Chu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Zhou Zhijia: "Young Master Zhou, don't rush back for now."
Zhou Zhijia forced a smile, his face remaining pale, and looked at Meng Canglan.
Meng Canglan said, "The Daying Camp is indeed very dangerous right now, so don't go back for the time being."
Zhou Zhijia said, "Then how can I get the news in a timely manner?"
This was his mission; abandoning it halfway would not only mean losing merit but also deducting a lot of it.
Meng Canglan said, "I will report to the elders and have Senior Brother return to the sect first."
"Yes," Zhou Zhijia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Having seen the tragic state of the two valleys, he was terrified and dared not go back.
The Daying Camp had suddenly become terrifying, as if it could be sacrificed at any moment.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Jihai Town, slowly saying, "Miss Meng, similar incidents have happened in the Eastern Territory before, right? After the rebellion was quelled, some people died silently."
"Yes, there were indeed some."
"These people were also sacrificed, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said.
"... It's hard to say," Meng Canglan lightly furrowed her brows.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed.
Normally, the death of even a single soldier was no small matter and had to be thoroughly investigated.
But when it came to rebellion, everyone from top to bottom started playing dumb, turning a blind eye.
The lives of those who rebelled were worthless; one less was one less, and they were not valued.
As a result, the evil sects seized this loophole and opportunity to perform sacrifices.
These rebels lived in terrible conditions, were ostracized by everyone, and the fear of being purged grew stronger every day, eventually becoming unbearable and developing a desire for death.
They were the best candidates for sacrifice.
Chu Zhiyuan had now clarified the methods of the evil sects and felt a chill in his heart.
The clearer he saw, the more he felt that the evil sect demons deserved to be killed by everyone.
They were inhuman, destroyed the moral values of the world, and the impact was too strong, making people feel chilled and creating a strong sense of insecurity.
This sense of insecurity was a kind of inexplicable pressure, causing emotions to become sensitive and extreme, turning them into a powder keg that could explode at any moment, leading to more conflicts and making the security situation even worse.
Therefore, these evil sects were the greatest scourge, and their chaos affected not only those who were killed but also the hearts of everyone in the world.
His goal in coming to the Eastern Territory had been constantly changing; he originally thought it was to clean up corruption in the military towns, then it was the corruption of the civil officials.
Now it seemed that what he should do most was not to cleanse the officialdom and military in the Eastern Territory, but to eliminate the evil cultivators.
The rampant degree of evil cultivators was already extremely severe.
He was very disappointed with the Worry-Free Sect.
The Eastern Territory could be considered the Worry-Free Sect's territory, but they obviously did not have the responsibility and sense of ownership of a master.
They regarded the Eastern Territory as the imperial court's territory, so they did not prevent the chaos in the Eastern Territory but were happy to see it happen.
They wanted to profit from this chaos.
If the Worry-Free Sect had any sense of responsibility and prevented the spread and expansion of the evil sects, the Daying Camp rebellion would not have happened this time.
He could now conclude that this rebellion was definitely provoked by the evil sects.
Did the Worry-Free Sect know nothing about it?
It would be a joke if the Worry-Free Sect, as the local hegemon, really knew nothing.
If the Worry-Free Sect still did not contribute in this operation to eliminate the two sects, then he would really have to think carefully about how to suppress the Worry-Free Sect.
"Your Highness!"
Two figures suddenly flashed into view.
White mist steamed from the tops of the two middle-aged men's heads, and their faces were flushed red.
The visualization diagram was faintly visible, making Zhou Zhijia and Meng Canglan unable to breathe.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and cupped his fists: "You two gentlemen have worked hard."
The two men smiled and shook their heads, looked around, and saw the two corpses on the ground.
"Brother Meng, you came one step late," Tao Haoran said with a smile, "We have already killed these two evil sect Grandmasters."
He began to illuminate the three-eyed human statue.
As his spirit focused, his eyes suddenly blurred, and three eyes hung in the void.
