The sky gradually darkened, the setting sun was like blood, on the street, pedestrians hurried, heading towards home.
Just at this seemingly peaceful and beautiful moment, a shocking afterimage suddenly cut through the silent sky.
With a speed invisible to the naked eye, it quickly leaped and moved through the buildings on the street, leaving a series of continuous afterimages.
"Hey, did you see that clearly?"
"Why did I see, it seems like there was a one-legged person, flying above."
??????
"Xiao Jin, are you drunk?"
"A one-legged person, why don't you say a headless person!"
Inside the government office, in a quiet and comfortable courtyard, within a small pavilion, were two figures, sitting beside the stone table.
And these two people in the pavilion were the old leader of the Tianhai Gang, Hua Tianhai, and the White Dao Prefecture Governor, Hong Zhi!
Hong Zhi had invited Hua Tianhai over, and they had been talking for about an incense stick's worth of time.
However, until now, Hong Zhi still had not gotten to the main topic.
Hong Zhi beat around the bush for a while, but still couldn't find out any information about Hua Yunfei.
After some rambling, Hong Zhi finally realized that this old fox, Hua Tianhai, seemed to have been wary of him for a long time.
Hong Zhi looked at the composed Hua Tianhai, and then no longer beat around the bush, and took the initiative to talk about Hua Tianhai's son, Hua Yunfei.
"Senior Hua, this official invited you here for the matter of Tianhai Gang leader Hua Yunfei!"
Hua Tianhai's eyebrows flashed a slight fluctuation, but he quickly returned to calm.
"Governor, please speak!"
"What has my son, Hua Yunfei, done wrong?"
"If this unfilial son has violated the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, I will personally send him to the yamen."
Hua Tianhai finished speaking, putting on a righteous appearance, as if he would put righteousness before family.
As the governor of Baidao Prefecture, Hong Zhi naturally understood Hua Tianhai's character.
This old fox was insidious and cunning, killed people like flies, and was especially protective of his offspring, so how could he really care about the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Hong Zhi ignored Hua Tianhai's performance and said calmly.
"Wu Wei, the master of the Wu Family Fist Hall, is dead!"
"This official has heard that Wu Wei seemed to have some grievances with Tianhai Gang leader Hua Yunfei before his death."
"I wonder if this is the case, Senior Hua!"
Hearing that Wu Wei, the master of the Wu Family Fist Hall, was dead, a sharp light flashed in Hua Tianhai's eyes.
He had already learned of this news this morning.
Hua Tianhai then asked his son about it.
Hua Yunfei was full of shock and couldn't believe the news of Wu Wei's death.
Hua Yunfei had only taught Wu Wei a lesson yesterday and had not used heavy force.
Hua Tianhai's expression did not change, and he responded to Hong Zhi's question without hesitation.
"That's not the case, these are just rumors circulating in the market."
"Governor, you also know."
"My son, as the leader of the Tianhai Gang, will naturally be slandered by some ill-intentioned people."
"Therefore, these rumors cannot be taken seriously!"
"Governor, rest assured, after I return, I will definitely order my subordinates to help you find the murderer who killed Wu Wei!"
Help the government find the murderer?
Hong Zhi took a deep look at Hua Tianhai.
If your Tianhai Gang doesn't cause trouble for this official, this official will be burning incense, and you're still thinking of helping the government.
Forget it, Hua Tianhai is a martial artist in the early stage of the Inner Qi realm, the same martial arts realm as himself.
Hong Zhi didn't want to push this old guy too hard.
If he pushed this old guy too hard, Hong Zhi was afraid that he would fight him desperately.
"Very good, with Senior Hua's help, this official believes that the murderer who killed Wu Wei will definitely be found."
After Hong Zhi finished the first half of his sentence, he paused for a moment, then suddenly stared at Hua Tianhai.
"Senior Hua, your Tianhai Gang is the number one gang in the city, with powerful forces, and its influence is even greater than this official's."
"However, you must know that there are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens, and the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty cannot be violated by anyone."
"In the city, it's not just this official, there is also the Xuan Envoy Lord stationed in Baidao Prefecture!"
"Senior Hua, people must know their limits, and it is best not to touch things that cannot be touched, otherwise...."
Hong Zhi's words were undoubtedly a blatant warning to Hua Tianhai.
Let their Tianhai Gang not be too extreme in their actions, and murder cases are the most serious matters for the Great Xia Dynasty.
If murder cases occur frequently, he, the governor of Baidao Prefecture, will also be to blame.
