278 Breakthrough (2/2)
Fang Yuan was cunning and it would be practically impossible to find him in the large district town.
”Wait up!”
The Eagle Lieutenant was a well-built man with sharp eyes and a menacing look. He quickly waved his hands and after a few moments, a constable arrived with an official document. ”Sir, we've checked his background!”
”Hmm? Fang Yun? He doesn't have a history at all! He's a phoney!”
After reading a few lines of the document, he could deduce what had happened. ”The few of you are too lax!”
”Sir, please forgive us!”
The constable shivered and broke out in cold sweat.
He knew the unspoken rule. The higher up had to do this not because of money, but because they were forced to.
After all, these people with fake identities would generally have martial arts. They might even be a Wu Zong or a spiritual knight! If they become angry, no one could handle them!
”Forget it...”
The Eagle Lieutenant could guess what had happened and did not continue to probe further. Instead, he started to look around at the surroundings.
After a while, he gave a gentle expression. ”We're fortunate that he is just a new Wu Zong and has no evil intentions... But he really has the guts to breakthrough in the middle of the city, hehe... does he really think that no one is in charge of this place?”
The others felt a little depressed after hearing it.
It was indeed surprising that he did not attempt his breakthrough in the forest or wilderness, but right in the centre of the bustling city!”
”Since he has left on his own accord, it means that he has no evil intentions. However, we will still have to file a report for this and do the necessary investigations...”
The lieutenant mulled for a while before coming to a decision. ”Search carefully and tighten security during your patrols!”
This was just trying to ensure peace in the district town.
”Smart move, Sir!”
The few soldiers bowed and heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Fang Yuan did not commit any heinous crime, no one would be willing to risk their lives fighting a Wu Zong.
After all, among all of them, only the lieutenant had broken through to the realm of elemental force. All of them were unnecessary and a burden if they were to engage Fang Yuan.
Seeing this, the lieutenant shook his head and sighed.
If it was in his younger days, he would want to serve the country with all his might. But now, as he grew older, he had to consider for his family before acting rashly.
This was only normal as he was a human.
...
It was nightfall.
The moon was extremely beautiful.
In the government office, a few constables fainted. The lieutenant was enraged. ”What audacity! How dare you enter the government office without permission and use your demonic techniques? Are you not afraid that you will be captured by our soldiers?”
The Eagle Lieutenant was furious. Looking at the few people in white around him, there was a look of fear and anger on his face.
Although his district might not be able to handle these people, it would become a big case and the Imperial Court would surely bring them to justice!
Even the normal evil highly-skilled martial artists or cults had to be wary!
By then, soldiers from the county and region would gather. These people were just ants and were extremely easy to kill.
”Hehe... I'm really scared!”
With a gentle laughter, a girl in white robes descended. She had a fragrance and her eyes were beautiful. ”But... How will your Da Qian Imperial Court deal with my Divine Lotus Cult?”
”Ah... you're a demon from the Divine Lotus Cult!”
The Eagle Lieutenant shrieked, turned around and started to run!
Normal spiritual knights, sects and powerful families might fear the Imperial Court, but this would not include the 5 alliances of the dream masters!
This was especially so for the Divine Lotus Cult! Previously, they were involved in an assassination of an official of a region. The Imperial Court was infuriated and sent out highly skilled martial artists to deal with the cult. For 10 years, both sides had suffered losses and in the end, there was no conclusion.
Compared to an official of a region, he was only a small Eagle Lieutenant! What could he do?
Therefore, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
”Hehe... I like smart people!”
”Stop!”
The Eagle Lieutenant was extremely quick. As he leapt, he managed to emerge out and was about to jump across the walls.
Suddenly, there was a voice. His nose picked up an intoxicating fragrance and it was as though a person was next to him, whispering into his eats.
”8 Forms of Magical Dragon, to the ends of the world!”
The well-built man bit his tongue and snapped out of his trance. Suddenly, there was an illusionary shadow of a blood dragon appearing on his legs.
At the same time, there were many white flower petals raining down in the vicinity. As the white petals landed on him, they entered his body.
”I cannot sleep! I cannot sleep!”
The lieutenant was shouting to himself, but even the sharp pain on his tongue was not enough to wake him up. As his eyes slowly shut, he could vaguely see the people in white approaching him. Finally, he could no longer resist and fainted.
”Dream accessing!”
Meng Lian walked up. With an innocent look, she placed a smooth and white finger on the forehead of the lieutenant.
After a while, she opened her eyes with a look of shock. ”It is Fang Yuan indeed. He has escaped! Quickly search for him!”
”Yes!”
The people in white bowed and vanished in a second.
