Chapter 666: Is this Guardian Envoy a slacker?

Chapter 666: Is this Guardian Envoy a slacker?

Hu Yue led the crowd and quickly returned to the Guardian Manor.

When they arrived at the main hall,

they saw a refined figure standing quietly in the center.

An aura as vast as an abyss faintly emanated from the figure.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately shouted respectfully in unison,

"Greetings, Lord Guardian Envoy."

Zhang Yuhe turned around to look at Hu Yue and the others, a trace of displeasure flashing through his heart.

Regarding the information about the Tianfeng Continent, he had naturally already understood it thoroughly within Donghua Palace.

According to what he knew,

the cultivation atmosphere in the Tianfeng Continent was very prosperous.

Various wealthy and powerful families were scattered everywhere across the continent, taking root and developing.

Among them, the most noteworthy were the three major families: the Ye, Zhao, and Wang.

These three major families all had True God Realm Cultivators stationed there, making them a force not to be underestimated.

However,

today, when he, the Guardian Envoy, assumed office, not a single person came out to welcome him.

Even though he waited for half a day,

in the end, he only waited for the forces that originally belonged to the Guardian Manor.

As for the forces of the various major families, not a single person came.

Not to mention that the True God Cultivators of the three major families did not come to welcome him,

even those small families did not send anyone over.

"The waters of this Tianfeng Continent seem a bit deep."

"No wonder God King Yuan He insisted on sending me over."

"He even repeatedly exhorted me beforehand, for fear that I would carelessly capsize."

"It seems that the matters inside this place are indeed not so simple."

Zhang Yuhe thought silently in his heart.

Even with him, the Guardian Envoy, assuming office, the local powerful Family factions did not send anyone to welcome him.

This clearly showed they did not take him seriously.

To be precise,

they did not take Donghua Palace seriously.

"I hope you don't court death; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhang Yuhe muttered silently to himself.

Suddenly,

he turned around to look at the crowd and then asked indifferently,

"How is the situation in the Tianfeng Continent recently? Are there any places that require attention?"

"This…"

Hu Yue and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Facing this newly arrived Guardian Envoy, they really couldn't quite figure out the situation.

They didn't know Zhang Yuhe's true thoughts,

so for a moment, they actually didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yuhe asked with a smile,

"Just speak the truth, don't worry too much."

Hearing this,

Hu Yue clenched his teeth, and he spoke with excitement,

"Reporting to Lord Guardian Envoy,"

"the current situation in the Tianfeng Continent is indeed somewhat ominous."

"Under the leadership of the three major families—the Ye, Zhao, and Wang—the wealthy and powerful families everywhere have long since stopped listening to the orders of the Guardian Manor."

"Even the managerial personnel we sent out to collect annual tributes frequently suffer inexplicable attacks."

"To be honest, except for the surrounding areas of Heavenly Wind City,"

"the orders of the Guardian Manor can no longer be executed at all across the Tianfeng Continent."

"Oh, there is actually such a thing?"

Zhang Yuhe responded indifferently, his expression seeming somewhat surprised.

He knew that the wealthy and powerful families everywhere would certainly be somewhat arrogant and domineering,

but he hadn't expected these people to be arrogant to such an extent,

not even wanting to give the annual tribute to the Guardian Manor,

and even daring to attack the managerial personnel of the Guardian Manor.

You must know that

the Guardian Manors everywhere represent the Face of Donghua Palace.

Regardless of whether there are True God Disciples serving as Guardian Envoys,

the Guardian Manor is likewise an agency dispatched by Donghua Palace everywhere,

belonging to the peripheral forces stationed by Donghua Palace in various places.

The major powerful families of the Tianfeng Continent actually gave so little Face to the Guardian Manor;

are they perhaps trying to rebel?

Where did they get the guts to oppose Donghua Palace?

Could it be that they are tired of living?

The Guardian Manor collecting annual tributes everywhere is the basic policy for Donghua Palace to rule the four directions.

In fact, the annual tributes collected by the Guardian Manors everywhere are not too much,

just a gesture to show that they are still willing to submit to the rule of Donghua Palace.

If they don't want to pay the annual tribute, actually that's fine too.

