25: Chapter 25 The Man Behind the Scenes: The Rats in His House Have Grown Fat!

The nine netherworld bone banner quickly shrank to the size of a palm and submerged into the space between his eyebrows.

The world returned to clarity.

Only the puddles of soulless rotting flesh on the plaza remained.

Reminding everyone of what had just happened.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

Tens of thousands of Heavenly Dao Sect Disciples and Elders did not even dare to breathe heavily at this moment.

They all lowered their heads, their bodies soaked in cold sweat.

Terrified that Qin Yu, this god of slaughter, might get annoyed and collect them as well to make up the numbers.

Qin Yu slowly scanned the entire crowd.

Wherever his gaze landed, everyone wished they could bury their heads into the ground.

Finally, his gaze fell upon Sect Master Zhang, Zhang Heng, of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Sect Master Zhang."

Qin Yu's voice was very soft, but when Zhang Heng heard it, he shuddered in fear.

Thump!

Zhang Heng did not hesitate at all and knelt down directly.

"Emperor... Emperor Son, what are your orders?"

The dignified Sect Master appeared extremely humble at this moment.

"Although I have resolved my personal matters."

"But this Heavenly Dao Sect has been harboring filth for many years, and the atmosphere is not very good."

Qin Yu flicked his fingers and said casually:

"If this gets out, others might think I am one of you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng was so scared his Soul nearly flew out of his body.

Was this going to be the annihilation of the Sect?

"Spare me, Emperor Son! Please see the truth, Emperor Son!"

Zhang Heng kowtowed so hard the sound echoed loudly:

"That was all the fault of that old dog, Xu Guanqing!"

"My Heavenly Dao Sect is loyal to you, Emperor Son, and has no ulterior motives!"

"To express my sincerity, I am willing to offer the Heavenly Dao Sect's treasury, accumulated over ten thousand years."

"Also! Any beautiful female Disciples in the Sect are yours to choose from, Emperor Son!"

"I only ask that you show mercy, Emperor Son, and leave the Heavenly Dao Sect a way to survive!"

Zhang Heng was a ruthless man, but also a smart one.

He knew that in front of an Imperial Clan, dignity was worth nothing.

As long as he could survive, he was willing to lose everything.

Qin Yu heard this and raised an eyebrow slightly.

A treasury?

He didn't think much of most things in the Heavenly Dao Sect.

But if there were any rare items, that would be acceptable.

As for the female Disciples, forget it.

He had just had a big meal and didn't want to eat these common wares again.

His standards were very high!

"Since Sect Master Zhang is so sincere."

"This Young Master will give you a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Qin Yu turned around and sat back on the divine seat, his tone lazy:

"Li Yuan."

Li Yuan, who had been waiting in the corner and watching the whole process, immediately rolled over.

"This servant is here!"

Li Yuan knelt at Qin Yu's feet, his face full of sycophancy.

He had witnessed this master's methods with his own eyes—ruthless and decisive.

This was the master worth following!

Following someone like this, let alone the Heavenly Emperor Alliance.

Even in the myriad worlds, one could walk sideways!

"Go."

Qin Yu tossed out a storage ring:

"Follow Sect Master Zhang and inventory the Heavenly Dao Sect's treasury."

"Remember, This Young Master only wants the premium items."

"If any trash gets mixed in, your life will..."

"Yes!"

Li Yuan excitedly took the ring and stood up with his head held high.

He turned to look at Zhang Heng, the sycophantic look from before instantly vanishing.

Replaced by an arrogant expression:

"Sect Master Zhang, shall we?"

This was the joy of a dog relying on its master's power.

Zhang Heng felt bitter inside, but still had to maintain a smiling face:

"Please, Lord Li, please!"

Subsequently, Qin Yu had Grand Elder Qin Wuya take action.

To wipe out Xu Guanqing's ten clans completely.

Which could be considered fulfilling the original oath.

After doing all this.

Qin Yu rubbed his brow, suddenly feeling a bit bored.

The matter of the Heavenly Dao Sect was considered settled.

The background had already been displayed.

