Chapter 490: Chapter 318: The Immortal God’s Dojo, The Leader of the Human Clan

This slaughter left the entire Qifeng Prefecture in turmoil, shrouded in gloom and fear.

However, Lin Yan was not very satisfied in his heart.

Since the laws of Qifeng Prefecture City were relatively complete and the review of death penalties was quite rigorous,

It involved gathering clues, obtaining evidence, passing judgments by the City Guard Mansion and the Observatory, and verification by the Wutong Temple before a death sentence could be declared.

In reality, for high-ranking officials, whether they were in the Refining Essence Realm or the Qi Refining Realm, as long as they did not lose control or ally with the Tribulation Ash, they were mostly given lighter punishments to preserve the strength of the Human Clan.

But this time, the punishment was slightly harsher.

Many individuals in the Qi Refining Realm were also sent to the execution platform and beheaded.

They were indeed a part of the strength of the Human Clan, considered the backbone.

But their corruption was already beyond redemption.

Thus, in the eyes of the higher-ups, killing them was considered removing a malady, beneficial for the long-term future.

This time, the order came from the Holy Land, to be precise... from the Saint Master!

So this time, the number of people sent to the execution platform was more than in the past!

"It’s still less than I anticipated,"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "Moreover, over here in Qifeng Prefecture, the review of death penalties is indeed quite tedious, several executioners were changed during the process, and the handovers alone took a long time..."

He thought this way, sensing the remaining twenty thousand units of Evil Qi, and silently recited, "It’s also not too bad, there’s still some Evil Qi left to completely advance the Landscaping Technique to Perfection, and when it comes down to it, the gains are even more than from slaying Ghost Gods..."

Slaying powerful enemies required going through intense battles, during which True Qi was frequently expended and needed to be replenished with Evil Qi.

Sometimes, the Evil Qi gained from killing an enemy was just enough to offset the expenditure of True Qi.

Instead, today’s role as an executioner, without much expenditure, was a swift affair of Evil Qi gained with each swing of the sword.

The least gains from this round of executions were from those who had never practiced martial arts, using their power to seize benefits, treating human lives like grass.

And the highest gains were, of course, from the warriors in the Qi Refinement Realm.

"However, the two are not comparable."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "After all, slaying enemies inherently requires expending oneself, even to the point of risking one’s life, bleeding dry, and striving hard... That I can obtain Evil Qi and recover my expenditure, even turning a profit, is truly a unique blessing."

Thinking this, he had already arrived at a residence in the inner city.

This was once Mr. Lu’s residence.

But this residence now belonged to the Wutong Temple.

After Mr. Lu was stripped of his position as Great Temple Priest and before being demoted to High Willow City, he moved here with the approval of Lu Changsheng.

If described using the architectural style of High Willow City, this belonged to a complex with a main building surrounded by wings on either side, and annex buildings on both sides of the courtyard, with a reverse building opposite the main building.

For major families, it was rather modest, but for ordinary folk, it was a lifetime goal hard to achieve.

"Look at this feat..." Duke Murky Spirit’s voice came, saying, "Not knowing better, one would think you’ve moved into a palace..."

"You don’t know, my family’s ancestral home was a small tile-roofed house, originally cramped with three generations living together," Lin Lei said with a laugh. "I built a house a few years back with three rooms and a small courtyard behind it, which was already considered bringing honor to my ancestors. I’ve never lived in such a properly scaled courtyard like this."

"I heard that the house of the Deputy City Governor Shi, confiscated yesterday, is a grand six-courtyard mansion," Duke Murky Spirit said. "With Lin Yan’s abilities, without needing to spend a single Silver Tael, every family in the Prefecture City would compete to offer him a big mansion... Why not just let the City Guard Mansion gift you the Shi family’s mansion?"

"That wouldn’t do, it’s easy to adjust from frugality to luxury, but hard to go back," Lin Lei shook his head slightly and said, "It’s enough if it fits the family. To me, having a too large, too spacious courtyard isn’t as good as building several small ones that can house more families... There are plenty of refugees outside the city."

"..."

Lin Yan suddenly paused his steps, his eyes narrowing slightly as if contemplating something upon hearing this statement.

After a moment, he continued walking in.

At that instant, Duke Murky Spirit, seemingly perceptive, glanced over Lin Yan.

"You’ve killed so many people, causing the entire Qifeng Prefecture City to panic, yet you remain so composed, showing no signs of being enveloped by the killing intent, not even the smell of blood lingers,"

Duke Murky Spirit said with a laugh.

Lin Lei looked concerned, whispering, "Even though those killed deserved to die and you’re just following orders and administering justice, you should still be cautious, to avoid losing control! Also, the powers within the Prefecture City are deeply intertwined; killing too many might inevitably lead to resentment from their clans and kin..."

"Once the killing is done, I’ll just leave; I have no plans to settle in the Prefecture City, so there’s no fear of resentment."

Lin Yan replied with a smile, then added, "Besides, even if I were to stay in the Prefecture City, Wu Chang of the Observatory has always been a lone wolf, he doesn’t fear them!"

——

Night fell.

Lu Changsheng made a personal visit.

Wu Chang was supposed to reside in the Observatory, but Lin Lei, being Mr. Lu’s disciple, made it perfectly reasonable for him to be arranged in this residence.

"Your Landscaping Technique, has it truly succeeded?" Lu Changsheng began directly upon arriving at Lin Yan.

"If I were at the stage of Peak Primordial Spirit tonight, I could start building the Inner Realm Divine Domain," Lin Yan replied calmly, "I’ve thoroughly mastered this technique, and with the Power of Primordial Spirit, I’m fully confident that I can complete the Creation. It’s just a pity that for now my foundation is insufficient..."

"About this technique, I’m already informed," Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, pondering. "I can hardly imagine what method could allow you to succeed in Creation without having reached the Primordial Spirit!"

"The Wutong Divine Mother can’t help either?" Duke Murk
