580: Chapter 29 The Grand Finale _1 580: Chapter 29 The Grand Finale _1 The rchant convoy hadn’t been on the road long before Jiang Wang spotted the marks left by the Qing brand catchers at the roadside.
A few branches were casually put together, but only a Qing brand arrest officer of a certain level could decipher their aning.
After seeing the mark, Jiang Wang, citing the stuffiness of the carriage as a reason, dismounted the horse he had been riding for half a day and returned to the carriage.
But just before he lifted the curtain, the back of his hand subtly snapped his little finger three tis behind his back.
No one around seed to pay any attention to him, but Jiang Wang knew for certain that soone would understand the significance of this gesture.
This was his way of using the Qing brand thods to confirm whether the leader of Hell Has No Door, King of Qin Guang, was within the rchant convoy.
He relied on his own Qing brand to ensure the accuracy of the information.
Jiang Wang sat in the carriage with an expressionless face.
At the sa ti, he confird sothing else, that within this rchant convoy was an undercover agent of the Qi Country’s Qing brand.
He just didn’t know to whom the agent belonged.
The Patrol Inspection Bureau in the Capital City nominally oversees all Qing brand arrest officers across the country, but that’s only in na.
The local Qing brands are still managed by the local authorities.
From the Prefectural Governor’s office to the City Lord’s mansion, this is the case.
At most, when a Qing brand passes through to handle a case, the local Qing brands need to cooperate.
The Yang Region is an exception, given its recent incorporation into the realm.
The arrest officers of the Qing brand in the three counties of the Yang Region are mainly built upon the frawork of the officers dispatched from the Capital City’s Patrol Inspection Bureau, combined with the Transcendent arrest officers from the local Yang Region.
They are directly governed by the Capital City’s Patrol Inspection Bureau, but this will not last forever.
Aside from Huang Yixing, who must be cautious and keep a low profile, the other two authorities controlling the three counties of the Yang Region will surely find ways to take back this portion of power.
Both the Tian family and the Gao family have the confidence and strength to do so.
Jiang Wang was not yet clear whether they had accomplished this, and so he could not determine who had planted the undercover agent in the convoy.
If it was Tian Antai who took asures to understand his own trading company, it would be a quite normal behavior.
But if the undercover agent was from the Capital City’s Patrol Inspection Bureau, then it would be a more severe issue.
It could an soone was targeting him…
could it be related to Lin Youxie?
A quick check to see if there were new additions to the rchant convoy would make it easy to judge.
But now was not the ti for such matters.
He had already delivered the intelligence, and no matter who it was, they certainly wouldn’t miss it.
King of Qin Guang was the biggest fish in the entire retrieval operation!
Catching this fish would be enough to satisfy one’s hunger.
No matter who planted the undercover agent, Jiang Wang had no intention of reacting.
Once Yin Guan’s whereabouts are confird, his suspicion would imdiately be cleared.
The real secretive tasks are left to the Shadow Guard by Zhongxuan Sheng.
De Sheng Trading Company has nothing to hide, and letting others gain so understanding is better than malicious speculation…
more reliable.
Now, all that remained was to wait for Yue Leng to arrive.
There’s no doubt, with the exact news of King of Qin Guang in hand, he would co as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, why would he co down from the mountains?
At such tis, Jiang Wang’s mood was unusually calm.
He even allocated a part of his focus to enter the Inner Mansion, tidying up thodically.
If the Inner Mansion were likened to an actual mansion with rooms and courtyards, every corner would need regular “cleaning,” and if so parts were not quite right, they would need “repairing.”
And for the child residing in this mansion, the mansion itself is a vast world, hiding his “treasures” in so places.
Perhaps so shiny stones, or just a slingshot.
The Cultivator is that child, and the Inner Mansion is that mansion.
Jiang Wang had already picked the most precious Divine Power Seed, but he could still try to unearth hidden treasures.
The rchant convoy proceeded orderly.
In the entire convoy, aside from Manager Xiao, there was not a second Transcendent cultivator.
Because the order in Qi Territory was very good, ordinary bandits still had room to survive since the officials were too lazy to bother with them.
As for bandits who were Transcendent cultivators, they were quickly eradicated.
Once in Rong Country, being from Qi Country, they would receive very careful protection from the Rong Country officials.
