Chapter 1436: Chapter 1437: Fatty Mao Er Returns (2)
These documents contain numerous color photographs, each soaked in blood. They depict a family of three dismembered by five horses, an underage girl raped and murdered, and an elderly man dragged behind a truck along the ground. Beside each photograph, the events and reasons are recorded in black on white paper.
An Yiqing didn’t understand what motivated Long Zaitian to meticulously document his deeds. Seeing this thick stack of files, she genuinely felt that the phrase "heinous crimes" was insufficient to describe the monstrous sins Long Zaitian had committed.
This man deserves to die!
"Sect Leader, I’m sorry! It’s my incompetence that allowed Long Zaitian and the Shao Brothers to commit so many wrongdoings. You can scold me!" Chiang Yu’s face was heavy, each photograph felt like a sharp knife stabbing his heart.
An Yiqing said nothing, her gaze fell upon the photographs with a look of indescribable emotion.
After a long while, she deeply sighed, "This matter isn’t your fault, you were oppressed by Long Zaitian for so many years; being able to protect yourself is already commendable. I used to think the Xuanqing Sect was merely somewhat decayed, but now it seems my thoughts were too naive. If the Xuanqing Sect doesn’t reform sharply, it might be doomed in the near future!"
Chiang Yu wasn’t a fool; actually, he was very smart. Considering the relations carefully, his back suddenly felt chilled. No walls in the world are impenetrable, others must know about Long Zaitian’s actions. Despite the apparent indifference of Xuanjin’s higher-ups, these astute leaders surely have an eye on their every move. If one day Long Zaitian’s deeds are fully exposed, the Xuanqing Sect will surely be implicated. Worst case, all the Xuanqing Sect members would lose their freedom over this affair!
Only then did Chiang Yu begin to feel thankful for his choice. Rather than continuing with Long Zaitian, he chose An Yiqing for the future of the Xuanqing Sect. This was the most correct decision he has ever made!
"Sect Leader, what do you plan to do?" Chiang Yu steadied himself, the urgent matter wasn’t anger, but finding a way to resolve these past issues thoroughly.
An Yiqing slightly narrowed her eyes, her lips tightly pursed, "All Xuanqing Sect members involved in these matters as per the data are to be relieved of their positions, heavily punished, and expelled from the Xuanqing Sect. The direct planners of these events and Long Zaitian’s accomplices... will be executed! This time, I will make an example, let’s see who dares to incur my wrath again!"
That afternoon, the long eerie silence of the Xuanqing Sect finally broke!
Led by Chiang Yu and assisted by the newly appointed Punishment Hall Master, all individuals connected to Long Zaitian’s previous misdeeds were arrested throughout the Xuanqing Sect. Those with lesser involvement faced penalties and expulsion; while the masterminds suffered executions at the hands of Punishment Hall members, a fate worse than death!
Instantly, the Xuanqing Sect’s Punishment Hall became everyone’s nightmare, the heart-wrenching screams of sinful sect members deeply etched into everyone’s minds. So much so, that in the days to come, no one dared defy An Yiqing’s will by engaging in heinous acts again, which was precisely An Yiqing’s purpose for such merciless means!
After several days of turmoil, the Xuanqing Sect was revitalized. Previous leaders who neglected their duties were all replaced by An Yiqing with loyal and capable new blood. During these times, Chiang Yu experienced an unprecedented sense of liberation. After being oppressed by Long Zaitian for so many years, his talents and wisdom could finally be fully displayed. Seeing the increasingly clean inner workings of the Xuanqing Sect, Chiang Yu, Uncle Zhong, and others grew deeply respectful and convinced of An Yiqing’s leadership. Her authority within the Xuanqing Sect quickly surpassed the tyrannical Long Zaitian, becoming a genuinely esteemed leader among all.
