Guan Ya, who was holding the rifle, keenly noticed the change in Ling Jun's expression.

Among the four young masters, Chi Yue'an was the most doting and cherished women. When he was young, he read "A Dream of Red Mansions" and idolized Jia Baoyu, vowing to become a man like him. He even imitated Jia Baoyu's way of speaking and often quoted, "Women are made of water, men are made of mud," as his mantra.

Not only that, when he was young, he visited the Fu family with his elder from the Hundred Flowers Society and immediately took a liking to Guan Ya from her teenage years, exclaiming in delight, "My little sister Lin is here."

This led to him getting a tooth knocked out by Guan Ya.

It turned out that he was a flatterer. Ling Jun, who had been on the verge of making a bad decision, turned away from the darkness and was surprised to see the little witch again, saying, "So my dear sister is here."

This resulted in another tooth being knocked out by Guan Ya.

From then on, Ling Jun held a grudge against the women of the Fu family for life.

In the eyes of this contemporary Jia Baoyu, Chi Yue'an's various atrocities seriously challenged his moral values and crossed the line.

While Ling Jun and the others were furious at Chi Yue'an's actions, Kou Beiyue, who was half-conscious, kept repeating one sentence in his mind: "Are you the Primordial Celestial?"

He wasn't Yuan Ting, he was the Primordial Celestial, the one who killed Li Xianzong, and the official practitioner that Xiao Yuan, the genius who rose like a comet in the Songhai Branch, had befriended.

Kou Beiyue was shocked, but it also seemed reasonable. Xiao Yuan was aloof and gentle, making it difficult for ordinary people to become her friends.

Wait, why did he boast about being the Primordial Celestial before? No wonder he boasted about being the Primordial Celestial; how could Xiao Yuan be friends with such a shameless person?

Chaotic and fragmented thoughts flashed through Kou Beiyue's mind, and he could only speculate wildly. The punch from Chi Yue'an had caused internal injuries, and he was probably bleeding heavily. The body of a bewitching demon wouldn't die easily, but it also didn't have the exaggerated self-healing abilities of the Night Wanderer.

Faced with a series of accusations, Chi Yue'an stood proudly and sneered, "Primordial Celestial, you're not even a steward. Do you know what crime it is to frame a steward? Don't think that just because you've achieved an A-level merit, you can do whatever you want. Ordinary official practitioners may praise you, but not everyone will. In the eyes of those with real depth, that bit of merit means nothing."

"Zhang Yuanqing" spat out a mouthful of blood and retorted with a cold gaze, "At least in the eyes of a softie like you, an A-level merit is very useful. Ling Jun, that guy is a tool supported by Chi Yue'an, and he has evidence of him bribing officials." He looked towards the unconscious martial uncle lying against the wall.

"Good!" Ling Jun nodded solemnly and walked towards the martial uncle.

Chi Yue'an's pupils contracted slightly, and a faint red glow appeared on the surface of his white suit, brewing.

The red gloves emitted a high temperature that distorted the air, and flames were about to be unleashed.

Just as the two were about to start fighting, a chaotic and urgent sound of footsteps came from outside the hall. Ling Jun stopped in his tracks and turned to look. The dark red on Chi Yue'an's body receded, and the high temperature of the gloves dissipated.

Three members of the second team looked towards the source of the sound and saw a group of uniformed security officers rushing in through the open hall door. They were armed with riot shields and firearms, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets. The only middle-aged man without a shield was surrounded by the security officers. This man was slightly plump, with sagging cheeks and a sturdy physique, indicating that he had been a robust man in his youth. "Everyone, put your heads down," the middle-aged man growled.

Seeing the heavily armed security officers, Chi Yue'an was slightly stunned. He had thought that the Spirit Realm practitioners under his command had arrived.

After receiving the notification, he had sent a message to his team leaders and then rushed to support them. Judging by the time, those guys should have arrived by now. Unexpectedly, the first to arrive were his colleagues from the Shako District Security Bureau.

"Director Lu, why are you here?" Chi Yue'an's tone was steady.

Director Lu? The deputy director who instructed Kong Liangping to fabricate evidence and cover up for Chi Yue'an? Zhang Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. Kou Beiyue, who was severely injured and lying on the ground, began to breathe rapidly.

"I received a report from the public, saying that some criminals had forcibly entered a private residence and attempted murder." Director Lu, wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet, said solemnly. Chi Yue'an nodded slightly and pointed at Ling Jun and the others, saying, "It's them!"

"These people have unknown origins, are committing violent acts, and are extremely dangerous. Director Lu, you must be careful." Director Lu understood the implication and maintained a dignified demeanor as he spoke loudly, "The four of you, put your heads down. Warning once."

