."

"However, it pales in comparison to extreme fortune enhancement. Could Dongwang be that existence of Fate EX level?"

Yun Ye yawned and put away the dead bodies—all useful materials; Qushuang’s Spiritual Law could work with the living or the dead.

As for the only eight survivors, Yun Ye waved his hand and dispelled his control over their bodies. The eight all turned pale and suddenly knelt down, begging for mercy.

"The battle is about to begin; follow us."

Yun Ye and Shui Wuge jumped out of the window.

All the windows here were floor-to-ceiling, designed for cultivators to move quickly. Only ordinary beings needed elevators to carry out their regular work.

The surviving eight knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Their fear lingered and did not dissipate.

As servants, they once again tasted despair, realizing their origins and weakness left them unable to control their own destinies.

So many core members of the spiritual clans had been wiped out at the command of a Holy Lineage younger generation, and many of them were even Holy Lineage members!

After this massacre, they realized again that in Dongwang City, every step taken puts those at the top in complete control of everything.

Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings, the premise for all this is that they do not belong to the same team…

"Thinking about it carefully, they acted arrogantly without limits."

"In front of a captain who holds the power of life and death, they still dared to jump around and provoke. If they don’t die, who will?"

"Hehe…"

Someone laughed bitterly; the surviving ones were mere ordinary members, completely unable to participate in elite member or Vice Captain decisions.

They were just a hair’s breadth from dying in confusion!

"Shut up! We can’t provoke Shui Changdong. What about Shui Weibai, Shui Qingya, or Shui Riyue? Which of those names wouldn’t lead us to an unmarked grave?"

Someone lost control, biting their teeth in anger.

"This is reality; we are nothing but kindling, even subpar kindling. Only the Four Captains can be considered quality!"

Most people had become accustomed to it, unable to refrain from mocking.

"Stop talking; we are just servants. Life and death are decided by fate, and we have no room for choices—only the option for a less terrible outcome."

"Who could have thought that when Shui Changdong said he was seriously injured, it was all a disguise? Who could imagine it would be to this crazed extent?"

"Let’s go; if we wait any longer, the time will really come."

"…"

The eight silently fixed their appearances and jumped down.

With their strength, they could easily traverse the air using the Extreme Spiritual Law; the height was nothing for them.

Once they landed, the area fell silent, and they instinctively held their breath, not daring to speak.

Ahead of them, two figures faced off, the atmosphere tense, needles against the tip of a needle.

It was Shui Weibai and Yun Ye.
