Qingzhou Firefly Sea!

The thousand-hand centipede descended from the sky, landing in the middle of Lake Heart Island.

In just over a month, the reconstruction and restoration of the former site of Guan Chao Pavilion, which had experienced war, was almost complete, and the traces of war were nearly invisible.

Now, this former site of Guan Chao Pavilion has become the true main base of Ghost Ridge Palace.

As the leader of the Qingzhou Righteous sect, the spiritual vein where their mountain gate is located is also the most rich and abundant in Qingzhou, much better than the underground spirit vein of Ghost Ridge Palace's barren mountains.

Especially since Su Jie fused the dragon vein crystal fruit, which contained the Yang God powerhouse Di Feng, into the underground spirit vein, further enhancing the concentration and quality of spiritual energy it emits underground, the benefits for cultivation are self-evident. Coupled with the various environmental and convenience factors, Ghost Ridge Palace naturally moved their main base to this beautifully situated Firefly Sea. After all, who would prefer to run off to barren mountains when they can live by a scenic plainslake?

However, Ghost Ridge Palace did not abandon their previous place entirely, still leaving a part of their strength there, since Insect Valley is still there, which can be used as a training ground for disciples, and also serves as a retreat path for Ghost Ridge Palace.

Getting off from the thousand-hand centipede, Su Jie saw a graceful figure hurrying over.

"Su Jie, you're finally back."

The one who came was Liu Yingying. Su Jie had been out for more than half a month due to breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

"What happened?"

Originally wanting to share some joy with Liu Yingying, Su Jie noticed something was off about her expression and realized that something must have happened within the sect.

Liu Yingying didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly explained the situation.

"Our plans and arrangements for Qingzhou encountered quite a few issues while you were gone, but most are minor. However, one is quite severe: some Ghost Ridge Palace elders blatantly violated our laws, attacked the common people, and even used them as food and sacrifices to refine insect bodies."

At the end of her narration, Liu Yingying seemed somewhat uneasy, clearly having witnessed some shocking scenes.

Liu Yingying was in charge of Qingzhou's capitalized transformation, specifically dealing with such issues.

After all, others didn't understand the plans Su Jie was executing.

"What about the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Su Jie's eyes turned cold. The Law Enforcement Hall is the unit that belongs to the Sect Master, mainly responsible for the order within the sect. Those who enter it are at least at the sixth level of the Yunling Realm in cultivation, equivalent to the level of inner disciples. Additionally, there are seven Secret Realm Elders, also part of the Law Enforcement Hall, serving under the Sect Master's orders.

"The offenders are elders, and there are many of them. Considering the impact, we've only put a few of the most brazen and unscrupulous elders under house arrest for now."

Liu Yingying handed over some documents, which recorded the heinous crimes committed by those Ghost Ridge Palace elders.

"Order a sect-wide meeting; all disciples must attend."

As Su Jie looked through the documents, his gaze grew colder.

"Yes!"

Beside him, a group of Law Enforcement Hall disciples, sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Su Jie, hurriedly set off to announce the Sect Master's command.

.........

Soon!

The gold-plated copper bell, hanging a yard high at the top of the tower, was struck, and the low hum of this magical treasure broke the silence.

As the echo of the bell died away over the lake, regardless of what they were busy with, the Ghost Ridge Palace disciples and elders paused and gathered at the Martial Arts Arena.

Approximately twenty thousand disciples gathered there; the remainder were mostly scattered throughout Qingzhou, executing Su Jie's transformation plan for Qingzhou.

In the Martial Arts Arena, seventy-two human skin lanterns adorned with thousand-hand centipede totems moved without wind. Su Jie sat on the black iron chair atop a high platform, the thousand-hand centipede coiled in his left hand, his right hand rhythmically tapping the armrest.

Though he said nothing, the invisible murderous aura made the atmosphere terrifyingly silent among the twenty thousand present. Everyone sensed that the Sect Master was in a foul mood and dared not stir up trouble.

After the disciples gathered, the elders appeared one by one, standing in front of their respective disciples.

Then came the three Supreme Elders, Zhang Junwei, Tang Peiqing, and Taoist Qiu.

"Sect Master, all inner disciples have arrived."

Chen Yun stood beside Su Jie, whispering a reminder.

Just as Zhu Zhangqi became the Hall Master of the Puppet Hall, Chen Yun's position rose along with Su Jie's. Though her cultivation only just barely broke into the Secret Realm with the abundant resources provided by Su Jie, her future progress in cultivation may be limited. But as someone who helped Su Jie from the start, she earned his full trust and was tasked with managing the elite forces of the Law Enforcement Hall for Su Jie.

Su Jie nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, pausing for a few seconds especially on several elders.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll keep it brief. I don't know if everyone thinks that after destroying Guan Chao Pavilion, our Ghost Ridge Palace can relax, thinking there are no more worries ahead, losing the motivation to strive and indulging in pleasure, becoming wantonly reckless."

Su Jie began slowly, while below, thousands of disciples and elders listened intently, aware that Su Jie's summons were not merely for idle chatter.

"You see, I've only been away for two weeks, and the sect has already caused quite a few disturbances, openly sabotaging our plans for the future of Ghost Ridge Palace."

Su Jie sneered coldly, his gaze locking onto several elders, directly naming them: "Elder Yin, Elder Li, Elder Tian, Elder Tao, Elder Chen, Elder Qing, come forward and share the magnificent deeds you've accomplished, so that I, as the Sect Master, can also broaden my horizons."

Su Jie's voice was like the ominous wind blowing from the depths of the Demon Cave, and the tension in the air rose sharply. The named elders' hearts almost skipped a beat, their faces turning pale.
