Chapter 796 - 577: Masters of the World
Li Yi commenced the mission of demolishing mountains and temples with subtlety, yet leading a large group from the Capital, passing through Xiang City, Sanchuan County, then traversing Sishui County... After arriving at Taiyue City, covering nine cities and sixteen counties in one day, the efficiency was truly astonishing.
Furthermore, countless temples were destroyed, and innumerable divine statues were smashed during this venture.
The murder of Prince Zhao Yi in Xiang City, the execution of Guanei Marquis Wu Jin, the beheading of the City God in Sanchuan County, the extermination of Wei General—an illustrious commander from three hundred years ago—along with the devastation of the ancestral hall of the eight-hundred-year-old family in Sishui County, and along the way, the spirit monsters either perished or fled in panic.
If Master Taiyi, with three thousand Jinyi Guards, were allowed to act wantonly and without restraint, it would take less than a month for the incense fire gods across the realm to be nearly eradicated.
Therefore, upon receiving this news, the civil and military officials in the Capital erupted immediately. They were also descendants of noble families, and many had deities of princes and marquises enshrined at home. If they didn’t find a way to stop Master Taiyi’s actions, it wouldn’t take long for calamity to befall them.
Henceforth,
on the early morning of the third day of Li Yi’s actions, during the court assembly,
everyone was indignant and wished fervently to condemn Li Yi to death.
"Your Majesty, that Master Taiyi, along with three thousand Jinyi Guards, demolishes mountains and temples, slaughtering countless court official gods. This deed has shaken the foundation of the nation. I request the execution of Master Taiyi."
"I request the execution of Master Taiyi."
