Dominance, tyranny, that was the impression Su Yuwei gave Wang Junze.

This seemed to be the complete opposite of Luo Qingxuan.

Even though he had many questions before arriving, at this moment, he seemed not to know what to ask. This was the pressure brought by Su Yuwei.

With a bitter smile, Wang Junze organized his thoughts, calmed himself, and finally asked, "Brother Lu once told me not to easily join a sect or family. Is it because people from the Judgment Department cannot be associated with these forces?"

"Yes!"

Su Yuwei answered indifferently, "The Judgment Department only takes orders from the emperor, acting on behalf of heaven. Thus, it is imperative that its people remain impartial. If they are connected with these families or sects, how can they ensure absolute fairness in law enforcement?"

"Is it merely to maintain fairness? What about the Profound Moon Sword Sect?" Wang Junze asked again, "Today at the City Lord's Mansion, what I felt was not just that."

"Take this incident with the ruins for example. Since the target is the Deserters, why can't we cooperate with the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

This question was somewhat sharp, but Wang Junze couldn't help but ask, feeling the need to voice his thoughts.

"Is it really just the Deserters we're dealing with?"

Looking at Wang Junze, Su Yuwei calmly retorted.

"???"

This remark left Wang Junze a bit dumbfounded. What does this mean?

Shaking his head, before Wang Junze could speak, Lu Qing mocked, "Today at the City Lord's Mansion, with so many people present, Luo Qingxuan directly mentioned the ruins. Guess, can these people truly keep it a secret?"

This question suddenly made Wang Junze's heart skip a beat, and he immediately realized what Lu Qing meant, incredulously asking, "Brother Lu, are you saying that some of these people might collude with the Deserters?"

"Deserters aren't good at divining. The appearance of the ruins is something they can't predict. If no one tipped them off, by the time the ruins emerge, there wouldn't be many Deserters able to reach it." Lu Qing said coldly, "If you don't believe it, just wait and see how many Desert Powerhouses show up."

"A large number of Deserters moving south might not threaten Jubei City, but how many villagers and townspeople around will die at the hands of Deserters?"

"But wait, that doesn't make sense!" With a look of horror in his eyes, Wang Junze asked incredulously, "If that's really the case, why would Luo Qingxuan reveal this matter? Why not just wait until the ruins open and go directly? There's no need to inform anyone else!"

"The benefit of the ruins' emergence is so great that even the Profound Moon Sword Sect can't swallow it all." Lu Qing sneered, "Although the Profound Moon Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Northern Domain, there are numerous sects large and small. If they dared to take it all, don't you believe those sects would unite to retaliate against the Profound Moon Sword Sect?"

"..."

"To put it plainly, it's all for profit! The Profound Moon Sword Sect leaked the news and allowed other sects and families to share the spoils, thereby maintaining its status as the number one sect in the Northern Domain while reaping the greatest benefits. As for whether this would lead to Deserters benefiting and many dying... nobody really cares!" Lu Qing continued, "This time, Miss and I personally came to Jubei City to suppress this matter and prevent the news from leaking, but what was the result?"

"You saw it yourself; your City Lord of Jubei City colluded with Luo Qingxuan for his own benefit, leaking the news and even posing as if it was all for everyone's good. Isn't that disgusting?"

"..."

These words made Wang Junze break into a cold sweat.

He never expected that such a simple banquet could hide so many thoughts and calculations under the surface.

The appearance of the Ancient Ruins was originally a good thing, but under these people's schemes, it turned into a battle, which could become a massive disaster for ordinary people!

Waving her hand, Su Yuwei stopped Lu Qing from speaking further, looked at Wang Junze, and said calmly, "There's one more thing I may not have made clear earlier."

"I intended to bring you into the Judgment Department, but that doesn't mean you can already join it. If your disposition is poor, no matter how talented you are, you can't enter the Judgment Department." Su Yuwei said flatly, "Now you still have time to consider, but if you join the Judgment Department and still act for personal gain and abuse the law, I will personally remove you!"

Looking at Wang Junze, Su Yuwei continued, "I disdain lying, so I might as well speak openly with you."

"With your talent, if you were to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect, you could easily become a True Inheritor, obtain the cultivation resources you desire, and become powerful! But if you join the Judgment Department, you must adhere to the law, uphold justice, and sometimes even sacrifice your interests for the greater good!"

"Which weighs heavier, cultivation or the lives of the people? Think clearly about this question before answering me if you are willing to join the Judgment Department!"
