Yinhai Grand Commandery, Heavenly Supervision Department Branch.
The sky was overcast, and the water in the mansion's pool churned incessantly. A middle-aged man in a blue Official Robe stood upright by the pool.
Behind him, armored attendants held communication Talisman.
A somewhat solemn old man's voice continuously emanated from the Talisman:
"Lord Xu, the prodigy from the Mortal Immortal Gate Prodigy imprisoned within the territory of the Wolong Mansion is not behaving properly and continues to refuse punishment."
"Several of his colleagues also brought an elder's Token from the Red Dust Immortal Gate to the mansion today, saying that they have reported to their master and now demand that our Heavenly Supervision Department release him immediately..."
Hearing the old man's report behind him, a hint of anger flashed in Xu Chengbi's eyes. "Outrageous!"
They're really like dogs that will climb onto the roof and tear off tiles if left undisciplined for three days.
The audacity of these Red Dust Immortal Gate is truly growing!
Not only have the disciples and stewards of the sect repeatedly committed offenses within the Silver Sea region, but they have also frequently been subjected to violent executions after being detained.
Take the events at the Wolong Mansion as an example.
An Immortal Gate Prodigy, at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, secretly used his newly acquired advanced martial arts technique in a large city, but failed to control his strength properly.
Even with the suppression of the palace's internal Laws, more than three hundred local residents died instantly, leaving no trace of their bodies.
This action has already violated the laws of China.
That same day, the Wolong Mansion's Heavenly Supervision Department apprehended this Immortal Gate Prodigy who had attempted to escape within its territory. However, unlike in the past, they could not simply recruit him into the division to atone for his crimes.
The reason is simple.
The Wolong Mansion is only ten thousand miles away from the [Red Dust Immortal Gate]. If we rashly inscribe a life-and-death Blood Contract on this Immortal Gate Prodigy, it will likely provoke extreme dissatisfaction from the Immortal Sect's higher-ups.
The Red Dust Immortal Gate is now a truly first-class power in the Eastern Continent, with countless experts within its ranks.
With their unpredictable and mysterious methods, if they wanted to secretly do something to the Wolong Mansion, the death of more than three hundred civilians would be far more serious.
Even the elderly man in Wolong Prefecture Official might be in mortal danger.
Moreover, a single hair can affect the whole situation.
The Yinhai Grand Commandery has more than twenty prefectures, and any unexpected event would be a burden that no single prefectural Manager could bear.
Forced by circumstances.
The Wolong Prefecture Official could only imprison that Immortal Gate Prodigy within the manor for the time being.
He then quickly handed the memorial to the [Minister of Justice] of the Yinhai Grand Commandery, inquiring about specific solutions.
"..."
Xu Chengbi was also somewhat annoyed by this.
As the Assistant Minister, any misstep could cause immeasurable damage to the county.
Therefore, for the sake of stabilizing the situation within the prefecture, he has already made many concessions to the Red Dust Immortal Gate.
But the Snake God at this Mountain Gate just wouldn't stay still.
How long has it been since the last incident of refusing to submit to the law, and now another prodigy from a celestial Sun Moon Realm and Immortal Gate Prodigy has emerged...
This is absolutely outrageous!
Do they think the people of his Yinhai Grand Commandery are made of straw?!
"Wolong Mansion, heed my command!"
Xu Chengbi's voice suddenly turned cold. "I order you to immediately seal off the prison, cut off all sources of Spiritual Energy for that Immortal Gate Prodigy, and then use the [Meridian Fusion and Bone Transformation Array] to temper his temper!"
"If he's still unwilling to atone for his sins by inscribing Blood Contract, then let him stay in prison for three hundred years!"
Upon hearing this, the old man on the other end of the Talisman remained silent for a moment before replying:
"I understand now. What about his colleagues?"
"Send them back to where they came from. If they're not satisfied, let their master come find me in person!"
Xu Chengbi waved his hand slightly annoyed. "I have to meet with a distinguished guest from headquarters today. If there's nothing else, let's leave now."
