Chapter 853: Confidence

At the same time.

Inside the Hall of the Array Master, it was already filled with people.

They were all members of the powerful elite of Luo Town.

Mu Yanwan was strikingly among them, sitting quietly beside the head of the Mu family.

It was also at this moment.

Xu Zhifan arrived; the head of the Wen family was just about to stand up to greet him, but quickly noticed the person in front of Xu Zhifan.

It was none other than Yin Baiyi, the owner of the Knowing Fate Bookstore.

And under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Yin Baiyi sat in the seat of honor.

In an instant, everyone's expression turned solemn, their gazes shifting between the faces of Yin Baiyi and Xu Zhifan.

"Everyone," Yin Baiyi looked at the crowd and smiled:

"Originally, I wanted to chat more with you all, but time is tight now, so I will speak directly."

Mu Yanwan's brows were tightly locked; she instantly sensed an unusual implication, the Qi and blood within her body churning as her hands slowly formed an array.

Yin Baiyi swept a faint glance at Mu Yanwan, and with a single look, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.

In a split second, the Qi and blood within Mu Yanwan's body were completely suppressed, and everyone in the hall changed color.

Someone stood up and growled:

"What are you doing?!"

Yin Baiyi pressed down with one hand.

Boom—

That person was forced to their knees on the ground by a terrifying force.

Crack, crack, crack!

Accompanied by the sound of breaking bones and tearing flesh.

That person was directly crushed into a puddle of mush by the invisible pressure, flesh and blood covering the floor.

Mu Yanwan's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

This is the Eighth Rank!

"The matter is just as it is." Yin Baiyi waved one hand, and an array disk appeared in front of everyone.

"I, Yin Baiyi, am the Great Chief of the Black Wind Hall. I give you all ten breaths of time to sign the master-recognition array, and I will spare your lives."

Yin Baiyi wore a smile on his lips, then stood up and walked toward the hall door, saying as he walked:

"Ten, nine..."

He did not give anyone any time to discuss or even resist.

Now that Ma Zhiyao had arrived, it had disrupted Yin Baiyi's plans; Yin Baiyi needed to resolve these family heads as quickly as possible, then use all his strength to deal with Chen Yan.

"Eight, seven, six..."

Yin Baiyi's voice was like a death knell; inside the entire hall, every powerful figure of Luo Town had eyes full of panic, their Adam's apples bobbing incessantly, yet they could not make a sound.

They understood in an instant that Yin Baiyi was an Eighth Rank expert, and they had no chance of resistance.

Even Xu Zhifan had long since joined the Black Wind Hall.

Someone lowered their eyes heavily, their knuckles turning blue from the force as they dripped their blood onto the master-recognition array.

Mu Yanwan looked at her grandmother beside her.

For a moment, both of them wore expressions of struggle.

Panic surged in the depths of Mu Yanwan's heart; anyone else could sign the master-recognition array.

But she could not.

Because if she signed it, she would have to consider Chen Yan's attitude.

What to do, what to do, what to do?

Mu Yanwan was burning with anxiety; finally, she gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

Perhaps out of respect, or perhaps out of fear.

At this moment, Mu Yanwan did nothing.

Yet in the next moment.

A sharp pain appeared at her fingertip, and Mu Yanwan was stunned.

Just as she reacted, she saw that her grandmother had already pricked her fingertip, letting her blood drip onto the master-recognition array disk in front of her.

The Mu family matriarch's face was ashen:

"If we die, then everything is gone!"

The old woman gave a miserable laugh and transmitted her voice:

"If Venerable Chen Yan is dissatisfied, this old bag of bones has lived long enough; I can just offer my life to atone for the sin."

Mu Yanwan felt a chill in her heart; she did not know what to say at this time.

"Four, three..."

Yin Baiyi had just reached the hall entrance and smiled:

"It seems you are all quite sensible; I will give you all a chance to perform meritorious service."

He collected all the blood-stained master-recognition disks, then said faintly:

"Since all the family heads have chosen our Black Wind Hall, I presume those Array Pivot Envoys and Array Pulse Soldiers from your respective families would not wish to see their kin separated."

Yin Baiyi's voice fell.

Despair surfaced in the hearts of all the powerful figures who had already signed the master-recognition array.

Recruiting them was merely a means; recruiting their families' Array Pivot Envoys, Array Pulse Soldiers, and Array Reserve Soldiers was the true goal.

Now that they have already defected to the Black Wind Hall, those noble scions of the clans have no other room for choice.

Yin Baiyi swept a glance at Xu Zhifan.

Very quickly, Xu Zhifan nodded and left.

A smile appeared at the corners of Yin Baiyi's mouth.

In the Evil Realm, many of these Creation Realm martial artists are just trash who only advanced by consuming Realm Fruits.

Even if many people consume Realm Fruits at low ranks and begin self-cultivation at high ranks, they are still far inferior to martial artists who have cultivated on their own from beginning to end.

What is truly precious in the Evil Realm are the Array Masters and the Array Pivot Envoys.

These are the powerhouses who can preserve the safety of the lives in a prefecture or a town.

Very quickly.

All the Array Pivot Envoys, Array Pulse Soldiers, and Array Reserve Soldiers arrived.

When they discovered that the powerhouses of their own families had already submitted to the Black Wind Hall, a look of despair appeared in each of their eyes.

As Array Pivot Envoys, they are official government officials; how could they submit to a Law Enforcer?

They had originally thought Xu Zhifan only wanted to engage in malpractice for personal gain, never expecting that Xu Zhifan wanted to drag everyone into becoming Law Enforcers.

But now, they no longer have any way out.

Many people, no matter how unwilling, could only choose to acknowledge a master.

