Chapter 106: He Always Handles Things Efficiently
Chapter 106: He Always Handles Things Efficiently
In Qingzhou City, at Grand Harmony Pavilion.
On the second floor, a small table was set with two cups of green tea.
Li Xinhan sat with a cold expression, while Li Mujin stood behind him. The siblings quietly gazed across the table.
The middle-aged man with a slender face and a goatee smiled, "You two don't need to be so nervous. I'm just here on Young Master Kang Yun's orders to accompany him for a visit."
"Hmph."
Li Xinhan scoffed and mocked, "In Qingzhou City, you still need a Crystal Condensation Guardian to accompany you when going out. Your group of rakes is becoming more timid year after year."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I just asked you out for a cup of tea."
Zhao Kangyun slightly raised his eyebrows and turned to look towards the distant city wall.
The people he had arranged outside the city earlier had received some news, so he hurriedly requested a clan guardian to escort him, and impatiently summoned Li Xinhan and his sister out.
As direct descendants of a top-tier power, a physical confrontation was out of the question.
But at the very least, he wanted to return the insult from that day in kind.
"Clop, clop, clop..."
As time passed, footsteps became more frequent. Many of the young people who were present that day quickly arrived on the second floor, filling the corridor to capacity.
Without saying a word, they all stared coldly at the distant city wall.
"..."
The Li siblings exchanged a glance, guessing what was happening.
The only person who could gather this group together was Shen Yi.
But this was too quick, wasn't it? The other party had only left Qingzhou City two days ago, and the round trip alone would take a day and a half.
With only half a day left, it was impossible to investigate the reason, gather evidence, and capture the Vajra Sect's abbot with just the hundred and twenty people Shen Yi had brought.
This group probably had the same thought, which was why Zhao Kangyun was so arrogant.
"I told you not to be anxious. Just sit tight."
Zhao Kangyun retracted his gaze, leisurely fanning himself, and looked at the siblings with a mocking expression, "Who told you two to go out without any backup? Remember this for next time."
As prominent figures, they had been too careless that day. The other party, backed by Shen Yi, had shown them no respect, so today, they were well-prepared. They were just waiting for the situation to turn in their favor so they could reclaim their dignity.
The Zhao Family Guardian smiled faintly, not wanting to get involved in the young people's squabble. He picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
The visit to Grand Harmony Pavilion was also at his family's request.
The Demon Suppressing Bureau was known for its high-handedness, but rarely made mistakes. It was rare to find a newly appointed attendant who was young and inexperienced, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. They planned to write a report and submit it to the Demon Suppressing Bureau's office, reminding these hounds to not be so aggressive.
Obviously, Zhao Kangyun had received accurate information.
As the sun rose to its zenith, a group of people had already stopped outside the city, and as usual, they dismounted before entering.
Zhao Kangyun's sharp eyes counted them—one hundred and twenty-four had left, and one hundred and twenty-four had returned, all with expressions of confusion and helplessness.
A smile curved his lips as he realized his guess was correct.
There were no casualties, yet they had returned so quickly, and not a single Vajra Sect disciple was captured. It was highly likely that they had come back empty-handed.
Hong Lei walked at the back, leading a demon horse, but the figure with the chilling killing intent from the previous encounter was nowhere to be seen on the horse's back.
"He must be too ashamed to show his face."
Zhao Kangyun was no longer polite. He snapped his fan shut, stood up, and grabbed the stool that had been prepared for him, testing its weight in his hand, "I think after such a blunder, Young Master Li won't have the face to go back and complain, right?
The other aristocratic clan disciples continued to stare outside.
They had come for Shen Yi, but they dared not get entangled in the dispute between the young masters of the Li and Zhao families.
Listening to Zhao Kangyun's words, their faces remained unchanged, but a faint sense of relief surfaced in their eyes.
The Demon Subduing Bureau was ruthless, not only to outsiders but also to their own people. With such a grand show of force and several lives lost, they had to provide an explanation for this hasty conclusion.
Li Xinhan's face was cold, and he lifted his gaze to stare at his opponent, "Enough nonsense, I'm still waiting to return and report."
"Arrogant."
Zhao Kangyun's face was filled with a smile, but his eyes soon turned fierce as he slammed the bench down!
In that moment, a slender hand grabbed his wrist.
The Zhao family's Guardian spoke softly, "Young Master, it's time to go home."
"What do you mean!"
Zhao Kangyun suddenly turned his head, a stifled breath stuck in his chest.
What, could the Zhao family be insulted at will, while he, a Li family member, couldn't bear the slightest grievance?
Just then, he noticed the Guardian's signal and followed the indicated direction. He saw Hong Lei leading a demon horse, and tied to the horse's back was a flat leather sack that swayed with the wind.
Upon closer inspection, the sack had all its limbs intact, and a bald head was dangling from it.
Who else could it be but the Vajra Sect's Abbot?
Zhao Kangyun was struck by lightning, his hand gripping the bench frozen in mid-air.
The other aristocratic disciples also gasped, their eyes filled with shock.
In Qingzhou, a second-rate power meant having a powerhouse comparable to the Condensation Core Realm within the family. Whether it was due to a fortuitous encounter or some unorthodox method, as long as they could dominate the Jade Dew Realm, it was enough.
As for first-rate powers, they not only needed more genuine Condensation Core Realm powerhouses to preside, but also required control over a stable breakthrough method for the Condensation Core Realm, such as Qingfeng Mountain's Sword Pool. Otherwise, their status would be unstable.
The Vajra Sect barely squeezed into the second-rate category due to the Abbot's sudden increase in strength.
At this moment, this renowned powerhouse had been tied to a horse's back within just two days, his breath completely gone. Even going to Peaceful Mountain to kill a chicken wouldn't be this easy.
It really made one suspect if Shen Yi had prepared his corpse in advance and staged a grand spectacle to intimidate them.
"What are you up to?" Li Mujin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My ass is tired from sitting on the chair, can I switch to a bench to stretch my legs?" Zhao Kangyun pressed the bench to the ground, panting heavily.
"Last time, Shen Yi rode off because it was Qingfeng Mountain. What's the Vajra Sect compared to that? It's just a side dish for him to casually eliminate. I don't know what you bunch of idiots are thinking."
Li Xinhan looked as if he had it all figured out, disdainfully glancing at the crowd.
"..." Li Mujin rolled her eyes at him, speechless.
The noise from upstairs caught their attention.
Hong Lei slightly lifted his head, then his gaze turned hazy as he turned back to look at his colleagues, realizing they weren't much stronger than him.
General Chen Qiankun's attack on Qingfeng Mountain took more than a month.
Shen Yi personally led the captains to exterminate the demons, taking a straightforward and brutal approach. They went up the mountain, slaughtered the old monk, and descended within an hour from start to finish.
It was easier than going out for a meal; perhaps the dishes hadn't even been served yet, and they were already done here.
If it weren't for notifying the local government office to take care of the poisoned villagers, they might have returned even faster.
This achievement was... a little too hot to handle.
