CHAPTER 708: CHAPTER 610: KILL KILL KILL_2

At this moment, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, his eyelids twitching slightly, with a hint of a smile, "It seems that the person in charge here has arrived. Perhaps we can find out by asking him."

Xu Shaoqing and Gou Yue stopped speaking, turned and looked up, their expressions becoming more serious.

Soon, a streak of light descended from the sky, shaking the air and causing the dust of heaven and earth to settle.

The light converged, landing in front of Chen Yuan and the others.

The armored Dragon and Tiger shrank to the size of an ordinary person, with a commanding gaze that first fell upon Chen Yuan.

"I am Mu Yuntian, the local general and Demon Suppression General. You all were hard to find!"

"Are you the renowned Ninth Mountain’s Colonel of Shu?"

Mu Yuntian’s face was expressionless, his voice rumbling like thunder, his piercing gaze scrutinizing Chen Yuan without reservation.

"I have met General Mu!"

Chen Yuan’s eyes did not waver, glinting with golden light, as he adjusted his grip on his chair.

It seemed his guess was correct. Judging by the thunderous power displayed earlier and the presence of the Big Seal, this person’s identity was as clear as day.

Such a Sealing Border Official, who governs a vast territory, undoubtedly possesses mightier Divine Skills compared to ordinary Dragon-Tigers. Otherwise, how could he suppress all forces? Moreover, with the Imperial Decree’s empowerment, his strength is unfathomable.

He even speculated which was stronger between such a Sealing Border Official and the Three Dao Patrol Angels, but without a duel, neither could know the other’s cards.

As he scrutinized Mu Yuntian, the general also sized him up, secretly amazed.

Reputation does not come from nowhere; this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel of Shu truly possesses mighty Divine Skills, managing to counter even a trio of Dragon-Tigers.

If not for my timely arrival, Qian Yunzi might have escaped, but that can be overlooked.

Honestly, he disliked intervening in such Dragon-Tiger skirmishes; Qian Yunzi’s death brought difficulties on how to handle Taibai Cave Heaven, especially since it was now the special period of the once-in-sixty-years Luotian Grand Sacrifice. Yet those people overstepped, breaking the Heavenly Rules within the prefecture.

They must be killed to set an example!

Dragon-Tigers wield immense power, capable of citywide devastation easily. Setting a precedent would result in chaos.

Previously, he turned a blind eye to this otherworldly practitioner, but recently Qian Yunzi went too far!

At this moment, Xu Shaoqing and Gou Yue also paid their respects to the Sealing Border Official, briefly announcing their names.

Mu Yuntian’s imposing aura subsided slightly, though his voice remained heavy. He wished to avoid trouble, refraining from antagonizing the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel or showing excessive friendliness.

"Regarding you three, I have received a court notification. Had it not been for the Bailong Pond incident a few days ago, I wouldn’t have known you entered my jurisdiction. I dispatched men to find you, and my Tiger Talisman sensed the intense disturbance in this land, thus I traversed the void just in time for the finale."

"I now understand the situation; today’s incident cannot be blamed on you, but given the current special circumstances, for safety, I will accompany you three out of Qin!"

His words, reasonable and considerate, left no room for criticism. In truth, he wished to swiftly escort the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel out of Qin.

This individual just caused such a massive conflict; who knows what might happen if they lingered here a little longer.

As a local general, he only desired stability within his domain, avoiding any unnecessary trouble, that’s all.

However, saying these words with a stiff face prevented any further critique.

Chen Yuan, Xu Shaoqing, and the others discerned some undertones from the general’s words.

Yet they did not dissect it.

All were notable figures.

Chen Yuan wasn’t bothered by the general’s distant politeness; he only cared about his own objectives.

"I understand General Mu’s intentions, but there’s one thing I can’t comprehend today. The backgrounds of the remaining two Dragon-Tigers are unknown. Without clarification, I can’t sleep soundly."

"I saw you apprehended two individuals. Could you hand them over to me?"

His words carried a hint of fierceness, his brow arching slightly.

The general furrowed his brow upon hearing this, his eyes momentarily flickering, his tone softening slightly.

"The detrimental impact of today’s battle requires thorough investigation. These two must be scrutinized thoroughly by me."

"Please do not make things difficult for me, Colonel Chen."

Mu Yuntian’s words were tactful, indicating willingness to concede a favor to Chen Yuan, not intending to escalate the situation.

He, too, harbored doubts and desired clarity on the identities of these Dragon-Tiger projections, daring to defy the Court’s ban and act with Qian Yunzi within the prefecture.

Old monsters of the worldly society, though generally unrestrained, are not usually foolish enough to openly challenge the Court’s decrees.

He suspected the involvement of court figures previously urging him to trouble Chen Yuan.

Thus his words aimed to de-escalate and avoid entangling himself in the conflict.

Chen Yuan listened, his eyes reflecting thought.

Given Mu Yuntian’s stance, persisting would disrespect the Sealing Border Official.

No need for that!

The Three Qin Lands neighbor Shu and are crucial for accessing the Central Plains; future interactions might occur.

"Since this is under General Mu’s jurisdiction, saying more would be overstepping!"

"What are General Mu’s arrangements for us three?"

Mu Yuntian saw Chen Yuan let the matter go, internally elevating his regard for the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel. If Chen Yuan had insisted, resolving the situation would have been challenging.

A battle between the two couldn’t be the solution.

Clearly, Chen Yuan also comprehended the situation.

His expression improved, his voice losing its previous heaviness.

"After the battle, rest for a night at Baoqing Prefecture Office. Meanwhile, I need to clean up and restore the aftermath here. We will discuss your departure tomorrow!"

This time, he avoided referring to himself formally, indicating a subtle shift in attitude reflecting his emotions.

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Please proceed!"

.....

Baoqing Prefecture Office,

The Lord of Baoqing Prefecture and the prefecture’s Prefect stood in the main hall, bowing their heads, barely daring to breathe.

The recent great battle lingered in their minds, leaving them with lingering fears.

The succession of Dragon-Tigers engaging in intense battles created earth-shattering scenes that shook the entire prefecture.

If that power had struck the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, those who minutes ago called the wind and summoned the rain outside the city stood before them, causing immense pressure as if they were mere minions.

Among them was the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, General Chen, from the land of Shu, who guarded the border against demons, instilling fear in their hearts.

The General of the Taichang Temple, Junior Minister Xu Shaoqing, and Gou Inspection Envoy of the Three Road Inspection Envoy!

"I still need to inspect the situation outside the city," said the Patrol Angel.

At a loss for names, Mu Yuntian addressed Prefect Li Xun, "You there, what’s your name?"

"This official is Li Xun!" Li Xun quickly replied.

"Alright. You will be responsible for accommodating General Chen. Do not neglect this duty!" Mu Yuntian nodded, his gaze sharp.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Xun quickly responded.

"Very well. Gentlemen, follow me to the backyard!"

Mu Yuntian added, "Coincidentally, someone else is here, right in your residence!"
