I can push my cultivation progress to the end

The so-called pseudo-Grandmaster...

To put it bluntly, it means possessing Grandmaster-level physical strength, physique, and reaction speed, but without the ability to project force remotely.

In other words.

These four upgraded Demon Subduing Warriors might still be vulnerable against a true Grandmaster.

But against anyone below the Grandmaster level, they are absolutely invincible.

So, after a major overhaul, the four-man team led by Dao could barely be considered worthy of carrying Li Hai's sedan chair.

Just as all of this was completed, Li Hai, sitting in the Governor-General's mansion, happened to receive a flying talisman message from the Demon Subduing Division headquarters.

It stated that a Yellow Springs Domain had inexplicably appeared outside the vast mountains, about seven thousand five hundred miles away from Zhongjing.

The sudden appearance of this ghostly place had swallowed a mountain town called Peach Blossom.

At the same time, the Demon Subduing Division happened to have two personnel in this swallowed Peach Blossom Town.

Regarding this information, a question couldn't help but arise in Li Hai's mind:

"I have clearly swept away all the evil and ominous places in the world, without any evil ghost places as a foundation, where did this Yellow Springs Domain come from?

Could it be... is it the remnants of the Xuan Dynasty causing trouble again?"

Demon Subduing Division Headquarters.

Li Hai sat opposite Feng Heyue.

"Grandma Feng."

Li Hai asked, "Is the sudden appearance of that Yellow Springs Domain this time the work of the Xuan Dynasty remnants?"

"No."

Feng Heyue slowly shook her head, "That Yellow Springs Domain was born naturally."

"Then that's strange."

Li Hai frowned in confusion, "I have clearly swept away all the evil and ominous places in the world,

where did this Yellow Springs Domain come from?"

"Your question..."

Old Madam Feng said leisurely, "Actually, it shares the same answer as why ghosts are born into the world."

"Is that so? Hmm~ Speaking of which, Grandma Feng, I have always been unclear about one thing."

Li Hai pondered, "You say, what is the origin of the many ghosts in this world? Is it because of great grievances, resentment, hatred, or some more evil power?"

"These are all superficial reasons."

Feng Heyue slowly said, "The true origin of countless ghosts, evil and ominous places, and Yellow Springs Domains in the world is malice."

"Malice?"

Li Hai asked in confusion, "Why malice?"

"Hmm~"

Feng Heyue sighed, "Let me tell you a story."

"Okay."

Li Hai nodded, "I'm all ears."

Following that, Old Madam Feng slowly began to tell a story that happened on a certain ocean-going fishing boat.

In the story, there was a phenomenon on that large fishing boat where old sailors bullied new sailors generation after generation.

Regardless of whether the new sailors were clumsy or efficient in their work, the old sailors could arbitrarily beat and insult them.

Even all the new sailors would have a nasty nickname: Rotten Fish Fry.

But even when faced with such bullying, the new sailors called Rotten Fish Fry were not allowed to resist in any way.

Otherwise, they would be collectively besieged by the old sailors, and in the end, they would only be beaten harder and insulted with even nastier words.

Even if a new sailor really dared to resist, and resisted extremely fiercely.

Finally, after many years, the entire fishing boat was completely soaked in malice.

Once the number of bloody incidents and lives on this ship accumulated to a certain level, it would explode under a certain opportunity.

Turning the entire fishing boat and even the surrounding sea area into an evil and ominous ghost place.

And this is the origin of most of the evil and ominous places in the world.

At the same time, the evil sea area in the story also exists in reality.

It's just that the ghost ship directly turned into a Yellow Springs Domain at the beginning, and moved independently towards the depths of the sea, never to be seen again.

"I, I seem to understand."

After listening to the story or case told by Feng Heyue, Li Hai pondered, "Directed or undirected malice, as long as it continues to accumulate and brew.

Eventually, under the influence of a certain event that is biased towards negative qualities, it will pollute and transform the place where the malice originated.

Turning it into an evil and ominous place or a Yellow Springs Domain, and there is no strict progressive order between these two different levels of ghost places.

So, whether the same sufficiently strong malice will eventually give birth to an evil place or a Yellow Springs Domain depends entirely on God, is that right?"

"Yes."

Feng Heyue slowly nodded, "It's just that the probability of the birth of a Yellow Springs Domain is ultimately much, much smaller than that of an evil and ominous place, so in most cases, what appears between heaven and earth is mostly an evil and ominous place rather than a Yellow Springs Domain."

"Understood."

Li Hai slightly nodded, "Then, I will go and clear that newly appeared Yellow Springs Domain."

"Okay."

Feng Heyue nodded and sighed, "Child, everything depends on you."

Now, Li Hai and Feng Heyue are the only two Martial Dao Grandmasters in the entire Demon Subduing Division.

Old Madam Feng, as the Grand Supervisor and being so old, naturally cannot be dispatched casually, otherwise it would be a laughing stock.

Other departments and units would definitely say:

"Such a large Demon Subduing Division, the highest leader who should be sitting in the army actually needs to charge into battle personally?

Oh, so much funding and resources have been consumed, but not a single capable general has been cultivated.

If that's the case, then it's better to simply disband altogether.

It just so happens that the original responsibilities and affairs, as well as the funds and resources allocated to the Demon Subduing Division, can be distributed to other departments and units.

Don't doubt it, the Special Affairs Division, the Divine Weapon Division, and the Military Intelligence Division, these Jing Dynasty departments will definitely spread this news everywhere, and their highest leaders will also collectively submit a memorial at the Martial Hall meeting, requesting that the entire Demon Subduing Division be abolished.

Although the Grand Chancellors will definitely not issue an order to abolish it so arbitrarily, they will definitely be greatly disappointed with the Demon Subduing Division, and then reduce the investment of funds and resources in the Demon Subduing Division in the coming year.

So Li Hai, is now an indispensable stabilizing force for the entire Demon Subduing Division.

Without him, the Demon Subduing Division would simply not be able to withstand too much wind and rain.

"It won't take too long."

Li Hai stood up straight and said calmly to Feng Heyue, "I'll be back soon."

"Heh heh heh, I originally wanted to say be careful."

Feng Heyue said with a smile, "But when I think about how great your abilities are, I feel that there is no need to say this anymore."

Hearing this, Li Hai smiled silently, then with a flash of his figure, the whole person disappeared into thin air in the hall of this Demon Subduing Division.
