A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Holy crap!

Deputy Director Liu cursed under his breath.

Apart from Azi, who was specially released to turn herself in and report the crime, Ji Zuodao didn't leave any of the remaining members of the Hehuan Sect in Jinghai!

Moreover, Ah Zi has a lot of blood on her hands and dirty deeds, and the evidence is conclusive. In a few days, she will probably be sent to the execution ground and eaten a peanut.

This is... they wiped out the entire Jinghai branch of the Hehuan Sect, from top to bottom.

Further down the page, the report mentions it only briefly:

"During the operation, a number of assets involved in the case were seized in accordance with the law, including a property involved in the case, a batch of Gu worm samples and unidentified materials, which have been properly stored."

Deputy Director Liu's lips twitched.

"Confiscated in accordance with the law"?

"Keep it safe"?

Why doesn't he believe it?

Based on his understanding of Ji Zuodao and the teachings he received from Ji Zuodao's three masters, he estimated that of the confiscated items, probably less than one in ten would be preserved intact.

The remaining 99% probably already ended up in the stomachs of that kid and the dog beside him, or became his cultivation resources.

Deputy Director Liu put down the report, leaned back heavily in his chair, exhaled a long breath, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.

My head hurts, it really hurts.

That's far too murderous.

His grandma's.

Did the fireworks set off at the Wang family's house upset this kid?

Deputy Director Liu picked up the report again, squinted, and quickly scanned it from beginning to end.

Then, he fell silent.

Putting aside the overwhelming stench of blood and the "cannibalistic" nature of the crime, looking solely at the report text, the operational procedures, and the chain of evidence...

I can't find a single flaw!

Upon receiving a tip, we verified and investigated, obtained crucial evidence, discovered the core hideout, encountered violent resistance during the operation, and were forced to subdue and kill the main suspect. Following the clues, we uncovered a list of accomplices, systematically eliminated them, and seized their illegal gains...

The logic is closed, the evidence is conclusive, and the procedure fully complies with the internal regulations of Bureau 749 and external law enforcement norms.

As for the brutality of the methods? The other side violently resisted the law, and we were forced to take necessary measures. What's wrong with that?

Deputy Director Liu could even imagine what would happen if someone questioned the excessive killing.

Ji Zuodao will probably stare at his seemingly innocent eyes with a look of "I was just following the rules. They attacked first, what could I do?"

"call……"

Deputy Director Liu rubbed his temples, a look of mixed amusement and deep apprehension on his face.

No wonder he's a disciple taught by those three masters.

He appears to be ruthless and malevolent, with a simple, brutal, and uncompromising style of doing things.

But if you really think he's a brute who only knows how to kill, then you're sorely mistaken.

This kid's recklessness is built on absolute calculation, precise crossing of the line, and extreme utilization of the rules.

He was eating with his mouth full of oil, and you still had to hold your nose and give him a banner that read "Enforcement Vanguard".

"That's incredible..."

Deputy Director Liu muttered to himself, his gaze once again fixed on the deep night outside the window.

Although this method is a bit horrifying.

But the result was good.

The Qi cultivator circle in Jinghai really needs such a sharp, almost chilling blade to scrape away the years of accumulated filth and festering sores.

He glanced at the time and turned off the office lights.

The night remained deep, but the filth in some corners had already been burned away by a violent fire.

The news that the Hehuan Sect's territory in Jinghai had been completely wiped out quickly spread throughout the Qi cultivator community.

The incident started when a few lucky individuals who had slipped out to meet their lovers and narrowly escaped death sneaked back to their hideout at dawn. When they opened the door, they were dumbfounded.

The stronghold was eerily empty. There wasn't a soul in sight, not even a decent table or chair. It was so clean it looked like it had been swept away by a swarm of locusts that hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, with not a speck of dust left on the ground.

The men's hearts skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They scrambled to check the surveillance footage.

When I saw the surveillance footage, my legs went weak and my crotch was soaked.

The person actually emerged directly from a secret teleportation array set up by their own Hehuan Sect.

A young-looking man wearing a black trench coat.

