Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Cleaning Up the Remnants



The fierce wind howled like an enraged beast, mercilessly swirling the lingering wisps of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield. Those wisps of blue smoke were like shattered souls, floating faintly in the air, as if whispering the intensity and thrilling nature of the fierce battle between good and evil. Although Lin Yu had, with fearless courage and resolute strength, completely destroyed the evil ritual, and its core magic array was now as broken as crumbling tiles, the evil aura dissipated like a lingering remnant in the biting wind, and most of the high-ranking members of the evil forces, like a frightened bird, had scattered in all directions and hidden themselves in the secret corners of the vast world. However, Lin Yu's sword-like eyebrows remained tightly furrowed, and the worry in his deep eyes did not diminish in the slightest. His gaze was as firm as an abyss, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew well that this victory was merely a facade, much like the turbulent undercurrent hidden beneath the calm surface of a lake. If the remaining evil remnants lurking within the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" were not eradicated root and branch and completely eliminated, it would be like leaving a deadly poison seed in the fertile soil, which would sooner or later sprout and spread in the darkness, once again threatening the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world. Only by purging these dregs of evil could the long-term stability and security of the cultivation world be ensured, and this world could be restored to a peaceful and prosperous era.

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at Su Yu beside him. Su Yu's face was full of weariness, but the determination in his eyes could not be hidden. Their eyes met, and in that instant, tacit understanding and resolve flowed between them in this silent gaze. Without the need for unnecessary words, their figures flashed like phantoms, as swift as the wind, and they sped towards the direction of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion". Stepping into the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", the once familiar pavilions, terraces, and buildings with carved beams and painted rafters were now as if shrouded in a layer of gloom, filled with a sinister and oppressive atmosphere. Every shadow seemed to conceal a deadly danger, like a lurking beast ready to pounce and attack at any moment. Lin Yu and Su Yu held their breaths and moved cautiously through it, not missing any clue, resolutely embarking on this difficult and crucial large-scale manhunt.

Their figures appeared and disappeared among the winding corridors. Their keen spiritual senses were like an invisible and fine spider web, quietly spreading out in all directions, capturing every subtle movement. Suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes turned cold, like a cold star suddenly shining brightly, and his steps came to an abrupt halt. He seemed to have heard a faint sound like a mouse stealing food in the dark. Although the sound was soft, it was particularly clear in this silent atmosphere. He raised his hand to signal Su Yu to be silent and stop. The two of them were like phantoms in the dark night, stealthily approaching the source of the sound. In a dim and secluded corner, a figure was huddled up like a frightened quail, exuding a faint, almost imperceptible evil aura that was like the stench of decay. Lin Yu let out a cold snort from his nostrils, like a low rumble of thunder. His figure rushed forward like lightning, and the long sword in his hand flashed like a startled swan, accurately pressing against the man's throat. The member of the evil forces opened his eyes wide in terror, his eyes filled with despair and fear. Before he could let out a pleading cry, he was quickly subdued by Lin Yu with thunderous force and could not move, like a trapped beast in chains.

In this way, they searched all the way. Relying on their extraordinary wisdom, keen perception, and fearless courage, they gradually uncovered one by one the members of the evil forces lurking in the various hidden corners of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion". Each evil-doer, when facing the just judgment of Lin Yu and Su Yu, showed a look of timidity, and despair flashed in their eyes, as if the end of the world had arrived. Lin Yu and Su Yu were as firm as a rock towards these sinners who had brought disaster to the cultivation world and showed no mercy. They upheld the balance of justice and, according to the principles of fairness, imposed the punishments that these people deserved. Some had their cultivation abolished decisively, turning them into ordinary people and leaving them with no ability to do evil anymore, just like a bird with broken wings, forever trapped in a cage. Others were handed over to the law enforcement hall of the cultivation world for disposal according to the law, as a warning to others and to deter those with evil intentions.

