Prefect Cao, Is This the Soldier You Brought Out?

The ground was littered with rubble, and Sword Qi crisscrossed the area.

In this desolate wilderness, the air was thick with the scent of blood. No one dared to disobey the words of the Boy in Black; his overwhelming power was enough to prove his weight.

Even the battle-hardened deputy general of Yushan could not withstand it in the slightest...

The remaining Yushan Yao Xuan Envoy looked as if they had lost their parents. With trembling hands and feet, they carried the barely breathing Zeng Fan, then took out an ordinary Star Skiff from their Treasured Artifacts and hurriedly stood on it.

The current dire situation is just the appetizer.

The meeting with the governor later is the real issue they need to worry about.

Ye Li was doing the same thing; Zeng Fan's outstanding military achievements were irrelevant to him, and whether he lived or died was not something he could decide at the moment.

If Cao Ming denies everything or deliberately protects Zeng Fan, the Divine Fire he left in Zeng Fan's body will show no mercy.

[Current Malice Points: Points!]

My gaze swept across the panel.

Ye Li's brows relaxed, and even his resentment towards the Prefect's Mansion dissipated somewhat.

It must be said that the subordinate generals trained by the Jade Mountain Nine Luminaries Division are of high quality; their Dao Heart and serious injuries alone can bring such a large amount of Malice Points.

Millions of Malice Points.

Combined with the elixirs in the Treasured Artifacts, and this [Jade Mountain Refinement]...

Breaking through to the Dao Evolution Realm is now a certainty.

By then, the numerous requests from Longtan Grand Commandery would hardly pique his interest anymore; he only hoped to receive news of the fugitive Buddhist Disciple.

"Let's go to the prefect's mansion and demand an explanation."

Collapse the panel.

Ye Li suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, turned around and boarded his own Star Skiff, his expression returning to calm.

He wouldn't mind being an enemy of the entire Jade Mountain Nine Luminaries Division.

However, we should always consider things from Lin Huaijin's perspective. As long as Prefect Cao isn't too aggressive, he's still quite easy to talk to at this stage.

Perhaps.

Without a doubt, the chessboard of the Great Sheng Dynasty was incredibly heavy, and countless people throughout history have wanted to overturn it.

Before he possesses unbridled power, he will continue to advance at full speed.

Yushan County, Headquarters of the Nine Luminaries Division.

Outside the imposing prefectural mansion, Lieutenant General Su Yongye finally managed to persuade the gatekeepers by virtue of his own words.

He crossed the courtyard and strode into the main hall.

A familiar figure in a blue robe came into view.

"So urgent, they even dare to use such a lame excuse as an urgent report from the academy."

Looking at the young man's tense face, Cao Ming said with a hint of helplessness, "I finally got two days off, can't you be a little more considerate?"

"Prefect, I have something very important to tell you."

Su Yongye knelt down with a thud. Compared to gold, he naturally loved his colleagues more, but he couldn't bear to see them make mistakes.

He then recounted Zeng Fan's plans.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ming frowned immediately, his voice filled with growing helplessness. "I knew this kid wouldn't give up."

"The quota for Yushan was arranged long ago. Zeng Fan is not going to inspect various places in the county as before. Instead, he went to headquarters and transferred all his cronies here. Does he really think everyone else is stupid!"

He wasn't entirely unable to understand Zeng Fan's thoughts.

After all, according to the rules of previous years, this spot for refining in Longtan should indeed have been Zeng Fan's.

Unfortunately, although the quota for the Jade Mountain Refinement was nominally under Cao Ming's management, the quota was not allocated to him.

However, the Imperial City still retains the power of veto.

The Third Princess of Dasheng was deeply favored and had never participated in politics. Now that the position had been personally selected by her, even though he was the governor of the Xianjing Continent, she still had to give him face.

Zeng Fan doesn't even consider the reasons behind this!

The Dragon Pool County gained power overnight and even obtained a spot for the Jade Mountain Refinement. How could he not have a powerful figure backing him up?

"So... you knew all that?" Su Yongye looked up in surprise.

"If I had known, would I have let him act recklessly?"

Cao Ming sighed irritably, "I overestimated his intelligence. I guessed it, but I didn't expect him to dare to act like this, is that even possible?"

Actually, there are other factors that interfere.

For example, he originally intended to warn Zeng Fan, but he was so enraged by someone earlier that he didn't pay attention to it.

As for who this person is... it goes without saying.

That subordinate general from Longtan is far too arrogant.

He's currently just a Saint in the Great Void Realm, and he doesn't even take him, the Prefect of the Xianjing Continent, seriously.

If this trend continues unchecked, what will happen when he breaks through to the Domain Lord level? Will the entire Nine Luminaries Division of the Xianjing Continent be left to his own devices?

Absolutely not.

But that's what they say, and that's the logic behind it.

Even without the support of the Third Princess Longtan Grand Commandery

If you want to teach Ye Li a lesson, you should first let him see himself clearly during the Jade Mountain Refinement, and then use this incident to properly temper his character.

Instead of resorting to unconventional methods like Zeng Fan.

He's even less well-behaved than Ye Li!

"He's brainless, and you're brainless too."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Cao Ming immediately put down the documents in his hand and stood up abruptly. "How long has he been gone?"

"It should have taken about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"That's alright, the Star Skiff in Dragon Pool is quite fast, he probably hasn't caught up yet..."

Cao Ming hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a series of air explosions came from outside, followed by a thick aura of blood that swept down in the gale and engulfed the entire governor's mansion.

The next moment, a familiar figure covered in blood crashed down from the sky!

Boom!!

The mansion trembled, Su Yongye's expression changed slightly.

Cao Ming, who was on the High Platform, simply vanished from his spot.

Before the blood-red figure that crashed into the courtyard like a cannonball had completely died, he quickly waved his sleeve to dissipate all the immense energy it carried, while simultaneously transferring a stream of pure Magic Power to help stabilize its precarious life force.

Despite this.

The Prefect of Xianjing's expression remained rather interesting. "..."

Looking at his subordinate general lying in the deep pit with both arms severed and in a miserable state, a wave of emotion gradually surged in his heart. He never expected it to end like this.

Given his Cosmic Birth Realm, it's impossible for him to have misjudged Ye Li's cultivation level.

Essentially, it has the aura of a saint, but at most, one can only reach the cultivation level of a half-step Dao Evolution Realm.

Yet, this cultivator managed to reduce Dao Evolution Realm Level 2 Domain Lord to this state in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

Unbelievable, how did he do that... Cao Ming's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly composed himself, dismissed the guards who had gathered around because of the commotion, and turned to look at the figure in black robes who was already casually sitting down in the hall.

"Impressive skills," he couldn't help but exclaim.

Ye Li ignored the other person's praise, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked indifferently:

"Harboring murderous intent, he attacked and killed his colleague."

"Prefect Cao, is this the subordinate general you brought from Yushan?"

"..." Su Yongye, standing to the side, was breathing rapidly.

He first glanced at his colleague, who was lying there like a dead dog, then reached out and touched the still-warm tea in front of him, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Although Zeng Fan was reckless, he was quite capable.

Could the time it takes to drink a cup of tea have completely and severely injured him?

Even if he, a mid-level Domain Master at the fourth level of the Dao Evolution Realm, were to take action, it would be impossible for him to be reduced to this state in such a short time, unless he unleashed some extremely powerful killing move right from the start!

This kind of cultivator actually serves as a personal attendant in the Longtan Grand Commandery?!

This joke is a bit too much!!
