Chapter 898: Inspection |
Wen DongTrue Monarch directly took Meng Zhang to find Governor Zhang Wei Neng Da Shuai, which seemed a bit exaggerated, but it also demonstrated his cautiousness.
As a powerhouse at the Primordial Spirit late stage, Zhang Wei Neng Da Shuai should have enough capabilities to handle any troubles that come his way.
Wen DongTrue Monarch and the other two rushed all the way and took several days to reach Jiuqu City.
Upon entering Jiuqu City, they followed Wen DongTrue Monarch's lead and headed straight to the Governor's Mansion.
In Jiuqu City, there is a Forbidden Air Formation that prevents cultivators from freely flying.
To fly freely in Jiuqu City, one needs to notify the Governor's Mansion in advance to remove the restriction.
The laws of the Dali Dynasty are strict, and even figures like Wen DongTrue Monarch, who have the strength to resist the Forbidden Air Formation, wouldn't easily violate the law.
Wen DongTrue Monarch, accompanied by Meng Zhang, arrived at the Governor's Mansion without undergoing any inspection.
On the way, Wen DongTrue Monarch had already used a secret method to inform Governor Zhang Wei Neng.
Meng Zhang had not interacted with Zhang Wei Neng alone before, but had seen him a few times in public.
Zhang Wei Neng was tall and exuded a commanding aura. Just standing there, he seemed like an unshakable mountain, giving people a sense of immovability.
For some reason, Meng Zhang, who was somewhat uneasy in his heart before, felt reassured as soon as he saw Zhang Wei Neng, gaining some confidence.
The provincial governor and the commander of the army indeed live up to their reputations.
However, Meng Zhang was a bit puzzled that his provided information could make Zhang Wei Neng take it so seriously.
After the introduction, just as Meng Zhang was about to pay his respects, Zhang Wei Neng stopped him.
Without any useless words, Zhang Wei Neng went straight to the point and started inquiring about various details.
Before arriving, Wen DongTrue Monarch had already sent a message ahead of time, giving Zhang Wei Neng all the details of the matter.
Judging from Zhang Wei Neng's expression, it was evident that he attached great importance to this matter, which was somewhat unexpected for Wen DongTrue Monarch.
After answering Zhang Wei Neng's questions, Meng Zhang did not hide anything and truthfully recounted his findings.
Two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were tampered with without being noticed by Shang Han True Monarch of the Great Trade Alliance.
Such a matter might be significant or trivial, but after listening to Meng Zhang's account, Zhang Wei Neng's expression became increasingly serious.
Just as Meng Zhang finished speaking, an old Taoist priest walked in from outside.This person is the one who betrayed the sect and joined the Dali Dynasty, Qing Gu True Monarch.
Qing Gu True Monarch is willing to pay any price to obtain the secret method to break through to the Yang God realm.
Dali Dynasty's Ba Wudi did not deceive him; he did grant him the method to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, after Qing Gu True Monarch studied the method, he realized many intricacies and understood that his own foundation was insufficient, and his Cultivation Base was not strong enough.
If he forcefully underwent the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be equivalent to seeking death.
During these years, although he stayed in Jiuqu Province, he always secluded himself in cultivation and rarely intervened in external matters.
Originally, due to the hostility between Dali Dynasty and Purple Yang Holy Sect, he had some scheming thoughts.
But after experiencing some setbacks, especially when he personally visited Ba Wudi in the Dali Dynasty's homeland, all his scheming thoughts vanished, and he wholeheartedly pledged allegiance to the Dali Dynasty.
Because he was familiar with the situation in Jiuqu Province, Ba Wudi sent him back there and appointed him as the vice governor of Jiuqu Province, responsible for assisting Zhang Wei Neng in governing the province.
However, his mind was entirely focused on cultivation, and he held the title of vice governor in name only without fulfilling much of the responsibility.
Governor Zhang Wei Neng allowed him to do as he pleased, and unless a major event occurred, he generally wouldn't disturb him.
When Qing Gu True Monarch entered, there was still a hint of puzzlement on his face.
What major event could have happened in Jiuqu Province that Zhang Wei Neng actually interrupted his closed-door cultivation?
Zhang Wei Neng introduced Meng Zhang to Qing Gu True Monarch and then laid out the whole situation.
Qing Gu True Monarch had been to the Dali Dynasty's homeland and even had an audience with Ba Wudi.
He not only gained firsthand knowledge of various aspects of the Dali Dynasty but also heard some high-level secrets.
After listening to Zhang Wei Neng's account, his expression also became serious.
Neither he nor Zhang Wei Neng bothered to explain further to others.
"In matters like this, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. We must not be careless. Let's go and see for ourselves."
After Zhang Wei Neng finished speaking, he made a gesture with one hand, and a flying shuttle appeared in the sky above the Governor's Mansion.
He lightly leaped and boarded the flying shuttle.
At his signal, Meng Zhang, Wen DongTrue Monarch, and True Monarch Crossing Blade also jumped aboard.
Qing Gu True Monarch had already jumped to the front of the flying shuttle.
With Zhang Wei Neng, the Provincial Governor, present, Jiuqu City's Forbidden Air Formation naturally couldn't restrict the flying shuttle.The flying shuttle soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of the large city built by the Great Trade Alliance.
Meng Zhang understood that there must be something he didn't know in the middle of all this.
He glanced at the somewhat puzzled Wen DongTrue Monarch and True Monarch Crossing Blade.
Since both Zhang Wei Neng and Qing Gu True Monarch, who were aware of the situation, didn't mention it proactively, he refrained from asking too many questions.
The speed of this flying shuttle was extremely fast, surpassing that of many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
In no time, the flying shuttle arrived over the large city built by the Great Trade Alliance.
With the departure of You Hongzhi True Monarch and others, the place began to calm down.
Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from Wonderful Pill Union, Tool and Talisman League, Gu Yue Family, and others saw that there was nothing significant happening and gradually dispersed.
Now, within the large city, only the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Great Trade Alliance remained.
Zhang Wei Neng, the Provincial Governor, arrived outside the large city but did not enter directly. Instead, he sent Wen DongTrue Monarch to deliver an order, summoning Shang Han True Monarch and the two True Monarchs, Liao Xing, and Liao Yuan, to see him in his capacity as the governor.
No matter how powerful the Great Trade Alliance was in the Dali Dynasty, they dared not ignore the direct summons of the Provincial Governor.
Soon, Wen DongTrue Monarch led Shang Han True Monarch and the others to appear before Zhang Wei Neng.
Shang Han True Monarch, accompanied by the Liao Family brothers, was about to pay respects to Governor Zhang Wei Neng.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei Neng and Qing Gu True Monarch made a move.
The two Primordial Spirit late-stage cultivators launched a surprise attack without the slightest defense from the other side.
With almost no effort, they captured Shang Han True Monarch and his two companions.
Seeing this scene, Meng Zhang and the others were even more puzzled.
Fortunately, they were all clever enough not to question aloud.
On the other hand, Shang Han True Monarch of the Great Trade Alliance stared at Zhang Wei Neng with a mix of shock and anger, his face full of disbelief.
Zhang Wei Neng and Qing Gu True Monarch paid him no attention and carefully inspected the Liao Family brothers.
After a meticulous examination from inside to outside, from their physical bodies to their Souls, even with the eyesight of the two, they found nothing suspicious.
However, Zhang Wei Neng and Qing Gu True Monarch were not discouraged.
The two exchanged a glance and each took out a palm-sized mirror.