So there was really no need for a large Transcendent martial force.
The Qing brand plant might be an exception, possibly possessing so kind of hidden strength or secret technique, but it could also be just an ordinary person.
Sotis, an ordinary person with no cultivation can more easily execute missions because they are often overlooked.
The majority of people in this rchant convoy are simply ordinary individuals trying to make a living within it.
Nobody knew, however, what kind of drastic change was waiting for them ahead.
…
…
Bi Yu County.
A hidden courtyard.
The Qing brand arrest officers, led by Ma Xiong, had completely surrounded the place.
In the previous operation, Yue Leng personally oversaw and conducted the manhunt throughout Bi Yu County, relentlessly closing in.
After his sudden departure, Ma Xiong continued the specific execution of the plan, trapping several mbers of Yama in this courtyard who had fled to Bi Yu County.
Now was the ti to close the net.
To compensate for the combat power lost due to Yue Leng’s departure, City Lord Yang Luo of Bi Yu County personally led the troops, a full three thousand county soldiers forming military formations, in addition to the Qing brand arrest officers.
This force was fully capable of capturing all the remaining mbers of Yama in one sweep.
However, the mbers of Yama who noticed this scene did not show any fear.
Because their true bodies weren’t there.
“King of Qin Guang really managed to lure away Yue Leng!”
The image of Wang the Coroner manifested in the light screen showed King of Equality visibly excited.
With City Lord Yang Luo of Bi Yu County being called into action, it signified that the divine Yue Leng really wasn’t present in the area.
To ensure utmost success, Ma Xiong from the Capital City’s Patrol Inspection Bureau could only request aid from the local authorities of Bi Yu County.
Yang Luo’s personal leading of the troops clearly demonstrated his seriousness.
But to King of Equality, Yang Luo wasn’t important.
In his mind, the strongest in the External Building Environnt should be King of Qin Guang, who, among the top leaders of Hell Has No Door where no one acknowledged the others’ supremacy, had firmly established himself as the leader with his overwhelming power.
As for other experts, unless they’ve reached Divine Skills, their strength would be limited.
The departure of Yue Leng ant that his chances of survival greatly increased.
So, it was difficult for him not to be excited.
“King of Qin Guang has honored his promise,” declared King of Ghosts with a resonant voice.
King of Bian Cheng looked towards Wang the Coroner: “How about you?
Can you keep it up?”
Wang the Coroner evidently appeared weak: “I have divided all the parts of my body that I could and hastily put together a body.
Even my power of the Inner Mansion Realm is unstable now.
The following actions must rely on you.”
At that mont, the five “Yama” surrounded by Ma Xiong’s group in the courtyard were all transformations of Wang the Coroner’s own flesh and blood.
It was all to lead the pursuit team away and create an opportunity.
King of Ghosts nodded, “Your part is done.
Now it’s ti for us to act.”
By now Ma Xiong and his team had already breached into the courtyard, and they would probably soon realize the targets were fake.
Wang the Coroner cut off the light screen showing the courtyard to avoid being tracked and spoke with the usual difficulty in his tone, “Qi Country’s top powerhouses cannot act recklessly, or else they wouldn’t have only sent Yue Leng.
Now that Yue Leng has been lured away, what do we have to fear?
King of Qin Guang ordered before he left that we should split into two groups: one to the Jinghai Gao Clan and the other to Heavenly Mansion City.
We’ll obliterate the Jinghai Gao and shatter Heavenly Mansion City, causing an upheaval.”
“Qi Country has just annexed Yang Country, and many powers in the Eastern Region are dissatisfied with it but dare not speak out.
We will create an opportunity for them.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the two counties, we’ll escape separately and et up in the Near Sea Archipelago.”
“After this battle, our Hell Has No Door will certainly beco famous throughout the world and will quickly grow stronger.”
Although what he said should have been highly provocative, his tone remained flat and unenthusiastic, devoid of any emotion.
Fortunately, these mbers of Yama were already well acquainted with his way of speaking.
“The Jinghai Gao will likely be more difficult to deal with.
After all, they have a favored imperial concubine and will probably have many ace cards hidden.”
King of Ghosts spoke calmly, “King of Qin Guang has taken on the most difficult task.
In this operation within Qi Territory, I am the one to act under his direction, so I will go to Jinghai County.”
