Chapter 1129 - 937: Holy King Order (Part 2)

Otherwise, if these old monsters start fighting wildly, who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up? It's only just begun, and it's already like this.

Upon hearing this, Bi Dao and Luo Xian'er exchanged a silent glance. They were well aware of the theft of the Phoenix Clan's Divine Mountain Formation, and had heard about Wu Jinliang using an array against a group of experts from Nanshan in Yanfu Continent. Feng Xi's comments made them realize that the array used by Wu Jinliang indeed resembled the Beidou Refusal Array.

Even though they were quite convinced by what they had heard, their stubborn distrust made them still harbor suspicions.

Luo Xian'er questioned, "Was it Shi Chun who stole the Phoenix Clan's Divine Mountain Formation? Does he have that capability?"

Feng Xi: "I am here to verify and investigate. What are you here for? I'm waiting for him, yet he hides from me, refusing to show up. He leaves me here like a lamppost to attract attention, spreading rumors everywhere. You came offering a billion, then another offers a billion; fine, he tasted the sweet benefits and remains hidden. You guys even started biting each other like mad dogs. It's one thing to deceive me, but did the Demon Path provoke you to drag them into this? Mulan Jin met you because of bad luck, idly coming to check on you."

He finally found a way to vent his frustrations, taking advantage of the incident to express his grievances in a reasonable manner.

Even Bi Dao and Luo Xian'er were somewhat embarrassed.

Luo Xian'er gritted her teeth, "Shi Chun is truly wicked."

Bi Dao asked her, "Did you sign the agreement for the transfer of that billion-dollar taxable industry?"

Luo Xian'er: "That person pesters me daily for confirmation. Don't tell me you didn't sign. Now that Mulan Jin is here, should we avoid him for a while?"

Bi Dao stiffened his neck and said, "Having done nothing wrong, there's no fear of the ghost knocking at the door. Retreating now would make it seem we're afraid of him."

Indeed, both Luo Xian'er and Feng Xi fell into contemplation, or rather, they were somewhat conflicted.

Normally, they were not afraid of Mulan Jin, but if Mulan Jin caught them with evidence against the Demon Path, it might be troublesome.

Thus, they mentally cursed Bai Sheng since they suspected he was behind all this.

As they reflected nervously, a large group of cloaked figures arrived at the mountain gate, led by Mulan Jin. Upon showing his identity, he went straight up the mountain, encountering Feng Chi on the way, who greeted him reverently and nervously.

To her, these people were far scarier than the Demon Kings led by Bi Dao. She was truly from the Demon Path, specialized in dealing with people from the Demon Path, especially in close proximity to such legendary figures. How could she not be nervous and afraid?

Even knowing Shi Chun wasn't there, Mulan Jin coldly asked, "Where is Shi Chun?"

The sun was bright, yet the group of black-cloaked people halfway up the mountain gave off a gloomy aura, a testament to their traits honed by capturing people.

Especially Mulan Jin, the piercing gaze beneath the cloak brim was cold and intimidating, at least to Feng Chi, who glanced at him.

Feeling immense pressure, Feng Chi replied respectfully, "Lord Commander is busy traveling around to attract industries for Dingnan Prefecture, his whereabouts are uncertain, so I don't know where he is."

Mulan Jin then asked, "Are Feng Xi, Bi Dao, and Luo Xian'er still on the mountain?"

Feng Chi honestly replied, "Yes."

Mulan Jin immediately turned and said, "Split up into three teams and control everyone. No one is allowed to leave or make external contact, no one is allowed to alert the Demon Path, defying orders will be treated as collusion with the Demon Path, and offenders will be detained immediately!"

He then instructed Feng Chi, "Arrange someone to guide the way."

"Yes," Feng Chi agreed, quickly summoning someone to give instructions.

Thus, three groups headed towards three separate courtyards, with Mulan Jin being led by Feng Chi up the mountain.

Perhaps due to being a newcomer, Mulan Jin unconsciously slowed his pace, raising a hand to lift his hat while surveying the surroundings of Shi Chun's old lair.

