Chapter 400: Chapter 263 Battle Begins_2 Chapter 400: Chapter 263 Battle Begins_2 A protector laughed cheerfully as he raised a tea cup towards Duanmu Chun.
Though the planning this ti was initiated by a steward below him, the credit was naturally first attributed to Duanmu Chun who was in charge.
In a mont, nearby stewards also raised their glasses to Duanmu Chun.
Seeing this, Duanmu Chun couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and said, “The matter isn’t over yet, it’s too early to celebrate.”
“The overall situation is already decided, how can it be too early?”
A protector sitting further down laughed and spoke.
Other protectors and stewards also looked over.
However.
Almost at that mont, an indifferent voice suddenly ca from behind the crowd, “Oh, what’s this about the situation being decided?
...
I’d like to hear more.”
This discordant voice fell into the ears of many protectors and stewards present, causing everyone to be stunned, then all heads turned in unison to see that behind the crowd, at the place where the ledgers were being arranged, a figure had appeared unknowingly, facing away from the crowd, casually flipping through a stack of ledgers.
The atmosphere in the room paused for a mont.
“Who?!”
“How did you get in?”
The closest few stewards of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, seeing the stranger’s unfamiliar attire, instinctively shouted questions.
Uncertainty also surged.
This was the main building of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, not even Mysterious chanism Pavilion’s Inner Sect Disciples were allowed here without permission.
How did this person suddenly appear here?
However.
The stewards who had just vocally reprimanded him saw the figure holding the ledgers slowly turn his head to reveal a young, unfamiliar face.
His indifferent gaze swept across the room, leaving a trail of icy chill wherever it went, making everyone’s spine feel cool.
At this point, soone directly recognized the newcor, his eyes widening in shock.
“You…you are…
”
Although there were no specific portraits in the New Talent Catalog or the Wind Cloud List, the Mysterious chanism Pavilion’s intelligence was strong, and there were definitely circulated personal appearances of those on the Wind Cloud List internally.
Even if not seen before, so could recognize his identity at a glance.
The person in the commoner’s robe and young face was instantly recognized by many.
Number one in the New Talent Catalog of the Cold North Path.
Number twenty-seven on the Wind Cloud List—’Qiankun Blade’ Chen Mu!
This was the central Mysterious chanism Building of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion’s headquarters.
How had Chen Mu appeared here so silently, without any noise from outside, and even among the people present, not a single person had detected him beforehand!
Smack.
Chen Mu gently put down the ledger in his hand back on the stack, then turned his gaze towards the many stewards and protectors of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, and spoke in a flat tone, “Causing chaos in Yu State, stealing money and resources, resorting to such despicable ans, is this what you call a settled situation for the supposedly prestigious Mysterious chanism Pavilion?”
The entire room felt oppressive, and so stewards looked at Chen Mu with horror in their eyes, their foreheads also showing beads of cold sweat.
Let alone the prowess of soone ranked on the Wind Cloud List, Chen Mu’s ability to appear here so stealthily was truly terrifying.
It was almost as if he were from the Blood Hidden Pavilion, capable of assassination without them even knowing how they died!
However.
Although they were utterly shocked, so, amidst their nervousness, narrowed their gaze slightly, a cold light flashing in their eyes.
After all, while Chen Mu’s thod was shocking, daring to show up openly in the territory of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion was still too audacious.
Even if he were a high-ranking fighter from the Wind Cloud List, not to ntion being affected by Demonic Qi, even in his pri, daring to step alone into the depths of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, did he really think this was a place one could just co and go as they pleased?!
“The Da Xuan Dynasty Court is in decline, and conflicts abound everywhere.
Even the Eleven State of the Cold North Path is constantly at war.
In such tis, only by uniting Cold North can the chaos be settled and millions of commoners can be relieved.
The Seven Profound Sect controls one state and governs a region.
It appears to calm one corner of the land but in reality, it is the root of the turmoil.
The Mysterious chanism Pavilion upholds the Heavenly Mandate and executes natural justice, how is it not righteous?”
A protector stared at Chen Mu and slowly said.
Duanmu Chun slowly stood up, looking at Chen Mu distantly and said lightly, “In extraordinary tis, extraordinary asures are needed.
What do you know?
But since you have co here alone, it’s just as well.
Just stay at the Mysterious chanism Pavilion.”
…
Outside.
Outside the residence of the Mysterious chanism Pavilion, the spacious streets were bustling with people, and the markets were lively.
After the four Sects entered Yu County several years ago, the situation in Yu County did not beco more chaotic but rather, the previously chaotic layers settled quite a bit.
After all, there were many more ‘capable young Sect Disciples who eradicated evil’, and those notorious gangs that once dominated were now keeping their heads low.
“Have you heard?
Lord Chen seems to have returned to Yu County.”
“Lord Chen?
Which Lord Chen?”
“Who else could it be…
I told you years ago that Lord Chen, once he ets an opportunity, he transforms into a dragon.
Now in just a few short years, he has beco a high-ranking figure on the Wind Cloud List, on par with Inspector YÃ n.”
In the tavern of the market, so guests in long robes were drinking wine, quietly discussing among themselves.
“When did Lord Chen co back?
I had no idea.
Speaking of which, a distant nephew of mine once worked under Lord Chen, back when Lord Chen was just a minor official in the Outer City.”
Soone said with a sentintal expression.
“With Lord Chen’s current status, coming back to Yu County is probably just to visit his family.
If I didn’t have soone working in the Inspectorate, I probably wouldn’t know about it either.
He likely won’t stay long.”