Xuan Envoy Lord!
These four words caused Hua Tianhai's expressionless face to become solemn in an instant.
Hua Tianhai would never forget that young face in his life.
That terrifying man who slapped him into a minor injury like swatting a fly.
The current Xuan Envoy Lord of Baidao Prefecture is a terrifying existence of a Martial Dao Grandmaster!
Seeing that this old guy, Hong Zhi, was about to bring out that great god, Hua Tianhai instantly became restless and quickly responded.
"Okay, Governor, I understand!"
"I can guarantee to you that Wu Wei's death has absolutely nothing to do with my son."
"Governor, rest assured, after I go back, I will properly rectify the Tianhai Gang and strictly prohibit the people of the Tianhai Gang from doing anything harmful to nature."
This time, Hua Tianhai behaved very sincerely, without the previous perfunctoriness.
Regarding that one from the Xuan Bird Guard, Hua Tianhai had no other thought but fear.
This old guy, Hong Zhi, was really something, why did he suddenly mention that terrifying existence.
Hua Tianhai suddenly had the intention to leave, and no longer had the mood to stay in the government office, so he stood up and bowed slightly to Hong Zhi.
"Governor, I remembered that there are still some important matters in the gang to deal with, so I won't disturb you, Governor."
"I'll take my leave!"
Seeing Hua Tianhai's fleeing appearance, Hong Zhi immediately pondered.
It seems that the name of that one is really useful!
This old guy, Hua Tianhai, is actually so afraid.
However, before Governor Hong Zhi could get up, a burst of exclamations came from outside the courtyard.
"Chief Constable, what's wrong with you?"
"Chief Constable, your leg!"
"Someone come!"
However, before these panicked voices could disappear, Fan Wei had already arrived in the courtyard.
Hong Zhi stared at the direction of the courtyard gate, only to see Fan Wei's face pale, and cold sweat constantly flowing from his forehead.
Most importantly, one of Fan Wei's legs was gone, and he was holding a knife against the ground, acting as his leg!
Hong Zhi immediately widened his eyes, his eyes were about to split, he overturned the heavy stone table, and came to Fan Wei at an extremely fast speed.
"What's going on, Fan Wei, what happened to your leg!"
"Who did this, what audacity!"
"Rebellion!"
Fan Wei was the chief constable of the government office, who didn't know that he was his man.
Who was the damned thing that dared to attack the government officials, or the chief constable of the government office!
Rebellion, this is rebellion!
"Sir, don't worry about this subordinate, quickly notify the Xuan Bird Guard!"
"The Strange Domain... is... the legendary Strange Domain!"
"Calamity... Calamity-level Strange!"
"Wu... Wu Family, something happened to the Wu Family!"
Fan Wei didn't have time to catch his breath, enduring the severe pain from his leg, and said anxiously.
"Sir, quickly...."
Before Fan Wei could say anything, he suddenly realized that Hong Zhi, who was just in front of him, had disappeared.
Because, from the moment Hong Zhi heard the words Calamity-level Strange, he had understood the serious consequences of the matter.
Hong Zhi's whole body's inner Qi instinctively operated, and he flew towards the Xuan Bird Guard's residence.
This was the only time in his life that he ignored the image of the governor and ran towards the Xuan Bird Guard's residence with all his might.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Wei's Qi and blood finally couldn't support such a huge loss, and he fainted.
"The Chief Constable has fainted, someone come quickly!"
On the Xuan Bird Guard's side, many carriages had also arrived at this moment, and He Yan, as the deputy envoy, stood upright in front of the door.
For no other reason than that the people in these carriages were the Xuan Bird Guard and the Black Feather Guard from the Heavenly Capital.
Until this long carriage team stopped, He Yan walked towards the centermost carriage with a nervous and uneasy mood.
Why was He Yan so flustered?
Because Xuan Envoy Lord Lu Xuan did not personally come out to greet these important figures from the Heavenly Capital.
Lu Xuan had instructed him early in the morning that if those people from the Heavenly Capital came, he would be responsible for entertaining them alone.
If He Yan really couldn't entertain them, he could notify Lu Xuan to come forward.
The closer He Yan got to the centermost carriage, the more he could feel an invisible pressure.
The carriage did not lift the concealing curtain, but inside the carriage, an old and powerful voice sounded.
This voice penetrated the heavy curtain and reached He Yan's ears directly.
"Hmm?"
"You don't seem to be the Xuan Envoy of Baidao Prefecture, Lu Xuan, are you?"
