Three days later, the issues related to the aftermath of eliminating the celestial god faction were mostly dealt with.
Under the orders of Fang Yuqiong, the recent relocation of personnel and materials from Beijing to the Layered Battlefield was reversed once again—they were moved back to Beijing.
This move seemed unwise, as it appeared to waste manpower and resources. However, after Wen Yu personally inspected Beijing, he understood Lin Haifeng's plan.
The black tortoise transformation of the entire Beijing had been completed, and the transformation of the Eternal Sky City was already more than halfway done. Coupled with the well-maintained infrastructure within Beijing, it was indeed better to return than to establish a new main city at the Layered Battlefield.
Moreover, sending non-combat personnel to the Layered Battlefield served no real purpose.
It was not until all the high-ranking officials dispatched from Beijing returned that Fran issued a notification to all the high-ranking officials, indicating that there was something important to announce.
...
The afternoon of that day arrived.
In the first conference hall of the Beijing gathering place, luxury cars and beasts came to a stop at the entrance of the hall as powerful high-ranking officials filed into the hall one after another, taking their seats in order.
Fang Bai, Lin Que, Lin Tianxue, Qin Tian, Arthur, Caius...
They whispered among themselves, seemingly discussing the topic of this meeting.
About 30 minutes later, all attendees had arrived, and Wen Yu, Fran, Fang Yuqiong... along with Li Quan'an, gracefully walked into the hall.
The few of them took their seats—Wen Yu sat in the center, Fran on Wen Yu's left, Fang Yuqiong on his right, and Li Quan'an stood beside them, seemingly like a sinner awaiting judgment.
As the few of them arrived, the hall gradually quieted down.
Until Fran spoke up.
"The first matter is regarding the hidden agents the celestial god has placed within our ranks."
The first step was to initiate a purge—even though the celestial god had fallen, the hidden agents left behind could not be ignored.
Having proven their disloyalty, there was no reason to keep them around.
As soon as Fran finished speaking, Wen Yu made his move, and a faint black light shot out, transforming into ropes that swiftly wrapped around the bodies of more than ten individuals in the audience.
"Lord Fran, what is this...?"
"This is an injustice, my lord!"
"My lord, please show mercy, we were forced into this!"
Fran remained silent, while Wen Yu merely tugged lightly, instantly bringing these individuals beside him.
His eyes shone with light as dream sculpting was activated, and within a short time, the thoughts of these individuals were seamlessly projected into Wen Yu's mind.
"Crack!"
The dark energy surged!
Thirteen ropes instantly shattered ten of them, and correspondingly, the undercover agents wrapped within those ten ropes were instantly obliterated, leaving only three remaining who collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"The dead ones are undoubtedly spies, while the living ones are merely followers who got carried away—nothing too grave," Wen Yu said calmly.
Fran nodded in understanding, and the three who were spared immediately felt as if they had received a reprieve, slinking back to their seats with their heads down like ostriches.
The scene of Wen Yu killing others did not provoke any discontent from the others present; they quietly sat in their seats—these people were indifferent to life and death and were quite loyal to Beijing.
Spies deserved to die, and traitors could never be redeemed; that was the rule, and it was called justice!
After dealing with this small matter, Fran spoke again.
"The second matter concerns this operation."
As soon as Fran finished speaking, murmurs of discussion arose from the audience.
...
Eliminating the celestial god and the earth's will in one fell swoop was Lin Haifeng's scheme and the fruit of his labor, yet how much had been sacrificed and how many difficulties faced throughout the process were unknown to the others.
