Chapter 986: Chapter 642 Long Time No See

"Close call."

Lady Qinghua silently exhaled; it had been too long since she had seen her master, and she had nearly lost her restraint.

She had almost forgotten the last time she was able to be of help.

The pressure of working under her master was immense... at any moment, one may be replaced by newly joined "colleagues."

Thinking of this, Qinghua clenched her fists slightly to encourage herself.

The moment she stepped out of the Array, the ten-zhang-tall Golden Body Dharma Identity swiftly resumed its indifferent expression.

The reappearance of the Immortal Official once again caused an uproar among the surrounding creatures.

Normally, if a high immortal agreed to stay, they would linger for a while; could it be that White Cloud Cave had committed some taboo?

Or perhaps this Immortal Official had no intention of mingling with these juniors and was merely giving face to the White Cloud Ancestor.

The crowd had various thoughts, watching as the Golden Body Dharma Identity flew back behind the clouds, sparking a wave of speculation.

Countless gazes turned toward the White Cloud Cave Array, and after a long wait, it remained as quiet as the realm of the dead, causing some confusion in their hearts.

But dealing with the matters of a righteous god of the Immortal Court, who would dare to ask too much, let alone intervene in any way?

"Sir, shall we return now?"

While several accompanying Immortal Officials were likewise curious, they dared not ask more. It was said that the newly appointed Horses’ Fortune was once an ascetic and hailed from the Merit Immortals, known for his cold and stern disposition, not even giving face to Mighty General Qingluan.

Honestly, the fact that he could sit in White Cloud Cave for a while had already been surprising.

"Yes."

Qinghua nodded slightly, leading a group of Immortal Officials riding clouds towards the Immortal Court.

Using the White Rhinoceros Seal to temporarily seal off this precious land should be sufficient for her master to handle the troubles here.

Compared to the outsiders’ complex thoughts,

The minds of those from the Demon Slayer Bureau who had actually witnessed this carnage were not much clearer.

The Demon Slayers from the other two prefectures had been battle-hardened, dealing with innumerable incidents, including troublesome ones related to the three teachings.

But they had never seen a situation like today.

A "Demon Slayer Officer" who, from beginning to end, was almost invisible; even when underestimated and deliberately neglected by Mei Jiyao, he showed no displeasure.

It was exactly because of this that others actually thought he was just a dummy brought out by General Yan Lan to go through the motions.

After all, the most feared thing for a new official on duty is the struggle for power from the predecessor, and an inability to maintain discipline; how could they possibly allow the other two prefectures to continue treating Meng Xiuwen as a Demon Slayer Officer.

But when the real work began,

This young man seemed to take on a different demeanor, saying it was unilateral and high-handed wouldn’t be an exaggeration, not consulting anyone at all.

Usually, the others would have to report him and wish to be as far away from him as possible, to avoid dragging themselves into disaster.

Handling matters in front of the Immortal Court without any reservations, he was even more formidable than the Immortal Officials.

But now...

When the true Immortal Official turned a blind eye and even helped to calm the situation, the whole thing took on a different flavor.

"Sigh."

As someone who had been a Demon Slayer Officer for many years and was still alive, Mei Jiyao was naturally not foolish.

She stared silently at the youth in black robes hanging in the sky.

He had the means of the Bodhi Sect practitioners, the treasures of a genuine Immortal Family from Treasure Mountain, and the indulgence... no, it couldn’t even be called indulgence anymore. Was it an illusion, or did she see a hint of intentionally concealed respect in that Immortal Official?

Under such a complex background, he was still a Demon Slayer Officer!

The Demon Slayer Bureau ostensibly subdued demons, but its actual duty was to slightly restrain the disciples of the three teachings on behalf of the divine dynasty.

Well! This person encompasses all three teachings!

"Who exactly is this person? How did you bring him in?" Mei Jiyao was feeling even more panicky now than when she had faced the Immortal Official directly.

What was Jianyang Prefecture thinking, not doing a thorough background check at all?

To bring a cultivator clearly deeply connected with a righteous god of the Immortal Court into the Demon Slayer Bureau so openly, wasn’t this the same as inviting a government officer into a den of thieves?

"It was the Land God’s recommendation." Meng Xiuwen’s expression was somewhat ugly, having been too trusting of Min Zhiyan, he had indeed been somewhat careless.

Now, it was clear that this person was not the mere Loose Cultivator the Land God had described.

A practitioner’s path and Immortal Family treasures could be explained by fate and coincidence, but what about the strange attitude of that righteous god of the Immortal Court? Was that also picked up?

From a small place? By "small place," does it mean the residence of a major figure from the Immortal Court?

To get a Seventh Rank Immortal Official to clean up the scene, Shen Yi’s background must at least reach towards the direction of a Fifth Grade Immortal Official.

What kind of existence was that, one who could even meet the Human Emperor without needing to bow?

"If something really goes wrong, you, you just wait to be beheaded, and even a hundred times will not be enough to atone for your crimes." Mei Jiyao was breathing rapidly, clearly aware of some real reasons why the Demon Slayer Bureau should not be discovered by the Immortal Court.

...

Trembling, Meng Xiuwen, as the most powerful Demon Slayer Officer, had dared to agree to watch over Shen Yi for Min Zhiyan only because of his great confidence in his own strength.

But now, he began to feel that things were somewhat out of control.

With this thought, he took a deep breath, his fingers slightly trembling as he reached out of his sleeve, gathering a shockingly pure breath between his fingers.

At just this moment, it was clear that the disciple under the Qing Mei Ancestor from the Jade Dragon Sect, who had reached the Sixth Grade Realm, hadn’t died unjustly.
