Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing successfully cracked down on corruption and espionage within the East Sea Alliance, enforcing strict discipline across multiple islands and wiping out hundreds of spies. After six months, the Law Enforcement Hall's authority was fully established, and Li Yunjing met with the Saint Sound Fairy to discuss the improved state of affairs.

"Duty calls, it’s nothing worth mentioning."

Li Yunjing drank tea indifferently, and said, "Good tea!"

"It’s just... the power of the Law Enforcement Hall is growing increasingly strong, even bypassing various factions to deal directly with cultivators. Isn’t it a bit... too domineering?"

Saint Sound Fairy’s eyes gleamed slightly, with a seemingly half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing felt a hitch in his heart.

This alliance format, it’s most afraid of such matters.

Internal strife and scheming, everything would be ruined.

Regarding such matters, Li Yunjing must take it seriously.

Today, only the Saint Sound Fairy asked, but in reality, other masters within the alliance are likely restless as well, right?

"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things."

Li Yunjing put down the tea cup and looked directly at her: "If ’Holy Sound Sect’ finds it inappropriate, feel free to voice it, the alliance will consider."

Saint Sound Fairy chuckled lightly, her tone soft yet full of implicit meaning: "Fellow Daoist Li misunderstood, I am only worried that excessive concentration of power leads to unforeseen changes."

"The Law Enforcement Hall is managed by six people, balancing each other, what unforeseen changes could there be?"

Li Yunjing’s expression remained unchanged: "Could it be... Holy Sound Sect has doubts about the alliance’s decisions?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly tightened.

Saint Sound Fairy lightly tapped the table with her fingertip, a sound wave dissipating, alleviating the invisible pressure.

"Fellow Daoist Li is overthinking, since ’Holy Sound Sect’ joined the alliance, it should work together wholeheartedly."

Seeing Li Yunjing was not going to relent, Saint Sound Fairy had to switch topics, "It’s just that recently ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ seems to have moved, front line pressure has doubled, does Fellow Daoist have any countermeasures?"

Saint Sound Fairy’s initial probing was quite straightforward!

Among the top members of the Law Enforcement Hall, five are from the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’, one is hers, and another from the ’Feiyun Sect’.

From Liao Wanqing, she had already learned many details and understood how beneficial the Law Enforcement Hall is.

This woman naturally wanted greater authority from Li Yunjing.

Unfortunately, her probing was blocked by Li Yunjing’s righteous response.

Now was not the time to fall out, Saint Sound Fairy still needed to rely on the ’East Sea Alliance’ to fend off the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’s’ forces, so she naturally would not argue with Li Yunjing further.

"Soldiers will deal with any force that comes, water covers any land that comes."

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and said calmly: "If ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ dares to invade, we’ll make sure they never return."

This formidable woman finally restrained her ambitions and was no longer aggressive.

"With Fellow Daoist Li overseeing, naturally there is no worry."

Saint Sound Fairy nodded slightly: "However..."

She paused, a hint of depth flashing in her eyes: "My sect recently detected that ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ seems to have colluded with ’Netherworld Sea’, if they truly engage that ’Netherworld Ancestor’, I’m afraid..."

"Netherworld Ancestor?"

Li Yunjing’s gaze sharpened: "That Nascent Soul Great Perfection demon cultivator?"

"Indeed."

Saint Sound Fairy sighed lightly: "This person’s cultivation is overpowering, if he intervenes, the battlefield may change drastically."

"’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ wouldn’t be so unwise as to collaborate with demon cultivators, would they?"

Li Yunjing was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Besides, even if he emerges, our sect’s Five Elements Master can match him!"

"’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is indeed imposing."

Saint Sound Fairy looked at him deeply, her smile growing: "If so, ’Holy Sound Sect’ will naturally cooperate wholeheartedly."

After leaving the ’Holy Sound Sect’, Li Yunjing’s face turned instantly gloomy.

He returned to the ’Star Moon Trading House No.5’, a flicker of coldness in his eyes.

"This Saint Sound Fairy, her ambitions are not small..."

He knew clearly, today’s probing was no coincidence.

The power struggle within the Law Enforcement Hall was likely already a hidden undercurrent within the alliance.

"It seems preparations need to be made early."

Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, took out a communication jade scroll, and said gravely: "Netherworld Ancestor, disciple Li Yunjing, requests your presence at the ’Star Moon Trading House’ for a discussion."

Half a day later, in the secret room of the branch courtyard of the ’Star Moon Trading House’.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, what happened?"

Nine Netherworld Master hurried in, still carrying traces of confusion on her face.

She had been on the front line recently, organizing the army and rehearsing arrays for nearly a year, aware of Li Yunjing’s arrival at the ’Holy Sound Sea Region’, but had not met him.

Today, Li Yunjing suddenly sent her a message, indicating something’s wrong.

"Ancestor, please sit! There indeed happened one matter today."

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, "Just now, Saint Sound Fairy tested regarding the Netherworld Ancestor matter, actually trying to use the opportunity to expand ’Holy Sound Sect’s’ influence in the alliance."

"These people! Facing a formidable adversary yet still thinking about power grabbing!"

Nine Netherworld Master said coldly upon hearing.

"Ancestor, now is not the time to be angry."

Li Yunjing raised his hand to stop, "The critical task now is I want to ask Ancestor to join the Law Enforcement Hall, at least to hold a position, to deter all parties."

"Understood."

Nine Netherworld Master nodded, realizing why Li Yunjing sought her.

In the ’Holy Sound Sea Region’, Nine Netherworld Master’s cultivation was top-tier, plus the identity of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’.

Once she joined the Law Enforcement Hall, she practically acquired real power, leaving no opportunity for others to interfere.

While Li Yunjing devised countermeasures, a shocking news suddenly arrived.

’Bibo Island’ was attacked. Fortunately, Bibo Immortals, having claimed leisure status, did not leave their territory, or the trouble would be significant.

"What?"

Li Yunjing slammed the table, "Can you find out who did it?"

The disciple delivering the message looked pale: "The site remains filled with dense demonic qi; according to Bibo Immortals’ description, the attacker rode blood clouds, leaving destruction in their wake... It seems it’s the work of ’Blood Saber Sect’."