The Child of Destiny had been refined, and even the girl had been taken.

It was time to go back.

Qin Yu looked up into the depths of the sky.

That was the direction of the Qin Family in Taihuang Heaven.

Just now.

By refining Xiao Fan and the others, he had also obtained a lot of information.

"I wonder if that idiot at home has wet his pants in fear yet?"

The idiot in Qin Yu's mouth.

Was naturally that good cousin of his who colluded with foreign enemies and plotted against him—Qin Chuan.

"Don't worry, cousin will be back to dote on you soon."

Li Yuan handled things quickly.

Before long, he was holding a storage ring in both hands.

Crawling on his knees to the bottom of the steps.

Behind him, Zhang Heng bowed his body, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Emperor Son!"

Li Yuan held the storage ring high, his voice trembling slightly.

"This lowly servant has fulfilled the mission and has finished inventorying the Heavenly Dao Sect's assets accumulated over these ten thousand years."

"The miscellaneous items have been removed, and all the remaining treasures are in this ring."

"Inside, there are ten million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, three hundred Saint Herbs, eight thousand catties of rare Divine Gold, and..."

"Stop."

Qin Yu interrupted him, uninterested.

He hooked his finger, and the storage ring flew into his hand.

He scanned it casually with his Divine Sense.

Trash.

All of it was trash.

Except for those few pieces of Divine Gold that could be used to feed the heaven measuring ruler.

The other things were not worth mentioning to an Imperial Clan.

But this was the Heavenly Dao Sect, after all.

Just a second-rate Sect.

To be able to scrape this much together.

This old man probably pried up the floor tiles of the Heavenly Dao Sect's main hall.

"Well done."

Qin Yu put away the storage ring casually, with no intention of giving any reward.

Zhang Heng, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that he accepted it.

As long as he was willing to accept it, his life was temporarily saved.

"Emperor Son, besides these things, this servant has another unexpected discovery."

Li Yuan did not retreat; instead, he crawled forward two steps and lowered his voice.

"Oh?"

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and took a sip of wine.

Li Yuan took out a broken black Jade Slip from his bosom.

Although the Jade Slip was broken.

It still emitted a cold, chilling aura.

"This was found in the room of that bitch, Xiao Wanrou."

Li Yuan carefully held the Jade Slip, his eyes revealing a sense of shrewdness.

"This servant previously managed intelligence in the Heaven Suppressing Hall of the Imperial Alliance."

"If I am not mistaken, the encrypted inscriptions on this."

"Are Shadow Scripts used by great families in the Upper Realm specifically to evade detection by the main family."

"This kind of Shadow Script is very profound and definitely not something someone like Xiao Wanrou could master."

The playful look in Qin Yu's eyes grew stronger.

"Continue."

Encouraged, Li Yuan's courage grew a bit.

"This servant dared to decipher the remaining bit of Divine Thought inside."

"The content is very simple, only four characters."

"Coordinates set."

Boom!

Once these four characters were out, things took a turn for the worse.

Coordinates set?

Whose coordinates were set?

Of course, it was the coordinates of his, Qin Yu's, Dao Protector!

Xiao Wanrou was a person from a second-rate Sect.

How could she possibly know the Emperor Son's whereabouts?

And even dare to plot against the Emperor Son's Dao Protector?

Unless someone was directing her and using her from behind the scenes.

And she, in turn, passed the information to Xu Guanqing.

The two of them then coordinated with the person behind the scenes to implement the plan.

Qin Yu toyed with the broken Jade Slip.

His fingertips lightly brushed over the inscriptions on it.

He remembered his childhood.

That cousin who was usually respectful to him.

But whose eyes were always gloomy—Qin Chuan.

The Dao Protector's whereabouts were top secret.

Apart from his parents and sister, those who could know core intelligence.

Were only those few old fellows from the branch lineages.

This information.

Matched perfectly with the information he had previously obtained from Xiao Fan and the others.

"A bit interesting."

A cold arc curled up on the corners of Qin Yu's lips.

"It seems the rats at home are even fatter than I imagined."
