The Iron Fist of Justice from the Holy Land of Tai Xuan

Yin Hong wore a playful smile, wanting to see the despairing look on the other's face when he was at a loss.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yuan's expression remained as calm as usual, and he said indifferently:

"In terms of playing dirty tricks, you are indeed slightly better than your cousin. You even know how to use the convenience of your status to harm people in secret, rather than directly taking the field yourself."

"It is just a pity that you are still a bit stupid. I just obtained first place in the Outer Sect Grand Competition, and even the Sect Head has a deep impression of me. If something were to happen while I am executing my first Inner Sect mission, the Sect would definitely investigate strictly."

"Once they investigate, they will be able to discover that the difficulty of the mission you issued to me is incorrect. Although you will certainly have excuses to brush it off, as long as you are suspected, you can forget about sitting in this important position."

Hearing this, Yin Hong's expression changed slightly, and then it instantly sank. "Qi Da, I don't understand what you are talking about. If you feel that I am harming you, you are welcome to report it to the Elder of the Merit Assessment Pavilion."

Although he was gnashing his teeth on the surface, Qi Yuan's words still made him panic inside. Originally, this scheme against the other party was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he wanted to use his authority to eliminate this eyesore, but he didn't expect that he would leave so many flaws.

He was very clear that the situation the other party mentioned was highly likely to happen.

The other party was currently in the limelight. If something happened at this time, the intensity of the investigation would certainly be different.

According to common sense, the mission in Puzhou City should actually be assigned to a Foundation Establishment Realm Disciple of the Sect. Now that he had let a Qi Refining sixth-layer Disciple go do it, even if it did not violate the rules, it would ultimately be considered inappropriate.

Coupled with the fact that he had a kinship with the already deceased Wang Luchuan, and the grudge between Wang Luchuan and the other party was known to everyone in the Outer Sect, it was easy for people to associate it with retaliation.

At that time, even with the connection of his father, Yin Qingyuan, the probability of him keeping his status as a Merit Assessment Pavilion Disciple was low.

After all, this position was responsible for issuing Sect missions and held great power. Many people were eyeing it; it was impossible to allow someone who had made a mistake to continue to hold it.

Thinking of this, Yin Hong couldn't help but feel a bit of regret. In his eyes, Qi Yuan was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will. Losing his job for an ant was not worth it, no matter how he looked at it.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was about to turn and leave soon, he couldn't help but stand up and say coldly:

"You said so much, but you just feel that the mission is too difficult. If you admit on the spot that you are a piece of trash, then I will show mercy once and change the mission for you."

Qi Yuan's footsteps paused, and he stared at him with a half-smile:

"You are overthinking it. I think this mission is very simple; no need to change it."

After speaking, he curled his lips in disdain and lifted his leg to walk out of the hall.

Seeing this, Yin Hong felt as if he had punched empty air. He stared hatefully at Qi Yuan's retreating back, and murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart, as if a demon were whispering in his ear.

"Kill him!"

"Kill, kill, kill... kill this bastard with your own hands..."

For some unknown reason, an absurd thought circled in his mind, unable to be shaken off.

"Since Qi Da dying during the mission will implicate me, I might as well go all the way and kill him before he reaches Puzhou City. At that time, I will disguise it as a demonic Cultivator killing for treasure, and no one will suspect me!"

"That brat was just heavily rewarded by the Sect and also earned a large sum of Spirit Stones from the betting pool. He has at least ten thousand Spirit Stones on him, as well as a few good Magical Artifacts. After killing him, I will take these for myself; even if I lose my job, it will be worth it..."

As he thought, the last trace of reason in his heart completely collapsed. A look of madness and greed flashed in the depths of his eyes. This evil thought grew stronger and stronger, finally turning into a hideous murderous intent.

...

After leaving the Merit Assessment Pavilion, Qi Yuan went straight back to his residence. After casually setting up a layer of Restriction to shield the heavenly secrets, he took out a jade talisman covered with pale golden patterns from his portable space.

