In the silent hall, Feng Qingyue's voice was like an icy blade, tearing apart the original order and faith of the Dark Hall.

Every word carried an irresistible pressure, causing all the guards to lower their heads involuntarily.

His body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Fear, loss, and even a faint resentment, but they dare not make any sound.

Feng Qingyue closed her eyes slightly, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

As if savoring the victory of this moment, he said, "Is your loyalty limited to the fallen hall master? Now that you've knelt, from now on, your loyalty will belong entirely to me."

Her voice was filled with cold threats, echoing in every corner of the hall and sending chills through everyone's hearts.

She waved her hand gently, pointing to the guards on one side: "Put away everyone's weapons."

Several guards hesitated for a moment, but under Feng Qingyue's cold gaze, they quickly stepped aside and retracted all their weapons.

In the hall, weapons were neatly stacked on one side. Everyone seemed to have lost the power to resist and surrendered completely.

Feng Qingyue stood up, her steps calm and firm. Every step seemed to step on everyone's heart. She had a strong aura and was full of pressure.

She glanced at the guards before her, her voice low but full of pressure: "From today on, all decisions within the Dark Hall will be made jointly by the Deputy Hall Master and me. Each of you must obey us absolutely. If anyone dares to harbor dissenting thoughts, today's lesson will serve as a warning."

She paused for a moment, her cold gaze sweeping across the room: "I will not tolerate any betrayal, nor will I allow anyone to make the same mistake a second time."

Her words were like a bombshell, shattering the silence in the hall.

The guards who were still hesitating, as if driven by some invisible force, lowered their heads one after another, showing irresistible obedience.

"Very good." Feng Qingyue nodded slightly and looked at Su Jin.

"Su Jin, start arranging new personnel. Every guard must be re-examined. I don't want to see anyone who is unqualified continue to stay in the Dark Hall."

Su Jin lowered his head slightly, his voice calm and firm: "Yes, Hall Master."

Feng Qingyue's gaze swept across the hall.

Suddenly, one of the guards showed a look of struggle and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he spoke: "Master, Deputy Master, if we are unqualified in any way...will we be dealt with immediately?"

Feng Qingyue's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if a sharp ice blade pierced into people's hearts.

She said coldly, "Those who fail will be dealt with. From today on, the rules of the Dark Hall will not tolerate any laxity or mistakes."

The guard immediately lowered his head, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he dared not say anything more.

Feng Qingyue turned around and scanned the entire room. "Next, I will personally examine the abilities and loyalty of each person. If I find anyone unqualified, they will be eliminated."

Her voice was sonorous and powerful, like a sharp sword, piercing the air and piercing everyone's heart.

She stood there, her aura as strong as a mountain. Everyone felt the irresistible pressure, and every word seemed to crush their strength to resist.

Soon after, several guards brought back the fallen hall master.

His body was carefully bandaged, but the wounds were still bleeding. He was unconscious and his eyes were full of regret and unwillingness.

When his gaze swept over Feng Qingyue, his eyes were full of fear.

Feng Qingyue stared at him coldly: "You have already failed."

The hall master's lips trembled slightly, and he whispered, "You...how dare you?"

Feng Qingyue smiled contemptuously, walked up to the hall master, and looked down at him: "Everything you have will collapse in my hands. You will not be allowed to interfere with the future of the Dark Hall."

She paused, a cold glint in her eyes. "Take him there and deal with him. It won't be long before the Dark Hall will have a new beginning. Everything you've done over the years will become a thing of the past."

Several guards rushed forward and helped the hall master away.

The hall master was still pale and covered in blood, but he had no strength to resist.

Feng Qingyue's eyes never left him until he was led out of the lobby, then she turned back to the center.

"The new rules of the Dark Hall will be implemented now."

Feng Qingyue's voice was cold and firm, as if it was the final verdict on everyone's fate.

"Today you have witnessed the true strength of a strong person. If you can survive this storm, then this is your chance. If you are unwilling to accept the new rules, you will be the next to be abandoned."

The atmosphere in the hall became depressing again. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Everyone could feel the powerful aura, and they clearly realized that the future of the Dark Hall was no longer what they were familiar with.

Feng Qingyue walked to her seat and sat down, a cold smile in her eyes: "From now on, the Dark Hall will be completely under my control, and no one will be allowed to resist."

Her voice had no echo, but every guard could feel it, the final verdict on their fate.

In the next few days, Feng Qingyue and Su Jin intensively examined every member of the Dark Hall.

She ordered each guard to submit a personal ability assessment report and conducted strict assessments and reassignments on each person.

Everyone is waiting for her decision, which not only concerns their life and death, but also determines their future status in the Dark Hall.

At the same time, Feng Qingyue did not give anyone a chance to breathe, and strictly eliminated those unqualified guards according to her standards.

Those who stayed knew that they would face new challenges and tests.

The fate of the Dark Hall is completely in Feng Qingyue's hands.

At this moment, a cold light flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes, and she slowly said, "Summon the person responsible for the defense of the Dark Hall."

Several middle-aged guards who were in charge of defense were called out. Their faces were full of fatigue, but they still maintained the necessary awe and vigilance when facing Feng Qingyue.

Feng Qingyue glanced at them coldly, her voice devoid of any warmth. "You've been in charge of the defenses for many years. The Dark Hall's defenses were once somewhat effective, but now, I've decided to redeploy them. All existing defenses are null and void."

Several defense personnel were stunned. One of them couldn't help but say, "Master, the defense plan has been in place for many years. If such a drastic adjustment is made—"

Feng Qingyue's eyes were as cold as ice as she interrupted him, "Since I've decided to change, I won't tolerate any doubts. Your defenses are too rigid and can no longer adapt to the current situation. Now, begin revising your deployment."

Her gaze was sharp as a knife. "We need a flexible defense, not a fixed one. The Dark Hall can no longer rely on the old guard structure."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Su Jin and said, "Su Jin, mobilize the elite forces and assist them in re-planning their defenses to ensure that the defense line is concealed and has the ability to adapt."

Su Jin nodded, his voice decisive: "Yes, Hall Master."

A glint of determination flashed in her eyes. "A new deployment and a new order must begin immediately. The future of the Dark Hall will be completely reshaped from this moment on."
