At the same time, my wife is myself.

The general has been watching me!

Kujo Sara was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling an urge to die for the Raiden General immediately.

Qianyuan said, "Now go and summon the heads of those two families, as well as their key personnel. Kujo Sara, don't disappoint the general."

"Yes!"

Kujo Sara's inner turmoil overcame her pain, and her eyes were filled with determination.

I must prove my loyalty to the General!

I should be able to update more tomorrow.

Chapter 75 Eightfold Divine Child: I was here first! (6k)

Since it was the Thunder General's summons, Kujo Takayuki, who commanded the two great magistrates, and Hiiragi Shinsuke, along with their trusted confidants, rushed to the castle tower as quickly as possible.

However, General Lei Dian never got involved in official matters; they were the ones who regularly reported to her on important issues. It was because of this that they were certain that General Lei Dian was incompetent in government affairs, which is why they dared to deceive her and seek personal gain for themselves.

The sudden summons from General Raiden made them somewhat uneasy. Although they tried to subtly inquire with Kujo Sara about why he had summoned them, Kujo Sara remained silent with a cold expression.

Shinsuke Hiiragi was somewhat disappointed, as it seemed he wouldn't be able to get any information from this loyal dog of the Thunder General, while Takayuki Kujo's expression was rather grim.

Having adopted Kujo Sara as a child, he knew Kujo Sara's personality all too well. Although she was rigid, she was still respectful to him, her adoptive father. However, this time he noticed Kujo Sara's coldness and a hint of anger in her eyes.

What on earth happened to make her disrespect me, her adoptive father?

Kujo Takayuki had a bad feeling.

Before entering the castle tower, Kujo Sara finally spoke:

"This time, the General has chosen a proxy. Afterwards, the proxy, Lord Qianyuan, will ask you questions. Once inside, do not be disrespectful to Lord Qianyuan."

Questioning? What questions?

Kujo Takayuki's heart sank, and Hiiragi Shinsuke realized something was wrong. But they were already at the door, and there was no way to leave. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.

As soon as they entered the Tenshukaku, the two family heads looked up and met Qianyuan Youyin's deep eyes.

Hypnotic magic, start!

Chien asked, "Kujo Takayuki, explain clearly how you colluded with the Fools."

"Yes."

Kujo Takayuki, his eyes vacant, spilled out everything like beans from a bamboo tube: "The Eye Hunting Order was given to me by the Fools to speak to the Shogun. I felt that this would benefit the Kujo family, so I spoke to the Shogun and deliberately linked the Eye of God with eternity. The Shogun was easy to fool; as long as I didn't write down the drawbacks, she wouldn't see through my ruse."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his trusted men behind him were all sweating profusely. "Dude, if you're going to do something stupid, just do it, but please don't drag us into it!"

To be so disrespectful to the General is not just something to think about, but to say it out loud. This is far more serious than colluding with the Fools!

This is a capital offense!

No one can save you!

They immediately knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the earth, not daring to breathe.

Kujo Sara wished he could chop Kujo Takayuki in half with one stroke; how dare he be so disrespectful to the Shogun!

Shinsuke Hiiragi broke out in a cold sweat. Of course, his old friend couldn't have lost his mind and blurted out such disrespectful thoughts. He was being controlled!

What if I were to be controlled in the future and say such disrespectful things?

There was no way to resist. The general was sitting right there. If he turned around and ran, he might be beheaded before he even got out the door.

Completely unable to think of a way out, he could only close his eyes and silently repeat: I respect the general very much, I respect the general very much.

He was trying to brainwash himself in this way so that he wouldn't say such disrespectful things.

Hearing that Kujo Takayuki thought she was easy to fool, Raiden General frowned unhappily. However, she had promised Chiyori not to speak, so she sat there upright. But outside, thunder roared, deafeningly loud, which was Raiden General's anger.

Even Kujo Takayuki, who was under hypnosis, broke free from this rage. Realizing what he had said, Kujo Takayuki's face turned deathly pale. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to the Thunder General:

"General, spare my life! General, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again!"

Her forehead was covered in blood, and she looked terrible. Qianyuan was pondering a question:

He said that General Raiden was ignorant of politics and easy to fool. Does this count as leaking Inazuma's top secrets?

Chiyori once again used hypnotic magic to control him, forcing him to continue revealing information, and Kujo Takayuki's eyes became lifeless again:

"The rebels on Haizhi Island originally had no intention of rebelling. It was I who deliberately provoked them with harsh measures, forcing them to rebel."

