Capítulo 1394: Chapter 1379: Havoc in the West Patrol
In almost an instant, the thirteen subordinates of the West Patrol Office present, including the Junior Director from the Inner Affairs Bureau, all launched their most fierce attacks towards Ye Zhen.
It should be known that among these thirteen subordinates of the West Patrol Office, the lowest cultivation level is the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, and there is only one person at that level.
The others are all martial artists at the Early or Mid-stage of the Dark Palace Realm, and being subordinates of the West Patrol Office, besides having decent abilities, their cultivation combat power is definitely not bad, if not outstanding.
The sole purpose of these thirteen subordinates of the West Patrol Office launching a full-scale attack on Ye Zhen is to take him down!
In an instant, Ye Zhen reacted.
The bottom line of these West Patrol Office guys is even lower than he imagined, more despicable than he imagined, just to eliminate him!
Moreover, this was definitely premeditated!
Ye Zhen estimated that before he even arrived, the West Patrol Office had planned many times.
Although Ma Wanjin had already reminded him before, Ye Zhen did not take it seriously, overlooking the shamelessness of the West Patrol Office in the valley.
Now thinking back, as long as they eliminate Ye Zhen, as for the cause and result, is that not written by the victors?
By then, accusing Ye Zhen of disrespecting superiors, roaring in court, and so on, witnesses can be easily fabricated!
The moment he realized this, Ye Zhen instantly understood that he was at an incredibly dangerous juncture.
A slight mistake in response at this time might lead to his death without a burial place.
In an instant, Ye Zhen’s mind turned rapidly.
The experiences from past dangerous moments in life and death crises provided Ye Zhen with the greatest help at this moment.
Almost instinctively, the small, adorable golden lantern emerged from Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, floating above his head. However, the aura it emitted was completely different from its appearance.
The ferocious and violent aura contained within, at the moment it appeared, even the always composed Chii Jingshan, who half-closed his eyes, was startled.
This is nothing else but a Low Grade Suppressing Artifact, the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp, which Ye Zhen refined using the precious Thunder Fire Jade Marrow obtained in the Demon Clan Territory. It can exert the full power of Ye Zhen’s Thunder Spirit Fire.
Moreover, this was the first time Ye Zhen displayed his true strength in front of others.
Almost the moment the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp floated above Ye Zhen’s head, a circle of purple flames with dense Thunder Light burst out from Ye Zhen’s body.
With the emergence of the flame, the terrifying high temperature of the Thunder Spirit Fire instantly triggered the Guardian Formation within the entire West Patrol Office. Visibly, everything inside the West Patrol Office without the protection of the Guardian Formation, including the table in front of Chii Jingshan, the chair under him, was reduced to ashes in an instant.
Even caught off guard, Chii Jingshan’s official robe and hair were reduced to ashes in that instant because he did not channel Spiritual Power for protection.
As Chii Jingshan’s exclamation sounded, the attack of the thirteen subordinates of the West Patrol Office surged into the circle of Protective Fire Shield purely condensed by Thunder Spirit Fire around Ye Zhen.
The power of the Thunder Spirit Fire, which even the Demon Clan in the Second Stage of Dark Palace Realm, known for its defense, couldn’t resist, not to mention Ye Zhen at that moment using the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp to its fullest extent.
Except for a Sword Gang and two Sword Energies, other attacks were instantly extinguished upon entering the Protective Fire Shield purely formed by the Thunder Spirit Fire.
This is the advantage of a powerful cultivation technique. Though Ye Zhen’s cultivation is only at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Dao Entrance, the power he cultivates far exceeds the strength of ordinary martial artists in the Dark Palace Realm.
It’s like a duel between a robust adult wielding a wooden sword and wooden armor and a youth wielding a Steel Blade and wearing Steel Armor; even if the adult has the advantage in strength, in the face of the disparity in weapon quality, defeat is the only outcome.
In this advantageous situation, even the two Sword Gangs and Sword Energies were greatly weakened; in this critical moment, Ye Zhen relied on them to strike against the Black Dragon Tyrant Body.
Because in this critical moment, Ye Zhen had to do something to change the situation and the current passive status.
Otherwise, no matter how strong Ye Zhen’s power attributes are, he wouldn’t be able to rampage in the West Patrol’s stronghold for long!
Almost at the same moment, the Thunder Fire Golden Lamp above Ye Zhen’s head suddenly shone brightly, and a Fire Dragon spewed out to the left.
In an instant, screams sounded shrilly.
The power of the Thunder Spirit Fire was extremely terrifying. The Chief of the Inner Affairs Bureau, chosen as Ye Zhen’s first target, immediately let out a scream, his lower body directly turned to ashes.
This was because Ye Zhen held back slightly; otherwise, this Deputy Director would absolutely have been burned to death by Ye Zhen on the spot.
Actually, Ye Zhen also wanted to go on a killing spree, but doing so would instantly turn the situation into a fight to the death, whether Ye Zhen could leave the West Patrol Office alive would be uncertain.
Those truly guarding the West Patrol Office are not these officials in front of him but other experts!
