Chapter 1168 - Chapter 1168 Chapter 462 Great Commander

Chapter 1168: Chapter 462: Great Commander Chapter 1168: Chapter 462: Great Commander As the most relied upon intelligence agency within the sanctum of Zhongzhou, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian exercised unbridled power across Zhongzhou. Not only did the Superior Heavenly Sect have to show respect, but even its headquarters were established within Hanging Sky City.

It was rumored that the Dutian Government Office stored over ten million genuine records, ranging from a directory of powerful individuals to the hidden depths of sects, from local customs to clan information–there was nothing not included, nothing lacking.

Under Wang Patrol, there were a total of five departments. Besides the main department primarily responsible for information transmission and analysis, there were four combat divisions: Wind Department, Forest Department, Fire Department, and Mountain Department.

These four departments were collectively known as the Four Sides Dutian Enforcers. Their ranks were filled with elite warriors from various sects and sanctum, and after hundreds of years of operation and development, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian had transformed from a mere intelligence agency into a special organization tasked with intelligence gathering, patrol arresting, and stabilizing the world’s situation.

In recent decades, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian had become even more overbearing due to the active efforts of the Great Commander, Cao Jinyu.

In the past, only illegitimate offspring of the sanctums and some less privileged disciples from the sects would join the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian. However, the situation changed after Great Commander Cao Jinyu persuaded Beast King Cao Guang to serve as a guest minister in Wang Patrol, and invited the declining Wang Clan of Longxi to have their walker serve as the Forest Department’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy.

Some true disciples of sects and walkers of the sanctum gradually began to value the power of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian, and with the addition of Lord Lei Ze, An Dinghuang, the organization gained the presence of two Saint Child level figures.

The existence of geniuses is different from that of talented people. The so-called ‘using people wisely’ means that in the face of talented individuals, one must discover their strengths and then place them in the most suitable position, granting them full trust.

But when it comes to geniuses, what you need to do is keep silent, because when you find such a person, you need to let them lead the organization forward, not teach them how to proceed.

This is the distinction between treating geniuses and talented people. However, most people who consider themselves wiser than others are unwilling to admit this point.

The reason why Great Commander Cao Jinyu was acclaimed was that he did not meddle despite An Dinghuang and Wang Chang being his juniors. Instead, he boldly handed over all the authority of the Forest Department and Mountain Department of Wang Patrol to these two, allowing them full rein.

The subsequent facts proved that Cao Jinyu was right. Over a long period that followed, under the leadership of the two seasoned Saint Children, the Forest and Mountain Departments of Wang Patrol fought battles in every direction, earning the nickname “Wang Patrol’s Two Chariots.” More and more elite figures from sects and sanctums voluntarily joined Wang Patrol, following the two Saint Children.

Because of the activity of these two Saint Child figures, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian evolved from a mere intelligence agency into the vast force that now strikes fear in people all over the world.

Later, the inclusion of Divine Sword of Yuanzhou, Xu Xiao, further elevated the reputation of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian. Were it not for the Blood Tower incident resulting in the death of the Wind Department’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy, Wang Patrol’s influence might be even stronger than before.

Therefore, for members of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian, Ancient Blood Tower was a thorn in their flesh, an irritation in their eyes, and the main focus of the intelligence agency’s explorations over the years.

No matter how much the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of Dutian utilized the sanctum’s resources and had ears and eyes from Wind Media all over the world, Ancient Blood Tower seemed to have vanished without a trace, with the exception of the lively Corpse Bone Protector, none of the rest of the assassins could be found.

However, the secret agents of Wang Patrol knew that Ancient Blood Tower had not disappeared, because the underground deals involving secret arts and heterodox powers had never stopped!

For some people, the training provided by sects could never satisfy their desire for personal power. Stealing the sect’s secret teachings to exchange for mystical powers was done without a hint of conscience.

