Divine Realm, Zhao Kingdom, Iron Garment Division, Kyoto.
The site where Yang Ling had met with disaster had been completely sealed off.
The occasional Iron Garment passerby did not dare approach, afraid of catching bad luck.
"This happened over a month ago, didn't it? Why is there still no conclusion? Chief Yang was clearly attacked here, yet people outside are saying he died in battle on Blackfish Island?"
"Keep your voice down. The Ministry of Justice has issued a gag order. Anyone who keeps making baseless speculation will be dismissed and thrown in prison! Their spies are everywhere around here!"
"..."
"Someone's coming? Oh, it's Qin Mo, Chief Yang's old subordinate..."
"Didn't he go to Fire Jiao Island? Why is he back..."
"He must have heard the rumors!"
The Iron Garment officers responsible for sealing off the place looked slightly strange when they saw Qin Mo approaching with a large group.
Li Huaiyi saw the scene from nearby and quickly stepped forward.
"Qin Mo, what are you doing here?"
Qin Mo had met Li Huaiyi a few times and immediately replied,
"We want to go inside and take a look."
He pointed at the sealed courtyard.
Li Huaiyi pondered for a moment. "The Ministry of Justice has ordered this place sealed. Without Minister Ning's permission, no one may enter."
He lowered his voice and added,
"Other than the Director, none of the chief officers can approach this place. You should go back."
"We came all this way back just to see what happened here. As for the rumors that Chief Yang died in battle, that's pure nonsense."
Qin Mo looked solemn. "Brother, we're all colleagues. Just let us take a look."
Lin Caiyi and the others wore strange expressions, but they were certain Yang Ling had not met with disaster.
