Chapter 422.

It was night, in the Northwatch City Town Guardian’s Mansion.

Inside the hall, the lights were brightly lit, and one of the pretty maids served plates of steaming, delicious food like a flowing stream, quickly filling the round table.

After seven days, Zhenguo Envoy Ji Yongtai once again entertained Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo here.

Earlier, he had apparently received the news of Wang Chen’s departure and then sent someone to deliver a message.

Wang Chen gladly answered the invitation.

“Senior Brother Wang, failing to break the barrier is a common occurrence.”

This Northwatch City’s town envoy personally poured a cup of spirit wine for Wang Duan and said with a smile, “At the level of the Purple Mansion, one mountain is even higher than the next, so my generation of cultivators should be courageous enough to climb the mountain without failing!”

“I’ve been taught.”

Wang Chen cupped his fists and saluted, then picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one go.

His heart secretly lamented.

Ji Yongtai was a cultivator with a courageous and martial temperament, such a temperament was not something that could be faked, and as a disciple of the West Sea Sect with a casual cultivator background, his path in life was bound to be full of thorns and bumps in the road.

Many people encounter difficulties and setbacks, will give up and retreat.

But Ji Yongtai, as he himself said, the courage to climb the mountain without losing!

Unfortunately, the road to the peak has a right way and an evil way, and if one takes the wrong path at the beginning, then climbing even higher is destined to fall to pieces.

“Zuo Shidi ……”

While Wang Chen was thinking, Ji Yongtai added to Zuo Xiaomo, “Don’t be discouraged, in the next two days, I’ll think of a way to draw a group of battle cultivators back to assist you, it’s much stronger than those scattered cultivators.”

He sighed, “The loose cultivators are all like this, doing great things but sparing their lives, seeing small profits but forgetting their righteousness, wanting them to put their lives on the line, that’s impossible, so these people are not enough to be relied upon.”

Zuo Xiaomo subconsciously nodded.

The biggest experience of recruiting loose cultivators in the past few days is that these guys are all really smart and slippery, even if he recruited enough people, wanting to rely on them to clear the horse thieves, that is like a fool’s dream.

But Zuo Xiaomo also vaguely felt that Ji Yongtai seems to be a bit of a joke – even if the tone is very sincere.

He exchanged a glance with Wang Dust.

“Come on!”

Ji Yongtai raised his glass and said, “Let’s not talk about these spoilers, let’s have a drink first, master and brother!”

Boom!

As soon as his words fell, an earth-shattering boom suddenly came from outside.

It was as if a meteorite had crashed into the townhouse, the ground shook violently, and the buildings of the houses trembled!

Something had happened!

Ji Yongtai’s face suddenly changed.

North Hope City’s town hall was his lair that he had operated for many years, not only had it been set up with powerful spell formations, but it also had dozens of high-level qi practicing cultivators escorting it.

Together with his Purple Mansion cultivator, even if a high-ranked Purple Mansion came to attack, it would not be able to easily break through the defense of the town hall.

However, the current Ji Yongtai clearly felt that the legal formation of the Town Guard Mansion had been forcibly destroyed before it was even opened!

Who was so capable?

Huge doubts had just flooded this Town Guard Envoy’s mind when a group of cultivators steeply poured into the hall.

The leader was a tall, thin man with a shadowy look on his face, and a deep aura suddenly enveloped the entire hall with a sweep of his gaze.

All the maids and attendants present all involuntarily knelt down, all of them trembling.

Only to hear this man drink in a deep voice, “This seat, Criminal Law Department Third Hall Master Li Feiyuan, which one of you is Wang Chen?”

Without thinking, Wang Dust stepped forward and saluted, “Disciple Wang Dust, I have met Hall Master Li.”

Ji Yongtai twisted his head horribly to look at Wang Dust, his eyes were horrified and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Li Feiyuan nodded, “Bring the evidence.”

Wang Chen immediately took out the jade box filled with letters from his storage bag and presented it to the other party with both hands.

At this time, Wang Chen’s heart was also very surprised.

It was because this Heart Penalty and Law Department Hall Master had come too quickly!

It should be known that North Hope City is at the border of Central State, very far away from the Western Sea Sect’s mountain gate place, although he had previously used the Sect’s allotted 10,000-mile rune letter to deliver the news, but the above reaction’s rapidity and ferocity of action was beyond imagination.

Wang Chen originally thought that the sect’s people would not arrive until at least tomorrow.

As a result, they came tonight!

Li Feiyuan’s aura had clearly reached the peak of the Purple Mansion, while the two people following him were also at the Purple Mansion cultivation level.

The three of them, one in front of the other, formed a formation similar to the “Three Talents Formation”, suppressing everyone in the hall to death.

The moment they appeared, it was a thunderous momentum.

From this, it can be seen that the sect side, the degree of importance to this matter!

Li Feiyuan opened the jade box and didn’t look through any of the letters inside, just a sweep of his divine sense, and immediately sank his face and stared at Ji Yongtai: “Ji Yongtai, do you know the crime?”

Sweat broke out on Ji Yongtai’s forehead, and he was almost unsteady under the pressure of Li Feiyuan’s aura.

But he stiffly gritted his teeth and replied, “Disciple, disciple doesn’t know what mistake he made!”

“Heh.”

Li Feiyuan grabbed a few letters in the jade box, “These are the letters of your dealings with the bandit leader, Daoist Xuan Yi, colluding with the horse thieves to attack and kill merchants and plunder the herdsmen’s tribes, ironclad evidence and still dare to argue?”

Ji Yongtai lowered his head, “Disciple did not do such a thing, disciple is unjustly accused, please hall master clear investigation!”

“Wrongfully accused?”

Li Feiyuan snorted, “Do you know that Wang Chen has already beheaded Daoist Xuan Yi, and these letters were searched out by him?”

To support this Hall Master’s words, Wang Chen silently took out Daoist Xuan Yi’s corpse from his storage bag.

Ji Yongtai’s face instantly turned white!

He had never dreamed that Wang Chen would go and finish off Daoist Xuan Yi right under his nose.

Without this corpse, Ji Yongtai could still desperately argue that the letter was a forgery, or even pour sewage on Wang Chen, accusing the latter of deliberately framing him.

But now the sect side would only trust Wang Chuan who had accomplished his mission.

And this Town Guard Envoy couldn’t figure out how Wang Chuan had managed to do this no matter what.

It was at this time that cries came from the direction of the backyard.

At this moment, the Northwatch City Town Guard Mansion had already been completely controlled by the people brought by Li Feiyuan.

The few who resisted had also turned into corpses on the ground!

“Ji Yongtai!”

Li Feiyuan shouted, “What else do you have to say in your defense?”

Ji Yongtai’s face was as gray as death, there was no longer any chance of getting away with it, and he disheveledly knelt on the ground, “Disciple confessed to the crime, I only ask that Your Excellency spare my family’s wives, they are innocent.”

Ji Yongtai had long since landed in Northwatch City, married multiple wives and concubines, and had several children.

He knew very well that he would not be able to carry out the interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Law, and the consequences would only be more serious compared to confessing to the crime now, and would even jeopardize his wife and children.

Li Feiyuan looked at Ji Yongtai kneeling on the ground, his eyes incomparably indifferent: “You only have one chance.”

Ji Yongtai’s head was stuck on the cold floor: “Yes.”