The screams of the Chief of the Inner Affairs Bureau immediately filled the remaining twelve officials of the West Patrol Office with extreme terror, as Ye Zhen’s palm formed Fire Dragon composed entirely of Thunder Spirit Fire circled around, causing them to retreat in shock.
“High Grade Spirit Fire!”
With these officials retreating in panic, the crisis Ye Zhen was currently facing was just beginning.
The West Patrol Office’s official, Chii Jingshan, who emanated a terrifying aura of the Realm King Realm, had already roared in fury, “Ye Zhen, what are you intending to do? Killing a superior officer without authorization, are you rebelling?”
Chii Jingshan’s roar was immense, deliberately spreading across the entire West Patrol Office almost instantly.
A deep sense of danger flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind.
Ye Zhen understood that this was Chii Jingshan’s scheme, declaring Ye Zhen’s crimes to the entire West Patrol Office.
Soon, the West Patrol Office would strive to eliminate Ye Zhen completely.
As long as they eliminate Ye Zhen, then pin a charge of assaulting a superior on him, the plan would be nearly perfect!
Chii Jingshan’s calculation was indeed perfect, but Ye Zhen was not foolish.
Before coming here, Ye Zhen was very clear that barging into the West Patrol Office like this would be no different from courting death.
If Ye Zhen didn’t have some leverage, he wouldn’t dare come to this West Patrol Office!
“Rebellion? I think the ones plotting rebellion are you from the West Patrol Office! Here is the imperial decree, why do you not receive it!”
Surrounded by the protection of Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, Ye Zhen’s left hand suddenly raised a scroll made of Seven-Colored Silk Cloth high above.
Instantly, the unique and heavy national prestige blessed by the National Guardian Qiankun Seal and the incomparable and intense Primordial Aura, centered around the imperial decree, radiated in all directions, causing all the experts charging at him from the West Patrol to shiver.
The Great Zhou’s imperial decrees should be notably identifiable and nearly impossible to counterfeit.
Although the Seven-Colored Silk Cloth used to make the decree was rare, it was not hard to obtain; however, the aura from the National Guardian Qiankun Seal, a supreme treasure infused with the nation’s fortune and countless Primordial Force, was beyond imitation.
Thus, as soon as the decree appeared, all the martial artists and officials present knew that this decree was real!
A hint of hesitation mixed with fear flickered in Chii Jingshan’s eyes.
The authority of the imperial decree wasn’t to be underestimated.
As a confidant of Xio Qiangu from the West Patrol, and a core member of the Xio Family, Chii Jingshan was well aware of the current relationship between the Xio Family and the Great Zhou Empire.
Even with the hidden rivalry and the support from the Heavenly Temple, the facade of decorum had to be maintained.
Whether it was the Heavenly Temple or the Ancestor God Temple, the empire they supported and recognized was only one — Great Zhou.
If they dared to openly break this decorum, they would be personally shattering the foundation of the Heavenly Temple’s support, which is called political correctness!
In an instant, Chii Jingshan hesitated.
And in that brief moment, Ye Zhen’s explosive shout rang again, “The imperial decree is here, do you still not receive it? Do you wish to commit the grave crime of rebellion that would lead to extermination of nine generations and ruin of family?”
Ye Zhen’s shout, imbued with the power of Thunderclap, exploded into the ears of all the martial artists present like a divine thunder, giving them a jolt as if struck.
Chii Jingshan was also jolted.
But the jolt brought him to realization; political correctness was mandatory. No one had dared to openly defy the imperial decree of the Holy Son of Heaven, Great Zhou, thus far.
Not only would he not defy it, but even disrespecting the decree of the Holy Son of Heaven, Great Zhou, would render him unwelcome throughout the Great Zhou, and not even the Heavenly Temple behind the Xio Family could protect him.
Understanding this, Chii Jingshan knelt on the spot, bowing down to the decree high in Ye Zhen’s hand.
Following Chii Jingshan’s kneeling, all the officials, experts, and guards of the West Patrol Office knelt down facing Ye Zhen’s decree.
Those who mixed in such circles were seldom fools.
Moreover, aside from core members like Chii Jingshan of the Xio Family, for the other members of the West Patrol Office, the decree of the Holy Son of Heaven was supreme.
They belonged to the West Patrol Office, but they belonged even more to Great Zhou, and were subjects under the Holy Son of Heaven.
Chii Jingshan was even more aware of this, hence his unwilling surrender.
In front of so many subordinates, if he dared to disregard the decree of the Holy Son of Heaven, it would be no different from publicly declaring rebellion.
Without someone like Xio Qiangu holding down the fort, the members of the West Patrol might first seize him as a suspect of rebellion and exiled him to Luoyi.
In an instant, the entire West Patrol Office, somewhat disheveled by Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire, knelt down, becoming extremely quiet.
But with just a glance around, cold sweat beaded on Ye Zhen’s forehead.
Moments ago, it was truly a line between life and death!
The number of West Patrol Office members kneeling around because of the decree and the aura they emitted were truly terrifying!
