The Inspector's Olive Branch

"Greetings, Your Excellency Inspector!"

Upon seeing the Token in He Liang's hand, Tuoba Ye immediately ran over and bowed respectfully in greeting.

Wang Fu and Li Gui both bowed respectfully with their hands clasped in a fist salute.

Even though the two were much older than each other, they dared not show any disrespect.

Moreover, their opponents were far stronger than them.

Hua Qiang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down; he had just been about to use his trump card.

It seems that the gap between the third level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm is too great. After all, reaching the True Immortal Realm means truly entering the threshold of cultivation, while these people can only be considered outsiders.

"Um!"

He Liang merely gave a soft "hmm" in response to the three men's respectful attitude, and then looked away from them.

It was as if these three people were nothing more than a few dung beetles on the roadside to him.

He looked Hua Qiang up and down, his brows furrowing slightly before slowly smoothing out, and even a smile appeared on his face.

"Young man, I am He Liang, the Inspector of Yinyin. May I ask your name?"

Seeing that He Liang treated him like a stranger but was kind and approachable to Hua Qiang, Tuoba Ye couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

"My name is Hua Qiang. Greetings, Your Excellency Inspector!"

Although Hua Qiang didn't know what the inspector was, he had at least seen pigs run, even if he hadn't eaten pork.

Seeing that even the city lord treated him with utmost respect and awe, this person must be of extraordinary status.

"Young man, you must have ascended from the Lower Realm, right? How long have you been here?"

Hua Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little uneasy.

This person actually saw through my identity. What do you want by asking me this?

However, he did not sense any hostility from the other party; at the very least, this person should not be his enemy.

Tuoba Ye skipped a beat, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Hua Qiang was enigmatic.

Wang Fu and Li Gui looked at Hua Qiang with anger in their eyes, but also with a hint of understanding.

No wonder this person wanted to wipe out their two Lineage; it turns out he was one of the pigs.

But then he became puzzled.

They know exactly what's going on with the piglets; they're all firmly under their control. And without cultivation resources, how could they possibly reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm?

How did this kid manage to do that?

"Well... I've been in this Immortal Spirit Continent for about two months now!" Hua Qiang answered He Liang's question.

"What?"

He Liang's eyes widened immediately; a 20-year-old Heavenly Immortal Realm didn't really catch his attention.

After all, there are quite a few inhabitants of this Immortal Spirit Continent who have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm in their teens, let alone 20-year-olds.

But now, hearing that he had come to this Immortal Realm and, in just two months, had actually leaped two major realms from the Human Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

What kind of qualification is this?

"Genius" doesn't even begin to describe him; he's more like a "monstrous talent!"

A prodigy among geniuses!

He Liang's heart immediately burned with excitement. What was originally just a faint hope had now become an intense longing.

If this kid can be used by him and help him seize that opportunity, the chances of success are definitely very high!

After all, there's still some time before the Secret Realm opens. If this kid has enough resources, he can definitely make another step forward.

He turned to Wang Fu and Li Gui, and said calmly, "The grudges between your two families and my little brother are now settled. No objections?"

Wang Fu and Li Gui both felt their blood pressure rise, shooting straight to the top of their heads, as if they were about to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, or hemiplegia at any moment.

Every able-bodied member of both families who possessed any fighting ability was killed by this bastard.

Such a horrific and inhumane case of wiping out an entire family was simply forgotten because of his casual remark.

How is that possible?

They cannot accept this outcome.

"Your Excellency Inspector, this bastard nearly wiped out our two Lineage! This is a blood feud that wipes out our entire clans! How can we let this go?"

How do we deal with the elderly, women, and children who remain?

The two old men trembled with excitement, their facial muscles contorted in a ferocious and terrifying manner.

It's like a ferocious beast that chooses its prey carefully.

"Snort!"

He Liang snorted coldly, "You all have only yourself to blame!"

You won't selectively forget all the despicable things you've done, will you?

"What right do you have to arrest them and use them as tools for your amusement or even to make money? Who gave you that authority?"

"You treat those people like pigs, making them live a life worse than pigs and dogs, a life Wutian. Do you really think the Inspector doesn't know this?"

"If it weren't for the seeds of disaster sown by your two Beast-Fighting Arena, how could we be in this situation today?"

"Inspector, I was ordered to come down to these Lower Three Heavens to investigate the filthy deeds of you people."

Even if my little brother doesn't wipe out your two families, the Inspector will still intervene and won't hold back!

This...

Wang Fu and Li Gui both gasped, then looked at each other in horror.

The inspector is here to investigate their affairs; does that mean their Lineage is doomed?

"Young brother, you should be grateful that we didn't slaughter the old, weak, women and children in your family."

Be content!

That's enough for now, I don't want to say it a second time, otherwise..."

"Alright, alright, we'll listen to the Inspector. Let's stop here and not mention revenge again."

The two old men were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, soaking their clothes, and quickly expressed their attitude.

If they really angered the inspector, their entire family would be wiped out.

He Liang then looked at the city lord Tuoba Ye Yeyu: "Such a thing happened in your jurisdiction, you cannot escape responsibility. Go and explain the problem to your superior!"

"Young man, have a drink!"

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

Hua Qiang seized the opportunity and invited He Liang Zhao Zhiqing to join him at the restaurant.

He Liang had Xiao Xin serve a new table of food and drinks, and the three of them ate and chatted.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, He Liang put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Hua Qiang's, and downed it in one gulp.

Then he said to Yu, "Brother, we hit it off, from now on we'll be brothers!"

Hua Qiang's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't offend He Liang.

"In that case, I am honored to be associated with you!"

"What are you saying, brother? We just hit it off. There's no question of us being above our station."

"When you become successful in the future, little brother, maybe it'll be my turn to marry you, who knows?"

"Haha, let's not be so formal with each other."

"Alright, let's drink three cups to our brotherhood!"

After the two drank three cups in a row, He Liang produced a wooden Token with the number "three" engraved on it.

"Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you. I don't have any good gifts for you, but this token is the key to an Ancient Secret Realm. It might be a great opportunity for you!"

Hua Qiang's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Eldest Brother, this is too much! It's too expensive. I feel ashamed to accept it!"

"Hehe, brother, don't be in such a hurry to refuse, Eldest Brother have another condition!"