A black dog of considerable size.

There was also a little zombie dressed in a strange official's robe with a yellow talisman stuck to its forehead.

At the start, small zombies and ice mages seal the entrance, while black dogs roar and drive away the crowd.

The young man in the black trench coat was the last to step forward and finish things up.

His methods are ruthless, even more so than those of the King of Hell.

The entire process—from pulling out tendons and peeling skin to removing bones and slicing flesh—was performed with such skill that it sent chills down your spine.

After finishing the work, I also ransacked the house.

They scraped the ground three feet deep, cleaning it thoroughly.

All done, the man, the dog, and the zombie, with their bulging loot, took the teleportation array to the next location.

Several surveillance clips, with the beginning and end cut off but the key scenes clearly visible, were somehow obtained and quietly circulated among Qi practitioners.

This caused an uproar in the industry.

"Holy crap! Really? They wiped it all out? Not a single outpost left?"

"It's absolutely true! My second great-uncle's third grandson's Daoist partner's sister runs a shop next to that 'Drunken Dream Pavilion,' and she said she heard screams last night."

"I watched the video... Damn, that technique... is it some kind of heretical practice?"

"What evil cultivation! Didn't you see the 749 epaulet on his shoulder? That's an investigator enforcing the law! Don't you understand law enforcement?!"

"This is law enforcement? This is a slaughterhouse assembly line!"

"A living Yama...it's definitely a living Yama being reborn! Bureau 749 is trying to establish its authority! Are they going to take action against us sect cultivators?"

Panic spread like a plague.

Many small sects, small families, and even some rogue cultivators with questionable backgrounds began to feel insecure, frantically inquiring about the investigator's background, fearing they would be next.

Just as the rumors were getting worse, the official announcement from the Jinghai Branch of the 749 Bureau was released precisely at 9:00 AM through several internal and semi-public channels.

The announcement was carefully worded.

The case was briefly described:

Upon receiving a report, an investigation revealed that members of the Hehuan Sect in Jinghai were suspected of using an illegal drug called "Jile Dan" containing "Erosion Gu" to control and persecute others for a long period of time, illegally amass wealth, and endanger public safety. The evidence is conclusive.

Our bureau lawfully searched the relevant locations involved in the case, but encountered violent resistance. Law enforcement officers were forced to take decisive measures, subduing the main suspects, Shi and Lin, and dismantling their criminal network. The case is currently under further investigation.

The announcement concluded by reiterating the determination to maintain harmony and stability between the spiritual community and secular society, and warning lawbreakers not to break the law.

Finally, a description of the characteristics and dangers of the "Spirit-Eating Gu" was also included.

The moment this announcement was released, the tide turned.

What started as fear and suspicion has now turned into uproar and lingering apprehension.

"Spirit-Eating Gu? It can turn people into empty shells of living corpses? The Joyful Union Sect is that ruthless?"

"No wonder Old Wang was so obsessed the other day, almost emptying his pockets. Turns out he won this stuff?"

"Damn the Hehuan Sect! I used to think they were just a slightly more expensive entertainment industry!"

Especially some of the middle and upper-level cultivators who were once frequent visitors to the Hehuan Sect, or even a few marginal figures within the system, turned green with shock when they saw the announcement and the evidence.

In a short time, the number of patients seeking treatment for "difficult and complicated diseases" and "examination for Gu worms" at various Qi-cultivating medical clinics in Jinghai increased dramatically.

On the streets and in the alleys, during leisure time, the topic of conversation is no longer how terrifying the Living Yama is, but how deserving the Hehuan Sect is to die, and how timely and correct the 749 Bureau's operation was.

Of course, in private, legends about the young man in the black trench coat, the dog, and the little zombie continued to circulate quietly in the shadows, becoming more and more fantastical with each passing day.

On the surface, however, no one dared to utter a single word against Bureau 749.

The sky over the lunar maria seemed to have been washed clean of the accumulated grime after a night of storm, appearing exceptionally clear.

Under this clear sky, only they themselves know how many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief and how many couldn't sleep at night.
