Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 636

“Dragon General, who are they…” Bu Qianfan asked suspiciously.

The Dragon General let out a bitter smile, “Bu Immortal Lord, I know what you want to ask; they are from the Heavenly Execution Pavilion.”

Bu Qianfan’s expression turned strange as he couldn’t help but say, “What exactly is this Heavenly Execution Pavilion? Is it some new department established by the Immortal Court?”

“Watch your words. The Heavenly Execution Pavilion is an organization established with Liu Taishang’s approval, aimed at purging all remnants of the Undying Blood Clan within the Immortal Court. And our Pavilion Master is one of the elders of the Immortal Court, the Eastern Peak Emperor!”

Meng Yi, stepping out of the background, showed a smug expression.

“I see.”

Bu Qianfan was shocked by the changes happening in the Immortal Court.

He hadn’t expected such a big move to happen after the turmoil with the Undying Blood Clan.

While it made sense to tighten the reigns on spies, who the heck are these people?

They looked rather untrustworthy!

Especially the guy in front of him who flaunted his authority; Bu Qianfan felt an overwhelming urge to pull out his sword and slice him right there!

“Since the Heavenly Execution Pavilion has such an important mission, why are you here to check on us? Are you doubting us too?”

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.

“Meng Team Leader, this is the North Cold Immortal Lord,” the Dragon General reminded deliberately.

Meng Yi’s expression shifted slightly as he looked closely at the silver-haired youth and respectfully clasped his hands, “So it’s the renowned Ye Immortal Lord, I’ve long been in awe.”

Meng Yi had heard of Ye Junlin’s exploits far and wide; if it weren’t for Ye Junlin exposing the Undying Blood Clan, he wouldn’t have the position he had today.

Instantly, his attitude softened.

“So, can we leave now?” Ye Junlin asked.

“Of course, you two can leave, but I find this fairy a bit suspicious; it’s necessary for her to undergo an inspection,” Meng Yi turned his focus, feigning seriousness.

After all, his target was Li Ruotong.

If he could get close to such a stunning beauty, he’d have some stories to brag about later over drinks!

“On what grounds?!”

Li Ruotong frowned, visibly displeased.

She could tell that Meng Yi had ill intentions.

“On the grounds that I’m the team leader appointed by the Heavenly Execution Pavilion, you must cooperate with the investigation unconditionally!”

Meng Yi’s smile was suggestive, “Don’t worry, I’m a professional; I can determine if someone is disguising as an Undying Blood Clan member through bone touching. If you cooperate, it proves your identity is innocent, but if you refuse…”

Seeing the raw eagerness in his eyes, Li Ruotong felt extreme disgust and coldly replied,

“If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay with your life!”

A chilling aura pierced through the air, murder intent spilling everywhere.

Meng Yi felt a chill run down his spine and was too scared to approach.

In that moment, he felt utterly humiliated.

Since being appointed as team leader, he had been calling the shots in the Immortal Court without anyone daring to provoke him.

Even some normally haughty fairies had tried to get on his good side.

This was the first time Meng Yi had tasted the sweetness of wielding immense power.

But now, there was a fairy who dared to treat him this way!

Fuming with rage, Meng Yi threatened, “If you refuse to cooperate, the consequences will be dire!”

Li Ruotong coldly replied, “Oh really? I want to see just how dire!”

Bu Qianfan stepped in, angrily rebuking, “Kid, don’t overstep your bounds; are you getting too cocky?”

The Dragon General was startled and quickly reminded, “Don’t be impulsive, the Heavenly Execution Pavilion isn’t to be trifled with, especially in these special times; their power is immense, and anyone they catch is in for it!”

After the last interrogation incident, he still felt the shivers.

“How dare you! The way you’re behaving is definitely connected to the Undying Blood Clan. I, in my capacity as the Heavenly Execution Pavilion’s Team Leader, order you to submit to an investigation immediately! No defiance!”

Meng Yi pulled out his token and shouted angrily, tearing his mask of civility.

Behind him, a dozen members of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion stood at the ready, some even pulling out recording stones to document the scene as evidence.

Seeing Meng Yi’s brazen demeanor, Ye Junlin remained unusually calm: “You’re looking for trouble on purpose, aren’t you?”

Meng Yi, brandishing the token, answered confidently, “Ye Immortal Lord, I respect your great contributions to the Immortal Court, but you need to understand, it all began with this lady…”

Boom!

Before he could finish, Meng Yi burst into a cloud of blood mist, the air filled with a strong metallic smell.

The entire room fell silent.

The Dragon General was dumbfounded.

Nearby officials were equally wide-eyed, sharing the same shocked expression.

Ye Junlin remarked, “Finally, it’s peaceful now.”

As if he had just swatted away a mere insect.

But to everyone else, the implications were worse than the death of an Immortal Emperor!

This was the captain of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion, and in these special circumstances, killing a captain publicly was not just a slap in the face to the Heavenly Execution Pavilion, it was a direct affront to the authority of the Immortal Court!

“Meng Team Leader was killed…” the officials, witnessing this scene, looked horrified, as if they’d encountered a nightmare.

“It’s over, it’s really over,” the Dragon General shivered in fear.

Although this scene was somewhat satisfying, he couldn’t help trembling at the thought of the aftermath.

He was afraid of being implicated and dragged back into that interrogation room again!

Bu Qianfan stood dumbfounded, and then burst into laughter, “Ye Immortal Lord does things so efficiently!”

Li Ruotong’s expression improved a bit; as she looked at that ethereal silver-haired figure, she couldn’t help but think,

“Ye, my friend, is this for me?”

At this moment.

Ye Junlin turned to the other dozen members of the Heavenly Execution Pavilion, meaningfully asking, “Do you all want to end up like him?”

“Our captain has been killed; run!”

One of the men suddenly reacted, shouting in panic.

Instantly, they scattered like birds, scared out of their wits.

“Now that the trouble is resolved, let’s go,” Ye Junlin said calmly.

The Dragon General felt a headache coming on. Are you sure this isn’t a bigger mess?

Did you even consider the repercussions?

“Dragon General, stop looking so glum. I trust that the Immortal Court will see through this,” Bu Qianfan patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

The Dragon General was taken aback, sighing deeply, “Ah, you really don’t know, the Immortal Court has changed so much; even I feel it’s unfamiliar now. I’m just afraid that because of this incident, Ye Immortal Lord will face severe punishment from the Immortal Court…”

“Uh,” Bu Qianfan withdrew his hand, his expression odd.

He really wanted to say, even the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm couldn’t do anything to that man; what’s the Immortal Court to him!

“Hehe, I’ll be watching,” Ye Junlin said with a knowing smile.

His purpose for coming this time was just to sign in for the Immortal Court summit, and as for the so-called Heavenly Execution Pavilion, it was hardly worth mentioning in his eyes.

To put it broader, he didn’t view the entire Immortal Court as a threat at all!