Then, with almost no pause, he gave the order without giving anyone a chance to react: "Warning twice, warning three times, fire!" The surrounding security officers disregarded the superior's improper command and immediately raised their guns, firing a hail of bullets at the four individuals. Zhang Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat; such a dense barrage of bullets posed a direct threat to him.

What's worse, Chi Yue'an and Director Lu of the Shako District Security Bureau were colluding, clearly intending to use these ordinary security officers to cause trouble and create a crisis for them. Killing security officers would change the nature of the situation and result in a deduction of moral values.

Crack! A brick under Ling Jun's foot broke, and a vine adorned with green leaves emerged from the ground, coiling itself into a shield with a diameter of three meters. Bang! The bullets all hit the sturdy wooden shield, either bouncing off or embedding themselves within.Ling Jun snapped his fingers, and with the sound of the snap, the ground beneath the security officers cracked open, and thick, dragon-like vines burst out, growing wildly. The security officers with live ammunition stumbled and struggled to stay on their feet.

The thick vines lashed out, striking the security officers one after another, knocking them to the ground with muffled groans.

Chief Lu, the head of the security bureau, kept retreating, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down in horror to see a vine piercing through his abdomen, stained with blood. He cried out in agony.

The fate of the other security officers was no better, as the vines broke their bones and left them in excruciating pain. "How dare you harm the Chief of the Security Bureau and the security officers?"

Watching coldly from the side, Chi Yue'an raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Young man, impulsiveness comes with a price."

"Whether it's a security officer or the chief, when I'm not happy, whoever makes noise, I'll take care of you." Ling Jun said with a sly smile, exuding a dark aura. He walked slowly towards Chi Yue'an, his tone cold, "Chi Yue'an, I've seen many people more cruel and malicious than you, but not many who can make me angry."

As he spoke, Ling Jun's body suddenly swelled, causing the loose short sleeves to burst open, revealing thick, dark yellow fur with black patterns on his exposed arms and cheeks. His palms widened and thickened, and sharp, black claws emerged. His flip-flops shattered, and his feet transformed into the hind paws of a tiger.

His nose widened, his brown pupils shrank, turning into a pair of amber-colored fierce eyes, and black hair on his forehead formed a "王" pattern. In three or two steps, he transformed into a two-meter-tall giant tiger walking on two legs.

The humanoid giant tiger pounced slowly, its front paws touching the ground, emitting a deep and majestic growl as it lunged towards Chi Yue'an. "Beast King?"

Chi Yue'an remained calm. As all of them were saints, the difference wouldn't be too great. He sprayed flames from his red gloves, forming a bright yellow whip. "Crack!"

Chi Yue'an swung his arm, lashing out at the charging tiger.

The fast-charging tiger leaped to the left, avoiding the whip, leaving a deep crack in the ground. "Crack, crack, crack."

Chi Yue'an vigorously swung his arm, delivering one fierce attack after another.

But the colorful giant tiger dodged left and right, agilely avoiding each strike, and suddenly lunged at Chi Yue'an. With a loud thud, Chi Yue'an took several steps back and retracted the whip, turning it into a straight sword.

Next, Chi Yue'an's body erupted with waves of heat, and his breath rose layer by layer. As he unleashed the "Raging" technique, he stopped retreating, and his leg muscles swelled, propelling his body like a bullet towards the oncoming tiger.

He knew the opponent was the Beast King, with powerful regenerative abilities, but Chi Yue'an was not afraid of a mutual defeat.

In terms of healing power, the Ganlin Armor was enough to match the Beast King, and the burning attribute of the Scarlet Flame Divine Weapon could suppress the Beast King's recovery. In exchange for injury, he wouldn't lose out.

Suddenly, the colorful giant tiger in front of him, with a body like a boneless fish, began to twist and elongate lightly. The next moment, the colorful giant tiger transformed into a thick, black-scaled giant snake.

The sword that should have pierced the tiger's heart slid off the scales, creating a charred wound. The giant snake's head flicked, baring its fangs and biting Chi Yue'an's neck.

This was bad. Chi Yue'an had never seen a Beast King transform so rapidly. Caught off guard, he was about to self-destruct to drive away the giant snake. However, his body suddenly surged with intense fatigue, and his hands, which could tear apart tigers and leopards, couldn't exert any strength. His knees gave way, and he sat down on the ground.

Poisoned.

The giant snake's fangs contained a terrible toxin, which had been injected into his bloodstream through the recent bite, paralyzing his body. "Heh, heh," Chi Yue'an widened his eyes, emitting a low growl of unwillingness.

