Chapter 982: Chapter 640 Listen to Officer Shen_3

```

As if understanding the character of the person, the remaining people also used their means, quickly following after him.

Upon reaching the bottom of the cliff, they discovered that the vast Golden Jade Ancient Tree had long been fashioned into something akin to a grand hall for worship, with Precious Jade as bricks, a luxurious avenue was paved.

Perhaps because the Immortal Official had descended today, the doors were temporarily closed, giving off a somewhat deserted atmosphere.

"What are you going to show us?"

Meng Xiuwen looked around casually, feeling nothing out of the ordinary.

To say nothing of Demon Slayers, practically every Cultivator in the trifecta of prefectures with a bit of Boundary knowledge was well aware of this.

The White Cloud Sect invited those naturally endowed with the Yang Fire Physique to come and worship the tree fairy here, granting benefits while, with some luck, offering a chance to join the sect.

The main purpose was to use the Yang Fire Physique to help the Golden Jade Ancient Tree produce Heaven and Earth Treasures faster.

How should this be put?

It’s a willing sacrifice for a willing sufferer; the common folk might lose some Lifespan Years but also gain tangible benefits. If they were inducted into the sect, the loss in Lifespan Years from the ritual sacrifice could be easily replenished.

Even if the celestial dynasty wanted to interfere, those commoners would not stand for it.

Moreover, those with this physique were already rare.

It even became a topic of interest locally.

"In recent years, the White Cloud Sect has researched a method of temporarily granting pseudo Yang Fire Physique to mortals with the aid of Heaven and Earth Treasures, achieving an effect akin to the real thing."

The black-bearded man had obviously done his research and spoke indifferently, "The downside is that this physique will lose its effect within three to five months."

He slowly strolled forward, pushing open the majestic doors of the Tree Palace.

After hearing these two sentences.

The expressions of everyone present had begun to change subtly; such a costly and temporarily effective method, if one wanted to make the most of it, there was only one path to take.

Use it all in one go.

The black-bearded man gently rubbed his fingers, looking forward.

In the dim and vast interior of the Tree Palace, dense vines covered the entire wall, and on each vine hung a withered corpse.

The faces of the corpses all bore a uniform look of reverence and ecstatic joy, countless dried bodies, all with such strange expressions, staring uniformly downward, inexplicably sending chills down one’s spine.

What once required great fortune to have, the physique that allowed one to trade with the White Cloud Cave’s cultivators for benefits and prospects.

Now one could have it themselves.

What a surprise, what a blessing from ancestors!

A few Demon Slayers stood silently in the hall, their eyes brimming with surging killing intent.

But soon, even the most impulsive Meng Xiuwen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The true gods still stood suspended in the heavens.

The Imperial Edict in hand was the Immortal Court Jade Order.

Once the opponent finished reading the Jade Decree, the White Cloud Cave had received the grace of the Immortal Court, it was a done deal.

The discovery came too late.

"Notify the Magistrates in all places, post a notice, forbid further worship of the tree fairy, report back to the Generals on how punishment should be dealt with, and let those above handle it."

The black-bearded man exhaled, releasing his palms and turning back to look at the others, "This is my opinion, what do you think?"

Regardless, prevent this from continuing first and minimize the losses.

"Do as you say," Mei Jiyao slowly turned around.

Consequently, the gaze of those present fell upon Meng Xiuwen.

"..."

Meng Xiuwen opened his eyes, his expression dark, evidently struggling with his rage, but then he turned to look at Shen Yi beside him, "Officer Shen?"

No sooner had he spoken, than Mei Jiyao and the other Demon Slayers, as well as the black-bearded man, all showed a look of surprise.

If it were simply a motion to dismiss from office, an actual going through the motions,

Then this statement seemed somewhat inappropriate.

So...

Mei Jiyao’s expression turned odd as she looked back at the young man in front of her. Was he truly the Demon Slayer Officer of Jianyang Prefecture in every sense of the word?

Under everyone’s scrutiny, Shen Yi turned to look outside the hall.

There, a young Disciple was trembling, staring in at them, instinctively turning to leave and wanting to shout.

Pfft!

However, as soon as he took a step, his body seemed to be crushed by an invisible hand from above; before his foot could even land, he was reduced to a pile of flesh in a breath’s time from head to foot!

The faces of the people changed abruptly, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at the youth in dark clothes.

Shen Yi slowly withdrew his hand, his fair face betraying neither joy nor anger.

But with the most decisive action, he answered Meng Xiuwen’s question.
