Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 821 - 454: Zhan Tian Enraged! (Part 2)

The building collapsed, and there were deep, bottomless cracks on the ground, some several meters wide.

It’s still unknown if anyone has died.

When the year-end assessment comes, he’s finished.

"This time it’s not me, look for her, it was all her doing."

Chen Xuan directly shifted all the responsibility to Yao’Er, after all, she had the Shadow Guard to back her up.

Besides, doing this... could also help Ye Jinghong.

Seeing his mournful face, he truly felt a bit sorry for him.

"Who are you...?"

Ye Jing displayed confusion, Yao’Er appeared unfamiliar, but listening to Chen Xuan’s tone... such matters should be nothing for her.

"Alright, just report this matter directly to the Ritual Department, attribute it to the Shadow Guard."

Under normal circumstances, even the director of the Three Judicial Departments of the mere Molan Mansion wouldn’t qualify to see her.

But now she was in a good mood, having slain a major figure from Hidden Kill, she could return with her head held high.

The Shadow Guard had lost face last time, but now they could regain it.

Strangely enough,

Her gaze inevitably turned to Chen Xuan; last time it started with him, and this time it was him again.

But now she was somewhat certain, Chen Xuan really had no connection with Hidden Kill.

Otherwise, no matter how bold he was, he wouldn’t dare kill the Sect Leader of the Nine Gates of Hidden Kill.

This also proved his loyalty to Great Yu.

After returning to the Imperial City, she needed to discuss this properly with Wood Shadow, especially since Xiaoqi is still her disciple.

Given the various relationships involved, she definitely couldn’t allow Wood Shadow to target him.

"Good, good, this is for the best."

"Then thank you, sir."

Ye Jinghong nodded slightly to Yao’Er, now he was relieved.

With the Shadow Guard taking the blame, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He then looked gratefully at Chen Xuan.

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled, we look after our own, of course, we help each other out.

...

The news of the Shadow Guard killing the Sect Leader of the Nine Gates, Sword Sect, spread throughout Great Yu in just a few days.

This time, the Shadow Guard swept away the previous humiliation and regained their reputation.

Imperial Capital Shadow Guard Headquarters.

A rare smile appeared on Wood Shadow’s face.

Who would have thought that Yao’Er’s trip to Molan Mansion would yield such results, restoring the Shadow Guard’s dignity.

However, the only thing that dissatisfied her was that Yao’Er actually spoke well of Prince Xuan.

The explanation given was that he played a major role in killing Huyan Blade.

Moreover, he didn’t seek any credit, giving it all to the Shadow Guard.

Thus, he must be loyal to Great Yu, meaning there was no need to keep surveilling him.

"Phew—"

Wood Shadow let out a long breath.

Alright, since Yao’Er spoke up, she would give face, especially since a great merit was established this time.

Meanwhile, in the Three Judicial Departments of the Imperial Capital.

Zhan Tian’s face was ashen.

The Three Judicial Departments were responsible for maintaining the safety of Great Yu, always dealing with Hidden Kill.

But this time, the Shadow Guard killed the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.

This made the Three Judicial Departments lose face.

Even quite a few people above started gossiping.

"The Three Judicial Departments are incompetent!"

"The Three Judicial Departments are no better than a spy!"

....

All sorts of unpleasant words reached his ears, causing his fury.

If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t be so angry.

Fine, they killed, so what?

They are all part of Great Yu, who cares who kills whom!

"What on earth is Ye Jinhong doing, not knowing that such an esteemed leader of the Sword Sect mingled into Moran City?!"

Zhan Tian glared fiercely, angrily questioning a middle-aged man dressed in red below.

Cai Kun showed a bitter smile, ever since Wu Yue went into the Library Pavilion, he was responsible for the Three Judicial Departments’ daily matters.

"Elder Zhan, Huyan Blade is a master at the seventh level of the Dao Realm, while he’s only at the first level, unable to do much."

Truly exhausting.

If you vent your anger on him, it’s pointless.

Is Ye Jinhong supposed to take action against Huyan Blade?

Even seeking death wouldn’t be done this way!

"Nonsense!"

Zhan Tian cursed outright, rolling up his sleeves, "A master at the seventh level of the Dao Realm sneaked into Moran City just like that, what’s he doing as director."

"Now my Three Judicial Departments have become a laughing stock for those people."

"A bunch of disgraceful wretches."

"Deserved to be watched by the Shadow Guard, the more the better."

In the entire Imperial City only the Ritual Department and the Three Judicial Departments were not intimidated by the Shadow Guard.

Compared to Liu Sheng, his days were indeed the most carefree.

Who’d expect such a mishap, making him a laughing stock?

Then don’t blame him for being unkind.

"Order!"

Zhan Tian calmed his anger, speaking sternly.

And Cai Kun also slightly straightened his posture.

"From today onwards, all Three Judicial Departments of the Great Yu Hundred Mansions will patrol their respective areas daily, whether inns, taverns, or various businesses... no exceptions!"

"Everyone entering and leaving the city must be inspected!"

"I refuse to believe it, Hidden Kill can really hide that well!"

Zhan Tian harbored hatred in his heart.

"But...."

Cai Kun showed a worried expression.

"But what?"

Zhan Tian raised an eyebrow, asking displeased.

"Inspecting entries and exits is feasible, but prolonged patrolling might provoke dissent from many!"

Cai Kun voiced his concerns.

"Heh, dissent?"

Zhan Tian displayed disdain, "Afraid? All for Great Yu’s safety, the Three Judicial Departments are dedicated, who’d dare dissent?"

Besides... he intended to upset them.

Those people in Great Yu’s upper echelons wield power, with industries spread across the Great Yu Hundred Mansions.

Laughing at him, are you? Saying the Three Judicial Departments are not as good as a spy?

Then they shall not have it easy either.

Disrupt their business, cut off their financial streams, let their mouths run loose!

"This way... Elder Zhan, your pressure will increase."

Cai Kun primarily worried about him.

After all, it involves nearly ninety percent of the prominent figures, including those princes.