Take the three major families—the Ye, Zhao, and Wang—for example; because they have True God Cultivators stationed there,

as long as these True God Old Ancestors are willing to obey the orders of Donghua Palace and become Guest Elders and benefactors of Donghua Palace,

their respective families can stop paying annual tributes.

Moreover, becoming a benefactor and Guest Elder of Donghua Palace comes with numerous benefits.

They can also obtain contribution points by completing the tasks of Donghua Palace.

With contribution points, they can, just like the Disciples of Donghua Palace,

redeem items in the treasury and even consume contribution points

to enter the Dao Repository Hall of Donghua Palace and view Divine Ability classics within a specific scope.

Even so,

the True God Old Ancestors of the Ye, Zhao, and Wang families did not join Donghua Palace to become Guest Elders.

Although Donghua Palace has tried to win them over multiple times, these three people have always shirked.

They neither want to pay annual tributes nor want to become benefactors and obey the orders of Donghua Palace.

Now, what's even more outrageous is that

these three major families have actually roped in other wealthy and powerful families to resist the Guardian Manor together.

This is probably really being tired of living.

Do they really think Donghua Palace is just a decoration?

No wonder before departure, God King Yuan He kept exhorting him to act with caution,

especially to pay attention to these three major families and not carelessly fall into their Dao.

Now it seems,

it really is quite interesting.

I wonder who is backing them up? Could it be the Tianyang Sect?

It couldn't be an Extra-territorial Evil God, could it?

Do they think that the Donghua Domain is vast and boundless, with the heavens high and the emperor far away,

so Donghua Palace can no longer control them?

Naive.

Thinking of this,

a trace of disdain appeared on Zhang Yuhe's Face.

What kind of things are they?

How dare they act presumptuously in front of Donghua Palace.

Seeing that Zhang Yuhe stood quietly in place and did not speak,

Hu Yue asked in a low voice,

"Do you need us to notify all parties and have them come to pay respects to Your Lordship?"

Hearing this,

Zhang Yuhe waved his hand and said indifferently,

"No need, those who want to come will naturally come."

"As for those who don't want to come, don't force it too much."

Zhang Yuhe believed that

the major forces of the Tianfeng Continent must have long known the news of his coming to serve as the Guardian Envoy.

People who know what's good for them will naturally come to pay respects.

As for those who don't know what's good for them, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, they will soon become a group of dead people.

For a group of dead people,

does he still need to care?

Hearing these words from Zhang Yuhe,

Hu Yue and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

He really didn't quite figure out Zhang Yuhe's true thoughts.

Could this Lord Guardian Envoy just be here to slack off on a task,

without intending to truly represent Donghua Palace and suppress the local lawless forces?

Thinking of this,

the crowd couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Everyone thought in their hearts,

having run into a slacker Guardian Envoy,

their future days probably won't be easy.

Although they thought this way in their hearts,

Hu Yue and the others didn't say anything more.

After all, even if Zhang Yuhe was just here to slack off on a task,

he was still a high and lofty True God Cultivator, and he also represented Donghua Palace.

What else could they do?

Could they possibly try to persuade him?

Alas…

Thinking of this,

Hu Yue couldn't help sighing.

Originally, he had thought that after the Guardian Envoy arrived,

they would be able to stretch their fists and feet and revive the authority of the Guardian Manor in the Tianfeng Continent.

Now it seemed there was no hope.

This newly arrived Lord Guardian Envoy clearly did not have such thoughts,

not even willing to summon the representatives of various clans.

This made him somewhat helpless.

But how should he put it?

At least now there was a Guardian Envoy present.

No matter how arrogant the wealthy and powerful families everywhere were, they surely wouldn't act presumptuously in front of the Guardian Envoy.

Their future work should be a bit smoother than before.

Although it didn't meet everyone's previous expectations,

at least it could allow the Guardian Manor to stand steadily and safely in the Tianfeng Continent.

Hu Yue believed that

no matter how arrogant the three major families were, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the personnel of the Guardian Manor again.

If that were truly the case,

that would be an open rebellion.

Even if this newly appointed Guardian Lord wanted to continue being a slacker,

Donghua Palace probably wouldn't agree.

While feeling disappointed, Hu Yue thought silently in his heart,

with the Guardian Envoy here, the situation at least wouldn't get any worse.
