Chapter 52: Wang Guofeng, Inspection Envoy of Yunzhong Prefecture

Chapter 52: Wang Guofeng, Inspection Envoy of Yunzhong Prefecture

Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng were scared out of their wits by Zhang Yuhe's words.

They had no idea what on earth had happened.

Zhang Yuhe had suddenly sealed off the entire city, and then used thunderous methods to completely annihilate the He and Li families.

All of this had happened too quickly.

Until now, Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng were still in a daze.

As for what Zhang Yuhe said—that Wind Whisper Pavilion was a secret stronghold of the Demon God Cult? That the He and Li families colluded with the Demon God Cult?

To be honest, the two of them, Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng, did not quite believe that this matter was true.

It was hard to say for Wind Whisper Pavilion; after all, Wind Whisper Pavilion had only been established in Yunzhong Prefecture for a few hundred years, and they might not understand it thoroughly yet.

But as for the He and Li families, Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng knew them inside and out.

Their respective factions had coexisted in Yunzhong Prefecture for tens of thousands of years.

Who didn't know who?

To say that the He and Li families had other illicit intentions might be possible.

But to say that the He and Li families colluded with the Demon God Cult, they really found it hard to believe.

After all, the Demon Race and the Demon God Cult were simply too distant to them.

There had never been any record of Demon God Cult activities appearing in Yunzhong Prefecture.

Where on earth would the He and Li families go to collude with demons?

Even if Wind Whisper Pavilion truly was a stronghold of the Demon God Cult, where would the He and Li families get the guts to collude with Wind Whisper Pavilion?

Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng were more willing to believe something else.

These were simply excuses deliberately found by Zhang Yuhe; he simply wanted to wipe out the He and Li families.

Because in recent years, the He and Li families had indeed been somewhat disrespectful to the Dao Saint Sect.

Especially when Zhang Yuhe had just taken office.

The He and Li families could be said to have given him zero Face at all.

Therefore, this new Guardian Envoy directly found an excuse to exterminate the clans of the He and Li families.

Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng were truly frightened out of their wits.

They were afraid that Zhang Yuhe would also pin the crime of colluding with the Demon God Cult on them.

In Yu Fantian, the Demon God Cult was an absolute taboo.

No matter who it was, once they touched upon matters of the Demon God Cult, it meant death.

And it wouldn't just be one person dying.

The entire clan would have to die along with them.

Regarding matters of the Demon God Cult, the Dao Saint Sect would never show any mercy.

Once Zhang Yuhe also pinned the charge of colluding with the Demon God Cult on them,

where could they go to reason?

Zhang Yuhe's gaze was cold, and he did not know what Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng were thinking at this moment.

Furthermore, he had no interest in knowing.

The collusion of the He and Li families with the Demon God Cult was a fact.

However, he had no need to explain to these people.

As a Guardian Envoy representing the Dao Saint Sect and guarding a region, as long as his actions complied with the principles of the Sect, that was enough.

As for people outside the Sect, there was no need to take them too much to heart.

Hearing Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng hastily clear their relationship with the He and Li families and express complete ignorance,

Zhang Yuhe did not dwell too much on this matter either.

To be honest, Wind Whisper Pavilion had operated in Yunzhong Prefecture for hundreds of years.

To say that the Qian and Sun families were completely clean and had no ties whatsoever with Wind Whisper Pavilion—

he simply did not believe it.

After all, among these two factions alone, there were hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, not to mention the countless Mortals belonging to the two families.

Among so many people, it was impossible that not a single one had been infiltrated by the Demon God Cult.

However, Zhang Yuhe also understood the principle that clear water has no fish.

He did not intend to investigate too deeply either.

If they were to investigate seriously, I'm afraid not many living people would be left in the entire Yunzhong Prefecture.

Zhang Yuhe still needed people to help him do things.

Could he really rely on himself alone to manage such a huge Yunzhong Prefecture?

