Xu Qing mumbled. After making the decision, he stepped onto the magic boat and entered his cultivation room. He then sat cross-legged on a mat and closed his eyes to cultivate.
The sea breeze blew for the entire night. In the early morning, it gradually dissipated like it was exhausted. As the sunlight fell, Xu Qing opened his eyes and began his day of work.
After the operation to search for Night Dove was over, the work of the Homicide Departnt was very idle most of the ti. Only occasionally would the Patrol Departnt apply for assistance when there was sothing they couldn't handle.
For example, today, when Xu Qing had just arrived at the Homicide Departnt and reported for duty in Black Team Six's courtyard, they received an application for assistance from the Patrol Departnt.
Not many people were dispatched. Including the captain, there were a total of six people.
After they walked out of the division, Xu Qing and the other team mbers also found out that the target of this mission was the Dispatch Team after the captain's introduction.
The Dispatch Departnt and the Pilotage Departnt were considered to be major forces in the entire port area. The forr was in charge of arranging the transportation of the ships, while the latter was like the arm of the dispatcher, responsible for guiding the ships from the outside world into the harbor.
Therefore, they had branches in every port. The location for the task was Port 96.
Recently, there had been an intense conflict between the Pilotage Departnt and Dispatch Departnt branches in Port 96. Right now, over a hundred people from the Pilotage Departnt were gathered in the Dispatch Departnt. They seed to be in a standoff, so the Dispatch Departnt reported to the Patrol Departnt to diate. The Patrol Departnt felt that it was troubleso, so they applied for the help of the Homicide Departnt.
After hearing the mission introduction from the captain, one of the team mbers spoke with a mocking expression.
"The main point of the contradiction seems to be the additional reward that should have been given to Port 96's Pilotage Departnt branch this month. Port 96's Dispatch Departnt only gave 10% of what it used to be. No one would agree to this."
"Other than their daily pay, Pilotage disciples often helped out the Dispatch Departnt. As inco from the dispatches was a lot more, the Dispatch Departnt had to give additional bonus to Pilotage on ti."
When Xu Qing heard this, he roughly understood what had happened.
"This matter was caused by Port 96's Dispatch branch. So ti ago, the person-in-charge was changed. It is that core disciple, Zhao Zhongheng."
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"As soon as this core disciple took the post, he forcefully changed the rules. It's said that the bonus given to the Pilotage Departnt every month went from a 50-50 ratio to a 90-10 ratio. This is the reason the Pilotage Departnt's disciples are enraged."
As Xu Qing listened to everyone's discussion, he fell into deep thought. The group of them arrived at the Dispatch Departnt of Port 96. From afar, the design of the Dispatch Departnt looked like a sail laid out on the ground. There were many buildings of various sizes, and there were many magic boats parked at the side.
At this mont, more than a hundred people had blocked the entrance of the Dispatch Departnt and were confronting the Dispatch Departnt's disciples. The sounds of quarrels rang out incessantly, and the hostility between them grew increasingly intense. There were even more disciples spectating from the surroundings.
There were also disciples from the Patrol Departnt diating the situation. However, both sides refused to back down, so it was extrely difficult to diate.
With just a small spark, it was very likely that the two sides would directly fight in this tense atmosphere.
So, when they saw the arrival of the Homicide Departnt, the Patrol Departnt's disciples all heaved a sigh of relief. The spectators outside also made way for the Homicide Departnt.
The captain, who was eating an apple, didn't look at the two parties who were at daggers drawn and the Patrol Departnt who was struggling to diate. Instead, he found a corner not far away and sat down to watch the show.
The mission of the Homicide Departnt was to quell the commotion after both sides started fighting. Since they hadn't started fighting yet, there was no need to bother about it.
The other team mbers were the sa. Xu Qing followed everyone and sat down as well. After his gaze swept past both parties, he didn't see Zhao Zhongheng, but he saw a familiar face.
This person stood at the very front of the group from the Pilotage Departnt. He was a little fatty.
It was Huang Yan who had generously given him the spirit condensation leaves in the dicinal shop that day.
"Bastards from the Dispatch Departnt, you're cutting off the path of survival for us Pilotage Departnt's disciples. Without that bonus, the speed of our cultivation and refining of our boats will slow down. How are we supposed to survive in this city that is filled with danger? You are trying to kill us by doing this. Since we'll die no matter what, we'll kill you first!"
Huang Yan seed to be the representative of Port 96's Pilotage disciples. Although he was wearing a gray robe, he held his head high and puffed out his chest. He didn't look anxious at all, and his expression even had ferocity. His voice was sharp, and his face was red as he shouted.