"When the vengeful spirits broke out on Hachiyeon Island, I secretly instructed the shogunate soldiers to pretend to send ships to evacuate the villagers of Hiki Village, but in reality, they sank the ships halfway and framed the resistance army."

“When the Mikage furnace core of the Tatakasa leaked, I deliberately ignored the contaminated area and ordered Kujo Masahiro, who was stationed at the front line, to forcibly attack the rebels.”

Kujo Sara was furious. He didn't even spare his own soldiers. The Kujo family was in charge of the military, and if this news got out, it would definitely shake the morale of the army.

Chiyuki said, "It seems you don't care at all about the people of Inazuma, nor about what will happen to Inazuma."

Kujo Takayuki said nonchalantly, "Of course I don't care about those lowly people. As for Inazuma, that's not something I need to worry about. Anyway, Raiden-shogun will definitely take care of it."

You're treating General Thunder like toilet paper, just there to clean up your messes. In a country ruled by gods, you not only have no respect for them, but you also treat them as tools for personal gain.

Kujo Sara closed her eyes in anguish, the last shred of respect she had for her adoptive father vanishing. She knew all too well that the Kujo family was finished.

To say such things in front of General Thunder and the three chief ministers must be severely punished, otherwise how will General Thunder save face?

It's even possible to expel the Kujo family from the family!

Even after the hypnosis was lifted, Kujo Magistrate's eyes remained lifeless. He was doomed, and not only him, but the entire Kujo family was finished.

He was now utterly despondent and didn't want to face this reality. His trusted confidants from the Kujo family, including his son Kujo Kamaji, also knew they were doomed. They all knelt on the ground, trembling like leaves. If it weren't for the awe-inspiring power of the gods, they wouldn't dare to be disrespectful in front of the emperor and might have soiled themselves on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Shinsuke Hiiragi immediately knelt down and recounted in detail his collusion with the female executive officer of the Fools Clan and the large-scale resale of crystallized bone marrow. He was afraid that Chien might hypnotize him and say something even more fatal, which would be fatal for him.

“Crystallized bone marrow is a strategic resource of Inazuma. Selling it to the Empire is a serious crime.”

Qian Yuan was not joking. The crystallized bone marrow contains the resentment of demons and gods, and is a high-quality forging material. Adding it to weapons can greatly improve the quality of the weapons.

He still managed to hypnotize Shinsuke Hiiragi. Hilarious! Chiyori showed absolutely no sympathy whatsoever.

What is the purpose of the Fools doing this?

Qianyuan was well aware of this, but if she wanted General Leidian to know as well, she had to let her hear it with her own ears.

Shinsuke Hiiragi replied, "Whether it's the isolation order or the eye-hunting order, it's all to incite chaos in Inazuma. They'll then stir up war, harvest Inazuma's resources, and use crystallized bone marrow to create evil eyes, which they'll provide to the rebels to help them resist our suppression of the rebellion, and collect data on the evil eyes."

"For them, Inazuma is a natural resource area and testing ground. In such chaotic times, they can freely obtain precious resources and find people to conduct experiments."

Qianyuan sighed, "It seems you don't care about Inazuma at all."

Shinsuke Hiiragi said blankly, "Anyway, with the General here, I'm not afraid of them causing any trouble."

No one dared to look up; they could feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the throne, as if a natural disaster was about to erupt.

However, as an artificial intelligence, General Raiden faithfully kept his promise to Chiyori and didn't say a single word.

“The treacherous officials have already shown themselves: Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke.”

Qianyuan clapped her hands and said, "Tell me who was involved in all of this."

Shinsuke Hiiragi rattled off a long list of names, much like reciting a menu, and Takayuki Kujo did the same.

Kujo Sara's face grew increasingly grim as she listened. There were just too many people, almost all of them were rotten. No wonder Inazuma was so depraved; this major threat was right inside the castle tower!

If this part is rotten, the whole Inazuma will be rotten!

"This is truly a case of unity from top to bottom, and collusion between insiders and outsiders."

Qianyuan released the two from hypnosis, and stood up with her dream in hand. "According to the usual practice, a duel in front of the emperor. If you win, everything is settled. If you lose, neither of your families will have any reason to exist."

He beckoned to the group with his finger: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. All of you, come at me together."

Not only Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, but also their confidants, all had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

With so many people joining in, we might have a chance!

No matter how powerful he is, he might not be able to kill us all!

Thinking of this, they drew their long swords and charged toward Qianyuan.

"too slow."

Qian Yuan has combined the martial arts skills from Lei's movies, making him a battle-hardened and highly skilled martial artist. In his eyes, the martial arts skills of these people are too crude.

Even without using any other power, skill alone is enough to crush them.