He didn't believe that the Red Dust Immortal Gate Sect would dare to completely break with the Heavenly Supervision Department over a mere prodigy at the Sun Moon Realm.
"This..."
The old man hissed softly, intending to say something like, "Lord Xu, please reconsider."
In the end, I couldn't bring myself to say it.
Like Xu Chengbi, he also felt that the Yinhai Heavenly Supervision Department had been yielding for too long and it was time to show its fangs.
To prevent the Red Dust Immortal Gate from becoming increasingly arrogant.
Thinking of this, he replied in a deep voice, "The Wolong Mansion obeys."
After the old man finished speaking...
The Talisman that provided communication benefits also completely vanished.
"Well."
After a brief silence, Xu Chengbi let out a long sigh.
If it were the previous Chief Minister of the Yinhai Grand Commandery who was at the Divine Connection Realm, he probably would have made the same choice as today long ago.
But when it came to him, things were delayed again and again.
Anyone in that situation would feel a sense of impotent rage.
No way.
Even in terms of the application of [Faithful Wish Power], he, who was only at the half-step Divine Connection Realm, was far inferior to that former Minister of Justice who was at the Divine Connection Realm.
The other party was transferred to the Western Continent for reinforcements, so they had no choice but to have him temporarily take over the position before leaving.
It's inevitable that we'll feel constrained.
Anyone who thinks of the two True Person of Divine Connection of the Red Dust Immortal Gate would become hesitant and indecisive due to unease.
"How many more days until the distinguished guest mentioned by headquarters arrives?"
Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Xu Chengbi looked at his subordinates behind him and asked.
The fact that such a strong measure can be taken today is remarkable.
One reason is that he had indeed harbored resentment towards the Red Dust Immortal Gate for too long.
But a large part of the reason is that this Guest Elder who came from headquarters is also a half-step Divine Connection Realm expert, and an undisputed king in this realm.
This is what he was somewhat looking forward to.
It should be noted that the cultivation of the half-step Divine Connection Realm can be divided into two stages.
The first half of the process focuses on refining the space between the eyebrows and one's own Dharma Form.
The second half involves compressing the space between the eyebrows and gradually mastering the corresponding Power of Law.
Even the headquarters' [Record Keeper] say that this guest elder is the king of this realm, and is most likely a Laws cultivator in the latter half of the process.
If we can get this person's help, the situation in Yinhai Grand Commandery will likely be more stable.
"Reporting to the Chief Justice, that [Record Keeper] did not explain clearly."
The attendant, head bowed, added hesitantly, "He only said 'soon'."
"Soon?"
A bitter smile appeared on Xu Chengbi's lips.
The Eastern Continent is vast, Power of Law can greatly restrict the circulation of true qi, which limits even High-Tier Martial Artist in many ways.
They wanted to get from headquarters to this Yinhai Grand Commandery.
Even for a half-step Divine Connection Realm expert skilled in long-distance travel, it would take at least three to five days...
Thinking of this, Xu Chengbi shook his head slightly.
He was just about to send his men to prepare when he went to the storeroom to find some good tea suitable for entertaining guests.
Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the distant sky.
This is...
Xu Chengbi subconsciously looked up.
Boom!--
The next moment, a dazzling golden light tore through the sky, instantly filling his entire eye socket, and descended directly into the vast mansion!
The official in charge of the Yinhai Grand Commandery was slightly taken aback.
Immediately afterwards.
Then a young, indifferent voice echoed in his ears, shaking his very soul:
"Assistant Magistrate Xu."
"I've heard that there's a top-tier force called [Red Dust Immortal Gate] within your Yinhai Grand Commandery, and their recent actions have been incredibly reckless—"
The newcomer glanced in his direction and said, "Trouble tell me in detail just how brazen they are."
As he spoke, a gust of wind swept through the boy's white coat, making it flutter like a battle flag. Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from him, Xu Chengbi's breathing quickened, and surprise rapidly appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, the heavy atmosphere in the sky seemed to surge like flowing water, and the heart of the Silver Sea Division Chief was also filled with turbulent waves!
Incredible--
There is actually such a powerful Half-step True Person in the world!