The cultivator standing in front of him at the entrance of the Dispatch Departnt was a middle-aged man. This person was also wearing a gray Daoist robe. He wasn't a Dispatch mber of Port 96 but Zhao Zhongheng's retainer.
This matter was suggested by Zhao Zhongheng. Now that there was a problem with the other party's identity, he naturally wouldn't co out personally to resolve it. Hence, he arranged for his retainer to co and handle it.
At this mont, the middle-aged cultivator's eyes revealed a cold glint, and there was even a deep sense of displeasure. He had followed Zhao Zhongheng for a very long ti. Although he was a retainer, most of the piedmont disciples would greet him with respect. He had also seen many other core disciples, so he had long forgotten his identity. He didn't care much about these gray-robed disciples.
This was especially so since he knew that it was impossible for his master to change the rules. So, he put on a strong front.
"Scram within the next 30 minutes if you don't want to die!"
As soon as he spoke, killing intent filled the air among the Pilotage Departnt's disciples. When the people from the Dispatch Departnt saw this, their eyes glead coldly.
The disciples of various departnts in the Seven Blood Eyes' main city, who had fought their way out of the wolf's den and didn't rely on others to gain a foothold, were no strangers to slaughter.
"You want us to scram? F*ck you!" Huang Yan glared and directly charged over. He was heavy but very fast. His movents caused explosive sounds.
At the next mont, the disciples of both departnts who had long been in a tense atmosphere started fighting at the entrance.
Rumbling sounds echoed out, and spell fluctuations spread in all directions. The chaotic battle between hundreds of people directly unfolded before Xu Qing's eyes. Blood splattered everywhere along with mournful cries.
The Patrol Departnt in charge of diation retreated one after another. As for Xu Qing and the others, they remained seated.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain at the side. The captain was eating an apple and seed very interested in the chaotic battle ahead. He would even cheer occasionally.
"There are too many of them, and it'll be a little dangerous if we ddle now. We'll wait until they are mostly killed before we go and calm them down. Besides, the sect doesn't want to see two departnts fighting each other. There's a high chance that they'll step out to stop it."
After the captain cheered, he whispered to his team mbers.
Casualties had already appeared on both sides of the chaotic battle. Amidst the roars and explosions that grew even more intense, Xu Qing saw that Huang Yan, who was in the crowd, was attacking crazily with bloodshot eyes. His cultivation base was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, allowing his explosive strength to possess a very strong lethality.
And at this mont, Xu Qing saw that among the people from the Dispatch Departnt, the middle-aged man who was confronting Huang Yan earlier was rapidly retreating. The gaze he used to look at Huang Yan was filled with malice. Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Yan was not on guard, he waved his hand, and a lancet knife instantly flew out from his sleeve.
The material of this knife was special. It was sowhat transparent and extrely fast. There was a faint blue glow on it like it was sared with poison as it flew toward Huang Yan's neck.
Huang Yan was in the midst of the chaotic battle and didn't notice the knife imdiately. Seeing that the knife was about to reach Huang Yan, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and flicked his right hand lightly. A drop of water instantly ford out of thin air and flew out at an astonishing speed, landing directly on the lancet knife.
The force of the water droplet was extrely great. With a bang, the throwing knife deviated in its direction and flew past Huang Yan.
Huang Yan's expression changed. He first looked at Xu Qing and nodded. After that, his malevolent gaze landed on the middle-aged cultivator as he let out a low roar and charged over.
"Damn it!" The middle-aged cultivator imdiately retreated, but it was still too late. Huang Yan caught up to him with a few leaps and ruthlessly slamd into him.
The cracking sounds were drowned out by the chaotic battle in the surroundings. One could only see the distorted expression of the middle-aged cultivator as he quickly counterattacked.
The chaotic battle continued with even more casualties.
The captain at the side cast a glance at Xu Qing with a spurious smile.
Xu Qing didn't say anything and retracted his gaze from Huang Yan. The reason why he interfered was because Huang Yan had generously given him spirit condensation leaves before.
Very soon, as the battle between the two branches beca increasingly intense, a low bellow rang out from afar like thunder.
"All of you, stop!"
Amidst the sound, a figure approached from afar while stepping on the air. A powerful and terrifying aura descended from the sky, suppressing the surroundings, causing all the disciples on the ground to be ntally shaken and stop fighting.
"It's ti to work," the captain said in a low voice. He then stood up and assud the appearance of a law enforcer with a solemn expression. Xu Qing and the other team mbers also stood up.
The instant they stood up, the figure in the sky rapidly closed in and stopped in mid-air, transforming into a youth wearing a dark purple Daoist robe.
This youth didn't have an outstanding appearance, and his expression didn't fluctuate much. However, the aura he emitted was astonishing. He stood in the air and coldly looked at the disciples from both sides who had stopped fighting.
