187: Frustrated He Yan!

Chen Luomeng seemed to have taken control of the entire situation, and when she looked at He Yan, she sneered coldly.

“He Yan, you really have guts!”

“To kill a Prefectural Administrator of a prefecture just like that.”

“Who exactly gave you that power?!”

“Or rather, was Mystic Envoy Lu Xuan the one who instructed you?”

Chen Luomeng's accusatory manner made He Yan feel a sense of dread.

It was exactly as he had guessed.

These people from An Princes Mansion had traveled all the way from Qingling Prefecture to Baidao Prefecture just to find trouble with him.

He Yan naturally would not agree with Chen Luomeng's words.

These words were clearly an attempt to pin the crime of arbitrarily killing imperial officials on him.

“Luoxuan, you might have misunderstood.”

“Regarding the death of Luo Jinhe, the Prefectural Administrator of Baidao Prefecture, this Envoy also acted in accordance with imperial law.”

“According to imperial law, murderers who harm Blackbird Guard members can be executed on the spot without prior approval!”

Seeing how tight-lipped and cautious He Yan was, Chen Luomeng immediately lost interest.

“Hmph, what a sharp-tongued Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow).”

He Yan naturally ignored Chen Luomeng's insolent remarks.

He Yan had lived for most of his life; what kind of storms had he not seen?

Chen Luomeng's provocative words no longer had any effect on him.

Seeing that He Yan was unyielding, a hint of anger appeared on Chen Luomeng's beautiful face!

This Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) was truly cunning, and she had no way of dealing with him.

This made Chen Luomeng's plan to use Luo Jinhe's matter to trouble He Yan fall through.

Immediately, Chen Luomeng's tone shifted, and she stated her purpose for being there.

“Where is your Mystic Envoy Lu Xuan?”

“Our Prince wants to see him!”

“Tell him to quickly return with us to see the Prince!”

Prince An wants to see Lu Xuan?

Upon hearing this news, He Yan's expression was a bit dazed, as if he was pondering Prince An's intentions for meeting Lu Xuan.

Could it be that Prince An had guessed that Inspector Luo Jin's death was related to Lu Xuan?

But these were not issues for He Yan to consider.

Now, the problem before He Yan was, where is Lu Xuan? I don't know either.

If I knew where Mystic Envoy was, would it be your turn to boss me around?

However, it was not a good idea for these few to stay here at the Blackbird Guard.

While answering Chen Luomeng, He Yan also subtly reminded them.

“Luoxuan, this Envoy is not clear on that.”

“Why don't you all return? After Mystic Envoy returns,”

“this Envoy will convey Lord An's message to Mystic Envoy on your behalf.”

“The Blackbird Guard is an important place, and I presume that as people from An Princes Mansion, you naturally understand this principle.”

“This Envoy will not keep you esteemed guests any longer.”

How could Chen Luomeng and the others not hear He Yan's blatant intention to see them off?

However, this time, before Chen Luomeng could react, the old man who had been sitting silently beside them finally opened his eyes and stared at He Yan, saying,

“Hmph, a mere Vice Envoy, yet your tone is quite arrogant.”

“Even your Earth-Grade Vice Envoys in the Blackbird Guard wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of this old man!”

As the old man spoke, a cold light shot out from his eyes, darting towards He Yan.

Upon seeing this, He Yan's Inner Energy circulated at an extremely fast speed, and his palms collided with the cold light.

Puff!

With a muffled sound, He Yan, who had just entered the Inner Energy Realm, was sent flying like a cannonball out of the main door.

“Vice Envoy, are you alright?!”

The several Blackbird Guard members guarding the door instantly changed their expressions upon seeing He Yan being sent flying, and they quickly stepped forward to help He Yan up.

At the same time, in less than a few breaths, more than a dozen men dressed in azure Blackbird Guard uniforms quickly arrived beside He Yan.

“Revered Master!”

One of them was Su An, He Yan's disciple, who had already broken through to the Blood Refinement Realm two days prior.

“Bastards, these people dared to lay hands on you, Revered Master, I…”

Just as Su An was about to rush into the main hall, He Yan grabbed Su An's shoulder, quickly suppressing Su An's boiling Qi and Blood.

“Xiao An, don't be impulsive.”

Goodness, Su An's actions almost scared He Yan.

One must know that the Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) inside was a Martial Dao Grandmaster.

If Su An, with his small frame, went in and offended that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), what would happen?

That Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) had held back because he was a Vice Envoy of the Blackbird Guard, so He Yan was not seriously injured.

However, Su An was different; He Yan couldn't guarantee that the Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) wouldn't try to kill Su An.

Just then, Chen Luomeng and the others walked out of the main hall, still with an air of looking down on everything.

It was as if the more than a dozen Blackbird Guard members in front of them were nothing but chickens and dogs in their eyes, completely unworthy of their attention.

Chen Luomeng frowned, scanned her surroundings, and then turned to look at Lin Yu beside her.

“It seems that Lu Xuan really isn't here, Elder Lin, what should we do?”

Lin Yu's earlier move was not merely to teach He Yan a lesson.

Lin Yu wanted to see if Lu Xuan was hiding somewhere, afraid to show himself to them.

So, Lin Yu thought of acting against He Yan to see if he could force Lu Xuan out.

But now it seemed that Lu Xuan was probably not here.

They had been attacked at their doorstep; anyone would come out immediately.

“The Prince has ordered that Lu Xuan must be brought back.”

“If Lu Xuan is unwilling to return with us, then don't blame this old man.”

“We will wait here for Lu Xuan to appear.”

“This old man doesn't believe that Lu Xuan will never show himself.”

As soon as Lin Yu's idea was voiced, Chen Luomeng had no objections.

Because this idea was the same as what she had thought.

She didn't believe that Lu Xuan could be a coward forever.

“Mm, then let's do as Elder Lin says!”

“You few, go find a few rooms and clean them thoroughly.”

Chen Luomeng naturally commanded the guards behind her, as if this place were her own mansion.

The ignored Blackbird Guard members on the side only felt a wave of indignation and powerlessness wash over them.

However, they were not as reckless as Su An and did not attack Chen Luomeng and the others.

Because Vice Envoy He Yan, an Inner Energy Realm Martial Artist, was no match for these people.

What more could they, Blood Refinement Realm Martial Artists, do? They would probably be sent flying by that terrifying Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) before they even had a chance to act.

At this moment, in the distance of the Blackbird Guard Mansion, a rapid and powerful sound of hooves, from far to near, broke the quiet atmosphere like thunder.

The figure on horseback, like the wind, swept across the Void Realm, heading towards the Blackbird Guard Mansion.

Until the fast horse approached the Blackbird Guard Mansion, it was reined in by the person on its back.

Just like that, the horse stopped steadily, standing quietly in front of the Blackbird Guard Mansion's main gate.

The person on horseback was Lu Xuan, who had rushed back from Jingtai Prefecture.
