89: What major event could it be?
After bidding farewell to the Lin Family.
Lin You once again used the Patrol Envoy teleportation gate to arrive in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain.
ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy...
"What an impressive display of official authority, Magistrate Bao!"
He just didn't know how long it would take for him to reach that level and retrieve the other half of the token.
...
Patrol Envoy Branch Office.
On the main seat.
Feng Lang was restless, his gaze frequently sweeping across the outside of the hall as if he were checking for something.
His eyes darted around restlessly in their sockets.
Even without saying a word, one could sense his desperate will to survive.
The Patrol Envoys below looked at each other in confusion.
They had not participated in the previous battle, nor did they even know what had happened.
They only thought that the few Myriad Realms Inspectors had been sent on a mission and were therefore not in the hall.
Seeing the sweat pouring uncontrollably from Feng Lang's forehead at this moment.
"My Lord?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Feng Lang waved his hand, a flash of annoyance appearing in his eyes.
"It's nothing."
"No need to worry about me."
"Have the Patrol Envoys you sent out returned with any results yet?"
Someone immediately replied respectfully.
"We have already notified the Patrol Envoy of the Fourth-Rank Star Domain."
"He will send people over in a few days."
"As for the Sixth-Rank Star Domain... there is no news yet. The brothers who went there have not returned."
Feng Lang urged, "Keep investigating. Quickly, the faster the better. Pay even closer attention to the Fourth-Rank Star Domain; tell them to send more experts over."
"Tell them something major has happened here, the more people, the better."
Feng Lang suppressed the panic in his heart and issued the order.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
Right now, he was suffering in silence, unable to voice his bitterness.
He had originally thought that by working with Xu Sanguang of the Liuguang Clan, he could simply kill Lin You.
At that time, there would be no proof.
As the branch leader of the Fifth-Rank Star Domain Patrol Envoy Branch Office, he could say whatever he wanted.
But who could have imagined... that Lin You would actually Breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm.
And at the Peak Profound Immortal Realm at that!
His cultivation combined with that god-like combat power.
It scared him so much that he fled a thousand miles away on the spot.
But now that he had returned, where else could he go!
In the end, he still had to stay in this death trap.
Report it upward?
He couldn't explain it to the Fourth-Rank Star Domain; a Patrol Envoy colluding with a Clan was a major taboo!
Once exposed, his life would be over.
But Lin You's murderous intent made him unable to sleep at night.
He knew that this guy would return sooner or later!
He could only send people to inquire about Lin You's whereabouts, to see if there was any possibility of reconciliation.
On the other hand, he urgently contacted the Patrol Envoy of the Fourth-Rank Star Domain for reinforcements.
He had to survive first.
As for what would happen afterward, he couldn't think that far ahead!
Suddenly, Feng Lang stood up abruptly from his chair, his gaze fixed outside the hall.
There... an aura of the Peak Profound Immortal Realm was rushing straight toward them.
—Thump...
Feng Lang was so scared his legs went weak, and he stumbled backward, tripping over the table and chair behind him.
"Quick!"
"Guard the gates!"
"No one is allowed to take a single step inside!"
He said, trembling. Although the Patrol Envoys below were confused, they still obeyed.
—Clang. Long, dazzling blades were drawn from their waists.
The entire hall was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.
Feng Lang's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and his own aura gradually climbed to its Peak.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to muster up some courage.
They were both at the Peak Profound Immortal Realm; if they really fought... he might not be unable to escape!
The aura swept to the door, slowly stepping down from the Void Realm.
Heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall.
At the door.
Stopped.
As if puzzled, carrying a hint of obvious impatience.
—Bang...
—Bang bang...
The doors were knocked on heavily.
Feng Lang felt his heart jump into his throat.
He drew the long blade from his waist with a swish.
That guy, he really came!
—Bang bang bang...
The knocking became faster and faster.
Everyone could feel the impatience of the figure outside the door.
A Heavenly Patrol Envoy said softly, "My Lord, should I... open the door and take a look?"
