My construction materials are weird

This is what distinguishes the Department of Evil Suppression from the Hall of Merit.

Although Bi Xia and the others established the Department of Evil Suppression mainly for their own future, for luck, and to avoid falling behind.

But no one is perfect. They also saw a need, such as the previous act of cleaning up internal corruption. Didn't they see that the Four Great Sects' internal cleanups were always superficial?

Only when Qingyun Mountain has its own law enforcement team can it form a powerful deterrent.

In the past two days, they have at least established a core ideology, which is that everything is for the growth, prosperity, and even continuation of the cultivation world.

How are evil cultivators defined? Are they pests? Does the Department of Evil Suppression need to take action to eliminate them?

This question is crucial.

Bi Xia even maliciously thought that Hall Master Sun Tong wanted the Department of Evil Suppression to appear in order to avoid this problem.

As long as the Department of Evil Suppression exists, the Hall of Merit will not need to wade into these troubled waters.

Although it is the most malicious speculation, this question is valid.

How should the Department of Evil Suppression deal with evil cultivators?

If there is no action at all, is it worthy of the name 'Evil Suppression'?

However, even the Xuanshi do not care about the emergence of evil cultivators, considering it an inevitable dark side. How should the Department of Evil Suppression handle it?

This question is actually very headache-inducing.

Therefore, the establishment of a core ideology is very important. Evil cultivators will only be dealt with if they endanger the growth of the entire cultivation world, and flexibility will be employed.

As a group of very experienced people, they even anticipated that as soon as the Department of Evil Suppression appeared, a group of people would come to complain, accusing evil cultivators, accusing what they considered wrong, accusing what they found displeasing, accusing what they considered unreasonable, and so on.

Without thinking, the complexity of human nature will definitely lead to such people.

How should they face it?

The Department of Evil Suppression is not just about announcing its establishment and being done with it. It also needs to operate, and they must consider this.

If they do nothing, it won't work either.

Even if the complainants are complaining about trivial matters, if you don't care, these complainants will turn love into hatred. They think their affairs are of paramount importance, so how can you be indifferent?

This is hard to explain. Perspective determines one's views. They don't care whether these things are really important or not. As long as it involves them, it is a major event.

The emergence of "Transcendent Technology" can only be said to have come at the perfect time.

At least they have something to do. Dare to be the first to build giant technological cities and develop technological civilization. Isn't this righteous and bright?

So, those of you who complain about your own petty matters should calm down. This Department of Evil Suppression has more important things to do.

It needs to be clarified that it's not that they won't care about anything at all, but that they need to make careful judgments.

If the matters reported by cultivators are truly related to the growth and development of cultivators, the Department of Evil Suppression will not sit idly by.

They are only preventing people with ulterior motives, those who take advantage of the situation.

A message sent to the entire cultivation world suddenly appeared on all cultivators' merit tokens.

A shocking message, a message that made cultivators both happy and worried, a message that was both expected and unexpected.

[With the approval of the Xuanshi, the Department of Evil Suppression has officially become the Qingyun Mountain Department of Evil Suppression, and also the Department of Evil Suppression of the cultivation world, with the same status as the Hall of Merit, becoming one hall and one department of Qingyun Mountain. Grand Manager Sun Tong has officially become the Hall Master of the Hall of Merit, as Sun Hall Master... Bi Xia is appointed as the Minister of the Department of Evil Suppression, and Long Yue is the Deputy Minister... Officially established tomorrow...]

"What?"

"It really happened, this?"

This message immediately spread throughout the cultivation world. The top-level architecture, which had not changed for more than ten years, finally saw a new change.

The Department of Evil Suppression, with Bi Xia as its minister, was officially upgraded to the Department of Evil Suppression of the cultivation world, in charge of judgment, punishment, and other rights.

It has the power of life and death over Purgatory, is responsible to the Xuanshi, and is responsible to the entire cultivation world.

The more top-level cultivators were, the greater the shock. The bottom-level cultivators, on the other hand, did not feel much, after all, this was too far away from them.

For example, the Four Great Sects and Eight Great Clans were most concerned.

Although the emergence of the Department of Evil Suppression was partly due to their promotion, they still found it difficult to calm down in a short time when it really came to fruition.

The purpose of their support was to find an opponent for the Hall of Merit, to share some of the Hall of Merit's power, and to try not to let one family dominate.

This trend is not transferred by individual will, it is a natural instinct.

The Hall of Merit is all good, but after they grow bigger, they will also have this kind of mentality, that is, even if some of their high-level officials do not want to do so, they will be pushed by the general trend and will inevitably take this step.

