"The envoy of Xinlan Country is right. Fang Guoyu is guilty of heinous crimes and deserves to die.

"But he is a martial artist of Jiangyuan Country, and it is not up to Divine Land to judge him. Your violation of the international treaty is a fact. On this issue, please give an explanation!

"Indeed, Divine Land is powerful, but your government currently recognizes international treaties.

"We hope that Divine Land will not set this precedent, otherwise martial artists from all countries will go abroad to kill with impunity, throwing the world into chaos.

"Even if Fang Guoyu accepts international trial, it requires the consent of the five envoys, right?"

The envoy of Mei Jian Country stepped forward.

They have not made this deal, so they are not afraid of Divine Land and speak quite impartially.

Orderly and methodical.

Mei Jian Country will suppress Divine Land, but never speaks recklessly.

"Indeed, Divine Land should provide an explanation!"

The envoy of Luoxiong Country nodded in agreement, siding with Mei Jian Country this time.

Divine Land's involvement in foreign affairs is inherently inappropriate and should be explained.

...

Silence!

At this moment, the banquet hall fell silent again.

The envoys of Lie Dian Country and Xinlan Country looked at Liu Yizhou, with ridicule hidden in their eyes.

Yelling so fiercely just now, yet now speechless.

Meanwhile, Mu Cheng furrowed her brow.

Oh no!

The worst-case scenario has occurred.

Handling matters involving international treaties is very troublesome.

Su Yue and his companions killing in public will provide fodder for other countries.

"Sorry, I got you involved!"

Fang Jingmiao looked at Liao Ping with guilt.

"It's okay!"

Liao Ping smiled.

He trusts Liu Yizhou.

"You're right, in the future, Divine Land will strictly control border security.

"Every year there are smugglers causing trouble abroad, and it falls on Divine Land to catch and deal with them.

"Vice Admiral of Bai Hui Sect, your Han Legion borders Jiangyuan Country, henceforth, you must strictly verify identities.

"These smugglers have caused such a big problem for Divine Land."

Liu Yizhou paused and suddenly shook his head with a bit of frustration.

...

Smugglers?

Hearing this, everyone exchanged confused glances.

Not only the foreign envoys, but even Su Yue was dumbfounded.

How did I become a smuggler, abiding by the law my whole life?

It's obvious Liu Yizhou was referring to them as the smugglers.

Yet, this strategy of declaring them smugglers is indeed clever.

According to the international treaty, if smugglers commit crimes abroad, they can be extradited back to Divine Land for trial as long as the local government agrees.

Jiangyuan Country will surely agree to extradite them back for trial.

Du Jing's Book and the others also looked at each other in shock.

Smugglers?

How underhanded!

"General Liu Yizhou, your skill in twisting the truth... is remarkable.

"Su Yue and Gong Ling are obviously students in Jiangwu, with legitimate entry documents and passport information. How could they be smugglers?

"Smugglers can be extradited to Divine Land for trial, but martial artists with legal entry must comply with the international treaty.

"If they commit crimes abroad, they must face trial by the United Council."

The envoy of Lie Dian Country smiled.

It was a very low-level trick, but sneakily finding loopholes is quite adept.

But these envoys stationed in Jiangyuan Country have the duty to gather all intelligence. How could such matters go wrong?

Su Yue and his group are pillars of Divine Land, and utilizing them, other countries can exploit it for gain.

Though they can't take Su Yue and his comrades' lives, extorting Divine Land for a hefty sum is not difficult.

"Indeed, Su Yue and the others are students. They have a legal identity and cannot be extradited!"

The envoy of Mei Jian Country nodded in agreement.

"I am really sorry for this, you can check with Jiangyuan Country's entry network.

"The entry passports and student information are in the names of Mu Cheng, Bai Xiaolong, Meng Yang, Feng Jiajia, Yang Lezhi, and Zhang Wei.

"The six of Su Yue, mischievously using others' passports to smuggle, will be severely punished upon returning to Divine Land."

Liu Yizhou sighed.

"The General is right. Even the Han Legion was tricked by these smugglers!"

Bai Hui Sect also nodded.

...

Su Yue's smile was strained.

He had decided never to deal with these old foxes again in his life.

None of them are upright.

The entry data must be uploaded to the internal government website and cannot be forged.

The only explanation is that Liu Yizhou, with his old cunning, used Bai Xiaolong and the others' passports during their entry.

Passports can't be forged, but faces can be deliberately misrecognized.

Thus, Su Yue and the others, using Bai Xiaolong and other people's passports, roamed in Jiangwu openly as smugglers.

As for those passport details, no one would ever question them.

As for Bai Xiaolong and the others joining the battle... Perhaps gaining experience was one reason, but another was to conclude their study abroad journey.

This conspiracy was too deep, Su Yue's intellect struggled to keep up.

Wang Lu Feng and the others were even more surprised.

Inexplicably, they became smugglers.

Bai Xiaolong and the others had a sudden realization; no wonder the Ministry of Education took their passports a month ago.

They thought it was to process exit procedures for a month.

It turned out they had already been out of the country a month ago, replaced by Su Yue and the others assuming their identity.

Mu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

This was good. As long as Su Yue and the others were identified as smugglers, Divine Land could extradite them.

But if they legally exited, Su Yue and the others returning would require agreement from the five alliance countries and Jiangyuan Country, but that would mean a significant loss for Divine Land.

Smugglers... with Jiangyuan Country's consent, that's all it takes, as written in the international treaty.

"We won't dare to smuggle again!"