A dragon's roar came from his ears.
Suddenly, everything in front of him cleared up.
The three eyes suddenly disappeared.
A force from outside the sky descended and landed on the three-eyed statue.
The three eyes slowly lit up.
Chu Zhiyuan let out a light hum and smashed his Great Heavenly Dragon Fist over.
The dragon's roar sounded again.
Then, the three eyes slowly went out.
Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, the Great Heavenly Dragon Fist was the most miraculous for dealing with this kind of illusion power, possessing the power to break evil.
The Evil-Breaking Divine Saber didn't even come into play.
Huang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the sky.
The other three Grandmasters also breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense bodies slowly relaxed.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the multi-legged human statue again, focusing his spirit to illuminate it once more.
Power from the void descended.
The statue's many legs slowly became blurred, as if countless legs were flying.
Chu Zhiyuan formed a hand seal with both palms and slowly pressed it towards the statue's forehead.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.
The power of the Fearless Realm collided with this force.
The statue returned to normal.
Chu Zhiyuan also released his hand seal and looked up at the sky.
Huang Cheng and the other three looked at each other, revealing surprise.
Chu Zhiyuan's methods were truly miraculous, directly expelling the alien power from outside the sky.
This was not a Master's method; even a Grandmaster could not do this.
If alien power from outside the sky were so easy to deal with, the evil sects would have been wiped out long ago.
Chu Zhiyuan held the two statues in his hands respectively and looked up in the direction of Eagle Beak Cliff.
After a moment, Chu Zhiyuan released his hands and slowly said, "There are no demons from these two sects there."
"Thank goodness," Zhou Zhijia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Canglan: "Besides these two sects, what other evil sects are there in the Eastern Territory?"
Meng Canglan said, "There are at least four more, all of which are difficult to eradicate, elusive, and impossible to defend against."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled noncommittally.
Meng Canglan kept staring at Chu Zhiyuan, observing his subtle expressions.
As a Holy Maiden, she naturally possessed extraordinary abilities, and her grasp of people's hearts was far beyond that of ordinary people.
She sensed Chu Zhiyuan's alienation and dissatisfaction and vaguely guessed that he was complaining about the Worry-Free Sect.
She felt helpless.
The Worry-Free Sect's operations were spread too wide; when those evil sects did not actively provoke the Worry-Free Sect, the Worry-Free Sect would not actively clean them up.
Otherwise, once a fight broke out, countless sect disciples would die tragically.
This was a helpless act of self-preservation.
But in the eyes of the imperial court, it was condoning evil and was the responsibility of the Worry-Free Sect.
Although the Prince was reasonable, he would definitely be on the side of the imperial court, not on the side of the sect.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If these two sects don't have any disciples at Eagle Beak Cliff, the other four may."
"... It's very troublesome."
"Let's sweep these two sects first," Chu Zhiyuan said, "How many experts can your sect send?"
"Do you need Masters or just Grandmasters?"
"How many Grandmasters can you mobilize?"
"... Two is the limit," Meng Canglan thought for a while and said.
"Two..." Chu Zhiyuan looked at Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng said, "Your Highness, just give the order; these demons deserve to be killed!"
Chu Zhiyuan's gaze turned to Tao Haoran and the other three.
Huang Cheng was easy to talk to, being most loyal to the emperor, and could be directly ordered.
The other Grandmasters had to be discussed with and could not be directly commanded.
"Being able to kill evil sect demons is our duty," Tao Haoran said in a deep voice, "Can Your Highness find them?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "With these two things, I can easily find them within a hundred-mile radius."
"Then there's nothing to say, kill!" Tao Haoran said in a deep voice.
Seeing them like this, Chu Zhiyuan vaguely understood that killing evil sect demons should not accumulate negative karma.
Otherwise, they would hesitate.
"Miss Meng, your sect can provide two Grandmasters and twenty Masters, upper third-rank Masters, is that okay?"
"... Okay!" Meng Canglan agreed through gritted teeth.
