”National Law? Military Law?”

Dong Zhao, faced with the raging Mountain Master Zhou Jianping from the Yangdu Taoist Institute, still wore a smile, then waved his hand, and Blood Slaughter Tian Zhang strode over like a meteor.

”Mountain Master, based on preliminary investigation, we have discovered that at least one thousand five hundred of the kidnapped girls have come from our Jinshan County,” Tian Zhang reported.

”Mountain Master Zhou, did you hear that number?

Rescuing the kidnapped people of Jinshan County is my duty.

I have not violated even a hint of National Law or Military Law,” Dong Zhao said with a soft tone and a smile, but the implication was harder than steel!

”You!”

Mountain Master Zhou Jianping of the Yangdu Taoist Institute was so angry he felt like he would spit blood, feeling as though his punch had hit cotton—with no reaction from the other party, but pain for himself.

At that moment, Zhou Jianping saw his direct superior, Dean Lu Chenfeng of the Yan State Taoist Institute, looking at them both with a grim face. The anger in his chest was still unvented, and at this moment, it sparked another thought.

However, the sound of their quarrel had attracted the attention of many.

For instance, Hu Xuechuan who had already arrived, Sub-hall Master Mei Longwei of the Cangming Star Hall in the Yan State Branch Hall, and others, all watched with glee.

”Mountain Master Dong, even if you had a reason to deploy troops, we’re still colleagues, we’re still members of the Yan State Taoist Institute. Even if you deploy troops, shouldn’t you at least give me a heads-up?

You come to my Yangdu County without saying a word, do a big deed—is this what you want to do?

Even if you want to climb over your colleagues to ascend, at the very least, you should leave us a way out,” Zhou Jianping cursed.

This was escalating the issue.

The normally smiling Dong Zhao’s expression also became slightly gloomy.

”Hmph, inform you?

I was afraid you would tip them off!” Tian Zhang suddenly spoke up.

This one sentence made Mountain Master Zhou feel like a cat with its tail stepped on, bursting out angrily.

”Tian Zhang, what do you mean?

Make your words clear to me!

What tipping off?” In a rush of anger, Zhou Jianping fired off three questions.

”Mountain Master Zhou, some things can be discussed after the fact,” Dong Zhao said slowly, with an implied meaning.

Dong Zhao was not in a hurry, but Zhou Jianping couldn’t stand it. Tian Zhang’s words were equivalent to throwing a pot of dirty water on him. He had to react, or he would never wash clean of the accusation.

”No, Tian Zhang, what do you mean, exactly? If you don’t make it clear today, I won’t let it go!” Zhou Jianping shouted angrily, with Star Power surging around his body, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

”Fine, this is what you asked for!”

Tian Zhang was also angry, pointing at some of the young girls and the bodies hung on poles, he yelled, ”Do you know how long the Baidou Divine Sect has been operating here?”

”Three months, at least three months!

The number of kidnapped girls is as high as three thousand, with at least one thousand coming from your Yangdu County?

Three months, and you haven’t discovered anything.

And we from Jinshan County should inform you?

Are all of you from the Yangdu Taoist Institute pigs, sleeping soundly for three months?”

”You... you... what do you mean!” Under all eyes, Zhou Jianping was so flustered by Tian Zhang’s scolding that he couldn’t even grasp the implicit meaning in Dong Zhao’s words earlier.

The earlier statement by Dong Zhao actually meant that now was not the time to discuss the matter—it was inappropriate, as discussing more now would be humiliating.

Let’s talk in private when there’s nobody around.

But Zhou Jianping wouldn’t listen.

And now, he had been hit where it hurt!

”But the question is, are the people from your Yangdu Taoist Institute really pigs that sleep for three months without waking?

No!

The Yangdu Taoist Institute is full of elites, not pigs!

Yet there’s been a problem here for three months, and you haven’t found out!

What am I supposed to think!

Anyone would think that way!” Tian Zhang shouted with fury!

”You....”

”Enough!”

Mountain Master Lu Chenfeng of the Yan State Taoist Institute shouted angrily, walking over with a stern face. Zhou Jianping, as if finding support, said urgently, ”Dean Lu, he’s slandering...”

”Shut up, do you want to make a fool of yourself any more than you have?” Lu Chenfeng barked, and Zhou Jianping then sheepishly shut his mouth, quickly calming down.

In a few moments, Zhou Jianping’s face turned pale.

After calming down, he realized he had made a big mistake.

Then, a meteoric light stopped in the sky above Thousand Leaf Island, and Xu Jin, who was staying high above, discovered it was actually a ship.

Surrounded by Starlight and floating in mid-air was a flying ship.

In an instant, Xu Jin gained another definition of this world: this world’s application of Extraordinary Power was not limited to oneself.

The ship was not large, about six meters long in a streamlined shape. After it hovered in place, a string of officials disembarked.

Many came forward to greet the arrival.

”Greetings to the governor.”

”Paying respects to the governor.”

”Governor Li.”

Lu Chenfeng, Hu Xuechuan, Mei Longwei, and others also gave a salute as a greeting to this person.

The newcomer was Governor Li Da of Yan State.

In the Official System of Dachen, a feudal province was in charge of state affairs, a governor oversaw state military affairs, but that did not include the Star Patrol Guards of various Taoist Institutes. However, the governor did have a bit of control over the Star Patrol Guards, and any local military operations, regardless of who was involved, had to be reported to the Governor’s Mansion.

Li Da was over sixty years old, wearing a dark cloak, came walking briskly, exuding a stern aura.

”What’s the exact situation, has a count been made?” Li Da asked sharply.

”Reporting to the governor, one Star Officer of the Baidou Demon Sect was slain, three Star Condensing Realm Star Officer protectors captured, one captive taken, two Star Refining Realm believers captured, twenty-seven other Evil People killed. A total of 2342 kidnapped girls were rescued, additionally, a pit filled with bodies was discovered in the rear mountain, with over 300 bodies found.”
