105: Chapter 15 The Underworld Immortal Clan.

Xue Prefecture Patrol Hall, Main Hall.

"Inspector Liu, now that the Tianjun God has come to Xue Prefecture, our... matters won't run into any problems, right?" A subordinate looked towards Inspector Liu on the main seat and spoke.

The main seat of the great hall was completely filled by a bloated body. Fat, like rotten cotton wadding, was piled in layers, making the spacious jade seat appear narrow and cramped.

He half-slumped in the chair, his back sinking into the soft cushion, his massive belly straining against the brocade robe and sagging with a heavy curve. His arms rested casually on the armrests.

His face was slick with grease, the sides of his nostrils caked with oily grime. The slits of his eyes were squeezed into squints by the fat on his face. A greasy, fishy stench emanating from his very flesh mixed with the hall's incense, creating a foul odor...

Liu Yong shifted his bulky body, his fingers forming a lazy orchid shape. "What's there to fear? If the sky falls, the Ming Clan of Immortals will hold it up. Behind the Ming Clan of Immortals is the Heavenly Revelation God backing them. Although Han Xiao is a Tianjun God, in today's Kaiyang Divine Territory, he doesn't carry the same weight as the Heavenly Revelation God..."

Nowadays, almost everyone in the entire Kaiyang Divine Territory who is interested in godly gossip knows that befriending the God of Heavenly Light early is the true path to power.

Stubborn factions like the Tianjun God will be phased out sooner or later.

"See? What did I tell you? He just scurried off like that..." Liu Yong said smugly, the folds of fat on his cheeks wriggling as he spoke...

The Tianjun God had left. Not concealing a shred of his divine aura in the slightest, the entire Patrol Hall could sense the Tianjun God's departure. It was more like he was intentionally spreading his aura, as if afraid Xue Prefecture wouldn't know he had left...

"Inspector Liu seems quite concerned about our Ming Clan?" A young voice drifted in eerily from outside the hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Liu Yong nearly tumbled from the main seat.

His face a mask of terror, he scrambled and crawled to the hall entrance, dropping to his knees with a thud.

"This lowly one, Liu Yong, did not know the Young Master was gracing us with your presence. I failed to welcome you properly. I beg for the Young Master's forgiveness."

After speaking, he dared not even breathe heavily, pressing his forehead tightly against the carpet.

Before becoming gods, most deities would have had clans and affiliated factions. As the saying goes, when one man attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. After a deity ascends to godhood, his original faction and clan collectively acquire a new designation.

Immortal Clan!

Descendants born into a deity's Immortal Clan carry a trace of divine power within their bloodline from birth, allowing them to cultivate at a much faster pace than ordinary peers.

Moreover, their status is significantly elevated, becoming figures second only to one person and above ten thousand others on almost an entire continent.

Some deity clans even possess vast influence, existing not only on the continent ruled by their deity but also on other continents...

Even a branch family, within a first-tier continent like this, is a force capable of overturning clouds and rain.

The person before him was precisely the eldest son of the Ming Clan's branch family.

Ming Yu.

He was also the ruler of Xue Prefecture.

"Get up. With all that lard on you, even if you were exiled, you probably wouldn't die for ten days to half a month. Not much to see."

Ming Yu stepped directly over Liu Yong and entered the hall. Originally intending for the main seat, he caught a whiff of a sticky, fishy stench and instantly frowned, taking a seat on the adjacent deputy's seat instead.

Only then did Liu Yong let out a sigh of relief. With the help of his subordinates, he shakily rose to his feet.

He stood there dumbly, his expression one of lingering shock.

One must know that this Ming Yu was Xue Prefecture's notorious living King of Hell. This newly adult youth was even more perverse than some old monsters who had lived for centuries.

It was precisely due to his meticulous planning that Xue Prefecture had become the new "Slave Execution Ground."

Because of this, Xue Prefecture periodically hosted grand massacre spectacles!

Hundreds of criminal slaves would be thrown into beast-fighting cages, with the promise of freedom for the one who killed the most. Then, the last survivors would be sent to the extreme cold of the Extreme Cold Snowfield for execution!

The goal wasn't simply to kill, but to capture the slaves' death throes and subject them to continuous torment!

Every time, it earned him a fortune.

If there weren't enough criminal slaves, they would just fabricate charges and forcibly arrest ordinary people without backing...

"A friend of mine is coming tomorrow. Go prepare. This time, we need at least three hundred slaves," Ming Yu said flatly.

"Three hundred... The person the Young Master is meeting this time must be extraordinary indeed," Liu Yong fawned from the side.

"Naturally. She is from the Ling Clan Immortal Family of the Zhu Tian Continent. If this business deal goes through, I might even become an Attendant God Envoy to the Zhu Tian Divine Spirit Jun in the future..."

"Since you are a descendant of the Heavenly Revelation God, why would you want to become an Attendant God Envoy to that Spirit Jun?" Liu Yong asked, puzzled.

"Heh, my great-grandfather is now advanced in years, stuck at the Star Radiance Initial Realm for two hundred years without a breakthrough. He himself can't even possess an independent divine palace within the Kaiyang Divine Palace. What future is there in being his Attendant God Envoy?

Better to form a marriage alliance with that Ling Clan Immortal Family. If I can become an Attendant God Envoy to a Star Radiance Late Stage deity, I'll inevitably stand at the very peak of Kaiyang in the future!" A faint smile played on Ming Yu's lips.

Just thinking about that little beauty from the Ling Clan Immortal Family soonobediently (docilely) falling into his embrace made him grin from ear to ear. Seeing the pig-headed Liu Yong before him, his anger flared again, and he sneered coldly:

"Hurry up and go! If the final headcount falls short, I'll make up the difference with your entire family!"

"I'm going, I'm going right now..."

Liu Yong hastily threw on his sable coat and hurried out of the Patrol Hall courtyard...

...

Chu Ran walked along the snowy path. Along the way, he had seen many people, but their eyes held no light, only numbness and hatred...

When he asked them about the Patrol Hall, most would hem and haw, unwilling to speak, their eyes filled with fear and terror. At best, they could only point Chu Ran in a general direction.

No more sounds of the Soul God's Listening rang in Chu Ran's ears...

The people here seemed to have long lost faith in the gods...

Unconsciously, he arrived at the entrance of the Patrol Hall.

Indeed, there were two ice lanterns flanking the hall doors.

They were just ordinary ice lanterns, not particularly aesthetic in the slightest.

The hall doors suddenly opened.

A man with a fat head and big ears walked out. He kept glancing back into the hall, as if afraid something might chase him...

Chu Ran saw this corpulent man. At first, he intended to step forward and inquire, but when the man appeared about thirty meters in front of him, a piece of information suddenly surfaced in his mind.

[Criminal: Liu Yong.]

[Sin Value: Two thousand points.]

[Crimes: ...]

[Execution Reward: One hundred and twenty thousand Evolution Points.]

...

Chu Ran tapped to view the other party's crimes.

The moment he saw them clearly, a flash of pure killing intent passed through his eyes.

"You are exiled!"

Chu Ran looked up at the man who was speaking.

"You stepped on the Sacred Snow beside the Sacred Lantern, violating Xue Prefecture law. You are exiled!" Liu Yong said arrogantly.

"Alright."

As soon as Chu Ran's words fell.

Boom!

Liu Yong's head exploded like a leather ball, brain matter splattering everywhere...

[Ding!]

[Execution completed.]

...
