During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

The sixth level of the Luowang Underground Palace, the Dark Execution Platform.

This is the place of punishment for the Net, and also the dungeon of the Net.

The four sides of the rock face are smooth and cold, and the eerie winds from the earth's veins pass through the corridor.

The instruments of torture were laid out in a grim manner, each covered with dried, blackened scabs of blood, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Li Jijing sat on a large stone chair.

He wore a long, tightly woven black robe, with long, dark blue hair reaching his waist. His face was covered by a pale blue jade mask, exuding a cold and eerie aura with an inhuman sense of oppression.

After speaking with Lü Buwei, the head of the execution platform, he went to the execution platform on the sixth floor of the underground palace.

Here are the hunters and executioners assigned to him by the leader of the Net.

The two groups of people lined up neatly in an open space, all kneeling with their backs ramrod straight and their heads bowed.

The forty-one in the front row were hunters directly under the Dark Execution Platform. None of them were of the Earth or Absolute level; they were all elites selected from the Killer level, each with a sturdy build and a cold, hard appearance.

They are divided into teams of ten, each with a captain in charge. They can hunt alone for thousands of miles, or work together as a team to capture prey.

Among the crowd, Tian Yi was prominently featured.

She wore a tight-fitting, sharp black jumpsuit that accentuated her shapely figure, and her face was still covered by a cold, hard iron mask, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.

Li Ji had already visited the fourth level of the underground palace a couple of days ago and assigned her to the Dark Execution Platform, so it wasn't surprising to see her here now.

The eleven people in the back row were executioners of the Earth rank.

They live underground year-round, never seeing the light of day; their skin is as pale as paper, and their eyes are numb and indifferent.

In addition, several hunters were on missions and had not yet arrived, and there were also a dozen or so executioners in the Tooth-Eating Prison.

These seventy-odd people constitute the main force of the Dark Execution Platform, and are also the most loyal assassins of each Dark Execution Platform Master.

These people only recognize the title of the platform master and do not obey external orders; now they all belong to Li Ji.

Li Ji's gaze slowly swept down over each person kneeling on the ground, without uttering a single word from beginning to end.

But the more this was the case, the more restrained the hunters and executioners became, each holding their breath and not daring to breathe loudly.

Neither the identity of the master of the Dark Execution Platform nor the imposing aura of the first-class Heavenly Rank dared to give them any thought of acting recklessly.

Li Ji's gaze swept over every face, scrutinizing them silently for a long time, until the entire room was deathly silent, before he finally spoke:

"I've heard that the execution platform has three ironclad rules; tell me them one by one."

The leading hunters, their backs taut like bowstrings, answered in unison without the slightest hesitation:

"Reporting to the Lord, the Dark Execution Platform does indeed have three ironclad rules, which we have strictly adhered to to this day and dare not violate."

Firstly, all matters concerning the Dark Execution Platform are decided solely by the Platform Master, and even the top-ranking assassins are not allowed to interfere; those who violate this rule will be executed without mercy.

Secondly, when hunting, one should not inquire about the target's identity or distinguish right from wrong. If one captures someone, one will suffer a calamity; if one silences someone, one will be completely wiped out. One should not leave any future troubles.

Thirdly, all interrogation records, case files, and lists of convicts within the station were to be kept secret and only allowed to be read by the station chief; not a single word was to be leaked.

After listening, Li Jijing did not offer any opinion, but simply asked again:

"What are your usual procedures?"

"Reporting to the Lord, we cannot leave the underground palace without orders. We must wait for instructions before we can leave. When apprehending him, cripple his martial arts, seal his meridians, and escort him back intact."

At the time of execution, the reasons for the crime were not inquired, not a shred of pity was shown, and the entire process was conducted in silence, leaving no trace.

Li Ji nodded slightly and said:

"Very good, as expected of the secret execution platform where Luo Wang controls life and death."

However, people's hearts are fickle, and with more contact with defectors, it is inevitable that one will develop disloyal thoughts and selfish desires.

I have a potion here. After drinking it, I will be able to sense your location at any time.

Are you willing to drink it?

The spring water that Li Ji mentioned was actually a diluted version of the Yue Snake Life Gu.

Since reaching the Dragon Embryo realm, not only have his water control, body refinement, and poison neutralization improved, but even his Yue Snake Life Gu has become more powerful.

Each of these diluted Yue Snake Life Gu contains one-tenth of his essence blood, and consuming them will slightly improve his physical condition.

However, he also needs to replenish his Ming Shui True Qi once every three months, otherwise he will slowly die in the agony of being devoured by the Yue Snake.

His reason for doing this was naturally to completely control these hunters and turn them into his own power.

"this......"

The hunting leaders below lowered their heads, exchanged quick glances, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.

If what this person says is true, and their location can be sensed at all times, then wouldn't that mean there will be no secrets between them? If any of them harbors any disloyalty, they will probably be discovered immediately.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't stay on the execution platform any longer. I have a better place for you."

Li Ji's words were seemingly indifferent and ordinary, but to the hunters, they sounded more complex than they appeared.

Are there any good places to go within the Net of Heaven?

They were deeply suspicious.

No one dared to answer.

But not everyone wanted to stay on the execution platform. Now that there seemed to be a good opportunity to leave, it was only natural that some people stepped forward.

It was a hunter whose face was covered with a black cloth.

He suddenly stood up and looked at Li Ji in front of him, saying:

"Master, I don't want to drink this strange potion. May I ask where you recommend a good place?"

Li Ji's gaze fell lightly on the man's face, and he asked, "Do you really want to go?"

The man nodded and said, "Please grant my request, Master."

"In that case, come forward."

The hunter, whose face was covered by a black cloth, walked up to Li Ji. Just as he was about to ask again,

But then a flash of dark blue light appeared in Li Ji's eyes, and water vapor rose around him. A huge, water-shaped hand silently reached out and grabbed the man's neck and lower body.

This sudden turn of events caused all the hunters below to look up.

The man's face turned bright red instantly, and he kicked and thrashed his legs at the large, blue, water-shaped hand, but to no avail.

The hunters below felt a chill run down their spines.

The person who was captured was not a helpless child like those in the mortal world.

This is a hunter from the Net, an elite among the Killers.

But now, it's like a child being held by an adult, only able to kick its legs and glare like a little kid.

This scene was so absurd and so impactful.

"You...speak..."

It doesn't count...

The man was being pulled by the large, water-shaped hand, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a muffled sound.

However, he ultimately didn't utter the last word he wanted to say.

His eyeballs bulged outward due to the immense pressure, looking exactly like a pair of bloodshot goldfish eyes.

Finally, with a "bang".

His eyeballs exploded on his face, and two streams of thick, dark blood flowed from his eye sockets.

Then his neck tilted to the side, bending backward at a twisted angle, and he stopped breathing completely.

The hunters only needed to look up slightly to see those empty, blood-stained eyes.

"Death is a good place where people can rest in peace forever."

Now, is there anyone else who wants to go?

Li Ji withdrew his water-shaped hand, his gaze falling on the faces of the hunters below, and asked calmly.

No one dared to answer; they lowered their heads even further.