With one stroke, he beheaded Kujo Takayuki; with the second, he beheaded Hiiragi Shinsuke, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Before the others could even see what was happening, the two heads of the family died on the spot, and their morale collapsed instantly.

"It's impossible to win, there's absolutely no chance of winning."

They dropped their knives and tried to run away, but a sudden, heavy pressure pressed them firmly to the ground.

They must kneel down, banging their heads on the ground as if in complete submission, to find some relief; any resistance will shatter their leg bones and force them to kneel.

Mimicry Star of Eden.

Qianyuan manipulated gravity, forcibly pressing them to the ground. As expected, there were no hard bones; everyone's leg bones were intact.

He said, "Kujo Sara, send men to tie them up and put them in jail for proper interrogation. Arrest all those involved, and kill anyone who dares to resist."

"After being caught, they will be severely punished according to the severity of their crimes. Among the descendants of the two heads of the family, innocent people will be demoted to commoners, forbidden from using their current surnames, and barred from holding official positions for three generations."

"Those sentenced to death will be gathered together and publicly executed three days later."

"You will become the head of the Kujo family from now on. As for the Hiiragi family, replace them directly and they are no longer needed. You and the Kamisato family will temporarily manage the properties under the jurisdiction of the Kansei Magistrate until a new head is established and appointed, at which point they will be returned to him."

Kujo Sara knelt on the ground: "Acting Lord, I didn't even realize that my father's act of betrayal was so serious and he was guilty of a crime. Does he really deserve to be the head of the Kujo family?"

"It is a reward for your loyalty."

Chiyori said, "Use your abilities to wash away the sins that the Kujo family bears."

"Yes!"

Kujo Sara's voice shook the heavens. If one could see her attribute panel, her loyalty, which was already at its maximum, had probably already exceeded its limit and reached another level.

Aya Shinri, who witnessed the trial, was terrified and even somewhat relieved that her father had died young. She was also young when she succeeded to the throne, and the Shinri family was in turmoil, struggling just to keep it afloat. The other two heads of the family looked down on her and didn't include her at all.

Otherwise, the Kamisato family would probably suffer the same fate as the Hiiragi family, being expelled from the family. They don't have fanatics like Kujo Sara.

Qianyuan said to him meaningfully, "Master of the Shenli family, the lessons of the past are right before your eyes. You must remember their lessons."

Ayato Kamisato's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "Please, Acting Lord, the Kamisato family will never repeat the same mistakes."

After everyone else had left and the bodies and bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned up, General Thunder spoke:

"Has everything been dealt with?"

"How can it be."

Chien said, "The rebels on Umijima Island haven't been dealt with yet, and there are still the executors of the Fool Clan. Right now, there should be two executors in Inazuma."

"Oh."

General Thunder uttered a single word and then fell silent again. She was unfamiliar with political affairs, and having a trustworthy person to handle things for her was so comfortable that she didn't want to expend any effort on this matter.

Qianyuan thought she would be worried that directly eliminating almost all the members of the two factions might cause unrest, and she had already prepared a plan, but she didn't even ask.

Left with no other option, he could only ask General Raiden directly: "Should the isolation edict and the eye-hunting edict be lifted?"

"Since it's a conspiracy by the Fools, it should be thwarted, as it might hinder [Eternity]."

General Thunder gave him a strange look. "Why didn't you just give the order?"

I give up. Of course I'm afraid you'll drag me into a duel. Even after Lei Movie lifted those two bans, you dragged me into a battle in the consciousness space for hundreds of years.

Qian Yuan never expected that the usually rigid General Lei Dian would quickly learn the most important and core skill for civil servants: shifting blame.

Fortunately, he was only cleaning up the mess and trying to calm Inazuma down when the lightning actually appeared. After that, he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Since Raiden has truly come back to life, Inazuma will naturally still be in charge of managing things; as long as you're alive, you have to go to work!

Soon, news of the cancellation of the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order spread throughout Inazuma. At the same time, news also spread throughout Inazuma that the head of the Tenryō Magistrate and the Kanjō Magistrate had treasoned and was beheaded on the spot in the castle tower by the Raiden General's proxy.

The rest of those involved were imprisoned and awaiting trial. Those with serious crimes were immediately expedited and publicly executed the following day!

With hypnotic magic at work, there's no need to worry about misjudgments or mishandling. Qianyuan can just work a little overtime and everything will be taken care of.

With his current powerful magic, he could hypnotize everyone with just a glance from where he stood, in less than a second. The most time-consuming part was the journey itself.

When interrogating Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, they came one by one, simply wanting to torment the others' minds and enjoy seeing them on the verge of collapse.