This jade talisman was a top-grade communication talisman of the highest Rank. Even if the two parties were separated by a million miles, they could easily communicate. Each one was priceless, and only the high-level figures of some top-tier forces could afford to use them.

At this moment, Qi Yuan injected a trace of True Qi into the jade talisman in his hand. After activating it, a respectful voice immediately came from inside:

"Subordinate greets This Daozi."

Qi Yuan ordered in a calm tone: "Deacon Liang, I have two things here that I need you to do. Listen carefully."

Deacon Liang, named Liang Huai, was an executive Elder of Yuhua Peak in the Holy Land. Yuhua Peak was the location of the Immortal Cave of the Daozi of the Taixuan Holy Land. The person who could sit in this position was naturally Qi Yuan's staunch confidant.

"Please give your instructions, Daozi." The voice on the other side carried respect and piety.

"The first thing: you must immediately go to the Mission Hall of the Holy Land and anonymously post a mission. This mission is restricted to Disciples of the Golden Core Realm and above. The reward is twenty thousand merit points, and it must be completed within fifteen days."

"The content is to go to Puzhou City in the Eastern Divine Region to investigate the disappearance of Cultivators in the city. For those missing Cultivators, you must see the person if they are alive, or see the corpse if they are dead."

As he spoke, Qi Yuan's tone suddenly turned cold, "By the way, investigate the Wang family, a Xuanmen aristocratic family in Puzhou City. If any evil deeds are discovered, they should be severely punished and never tolerated."

Once this mission was issued, unless the Wang family was truly a saint in Puzhou City with absolutely no flaws, they would soon be able to feel the iron fist of justice from the Taixuan Holy Land.

"Yes." Deacon Liang on the other side agreed without hesitation.

Qi Yuan paused slightly and continued: "The second thing: after posting the mission, take the token I left with you and go to the Intelligence Hall to retrieve all information about the Baleful Yin Sect True Disciple, Ji Chan'er. After completing it, report to me."

Hearing Qi Yuan mention the Baleful Yin Sect, Deacon Liang on the other side was clearly stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Subordinate will strictly obey the decree."

Seeming to notice the other party's hesitation, Qi Yuan frowned slightly and asked: "What else do you want to say?"

"The Baleful Yin Sect is extremely dangerous. Daozi, you have a body of ten thousand gold; how can you easily venture into dangerous places..."

Before Liang Huai's words in the jade talisman could be finished, they were interrupted. Qi Yuan said with a wry smile: "Where is your mind? I'm not crazy; how could I possibly run to the Baleful Yin Sect to seek death? I just want to know the background of that Baleful Yin Sect True Disciple."

Hearing this, Liang Huai immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "So that is how it is."

"Hmm, let's leave it at that for now. Remember to report to me in time after obtaining the information."

After speaking, Qi Yuan hung up the connection, a cold and chilling smile appearing on his face: "Surname Yin, since you are seeking death yourself, of course, This Daozi will fulfill your wish."

Knowing that Yin Hong wanted to trap and kill him through a Sect mission, Qi Yuan would never let this person off.

Although Yin Hong could not do anything to him, it was quite annoying to have him come out and scheme against him from time to time. Of course, he had to get rid of him as soon as possible.

When he was at the Merit Assessment Pavilion, he had used a method from the "Luo Tian Spirit Refining Art" to leave an imperceptible mark on the other party's Divine Soul.

Under the guidance of this mental mark, Yin Hong would soon fall into a semi-manic state, and the murderous intent in his heart would be infinitely magnified.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan rose from the stone couch and walked towards the outside of Falling Cloud Valley as if he were strolling in a courtyard.

After all, even if Yin Hong were crazier, he would not dare to take action within the Sect. If one wants to kill a fish, one must naturally first hook the fish out of the water to kill it...
