26: He has absolutely no qualms about poaching talent, a truly unethical act.

“Is this guy really that individualistic?”

“With strength, naturally comes individuality!”

“That one strike was truly stunning!”

“It’s such a shame that such a powerful individual is just an Executioner!”

“So young, yet already so astonishingly powerful. Compared to him, I feel like all my Cultivation over the years has been for naught.”

Watching Shen Tianxing’s figure disappear from sight, both the people around Ye Qingyu and Ling Feiyang shook their heads and sighed.

“Centurion Ye, a Vajra Realm ghost Cultivator, I’m sure you wouldn’t be interested. Don’t forget to report his meritorious deed, or else our Martial Suppression Division brothers won’t agree.”

Ling Feiyang looked at Ye Qingyu, his face wreathed in smiles. To an outsider, it would seem as if someone from the Martial Suppression Division had performed a great service.

Ye Qingyu was no pushover. She cast a cold, beautiful glance at him.

“Don’t even think about him, or you’ll face the consequences!”

Shen Tianxing was someone Ye Qingyu had her eye on, and she was determined to find a way to bring him into the Demon and Monster Division.

Ling Feiyang clearly had the same idea.

Ye Qingyu would not back down. If anyone dared to snatch her person, she would make them regret it!

After speaking, leaving Ling Feiyang with an innocent expression, Ye Qingyu had someone take Mu Xiao, who was feigning death on the ground, and then directly headed back home.

“A fine ‘face the consequences’ indeed!”

“Is it amazing to have a hot-tempered Master? Our Martial Suppression Division isn’t to be trifled with either!”

“Just you wait and see!”

Ling Feiyang muttered softly.

And indeed, having a hot-tempered Master truly was amazing!

At least it gave one a strong backbone!

They could walk anywhere with their head held high.

“No, this matter must be reported to the Chief Director!”

Ling Feiyang thought for a moment, then stopped his patrol and headed directly towards the Martial Suppression Division’s yamen... The Demon and Monster Division!

It was located in the most prosperous central area of the Imperial City.

It was very close to the Imperial Palace, practically right next to it. The surrounding area was either the yamens of various ministries or the residences of imperial relatives and nobles, forming a circular protective barrier around the Imperial Palace!

After entrusting the patrol mission to others, Ye Qingyu directly returned to the Demon and Monster Division with Mu Xiao.

All the demons and ghost Cultivators they apprehended were first brought back to the Demon and Monster Division. After interrogation, those deemed valuable were kept and sent to the Qimen Division for further exploitation. Those without value were directly thrown into the Purgatory Division until they lost all value, then sentenced and executed!

Ye Qingyu returned early because she wanted to report the events of the night to the Demon Suppressing Envoy!

Passing through a series of halls, Ye Qingyu arrived before a grand hall.

This was the Demon Suppressing Envoy’s office.

Outside the grand hall, four junior officers responsible for guarding the Demon Suppressing Envoy, seeing Ye Qingyu arrive, quickly bowed in salute.

“Greetings, Centurion!”

Ye Qingyu nodded slightly and, without waiting for them to announce her, strode into the grand hall with her long legs.

These junior officers dared not stop her. They exchanged glances, acting as if nothing had happened, keeping their eyes straight ahead, and continuing their duties.

This scene was all too familiar.

For the entire Demon and Monster Division, this was the most important place. Who would dare to enter without announcement?

Only Ye Qingyu!

The Demon Suppressing Envoy inside had an extraordinary relationship with Ye Qingyu.

They were from the same Master, both Disciples of the Chief Director, and both doted on Ye Qingyu.

Others could not enter casually, but Ye Qingyu could... “Oh? Junior Sister, you’re here. Weren’t you patrolling the Imperial City tonight? Why do you have time to visit your Senior Brother?”

Inside the grand hall, a burly middle-aged man with robust Qi and blood, seeing Ye Qingyu, quickly rose from his seat.

The Demon Suppressing Envoy, Gui Bufan!

“Senior Brother, I have an urgent matter to report!”

