Chapter 538: Chapter 87 Pill Alliance Crumbles_3
Everything cos from sowhere. Gu Wen was rely standing on the shoulders of giants, gazing over this wild world, which made him seem far-sighted and wise.
“Moreover, I don’t intend to submit this thing myself, but rather leave it to you.”
“Why?”
Jiang Fugui’s face showed confusion, and Gu Wen’s expression softened as he sighed and said, “Only this way can you be completely exonerated, and you can achieve rit despite your guilt. In the future, you’ll be able to do things without being implicated. I’m doing this for you.”
“…”
Jiang Fugui’s eyes reddened instantly. He stood up, knelt on the ground, and knocked his head three tis.
“Mr. Wen! You are my redeer, I… I sob sob sob!”
A middle-aged man knelt on the ground, wailing and unable to express his gratitude clearly.
Chi Yu Zi looked at Gu Wen, thinking this guy was simply incapable of doing anything.
After all, Qingcang always said: “My disciple, with talents to manage the world, as long as he is in power, universal unity will surely be achieved.”
Buzz!
Suddenly the space trembled, and a pristine hand broke through the void, spanning thousands of miles to snatch the jade scroll.
Li Yunshang’s elegant voice, tinged with joy, ca through.
“Dear disciple, you did well, I am very pleased.”
She referred to him as ‘dear disciple’ when there was sothing to ask, and ‘rebellious disciple’ when there wasn’t.
Gu Wen tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking that one day when his strength allows, he must show his master sothing in return.
Otherwise, he would be unworthy as a rebellious disciple.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of knocking ca, and Yuan Cheng’s steady voice ca from outside.
“Disciple Yuan Cheng requests to see Yuqing Heaven Venerate.”
“Enter.”
Yuan Cheng walked in, a flash of surprise in his eyes at the sight of Jiang Fugui, and ticulously began his report.
Using low-quality spirit stones as units, the deficit in Danding City amounted to one billion spirit stones.
“According to the law, the City Lord of Danding City and the high-ranking officials should be arrested and awaited for trial.”
Gu Wen asked, “If they are all arrested, who will govern Danqing State?”
“This junior will dispatch officials from other places.”
“How long will that take?”
“At most three years, at least half a year.”
“What if chaos breaks out without managent for such a long ti? If the functions of the City Lord Mansion are paralyzed, who will replace them?”
“Local gentry, aristocratic families, sects.”
Gu Wen rubbed his temples, increasingly relieved that he didn’t accept this ss.
Ti perception is a major issue for cultivators.
“Can it be done within three days?”
“No, the fastest would be three months.”
“Then temporarily appoint local gentry and grassroots officials, as long as they are mortals, and see if mortals managing will cause problems.”
“Yes.”
Yuan Cheng turned to Chi Yu Zi, not bewildered by the other’s minuteness, and said with reverence, “This junior would also like to borrow Chi Venerable’s na to avoid aningless resistance.”
“If they resist, that’s good. I would have a reason to kill them all.”
Chi Yu Zi’s face showed ferocity.
What use would these vermin be kept for?
“Don’t make trouble, we are here to solve problems, not to kill.”
Gu Wen patted her on the head, and the ferocity vanished instantly, replaced by annoyance: “I told you not to touch my head in front of outsiders! I am still Chi Venerable, after all!”
————————————
The next day, in the morning.
The City Lord of Danding City erged from his secluded cave mansion, greeted by a group of Taoist soldiers in black robes, the leader being a disciple of The Three Pure Ones.
“City Lord, please co with us.”
“Alright, but let return to the sect first.”
“Sorry, this is not a request, but an arrest.”
The Taoist soldiers took a step forward. With Nascent Soul cultivation, he was not afraid of soone in the Mahayana realm. This was an opportunity to achieve rit; if the other party resisted, first-class rit was guaranteed.
If he died, he would consider it bad luck. Taking a Mahayana realm great power with him wouldn’t be a loss.
The City Lord of Danding City frowned, initially wanting to react, but then heard a phrase.
“This is the decree of Chi Venerable.”
In an instant, the anger in his heart disappeared, and he said amicably, “I will definitely cooperate with the investigation, let’s talk peacefully, we all serve under the Daoist Sect.”
At the sa ti, people across Danding State were being taken away for investigation by Taoist soldiers. No one dared to resist Chi Venerable’s na.
After all, no one would trade jail ti for the consequences of a beheading.
At that mont, Chi Venerable was cooking for an obscure Daoist.
A dish of Nine Transition Golden Core stew with pig’s trotters; the golden core was bitter, and the pig’s trotters were black.
