#248 - Qin Buyi, the Minister of Justice (Part 1)

Ying Zhi said, "I think it's quite normal. Brother Qin's strike was quite powerful."

"But he didn't attack me, so why should I be surprised?"

Ying Zhi's words left Ying Gan speechless.

Ying Gan, seeing Ying Zhi's calmness, suddenly wanted to beat him up.

Qin Bu Yi's strike had startled him quite a bit.

In Qin Bu Yi's strike, he actually felt a faint threat.

This was an incredible thing. A mid-stage Mahayana Realm cultivator being able to threaten an early-stage Half-Immortal Realm cultivator was something no one would believe.

Qin Bu Yi sheathed the Killing Blade and scanned the surroundings, saying to He Yan:

"Dean He Yan, the expressions on the faces of these Mahayana Realm cultivators are all so strange."

He Yan looked at Qin Bu Yi with a wry smile and said, "Isn't that all because of your strike just now?"

"Little friend Qin, I'm not saying this to you, but how many more tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"You possess great divine abilities like the Law, Heaven and Earth, and this peerless saber technique that, in my opinion, is no less powerful than the Law, Heaven and Earth."

"If you have any more shocking methods to use next time, give me a heads-up in advance."

"An old man's heart can't take such fright; it will scare me to death."

Qin Bu Yi said, "Dean He Yan, you're joking. If you're an old man, then these Mahayana Realm experts here would have one foot in the coffin."

"Now that Li Yuan is dead, what do we do next?"

He Yan said, "The situation below is not good. Li Er and Li Yuan are both dead."

"If we continue to press them hard, and don't find any real evidence, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Li Yuan's move was a calculated scheme, sacrificing himself to protect the entire Li family."

Qin Bu Yi said, "I do have a way..."

After hearing Qin Bu Yi's method, He Yan's eyes widened and he said, "The risk of your method is very high."

"Before Li Yuan died, he had already smeared us, portraying us as people who were taking the opportunity to bully his Li family."

"Once your method is implemented, if it doesn't produce any results, it may attract a lot of dissatisfaction."

Qin Bu Yi curled his lips and said, "Then what do you say we should do? You were the one who told me to kill Li Yuan."

"Now, both you and I are in a difficult position. It doesn't matter to me, but your reputation as the number one dean of the Great Ming Academy might not sound so good after this."

"So, I'm telling you, next time you do something, you must be prepared. Don't just rush in headfirst!"

He Yan said with a smile and a scolding tone: "You little fox, now you're blaming me instead."

"Alright, alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Let's do it that way."

After saying that, He Yan looked at Qin Bu Yi, who showed no intention of moving.

Qin Bu Yi glared at He Yan and said, "It's me again?"

He Yan spread his hands and said, "You came up with the method, so you should implement it."

"You need to learn to respect the old and love the young, and take care of the elderly."

Qin Bu Yi said with gritted teeth, "He Yan, you old man, if I ever come out to do things with you again, I'll be that!"

He Yan quickly said, "Don't say that. If there really is a next time, it won't be me who's embarrassed."

He Yan's shamelessness and lack of scruples were gradually revealed as he spent more time with Qin Bu Yi.

Now, with so many people watching Qin Bu Yi and He Yan, they were all waiting for the outcome.

Qin Bu Yi's divine sense spread out, covering the entire Li family.

Soon, his divine sense locked onto the targets, who were the other experts of the Li family.

Two mid-stage Mahayana Realm cultivators, three early-stage Mahayana Realm cultivators, and two Half-Step Mahayana Realm cultivators.

As for those below the Half-Step Mahayana Realm, they were not within Qin Bu Yi's target range.

There was no need to even think about those in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm; how could they know about such high-level secrets of the Li family?

Qin Bu Yi flew towards the two mid-stage Mahayana Realm experts in his divine sense and said, "Will you come with me willingly, or do I have to take you away?"

Although the surface meaning of this sentence was similar, the actual implementation was vastly different.

The two mid-stage Mahayana Realm cultivators looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll go with you."

Going with Qin Bu Yi willingly could avoid some physical pain. If Qin Bu Yi were to take them away, it probably wouldn't be so simple.

Qin Bu Yi used the same method to find all three early-stage Mahayana Realm cultivators and two Half-Step Mahayana Realm cultivators.

When Qin Bu Yi returned to He Yan's side, he had not used any violent means. Behind him were seven Li family executives.

These seven Li family executives looked nervous, like little daughters-in-law, looking down at their feet and not daring to make any movements.

He Yan was somewhat surprised to see that Qin Bu Yi had subdued these seven people so docilely without spending much effort.

When Qin Bu Yi went down just now, he thought that Qin Bu Yi would definitely spend some effort to catch these seven people.

He didn't expect... it to be so easy.

If these seven people from the Li family knew what He Yan was thinking, they would definitely say:

Facing this monster who killed the family head with one move and split seven Mahayana Realm cultivators with one strike, how dare we resist?

The usually arrogant and aloof Mahayana Realm cultivators were extremely obedient in front of Qin Bu Yi.

They were so obedient that they were still worried that they would displease Qin Bu Yi and bring about their own deaths.

Qin Bu Yi faced the seven Li family executives in front of him and said, "Will you say it yourselves, or will I help you say it?"

Familiar words, familiar tone.

But this time, none of the seven Li family executives spoke.

Everyone on the scene focused their attention on these seven people. Everyone knew that.

The life and death of the Li family in the future all depended on these seven people's mouths.

If these seven people were like Li Yuan, refusing to admit it even in death, and protecting the entire Li family with their own deaths.

Then the nature of this matter would completely change. Even if there was a reason for it, He Yan and Qin Bu Yi would inevitably attract some infamy afterward.

At the same time, the decline of the Li family, the protagonist of this incident, was already destined.

If the matter of being involved in defecting to the Great Qin Dynasty was not dealt with seriously.

If the other families of the Great Ming Dynasty followed suit, the entire Great Ming Dynasty would be in chaos.

Of the seven people from the Li family, one Half-Step Mahayana Realm cultivator said, "Dean Qin, we really don't know anything."

"What do you want us to say?"

Hearing this, He Yan and Qin Bu Yi looked at each other, and He Yan took half a step back.

The meaning in his eyes was very clear: you came up with the method, so feel free to do whatever you want.

Qin Bu Yi thought to himself, "He Yan, this old fox! After this, my reputation in the Great Ming Dynasty will probably add some titles such as: Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

He Yan and the other Mahayana Realm cultivators behind Qin Bu Yi watched Qin Bu Yi with a look of anticipation.

Now that the Li family refused to admit it, they were waiting to see what methods Qin Bu Yi would use to make them speak.
