Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Time to Spend with My Daughter

Weren’t you just invoking the Battle Department and the Celestial Hall, Luo Zhonghai?

Right in front of him, Qin Tianxuan initiated a video call with both the Celestial Hall and the Battle Department.

Two high-definition monitors came online simultaneously.

On the left, in the Divine Land Hall at Battle Department headquarters, the twelve Military Gods appeared at the forefront, along with the four Grand Elders of the Battle Department, their faces grim.

On the right, the various Elders of the Celestial Hall, along with the Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master, were also seated solemnly.

They had to take this seriously. They had to appear.

Because this was the first time Night Emperor Tianxuan had demanded a meeting since the war against the Celestial Demon in the Northern Domain.

What was most frustrating for them was that Qin Tianxuan happened to be one of the very few individuals with the authority to command them to convene a meeting.

It was a power granted to the Night Emperor for his meritorious service in repeatedly repelling foreign invaders.

"Night Emperor, I respect you. You defeated the Celestial Demon and defended Da Xia. All across the Northern Domain, they have built statues of you, and every household worships you as a War God!" the lead Grand Elder of the Battle Department said slowly. "But your actions in the Northern Domain were rather excessive. You engaged the Celestial Demon’s leader in a one-on-one duel without even reporting to us."

"Furthermore, you acted on your own authority when you purged those people from the Ye Family and the Qin Family!"

Qin Tianxuan looked at the lead Grand Elder and suddenly burst out laughing.

The lead Grand Elder’s face flushed red. "Night Emperor, you should at least show some respect for an elder!"

Qin Tianxuan looked at the old man on the screen, his laughter unabated.

In the long time since defeating the Celestial Demon in the Northern Domain, he hadn’t exactly been idle.

Certain people in the Battle Department, and many Elders in the Celestial Hall, were secretly colluding with the Daqin Royal Family and the Divine Doctor Ye Family, exchanging favors and benefits. Qin Tianxuan had deployed the strongest operatives from the Intelligence Hall and the Ten Thousand Realms Hall to investigate them.

By now, he held the absolute upper hand.

At this moment, he stopped laughing and looked at the lead Grand Elder. "Before I went to the Northern Domain, the Defender Generals there were rotated in and out like figures on a carousel. But strangely, all the replacements were from the Qin Family! What was the Battle Department thinking? I hear it was all on your orders, lead Grand Elder!"

The lead Grand Elder of the Battle Department’s face began to turn pale. "Night Emperor, what are you implying?"

Qin Tianxuan shook his head at the video conference screen, then raised his hand. "Venerable Yuan!"

The leader of the Intelligence Hall, Venerable Yuan, appeared at once, respectfully handing over a thick envelope.

Qin Tianxuan opened the envelope in full view of the Battle Department’s video conference.

Then he casually pulled out a document. "Hmm, here we have our lead Grand Elder’s report of overseas assets. Four villas abroad, two estates... oh, and an illegitimate son. He’s keeping foreign women in each of his villas and estates. You certainly have unique tastes, old man!"

THWACK! He slammed the document onto the camera.

"This evidence is now being broadcast to every camp in the Battle Department. My apologies, lead Grand Elder, but the videos and photos of you vacationing overseas with your arms around those women can now be seen by everyone in the Battle Department."

In that instant, obscene images suddenly popped up on the phones and computers of every member of the Battle Department, from the top brass to the lowest ranks.

The star of the show was none other than the incomparably dignified lead Grand Elder.

Qin Tianxuan, clapping his hands in his Jinling garden, said, "As for who bribed you with all this money, lead Grand Elder, I don’t even need to say. The Qin Family was very clean; there’s no evidence pointing to them. That’s why you don’t dare speak up, right?"

The lead Grand Elder’s face had turned ashen.

He scrambled to his feet, covering his face and roaring, "This is slander! The videos and photos are fake, they’re doctored! I will... I will report this to the highest authority! I’m going to sue the Night Emperor! I don’t believe this..."

Before he could finish, the doors to the Battle Department’s Divine Land Hall burst open.

A group of gray-clothed individuals appeared, their faces expressionless.

"By order of the highest authority, the Celestial Secret Platform, and the Earth Supervision Department, the lead Grand Elder of the Battle Department is hereby relieved of all duties. Please cooperate with our investigation!"

The lead Grand Elder shouted and screamed, even swinging his fists in an attempt to resist. In the end, he was thrown to the ground and dragged out without a shred of dignity.

He was finished.

The Celestial Secret Platform and the Earth Supervision Department!

These were organizations that answered directly to the highest authority!

These two bodies were also known as the Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall!

No one in the Battle Department dared to resist, nor did they have any reason to help the lead Grand Elder.

Qin Tianxuan raised his hand and closed the video conference on the left.

’There were many others besides the lead Grand Elder who were entangled with the powerful clans of the Imperial Capital, but there’s no need to catch them all in one fell swoop. This matter must be handled slowly.’

Qin Tianxuan, still in the garden drinking his tea, turned to glance at the trembling Luo Zhonghai.

"Hm? What were you saying just now? That the Battle Department wouldn’t spare me?"

Luo Zhonghai was utterly stunned.

The Battle Department’s sanctum, the Divine Land Hall, the lead Grand Elder!

A figure of such status that even Young Master Qilin would have to kneel and address him as "Sir."

And yet, the Night Emperor had dealt with him so casually?

And in a way that left him no chance to fight back.

’I was wrong. Completely wrong.’

’I actually thought Young Master Luo Qilin could already test his strength against the Night Emperor.’

’I thought the Qilin War General could already face Night Emperor Tianxuan head-on.’

But in reality...

Qin Tianxuan probably didn’t even give a second thought to a mere War General from the Southern Domain Battle Department.

’The gap is just too vast.’

Luo Zhonghai was drenched in sweat.

Qin Tianxuan then turned his attention to the video conference on the right.

The crowd of Celestial Hall Elders now stood up in terror, bowing deeply toward the screen.

They were scared out of their wits.

"Night Emperor! We haven’t colluded with any powerful families, we really haven’t!"

Qin Tianxuan smiled. "I never said you did. What are you all so panicked about?"

The Celestial Hall Elders on the screen sat down awkwardly, their faces pale.

Qin Tianxuan’s expression turned serious. "Actually, you Elders of the Celestial Hall have always taken good care of me, and for that, I am very grateful! So there’s nothing major for this meeting. It’s just about the Luo Family. I want them... heheh... to get the hell out of the Imperial Capital!"

With a single sentence, the fate of the Luo Family in the Imperial Capital was sealed.

He ended the video calls, and the garden fell silent.

From this moment on, the Luo Family had no place left in the Imperial Capital.

Having dealt with the matter cleanly and efficiently, Qin Tianxuan looked at Luo Zhonghai again. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Luo Zhonghai said nothing.

A Personal Guard beside him kicked him. "He’s talking to you!"

THUD. Luo Zhonghai’s body went limp and he collapsed.

"Unbelievable. Sir, I think he fainted from fright."

Qin Tianxuan was also exasperated. "Take him away!"

After Luo Zhonghai was taken away, Qin Tianxuan stretched languidly and checked the time. ’It’s time for Niannian to get out of school. I haven’t been able to spend any proper time with my daughter lately.’

At this thought, he gave an order, "Things in Jinling are almost settled. Only the Chu Family is left to deal with. You’ve all worked hard, so take a three-day leave! I’m going to spend time with my daughter."

He left immediately, getting into the car that Prince had prepared.

"To the school. Pick up Niannian!"
