Chapter 190: Swift and Resolute Action
There was a smile on Chang Shiro's face, and he bowed his hands towards Qingchen, but there was a hint of treachery in his words.
Qingchen seemed to be aware of Changshiro's presence only at this moment, and then said loudly:
"Oh, isn't this the head of the Chang family? Didn't the housekeeper of the Chang family say that you are sick? You are such a rare visitor."
Changshiro remained calm and responded calmly: "My subordinates are not sensible, it was just a small training accident, nothing serious.
If I don't go out to greet the grand inspector, won't people laugh at me, the Chang family, for being disrespectful of etiquette and not knowing how to treat guests? "
When Qingchen heard this, he didn't say anything more and just led a group of people into the city.
Changshiro was left standing alone, the smile on his face instantly dissipated, replaced by a gloomy look.
After Qingchen and his party gradually faded away, Chang Zhichong, the elder of the Chang family, walked quickly to Chang Shiro's side and whispered:
"Master, this guy is so domineering and menacing. He dared to use a knife as soon as he entered the city. This guy can't be dismissed with just a few spiritual stones."
After a short pause, Chang Zhichong asked angrily, "Should we strike preemptively?"
Chang Shiro took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and waved his hand to signal Chang Zhichong to calm down:
"Don't worry, just play with him."
At this time, Su Zixuan in the team looked at a building in front of her with a look of disbelief on her face:
"Sir, what kind of place is this? Why is it so dilapidated? How can it have the dignity of the Ningxuan Sect's Inspection Envoy's Mansion?"
The building looked like it had been unoccupied for many years, but the previous inspector had only been in office for a few years.
Qingchen didn't seem too surprised by the scene in front of him.
According to the information provided by the Yue family, the former inspector and other Ningxuan Sect disciples had actually been living in the Chang family residence.
The Chang family built a luxurious cave for the former inspector.
There are all kinds of beautiful female cultivators inside, as well as spiritual delicacies, wine pools and meat forests.
There are also a large number of spiritual stones enshrined every year, and the life is extremely luxurious, and it is almost impossible to be too comfortable.
The former inspector had a high-grade spiritual root and had been cultivating within the sect. He was very strictly disciplined by the elders of the sect.
Although his cultivation is not weak, he may not be good at handling government affairs and receiving people.
What's more, Qingchen secretly speculated that this person's ability to resist temptation was probably only average.
"Where are the people?"
Qingchen's eyes wandered in front of the empty inspector's mansion, ignoring Su Zixuan's questions beside him.
It stands to reason that there should be many disciples staying at this inspection envoy's residence. How could it be so deserted with no one coming out to greet it?
You know, Ningxuan Sect has set up inspection offices on every second-level island.
And they are all equipped with disciples who are in the Qi refining period to maintain daily order.
He whispered one word:
"Grasp."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Yuliang and Xu Xiake had already led a group of outer disciples and quickly lined up outside the mansion to wait.
Qingchen held the token and waved it lightly, and the restrictions on the inspection envoy's mansion were easily lifted as if they were a fiction.
Gao Yuliang and others filed in and began to search the house carefully.
However, what is surprising is that in the entire inspectorate,
Unexpectedly, only one monk was found who was practicing hard in seclusion. He was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Under the escort of Gao Yuliang and others, he was taken out without any resistance.
Qingchen looked at the slightly oily-looking seventh-level Qi Refining monk with blazing eyes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
The monk raised his head and saw the purple Ningxuan Sect robe Qingchen was wearing at a glance, and he suddenly understood.
He quickly saluted and replied respectfully:
"See Master, my disciple Deng Ziyue is an outer disciple who is stationed at Xuanchang Island to inspect the envoy's residence."
After a short pause, he continued,
"Although this disciple doesn't know who you are, I would venture to guess that you should be the newly appointed patrol envoy, Uncle Master."
Qingchen nodded, but his expression did not soften:
"Since you know that I am the inspector, why don't you greet me outside the inspector's house? I remember I sent the communication note and handed it to the inspector's house here."
The more Deng Zi heard this, a look of panic appeared on his face:
"Uncle Master, forgive me. Xuanchang Island inspected the envoy's residence and may have received the transmission note, but no one informed the disciples.
Because of this, the disciple went into seclusion to practice and missed the important event of welcoming the inspector! Seek advice from my uncle! "
Qingchen frowned slightly, already having some guesses in his mind. He asked again:
"Where are the other disciples of the Inspector's Office? Why are you the only one here?"
When Deng Ziyue heard this, he was silent for a moment.
When Gao Yuliang saw this, he sternly reprimanded: "How brave! How dare you not reply to the inspector's question?"
Deng Ziyue was frightened by Gao Yuliang's momentum and said quickly: "They... they are in Chang Mansion."
When Qingchen heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He caught an unusual breath from Deng Ziyue's evasive words.
He did not ask any more questions, but took out the patrol token from his waist, handed it to Gao Yuliang, and solemnly ordered:
"Inspector Jun ordered Gao Yuliang to go to Chang's house with the inspection order in hand to arrest a group of Xuanchang Island Inspector's disciples who had neglected their duties.
If there is resistance, shoot without mercy. If the Chang family does not assist you, they will be regarded as accomplices and suspected of collaborating with the enemy! "
After saying this, he turned his eyes to Deng Ziyue, tapped his fingertips, and said, "You will also go with me, and I will make meritorious deeds."
Gao Yuliang took the token with a solemn expression.
He knew that this trip was a heavy responsibility, and he also understood that Qingchen's determination was rock-solid.
Without a moment's hesitation, he led a group of monks and rushed to the Chang family like an arrow from a bow.
And Qingchen walked into the inspector's mansion leisurely.
"Sir, how can you live here? It's too unfair." Su Zixuan said angrily.
Qingchen laughed: "I want to stay like this, but I'm afraid others won't let me do so."
Pan Yuelian was a little confused by Qingchen's words and asked doubtfully:
"Master, then should we live here or not?"
Qingchen smiled slightly and explained: "Yes, but we will never live in so easily."
This is also a "warning" given to him by the Chang family.
If he is a soft persimmon, the Chang family may try to assimilate him like they did to the previous inspector.
Then, he naturally does not need to live in this dilapidated inspector's mansion, but will be received by the Chang family attentively to the mansion.
However, Qingchen is definitely not a soft persimmon, and the Chang family naturally dare not let him live in such a simple place easily.
After all, a Ningxuan Sect inspector was allowed to live in such a dilapidated place.
This was undoubtedly a contempt for the Ningxuan Sect and the twelve inspectors.
In the eyes of your Chang family, do you still have the twelve inspectors of the Ningxuan Sect? Is there a Ningxuan Sect?
If the matter gets out of hand, although the Chang family is also a member of a certain supreme camp of the Ningxuan Sect, it is always not good.
Chang Silang is a smart man and would never do such a stupid thing.
It's just that Qingchen entered the city too quickly and went straight to the inspector's mansion.
And Qingchen's methods were swift and decisive, and the Chang family really couldn't react.
