Chapter 128 The Ghost's Authority
"Sit down. The summer rain is damp and chilly. Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
The Tiger Cavalry commander hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a chair and sat down, holding a teacup in both hands. He didn't drink, but his expression was solemn.
"You seem to disagree with my decision to take action against the Xuanjia Sect now."
023 sat down opposite the Tiger Cavalry Commander and asked with a smile.
"My lord, please forgive my bluntness, but the Xuanjia Sect has not done anything seriously wrong. Although they occupy a key waterway in Yuntai Prefecture and set up a gate to collect tolls."
However, they did maintain the safety of that section of the waterway, saving us some effort. Although the Xuanjia Sect had gathered some disciples and farmers under its command, they always paid their taxes in full and without any arrears. This was a rare and benevolent sect in Yuntai Prefecture.
If they were all wiped out, there wouldn't be many sects left in Yuntai Prefecture, but you know that's impossible.
The Tiger Cavalry commander hesitated for a moment before finally speaking his mind. Although his men had already been sent to the Xuanjia Sect's base and the matter could not be changed, he still had to say what needed to be said.
Xuanjia Sect is just a medium-sized sect in Yuntai Prefecture. If it is destroyed, it is fine. However, if 023 pushes too hard and alerts large sects like Longquan Valley that have long occupied Yuntai Prefecture, or if they retaliate in secret, then the Dragon Tiger Cavalry will also have to bear considerable pressure.
Especially the Tiger Riders, because they need to carry out demon-slaying missions all year round, they need the help of these sects, big and small.
Once the relationship breaks down, the difficulty of their future missions will be hellish. That's why the Tiger Cavalry Commander risked breaking taboos by questioning the mission.
When all the obedient sects are wiped out, how will the less obedient sects cope? They'll have to band together and rebel.
This is not the arrangement made by Gaoyang County 014 to the Qi family. The Qi family has a way to die, but the Xuanjia Sect does not.
"To be honest, I didn't want to either, but there's no other way. The Xuanjia Sect must be destroyed. If they aren't, we'll be in big trouble."
023 said helplessly.
Those who come from the Abyss Academy are almost all obsessive individuals who have been baptized by that illusion. Because they lack great power and have suffered treatment when they were not chosen, their lifespan is even shorter than that of ordinary people. Therefore, they often act without restraint.
Simply put, it means that ten thousand years is too long, and we should seize the day; as long as it works, going against the grain is the norm.
023's sudden instigation of the Bone-Piercing Sect to attack the Xuanjia Sect was simply because a classmate from the Abyss Academy used the Eagle's Nest's communication capabilities to transmit the information to him.
If 023 doesn't destroy the Xuanjia Sect and allow the Dragon Tiger Cavalry to seal off and take over the area, there will be huge trouble, and it might even affect the affairs of all the students at Qianyuan Academy.
"Damn it, why did this trouble fall into my jurisdiction? In order not to affect the overall situation, I have to disrupt my own plans and forcibly help this classmate get rid of this matter."
023's brows were also furrowed. His mission was to complete the Yunzhongjun Network, which was why he was sent to Yuntai Prefecture, a place crisscrossed by waterways. His plan was to test and promote the Yunzhongjun Network using a business model.
In the early stages, this required the support of local sects, and even the recruitment of them. Now that the Xuanjia Sect has been decisively destroyed and the area sealed off, he will need to spend more energy and time to resolve this unpleasant situation.
"trouble?"
"After the fall of the previous Heavenly Court, the true remnants fled to Baiyujing, but the gods of heaven and earth, formed by the national fortune aura derived from all living beings, turned into countless fragments scattered throughout the borders of the Great Zhao Kingdom."
This trouble was left behind by one of the Ten Lords, one of the ten strongest deities in the celestial realm, whom the Martial Emperor himself had slain.
023 began to explain.
In reality, it is a fragment left over from the Ghost Lord among the Ten Lords.
That classmate's task was to study the fragments of authority left behind by the Ghost Lord, and through reverse analysis, see if this plague-inducing authority could be transformed into a benevolent authority that benefits all living beings.
However, his perverse actions backfired, leaving the remains of one of the test subjects uncleaned.
It wasn't that the experimental debris was difficult to deal with; it was just that the location where his classmate was situated was being closely watched by both the sect and the academy factions, leaving him with neither the manpower nor the resources to deal with the experimental debris.
Otherwise, if the sects and academies interfered, they would have a reason to use this as a pretext to report to the court, slowing down the various tasks carried out by Qianyuan Academy. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied or unwilling he was, for the sake of the overall situation, 023 could only grit his teeth and help his classmate clean up the mess.
Fortunately, Eagle's Nest and Dragon Tiger Cavalry are a unified force directly under the Martial Emperor, especially Eagle Falcon, who is responsible for liaising with those from the Abyss Academy. Even though the sects and academies are deeply entrenched and have infiltrated the Great Zhao, it will still take them some time to learn of this news.
As long as 023 resolves the matter within this window of opportunity, it will be too late for them to learn the news.
"Remember, you must do as I say. Leave no one alive in the Xuanjia Sect, including those demons from the Chigu Sect."
"From beginning to end, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us, the Dragon Tiger Guards. It was just that the people from the Bone-Piercing Sect were greedy and the roving bandits took advantage of the chaos. We were just following our usual procedure to investigate the case, understand?"
023 said.
"Yes, sir. Although the brothers I sent out are not clear about the specifics, it's not their first time carrying out a cover-up mission, so they know what they're doing. However, since it involves the power of the Ten Lords, I'd better go myself to avoid any unexpected situations."
The Tiger Cavalry commander wisely stopped asking questions. Since it involved the Ten Lords, there were no small matters. In that case, the destruction of the Xuanjia Sect was acceptable.
"This is troublesome."
023 was pondering how to clean up the mess, but didn't show it on his face at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he was practically powerless and going there would have been completely pointless, 023 would have secretly taken the Dragon God Soldiers to the Xuanjia Gate himself.
However, there was a tacit understanding within the court that neither side in the power struggle should use forces beyond their local area.
Hopefully, this can be resolved smoothly. After all, it is the authority of the Ghost Lord. If it spreads, there will inevitably be a plague in Yuntai Prefecture. This place is also a place where waterways crisscross and huge volumes of water come and go.
If not handled properly, the first student with the code name will be defeated and forced to retreat back to the gutter, and unfortunately, that person is very likely to be himself, 023.
"Damn it, how could you make such a basic mistake? Why don't you just die?!"
023 gritted his teeth.
The Tiger Cavalry Commander naturally had no idea what 023 was thinking, but that didn't mean he wasn't anxious. Regardless of which of the Ten Sovereigns' authority was left behind, it was a major event, and he had to rush there to personally oversee things and ensure that nothing went wrong.