Zhang Yuhe swept his cold gaze over Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng, and said indifferently,

"He and Li families colluded with the Demon God Cult. According to the order of the Dao Saint Sect, their clans should be exterminated."

"Currently, there should still be remnants of the two families in the city, and in the surrounding cities, there must be countless more remnants."

"Now, manpower will be conscripted from your two families to wipe out the remnants of the He and Li families. You have no objections, right?"

"No objections. The He and Li families colluded with the Demon God Cult, and their crimes deserve death. As a local prominent family, our Qian clan naturally ought to obey the commands of Lord Guardian, annihilate the rebels, and maintain the peace and tranquility of Yunzhong Prefecture."

As soon as Zhang Yuhe finished speaking, Qian Weiguang frantically nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Standing nearby, Sun Pengcheng also hurriedly chimed in.

He even felt a bit annoyed; he had been scared silly just now.

He hadn't reacted in time, allowing Qian Weiguang to seize the lead.

It should have been him who agreed first.

Responding a step later—if he happened to anger this terrifying Lord Guardian, it would be all over for him.

Watching the sensible appearance of the two, Zhang Yuhe nodded in satisfaction.

He raised his head to look in the direction of the Guardian Manor, and shouted loudly,

"Where is Wang Guofeng?"

When the change occurred in Yunzhong City, Wang Guofeng had quickly walked out of the manor.

At this moment, Wang Guofeng was in the open space outside the Guardian Manor, watching Zhang Yuhe standing proudly in mid-air.

Earlier, seeing Zhang Yuhe suppress the entire city by himself and wipe out two clans with a wave of his hand,

this made Wang Guofeng's heart surge uncontrollably, giving him the feeling that a real man should be just like this.

Hearing Zhang Yuhe call his name,

Wang Guofeng quickly flew over from the peak where the Guardian Manor was located.

"Your subordinate Wang Guofeng greets Lord Guardian Envoy."

Seeing Wang Guofeng approach, Zhang Yuhe first nodded, and then said in a clear voice,

"Wang Guofeng, I, this Guardian Envoy, now appoint you as the Inspection Envoy of Yunzhong Prefecture, temporarily leading the Cultivators of the Qian and Sun families to suppress all rebels who colluded with the Demon God Cult."

"Do not let a single person slip through the net. Do you understand?"

"Yes, your subordinate will definitely not fail the trust of my Lord."

Wang Guofeng responded loudly.

He thought to himself with secret excitement,

this trip to Yunzhong Prefecture was indeed the right choice.

As soon as he arrived, he latched onto Zhang Yuhe's super-thick thigh.

Although the Inspection Envoy of the Guardian Manor was not an official position,

as long as Zhang Yuhe still served as the Guardian Envoy here,

then his position as Inspection Envoy in Yunzhong Prefecture would be below one person and above millions.

Moreover, as soon as he took office, a super lucrative job came his way.

What job could be more lucrative than ransacking homes and exterminating clans?

Suppressing the remnants of the He and Li families—to Wang Guofeng, how could this be considered a mere task?

This was simply an opportunity to make a fortune.

Zhang Yuhe did not care about Wang Guofeng's thoughts, as long as he could earnestly handle matters for him.

As for Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng beside them, they had even fewer thoughts.

Even though Wang Guofeng was only a Golden Core Cultivator, they still stepped forward politely to greet him.

"Qian Weiguang greets Lord Inspection Envoy. In the future, I hope Lord Envoy will take good care of us."

"You are too polite, two Seniors. It is all thanks to the cultivation of Lord Guardian that we should all do our best to serve the Lord."

Facing the two Nascent Soul Cultivators, Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng, Wang Guofeng did not act arrogantly.

Instead, he politely greeted them with the status of a Junior.

"Alright, leave the subsequent matters to you to handle. The sealing Formation in the city will be lifted in a quarter of an hour."

After Zhang Yuhe finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Guardian Manor.