Feng Lang cursed angrily, sweat pouring from his forehead like rain:
"Open your uncle! No one is allowed to open it. Whoever dares to open the door today, I will kill his whole family! No one is allowed to enter or leave this hall!"
Suddenly, the knocking outside stopped.
Just as everyone was confused, a heaven-shaking explosion rang out.
Immediately after, the hall doors were violently shattered.
Blinding sunlight shone in from outside the hall, and only one figure, illuminated by the sun, cast a long shadow.
"Kill!"
Unable to contain the fear in his heart any longer, Feng Lang shouted sharply.
But the next second, a strange voice rang out.
"Feng Lang, have you lost your mind?"
"If you want to die, I don't mind taking care of you for the Lord,"
"Killing a Patrol Envoy without authorization is a major crime!"
The figure slowly walked into the hall, looking at the surrounding Heavenly Patrol Envoys.
He couldn't help but frown.
One hand slowly reached toward his waist, and he said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, think carefully."
"I am a Patrol Envoy from the Fourth-Rank Star Domain. According to the rules, you must address me as My Lord."
"If you lay a hand on me, your nine generations will be wiped out!"
Feng Lang's gaze fell on the person's waist, and he saw the person's Face clearly.
A stern, chiseled Face.
Who else could it be but his colleague, Mu Hong?
He let out a long sigh of relief, his entire body collapsing into his chair.
"Holy crap."
"Big brother?"
"You came, so you came, what's with hiding your aura?"
"I couldn't even detect you with my Divine Sense."
"Put them down, put them down, it's a misunderstanding. This is a colleague sent from the Fourth-Rank Star Domain."
The Patrol Envoys looked at each other, standing there in a daze.
Mu Hong stepped forward, staring at Feng Lang, and asked suspiciously.
"When a Patrol Envoy is out, if they don't hide their cultivation, are they supposed to tell everyone that they are here?"
"Even a guy who just joined knows this."
"Old Feng, you've made it to Third-Rank Patrol Envoy, what's going on?"
After a lecture, Feng Lang couldn't squeeze out a single word for a long time.
He swept his gaze over the present Patrol Envoys and had to mumble:
"Why are you the only one?"
"Didn't I ask the Lord to send at least ten colleagues?"
Mu Hong frowned and said sharply, "Ten? Should I just give you a hundred people?"
"Have you lost your mind!"
"Why don't you just order the Lord to come too."
"You sent a message saying there was an important mission. The Lord cannot get away in the Fourth-Rank Star Domain, there is no spare manpower."
"That's why I was sent to ask about the situation!"
Looking at the Heavenly Patrol Envoys in the hall, Feng Lang hurriedly pulled the other person, intending to leave.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's step aside to talk."
Mu Hong pushed him away and refused, "Cut the crap, be direct. I have other important matters to attend to."
"If it weren't for the fact that we know each other."
"I wouldn't even bother getting involved with a guy like you who just eats and waits for death."
"Back then, there were two paths. I asked you to go to the Fourth-Rank Star Domain to serve, where you would have a chance to enter the Longevity Family, but you didn't want to."
"You wanted to hole up here and throw your weight around."
"Now you say there's a big deal. In the Fifth-Rank Star Domain, what big deal could there possibly be?"
"Don't tell me you've spent your whole life here and can't even handle this little relationship; small matters can be handled directly by the Patrol Envoy."
"Even if it's a bit troublesome, there are many local Clans; who wouldn't give some Face?"
The more Mu Hong lectured, the more energetic he became, chattering incessantly.
The two had chosen completely different paths.
Feng Lang was stationed in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain; his career had effectively reached its end.
But he still had a chance to become a ChangSheng Proclamation Envoy.
That was the Longevity Family; even just getting a little bit of their favor would allow one to gallop across the Myriad Realms!
Feng Lang was full of anxiety, "I understand, I understand everything."
"Let's go somewhere else, and I'll explain everything to you. Can we?"
Just as Mu Hong hesitated. Suddenly, another voice came from the hall entrance.
"Oh?"
"There's a new friend."
"It's been a few days, it's quite lively here!"
Feng Lang's heart sank.
"Damn it."
The big deal had come knocking on his door.