As the shadowy deals flourished more and more, Wang Patrol’s determination only grew stronger, yet the traces of Ancient Blood Tower became more and more elusive, becoming a chronic worry for the secret agents of Wang Patrol.

But after searching for so many years to no avail, many of Wang Patrol’s secret agents had lost their drive, as, after all, apart from Ancient Blood Tower, there were too many other matters in the world that required Wang Patrol’s attention.

Especially in recent years, the world always seemed to have an undercurrent of unrest, ready to explode. Not to mention the prosperous regions of the South and Zhongzhou, even the remote Longzhou was no longer peaceful.

The newly emerged Demon Lord Gou Chen, the rapidly rising Longxi Alliance, the ambitious noble families, and the hidden sects that were eager to make a move.

If not for the patrols of the Dutian Heavenly King, this world would likely have descended into chaos long ago. Many secret agents of the Heavenly Patrol would subconsciously think this while processing information.

The patrol of the Dutian Heavenly King is such an incredible institution, just as the Great Commander Cao Jinyu had said.

To know everything is to be capable of anything!

…

Hanging Sky City, Dutian Government Office

As soon as An Yuanxi secretly returned to Zhongzhou, he went straight to the Heavenly Patrol Pavilion to see the Great Commander Cao Jinyu for a whole hour of confidential talks, after which, the golden royal decree was sent out in all directions.

As the supreme will of the Dutian Heavenly Patrol, the swift responses from all four departments followed the issuance of the golden royal decree, with elite agents above the rank of patrol inspector dropping their current affairs and returning to the Dutian Government Office to receive orders.

The Heavenly Patrol Envoy of the Mountain Department, Lord Lei Ze An Dinghuang, and the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of the Forest Department, Wang Chang, naturally would not be absent; however, Xu Xiao, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy of the Fire Department, had a falling out with the Great Commander after that incident.

Along with a group of sword cultivators from the Fire Department, they were known for obeying commands but not proclamations. It had been expected that with the issuance of the Great Commander’s decree this time, Xu Xiao would at least show some respect, but in the end, the only ones who arrived at Hanging Sky City were a Garrison Commander, three inspectors, and compared to the plentiful talents from the other three departments, the Fire Department’s presence was far from comparable.

By the time the council meeting started, the Fire Department’s area was still just occupied by a few individuals, almost making it seem as though the Fire Department had been wiped out.

Even the Great Commander Cao Jinyu couldn’t help but chuckle when he came out and saw the sparse seating of the Fire Department.

The Fire Department Town Governor could only stand up and repeatedly apologize to everyone, saying, “The Heavenly Patrol Envoy was too busy to attend, so they sent us few to represent the Fire Department.”

Those accustomed to the Fire Department’s insubordination, the inspectors and Garrison Commanders naturally had no objections, but today, there were two bigwigs present again.

Ordinary insubordination on any other day wouldn’t be a big deal, but the attitude in the face of the Great Commander’s royal decree was unacceptable, causing Wang Chang to become displeased. He spoke up coldly, “Of the four departments of the royal patrol, is only Xu Xiao the busiest? Go back and tell him, if he is unwilling, then he should step down from his position as the Heavenly Patrol Envoy. Don’t put on such a delicate and coy act; this isn’t Yuanzhou!”

Wang Chang was once the pride of the declining Wang Clan, and it was with the Great Commander’s encouragement that he had regained his strength. After establishing his merits in the Dutian Heavenly Patrol, his respect and affection for them had only increased. Seeing Xu Xiao showing such disrespect for the royal decree naturally displeased him.

Although the Governor of the Fire Department hailed from a holy land, he was already at a disadvantage for not honoring the royal decree and didn’t dare respond on behalf of Xu Xiao, so he could only silently bow his hands, his face turning a mottled mix of red and green, as he stood there dumbfounded.

“Alright, alright.”

The Great Commander timely intervened, gave a look toward the Fire Department Town Governor, and with a wave of his hand indicating Wang Chang to speak no more, he moved directly to the main point, “The reason for summoning the four departments is to discuss two important matters.”
