Chapter 1623: Handling It This Way

"Lead the way!" Ye Liuyun ordered, withdrew his pressure, allowing her to stand.

"Yes!" the clerk replied, and immediately led Ye Liuyun and Feng Wanru out of the chamber.

Luo Yurou then took Jin Yuanhui and Piao Yun, taught them the chamber's affairs, and arranged for headquarters to send people to take over.

She also carefully collected the Storage Rings of Wen Tai and others, preparing to hand them to Ye Liuyun.

In less than half a day, the relatives of Wen Tai and others were all dealt with by Feng Wanru.

Afterwards, they went to the chamber of an external faction cooperating with Wen Tai; once inside they opened fire, leaving none alive, and seized all the chamber's resources.

Finally, they also stormed the opposing family and uprooted it completely.

When they rushed back, the new chamber head happened to arrive as well.

The candidates had been selected in advance, so there was no need to find anyone on the spot; they could just be summoned. After Luo Yurou finished the handover, Ye Liuyun and the others left the chamber and hurried to the next city.

"From now on, handle everything like this; no more wasting time on reviews!" Ye Liuyun told Feng Wanru and the others.

In fact, following Feng Wanru's intent also meant acting directly.

Only Luo Yurou wanted to audit first. But after this turmoil, Luo Yurou realized that without a warning these people wouldn't comply, so she said nothing further.

The remaining matters were much simpler.

Whenever Feng Wanru arrived at a chamber, she killed everyone above the Steward rank, leaving none alive.

They had no time for individual inspections. Even some Stewards who cried injustice were still killed without hesitation!

For those minor forces, they wiped them out completely, leaving nothing.

Because their methods were so ruthless and survivors so few, the news only spread after they dealt with over ten chambers.

Moreover, most people learned of it because headquarters frequently dispatched new Administrators and Stewards to various places, prompting inquiries.

Once the news spread, every chamber Administrator and Steward felt uneasy.

They all knew the current chamber head was a woman who acted without hesitation, killing outright. Once she acted, she exterminated entire families, wiping out the whole upper echelon of the chamber, leaving none.

For a time, many chamber Administrators called Feng Wanru a female Asura!

So when they arrived at the remaining target chambers, as soon as they entered, an Administrator with his men fell to the ground begging for mercy! Yet Feng Wanru still killed without pause.

The factions cooperating with them apologized, offered compensation, and even sought acquaintances to plead, all turning to the Danqi Alliance.

But it was of no help; they still could not escape the fate of extermination.

They wanted to resist but lacked strength; they tried to flee but could not leave Zhongyang Dalu, so they could only await death!

The merchant headquarters sent notices to every chamber, telling them they were purging traitors to stabilize morale.

At the same time, each chamber was instructed to conduct self‑inspections; any issues could be dealt with leniently. However, if one concealed or failed to report, the consequences would be their own once discovered by headquarters.

In an instant, many Administrators and Stewards reported past mistakes to headquarters.

But they were not major issues; Ye Liuyun was too lazy to bother, leaving them to Luo Yurou, Jin Yuanhui, and Piao Yun to handle.

The chambers' objectives had been cleared, and the subsequent matters no longer required their involvement.

Feng Wanru followed Ye Liuyun to the next target because she needed to cultivate the Killing Sword Intent.

Three days later, a massive army led by Qin Peng suddenly appeared at the border of Ye Liuyun's territory.

Moreover, when the army arrived, they opened combat without a word.

Ye Liuyun's army was already powerful, and with the surprise assault they uprooted a neighboring marquis's manor completely, annexing its lands into their domain.

The Great Summer Empire, after receiving the information, showed no response.

At this moment, the Crown Prince and Fourth Prince admired their Father King even more.

"Ye Liuyun really made a big move!" the Crown Prince said.

"Perhaps this is only the beginning! According to Father King's words, Ye Liuyun first cleared the intelligence network, then eliminated the traitors, and now has begun the first external battle.

He went through so much trouble; it's definitely not just about beating a single marquis!"

"So we just watch?" the Crown Prince thought, clearly still unable to accept it.

The Fourth Prince sighed and urged the Crown Prince: "Alas! What can be done, can you defeat him? Moreover, he doesn't kill indiscriminately; only those who provoke him suffer retaliation."

Though they were vying for the throne, the matter concerning Ye Liuyun affected the entire empire, so neither dared to use Ye Liuyun to frame the other.

If mishandled, they'd end up losing the grain while trying to steal a chicken!

Ye Liuyun's army then swept through a Prince's domain, likewise wiping the princely manor clean, leaving no one alive.

Opposition voices arose within the empire, complaining that Ye Liuyun's methods were excessively cruel.

But Emperor Xia merely said, "Whoever provokes Ye Liuyun is responsible for themselves! Whoever dislikes them should go ask Ye Liuyun themselves! From now on, the empire will not intervene in Ye Liuyun's affairs!"

Once spoken, the stance was crystal clear. The ministers in court were all shrewd; they understood the Imperial Family's intent.

The few marquises who offended Ye Liuyun now find heaven unresponsive and earth unhelpful. They seek connections to plead with Ye Liuyun, yet no one dares to intervene.

Even if someone reached Ye Liuyun's close ones and spoke to Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun still struck without hesitation.

In the end, three marquises remained; pleading was useless, escape impossible, so they pooled their forces, ready to fight Ye Liuyun to the death.

They even dispatched a hundred thousand soldiers to attack the Danqi Alliance, hoping to force Ye Liuyun to withdraw troops.

They investigated Ye Liuyun; Yi Cheng had defenses they couldn't breach. But the Danqi Alliance only had a few garrison troops. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's parents were still in the Danqi Alliance, so Ye Liuyun would likely send forces to rescue.

However, Ye Liuyun never altered the marching plan, letting Qin Peng deploy Demon Cultivator elite troops and his own three thousand Demon Wolves, personally leading the beasts into battle, annihilating the three‑person coalition without a trace.

When their hundred‑thousand coalition arrived at the Danqi Alliance, its members were also furious.

Dan pills and artifacts are vital resources for any faction, so no major power dared to offend the Danqi Alliance.

But now these three marquises are desperate, unable to control anything else.

The garrisoned Danqi Alliance soldiers numbered less than ten thousand, all relatively inexperienced recruits, unable to stop the massive allied army.
