Without high-level reshuffling, no matter how many henchmen you have, you're powerless to turn the tide.
Lin Xuanye's expression was indifferent as he continued, "As for Xuanyuan Zhandao of the Ministry of Works, your position can be replaced at any time, and someone will do a better job than you."
"Nephew, why...why do you have to be so ruthless? I am your uncle!" Xuan Yuanzhan said incredulously.
"For nearly thirty years, you have been insatiably greedy in the Ministry of Works. The funds in your accounts alone amount to 3.8 billion, not to mention the various properties you have purchased. Do you think you deserve to die?"
Lin Xuanye coldly stared at Xuanyuan Zhandao.
Xuanyuan Zhandao's face turned pale instantly.
It turned out that his background had already been thoroughly investigated.
"Do you really intend to kill us?" Wu Chao clenched his fists.
"Killing you has never been the point. I can let you live, and I can also let you die at any time," Lin Xuanye said.
"Your Majesty, this old minister knows his crime." Wu Chao immediately admitted his guilt: "Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to give me another chance, I will definitely swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death."
"You have no chance," Lin Xuanye said decisively. "Once you're inside, neither of you will ever get out."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you abolish their cultivation. Otherwise, these two clans are not weak and have powerful forces behind them. If they are rescued by someone else, there may be more trouble. It would be better to abolish their cultivation directly. Whether to kill them or not is up to you."
Those outside, knowing that Xuan Yuanzhan Dao and Wu Chao's cultivation had been crippled, would surely abandon them.
Ye Qiu offered his suggestions at the opportune moment.
“Teacher is right,” Lin Xuanye said. “Afterwards, we should also publish the evidence of their crimes to the world, so that those people will have no chance to take advantage of us.”
“That’s exactly right,” Ye Qiu said. “After annihilating these two clans, His Majesty should have some time to recuperate and rapidly strengthen his forces.”
"Teacher's guidance is excellent." Lin Xuanye smiled.
But soon, Lin Xuanye became worried again: "Teacher, although the magic power of these two has been sealed, they are still only at the Cave Dharma Realm. Wu Chao's realm is even half a step beyond the Cave Dharma Realm, with one foot in the Spirit Dao Realm. He is a true half-step Venerable."
“That’s easy,” Ye Qiu volunteered. “I can go and cripple them.”
"Teacher, killing them is relatively easy, but crippling their cultivation is more difficult, because if you're not careful, the power of a half-step Venerable Realm cultivator can explode, and the force is no less than that of a weapon explosion." Lin Xuanye's expression was solemn.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
"Alright." Lin Xuanye chose to trust Ye Qiu: "In that case, then we'll have to rely on the old teacher again."
"good."
Lin Hao stepped forward and opened the cell door directly.
Upon seeing the prison door open, Xuanyuan Zhandao and Wu Chao rushed forward with all their might.
But Ye Qiu casually kicked the two men back into their cells with two loud bangs.
"Do you still consider yourselves high and mighty cultivators? Once you're here, no matter how powerful you are, you can't stir up any trouble."
Ye Qiu sneered.
"You little beast, I'm going to kill you."
"kill."
Wu Chao and Xuanyuan Zhandao moved in unison.
Although they did not focus on physical cultivation, their bodies were already extremely strong after years of training, and lifting 100,000 jin was not difficult for them.
But the person they encountered was Ye Qiu, a terrifying being whose pure physical strength exceeded one million.
Compared to Ye Qiu, Wu Chao and Xuan Yuan Zhan Dao were like children meeting a muscular man—completely outmatched.
Therefore, without any surprises, the two were brutally beaten by Ye Qiu and knocked unconscious.
After the two fainted, Ye Qiu circulated his internal energy and directly absorbed the magical power within their bodies.
Here, cultivation is sealed, and one cannot use magical power.
But Ye Qiu is different. He can't use his magic power, but he can still convert his magic power into martial arts true qi to erupt.
It should be noted that Ye Qiu was originally a martial artist before entering the path of cultivation.
"Huh? How could this be?"
Sensing something was amiss, Lin Xuanye's eyes widened.
“Brother Xuan Ye, it seems that Mr. Ye is not restricted by this place.” Lin Jing Shu was also shocked.
"Teacher Ye is ridiculously powerful; even the restrictions left by the sage are ineffective against him." Lin Xuanye said excitedly.
Inside the cell, Ye Qiu swiftly absorbed a portion of the two men's magical power, then shattered their spiritual seas, preventing the magical power within from erupting.
After they finished doing all this, the two of them woke up.
Realizing their own situation, Xuanyuan Zhandao and Wu Chao screamed in despair, unable to believe or accept the outcome.
But no matter how unwilling they are, their lives are destined to be destroyed, and they will never be able to turn things around.
"Xuanyuan Zhandao, I know you are close to the Seventh Prince, but you shouldn't confide in him too much. From today onwards, your personal assets will be confiscated."
As for you, regardless of the circumstances, I will still have to call you my maternal uncle. Your death sentence will be waived; once all the turmoil has subsided, you will be exiled three thousand miles away.
Lin Xuanye spoke calmly.
Xuanyuan Zhandao gasped for breath, spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
Lin Xuanye didn't care at all and turned to look at Wu Chao: "As for your Wu family's Sword Pavilion, you've been involved in selling the Dragon Dynasty's Dao soldiers to other dynasties in the past few years, making a fortune in secret, and even colluding with the Sword Immortal Sect. Do you really think that no one knows what you've done?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer all my assets to disband the Wu Family Sword Pavilion."
Wu Chao hurriedly said in a deep voice.
He knew very well that Xuanyuan Zhandao was spared death because of the Empress Dowager, which made it difficult for Lin Xuanye to kill him.
