After killing these infiltrators, Qian Er returned to New City.
After returning from the Sea of Rules, he often recalled his experiences there, always with an indescribable feeling.
Although he hadn't given up on finding a way to change the rules, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.
The Myriad Transformations Demon said that the operating rules of the Insect Lord and the Xie Zhi could be found in the Sea of Rules, meaning they were small portions of power granted to them by the world.
The Xie Zhi's ability, even when rewriting rules, wouldn't enter the Sea of Rules; it would only briefly linger in the world, like a reflection in a mirror or a flower in the moon, and could be scattered at any time.

It still couldn't compare to the regular iron laws of heaven and earth.
The news of Qian Er killing the Old Raven and other races spread quickly among the myriad races, but no major news came of it.
The remaining alien races haven't made a single move recently, as calm as a stagnant pool of water.
That Ice Fang Dragon Demigod also hasn't shown any sign, extremely patient.
The human race has also fallen into peace; for a time, it seemed the world was at peace.
"The Ning faction's dominance in the court is now inevitable, and no one will dare to challenge their authority in the short term."
"The reason they were so frantically showering the Great King with gifts before is because only the Great King can now suppress the Ning faction."
"These factions, frankly, are just vying for favor. Whoever the higher-ups favor becomes the best."
"But the Great King is different. The status of those factions combined in the higher-ups' hearts probably doesn't even compare to the Great King's, so they want to use you to turn the tide."
City Lord Zhang hesitated.
Qian Er smiled.
"Do you think I'm going to wade into this muddy water because I accepted so many gifts from them?"
"I'm not interested in these things. These superficial things are played by people without real strength."
"I accepted their gifts because I think highly of them, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take sides. There's nothing wrong with accepting gifts. If I don't accept gifts from any of them, they probably won't be able to sleep at night."
City Lord Zhang thought for a moment and gave Qian Er a thumbs up.
"Since they've all given them to me, I'll just take them, without bias, and help no one."
Seeing that City Lord Zhang seemed to have more to say, Qian Er paused and still said it.
"Don't worry, I've investigated. Ao Tianshun and his group have completely broken away from the factional struggle. They are no longer Wang Xiaobao's people."
"If you really want to talk about parties, then they will only be my Qian Party."
City Lord Zhang's expression was unusually conflicted.
Qian Er looked at the troubled City Lord Zhang and roughly knew why he was conflicted.
After all, Wang Xiaobao was Ao Tianshun's mentor. How long have these people been in Stele City? How could they be so devoted?
And Zhang Chengzhu and Ao Tianshun are childhood sweethearts, he obviously can't say this kind of thing.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang."
Qian Er said leisurely.
"Since I'm investigating, I naturally investigated everything, including that Wang Xiaobao. I was afraid Ao Tianshun would be suspicious if I let you investigate this kind of thing, so I didn't tell you."
"Wang Xiaobao, nicknamed Brother Bao, started his career in business. This person is very cunning and extremely unscrupulous. Although he is not a Beast Master, he has used countless underhanded methods."
"Moreover, he basically does everything extremely secretly, finding someone to take the blame. In short, it has nothing to do with him, but he is the ultimate deep beneficiary."
"Wang Xiaobao intended to give me Ao Tianshun and others a long time ago, but he didn't say it explicitly. At that time, we all thought it was the higher-ups' intention, and he deliberately used this method to hide it from the old foxes of the Ning faction."
"After all, he's a guy who can compete with Ning Tianman. He has other plans. After sending Ao Tianshun over, a newcomer quickly took over the original position."
"This Brother Bao is very good at recognizing and using people. It can be said that he has a lot of talent under his command. He doesn't know how many chess pieces he has arranged in private. The person who took over Ao Tianshun is called A Shui, about the same age as Ao Tianshun."
Qian Er shook his head and laughed: "I've said a bit too much. You just need to know that Ao Tianshun can't go back, that's enough."
City Lord Zhang gave a nod, feeling much more at ease.
He was just afraid that Ao Tianshun would become an undercover agent. Zhang Chengzhu had been under Qian Er for a long time, and he didn't think that Ao Tianshun's teacher could defeat Qian Er.
Qian Er is a god in the hearts of the people of Stele City!
After City Lord Zhang left, Qian Er stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling quite content.
The gifts sent by those large and small factions had almost filled the courtyard.

Beijing.
An unremarkable man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of a certain group. In his eyes, the entire Beijing seemed to have bowed its head.
"Brother Bao, do you really not want Brother Shunzi to come back?"
A young man stood timidly behind the man, wearing a suit and leather shoes, but still looking a bit immature.
"I think, if you ask, Brother Shunzi will definitely come back."
"If he comes back, I won't dare to use him."
Wang Xiaobao smiled, with no trace of reluctance on his face. The young man behind him looked at the man in surprise, feeling that the man at this moment was so strange.
"A Shui, how many years have you been with me?"
"Twelve years, Brother Bao."
The young man lowered his eyebrows and was very respectfully bent over.
"If you hadn't taken me out of the orphanage, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have enough to eat now. A Shui will never forget Brother Bao's kindness in this lifetime."
Wang Xiaobao lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"Do you know where you are worse than Ao Tianshun?"
A Shui was stunned.
"You are too upright. People like that are destined to have no good ending in society."
"If I give you a kitchen knife, you will not hesitate to hand it over as a dangerous item, while Ao Tianshun will hide it in his arms. Maybe he will never use it in his life, but once he uses it, it will definitely see blood."
"When I went to pick you up, the earliest group of children, I was only about twenty years old myself. I was still a child, and I treated you all as my own brothers."
Wang Xiaobao smiled and looked at A Shui, his eyes incomparably gentle.
"I'm more at ease with Ao Tianshun being under the command of the Town King than under my command. I've offended too many people, and I don't know how it will end in the future."
"That Qian Er is an even more talented person than me, but I, Wang Xiaobao, will never work under anyone else in this lifetime."
Wang Xiaobao looked at the lights of thousands of homes under his feet, with a confident smile on his face.
"I'm sure that Qian Er will not participate in political struggles, so we will not become enemies."
"The Ning faction will eventually be defeated by us!"
