Chapter 366: Chapter 255 - Two Great Magic Methods, Unexpected Joy

Inside the walls of High Willow City, the Observatory Headquarters.

Three middle-aged men, dressed in prison garb and shackled in iron chains, stood in the middle of the main hall.

Around them, a General Flag Envoy of the Observatory, along with several Flag Commanders under his command, patrolled and stood guard.

The three men in the hall all looked down.

The man in the middle had lost an arm, his expression was haggard, and his hair was gray.

To his right stood the Deputy Commander of the Observatory, Gao Kui.

As for the man on the left, he was the youngest, his expression cold.

From his attire, he was clothed in the robes of the General Flag Envoy of the Observatory.

The three from the Liu Family all showed surprise in their eyes.

In the entire Observatory, no, to be precise, among the younger generation in all of High Willow City, there was only one person qualified to sit alongside the Commander and Deputy Commander of the Observatory!

Not long ago, he was merely a minor flagbearer under the Outer South Bureau, and soon after being promoted to Flag Commander at Linjiang Station, he was exceptionally promoted to General Flag Envoy.

After becoming General Flag Envoy, he initiated a massive purge that turned everything upside down, and yet, not only was he not held accountable afterward, but he was also concurrently appointed as the Inspection Envoy of the new city!

The position of Inspection Envoy, granted by the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau, was only responsible for overseeing within High Willow City and therefore did not report to the highest headquarters of the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau.

Without passing through the Qifeng Prefecture Sky Observation Bureau, Wu Chang remained General Flag Envoy in position.

"I never thought, we would actually wait until Master Five arrived."

The leading man chuckled.

Nearing fifty, his Qi-Blood had not yet declined, and within the Refining Essence Realm, he could be considered above average.

But at his age, his prime years were soon passing, and he faced impending Qi-Blood decline, clearly without hope of advancing to the Qi Refining Realm.

As for the other two men, similar in age and at the peak of their strength, they too had no hope of advancing to the Refining Essence Realm.

The once great Liu Family, scattered and diminished, now only these three remained to lead the remaining family members.

"..."

The Little White Ape, now in the guise of Wu Chang, silently watched these three men from the Liu Family, making no reply.

Had the old master been present, he would have undoubtedly acted similarly.

Then, the three men exchanged glances, each bending a knee and kowtowing deeply before Wu Chang.

"Thank you, Master Five, for showing mercy, sparing innocent members of the Liu Family from implication!"

The three men bowed respectfully.

Both the Commander and Gao Kui, the Deputy Commander, looked towards "Wu Chang," their expressions varying.

"Do the three of you know who killed your family’s elder? He was slain by me," Wu Chang spoke slowly.

"We are aware," the three men from Liu Family looked at each other and replied in unison.

"Do you not harbor resentment?" Wu Chang asked indifferently.

"The elder, in his later years, grew muddled and greedy, and even if the opportunity to embezzle materials for the new city’s expansion had not occurred today, he would have inevitably led the Liu Family to ruin!"

The only Refining Essence Realm Martial Artist remaining in the Liu Family spoke softly, "The elder disregarded the greater good of the Human Clan, provoking the high levels of our kin. Even if it were not for Master Five, someone else would have acted!"

"Yet, it was ultimately I who executed the Liu Family elder and annihilated the century-long foundation of the Liu Family."

"Master Five’s blade cut down the Liu Family’s towering tree. One could have uprooted it entirely, yet the small roots of the Liu Family were spared!"

"And what of it?"

The Liu Family’s Refining Essence Realm Martial Artist bowed deeply and said, "We possess secret techniques to offer to Master Five!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the hall grew silent for a moment.

Then, the Commander spoke out, "Wu Chang, what do you think?"

The Little White Ape, transformed into Wu Chang, remained silent for a moment before replying, "What does the Commander think?"

"The Liu family should have suffered collateral consequences, but you spoke up to protect them. How to deal with them is also up to you," the Commander calmly said. "Anything they should not possess has already been seized by the Observatory... Whatever remains, as long as it does not violate the laws and statutes, you may do as you wish."

"Then let them be spared."

Wu Chang said as such.

Following that, the Commander nodded, stood up, and said, "Since you have offered the secret technique to you, I shall not partake in this share of the spoils."

Upon hearing this, Gao Kui, the Deputy Commander who had originally intended to stay back, also had to stand up and follow the Commander out of the hall.

The hall resumed its silence.

Wu Chang looked down at the three men from the Liu Family.

Just as the three members of the Liu Family were about to speak,

they heard the Inspection Envoy above, Wu Chang, raising his hand and saying, "Perhaps to others, my future appears promising and limitless, and entering my service seems a straightforward path!"

"But I must tell you, given my temperament, offending various powers is inevitable."

"And I will not bend the law for personal gain, nor will I shield the wrongdoers, disregarding right from wrong."

"Those under my command, if they break the law, will certainly not be treated with leniency!"

"You were originally criminals, and even under my command, you cannot become members of the Observatory."

"Therefore, take the time of one incense stick to consider carefully!"

As his voice fell, the Wu Chang in the hall stood up and walked backwards.

After a moment, this "Wu Chang" quickly stepped into the darkness, whispering, "Is the old master back?"

"Well done, the depth is significant, and each word and action deeply reflects the old master’s manner."

Lin Yan, quite appreciative, patted his head and said, "Next, I will take a personal look."

"By the way, what about that Deputy Commander Gao?"

The Little White Ape whispered, "He is not quite right."

Meanwhile, in the shadows on the other side, the figure of the man with the severed arm appeared.

"This little demon, he’s exactly another you."

The Commander chuckled lightly, then said, "Deputy Commander Gao just left the Observatory Headquarters, probably to meet his distinguished guest."
