Chapter 562 - 561: Inspector
WHOOSH... A cloud of blood mist erupted!!
The blood mist bloomed in the air like a bewitching flower.
How could it not be a stunning sight? That was a Half-Venerable, after all!
At this moment, the crowd was completely dumbstruck, their faces filled with horror. Dongmen Ming, Dongmen Lie, and the others were so frightened their eyes glazed over, and they were rendered speechless.
"Heavens... My god, he actually killed a Half-Venerable."
"The Dongmen Family has suffered a huge loss this time. A huge loss! A Half-Venerable isn’t someone that even an Era-Defining King can compare to. How terrifying... truly terrifying."
"From now on, Qin Ya’s name will shake the entire Divine Country."
High above, Qin Ya made a gesture with his hands, circulating his True Essence. He pulled the cloud of blood mist toward him, gradually gathering it until it formed a single drop of crimson essence blood.
Meanwhile, Dongmen Liyu’s pupils gradually dilated, his eyes still holding a trace of disbelief.
Then, its power extinguished, his body suddenly plummeted from the sky.
"Ancestor!"
"Quick! Catch the Ancestor!"
Dongmen Lie and the others immediately rushed over and caught Dongmen Liyu’s body.
"The Ancestor... is really dead!!"
Dongmen Lie’s eyes were bloodshot. His gaze was a complex mix of shock, terror, and disbelief, as if he simply could not accept that Dongmen Liyu was dead.
"How can this be? How is this possible?"
"The Ancestor’s Cultivation was so profound, how could he have just died like that?"
"There’s no way that Qin Ya could be this strong."
Dongmen Ming muttered to himself, his face a mask of disbelief.
He didn’t understand how a person could be so monstrously talented.
It wasn’t just him; everyone else was utterly shocked as well.
"Qin Ya, just you wait for the Dongmen Family’s revenge." Dongmen Lie stood up, holding Dongmen Liyu’s corpse, and stared at Qin Ya, his eyes radiating a cold chill.
The corner of Qin Ya’s mouth curled up in a wild, arrogant smile. He said arrogantly, "You want to kill me? The Dongmen Family had better be prepared to lose a few more ancestors."
As his words fell, a sky-piercing killing intent erupted from him, sweeping through the area. Paired with that untamable smile, he looked like a Demon God that had walked straight out of Hell.
"You... You..." For a moment, Dongmen Lie was so stunned by this killing intent that he could only point a trembling hand at Qin Ya, his face deathly pale.
"Hmph."
Qin Ya snorted coldly, then retracted his killing intent and deactivated his Godslaying State.
The aura that seemed capable of total Destruction slowly dissipated. This scene left the crowd marveling in amazement; they hadn’t expected this state could be controlled so freely.
Not long after, Dongmen Lie and his men turned and left.
At this moment, the Meiying Venerable, seated high on his throne, said indifferently, "Since the Slaughter Ruins Great Hunt is over, all factions may now take their leave."
"We’ll take our leave."
"Heh heh, I never thought I’d see something so interesting. This trip for the Slaughter Ruins Great Hunt was unexpectedly entertaining."
"Qin Ya. A name that is about to shake the Divine Country."
Soon, only Qin Ya, Mo Bokong, and their group were left in the Central Plaza.
Just as Qin Ya was about to leave, the Meiying Venerable suddenly called out to him.
"Qin Ya, stay a moment."
He turned around, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Venerable Lord, is there something else you need?"
The Meiying Venerable said faintly, "You killed Dongmen Liyu. Do you think the Dongmen Family will let this go? I’m afraid that in a short while, an expert even stronger than Dongmen Liyu will come looking for you. You probably won’t even make it out of the city gates."
Qin Ya’s brow furrowed slightly. He knew the Meiying Venerable was speaking the truth.
"Then what do you suggest, Venerable Lord?"
He understood that the Meiying Venerable certainly wouldn’t be telling him this for no reason.
"The Dongmen Family has deep roots, and they are backed by an ancestor at the Venerable Level. In all of Meiying County, only my Venerable Mansion can protect you."
Qin Ya’s brow furrowed. He said, "Venerable Lord, you’re suggesting..."
"Join my Venerable Mansion!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mo Bokong and the others were stunned.
’They hadn’t expected the Meiying Venerable would make such a decision just to protect Qin Ya.’
’In all of Meiying County, countless people wanted to join the Venerable Mansion. Ordinary Kings could break their heads trying and still wouldn’t get the chance.’
’If one succeeded, it would be like ascending to the heavens in a single step.’
’In all of Meiying County, who would dare to so much as touch someone from the Venerable Mansion?’
However, with Qin Ya’s Talent and strength, he more than deserved to join the Venerable Mansion. But for the Meiying Venerable to recruit Qin Ya—who now had an irreconcilable grudge with the Dongmen Family—into the Venerable Mansion... this move was a clear declaration of opposition to the Dongmen Family.
"Qin Ya, accept the Venerable Lord’s offer," Mo Bokong said from the side. "In your current situation, only the Venerable Mansion can protect you from the Dongmen Family’s persecution."
"That’s right. And with your abilities, you’ll surely rise through the ranks quickly in the Venerable Mansion. When that time comes, you’ll be second to one and above tens of thousands."
Qin Ya pondered for a moment, then said to the Meiying Venerable, "Venerable Lord, why are you doing this? You said it yourself, the Dongmen Family has a Venerable backing them. Aren’t you afraid of offending a Venerable for my sake? Doesn’t that seem... not worth it?"
Hearing this, the Meiying Venerable replied meaningfully, "Qin Ya, your value is far greater than that of a single Venerable. You and I both know this."
At these words, everyone except for Qin Ya was stunned.
Mo Bokong thought to himself, ’Could the Venerable Lord know that Qin Ya is the Pill King? If so, it’s no wonder he’s willing to offend the Dongmen Family for Qin Ya’s sake.’
Beside the Meiying Venerable, Jii Xingyue felt a little surprised.
She gave Qin Ya a deep, searching look, then quickly retracted her gaze.
’But Qin Ya knew the Meiying Venerable was referring to his status as a Saint’s Inheritor. Indeed, that status alone was enough to be comparable to a Venerable.’
At this point, the Meiying Venerable added indifferently, "Besides, I’ve had quite a few secret struggles with the Dongmen Family over the years. I’d be happy to see them suffer a loss."
"Fine, I’ll join," Qin Ya said lightly.
"Very well. I declare that from this day forward, you are the ninth Inspector of my Venerable Mansion, with command over a hundred Kings." The Meiying Venerable’s tone was laced with a certain gravity.

With that, a purple stream of light flew before Qin Ya.
"Receive the order."
At his words, Qin Ya reached out and grasped the mass of purple light.
The light then dissipated, transforming into a Purple Jade Order.
The Jade Order was the size of his palm and was inscribed with mysterious patterns. The moment he grasped it, he felt a sensation of being connected by blood. Faintly, Qin Ya felt as if he could control the heavens and earth around him, and an air of majesty radiated from him.
Suddenly, the entire main city began to RUMBLE and tremble. A dazzling pillar of light shot up from some location, as if announcing something, illuminating more than half of the main city.
Countless people saw this pillar of light, and their expressions changed drastically.
"That pillar of light... It’s an Inspector!!"
"A new Inspector has been appointed! Who could it be?"
"Heavens, it’s been a full hundred years since a new Inspector was appointed. Why has one suddenly appeared today? This main city is in for some turmoil."
"An Inspector... Including the existing Inspectors like Zhao, Bai, and others, the Venerable Mansion now has a full nine Inspectors. Who is this newly appointed one?"