But when there really appeared an existence that confronted the Hall of Merit, they were still a little flustered.

"Is it really good? Perhaps not necessarily," Yan Lai of the Confucian School headquarters sighed.

He would not forget how the Department of Evil Suppression succeeded. It was the action to clean up internal corruption, and the targets of the cleanup were their own Four Great Sects and other major forces.

It was equivalent to appearing by stepping on the flesh and blood of themselves and others. Although this flesh and blood was rotten flesh and blood and needed to be cleaned up.

But it was their flesh and blood, and there was nothing wrong with that.

In the past, the internal problems of the Four Great Sects were solved by themselves. At most, the Hall of Merit would scold them a few words when they couldn't stand it, which was painless.

But in the future, it will be different. A special department has appeared, specifically to punish them.

At Yan Lai's level, he would not superficially think that the emergence of the Department of Evil Suppression was to deal with some small evil demon heads.

That would be too underestimating the Department of Evil Suppression. If it was for such trivial matters, there would be no need for the Department of Evil Suppression to appear at all. The Hall of Merit could just issue an order.

The real role of the Department of Evil Suppression is to correct the cultivation world, so that it does not grow crooked.

Even to prevent the emergence of class solidification too early and to break the monopoly of some forces, and coincidentally, these forces are themselves.

Simply put, it is aimed at their own major forces.

"This is a department that puts pressure on us!" Yan Lai sighed.

Again, at his level and position, the emergence of the Department of Evil Suppression would not have any impact on him, but the forces he was in might not.

Not to mention anything else, his own people know the virtues of their own people.

It has never changed throughout history. It's not that there are no subordinates with very radical ideas, just like the pedantic and ignorant ruling class scholars throughout history.

Just a single 'The people can be made to follow it, but cannot be made to know it' has countless interpretations, let alone others.

For example, our Confucian School is so strong, why should we tolerate the growth of Buddhism, Taoism, and Martialism? We should exert pressure to suppress them, and it would be best if the Confucian School dominated.

For example, we are the most orthodox descendants of the Xuanshi and the greatest guardians of others. Why can't we obtain greater and stronger rights and still tolerate 'villains' being on par with us?

The villains here are not referring to ordinary people. Understand it yourself.

These arrogant and conceited flaws have long been present. It's just that the higher-ups are still clear-headed, knowing that doing so is impossible and would be met with a collective attack, so they have been suppressing it.

But once a trend emerges, suppression becomes difficult.

Let's differentiate this from mechanical civilization. This is the biggest difference between humans and mechanical civilization. Humans will have different voices, while mechanical civilization is contagious, turning one voice into a collective one.

Getting back to the main point, suppression is ineffective. It might work under the noses of the headquarters, where they can keep an eye on these fools.

However, fools are not only in the headquarters; they are also outside. They have countless disciples and followers.

Some cities are extremely excessive, practically a real-world demonstration of these ideas. Some city leaders are personally putting their ideas into practice.

They suppress the other three factions, attacking them at all costs, wanting to unify the entire city and achieve their own goals.

The reason such things haven't erupted, and the other three factions haven't united in resistance, is because…

Everyone is the same.

It's not just the Confucian school that has fools and madmen; the other three factions have them too, also putting their own ideas of unifying the world into practice. So, no one should laugh at anyone else, and no one should resent anyone else for this. Every family has its own problems.

The four factions tacitly suppress these voices, preventing them from erupting.

Monks, Taoists, martial artists, are no more noble than scholars.

It's all the same. There are plenty of people who overestimate their own abilities.

Without exception, a mistake, a head, a hair, an inside, a face, all in sight!

Weakness is never the greatest crisis for survival; arrogance is.

“Misfortune and fortune always accompany each other. Thinking about it from another perspective, it's also a good thing. A long-term absence of a correction mechanism is also not good. Elimination is necessary for evolution.”

Thinking of this, Yan Lai became much calmer. Nothing is immutable, so face it with equanimity.

His mindset is the same as that of the other three sect leaders and alliance masters, all of whom have thought of this point.

“When it comes to arrogance and conceit, our Martial Dao Alliance is second to none. This is also good. We can't always open our mouths and say, 'I am a direct descendant of the Mystic Master, I am this and that…' This won't do. Impetuosity is a mask for navigating the world, but we can't be truly impetuous.” Sun Hui said.

“Alliance Master is right. I think the emergence of the Demon Suppression Department is a good thing. They can do some things that are inconvenient for us to do. They don't need to explain to us or be responsible to us, just be responsible to the Mystic Master.”

