Chapter 297: Chapter 210: Rivers of Blood, Fear and Anxiety_2

Speaking of which, Mr. Lu exhaled slowly and said, "But the Human Clan can’t afford to gamble!"

Han General Flag Envoy naturally understood that the resources used to expand the new city were worth exchanging for a being of the Refining God Realm.

But for the Liu Family ancestor, even if he devoured all these materials, with less than a ten percent chance of success, it was not worth cultivating.

"Go ahead and do as you please, we can discuss the aftermath later."

Mr. Lu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Coincidentally, he took the initiative this morning to apply to the City Guard Mansion, willing to take turns guarding the Dayin River."

Han General Flag Envoy pondered and asked, "What about the Commander?"

Mr. Lu said, "After causing a commotion at the City Guard Mansion and even waking the Great City Guard, he joined forces to pressure the six major families."

——

High Willow City, western district, Observatory Branch.

The General Flag Envoy of the western district wore a heavy expression.

Before him were four chiefs and two Flag Commanders.

"Wu Chang has returned, and in less than a day, he cleared the southwestern district and has now sent people to take down the western and southeastern districts."

"Next, he will probably come here."

"Failing to monitor all sides of the inner city and embezzling the materials for city expansion represent our dereliction of duty."

"Everyone must, before the Inspection Envoy arrives, investigate all evidence of crimes and apprehend all suspects; there must be no oversights whatsoever."

This General Flag Envoy from the western district spoke with a cold tone, scanning over everyone present.

Right at that moment, a voice came from outside.

"General Flag Envoy Qiao, you’ve been reluctant to investigate for days, so why bother now? Right now, my people are on it, so don’t trouble yourself..."

The crowd turned to look.

They saw a young man slowly approaching.

This person was dressed in a Golden Patterned Black Robe, holding a long saber, his face expressionless.

"Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy..."

The General Flag Envoy Qiao quickly stepped forward to greet him.

But then he saw Lin Yan reach into his robe, pull out a piece of paper, and throw it.

The paper flew like a blade, crossing a hundred paces in an instant.

General Flag Envoy Qiao’s pupils shrank, and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

This piece of paper had actually split open the specially made robe of the General Flag Envoy and cut into his shoulder.

He pressed it with his hand, signaling the subordinates behind him who were ready to draw their swords to step back.

However, at this moment, his heart had already sunk to the bottom.

"Do you have any objections to this evidence?"

Lin Yan, with an indifferent expression, said, "The Observatory... supervises the entire city, yet you are the one embezzling!"

"By swapping materials, you’ve consumed such a large batch."

"Allowing various powers to act recklessly within your jurisdiction, stealing materials, and engaging in corruption."

"Earlier, three of your undercover agents desperately gathered evidence and presented you with intelligence, only to be silenced by you."

"All so you could wait until today, to assist me, the Inspection Envoy, in personally verifying the facts and earning merits."

"Not only could you clear your own name completely, but there was also a great chance you would gain my favor and become a valuable assistant under my command in the new city’s expansion!"

As his voice fell, Lin Yan drew his saber and said, "The reason I came here personally is out of respect for a fellow member of the Observatory, to personally send you off!"

"Inspection Envoy, spare my life! This is a frame-up, Qiao has always been devoted to the public, I really..."

"Is this information given by the Commander of the inner city a frame-up against you?"

"Master..." Qiao General Flag Envoy hurriedly knelt down, anxiously saying, "I was momentarily confused, only wishing to advance my Cultivation further, to better deter various powers and maintain stability! Since joining the Observatory, I’ve slain many demons, guarded the city numerous times, and now I am also in the Refining Essence Realm, moreover..."

"I’ve said before, that the expansion of the city is a matter of great importance to High Willow City, affecting countless lives of the Human Clan. Anyone who dares to embezzle even the slightest, kill!"

"Wu Chang! After all, I am a General Flag Envoy, even if the evidence is conclusive, it must be examined by the inner city Observatory and approved by the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau before I can be executed!"

"The people you’ve killed under your command, still receiving wages from the City Guard Mansion, aren’t considered dead."

Lin Yan calmly said, "I will cut off your head first, then present your crimes to the Qifeng Prefecture."

As his voice trailed off, he swung his saber.

That day, in the western district of the outer city, heads rolled at the Observatory Branch.

Lin Yan beheaded seventeen people before he stopped.

Looking at the bodies scattered everywhere, he wiped his long saber and slowly said, "You few, whose crimes do not merit death, but as informed parties, although death can be spared, life cannot be spared. Wait for people from the inner city to come, and confess honestly."

"As for the rest of you who were unaware, as members of the Observatory, you’re already guilty of negligence, half a month’s salary will be deducted."

"The possessions of the people I executed today will be confiscated and sealed, to be used for the expansion of the city. If any of you dare to embezzle the slightest, kill!"

He walked out of the western district office, and right there, he saw the Garrison Commander with the surname Gao.

The Garrison Commander was riding a tall horse, leading a Jiao Linma.

"Brother Wu Chang, I’ve brought your mount," said the old Garrison Commander, stroking his beard, "I’ve heard about the matter, go ahead and do what you must, I’ll handle the aftermath..."

He pointed to the placard of the western district office and said, "The Observatory indeed needs a thorough cleaning from within."

——

In the inner city, within the City Guard Mansion.

The Great City Guard sat with his eyes slightly closed, listening to the news from outside.

While the Commander sipped his tea, he asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

The Great City Guard sighed, "This killing spree is not a solution... he’s gone mad with killing; do you see this list? How many people must die?"

"The list is from me, and he’s only reached the western district so far. I was afraid he’d be too slow, so I had someone send him a Jiao Linma," said the Commander, setting down his teacup.

"Otherwise, in other districts, many would destroy the evidence before we could catch them red-handed."

"If all the officials are killed, how will we maintain order?"

The Great City Guard pointed to the freshly delivered news and said, "In the western district alone, including the chief officials and managers, he personally killed more than twenty people... not to mention the district heads, record keepers, and night watchmen yet to be counted."
