Chapter 231: Chapter 168: High-Spirited General Flag Envoy! Deeply Stricken Old Han! [Four Updates!]

The square was deathly silent, all eyes converging on that lone figure.

Under the gaze of many, the youthful Inspection Envoy remained expressionless, seemingly oblivious.

His gaze passed over the crowd, even disregarding the thirty-some cavalry.

He quietly observed the Deputy City Governor from Qifeng Prefecture City.

They had met previously in the inner city, but from a great distance, and he had gone on behalf of Xu Dingye from the Little Divine Sect, so they had not faced each other directly.

But now, Lin Yan made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent, slowly drawing his bow and aiming it forward.

"I have already ordered the display of the criminals’ heads to the world, warning that anyone who dares to offend will meet this fate!"

"Without my order, whoever dares to remove these heads is defying the command of the Observatory."

"Whoever it is, death penalty!"

His tone was even, his voice not loud.

However, everyone present heard him clearly.

As his voice fell, Lin Yan’s arrow aimed at the Deputy Governor Shi, coldly saying, "Deputy Governor Shi, have you come to seize the criminals’ heads?"

The atmosphere in the area became tense to the extreme.

Deputy Governor Shi remained calm, yet did not speak.

No one in the audience dared make a sound.

Even among them, many well-born ’big shots’ who thought they had seen through power and human hearts, felt an indescribable complexity at this moment.

The son of the Great City Guard of Qifeng Prefecture was one of them.

He also had not anticipated that under all these watchful eyes, Wu Chang truly wouldn’t yield even slightly.

Logically, after hanging the two heads, which served their purpose of deterring all visitors, they had become irrelevant.

If Deputy Governor Shi personally came forward, even if Wu Chang stepped back slightly, no one would perceive it as him losing prestige.

"Regardless of identity, status, background, or even the most crucial cultivation, Deputy Governor Shi is undeniably a high-ranking official!"

Master Li stood on the upstairs balcony, looking at the activity in the neighboring street, thinking, "Considering future prospects, Wu Chang might surpass Deputy Governor Shi, but facing him with an arrow today is unwise..."

Wu Chang had the potential to become a strong fighter.

Deputy Governor Shi was a true strongman.

It was like a young dragon challenging an already dominant giant serpent!

He held his wine glass, whispering lightly, "Indeed, if it were wise, the two from the Shi Family wouldn’t have died, and if he were planning to retreat, today these two severed heads wouldn’t have been hung ..."

At his side, a burly man whispered, "If Deputy Governor Shi starts a fight, won’t Linjiang Square be ruined?"

Master Li shook his head, "It won’t go that far. After all, being in such a high position, even if he cannot suppress his killing intent, at most he would give a lesson, damaging Wu Chang’s face, but he wouldn’t kill the top prodigy of Qifeng Prefecture in public."

The muscular man hesitated, "Since they won’t come to blows, would you like to step in and earn some favor? After all, ignoring it given your status will be noted by others..."

Master Li laughed, placing his wine glass on the railing, leisurely saying, "What qualifications do I have? Even if my father were here, that would barely be enough!"

He pointed toward the neighboring alley, saying, "One had competed for position with my father, in front of him, I’m just a mere youngster."

"The other, daring to aim an arrow at the Deputy Governor and kill his two sons, would definitely not take the son of the Prefecture City’s Great City Guard seriously."

"Between those two, it’s an irreconcilable feud, a matter of life and death, where do I have the standing to counsel peace?"

"If I were to go up there, it would just be making a fool of myself, openly inviting ridicule."

"Of course...not going up would be seen as cowardly, allowing the situation to escalate...to the discerning eye, it speaks poorly of my father’s parenting, and could be used as an excuse to block my ascendence in the future."

Master Li said with a smile, "So, it’s best that I’m not present."

He reached out and tapped the burly man on the head, saying, "I finally managed to hide over here, and you still want me to jump into this pit? I really suspect you’re an agent sent by my rival to ruin my prospects!"

The burly man couldn’t help but smile sheepishly, yet he looked toward the neighboring alley, saying, "So, they just stand off like this?"

"Someone has already intervened, that’s why they are at this standoff. Otherwise... Deputy Governor Shi wouldn’t let a junior point an arrow at him!"

Master Li said slowly, "The people from High Willow City Guard Mansion are in Linjiang Square, someone will come to break the deadlock."

Just as his voice fell.

A distant sound of a majestic horse’s neigh rang out!

Everyone turned their heads to look, seeing a man a thousand steps away restraining his horse.

The horse raised its front hooves, neighing proudly!

And the rider, having drawn his sword from its sheath, looked on from afar, laughing coldly.

"Deputy Governor Shi, if today you are using the title of Deputy Governor to adjust the criminal heads without proper paperwork, it’s out of order!"

"The Observatory operates independently from the City Guard Mansion, having the authority to inspect. If you want to adjust the criminal heads, it should be done via paperwork, notifying the High Willow City Guard Mansion, relayed to the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau at the Observatory Headquarters, proceed to the Outer South Bureau, and finally reach the hands of the new Inspection Envoy!"

"If it is as a father that you’re here to seize the heads, then you are trampling over the laws of the Human Clan!"

Han Zheng stood a thousand steps away, knife in hand.

The blade’s edge, faint yet distinct, bridged the thousand steps.

Aimed directly at Deputy Governor Shi’s face.

Qi Refining Realm!

Among those present, not a few were highly cultivated, possessing keen vision, and they saw this clearly.

The General Flag Envoy Han Zheng, who had been at the pinnacle of the Refining Essence Realm for many years, had unknowingly refined essence into Qi, stepping into the realm of the world’s Qi Refining experts!