As for Shi Chun, he had witnessed his rise all along the way, even personally seeing him being hunted during the Battle of Great Pardon. In an instant, Shi Chun became a figure who established dominance in one area.

Especially when other provinces struggled to maintain their positions by attracting people, the owner here securely held his place and even challenged himself further.

His biggest worry was his daughter Mulan Qingqing, who constantly wanted to find Shi Chun. If not for being restrained by Su Yuan Sect, he feared he might become a grandfather unexpectedly, and Shi Chun certainly wouldn't hold back on a gift brought to his doorstep.

He had long wanted to visit here, but often found himself bound by status and position.

Soon they received news, saying that Two groups had failed to capture anyone, but then all three teams went to one place after finding Bi Dao, Luo Xian'er, and Feng Xi together, then temporarily detained them, though their attitudes weren't favorable.

Mulan Jin reached the mountain, wandered inside Shi Chun's hall, and walked to the terrace to view the scenery, humming, "The pavilion and towers are well built, Shi Chun really knows how to enjoy life."

A somewhat nervous Feng Chi humbly replied, "No, no, it's all built on borrowed money."

She intended to say it's beautifully built for presenting to attract people and industries, not for enjoyment, but her nervousness caused her to poorly express this.

Mulan Jin glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to his subordinate, "Bring them over."

"Yes," the subordinate immediately turned to relay the order.

Mulan Jin also took out a Mother-child Talisman, trying to send a message to Shi Chun: Where are you?

In the deep and expansive courtyard, leisurely reading in a ventilated pavilion, Shi Chun took out the Mother-child Talisman and paused upon seeing it, not replying. Feng Chi had secretly informed him of Mulan Jin's arrival.

It's not that he's being rude, but he indeed couldn't conveniently show up at the moment.

Before long, the three Demon Realm leaders were brought to the ornate hall at the mountain top, with Feng Xi accompanied by two attendants, while the others each brought only one.

Inside and outside the hall were masked individuals in black cloaks, hands resting on swords and sabers, creating a tense atmosphere.

Upon arrival, still cloaked Mulan Jin slowly emerged from the terrace.

Upon seeing him, Bi Dao immediately burst into anger, "Mulan Jin, what is this?"

Mulan Jin did not respond, his face frozen, emotionless eyes coldly sweeping over the group, and raised a hand, hooking his fingers elegantly.

Soon, the sound of iron chains echoed, as a black sack was dragged over, and was publicly opened, revealing a man tortured beyond recognition.

Crack! An eerie blue whip image snapped in the air, lashing onto the man, drawing blood and flesh, leaving the ground dirty.

The pained man whimpered, emitting swirling black vapors—Demonic Qi, unleashed by the Demon Refining Whip.

Witnessing this, Feng Chi felt a bit distressed.

Standing in front of the demon cultivator, Mulan Jin looked down, then slowly raised his gaze over the three Demon Realm leaders, "Someone reported you're colluding with the Demon Path for wicked plots. This cultist was discovered based on the reports, please cooperate for investigation."

Luo Xian'er sneered, "What a joke, anytime someone makes an accusation or sets a trap, we have to comply? Do you think the West Bull King Court is your personal domain?"

Her words ended when Mulan Jin, not wanting to waste words, swung a Command Arrow in front of her—the golden arrow vividly carved with dragons and clouds, grand in momentum, its dragon eyes realistic and soul-stirring.

For common people, he wouldn't use this token.

He not only showed it to her, but Mulan Jin also rotated the token to show Bi Dao and Feng Xi.

The three Demon Realm leaders instantly fell silent, one displaying unwillingness, another hesitant to speak, and the third pressing their lips tightly together.

This is the Holy King Order of the Western Ox Continent Royal Court, bearing witness to the Saint King's presence.

The Order was granted by the West Ox Saint King, used solely for the Demon Path by Mulan Jin. In cases of undeniable evidence or urgent circumstances, he has the authority of life and death over members of the West Bull King Court, able to kill now and report later!

Similar Command Arrows, Mulan Jin has five different ones—the result of Heavenly Court and the Four Great Royal Courts negotiating years ago amid the circumstances. This is why Xuansu said only he personally could maintain order.
