But this doesn't mean that he killed half of the Evil Sect disciples.
As could be seen from the Silver Venerable statues, each Venerable statue had a limited capacity.
The number of Evil Sect disciples that could be connected was limited.
The Ink Venerable statue couldn't connect all disciples, and it was estimated that the Silver Venerable statue couldn't either.
Even having killed so many, there were still more Evil Sect disciples remaining.
He estimated that there were definitely more than just ten thousand.
Tens of thousands of Evil Sect disciples, how many innocent people had they killed?
Almost every Evil Sect disciple had blood on their hands, a few at the very least, hundreds at most, and Grandmasters even had thousands.
How many lives had tens of thousands of Evil Sect disciples devoured?
Just thinking about this astronomical number filled him with murderous intent.
This showed how lax the imperial court's management was.
Even if those who died were often from remote and isolated areas, even if it was the accumulation of hundreds of years, there were still tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, each year.
Even though the Great Jing territory and population far surpassed his previous life, this was still an extremely alarming number.
If the imperial court knew this number, how could they still be so indifferent to the Evil Sect?
If, as Li Hongzhao said in his letter, the Evil Sect's lair was not within this dynasty, then it would be even more troublesome.
Even if all the Evil Sect disciples here were killed, the lair wouldn't be here, and they wouldn't be able to raid it.
Then there would be a constant stream of Evil Sect disciples coming over, and they would never be able to kill them all.
To completely eliminate them, it would require the cooperation of the three dynasties, acting together.
To achieve this, they would first have to see the peace talks between the three dynasties.
He decided to suggest to the imperial court that this be added to the peace talks.
"Senior Sister? Senior Sister?" Shen Hanyue's voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
"Come in."
Shen Hanyue pushed the door open and entered, dressed in white satin martial attire, looking heroic and radiant.
Seeing Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue said, "You're finally awake."
Xiao Ruoling was a little embarrassed, "Have you already finished practicing your skills?"
"Hehe, I've advanced another level," Shen Hanyue said triumphantly, "It was because of last night's matter."
"Amazing," Xiao Ruoling said with a smile.
The progress of the Great Lunar Refinement was extremely rapid, a quick method.
If it weren't for Chu Zhiyuan's excellent example, they would have thought the Great Lunar Refinement was too fast, so fast that it was a bit strange.
Now, they didn't think it was unusual.
Shen Hanyue glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, "Speaking of which, it's also thanks to the Heir."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What credit do I have?"
Shen Hanyue said, "The lunar phase is accurate, you're much more accurate than us!"
Practicing with an accurate lunar phase was truly different, especially with consecutive accurate lunar phases, it was like a snowball rolling.
When they were cultivating in Inviting Moon Palace, the lunar phase couldn't be accurately determined, right today, wrong tomorrow, or wrong today, right tomorrow.
It was difficult to continuously judge correctly.
Even so, their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
But after coming here, with three consecutive days of accurate lunar phases, they felt the difference.
The Gang Qi increased like a snowball rolling, and the speed of improvement startled them.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's just a small effort, I wouldn't dare take credit for it."
"This is not a small effort," Shen Hanyue blinked her bright eyes and looked at him with a giggle, "Heir, can you do us a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Help us determine the lunar phase every day, how about it?"
"Junior Sister!" Xiao Ruoling scolded.
"Senior Sister, if we have an accurate lunar phase, we can improve by leaps and bounds, maybe we can become Grandmasters very soon, and be able to help, instead of being a burden, right?"
"... It won't be that fast."
"Senior Sister, I think it will be very fast, as long as the lunar phase is judged correctly, it will be very, very, very fast."
"I'll help with this favor," Chu Zhiyuan readily agreed.
Xiao Ruoling looked at him embarrassedly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? Zou Fang, help me remember this matter."
"Yes," Zou Fang responded from the shadows.
"Thank you, Heir," Shen Hanyue said sweetly.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Shen Hanyue huffed, "This time, I'm definitely going to make Xu Yingying angry."
