Governor Hong Zhi spoke with a sense of confusion.

Strange!

How did that Luo Jinghe get on the bad side of this esteemed Xuan Shi?

Without even an interrogation, the dignified prefectural inspector was directly executed by the Xuan Shi.

After all, the Profound Bird Guards generally don’t interfere with local government affairs.

Their duty is to handle the extraordinary and bizarre, eliminate monsters, and hunt down members of the Pure World White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, Hong Zhi concluded that Luo Jinghe must have crossed a line with the Profound Bird Guards at some point.

However, Hong Zhi felt no pressure since it wasn’t him who died.

"Rest assured, Xuan Shi, I will ensure that this evidence against Luo Jinghe reaches the hands of the state shepherd."

After finishing, Hong Zhi carefully picked up the documents and placed them inside his chest.

"Xuan Shi, I shall take my leave now!"

As Hong Zhi walked out of the hall, three Profound Bird Guards followed him, carrying an object wrapped in thick cloth.

After Hong Zhi left, He Yan approached Lu Xuan.

"Xuan Shi, Luo Jinghe had contacted a jianghu faction called Yanyu Building, intending to harm the Lu Family Pharmacy."

Lu Xuan: "Yanyu Building?"

"Yes, Yanyu Building is an assassin organization in Anzhou, led by Fen Yumu, a martial artist who has just entered the Inner Qi Realm."

The four assassins Luo Jinghe hired are all at the Hidden Dragon Inn." After introducing the information about Yanyu Building, He Yan spoke again.

"Xuan Shi, how should we deal with them?"

Lu Xuan, naturally, would not show mercy to these assassins, coldly said, "Kill them!"

"Yes!"

After giving instructions, Lu Xuan recalled the aura of the Pure World White Lotus Sect he sensed in Lanshan County.

"By the way, I discovered traces of the Pure World White Lotus Sect in Lanshan County!"

"Notify all Profound Bird Guards to patrol White Dao Prefecture. If any news about the Pure World White Lotus Sect is discovered, notify me immediately!"

Upon hearing about the Pure World White Lotus Sect, He Yan’s expression became solemn.

"Have those demonic people of the Pure World White Lotus Sect become active again?"

Just recently, He Yan remembered that Li had led many Profound Bird Guards to Lingshi County to hunt down an elder of the Pure World White Lotus Sect.

Unexpectedly, it wasn’t long before they reappeared in White Dao Prefecture.

A centipede dies without being stiff!

The demonic people of the Pure World White Lotus Sect, like rats in the sewer, pop up to annoy people from time to time.

The Pure World White Lotus Sect, prematurely awakening the extraordinary and bizarre.

Sigh, it’s a turbulent time!

In Quicksand County, Old Yv still hasn’t found any trace of the Demon King.

Compared to He Yan’s worries, Lu Xuan remained calm and composed.

Lu Xuan was contemplating how to earn new System Points.

The storage of the Profound Bird Guards had nearly been depleted by Lu Xuan.

The remaining few were specifically left for the Profound Bird Guard of White Dao Prefecture by Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan still had a sense of propriety, not refining all the gifts from heaven and earth.

"Mr. He, the people sent to Tian Du should have arrived by now."

"When can the people from Tian Du deliver the spiritual objects of heaven and earth that I need?"

That high-quality spiritual object of heaven and earth was something Lu Xuan hadn’t forgotten, as he was very interested in it.

Upon hearing this, He Yan felt a sense of helplessness.

"Xuan Shi, judging by the normal travel time,

the Profound Bird Guards sent to Tian Du should have arrived a few days ago."

There was another sentence He Yan dared not voice out.

That was, with demands like those of the Xuan Shi, obtaining approval for that batch of spiritual objects of heaven and earth would be difficult.

Tian Du!

A vast and majestic city stood towering over the land.

At the heart of this city sat a solemn and sacred palace.

The palace entrance was grand and massive, with scarlet doors inlaid with golden embossments, intimidating all who looked at them, dissuading any direct gaze.

This palace was the power center of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Imperial Palace, where the Great Xia Emperor resided.

In the vicinity of the imperial palace, a vast mansion was located a hundred miles away.

The mansion spanned several thousand acres, surrounded by towering walls that appeared impregnable.

A large plaque hung over the entrance of the mansion, inscribed with three large characters, with various Profound Bird patterns etched around them.

Profound Bird Guard!

The items on this plaque were hand-crafted by the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and bestowed upon the Profound Bird Guard.

Within the Profound Bird Guard mansion, there was an open courtyard where several dozen Profound Bird Guards congregated.

All of them wore white Profound Bird uniforms, poring over letters from Profound Bird Guards across different regions.

At that moment, the previously calm atmosphere was disrupted by a voice of doubt.

One young man in a white Profound Bird uniform appeared quite youthful.

And it was his voice that expressed the doubt.

He held a letter from White Dao Prefecture, examining it closely.

Finally, his hand shook while holding the letter, eyes widening as disbelief filled them.

"Eh!"

"Could there be a mistake with this transmission from White Dao Prefecture?"

"How could such astonishing spiritual objects of heaven and earth be requested?"

Three high-quality spiritual objects, twenty medium-quality spiritual objects, and a hundred low-quality spiritual objects.

Goodness, is this real?

Not even mentioning the massive quantity of medium-quality and low-quality spiritual objects.

Just the mention of these high-quality spiritual objects alone was enough to defy belief.

High-quality spiritual objects were something he’d never seen mentioned in any letter in the past two years.

The Xuan Shi of White Dao Prefecture was requesting three high-quality spiritual objects!

This...this...

In fact, he didn’t know that Lu Xuan originally wanted to request an ultimate-grade spiritual object.

However, this wishful thought was discouraged by He Yan.

After much hesitation, Lu Xuan changed it to three high-quality spiritual objects.

"No, I must inform Sir Huang!"

With that said, the Profound Bird Guard rushed out of the courtyard with the letter from White Dao in hand!

Soon after, in the Profound Bird Guard’s assembly hall!

At that moment, there were several figures in the assembly hall.

An elderly man clad in a red Profound Bird uniform, appearing to be in his seventies or eighties, occupied the main seat.

Unquestionably, this elderly man was an Earth-level Profound Bird Guard, an external force Grandmaster!

Incidentally, he was one of the Earth-level Profound Bird Guards responsible for delivering the spiritual objects of heaven and earth.

Anzhou and several nearby prefectures were personally overseen by him.
