76: Discuss with King Yan about sending out notices for demon-killing heroes!

Liu Zhen and the others' expressions also turned solemn upon hearing this.

There were two Grade 3 powerhouses within the Giant Spirit Hall!

Although they had a Grade 3 spellcaster like Ye Hangzhou by their side, the Yan King was still an uncertain factor.

If they wanted to use this opportunity to deal with Mu Yunxiao, the other party certainly wouldn't let go of this chance either!

Liu Zhen asked with a solemn expression, "Do you think he and those major sects will listen to us?"

"Now that our reputation has been established, he has no choice!" Li Shengyuan said calmly.

"As for those sects, I imagine they won't miss such a good opportunity to suppress a top sect of the same level."

The decline of a top sect meant that a large amount of resources would flow out. The Northern Border Three Prefectures were vast and rich in mineral resources. Without the Giant Spirit Hall, one of the three top sects, even if the other seven major sects only took a little, it would be enough to make their mouths water.

Moreover, since the sects were all in the same region, while there weren't major sectarian wars, there were certainly daily frictions and grudges.

Large-scale sectarian wars were difficult to instigate, but now, with the Yan King's invitation to the various sects, the Giant Spirit Hall's enemies would certainly not miss such a good opportunity.

Liu Zhen and the other two quickly understood this reason. Although they didn't manage sectarian disputes, they more or less understood some of the grudges between them.

"Then the one we need to guard against the most should be the Yan King."

Li Shengyuan nodded faintly.

At this moment, a white-robed figure suddenly appeared beside them with his hands clasped behind his back; it was Ye Hangzhou.

This fellow had disappeared to who knows where after leaving the sky battleship. Li Shengyuan had originally thought he would follow them to raid the mansion.

Looking at the elusive Ye Hangzhou, Li Shengyuan curiously asked, "Where did you run off to?"

"Stroll..."

"Alright, I know. Since you're here, come with us to find Mu Yunxiao."

Li Shengyuan mercilessly interrupted Ye Hangzhou, thinking that this fellow had most likely relapsed into his old habits.

Ye Hangzhou merely nodded slightly, not saying much.

As for why he didn't use telepathy to explain...

The reason was simple: telepathy was just as slow!

Ye Hangzhou not only spoke slowly but also had a speech impediment, though his thoughts were unaffected. To understand what he meant, one could only resonate with his soul...

But resonating with a man, he decided against it after some thought.

Li Shengyuan glanced at the bustling, bloody marketplace, then instructed, "Just dispose of these corpses casually. There's no need to hang them on the city gate tower like those four."

"After all, Yanwang City is densely populated with a huge flow of people, which would not be good for the Great Gan Imperial Court's image."

"Yes, sir."

The Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy under his command respectfully responded.

Li Shengyuan then returned to the Prince Yans Mansion with Liu Zhen, the three Golden Uniform, and Ye Hangzhou, the Second Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory.

Perhaps it was due to staying at the marketplace for too long; the five of them exuded an incredibly strong bloody aura. The guards of the Prince Yans Mansion and the officials entering and exiting to report all looked at them with fear.

It was also possible that they had heard about Li Shengyuan beheading over a hundred people at the marketplace and were afraid that they would be implicated next.

However, the current Li Shengyuan was not interested in these small fry. The show of force and the initial display of authority had already achieved their desired effect.

Dealing with more ordinary officials would simply be a waste of time.

Soon, Jiang Bo, the Prince Yans Mansion's steward, came forward with a smile.

"Lord Li, how may I help you?"

"Take me to see His Royal Highness, the Yan King."

"This..."

Li Shengyuan gave him a cold look and questioned, "What? Is His Royal Highness the Yan King very busy? So busy that he doesn't even have time to see me, the Imperial Envoy?"

"His Royal Highness is discussing with General Zhou and the others..."

Jiang Bo's expression changed. Before he could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Li Shengyuan.

"Hurry up! This official has important matters to discuss with His Royal Highness the Yan King. Tell him to put aside other matters. If you delay, it will cost you your head!"

The murderous aura on Li Shengyuan's body suddenly erupted, and the bloody scent he had just acquired at the marketplace poured onto Steward Jiang Bo. Even the steward, who had a Grade 5 cultivation, instantly turned pale and his body gradually went limp.

As the steward of the Prince Yans Mansion, he was considered a well-known figure in Yanwang City and even in the Northern Border Three Prefectures.

But in front of Li Shengyuan, he was still far too inferior.

Even if he were killed on the spot, and it was claimed that he had impaled himself on the blade, no one would dare say anything.

Steward Jiang Bo quickly nodded in fear and replied, "Lord Li, please wait in the front hall first. This old servant will go and inform His Royal Highness now."

"Mm, go."

Li Shengyuan's expression returned to normal. Led by a servant, they arrived at a front hall.

Li Shengyuan had a guess about what important matters Mu Yunxiao and Zhou Bing were discussing; these people were nothing more than conspiring on how to kill him.

He curled his lips in disdain. Li Shengyuan found a seat in the front hall and began to drink the top-grade spiritual tea produced by the Qingyang Sect in the Northern Border Three Prefectures.

Fortunately, Mu Yunxiao did not make him wait too long.

Mu Yunxiao, with a faint smile, entered the front hall with his right-hand man, Zhou Bing, and the Governor of Jizhou, Xu Zhiqing.

Li Shengyuan glanced at the three of them, then continued to calmly drink his tea, showing no intention of rising to greet them.

Upon entering, Mu Yunxiao looked at Li Shengyuan with an admiring expression and praised him profusely:

"Lord Li is truly remarkable! Now all the common people outside are unanimously saying that you've done a good job!"

"If only Lord Li had come to Yanwang City earlier, then corrupt officials and scoundrels could have been rooted out sooner, and the lives of our Northern Border people would have been much better." After a moment of sighing, he continued with a smile:

"But it's not too late now. Lord Li's prestige is immense. May I ask what your next plan is?"

Li Shengyuan calmly drank the spiritual tea, his expression unruffled, while inwardly scoffing, 'Come to the Northern Border earlier? So you can get me killed sooner, right?'

He secretly curled his lips, then chuckled, "If I had come earlier, all the officials in His Royal Highness's Yanwang City would have been killed by me, and then there would be no officials left to use."

The Governor of Jizhou, Xu Zhiqing, also darkened his expression. As the highest official in Jizhou, wasn't Li Shengyuan implying that he himself was incompetent, and that he and his subordinates were all useless scoundrels?

Mu Yunxiao also said with a forced smile, "Lord Li truly loves to joke. People like Xu Mingzhi are ultimately only a minority, and such individuals are found everywhere."

"Lord Li, please tell us your next plan!"

Li Shengyuan took one last sip of the spiritual tea, set it aside, and his smile completely vanished. He looked directly at Mu Yunxiao and said solemnly, "The next plan is very simple: to eradicate the biggest cancer in the Northern Border!"

"Who is Lord Li referring to?"

Mu Yunxiao and the other two felt their hearts tighten, but quickly relaxed.

It seemed he wasn't talking about them...

Li Shengyuan then said indifferently, "One of the Northern Border's eight top sects, the Giant Spirit Hall!"
