Chapter 378: 204: Reactions from Various Parties_3

Such a major incident had occurred in the local area, and it must be dealt with, whether it was for the sake of the government’s dignity or to give an explanation to the Liuyang Sect.

Feng Bo pondered for a moment and said, “Send Wang Criminal Punishment Envoy to handle the investigation.”

As the head of criminal prosecution in a prefecture, the Criminal Punishment Envoy was responsible for handling any major case. At this time, with so many deaths in Lu Ling Prefecture, it was reasonable for the Criminal Punishment Envoy to conduct the investigation.

The staff member immediately replied, “I will inform him right away.”

“Wait.” Feng Bo stopped him and instructed, “Tell him to only investigate the case, and only look for those criminals who committed the heinous crime. These criminals are extremely vicious, and they have nothing to do with the national masters and generals of the court. Do you understand?”

The staff member nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Sir, I understand.”

Feng Bo nodded, “Go ahead.”

The staff member quickly left, leaving Feng Bo alone in the garden.

Feng Bo paced back and forth on the ground for a few rounds before returning to his recliner. Unable to bear the headache, he rubbed his temples and cursed, “Damn, I don’t know who did this, but they’ve caused me so much trouble for nothing.”

“Since the Iron Sword Sect has been wiped out, the Liuyang Sect must seek an explanation. How am I supposed to appease them?”

“If I find out who did it, I’ll report it to the court in secret and have them reprimanded.”

“In such a turbulent world, why not cause more trouble and wipe out sects? Do they think the court is not chaotic enough?”

Indeed, just as the staff member had said, Feng Bo was convinced in his heart that it was one of the National Masters or Generals from the court who had taken action.

However, even if he knew the truth now,

As both sides were important court officials, he, as a local governor, couldn’t possibly help the Liuyang Sect arrest the National Masters or Generals, right?

Not to mention whether he could catch them, even if he could, he wouldn’t dare to engage in such in-fighting!

So now, he could only help his troubled colleagues and clean up the mess for them.

He could only try to deceive the Liuyang Sect for the time being.

Sigh.

Why is it that in such an eventful autumn, there are nothing but annoying things happening?

The frustrated Prefect Feng, who had no entertainment to distract him, was filled with anger.

Nine Waters Lotus Flower Area.

This was a place where nine streams of water converged, located within the vast Pengli Lake district. Due to the abundant lotus flowers in the lake, it was also known as Lotus Flower Area.

Of course, this was only what the local people or the scholars and writers who passed by called it.

In the Jianghu, this place had an even more resounding name: Liuyang Sect.

Yes.

The headquarters of the Liuyang Sect, the number one sect in the martial world of Yue Country, was situated within the Nine Waters Lotus Flower Area.

Today, a knight hurrying from the south arrived quickly at the lakeside pier. He then presented a letter marked urgent, and a speedboat swiftly picked it up and sent it back to the Liuyang Sect headquarters deep within the lake.

A few moments later, the letter arrived in the hands of Yin Huixuan, the current Sect Leader of the Liuyang Sect.

At this time, Yin Huixuan was playing chess with his fellow disciples in the Lotus Lake Pavilion.

Upon receiving the urgent letter from the disciple, he opened it and read it, the usually gentle Sect Leader Yin suddenly flew into a rage, slamming the table and shouting, “This is outrageous!”

This sudden outburst startled the disciple beside him.

Not caring about the disrupted chess game, he hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother, what happened?”

“See for yourself.” Yin Huixuan pushed the letter forward, placing it in his disciple’s hands.

After the disciple had finished reading it, he couldn’t help but slap the table and exclaim, “This is preposterous!”

He then looked up at his Head Brother and said anxiously, “Senior Brother, this is a provocation against our Liuyang Sect. By wiping out the Iron Sword Sect, they have destroyed our sect’s southern gate in Yuzhang Prefecture.

This act is almost akin to declaring war on our Liuyang Sect.

We must not tolerate this.”

Yin Huixuan raised his hand, and with his anger subsiding considerably, his tone turned chilling, “The Iron Sword Sect has experienced internal strife and has declined in recent years, but it still has thousands of disciples, and Ding Xihua has already reached the first-class level.

Those who could wipe out the entire Iron Sword Sect overnight within their sect could not be ordinary Jianghu first-class sects.”

Furthermore, the fact that they were able to eliminate the remnants of the Iron Sword Sect in just a few days further confirmed this point.

Those who took action this time are either Innate Great Sects or those Coastal Aristocratic Families.”

Upon hearing this, the disciple’s anger subsided, and he furrowed his brows, saying, “Now that the Yue State court is recruiting Jianghu Grandmasters and implementing the Ten Great Grandmasters Project, awarding fiefdoms to them,

If it is the Innate Sects that took action, since they are backed by the court, we will have to face the court if we want to seek justice.

If it is the Coastal Aristocratic Families that took action, then it is undoubtedly tantamount to taking action against the court.”

He then looked up at his Senior Brother, worry evident in his voice, “Senior Brother, could this be the court’s retaliation for our previous refusal of their invitation?”

Two years ago, when the court had just initiated the Ten Great Grandmasters Project, they had approached the Liuyang Sect.

However, they were refused outright.

Afterward, the court did not send anyone to pester them again, thinking the matter was settled.

But now, it seemed that they had been too presumptuous.

“It is a possibility,” Yin Huixuan replied darkly, nodding, “If it is indeed the work of the court, then our Liuyang Sect is facing an unprecedented crisis in its history.”

Now that the court’s Ten Great Grandmasters Project has been completed, the top combat power is more abundant than ever before.

Although the Liuyang Sect had Yin Huixuan, an Inborn Second Realm master, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart when facing the ten Inborn Grandmasters.

If the court really wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Liuyang Sect,

He couldn’t think of any good way to escape the calamity, no matter how hard he tried.

“This matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated.”

The disciple beside him also realized this, and immediately stood up, saying, “I will go to Lu Ling Prefecture right away to get to the bottom of this matter.
