Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

The Federal Supreme Council's resolution, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand waves. With General Chen Xinjie's proposal officially passed, a thunderous operation codenamed "Soul Cleansing" was launched swiftly across the entire Federation.

This Sea God Douluo, known for his iron fist, personally took charge of the operation. His elite troops from the War God Temple were like unsheathed swords, aimed directly at those malignant tumors hidden in the shadows—the strongholds of evil soul masters.

From the outset, the operation was carried out with overwhelming force, no longer a sporadic skirmish, but a precise and deadly large-scale surprise attack.

Under Chen Xinjie's personal supervision, the intelligence department achieved unprecedented efficiency.

One by one, the strongholds of evil soul masters hidden in abandoned factories, dark underground areas, and even disguised as ordinary manors were uprooted under the powerful firepower of the Federation Soul Master Corps and the surprise attacks of the War God Temple Soul Masters.

Deafening explosions, the roar of colliding soul skills, and piercing screams became the main theme in some remote areas of the Federation during this period.

The intensity of the battle far exceeded expectations. The evil spirit masters knew that the Federation was serious this time, no longer just going through the motions, but intending to completely eliminate them.

Therefore, they resisted with extraordinary ferocity, unleashing insidious curses, filthy evil spirit master techniques, and evil formations that sacrificed living beings... The military forces in various regions were frequently mobilized as a result, and even the East Sea Navy Corps, where Liu Tianran was stationed, was ordered several times to intercept the evil spirit masters' escape ships.

In fact, to cover the retreat of core members or destroy evidence, several evil soul master elders who had reached the title of Douluo level did not hesitate to personally cover the rear, and engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the title Douluo powerhouses of the Federation.

The sky was torn apart, the earth trembled, and the aftershocks of the collision between Title Douluo-level beings leveled the battlefield to rubble. The sheer brutality of the attack caused even seasoned veterans in the army to turn pale.

Amidst the smoke and ruins, one of the greatest gains of the operation was the rescue of a large number of innocent hostages who had been imprisoned, tortured, or even used as "materials."

As heavy iron doors were broken open and dark cages were illuminated, the sight that appeared before the Federation soldiers was horrifying: emaciated civilians, children with vacant eyes, and ravaged soul masters... When they were rescued, many of them could not even adapt to the light due to their long exposure to darkness and fear, and screamed in terror.

The accompanying healers and comforters quickly intervened, pulling these poor souls back from the brink of hell.

However, when the identities of these rescued individuals were compiled, verified, and compared with the internal database of the Federal Political Department, a shocking fact emerged: a large number of them closely matched the "missing persons" list reported by the Political Department in recent years!

In the past, most of these missing persons cases were covered up by local officials with excuses such as "population mobility" or "running away on their own," or were simply suppressed and not reported, becoming a series of murky accounts.

When this weighty list and cold statistics were placed on General Chen Xinjie's desk, this military leader, known for his composure, was utterly enraged. He slammed his fist on the table, and the surface, crafted from deep-sea silver, instantly cracked like a spiderweb.

He convened an unprecedented emergency meeting with all relevant department heads.

Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was eerily tense. Chen Xinjie's face was ashen, and his sharp, hawk-like eyes swept over every official present, as if trying to see through the filth deep within their souls.

"Look at these numbers!" His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling, soul-cold quality. "Look at these compatriots we rescued! They didn't just vanish into thin air! Their families reported them to you countless times, begged for your help! And what did you do?"

He suddenly raised his voice, which was like thunder, "It's turning a blind eye! It's being perfunctory! It's laziness! It's negligence! It's dereliction of duty! You sit in these positions, enjoying the power given to you by the people, yet you can't even fulfill your most basic responsibilities, allowing these demons to run rampant under our noses and harm our people!"

Do you deserve this uniform? Do you deserve the trust the Federation placed in you?!

Chen Xinjie's rebuke struck like a heavy hammer, leaving many officials pale and drenched in cold sweat. But this was only the beginning.

Enraged, Chen Xinjie displayed his iron-fisted side, announcing on the spot that all officials involved in the matter who had committed obvious dereliction of duty, regardless of their rank, would be suspended from their duties and subject to investigation!

The federal political scene was shaken, and dozens of officials were dismissed on the spot.

A thorough investigation soon revealed an even more chilling truth. It turned out that nearly half of these dismissed officials were not simply guilty of "laziness and inaction in their duties."

The investigation team discovered intricate connections in their private communications records, secret accounts, and even in lists seized from certain evil spirit master strongholds.

Some people accepted bribes from evil spirit masters, providing them with protection and information;

Some people were caught red-handed by the evil spirit masters and forced to act as inside agents;

Even worse, some directly participated in certain "businesses" of evil spirit masters, using their positions of power to facilitate the kidnapping and transportation of "materials" by evil spirit masters, completely degenerating into accomplices of evil spirit masters!

The exposure of these parasites makes the entire "Soul Cleansing" operation even more significant.

This is no longer just a war to eradicate external evil spirit masters, but also a thorough purge of the corrupt forces within the Federation.

The scope of the crackdown has been further expanded, no longer limited to the Holy Spirit Cult, and many non-Holy Spirit Cult evil spirit groups have also been found.

The War God Temple's swift and decisive actions not only dealt a heavy blow to the power of the evil soul masters, but also declared to the entire Federation with an iron-fisted stance: any act of colluding with evil or neglecting one's duties will pay the heaviest price.

This storm has swept away not only evil spirit masters, but also the decay and rust that cling to the Federation's vast political machine.

In this massive operation, Xie Jiayun's Tree of Life martial soul possessed healing and purification abilities far exceeding those of other Title Douluos of the same level, and no weaker than those of healing-type Title Douluos.

During this period, he was frequently seconded to military hospitals and battlefield logistics in various locations to help treat and comfort the wounded, often keeping him extremely busy.

Although he was quite busy, this also allowed him to quickly accumulate considerable prestige among the lower and middle ranks of the military.

As early as a month ago, Liu Tianran had already extracted the characteristic of Ya Li's "Praying Angel" martial soul, which collects the faith and gratitude of others to cultivate, from the hair sample provided by Wei Heng, and fused it into Xie Jiayun's martial soul.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Liu Tianran collected a batch of faith power and stored it in his sea of ​​consciousness for his main body and various avatars to study.

Unfortunately, to this day, among the evil spirit masters encountered in the operation, there have been no super Douluo-level evil spirit masters mentioned in the Western Legion's intelligence, nor any core high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult above them.

Although some of the fixed-mount soul-guided shells were recovered, the soul-guided shells of level eight and above are still missing.

The operation failed to reach the core structure of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the entire cult seemed to have gone into complete hibernation, making subsequent investigations increasingly difficult.