Xiao Ruoling looked helpless.
The two seemed to be natural enemies, fighting endlessly whenever they met.
Even if they didn't meet, they were secretly competing.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Yingying has extremely good luck, it won't be easy to surpass her."
Xu Yingying was about to reach the Grandmaster Completion stage, while Shen Hanyue and the others were still a bit behind.
Shen Hanyue huffed, "She has good luck, but our luck here isn't bad either, as long as you help us, without favoring her, I will definitely advance to Grandmaster ahead of her."
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.
This Shen Hanyue was hinting at him.
He would indeed help Xu Yingying comprehend.
Each level of her mental cultivation required her own exploration of the operational routes, making her more reliant on the Miraculous Spirit Pearl.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then let's consider it a mutual offset."
Shen Hanyue helplessly pouted.
"Xiao Senior Sister, I'm here!" Xu Yingying's clear and cheerful voice came from outside.
Xiao Ruoling smiled and glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, raising her voice, "Come in, Yingying."
Xu Yingying pushed the door open and entered, seeing that Chu Zhiyuan was also there, she greeted him with a smile, and then said to Shen Hanyue, "Shen Junior Sister, I've reached the Grandmaster Completion stage."
Shen Hanyue huffed, "Very good, but don't be in a hurry, whoever advances to Grandmaster first is the victor."
Xu Yingying looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled, "No Evil Sect experts approached last night, right?"
Xu Yingying smiled proudly, "They wouldn't dare to provoke us."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Evil Sect experts indeed didn't dare to provoke the Nine Li Divine Sect, in their eyes, the Nine Li Divine Sect was more troublesome than Inviting Moon Palace.
Although Inviting Moon Palace killed more Evil Sect disciples, it was, after all, a female sect, lacking a layer of deterrence.
Chu Zhiyuan listened to their idle chatter, gradually focusing his mind inward, looking at the inside of his body.
The Bright Moon Saber God had improved, and the power of the two small sword Gangs had increased accordingly, greatly increasing the destructive power to the Golden Tower.
The golden light emitted from the Golden Tower was more abundant and stronger, further activating the body.
He could clearly feel that this body was becoming younger, full of vitality.
This was somewhat like reversing aging.
The appearance couldn't change towards childhood, but the body's state was transforming towards adolescence, in a stage of vigorous vitality like the development stage, the deeper he practiced, the more solid the foundation.
In the operation of the Dragon Transformation Art, strange patterns gradually flashed on the ten fingers and ten toes, faintly visible.
These patterns made the strength of his fingers and toes stronger and stronger.
As their strength increased, it drove the entire strength of the body to become stronger.
The body became lighter and lighter, as if with a light step, he could shoot into the sky and never return.
Outside the Ziyang Manor, three more white bone towers were built, all piled with the corpses of Evil Sect demons.
This news spread like wildfire again, attracting more people to the outside of the Ziyang Manor to view the white bone towers.
It had become a tourist attraction.
Many who were timid and didn't dare to look were also involuntarily coerced into it, forced to overcome their fear and watch along.
That evening, Chu Zhiyuan returned to the Qing Prince's Mansion, and the family gathered for dinner.
"Yuan'er, the imperial court intends to move you to another position," Chu Minghou said.
"Move to where?"
"The Ministry of Personnel."
"The Ministry of Personnel?!" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Father, I'm doing well in the Ministry of Rites, why go to the Ministry of Personnel?"
Chu Yi's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly said, "Big Brother, the Ministry of Personnel is far more important than the Ministry of Rites, you've been promoted, right?"
She turned her head and asked, "Father, what position does Big Brother hold?"
"Still the Left Vice Minister," Chu Minghou said.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "That's still a promotion."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.
Chu Yi said, "The Ministry of Personnel manages the promotion of all officials -- His Majesty the Emperor is letting you get to know these officials in advance, so that you won't be completely in the dark after ascending the throne."
"Little Sister!" Chu Zhiyuan glared at her unhappily.
