Hunting God Era

Chapter 128 A Warrior's Hardship: I'll Bear the Infamy
When Li Ye came out again, it was three days later.

My phone has a lot of missed calls and messages.

Jia Dong and Deng Hao took turns asking what had happened, since he was the first to leave during the martial arts competition.

There were also phone numbers for Sun Shun and Pan Zhengyang.

Li Yexian called Pan Zhengyang back.

As soon as the call connected, Pan Zhengyang's laughter rang out: "Oh, isn't this Li Chuangwang? You're finally willing to answer the phone now that you're done with your work?"

Li Ye laughed and said, "I'm Li Longhu, when did I earn the title of 'King of Rebellion'?"

"When you slaughtered all the martial artists and their families in Jinze City, you already had it. You're much more ruthless than me; you didn't leave a single one alive."

These words startled Li Ye, who had been thinking about returning to his cultivation and had forgotten about this matter.

He didn't seem to touch the families of those martial artists; if they were all dead...
Is Zhong Chang really that good at handling things?

Li Ye asked, "Is there any impact?"

Pan Zhengyang laughed and scolded, "What nonsense! There are still vacancies, but as long as you can control the situation before the people are reassigned, no one will blame you, especially since you broke through the sixth level. You kid, I only found out after Lao Xu contacted me. After you broke through the Dragon Gate, you really did leap over the Dragon Gate. You're going to transform into a dragon!"

The first realm, the Dragon Gate Realm, is also known as the Fish Leap Realm, which is derived from the idea of ​​a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate. However, Pan Zhengyang has not yet seen a true person who has broken through the Dragon Gate and truly shown signs of transforming into a dragon.

Li Ye is the only one he currently believes can truly transform into a dragon.

He's quite famous now.

The military took over the Demon Realm in Jinze City, and the news was naturally not kept secret. People came knocking on the door the very next day.

These are all companies with the necessary qualifications and have hired many martial arts employees. They are waiting for the army to stabilize the Demon Realm before they begin to explore and develop it.

The Demon Realm is not large; it's roughly equivalent to adding the mining and mountain range of Tongguan Mountain, but it's not even the size of adding a new district or county.

However, because there are mines, and they are high-quality ores produced in the Demon Realm, their properties are different, so many companies have come here.

When they arrived, they originally intended to directly put out a tender, thinking that such a small-scale game domain could be taken over by a large company.

Upon closer inspection, wow, the pollution level had dropped to an unbelievable level. There were only a few monsters around each day, so getting in was a win-win situation; there was no need to even begin clearing the land.

Such great news naturally spurred them on, ready to seize the opportunity in one fell swoop.

But upon inquiring, they learned that the mine could only provide half, as the other half had been contracted out to someone else.

This hasn't even started yet, who has such ability?
Some people familiar with Jinze thought it was the Chen family, after all, as a local power, the Chen family has some strength, but they took half of it.
Do they understand what they're eating?
Doing business in the Demon Realm isn't just about brute force. You also need to understand mining, transportation, refining, and pricing—who negotiated the price with you, and so on.

Every step is a business opportunity.

The Chen family didn't have the ability to take over everything. Even as a local power, taking over a single link would be enough. As local powers, they were willing to give him face and even planned to hand over a certain link in the Demon Realm to him.

They can handle the rest; it's more profitable and more convenient.

As for who will be in charge at that time, let's not worry about that.

But soon, the company representatives realized something was wrong. In Jinze City, they couldn't find a single influential martial artist, let alone the Chen family. The only ones they could find were martial artists from local companies, who had little influence and were not relevant to the mining industry.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that half of the mines were leased by influential martial artists from the neighboring city of Ningjiang, with the highest level being the second realm and the rest being the first realm.

With only a small number of people, they shamelessly proposed to jointly start a company and recruit martial artists.
If that's the case, these company representatives could easily destroy them. But besides the fact that the mine was contracted by Ningjiang martial artists, there's another piece of news.

All the warriors of Kanazawa are gone.

They were all wiped out. It was Li Ye, the director of the pest control bureau in the neighboring city, who personally carried out the operation.

This news surprised many people.

What era are we living in? How can someone still wipe out an entire family and impose collective punishment, especially when the head of the pest control bureau personally carried it out?

I've never heard of this before. Where did this weirdo from the pest control department come from? And it's caused such a big problem, yet the person involved hasn't reacted at all, and I haven't heard any notification.

Sometimes, the best protection is to let it cool down.

It wasn't that no one fought back; the public opinion that had just been stirred up was immediately suppressed. The speed of the reaction was comparable to that of a banned word. The provincial department's sensitivity in this area was simply terrifying.

In short, even martial arts circles should not spread this information casually, let alone ordinary people. If the public opinion expands, this matter will never end.

The stance is clear: we're going to protect them at all costs.

They won't listen to anyone's pressure.

With such a clear stance, how could these companies not understand? This is yet another typical example.

Moreover, he is a typical example of someone capable of killing an entire family.

First there was Pan Zhengyang, the Great Ghost Blade, who killed his entire family. Then there's Director Li, who not only killed his entire family but is now also imposing joint liability, turning Jinze City into a ghost town for martial artists.

Business in the Jianghuai Province is getting harder and harder.
Aside from a sigh, all they could do was accept it.

There's no other way; when it comes to making money, it's not shameful to lower your head when facing a powerful opponent.

In order to avoid conflict with Li Ye behind these people, not only did they not suppress the Ningjiang martial artists, but they also had to help them to develop their businesses, so as not to end up smearing them later.

However, in private, from the Ren family in Ningjiang to the Chen family in Jinze, Li Ye's behavior of barging into people's homes, forcing their entire families to die, and embezzling their property, coupled with his surname being Li, was exactly as Fan Tie had joked back then.

He was indeed labeled as the "Rebel King".

In today's society, it's not a good word.

"What are your thoughts on this?" Pan Zhengyang asked with a smile.

"It's better to be a bad person than a good person."

Li Ye thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed a leaf that was falling from the tree.

By December, winter had arrived, but a few withered leaves still clung to the trees. As they drifted down, Li Ye caught one of them.

“When a bad person does a good deed, he is praised by everyone, as if he were a living Buddha to all families.”

"A good person doing one bad thing can be hated and feel as if they have fallen into an endless hell."

"If you ask me, it's better to be feared than respected. Li Zicheng is better than being called Li the Benevolent."

Li Ye said, "The problem of demons in Jinze City has been prevented. The people don't have to worry about being threatened by demons anymore. The local bullies are gone, and there won't be any more of these ridiculous things happening. What's wrong with that?"

"When I arrived, Zhong Chang, the head of the data section of the Kanazawa City Disinfection Bureau, gave me an investigation report. The files inside detailed the harm caused by martial artists in Kanazawa City."

"From a broader perspective, they have a reason to exist. But from the perspective of normal people, their existence greatly affects the social atmosphere. We are martial artists, not outlaws or powerful tycoons. We are all cogs in the machine of society. Why should our 'elimination bureau' be the one to humble itself and act subserviently?"

Since the disinfection bureau has been given special privileges, isn't that leaving an opening for them to fight for it? If they can't win, they have to accept it; if they do win, what's the point of accepting it? Li Ye just wants to do it to others!
"It is necessary to take this opportunity to get rid of them. It is also a good opportunity to bring in a new batch of disinfection bureau members, people who are ambitious and not afraid of trouble."

"As for certain martial artists, let them suffer a bit. I've already taken the blame!"