Hearing the person inside ask, He Yan did not dare to hesitate and quickly responded.
"Replying to the Earth Envoy Lord, that's right!"
"This subordinate is the Deputy Envoy of the Baidao Prefecture Xuan Bird Guard, and is here to await the Earth Envoy Lord on the orders of the Xuan Envoy Lord!"
The people who transport the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects from the Heavenly Capital Xuan Bird Guard are generally Earth-level Xuan Bird Guards!
He Yan was naturally very clear about this situation, and he had seen many Earth Envoy Lords from the Heavenly Capital in the ten years since he served as Deputy Envoy.
The next moment, the carriage curtain was blown up by a gust of wind, and the person inside came to He Yan's front in an instant.
"Hahaha, interesting!"
He Yan was dumbfounded when he saw an old man in a red Xuan Bird suit appearing in front of him with a big laugh.
What's wrong with the Earth Envoy Lord?
Logically speaking, this Earth Envoy Lord should be angry at the Xuan Envoy Lord's actions.
"Lu Xuan is indeed a young hero with a unique style of doing things!"
"Since I came to An Prefecture, I have always been personally received by others."
"I have never encountered a situation where I have to wait for others!"
"Deputy Envoy He Yan, right, my name is Li Chengxing, Deputy Division Master of the Xuan Bird Guard, and I am the person responsible for transporting the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to An Prefecture this time."
Li Chengxing told He Yan his identity, and then continued without waiting for He Yan to react.
"Your Xuan Envoy Lord is really a busy man!"
"However, this time, I must meet him in person."
"This Division Master is here with the Holy Mandate, and His Majesty wants to summon your Xuan Envoy Lord!"
"Lu Xuan!"
He Yan was shocked by Li Chengxing's series of shocking words to the point of being dazed.
"Deputy Division... Deputy Division Master?"
"Holy Mandate?"
"Your Majesty?"
These words, in He Yan's eyes, were things that he could not come into contact with.
That high and mighty Great Xia Emperor who ruled over hundreds of millions of subjects had actually noticed the Xuan Envoy Lord.
This... this... is this true?
"Division Master Li, please... please go to the hall to rest for a while, this subordinate will go and notify the Xuan Envoy Lord immediately."
As for those people from the Black Feather Guard, He Yan didn't have time to greet them at this time.
Because what Li Chengxing said was too important.
That was an imperial edict!
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, was there anything more important than an imperial edict?
Obviously not!
In the face of the Great Xia Emperor's imperial edict, He Yan's forehead was constantly sweating, but the speed under his feet did not slow down in the slightest.
When He Yan came outside Lu Xuan's courtyard, there were five or six Xuan Bird Guards stationed there at the entrance.
"Subordinates have seen Deputy Envoy Lord!"
The sound outside the courtyard naturally fell into Lu Xuan's ears.
"Hmm?"
"Could it be that the group from the Heavenly Capital Xuan Bird Guard has arrived?"
In an instant, the door of the training room in the courtyard was opened by an invisible big hand, and Lu Xuan's figure disappeared into the room like a ghost.
In less than a breath, a phantom purple brilliance shone, like a sharp arrow piercing through the void, and shot out from the courtyard gate.
When everyone came back to their senses and refocused their eyes, Lu Xuan was standing in front of the gate.
Lu Xuan stood steadily in front of the courtyard gate, with his hands behind his back, his face calm, his eyes sharp, and he stared at He Yan in front of him.
"Deputy Envoy He, what's the matter?"
As for those people from the Heavenly Capital, Lu Xuan didn't need to personally receive them, Deputy Envoy He was enough.
Seeing this, He Yan glanced at the surrounding Xuan Bird Guards, and then trotted towards Lu Xuan.
Only to see that when He Yan approached Lu Xuan, he said in a very small voice.
"Xuan Envoy Lord, it's a big deal, you must go there in person!"
"This time, the person who came from the Heavenly Capital is Lord Li Chengxing, one of the three Deputy Division Masters."
"Moreover, Lord Li also carries the edict of the current one!"
"His Majesty's edict!"
After hearing this news, Lu Xuan's calm heart fluctuated violently for the first time!
Li Chengxing, one of the three Deputy Division Masters!
The Great Xia Empress's edict!
These two pieces of news really shocked Lu Xuan.
Especially the Great Xia Empress, Xia Mingyue, when exactly had he been noticed by this ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty!
To be targeted by such a terrifying figure was definitely not a good thing for Lu Xuan!