Ye Qingyu was not polite; she sat down and spoke directly.

“Caused trouble again? Who did you beat up this time?”

Seeing the serious look in Ye Qingyu’s cold, beautiful eyes, Gui Bufan put down his brush, without the slightest surprise. He waved his hand, nonchalantly saying, “Don’t worry, just tell Senior Brother directly. Even if you beat up one of those princes, Senior Brother will back you up.”

“Is it the Seventh Prince? No, that doesn’t seem right; he seems to be in seclusion recently, apparently trying to break through to the Carefree Realm. I can’t remember clearly, but he was reprimanded by Master a while ago and hasn’t dared to leave his home, so it shouldn’t be him.”

“Is it the Fourth Prince? That shouldn’t be it either; three months ago, Senior Brother knocked out all his teeth, so he shouldn’t have the guts.”

“Could it be the Eleventh Prince...”

Ye Qingyu was the youngest Junior Sister in their sect, deeply loved by Master.

Not only was her Aptitude exceptional, but her cold and beautiful demeanor, stunning looks, and almost perfect, flawless figure were all goddess-level, captivating countless people.

This also meant Ye Qingyu often got into a lot of trouble.

Of course, it was always Ye Qingyu beating others up!

No matter their status, Ye Qingyu never held back.

Although she caused quite a bit of trouble, her Senior Brothers never hesitated; they would never let anyone bully her.

“...”

Watching her Senior Brother list them one by one, Ye Qingyu’s face darkened.

Was she really that much of a troublemaker?

Ye Qingyu shook her head, helplessly interrupting, “Senior Brother, please let me finish...”

“Ah? Oh, oh, you speak, you speak, Senior Brother is listening.”

“The situation is like this: tonight I was leading people on patrol in the Imperial City...”

Then, Ye Qingyu meticulously recounted everything that had happened that night.

She described in extreme detail the moment she personally witnessed Shen Tianxing make his move.

Gui Bufan was able to hold the position of Demon Suppressing Envoy not only due to his astonishing Cultivation strength but also because his intellect and strategy were far from being undeserved... “Tsk tsk tsk... What a young man! To possess such strength at such a young age, and his blade Dao mastery is even at the pinnacle. This Aptitude is truly extraordinary!”

Gui Bufan stroked his rugged beard, chuckling strangely, “Such a person, yet he only holds a minor Judicial Officer position in the Purgatory Division?”

“Qin Zhanfeng, ah, Qin Zhanfeng, for all the years you’ve been the Prison Envoy, you actually had a moment of misjudgment. This time, I won’t be polite with you, hahaha...”

He and Qin Zhanfeng had known each other for decades. Although their friendship was excellent, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever in doing something as unethical as poaching someone.

If such a Genius wasn’t brought into the Demon and Monster Division, that would be a huge loss for the Demon and Monster Division!

“Senior Brother, we definitely want him, but we also need to see his intentions.”

“Also, people from the Martial Suppression Division are also interested in him.”

Gui Bufan threw his head back and laughed loudly, “Dare to snatch someone from us? Can those guys from the Martial Suppression Division really out-compete our Demon and Monster Division?”

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister!”

“I’m certain that Shen Tianxing is not highly regarded in the Purgatory Division right now; otherwise, he wouldn’t just be a minor Prison Judicial Officer.”

“He performed a great service tonight. Tomorrow, you will represent our Demon and Monster Division and go there to deliver the reward, and then sound out his attitude.”

“As for the Purgatory Division’s willingness to release him, leave it to Senior Brother. If all else fails, Master is still there.”

Gui Bufan spoke with great confidence, not putting the people of the Purgatory Division in his eyes at all.

Clearly, this was not the first time he had done something like this.

“Then I’ll go personally tomorrow, and I’ll leave this matter to Senior Brother.”

With Gui Bufan’s words, Ye Qingyu felt much more at ease... At this moment.

The same scene was also unfolding in the Martial Suppression Division.

Only Shen Tianxing, the person involved, began to Cultivate as soon as he returned home, completely unaware that he had been targeted by both Divisions.
