Chapter 896: Disposal |
After True Monarch Profound Wind was stunned for a moment, he suddenly reacted. Shui Ling True Monarch and True Monarch White Crow's remarks were obviously trying to exonerate You Hongzhi True Monarch and others, trying to downplay the seriousness of the matter.
Their actions were definitely not because of any personal relationship between them.
You Hongzhi True Monarch and others also didn't have the ability to command them.
True Monarch Profound Wind could think of what they were thinking, so how could the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the three big merchant families not figure it out?
Including Shang Han True Monarch, everyone's faces were grim, feeling a sense of things slipping out of their control.
If there were no backers behind them, Shui Ling True Monarch and True Monarch White Crow would never dare to be so meddlesome.
Shui Ling True Monarch and True Monarch White Crow stood in the middle, and the two sides couldn't fight each other anymore.
Whether they liked it or not, both sides had temporarily achieved peace.
Of course, neither side showed any intention to leave; they just confronted each other, unwilling to back down.
Stopping both sides from engaging in a full-blown fight was already an accomplishment for them.
After rambling on for a while, Shui Ling True Monarch and True Monarch White Crow finally stopped talking.
They didn't take any other actions but called True Monarch Profound Wind, who was standing far away, to come over. The three of them stood in the middle, isolating both sides, making it difficult for them to directly attack each other.
Meng Zhang recalled the advice Wen Dong True Monarch gave him earlier.
It seemed that the Provincial Governor's Mansion also didn't want a large-scale Primordial Spirit battle to break out in Jiuqu Province, causing massive destruction and chaos.
Everyone waited silently. They knew that this matter was far from over.
Now, they were waiting for the official response from Jiuqu Province, especially from the Provincial Governor's Mansion, regarding this matter.
Since everyone present were Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, they were patient and didn't mind waiting without eating or drinking.
Three days later, Wen Dong True Monarch and True Monarch Crossing Blade appeared in this place with an order from Provincial Governor Zhang Wei Neng Dashuai.
Wen Dong True Monarch was already an important figure in the Provincial Governor's Mansion and now represented the Provincial Governor.
As soon as he appeared, everyone was in awe, standing up with serious expressions.
Wen Dong True Monarch didn't waste time on pleasantries. He glanced at everyone present and began reading out Provincial Governor Zhang Wei Neng Dashuai's order.
The order was straightforward, instructing all those present to disperse immediately and not engage in private conflicts here.Wen Dong True Monarch had just finished reading the order when Shang Han True Monarch couldn't help but raise an objection.
It was You Hongzhi True Monarch and his people who initiated this conflict, and they even committed the crime of treason. How did this turn into a private dispute among the rest of them?
Wen Dong True Monarch maintained a respectful demeanor towards Shang Han True Monarch.
He didn't rush to leave but patiently explained to him.
You Hongzhi True Monarch had a group of unruly subordinates who engaged in various illegal transactions with the Extraterritorial Invaders behind their backs.
Governor Zhang Wei Neng Dashuai was extremely angry about this and would certainly punish them severely.
It was also wrong for You Hongzhi True Monarch and his people to come here to Jiuqu City and engage in private conflicts with the Great Unity Merchant League.
After they return, they will undoubtedly be held accountable by the Provincial Governor's Mansion.
In the end, Wen Dong True Monarch's tone became slightly firmer, advising Shang Han True Monarch and his group not to falsely accuse others due to personal grievances.
Currently, in Jiuqu City, many cultivators from local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province have gone to the Provincial Governor's Mansion to appeal and explain their grievances.
Governor Zhang Wei Neng Dashuai is astute and knows that these people are not rebels.
Baseless rumors are simply not credible.
After listening for a while, Shang Han True Monarch finally understood.
Governor Zhang Wei Neng Dashuai had taken action to forcefully suppress this incident and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.
The three big merchant families had been planning for many years and put a lot of effort into their arrangements. How could they just be suppressed like this?
Just as Shang Han True Monarch was about to speak up in defiance, Iron Forge True Monarch from the Tool and Talisman League, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but complain.
"I said it earlier; we shouldn't have hidden this plan from Governor Zhang Wei Neng."
"If we had involved him earlier, the situation wouldn't be like this now."
Shang Han True Monarch really wanted to slap this outspoken guy to death.
Can he just say these things casually?
Especially in front of so many people, openly talking about plans and trying to involve the governor.
Wen Dong True Monarch cleared his throat as if he hadn't heard anything.
Since the governor had already issued the order, everyone naturally had to stop the conflict and return to their homes.
Shang Han True Monarch, who was originally prepared to argue, was thrown off by Iron Forge True Monarch's interruption and no longer had the intention to continue the dispute.
He knew that it was too late to say anything now that things had come to this point.Governor Zhang Wei Neng had obviously made up his mind before issuing such an order.
No matter how powerful and well-connected the three big merchant families were, Governor Zhang Wei Neng represented the Dali Dynasty in Jiuqu Province and was the representative of Ba Wudi, ruling over this territory.
Shang Han True Monarch and his group couldn't openly confront Governor Zhang Wei Neng, and they certainly couldn't openly defy the order given by him as the Provincial Governor.
Although Governor Zhang Wei Neng intervened and disrupted their plans this time, Shang Han True Monarch and his group were not going to give up easily. They had many influential connections and believed that they could find a way to change Governor Zhang Wei Neng's mind eventually.
In public, Shang Han True Monarch and his group had to give face to Governor Zhang Wei Neng and not undermine the authority of the Dali Dynasty's officials.
They decided not to continue the relentless argument and chose to obey the order.
They looked at You Hongzhi True Monarch and his group with hostile glares, filled with resentment.
Shang Han True Monarch pointed to the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who were captured alive.
Although they felt embarrassed by their actions, they couldn't simply abandon them. Even the wealthy and powerful Great Unity Merchant League couldn't treat two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs as nothing.
Wen Dong True Monarch saw the situation and flew towards where Meng Zhang and the others were standing.
Even though there was a considerable distance between them, everyone had keen senses and had already understood everything that had happened just now.
Wen Dong True Monarch persuaded them and asked them to release the two captured Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
It wasn't easy to capture these hostages, and everyone was a bit reluctant to let them go so easily.
However, they couldn't go against Wen Dong True Monarch's intentions.
Without Governor Zhang Wei Neng's secret protection, this situation wouldn't have turned out so well.
As the executor of the Provincial Governor's order, Wen Dong True Monarch's dignity had to be respected.
You Hongzhi True Monarch and his group were perceptive people, and they could sense that Wen Dong True Monarch's words had many implications, giving them some leeway.
Everyone unanimously agreed to release the two captives below.
You Hongzhi True Monarch extended his right hand and gently beckoned, and the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs sitting on the sand dunes floated up.
Meng Zhang, who had been secretly observing You Hongzhi True Monarch, felt a stir in his heart and looked over.