The giant snake released its grip, stood up, retracted its scales, grew legs and feet, and returned to human form, with private parts covered by thick fur. "The gap between saints is quite significant," Ling Jun sneered, then turned to Li Dongze and said, "Take this damn mess to get the evidence." Li Dongze nodded and picked up the unconscious Wu Ye.

Ling Jun then looked at Zhang Yuanqing and squinted, "I've taken care of this case for you, but you should think about how to explain to the elders why you're associating with evil professions." Zhang Yuanqing was still in shock.

A level 4 fully experienced saint was incredibly weak in front of him. Moreover, it was clear that Ling Jun hadn't even exerted his full strength.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard again, and seven or eight Spirit Realm travelers, armed with guns, rushed into the hall.

Seeing the scene of devastation and the weakened figure of Chi Yue'an, these official travelers suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking at each other in surprise.

Chi Yue'an struggled to lift his head and, when no one noticed him, mouthed a message to his subordinates who had rushed over: "Save me, or I'll expose everything you've done."

Dawn, pet shop.

The curly-haired Teddy jumped onto the wooden table, and the potted plant on the table extended its tender green tendrils, automatically opening the laptop, entering the password, and logging into the voice conference software. The curly-haired Teddy waited silently for over ten minutes until the meeting began.

In the meeting room, four avatars came online one after another.

Elder Dog cleared his throat and made the opening statement, "Have you all watched the video evidence? Lao Hu, Chi Yue'an is your subordinate. How do you want to handle this?"The avatar is the elder of the flame god, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the rules of the gang, according to the rules of the alliance, he must die. My opinion is to execute him on the spot. If you are not convenient to do it yourself, give him back to me, and I will take care of it personally." The video content includes dozens of videos, including rape, gang rape, abuse, and other criminal evidence. Regardless of other criminal evidence, based on these alone, it is enough to convict Chi Yue'an.

"Just convicting him is enough?" The avatar of the female elder of the river snorted coldly:

"I have checked Chi Yue'an's physical examination data. He has a strong hatred towards women and a tendency for violence. How did you turn a blind eye to such a psychological assessment? He should have been investigated long ago. As an elder, you also have a responsibility."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" The elder of the Chi Fire Gang said angrily.

For the fire masters, discrimination against women and a tendency for violence are normal, as long as the mentality is not completely distorted, there is no need for special observation. "Perhaps, I can also teach you how to be a better person." The female elder of the Water God Palace said in a gloomy tone.

The elder of the Central Courtyard stepped in to mediate, saying:

"The video evidence needs to be submitted to the capital. I wonder how the officials in the Sha Kou district will handle it." The elder of the Chi Fire Gang sneered:

"For those without background, Sun Dasheng's iron rod will kill them, and for those with background, they will just take back their mounts. We don't need to worry about official matters. Let's talk about the Copper Sparrow Tower case." The elder of the White Tiger Army said:

"The first thing is that Chi Yue'an has supported the forces of evil for several years, amassing over two billion in ill-gotten gains, but we have not traced the whereabouts of the money." "Are you suggesting that there are people behind Chi Yue'an?" The elder of the White Tiger Army pondered.

"It's just a guess." The elder said with a chuckle, "He used to be a son-in-law of the Zhu family." "Killing him will reveal the truth." The elder of the Chi Fire Gang said bluntly.

"Foolish, executing a steward requires approval from the headquarters. Headquarters review and investigation take time." The female elder of the Water God Palace sneered. The two elders quarreled as soon as they met, and fought as soon as they met.

The elder said:

"The second thing is that several teams of practitioners in the Sha Kou district and Chi Yue'an accused the Primordial Supreme of colluding with evil professionals and harming colleagues. Ling Jun and the second team in the Kangyang district admitted that there was a bewitching demon present at the time." The elder of the Chi Fire Gang said in a deep voice:

"I have checked the surveillance footage of the Copper Sparrow Tower, and the situation is true. What is his explanation for this?"

The elder said:

"The explanation given by the Primordial Supreme is to punish evil and promote good."

"Promote good and punish evil," the female elder of the Water God Palace repeated in a low voice. The elder of the Chi Fire Gang snorted coldly:

"Perfunctory! Regardless of the purpose, associating with a bewitching demon with a penchant for killing is a stain that he can never wash away. According to the rules of the alliance, private dealings with evil professionals will result in expulsion from the Five Elements Alliance at best, and imprisonment or execution at worst." Considering his exposure of Chi Yue'an's crimes, and his A-level merit, I believe he should be given a major demerit and imprisoned for six months."

The elder of the White Tiger Army immediately said, "I object!"

