"Detain … all of them?" Upon hearing Ji Shuiyan's order, the Divine Secrets Trading Company's guards were alarmed.
They also knew that the Divine Secrets Trading Company had been putting up with the Heaven Amplification Trading Company in recent days. They did not dare clash with the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, but today, dozens of people from the Heaven Amplification Trading Company had been detained. Among them were a few important figures.
Yan Tiancong had sent people to invite Ji Shuiyan, so he naturally did not send any random person. Other than Advisor Yang, who had his limbs chopped off, there was also Yan Tiancong's younger half-brother.
"Ji Shuiyan! What are you doing? I'm Yan Yangping, Yan Tiancong's younger brother. Are you planning on fighting the Heaven Amplification Trading Company by detaining me? "
It would have been fine if Yan Yangping had not mentioned Yan Tiancong, but the mention of his name infuriated Ji Shuiyan.
She knew that Yan Yangping was far inferior to Yan Tiancong. He was a foppish scion without any ability. However, Yan Yangping had used his status to act as a tyrant in Jade Luster City. He bullied both men and women, defiling countless girls. Some of them had even been raped to death by him.
Upon thinking of this, Ji Shuiyan's killing intent surged.
She suddenly beckoned with her hand as the twelve pocket-sized swords that had been pointed at Advisor Yang whistled back, stabbing straight at Yan Yangping!
"Ah!"
Yan Yangping was nearly scared out of his wits when he saw the twelve cold beams approach him. He hurriedly tried to block Ji Shuiyan's attack, but how could Yan Yangping, who usually spent his time on women, be Ji Shuiyan's match?
His protective Yuan Qi was torn apart by the swords. Following that, he let out a tragic cry as his limbs were severed by four swords! Just as his limbs were severed, before blood could flow out, another four swords sliced off his elbows and knees! Following that, the final four swords sliced off his upper arms and thighs!
Not only had Ji Shuiyan severed Yan Yangping's limbs, she had also sliced them into three pieces!
Upon seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
Advisor Yang could be ignored. Although he held a high position, he was still an outsider to the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. As for Yan Yangping, he was the grandson of the Yan family's patriarch!
How could he let the matter rest when his grandson was reduced to such a state?
The Yan family's patriarch's strength was not something that people like Gong Yangnian or Xiao Kelin could compare with. He was an absolute expert, an existence that shook the Heaven Amplification Trading Company.
In fact, although the Divine Secrets Trading Company and the Heaven Amplification Trading Company were considered the two largest trading companies in Jade Luster City, the Heaven Amplification Trading Company had a much longer history than the Divine Secrets Trading Company. It also had a deeper heritage!
"Take him down!"
With a wave of her hand, Ji Shuiyan exuded the feeling of a high and mighty cold-blooded queen.
Many people drew a gasp as they looked at Ji Shuiyan. In fact, Ji Shuiyan had only truly come to power after Old Master Ji disappeared.
As for her, she had always been a soft-spoken person. She would tolerate whatever she could. This was also the reason why Advisor Yang was not afraid of Ji Shuiyan. From the looks of it, Ji Shuiyan was a young lass who was still wet behind the ears. What boldness could she possibly have?
But today, her decisiveness and ruthlessness had exceeded everyone's imagination. Advisor Yang and Yan Yangping had been turned into human rods. This was the price of underestimating the lass!
With a series of chaotic footsteps, the members of the Heaven Amplification Trading Company were all taken into custody. Even a few of them with decent strength did not dare resist. The deterrence Yi Yun brought was just too great.
"Send a message to the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. Bring three Heaven Access Pills to redeem the people I detained today! If not, I can't guarantee that they will return alive! "
Ji Shuiyan had made such a request because she wanted to complete Yi Yun's instructions. She would try her best to gather natural treasures, elixirs, and help Yi Yun search for the Sun Burial Sandsea's Yang spirit.
Now, the Divine Secrets Trading Company was plagued with internal and external problems. It was already in dire straits, so exchanging these people for three Heaven Access Pills to enhance Yi Yun's strength was akin to making use of trash.
The Heaven Access Pills were worth a hefty price. Even the Heaven Amplification Trading Company would feel the pinch if they were to hand over three of them. It was naturally better to hand them over, but if they did not, it would instill disloyalty in the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. It would let them know that working for the Heaven Amplification Trading Company did not necessarily lead to a good outcome.
Yi Yun naturally knew what was on Ji Shuiyan's mind. In fact, although Ji Shuiyan appeared ruthless, she had left some leeway.
If Yi Yun were to take action, it would not just be breaking limbs, but crippling one's dantian or even taking one's life.
A broken limb could still be reattached, but a destroyed dantian would be a cripple.
Ji Shuiyan's method was firstly to gather elixirs to enhance Yi Yun's strength.
Secondly, it was to probe the Yan family's bottom line. She wanted to know how much they could tolerate without an all-out war.
And Ji Shuiyan's backing for all of this was naturally Yi Yun!
Upon coming to this realization, Yi Yun nodded secretly. Ji Shuiyan's way of doing things left him satisfied. She did not forget his instructions, nor did she get carried away. Her actions might seem ruthless and decisive, but she had done so after careful deliberation.
If Yi Yun were to do it himself, he would not have considered so much. He would have just killed them and put an end to it. However, Ji Shuiyan's considerations were to maximize the benefits.
"Lock these people in the dungeons and return to the manor for a banquet!"
Ji Shuiyan's banquet was naturally not for herself, but to welcome Yi Yun.
Ji Shuiyan also knew that Yi Yun was focused on cultivation, so he probably did not enjoy a lively scene. Therefore, although there were dozens of tables outside and it was extremely lively, Yi Yun's place was a quiet and spacious living room. There was only a tiny table in the living room, but the food on it was priceless top-grade spirit food.
Ji Shuiyan knew that Yi Yun liked spiritual items, so she had spared no expense in preparing these for him.
In the living room, other than Yi Yun, there was only Ji Shuiyan and her most trusted personal maidservant.
Previously, when Ji Shuiyan had returned to the manor, she had purged all the trusted subordinates of Gong Yangnian and Xiao Kelin. Then, she had rescued her own people from the dungeons. Ji Shuiyan had used swift and decisive methods to regain control of the Divine Secrets Trading Company in a short two hours!
Ji Shuiyan showed no mercy to those who betrayed the Divine Secrets Trading Company. Exile! Cripple their cultivation! Execute them! Everything would be dealt with severely according to the Divine Secrets Trading Company's family laws.
Two hours for the purge and two hours for the trial. At the same time, there was a banquet to be held. It was a celebratory and bloody scene. In a short four hours, Ji Shuiyan, who seemed like a lamb to others, had truly become a cold-blooded queen.
Now, even those who were loyal to Ji Shuiyan felt a sense of reverence towards her, much less those who had been disloyal to her.
For example, Old Man Changsun, who had previously 'treated' Yi Yun, had felt that he was a senior in front of Ji Shuiyan, but now, he was extremely respectful.
