Chapter 413 Internal Problems of the Ye Family, Giving Face to the Elders
The battlefield was filled with the sounds of fierce fighting, screams, and wails.
At the command of the divine general, all the soldiers obeyed without question.
Any disobedience will cause problems.
Hong Jishi's gaze was sharp as lightning, overlooking the fortress.
The fortress houses a legion of ten thousand men, including many top-tier professionals above level 80.
Those on the list were only a small fraction of the group; they were quickly arrested, and some were executed on the spot for resisting.
Li Xueru remained silent, calmly observing.
Behind him, the Divine Dragon Tower slowly rotated, occasionally emitting a soft humming sound.
With Hong Jishi on his side, he didn't need to do anything personally at this point.
The battle lasted only five minutes before it ended.
Of the eighteen people on Hong Jishi's list, eleven were shot dead on the spot, and seven had their hands and feet broken and were thrown to the ground like wild dogs.
They did not resist, nor would Hong Ki-seok allow them to resist.
At this moment, the Dragon Tower emitted light, and the seven people disappeared simultaneously, having been taken into the Dragon Tower.
Hong Jishi's sharp gaze swept over everyone present. "Not bad, you did a great job."
"As a soldier, never forget the ironclad rule of the military: military orders are as solid as mountains."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "As the divine general commands!"
Hong Jishi was very satisfied, and then he said to Ye Hao, "Elder Ye, let me emphasize this again. "The Imperial Army is not a private army. Their existence is to fight against foreign enemies. Do not let personal desires interfere with their operations."
Ye Hao smiled and said, "Of course, Hong Shen has already seen their performance just now. Military orders are like mountains, and no one dares to disobey the orders of a divine general."
"Similarly, I expect the same for the army in Fortress No. 8."
Hong Jishi laughed heartily, "Of course, I'm going there right away. Would Elder Ye like to come along and take a look?"
Ye Hao shook his head, "No need, I trust Hong Shen's words."
"In that case, I'll take my leave. The evidence will be delivered later."
Fortress Nine was just the first blow, an appetizer.
Eighteen people, representing only a negligible small portion of the entire list.
Either don't do anything, or if you're going to do something, do it cleanly. He and Li Xueru both knew that there were definitely members of the Demon Worshipping Society still inside Fortress Nine.
However, those people are hiding too well, and he hasn't dug them out yet.
However, Hong Jishi also believes that as long as those people dare to make a move, they will definitely slip up.
This purge is not about completely eradicating the Church of the Devil, but about crippling it.
At least for the foreseeable future, this will deter them from making any major moves.
Of course, there is also a second possibility: the demon worshippers may resort to desperate measures and launch a full-scale counterattack.
There is a high probability that the empire will be in chaos for a while.
Hong Jishi and Li Xueru had already made arrangements, so things wouldn't get too chaotic.
On the contrary, if the Demon Worship Association were to actually do that, some hidden figures might come out. In Li Xueru's words, they would be more than happy to see that happen.
This can clean up the tumor even more thoroughly.
Li Xueru looked at Ye Hao, Xia Shize, and the others, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
As he was leaving, he looked at the Demon-Slaying Tower and slowly asked, "Does the Demon-Slaying Tower still have no master?"
Upon hearing this, the four men's expressions changed drastically.
Ye Hao, who had been smiling the whole time, now had no smile on his face.
The expressions on Xia Shize and the other two's faces turned extremely ugly.
The scene of Li Xueru forcefully becoming the master of the Divine Dragon Tower is still vivid in my mind.
Ye Hao squinted. "What does the Confucian God want to say?"
Li Xueru said, "It's nothing. Just guard the Demon-Slaying Tower. Its master will be here soon."
After he finished speaking, a teleportation array appeared in the sky, taking him and Hong Jishi away.
Several people exchanged bewildered glances, and Xia Shize clenched his fists. "What exactly is he trying to say?"
Wang Lin suddenly realized something, "He couldn't be talking about Jiang Chen, could he?"
Who is Jiang Chen?
Ye Hao had never heard of Jiang Chen's name. Over the years, he had been out of touch with worldly affairs and knew very little about what was happening outside.
Wang Lin quickly recounted the events surrounding Jiang Chen.
Ye Hao was greatly shocked after hearing this. "I never expected that such a genius would appear in our human race."
"If he were to reach the god level and become the new master of the Demon-Slaying Tower, it wouldn't be impossible."
