363: Chapter 362 Overseeing the Nation, Acting as a Circuit Inspector

As Chu Xuan's voice echoed in everyone's ears,

at this moment, no one dared to raise any objections, and even their feelings of resistance had diminished significantly.

After only a few seconds of silence, a Captain who had reached Rank 10 stepped forward:

"Chu Xuan, you have already proven your strength and indeed possess the ability to see through Specters. There's nothing more to say; I am willing to accept your inspection at any time."

Immediately afterward, the two people accompanying this Captain also stepped forward.

"We are willing as well!"

However, at that moment, another Rank 10 Captain cleared his throat and said in a heavy voice:

"Let me be the first to undergo the inspection. I haven't expressed any opposition from the start; on the contrary, I am very much in favor of it."

"Because I have always believed in Chu Xuan!"

This burly man looked around at the crowd, stroked his full beard, and suddenly showed a cold smile:

"Don't you people use your brains?"

"With Chu Xuan's strength, if he really wanted to harm us, there would be no need for any inspection. No matter who he wanted to kill, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant. Why would he need to do something so redundant?"

"The reason Chu Xuan wants to inspect us is for our own sake. As long as he inspects someone and says there's no problem, it's equivalent to a 'good citizen pass.' This is clearly a good thing!"

A heavy Guan Dao suddenly appeared in the burly man's hand as he said with a cold face:

"I, Liang Weihai, am putting this out there: if anyone dares to disobey the Inspector, I'll be the first to object!"

"Not just me, but I also represent all the Transcendents of Liaocheng!"

"I want to see who else dares to be so blind!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, which had been somewhat silent, suddenly erupted, unable to hold back any longer.

You can even do that?

In particular, the Rank 10 Captain who had been the first to step forward and agree to the inspection shouted angrily:

"Old Liang, have you no shame? Just now upstairs, you were the first to clamor that the Inspector was just a little kid whose hair hadn't even fully grown in, and that no matter who else accepted him, you never would. Have you forgotten all those words now?"

Liang Weihai's eyes widened, and his full beard bristled:

"Luo Yong, it seems you're a brainless fellow too. Chu Xuan's status as Inspector was an appointment left by Captain General Yang Yu before his departure. Could I possibly oppose it?

The reason I said those things was just to help Chu Xuan test the waters and see how many people were blind!"

Luo Yong was not to be outdone and said with disdain, "You change your face faster than flipping a book. Aren't you just scared? Do you really need to find an excuse for yourself?"

"Nonsense! It seems you want to sow discord between me and the Inspector. Then I'll just have to have a proper bout with you."

The two glared at each other, looking as if they were about to start a fight.

At the same time, the remaining Rank 10 Captains had already taken the lead and swarmed forward.

"Chu Xuan, inspect me first!"

"Me first, me first..."

The crowd argued incessantly, all vying to be the first to be inspected by Chu Xuan.

They seemed fickle and inconsistent, their attitudes shifting completely, showing none of the dignity expected of Transcendents.

However, Chu Xuan had already sensed that most of their emotions were tinged with a bit of nervousness.

This nervousness was clearly a fear that he would settle scores later, so they were all scrambling to show their support.

Each of them tacitly engaged in arguments like street thugs to make themselves appear less calculating.

"Chu Xuan, please don't misunderstand; we were actually all misled."

"The S-rank Specter you just killed was truly extraordinary. I know his original background; he was an Inspector from Shaocheng."

"And a special Dark Place once appeared in Shaocheng, forming an ancient battlefield, which gave birth to an A-Rank Specter. The situation was similar to the Great Buddha of Yinshan Village you encountered in Haicheng."

"Everyone said the incident was resolved, but now it seems that was far from the truth. That A-Rank Specter not only hid itself but even parasitized an Inspector and controlled their Captain through special means."

"Such a sinister Specter was truly difficult for us to guard against, which is why we were manipulated. Fortunately, Chu Xuan, you finally turned the tide and rescued us from disaster, preventing a major mistake!"

"Chu Xuan, as an Inspector, you are absolutely deserving of the title. We all support you!"

The crowd swarmed forward, surrounding Chu Xuan in the center.

However, they maintained a distance of about ten meters, not getting too close to avoid overstepping bounds.

As they spoke one after another, many had already come up with excuses for their previous behavior.

And through this back-and-forth chatter, they fleshed out and perfected these reasons.

Chu Xuan did not expose them.

However, after experiencing this, his conviction to become stronger deepened further.

No matter where one went, no matter what era it was, might always made right.

As long as one displayed enough strength, no matter how much what one wanted to do touched upon people's personal interests, there would always be someone to find an appropriate and righteous reason for you.

They would willingly become your vanguard, your pawns, to sweep away all voices of opposition for you,

and push you onto an altar.

The so-called 'great scholars will interpret the scriptures for me' was probably exactly like this.

However, Chu Xuan did not become lost in arrogance because of this.

He had no doubt that if his strength were insufficient one day, someone would surely jump out and try to trample him ruthlessly.

Not everyone would be like that, but those who would were definitely not a minority.

Only by constantly becoming stronger could one have any guarantee.

Next, Chu Xuan began to verify his hypothesis by using the Eye of Insight on the crowd.

Everything was indeed as he expected. When the subject of the inspection relaxed their mind and no longer used any means to resist,

the spirituality value consumed by Chu Xuan's [Eye of Insight] decreased significantly.

For those with lower Ranks and spirit attributes, Chu Xuan could investigate all of their information using only 1 point of spirituality value.

Even for fellow Rank 10 Transcendents, Chu Xuan could keep the cost at around 5 points of spirituality value to investigate everything clearly.

And if he only checked the person's name and status to identify if they were a Specter, it likewise only required 1 point of spirituality value.

Having verified this, Chu Xuan felt greatly reassured and continued to address the crowd:

"Inspecting those of you at the Deputy Captain level and above is just one part of it.

Additionally, I want you to go back and keep the Transcendents of your respective cities in check. When I go there, you must be able to organize personnel to accept my inspection at any time."

Naturally, no one opposed this.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, then walked directly to Lin Jie's phone, looked into the camera, and said unhurriedly:

"As for the Captains of other cities who have not come to the Capital, I am giving you a deadline to be present before the start of the offline conference. Unless there is an exceptional reason, you must attend, or I will personally come to your door."

"Do not say you were not warned!"

"Before long, I will inspect the entire country and enforce the law on behalf of the world!"