As the manhunt progressed, the righteous people in the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" gradually became aware of this silent storm of justice. They witnessed Lin Yu and Su Yu's unremitting efforts to restore the clarity of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", as if they had seen the dawn of hope in the darkness. The fire of justice in their hearts was ignited like a prairie fire, unstoppable. More and more righteous people stood up and resolutely joined this sacred action of cleaning up the remnants. Some, with their thorough knowledge of the terrain of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", like the masters who knew every inch of their own backyard, guided Lin Yu and Su Yu to those easily overlooked hidden corners, like lighting up a series of bright lamps that illuminated the way forward. Some, with their excellent martial arts skills, fought side by side with Lin Yu and Su Yu, like war horses running neck and neck, jointly opposing those evil forces that were stubbornly resisting and struggling desperately. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the evil forces in the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" were gradually eradicated, just like ice and snow melting under the sun. The oppressive and sinister atmosphere dissipated slowly, like the morning mist being dispelled by the rising sun. The "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", which had once shone with the brilliant light of justice, finally, after going through hardships, gradually returned to the right track, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, once again shining with a dazzling brilliance.

After this arduous and magnificent effort, the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" finally regained its former peace and tranquility, like a sleeping lion returning to calm after waking up. The light of justice once again poured down on every inch of the land like a warm sun, dispelling all the gloom and darkness. However, Lin Yu and Su Yu did not become complacent or satisfied with the current situation. They had a long-term vision and knew that if the fundamental problem was not solved, the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" was like a castle built on sand and might once again fall into the quagmire of crisis someday in the future. Therefore, after careful consideration and repeated deliberation, the two of them resolutely decided to carry out drastic and fundamental reforms on the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion".

They first started with the internal management system, like a skilled doctor prescribing the right medicine after accurately diagnosing the disease. They carefully formulated a new set of strict, meticulous, and reasonable pavilion regulations, like building a solid city wall for the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion". In terms of the personnel selection and promotion mechanism, they no longer simply focused on the level of cultivation, like abandoning the shallow concept of judging people by their appearance. Instead, they paid more attention to the examination of moral character and mental state, like carefully selecting a piece of fine jade, ensuring that every disciple who entered the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" had a sincere and righteous heart, like a pure uncarved jade with excellent quality. At the same time, they vigorously strengthened the daily supervision and moral education of the disciples in the pavilion, like a diligent gardener carefully taking care of the young seedlings. A special supervision agency was established, like a high-hanging mirror, which regularly conducted a detailed examination of the words and deeds of the disciples. Once any bad signs were detected, like the budding weeds, they were immediately corrected and punished without any leniency.

In terms of resource management, they, like shrewd stewards, conducted a comprehensive inventory of the treasure house of the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", like the owner checking his own warehouse. They reorganized and rationally allocated the precious resources that had been stolen or privately hoarded by the evil forces, like a wise man redistributing wealth, ensuring that the resources could be accurately and reasonably used for cultivating outstanding disciples and enhancing the overall strength of the pavilion, like adding bricks and tiles to a building to make it more stable and solid. In addition, they also focused on strengthening the management of the knowledge inheritance in the pavilion, like guards protecting the treasures. They systematically sorted out and summarized various cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and cultivation experiences treasured in the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion", like a scholar organizing ancient books, and generously opened them to the entire cultivation world, like opening the door to the treasure house of knowledge. With a broad vision of the world, they hoped that in this way, they could help more cultivators improve their strength, like raising the sails for a sailing ship, so that the strength of the entire cultivation world could be enhanced and strengthened, like gathering trickling streams into a vast river. Thus, they could jointly safeguard the peace and prosperity of this world, like guards protecting their homeland, building an impregnable defense line.

With the persistent and unremitting efforts of Lin Yu and Su Yu, the "Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion" was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, taking on a new look. It not only once again became a towering and unshakable fortress of justice in the cultivation world, like a shining lighthouse, but also injected fresh new impetus into the vigorous development of the entire cultivation world, like a gushing source of living water. And the heroic names of the two of them, like shining stars, were widely praised in the cultivation world, becoming heroic models admired by everyone, like the Big Dipper guiding the direction, inspiring generation after generation of cultivators to strive unremittingly and bravely for the lofty ideals of justice and peace, like athletes in a relay race, inheriting the mission and responsibility of protection.
