Chapter 92: Full Seizure of Power

As one person after another entered, Chu Yang began to observe from the outside, continuing even after he returned to his room, still testing. But after everyone had gone through, there was still no discovery. Perhaps, there was nothing left; or perhaps, there were still some, but they were old foxes, not easily exposing their true colors. Chu Yang himself did not have high hopes of finding anything, so he simply let everyone pass.

By the time everyone had gone through, it was almost midnight. Those waiting in the hall did not dare to move, and no one said they were hungry, just waiting obediently.

Chu Yang finally came out, his face heavy. His heavy expression made everyone uneasy, looking at Chu Yang's face. It seemed... the situation was not good? Could there be many more who were secretly colluding?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chu Yang finally spoke.

"I am deeply pained!" Chu Yang frowned and sighed deeply. "I thought that everyone here is from Ti Yun, and no matter what, you should have a passion and deep love for your homeland and your country. Two million eight hundred thousand of our brothers have already become heroes in the sky, and we, I really did not expect... that you would actually..."

Complete silence. It seemed there really were some?

"If you were from Da Zhao, doing this would be understandable! Because you are doing it for your country, for your homeland. But you are from Ti Yun! For a few taels of silver, for the empty promises of others, you are willing to hand over six hundred million compatriots to others? To let them trample and abuse them at will! Are you even human!"

Chu Yang seemed very agitated, his face flushed.

The more than seventy martial artists and martial masters below were as silent as cicadas in winter.

"I will reiterate, if you are from Da Zhao and commit such a crime, I will only kill you! But if you are from Ti Yun, I will exterminate your entire clan!" Chu Yang sternly asked, "Everyone, do you think this is right or not?"

"Right!" a chorus of voices responded.

"Too right, such traitors deserve to have their entire clan exterminated!"

"They should be recorded in history and cursed for eternity!"

"Since everyone has seen the light, I will not say more. I only hope that everyone can take this as a lesson! A good thing like today, where past mistakes are forgiven, will only happen once in your life!"

Chu Yang spoke with a voice heavy and solemn.

The people below, though they had not betrayed, felt a sense of guilt. Two million eight hundred thousand heroes had already sacrificed themselves, and they had done nothing. From the tone of the Imperial Seat, it seemed there were still traitors, and some were wavering?

This was truly outrageous!

"Next, I will announce the new power distribution of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. From today on, the Heaven Mending Pavilion will be divided into three teams. The first team is called 'Iron Blood,' directly responsible to me; it will handle punishment!"

"Iron Blood, the blood of Ti Yun, demands absolute loyalty!" Chu Yang's eyes flashed with authority as he said, "In this world, everything must have rules! If the rules are not strict, there will be loopholes; where there are loopholes, there will be losses; once losses occur, it will be your lives! The Heaven Mending Pavilion is primarily about killing, not business. Everyone must understand this! Therefore, everyone must unconditionally obey Iron Blood!"

"Yes, we will follow the Imperial Seat's orders! Establishing Iron Blood is entirely appropriate."

Chu Yang nodded. By proposing this first rule, he had tightened the grip on the entire Heaven Mending Pavilion. The phrase "unconditional obedience to Iron Blood" was not just words.

"The second team is called 'Fierce Blood,' the fierce blood of Ti Yun, always ready for dangerous missions, the fist of the entire Heaven Mending Pavilion! This team is the most important part of the Heaven Mending Pavilion!"

Chu Yang looked at Cheng Ziang with a trusting gaze and said sincerely, "I believe that such a great and arduous task can only be entrusted to you, Lord Cheng!"

Cheng Ziang was taken aback, stepped forward, and bowed. "I will follow the Imperial Seat's orders."

Cheng Ziang saw through Chu Yang's intentions clearly. Chu Yang was determined to centralize all power of the Heaven Mending Pavilion in his own hands. By accepting the position of the second team leader, Cheng Ziang would be stepping down from the position of Pavilion Master.

From now on, the Heaven Mending Pavilion would have no Pavilion Master, only an Imperial Seat!

But over the course of the day, Chu Yang had not only established his own authority but also completely undermined the credibility of the original two Pavilion Masters. Even if they were still placed in the position of Pavilion Master, it would be in name only, with no real power. Moreover, after such a major mistake, they had no face to remain in their positions.

At this moment, they were filled with guilt and regret. Chu Yang's proposal hit their soft spot. If they protested, they would likely face a chorus of disapproval from everyone.

So, Cheng Ziang had to accept the position of the second team leader, whether he wanted to or not. Chu Yang's momentum was like the midday sun, leaving Cheng Ziang with no room for resistance!

Chu Yang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Lord Cheng's skills are unparalleled, a top expert in the world. I am completely at ease."

"Thank you for your praise, Imperial Seat." Cheng Ziang smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that this guy had reduced him to nothing, stripped him of his power, lowered his status, and shattered his reputation, and he still had to thank him. What a bizarre world...

"The third team will be named..." Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then decisively said, "The third team will be named 'Heavenly Strategy,' and all intelligence of the Heaven Mending Pavilion will be under your control. This is the lifeline of our Heaven Mending Pavilion. If the information is wrong, it could cost us our lives! So..."

Heavenly Strategy was the name of Mo Tianji! The mastermind Mo Tianji, the one responsible for Chu Yang's death in his previous life. Chu Yang deliberately named the intelligence department after him to constantly remind himself.

There was still a powerful enemy waiting for him, and any slackness would lead to an irredeemable fate at the hands of Mo Tianji!

No one understood the terror of Mo Tianji better than Chu Yang.

"Imperial Seat, I am willing to take on the position of the third team leader; to alleviate the worries of the Crown Prince and the Imperial Seat." Chen Yutong stepped forward before Chu Yang finished speaking, volunteering.

Cheng Ziang had already submitted, so why should he resist? It was better to offer a favor. To avoid losing his place in the Heaven Mending Pavilion.

This Imperial Seat was personally brought by the Crown Prince, a person appointed by the entire Ti Yun Kingdom. Why should he clash with him... Chen Yutong thought.

"Thank you, Lord Chen. I was just worried that there was no mature and wise leader for Heavenly Strategy. Now that you are willing to take on the role, I am truly delighted!" Chu Yang said with genuine surprise.

Delighted my ass! If I don't speak up, you'll just force it on me. Cheng Ziang's example is right here, and I'm not stupid... Chen Yutong grumbled inwardly but smiled on the surface. "We are all from Ti Yun. Being able to serve our country is the greatest honor for us martial artists!"
