Wen Family Villa

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Wen Chengxian paced back and forth in the study room, his usually proud face now fraught with panic and unease.

The Four Seas Commerce Association, Blood Hand Mercenary Corps, the Odde Armed Escort Company, Shadow Division... these secret powers have been dismantled, thousands arrested, and what they've done surely cannot be kept hidden.

Wen Zhongli sat in a chair with graying hair, the chief commander of the continent, a legendary figure who fought his way up from the bottom, now appeared like a lost old man, sitting in a daze and silent.

"Dad! Dad! Say something, what should we do now?"

Wen Chengxian came over and grabbed Wen Zhongli's arm, shouting anxiously.

Wen Zhongli's pupils slowly focused, his voice carried a slight tremor:

"Where is Mr. Li? I need to ask his opinion."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, why do you ask him about everything? Who is the head, you or him?"

Wen Chengxian couldn't hold back his anger and rebuked.

In his memory, his father was originally a heroic figure of strength, strategy, and means whom he admired greatly. But since Mr. Li arrived, his father's career indeed progressed smoothly and his influence expanded, yet the towering father gradually changed, losing his own judgment and needing to consult Mr. Li on everything.

Wen Zhongli seemed not to hear Wen Chengxian's words, muttering:

"I need to find Mr. Li; Mr. Li will surely have a solution."

"You..."

Wen Chengxian burned with rage, wishing he could slap this useless father.

Mr. Li?

That guy had already fled long ago.

Tap tap tap

Chaotic footsteps echoed from outside the door.

Wen Chengxian's heart skipped a beat, a hint of panic and fear flitted across his face.

Bam!

The door was violently flung open.

Jiang Chenghai entered the room, swept his gaze over the Wen family father and son, showed his credentials, and said sternly:

"Wen Zhongli, Wen Chengxian, I am Jiang Chenghai, a level-one investigator of the Judgement Court. You are suspected of arms smuggling, assassination of Empire officials, bribery of Military Department officers... and many other charges. Come with me now to undergo investigation."

Upon hearing each charge, Wen Chengxian seemed to have his backbone extracted, collapsing to the ground, face pale.

Wen Zhongli, however, sat dazedly in his chair, murmuring softly:

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li will help me."

......

An hour later

"Mr. Li."

Jiang Chenghai looked at the material confessing Wen Chengxian and Wen Zhongli's misdeeds in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed:

"So the Wen Family had long been infiltrated by this Mr. Li, and Wen Zhongli was merely Mr. Li's puppet, unaware of many things."

"Captain, could these two be pretending, trying to pin the blame on Mr. Li?" a team member speculated.

"Probably not."

Jiang Chenghai shook his head, based on his experience, what the Wen family father and son said was truthful.

One is a high-and-mighty heir, the other a puppet without initiative—their acting was not sophisticated enough to deceive him, a level-one investigator.

Actually, they had been paying attention to Mr. Li before, since he was Wen Zhongli's most important aide, and many things of the Wen Family must involve Mr. Li.

However, to arrest Mr. Li hastily could alert him, pushing the many Wen Family forces to go into hiding and potentially destroy evidence.

So they delayed action and secretly monitored Mr. Li.

On this day, they locked evidence of the Wen Family's crimes, sent one team to arrest the Wen father and son, another to apprehend Mr. Li.

The former operation went smoothly, with the Wen father and son captured and confessing various crimes without reservation.

However, the team sent to capture Mr. Li found nothing.

Though under surveillance, Mr. Li vanished into thin air after entering a room.

"Notify everyone, issue a warrant, block all traffic routes, and ensure this person does not leave Silver Gray Star!"

Jiang Chenghai ordered solemnly, suddenly feeling a surge of unease in his heart.

This unease was precisely brought by Mr. Li.

Having lurked at Wen Zhongli's side for over a decade, transforming an esteemed political figure into a puppet lacking initiative, Mr. Li's skills were indeed terrifying.

Moreover, he drew in Military Department officials, cultivated assassination organizations, smuggled weaponry, turning the continent essentially into the Wen Family's—or Mr. Li's—playground.

If such a threat is allowed to escape, there will surely be other planets suffering this disaster in the future.

Capture him at all costs.

......

Luoyan City, outskirts

One thousand meters underground

Black water thick as tar slowly flowed through meandering grooves, producing a spine-chilling gurgle.

The black water seemed manipulated by evil forces, each surge accumulating ominous energy.

Above ground, bones scattered in chaos yet seemed to follow some eerie order, hollow eye sockets of skulls watching all living things, silently cursing them.

Long bones, short bones intertwined, piecing together complex and sinister patterns, gradually sketching out a massive White Bone Ghost Face Array, its contours ferocious and twisted, teeth of white bone sharp and prominent, as if poised to devour anyone drawing near.

The entire array exuded decay and evil, seemingly from the Nine Netherworld Hell, extinguishing life in its presence; within, countless souls cried and wailed, chilling to the bone.

Above the bone array, a black-robed figure hovered, dozens of Spirit Threads unfurling from his body, outlining Spirit Energy Lines across the ghost face array.

"Judgement Court~"

A raspy voice filled with ice and anger.

In just another half-year, his plan of over a decade would have succeeded. Unexpectedly, at this final juncture, the Judgement Court intervened, overthrowing his long-infested Wen Family.

With substantial evidence and witnesses taken by the Judgement Court, his plan was now at risk of exposure.

With no choice, he must prematurely execute the plan, aiming to complete the final Soul Destruction Array within days.

Soul Destruction, Sea of Blood, Bone Decay, Ghost Fiend

Four arrays unleashed, the Evil God descends.

Fear will sweep the continent; everyone will be consumed by despair and terror.

The souls, blood, and bones of billions are his offering to the Evil God. As the Evil God's most loyal servant, he too will receive his due reward, gaining unimaginable power along with immortality.

Royal Judgement Court?

Ha, just wait.

No one can stop me.

Fear shall descend upon the world!
