Everyone, I have come here on the orders of the Emperor, and I have the right to conduct a life and death investigation. Right now, it is an extraordinary period, and the situation in the Liangzhou region has become chaotic, so we must immediately clear our army's mind and pacify the people, as well as exterminate the evil, and exterminate the devils. We must ensure the stability of the Liangzhou as well as the extermination of the three barbarians.

Li Muyue shouted loudly, suppressing the whispers in the crowd. She raised her voice even higher, her tone was extremely fierce, causing the scene to turn silent. The hearts of the officials were pounding, and they were at a loss of what to do.

"Princess Mu Yue, you don't need to be so anxious about handling a errand. You and Old Thirty-six are chosen by Imperial Father to be the leading personnel in pacifying the chaos in Liangzhou. With you two here, those evil barbarians will be wiped out in an instant." The Second Prince directed his gaze towards Li Muyue and interrupted her: "I have full confidence in you two. I presume that Old Thirty-sixth has already planned this out."

This time, Imperial Father asked me to follow him in handling the errands because he wanted me to sharpen myself a little. I did not dare to boast, so I decided to leave everything to Princess Mu Yue. Hong Yu shook his head and continued, "Actually, Second Brother, you have calculated everything and have governed the entire Liang Prefecture for many years. You know your limits and are familiar with the affairs of the land. It seems that you are more confident."

Hong Yu was not stupid. He could naturally see that his second brother Hong Futian's words were a blatant provocation and a provocation.

Facing this person, he was not fooled at all, just a few words were enough to push him away, while his words also hinted at his own incompetence. Although this was a disgrace to himself, it was also a way to hide his strength, and the current situation was not something that he could control with his own ability, he could only bury himself deeply, in order to gradually gain a foothold.

"This guy is devious!"

After interacting with him for a while, he gradually realized that Hong Yu was actually quite intelligent. Originally, he wanted to lift Hong Yu high up in the air and then take the opportunity to provoke him into sending him to his death.

However, he never would have thought that Hong Yu would lower himself so much that he would act so shamelessly. He wanted everyone to think that he was incompetent and unworthy, that he would be able to stay out of this, sit on the sidelines and watch the battle, and lie down and listen to the flow.

What made Hong Futian even angrier was that in the end, Hong Yu had openly scolded him and had faintly pointed out that his treatment of the land was disadvantageous to him.

With just a few words, wisdom could be seen everywhere. Even Hong Futian felt a deep fear. He hated Hong Futian so much that his teeth itched. He became even more murderous and wanted to kill him as soon as possible!

"Alright!" "There's no need to argue. It's time for us to discuss proper business." Li Muyue saw the two of them arguing and felt that the time was ripe, so she gave the order.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the palace became tense and quiet. The officials were agitated, realizing that a crisis was approaching.

"Jingxian County, Long County, Fengyang County …" The seventeen prefectures that I have read about, all of you stand out for me. " Li Muyue's gaze was like lightning as she swept her gaze across the crowd. Her mouth revealed a series of names, scaring all the officials who were called out. They all stood out from the crowd, their eyes filled with fear and unease.

Seeing that seventeen officials had stood up consecutively, Li Muyue was enraged, "Since last month, the Lifeless and Vacuum Sects have bewitched the fanatic believers of Dragon County. They have led the foolish citizens into chaos, and they even have experts from the Goliath race secretly supporting them. Fengyang County, Jingxian County … Are the remaining county governors pigs? Even when the Demonic Sect spread to the other seventeen counties, in just one month, hundreds of thousands of people had already been killed and refined into pills. This is what you call psoriasis? Then let me ask you, what is the true great calamity? Must be the downfall of the nation, and the rivers and mountains no longer? "

One by one, the county lords were scolded by Li Muyue as she pointed at their noses. They did not dare to say a word. Like ostriches, they buried their heads deep in the ground as their bodies trembled.

After losing control of the land, and being massacred by the demonic sects of hundreds of thousands of people, if Li Muyue really wanted to investigate this matter, they would have no chance of survival.

"The Evil Sect has great influence, somehow they have already grasped the method of refining the liver pills, digging out the gallbladder of a stranger can make them into the liver pills, as long as you kill people while concocting pills, you can turn a large number of evil followers into fearless tiger and wolf warriors, the liver pills can also replace the role of food, every single pill can make one feel hungry, so the evil followers do not need to carry any heavy supplies, their mobility is strong, the imperial army simply cannot completely exterminate them." At this moment, the county governor of Long County had stepped forward. His expression was calm, but he was not nervous. "The Demonic Sect has become a powerful force. There are many experts amongst them, and the bandit leader is a criminal wanted by the imperial government for fifty to sixty years. His cultivation is astounding and far beyond what we can handle."

"Humph!" Even if you're right, how do you explain the remaining sixteen counties? And why didn't you report it when the cult was in disarray? Are you afraid the court will dismiss you for a crime? " Li Muyue's voice was like a string of cannons, becoming more and more fierce, causing many officials to tremble in fear.

"That's not the case." "At that time, the imperial government was spreading rumors about His Majesty's policy of recruiting the barbarians. The officials were discussing the overall situation and feared that if the news of the cult's intervention were to spread, it would cause panic among the people and destabilize the situation. This was the result of discussions among the county governor of the seventeen prefectures.

"This is all for the sake of the greater good. The Demonic Sect's influence is great, and we must gather the strength of seventeen countries before we can eliminate them."

"Yes, this is an initiative that we have discussed. Unless you kill all seventeen of us. "

The other county governor's eyes lit up as he constantly echoed the words of this person. He understood the meaning behind the man's words; if the seventeen county lords were to be linked together and be disgraced, it would definitely be a heinous crime. However, if everyone made a wrong judgement, it would lead to a grave mistake.

"..."

"You're all useless fools. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you just because you don't punish me?"

Li Muyue laughed out of anger and her killing intent was cold, "You seventeen all deserve death, so you missed the opportunity to watch the cult grow. As a result, several hundred thousand citizens of seventeen countries were massacred, and this kind of heavy and tragic matter was avoided by you unjustly saying a single sentence. Men, seize all of them!"

"Wait!" The second, Hong Lingtian's, face turned black as he issued a restraining shout.

Immediately, the two of them clashed, exchanging blows within the palace.
