The figures ahead ford a line, blocking the entire road.
Mu Xiong frowned as he led his people slowly forward, wanting to see who dared to block the Mu Mansion’s path.
But when they saw that the group was wearing Inspection Mansion uniforms, Mu Xiong laughed. So it was them.
"I wondered who it was. Turns out it’s the Inspector." Mu Xiong said with a cold laugh, "Earlier, we asked you to help clear the way, and you didn’t co. I thought you’d forgotten, but here you are now, almost at the dock. What’s the use of coming now?"
"Forget it, forget it."
Mu Xiong waved his hand helplessly, "Don’t co for nothing. Help us carry these things later. There are so many boxes here!"
"You all can just rest in a bit." Mu Xiong turned to his n and said, "Let them handle the carrying."
"Alright!"
Everyone was happy to hear this. They wouldn’t have to work, and there was free labor—nothing could be better.
"Mu Xiong of the Mu Mansion, yes?" Wu Santong, standing next to Li Hengsheng, asked with a smile, "What’s inside these boxes?"
"Why so many questions from you? What does it have to do with you what’s inside the boxes? Just help carry them!" Mu Xiong snapped coldly.
"You guys, co over and push the carts!"
As he spoke, Mu Xiong ordered the guards from the Inspection Mansion present to co over and push the carts.
But everyone looked at each other, and no one moved.
"What? Can’t you be moved?" Mu Xiong said coldly.
"Mu Xiong."
At this mont, Li Hengsheng stepped forward, smiling as he said, "These are people from my Inspection Mansion. We didn’t co here in the middle of the night to help you push carts and carry things. I think you might have misunderstood."
"Then what are you here for?" Mu Xiong stared intently at Li Hengsheng.
"We received a report that illegal items are being transported here, so the Inspection Mansion is here to investigate the matter." Li Hengsheng raised his hand, pointing to the carts behind, and said, "Soone reported that the items your Mu Mansion is transporting are problematic. Please open the boxes for inspection, won’t you?"
"You’re being presumptuous!"
Mu Xiong was instantly furious, shouting, "These items belong to our Third Master of Mu Mansion. How dare you inspect them? I think you’re tired of living!"
"Li Hengsheng, don’t bring trouble on yourself!"
"Out of respect, I’ll call you Inspector. Without that respect, you’re nothing to my Mu Mansion!"
Mu Xiong pointed at Li Hengsheng’s nose and cursed.
"Insulting the Inspector, who’s seeking death now?" Wu Santong retorted with a cold expression.
"n, open the boxes!"
Li Hengsheng shouted loudly.
Many guards imdiately stepped forward.
"Let’s see who dares!" Mu Xiong also stepped forward, shouting.
But with Mu Xiong’s shout, the guards hesitated, stopping in their tracks, uncertainty displayed on their faces.
For a mont, no one dared to move forward.
"Cowards!"
Wu Santong spat on the ground and stepped forward to open the box.
"Courting death!"
At this mont, a person from Mu Mansion stepped forward to attack Wu Santong.
"Get lost."
Wu Santong’s hand ford a claw, dislocating the arm of the Mu Mansion person instantly.
The person from Mu Mansion scread in agony, while others rushed forward to stop Wu Santong.
But they were only of the Transcendent Realm, how could they stop Wu Santong?
Mu Xiong then moved, throwing a punch at Wu Santong!
However, just as Mu Xiong struck, he heard a faint sound of thunder. In the next mont, Li Hengsheng appeared before him. As Mu Xiong threw his punch, Li Hengsheng also struck, their fists clashing head-on!
Mu Xiong wasn’t afraid at all, for Li Hengsheng was only a martial artist of the Postnatal Perfection Realm, just like himself.
No telling who would lose!
But the mont their fists collided, Mu Xiong’s expression changed dramatically; Li Hengsheng’s punch was far beyond his own in strength.
The formidable force cracked Mu Xiong’s hand bones, sending him flying backward and causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
Never did Mu Xiong expect to be so grievously injured by Li Hengsheng, despite being in the sa realm.
"Attacking my Inspection Mansion’s mbers, you have quite the nerve." Li Hengsheng remarked indifferently.
"Li Hengsheng, how dare you offend my Mu Mansion!" Mu Xiong exclaid in disbelief, holding his injured hand.
"What’s so great about your Mu Mansion?" Li Hengsheng said with narrowed eyes, "No matter how big your Mu Mansion is, it’s still within Beihan Country. Though I’m not from Beihan Country, I’m serving as an inspector within its borders. You’ve violated Beihan Country’s laws, and I naturally have the authority to deal with you!"
"Open the boxes!"
Li Hengsheng commanded loudly.
The others were shocked, watching Li Hengsheng. They never imagined their Inspector would actually dare to act against the Mu Mansion!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it possible.
If it were the previous Inspector, they would’ve clung to the Mu Mansion, eagerly currying favor rather than offending them.
This Inspector seed truly different!
As they watched Mu Xiong get incapacitated by Li Hengsheng, and with Wu Santong having subdued the others, they had no more reservations. They stepped forward and used tools to pry open the boxes.
When they opened the boxes, both Li Hengsheng and Wu Santong were stunned by their contents.
The boxes were filled with people.
All won.
All young won of marriageable age.