If he receives a major demerit, it will affect the promotion of the Primordial Supreme. The Primordial Supreme is a member of the White Tiger Army, and he cannot agree to that. The elder spoke up and said:

"Let me explain here. The sister of that bewitching demon was one of the victims of the Copper Sparrow Tower two years ago, and was killed by Chi Yue'an. Because of this, he became a bewitching demon. This person has already been detained by Fu Qingyang, interrogated, and has not killed any ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, the Water God Palace elder, who had been hesitant, immediately expressed her opposition: "I also object."

The elders of the Chi Fire Gang and the Central Courtyard did not express their stance, nor did they relent.

The members of the Five Elements Alliance who collude with outsiders have never been shown mercy. The dark agents of the Dark Night Rose, when ordered to kill, will kill. A major demerit and six months of imprisonment are already quite lenient.

At this time, the elder of the White Tiger Army said, "Fu Qingyang has contacted me and he hopes to connect with us." There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and the elder said:

"Let him in."

The other three elders did not object.

A few seconds later, Fu Qingyang's avatar appeared in the meeting room. Unlike the professional elements used as avatars by the other elders, all of Fu Qingyang's chat software avatars are of himself. "Elders, the Primordial Supreme is under my command, and I have something to say about his disposal."

Fu Qingyang's voice was calm and composed, with a standard pronunciation and clear articulation. "Are you here to plead for him?" The elder of the Central Courtyard spoke up.

"I will not plead for anyone. I will only state the facts." Fu Qingyang said calmly.

Fu Qingyang's respect for the elders has always been superficial, after all, even the female marshal is rubbish in his eyes, and everyone present is definitely rubbish as well. "First of all, I want to report on the psychological assessment of the Primordial Supreme - he is an idealist, and at this stage, it is not advisable to give him too important a position.

"Understanding this person, we can find a reasonable logic in his actions. The bewitching demon is named Kou Beiyue. Two years ago, his sister disappeared for no reason and was later killed, and he became a practitioner of the Ling Realm because of this.

"This person's character is still relatively good, he has not wantonly killed innocent people, and is even more lawful than many lawful professionals. Therefore, it is only the idealist Primordial Supreme who has any connection with him. That's why the Primordial Supreme lent a hand, leading to tonight's incident at the Copper Sparrow Tower.

"Legally, he was wrong, but from a moral and logical standpoint, I don't think he was wrong."

The elder of the Central Courtyard sighed, "For law enforcers, idealism is not a good thing."

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "Good or bad, let's not discuss that for now. At the very least, he is a good person. Elders, you don't object, do you?" The five elders did not speak, which was considered as consent.Fu Qingyang spoke confidently:

"The composition of the Primordial Sovereign is without issue. Now, let's discuss how to handle this matter. Given the extent of the situation, it's impossible to cover up or conceal. We must issue a public statement to explain to the branches and headquarters." Chi Yue'an's actions have tarnished the image of the Five Elements Alliance, both internally and externally. Therefore, we need to downplay the severity and set an example. Elders, you wouldn't want to be held accountable by the headquarters, would you?" The elder from the Water God Palace chuckled, "Go on."

Fu Qingyang continued:

"We can label Chi Yue'an as a member of the Dark Night Rose, infiltrating the Five Elements Alliance to commit evil deeds and extort wealth. All of this is the fault of the Dark Night Rose, what does it have to do with our Songhai branch? We are also victims." The comprehensive inspection just ended, and the Five Elements Alliance is no stranger to the erosion by the Dark Night Rose, and can fully accept this. But just saying so still won't convince everyone, and the stigma of negligence is inevitable.

"So, we need to guide public opinion."

The Dog Elder pondered for a moment: "Guiding public opinion is a good idea. Share your thoughts."

"After the comprehensive inspection, the Songhai branch struck like thunder, dispatching the Primordial Sovereign to investigate the major stewards, and indeed unearthed a member of the Dark Night Rose. The Primordial Sovereign ventured alone, gathering evidence, and after several life-and-death experiences, in cooperation with the Kangyang District Spirit Realm squad, destroyed the den and captured the traitor." Fu Qingyang said in one breath, seriously adding:

"A bad situation turns into a good one, what do the elders think?"

As for the disposition of the Primordial Sovereign, punishing a hero would be like slapping oneself in the face. The meeting room fell into silence.

After a moment, the Dog Elder shook his head slightly: "It's not appropriate!" Fu Qingyang raised an eyebrow, "What's inappropriate?"

The Dog Elder: "The title is too long."

The other elders remained silent.

Fu Qingyang got the message: "I'll have someone draft a new title right away, and we'll post it on the forum at the crack of dawn." Eight o'clock in the morning.

The Songhai branch posted a message on the forum:

#Dark Night Rose's Outrageous Deeds, Primordial Sovereign Single-Handedly Destroys Traitor's Den# PS: Typos will be corrected after posting.
