43: Where can you find something this good? The Empress's Wrath!!!

The Twelve Orthodox Sects and the Eight Heretical Paths!

These Sects are famous in the Great Qi Dynasty!

Shen Tianxing had naturally heard of them.

"It seems this upheaval is quite significant!"

"Planning such a large-scale disturbance, releasing these extremely wicked individuals, what exactly is their intention..."

Even the Righteous Path has its scoundrels, and the Evil Path is even more troublesome!

These prisoners were arrested because they had committed great crimes, destined for death. Now that they have escaped, they must harbor deep resentment. For the people of the Great Qi Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe!

No wonder the first group of people dispatched by the Demon and Monster Division has not sent back any news for so long.

A Zizai Realm Master is already an Elder-level figure in a Sect. How could they be so easy to deal with?

What Ye Qingyu is describing is probably just the tip of the iceberg!

How many Zizai Realm Masters are there? Are there even stronger Carefree Realm Masters?

These are all unknowns.

"Staying put is not necessarily a bad thing."

Shen Tianxing poured her a cup of wine, "You don't need to be anxious. If the situation truly becomes severe, it won't just be your Demon and Monster Division taking action."

"The Great Qi Dynasty has many Masters; I imagine Your Majesty will have arrangements."

Shen Tianxing had heard of the current Empress's boldness.

She was someone who tolerated no impurities!

Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators, martial arts Cultivators—which one of them wasn't suppressed by her to the point of being unable to raise their head?

Her methods were evident!

"You're right."

Ye Qingyu smiled, raising her cup to him, her cold and beautiful eyes filled with anticipation, "You... really don't plan to come to the Demon and Monster Division?"

Shen Tianxing's progress in strength was too fast. For such a Cultivation Genius not to be utilized by the Demon and Monster Division was truly a waste of talent.

Ye Qingyu was a little unwilling to give up.

Shen Tianxing smiled and shook his head.

There are always treacherous people trying to harm me!

He was a punishment master, born to be an Executioner. Going to the Demon and Monster Division would be a misnomer!

Isn't it good for me to be in the Purgatory Division?

Every day, besides Cultivating, I don't need to run around like the Demon and Monster Division; it's leisurely.

Normally, I just chop off heads, gain experience points, and my Cultivation Realm can Breakthrough at any time!

Where can I find such a good thing?

Going to the Demon and Monster Division is impossible; it's impossible in this lifetime!

Seeing Shen Tianxing's expression, Ye Qingyu knew his answer.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking wine and eating dishes... time passed day by day.

Ten days later!

Great Qi Imperial City, curfew!!!

When night fell, all people living in the Imperial City were forbidden to go out!

"Alas, I don't know when the blocked roads will open. I'm still waiting to return to the Yan Yang Imperial Dynasty."

"I also need to rush to the Southern Buddha Dynasty. This shipment is my life's fortune!"

"Why are you still going? I heard that the Great Qi Dynasty's chaos is severe, with Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators rampant, and even Heretical Path Cultivators have come out to cause trouble!"

"Ah! Is it that serious? No wonder the Empress of Great Qi has blockaded the main roads of the Imperial Dynasty; it seems she is about to make a move."

"Who knows? What an unexpected disaster!"

The Imperial City was safe, but people's hearts were restless.

Imperial City Guard patrols were everywhere, visible at every turn!

Although there were no traces of Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators within the Imperial City, many suspicious key criminals were arrested... Night fell!

The starry sky cascaded down, illuminating the entire Imperial City.

On the streets, apart from the barking of domestic dogs, there was no sound.

Within the Great Qi Imperial City, atop a towering nine-story pagoda, a graceful and voluptuous figure stood at the top, gazing at the stars and moon.

She wore a seven-star Daoist robe, her hair tied up, and in her profound, abyss-like eyes, starlight flickered as her slender fingers moved rapidly.

Her entire body exuded a wondrous Dao charm that merged with heaven and earth, communicating with the celestial stars. Treasure light shimmered around her, like a bright pearl corresponding to the distant starlight.

Hoo... A moment later, Xing Yao slowly retracted her hand seals, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.

"Demon and Monster chaos, a great demon descending upon the world, it is indeed extraordinary!"

As the Chief Director of the Qimen Division, Xing Yao bore a heavy responsibility. Her most important task was to deduce the Imperial Dynasty's Luck and avert misfortune.

In the past, nothing had ever made her this solemn, but this time, her Dao Heart was subtly trembling.

"Even you can't find a clue?"

At this moment, a clear yet noble voice, tinged with a hint of dominance, sounded from behind her.

Xing Yao's eyes flickered. She turned and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Light flickered, and a fragrant breeze wafted, as the Empress's figure appeared atop the high pagoda.

In a snow-white long dress that could not conceal her perfect curves, with her hands clasped behind her back, her incomparably beautiful face was placid, yet her entire being exuded an aura of dominance and nobility!

The Empress, Yan Yuzhu, had arrived!

"Your Majesty, aren't you resting so late?"

"How can I sleep at a time like this? Tell me, have you deduced the origins of the great Sect behind them?"

The Empress stepped forward and asked her.

She couldn't possibly be unaware that various major cities throughout the Great Qi Dynasty had suffered attacks from Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators, resulting in considerable losses.

According to her temperament, she should have long since dispatched Masters to suppress them.

However, after Xing Yao's deductions, she discovered something unusual, which is why Yan Yuzhu had endured until now.

Xing Yao frowned, her thoughts heavy, and she shook her head slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, the combined forces this time are not simple. From my deduction of the traces, I only know that behind these Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators, there is an extraordinary hidden great Sect about to emerge."

"However, I cannot see its true appearance. Other Imperial Dynasties are probably in the same situation."

"Even you can't deduce it?"

Yan Yuzhu nodded, but on her exquisitely beautiful face, there was not a trace of fear; instead, it carried a light that defied heaven and earth.

"I have been to the Yan Yang Imperial Dynasty, the Southern Buddha Dynasty, and the Great Stone Dynasty, and met with their Imperial Lords. The Star Officials within each Imperial Dynasty have also made their deductions."

"The results are exactly the same as what you've seen!"

"The calamities suffered by all parties are no less than ours, and all major Imperial Dynasties also attach great importance to this."

"I'd like to see what the purpose of this hidden great Sect is? Disregarding human lives, treating all beings as ants—what audacity!"

When an Emperor is enraged, corpses float for a thousand miles!

As the Empress, Yan Yuzhu's methods and Heart-Nature were no less than anyone else's!

In the past, after court, she still had a bit of a girlish demeanor, but now she fully displayed the dominance a female Emperor should possess!

"What does Your Majesty intend to do?"

Xing Yao knew that since the Empress had made up her mind, she must have already made a decision. Nothing else mattered.

As a subordinate, one only needed to obey orders and act accordingly.

Yan Yuzhu looked up at the sky, her bright eyes like the moon, profound as an abyss, as if nothing in the world could escape her gaze.

"Issue the decree!"

"Order the five armies—Demon Extermination, Monster Slaying, Bai Tu, Black Fiend, and Eight Directions Dragon Suppression—to depart immediately and suppress the chaos!"

"Order the Zhenwu, Demon and Monster, and Qimen Three Departments to cooperate in the operation!"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!!!"
