The Enforcement Leaders from Qingxuan City looked at each other in bewilderment.
Was the person Zhang Lan spoke of really their Court Leader Lu? He wasn’t that kind of person at all…
The words “admirable and praiseworthy” had nothing to do with Court Leader Lu, even in eight lifetimes.
He certainly wouldn’t risk his life for a public office in the Taoist Court.
Zhang Lan gave them a cold look, “Court Leader Lu is dead, yet you remain unmoved. Do you harbor dissatisfaction with Court Leader Lu?”
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the Enforcement Leaders from Qingxuan City tightened. They immediately bowed their heads, adopting a mournful expression, and said one after another,
“With the death of Court Leader Lu, we are stricken with grief, finding it hard to believe. We ask for Court Leader Zhang’s assistance in dealing with the aftermath.”
Zhang Lan nodded, “Catching Bald Tuo is a shared credit, and Court Leader Lu’s contribution is indispensable. His body should be sent back to Qingxuan City for a proper burial.”
With Lu Hui dead, the only Supervisor left here was Zhang Lan, so naturally, his word was law.
Moreover, with the capture of Bald Tuo, they each had a share of the merits; it wasn’t a wasted trip.
As for Court Leader Lu, dead is dead.
What could they, several Enforcement Leaders, do? They couldn’t possibly oppose Zhang Lan, the Supervisor.
The Enforcement Leaders from Qingxuan City bowed and agreed, “We shall follow what Court Leader Zhang has instructed.”
Zhang Lan nodded in satisfaction and instructed, “First, send the body of Court Leader Lu back to the Taoist Court in Tongxian City, let the Court Leader take a look, and then send it back to Qingxuan City.”
“Yes.”
The Enforcement Leaders from Qingxuan City took Lu Hui’s body and left the mountain first, while Mo Hua, alongside Zhang Lan, returned to the valley where the Sin Cultivators took shelter.
Ji Qingbai and several Cultivators from the Taoist Court were cleaning up the battlefield. Upon seeing Mo Hua, they looked around and couldn’t help but ask,
“Where is Lu Hui?”
Mo Hua sighed, “Court Leader Lu died in the line of duty.”
Ji Qingbai showed an incredulous expression.
How much time had passed, and he had died in the line of duty? That was Lu Hui!
The Supervisor of Qingxuan City’s Taoist Court, who made a tiger of himself and committed all sorts of evil.
So many Loose Cultivators in Qingxuan City were helpless against him, how come he perished in the line of duty upon arriving at Tongxian City?
After pondering for a moment, Ji Qingbai slowly came to understand and cautiously asked, “There won’t be any problems, will there?”
Mo Shan glanced at Mo Hua and said helplessly, “We didn’t lay a finger on him.”
Mo Hua laughed, “It was Bald Tuo and the Monster Beasts who killed Lu Hui; it has nothing to do with us.”
Zhang Lan also nodded, “With not a shred of evidence, the Taoist Court won’t pursue the matter.”
Ji Qingbai stood dumbfounded for a long while, unable to comprehend how Lu Hui could be killed without leaving any trace of evidence.
But he didn’t need to know. All he had to realize was that the evil Court Leader Lu was dead.
A stone that had been weighing on his heart finally fell to the ground.
The Loose Cultivators in Qingxuan City could also breathe a little easier.
Ji Qingbai bowed his hands in respect and said solemnly, “On behalf of the Loose Cultivators of Qingxuan City, I thank you all!”
Zhang Lan waved his hand, “I haven’t done much, if you want to thank someone, thank Mo Hua.”
Ji Qingbai looked at Mo Hua in surprise.
Mo Hua chuckled, “It was but a small effort.”
All he had done was cast a few Water Prison Techniques; indeed, it was but a small effort.
