Capítulo 1102: Chapter 415: Concealing One’s Weapons
Needless to say, even the court is spending heavily to win him over now.
Just a month ago, the court not only gave him the position of ‘Quan Tianya Jin Yiwei Wanhu Official,’ making him a Fourth Grade high official, but also reportedly granted him considerable power.
So Xi Bitian is very puzzled.
Why does he want to get involved with them, isn’t he afraid of bringing trouble upon himself?
What is his intention behind investing heavily in them?
“Thinking about it now won’t help us.” Iron-faced Judge Luo Yang’s expression was firm, and he said with certainty in his eyes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch, debts must be repaid. No matter what his purpose is, we should do our best to fulfill it for him.”
Accepting his support was a decision made himself.
Luo Yang is well aware that this could be drinking poison to quench thirst, leading them into a quagmire.
But what scares Luo Yang more is the possibility of dying one day due to insufficient cultivation, under the pursuit of the court.
More frightening is the prospect of working hard for years, going through many hardships, only to achieve nothing, failing to avenge the Young Master and those fallen brothers.
Therefore, he is willing to pay the price to obtain the current Third Grade cultivation.
Xi Bitian rely let out a heavy ‘humph’.
If that man’s affairs could be smoothly handled, that would be fine.
The fear is that what he seeks is too great, beyond their capabilities.
He downed the wine in his cup, “Forget it, let’s just hear what that person truly intends. I’m quite curious to et the future Number One in the world, what kind of style does he possess? What does the Invincible Blood Revenge Blade look like? Did he ever ntion where and when we would et?”
Luo Yang shook his head slightly, “Haven’t made contact yet, the previous ssage only said we should try to reach You State within ten days, he would find ti to et with us.”
Divine Fist Judge Xi Bitian instantly frowned deeply, thinking that this person sure carried a lot of arrogance.
Just at this mont, Xi Bitian’s expression changed, and he looked out the window with disdain.
“Let’s change places, court hawks are eyeing this location.”
He discovered that in a few nearby dark alleys, there were several hidden figures observing this place.
During his ti on the run, Xi Bitian had battled with various court institutions nurous tis, recognizing with just a glance that those hidden people were likely Jin Yiwei from the local You State.
Even if separated by a few miles, he could sll these people’s scent.
Luo Yang sighed quietly, resignedly picking up the pile of luggage beside him.
Xi Bitian, although a court fugitive, acted as he pleased.
Sotis he could vanish for months on end, like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail, difficult to track down; sotis he would move openly for months, neither hiding his identity nor concealing his tracks.
Just now, this man stalked through the city gate with a cold and deep face, the one with a five million tael Demon Silver bounty.
Both were naturally targeted by the court.
However, in the next instant, Xi Bitian uttered an exclamation.
He looked out the window with so surprise.
Luo Yang followed his gaze, then raised his eyebrows.
“How strange, is this a dog-eat-dog situation?”
Within that dark alley, two groups of Jin Yiwei clashed.
One group was from the Earth Court, numbering around three hundred, lurking in various houses and hos in the alley; the other group consisted of only thirty-odd people, and their attire differed from ordinary Jin Yiwei with flying fish emblems on their shoulders—that’s Heavenly Jinyi Guards!
What is flying fish? Dragons without claws, indeed.
Though fewer in number, this group held the upper hand, exuding a nacing aura.
The lead figure was a woman, wearing the uniform of a thousand households from Heavenly Jinyi Guards, around thirty, with a graceful appearance.
“That woman seems to be nad Du Honglian.”
Xi Bitian contemplated the recent personnel changes within the Jin Yiwei, “She is newly promoted to Jin Yiwei Thousand Households, deployed to serve under Police Pool of Blood Commander Chu Xisheng, reportedly on a transfer order signed personally by Grandmaster Dugu Shou.”
Thirty zhang away, Du Honglian also looked up at the distant tavern.
“Divine Fist Judge Xi Bitian! Iron-faced Judge Luo Yang!”
Du Honglian squinted her eyes.
Both are figures on the Ministry of Justice’s Black List.
One ranks twenty-seventh on the Earthly List with a Third Grade Upper cultivation, carrying a bounty of five million tael Demon Silver!
Another has a Fourth Grade Upper cultivation, with a bounty also as high as three hundred fifty thousand!
Du Honglian sensed that Luo Yang’s aura was abnormal.
This person’s True Yuan overflowed; he might have recently progressed his cultivation.
He is no longer Fourth Grade.
This made Du Honglian furrow her brows.
The remaining mbers of Chu Family’s Main Branch are becoming increasingly troubleso.
If not captured and killed soon, they will surely beco a major threat to the court!
Though today’s purpose here has nothing to do with these two.
Du Honglian withdrew her gaze, then pressed her hand onto her blade, looking sharply at a dwelling towards the left.
“Earth Court Jin Yiwei Household Commander Zuo Du, your case is exposed! Co out and surrender, don’t force us to act.”
The dwelling remained silent, only the cold and hoarse voice of Earth Court Jin Yiwei Household Commander Zuo Du was heard.
“What a joke, I, Zuo, have been loyal to the court, diligent in my duties since taking office, serving with integrity, what case could fall into your hands?
Do you know that the tavern is housing two Ministry of Justice Black List fugitives? This day’s You State Jin Yiwei arrest operation is entirely ruined because of you! I will surely report and file charges against you later, pursuing your cris rigorously!”
Du Honglian subtly laughed.
Two Earthly List combatants inside the tavern, how could they be a match for a Jin Yiwei Household Commander?
