Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Ye Wuyue’s head spun. She hastily activated her heart technique to calm down, staring intently at Gong Tianrui, saying nothing.

Then, she turned and left, throwing herself into the demon-suppressing action.

Changning City and its surrounding areas were so vast, they were nearly equivalent to a third of the Great Li Dynasty.

Thus, the thousands of field staff from the Demon Extermination Bureau, even if they were all starting at the Integration Realm, were completely inadequate to cover the out-of-control zones.

Ye Wuyue had just left from Gong Tianrui’s side when she was called by Guan Xin,

"Wuyue!"

Ye Wuyue quickly asked, "Did you discover anything?"

Guan Xin said seriously, "All demon cultivators active inside Changning City were previously ordinary citizens. Although their divine souls are still in their Purple Mansion, they are completely detached from their physical bodies, immersed in a sort of dream-like illusion."

"Why aren’t they suppressed by the Sealing Spirit Array?"

Guan Xin said, "Because their Qi is driven by a certain will. The Sealing Spirit Array’s suppression of Qi operates on the body, Dantian, and meridians."

"Will?" Ye Wuyue was stunned, "What kind of will?"

Guan Xin’s face went pale, "It’s vast, so vast it seems nonexistent. I can’t touch it at all, and even thinking about it is frightful and terrifying. We must suppress them quickly; normal people are starting to experience this as well."

"But we need to know why they turned into demon cultivators!" Ye Wuyue said anxiously.

"Calm down, Wuyue. I’ve already asked Wenxin Heaven for assistance; we need to hold on!"

Ye Wuyue was constantly receiving messages from various staff through the Unruffled Platform, her soul under immense pressure.

The situations reported by the staff were mostly the same.

The number of demon cultivators was simply too large. If they only suppress and don’t directly kill them, their soul and mental capacity cannot withstand it. The best option is to directly obliterate them.

Ye Wuyue found herself in a dilemma, unable to immediately issue instructions.

She gritted her teeth and said,

"These demon cultivators are all ordinary cultivators, just controlled by a certain will. They aren’t true demon cultivators! We can’t... just kill them so recklessly! Then, how would we be different from Gong Tianrui and others?"

Guan Xin didn’t know what to say either. In the current situation, it’s a matter of choice—if they want to stabilize the situation, they have to kill those ordinary people who became demon cultivators; if they want to save them, they may fail to stabilize the situation, risking Changning City’s downfall.

Watching Ye Wuyue struggle tremendously, shaking like she’s fallen into an ice cave, Guan Xin couldn’t help but feel a bit pained,

"Wuyue, are you okay?"

Ye Wuyue’s lips turned pale,

"The staff are still waiting for my instructions; I... can’t keep them waiting for too long."

She knew that every moment she hesitated, the pressure on the staff increased significantly.

Currently, just over ten percent of people have transformed into demon cultivators; if they wait a little longer, it might become twenty percent, with demon cultivators of increasingly higher cultivation.

Sacrificing this ten percent of people to ensure the stability of Changning City, to save more lives...

This is undoubtedly the most sensible choice.

But even ten percent of the immense Changning City amounts to millions of people.

Who will be responsible for them?

Ye Wuyue’s heart ached with sharp, pounding pain. Her pupils quaked to the extreme, and cold sweat continuously dripped from her forehead.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Fan Wubing, her powerful brother.

She quickly activated the jade talisman at her waist to call Fan Wubing.

However, her brother Wubing, who usually arrived at the first moment, did not respond to her this time.

Why?

Did he not receive my call, or is he unable to come?

"Damn it! Why does it have to be now!" Ye Wuyue clenched her fists tightly, her nails embedding into her palms.

"Wuyue." Guan Xin grabbed her shoulders, "Calm down, calm down!"

Ye Wuyue was still trapped in a vortex of overwhelming emotions,

"Right, there’s still the Unruffled Platform! We can use the Unruffled Platform to suppress demonic Qi!"

Saying that, she quickly returned to the Demon Extermination Bureau to try to activate the Unruffled Platform.

However, she found that the Unruffled Platform, closely connected to her, although right in front of her, seemed separated by a chasm—no matter what she did, she couldn’t touch it or feel it.

"How can this be!" Ye Wuyue was nearly going mad.

The things that normally played a crucial role seemed unable to work now.

Calling Fan Wubing, to no avail,

Activating the Unruffled Platform, to no avail,

"Why is everything so unlucky!" Trapped in a vortex of emotions, Ye Wuyue’s pupils clouded over with a layer of darkness.

Guan Xin held her face tightly, matching her gaze,

"Wuyue, calm down! It’s obviously a premeditated attack! The enemy hidden in the shadows is strong; he knows you can use the Unruffled Platform and that Fan Wubing can help you. But now, none of that works, which clearly means he’s prepared for this! You’re the General Director; you can’t lose your composure!"

"I... I don’t know what to do. I’m... lost without Brother Wubing; I can’t do anything right!" Ye Wuyue curled up and shouted, "No matter what trouble comes up, he solves it for me! I’m not nearly as capable as you think!"

Guan Xin took a deep breath and shouted angrily,

"Ye Wuyue! Am I not clear on whether you’re capable? I’ve been by your side for years! I’ve seen all your actions! Are you going to say I’m a very poor judge of character? Get up, stand up quickly! Go tell the staff what to do!"