Wen Jianjian, however, had calmed down, looking at everyone with mockery.

In Wen Jianjian's view, what Yin Baiyi and Xu Zhifan were doing were all useless tasks.

"Child, it is I who have harmed you," the head of the Wen family said, trying to persuade her with earnest words.

Wen Jianjian, however, said with a look of hopelessness:

"Everyone is going to die, everyone is going to die."

She didn't care anymore anyway.

Yin Baiyi noticed Wen Jianjian:

"What do you mean?"

Wen Jianjian looked insane, sweeping a glance at Yin Baiyi:

"Everyone is going to die; He will kill us all."

Yin Baiyi raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Chen Yan?"

Wen Jianjian was stunned:

"You know He is..."

Wen Jianjian opened her mouth, and her lip shape formed the three words 'Ancient Divine Beast'.

Yin Baiyi laughed:

"An Ancient Divine Beast? How could I, this Law Enforcer, not know he is an Ancient Divine Beast?

Have you ever seen an Ancient Divine Beast that could enter the Divine Array Hall?"

Wen Jianjian was stunned, then immediately said:

"He influenced me, he made me fall into an abyss nightmare, he..."

"He is an Eighth Rank, so naturally he can cast powerful illusion arrays to influence you," Xu Zhifan said indifferently.

In an instant.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Wen Jianjian was even frozen in place:

"Eighth... Eighth Rank?"

Yin Baiyi lost interest and said indifferently:

"I'll give you ten breaths of time; if you don't sign, I will send you into the abyss hell right now."

Wen Jianjian's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly said:

"I... I'll sign!"

Very quickly.

Everyone signed the master-acknowledgment array.

Yin Baiyi nodded with satisfaction, waved one hand, and walked toward the Divine Array Hall.

Even if all the Creation Realm experts in the great hall had endless anger in their hearts, at this moment they could only follow Yin Baiyi and leave.

Yin Baiyi's goal was naturally Chen Yan.

Lin Yi and the others want to deal with Ma Zhiyao.

He needs more Creation Realm experts to help suppress Chen Yan.

Although he is confident that he could kill Chen Yan by himself.

But if he can achieve the best result, he will certainly do so.

These Luo Town dignitaries and Array Pivot Envoys who just signed the master-acknowledgment array can be completely used by him as a means to test Chen Yan.

Xu Zhifan followed closely behind Yin Baiyi.

At this moment, seeing Yin Baiyi's methods and dominance, his heart felt slightly more settled.

Even if Chen Yan is an Eighth Rank, he is only an Eighth Rank eroded by malice.

But Yin Baiyi is a genuine Eighth Rank.

More importantly, Yin Baiyi could have conquered his Luo Town long ago, but he has always acted cautiously, made thorough arrangements, and was even able to hide in the mortal world under the identity of the owner of the Knowing Fate Bookstore.

This is what made Xu Zhifan marvel even more.

Such an Eighth Rank, if they do not strike, so be it, but once they do, it is earth-shattering; this is what is most terrifying.

And Chen Yan, although very good at hiding, still does not know that he is already at a dead end.

This is a person who seems smart but is actually stupid.

Xu Zhifan was quite satisfied with his choice for a moment.

…………

At the same time.

"You motherf..."

Black Wind Hall Second Hall Master Lin Yi lay on the ground, his body already hacked into two halves, at this moment crawling desperately toward the front.

Behind him, throughout the entire alley, there were severed corpses and scraps of flesh and blood everywhere, with fresh blood flowing all over the ground.

Peng Linjun was suppressed by gravity and had already passed out.

Ma Zhiyao carried the blood-stained great axe in his hand, limping toward Lin Yi like a walking corpse, until he reached behind Lin Yi.

"Just this many people..."

Ma Zhiyao raised the great axe and hacked down fiercely.

Boom!

Lin Yi's arm was directly severed.

"Just come to kill me!"

Ma Zhiyao's eyes were blood-red as he roared.

Amidst Lin Yi's desperate roar, Ma Zhiyao raised the axe again.

"Do you look down on me?"

Boom!

"Are you bullying me?"

Boom!

"Do you think I'm an idiot!"

Boom!

"I am already a Deputy Envoy, can you give me some face?!"

Boom!

"I!"

Boom!

"When I get ruthless!"

Boom!

"I!"

Boom!

"Am even!"

Boom!

"Afraid!"

Boom!

"Ah!"

Boom!

Ma Zhiyao panted heavily and collapsed to the ground:

"Almost died..."

It was also at this moment.

A voice rang out.

"You scared me so much that I didn't dare to step in and stop you."

Ma Zhiyao was stunned, only to see two figures appear in the alley.

Fang Rui, the Mansion Master of Zhiyang Mansion wearing black armor, was prominently at the front.

"My Lord!"

Ma Zhiyao hurriedly tried to stand up, but the next moment he collapsed from exhaustion and passed out.

Fang Rui watched, wanting to say something but stopping, signaled for someone to look after Ma Zhiyao, then his expression turned cold to the extreme, and he flew into the high sky with Jiang Guanxin, whose face had turned pale, behind him.

At the same time.

Yin Baiyi brought many family heads and Array Pivot Envoys to the entrance of the Divine Array Hall.

Yin Baiyi stood with his hands behind his back, continuously sending out voice transmissions.

Outside the Divine Array Hall, hundreds of Law Enforcers in plain clothes had already surrounded the place, each one prepared for battle.

Yin Baiyi looked at the crowd and said slowly:

"Everyone, what are your thoughts on the Law Enforcers?"

His voice fell, and no one spoke.

They were all Law Enforcers themselves, so how else could they evaluate them.

Wen Jianjian kept looking at Chen Yan's back, the fear in his heart gradually shrinking.