Liu Bi agreed.

Jin Ning, Wu Gang, Song Hongliang, Guan Dao, Divine Spear, and others also agreed.

Even Peng Yue, who happened to be back, expressed his opinion: “Military law is unified. It's not okay to have only the military without laws and regulations. We are like a powerful army, and the Demon Suppression Department is like the law that restrains us, which is crucial.”

He added: “We are indeed direct descendants of the Mystic Master. Previously, our army of direct descendants of the Mystic Master had no military law to restrain us, relying entirely on our own judgment. In the future, we will be more relaxed. It's not that the Demon Suppression Department is so good, but that everyone will understand that there is a pair of judging eyes watching you, and such a deterrent effect is very beneficial.”

“Yes!” Everyone nodded in agreement.

Sun Hui also nodded in agreement and satisfaction.

He was satisfied that the Martial Dao Alliance had greatly changed Peng Yue. He was already referring to "us," which seemed to be a good effect.

Before long, it might be possible to recruit more Martial Temple seniors to join the Martial Dao Alliance and become true members.

Compared to this, the emergence of the Demon Suppression Department was no big deal.

The reactions of the Four Superpowers were generally the same, but the reactions of the Eight Greats were even more extreme.

The Four Superpowers were more regulated because they were powerful, while the Eight Greats were weaker than the Four Superpowers and wanted to catch up, so there were more mistakes and darkness.

This is also inevitable.

Top-tier forces are never simply powerful in terms of strength, but powerful in all aspects.

They also set many standards and morals for themselves because of their strength, which is also a manifestation of strength.

When clothing and food are sufficient, people know honor and disgrace. Those who are struggling to survive don't care so much. Everything is for growth, and the darkness in the process of growth is irrelevant.

They are in such a period of development and growth, so there is more darkness and error than in the Four Superpowers.

The emergence of the Demon Suppression Department was something they had thought of, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

In this way, they had to be more careful and cautious. The crude development and growth had to be restrained a bit, at least to make it passable.

It's like there was a time when the Four Superpowers were still the Four Greats. In an accidental event, the Four Superpowers chose to temporarily retreat and sort out their internal affairs.

They let the Eight Greats preside over the cultivation world.

As a result, the rogue cultivators discovered that the Four Superpowers were wolves, but they were well-fed wolves, who would generously smile at the prey they saw.

The Eight Greats, on the other hand, were ravenous wolves, who would bare their teeth and devour everything without any pretense.

This state is the true state of the Eight Greats.

The Four Superpowers are already full, while they are still fattening themselves, so they are using some dark and cold-blooded methods that the Four Superpowers no longer need.

The emergence of the Demon Suppression Department has the greatest impact on them.

In addition, there was one person who was quite surprised.

He could only sigh that good things take time, but of course, it might also be an opportunity.

This person was Ji Zhongfu. It had been half a year, and his child had been born. The little beauty had given him a son, which made him different.

In the past six months, he had joined the Small World Alliance. The sensation was needless to say. Anyway, there had been too many sensational events in recent centuries, so his joining the Small World Alliance was just so-so.

It didn't attract too much attention.

In the past six months, the Left Dao of the Small World Alliance had been walking on thin ice.

After half a year, they could clearly see Ji Zhongfu's purpose for joining.

Because Ji Zhongfu joined with his reputation and power, as well as the momentum of standing up for the cultivators of the small world, he became the vice-alliance master as soon as he arrived.

This vice-alliance master? Left Dao discovered that this person had the ambition of a wolf.

He came with the intention of taking his position.

Fortunately, he, Left Dao, was not an ordinary person. He was someone who had offered treasures to the Mystic Master. Although he didn't mention it often, he hoped everyone knew.

He wanted everyone to know that he was an alliance master with merit and a background.

But these titles were enough to crush the other small world lords; they were not enough to compete with Ji Zhongfu's reputation.

In half a year, the internal strife within the entire Small World Alliance had become very serious, and nearly half of the high-level members had united behind Ji Zhongfu, making Left Dao precarious.

Unfortunately, Left Dao's Great Azure Province World was not up to par. Those spirit masters and forces of the Azure Province World were still opposing him everywhere and simply wouldn't cooperate with him.

After all, there was hatred from the interception and continuous opposition and non-cooperation.

The forces of the Azure Province Great World were also afraid of Left Dao's cleansing, so they were not of one mind with him and opposed him everywhere.

Unlike Ji Zhongfu's God and Demon World, although the clan members were scattered and joined many forces, the old patriarch was determined to revive the clan and start a new business, and they fully supported him.