Xia Shize said urgently, "Then, sir..."
Ye Hao chuckled lightly, "It's a good thing that such a genius has appeared in our human race. I haven't been able to fully control the Annihilation Tower for so many years, I'm still one step short. If he can do it, I will naturally let him have it."
"Remember this: no matter how much we fight among ourselves, it's all for the sake of humanity. Humanity needs geniuses, it needs a constant influx of fresh blood. Suppression is acceptable, but extermination is not, understand?"
The three quickly replied, "We understand."
Li Xueru and Hong Jishi arrived above Fortress No. 8.
Hong Jishi asked in a deep voice, "Old Li, did you mean to let Xiao Chen take charge of the Demon-Slaying Tower?"
Li Xueru asked, "Is there a problem?"
Hong Jishi shook his head, "No problem, it's just the difficulty."
"Trust Xiao Chen."
Li Xueru only needed to say one sentence; there was no need to say anything more.
Hong Jishi didn't say anything more and flew over Fortress No. 8.
"The divine command is given..." The executioner's blade was raised once more.
Fortress 9 is just the beginning; the real show is yet to come.
Hong Ki-seok did not try to suppress the news.
If someone tries to spread the news through underhanded means, they might expose their true intentions.
Hong Jishi's intelligence gathering team will not let any suspicious person go unnoticed.
Meanwhile, within the empire, a major purge officially began.
One army after another fought their way back from the alien battlefield.
Hong Jishi and Li Xueru's subordinates within the empire also began to act.
In an instant, panic gripped the city, and countless heads rolled.
This time, a large number of people are involved, from local officials to members of various families, totaling at least tens of thousands.
Everyone has ample evidence, and as Hong Ki-seok said, his words are the evidence.
Given Hong Jishi's prestige, no one would doubt his words.
Hong Jishi and Li Xueru quickly cleared out Fort No. 8, after which a large number of troops were dispatched from Fort No. 8 to rush towards Fort No. 7, Fort No. 6 and other forts.
With Hong Jishi's divine general's token in hand, no one dared to resist.
The Ye family of Haicheng is the most prestigious family in Haicheng.
It can be said that most of Haicheng is under the control of the Ye family.
The previous head of the Ye family, Ye Qingtian, was a god-level powerhouse of the same era as Ye Hao.
He is a generation older than Hung Kei-shek.
After he stepped down, he handed over the management of the Ye family to his descendants.
He had been indifferent to worldly affairs for many years, but today, he was alarmed.
Looking at the soldiers in the air, an army composed entirely of top-tier professionals, Ye Qingtian sensed something was wrong.
He had served in the military when he was young and knew what kind of army it was.
Such elite teams are not easily deployed.
A major event must have occurred if someone is mobilized.
Unexpectedly, they have turned their knives on their own family today.
Gazing at the menacing army, Ye Qingtian slowly ascended into the air and asked in a loud voice, "May I ask, what has my Ye family done wrong?"
Ye Qingtian was a god-level expert with immense strength and was not afraid of these troops.
But he also knew that since the army dared to surround the Ye family, there must be an even stronger force behind them.
"Old Master Ye, how have you been?" A clear voice rang out, and Lin Zhenzi appeared in Ye Qingtian's sight.
Lin Zhenzi is also a grandfather, but he is a generation younger than Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian recognized Lin Zhenzi. "Oh, it's Xiao Lin. What's wrong?"
Lin Zhenzi sighed and tossed a document to Ye Qingtian, saying, "Old Ye, take a look for yourself."
Ye Qingtian looked at it with a puzzled expression.
As he watched, his face turned ashen, then pale, his eyes burning with rage.
Despite being a powerful god-level expert, he was trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Zhenzi sighed, "You were my idol when I was young, and you also fought endlessly against the demons of the abyss on the battlefield of the alien world."
"But now the Ye family..."
When Lin Zhenzi mentioned his past glories, Ye Qingtian trembled with anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You unworthy junior, Lin, leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Lin Zhenzi nodded, "That would be best. I trust Elder Ye will handle it well."
Lin Zhenzi didn't want to confront Ye Qingtian directly. Although he wasn't afraid, a battle between god-level experts would likely destroy Haicheng and the surrounding cities.
Ye Qingtian once fought valiantly for the human race. Now that his descendants are facing problems, it would be best if Ye Qingtian could handle this matter himself.
This can be considered as giving face to the seniors.
