628 Have A Talk (2/2)
Finally, a Demonic Immortal realized that something was wrong and ventured to ask him.
”There's no need to chase them. They're here for the Thunder Emperor's touring abode. We will know when they open the Thunder Emperor's touring abode is opened, and then we'll find them!” He raised his eyes. ”Gui Wucang, investigate who they are, right now. Especially the guy who used the hammers!”
”Yes, Your Excellency!” Gui Wucang was a Demonic Immortal at the Lord of Heaven Realm. He had regular features and an unsophisticated manner.
”Your Excellency, isn't that the guy you suppressed? You can just torture him. There's no need to investigate him!” An inopportune voice was ringing in everyone's ears. Everyone looked up at the speaker. Their expressions changed. The speaker was the master of the Desolate Sea Area, Young Master An.
Young Master An was a cuttlefish spirit, but he was good-looking. His peach blossom eyes wandered over Administrator Zhang and the crowd around him. No one knew what he was thinking.
Administrator Zhang felt a pang of anger when he saw Young Master An. He had been the furthest away from the battle, watching with relish like a bystander, with no intention of fighting. He didn't seem to care if there were casualties on his side, which made Administrator Zhang want to hit him. The question touched Administrator Zhang's sore spot, and his fat face darkened.
”I have my plan for this, and you do not need to question me. But you, Young Master An, the Desolate Sea Area is under your control. There's something going on here, yet you don't even know what's happening. You even knew about the Thunder Emperor's touring abode from me. What is that you do as a Pacification Officer?”
”Administrator Zhang, you have to be kidding. The Desolate Sea Area has never had an accident under my rule. As for the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, hehe, the Thunder Emperor of antiquity times is mighty. With my meager strength, how could I know that there might be traces of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode here? If I was that capable, I would not be the Pacification Officer of such a small place. I would be an officer in the Office of Political Affairs. Don't you agree?”
”Humph!” Administrator Zhang gave a snort of contempt. What Young Master An said was not worth listening to, but it made sense. The entrance to the Ancient Ruins, whether in the Seven-deity Regions or the Sea Area, was a secret. It was not easy to find. There were many people who had been practicing here all their lives yet did not know that the ruins of the ancient sect were at their feet. Even though he did not like Young Master An, he could not use it to punish him.
In theory, the Administrator ruled several parts of the Sea Area. But he generally did not have much control over others except for a few that were directly under him. The whole power structure was very loose.
The boss had no absolute power over his subordinates.
”Leaving aside the past, the practitioners are in your jurisdiction. You will investigate their whereabouts. As soon as you find any trace of them, report it to me. Do you understand?”
”I understand, rest assured, Your Excellency!” Young Master An smiled and saluted him with his hands folded. Then he left, ignoring Administrator Zhang's evil glare.
”Your Excellency Administrator, he is too outrageous! Should I—!” Discontented with Young Master An's manner, Gui Wucang squinted with a murderous look, and approached Administrator Zhang.
”Don't rush. The Thunder Emperor's touring abode matters are of great importance. Don't create side issues!” Administrator Zhang shook his head.
”Yes!” Gui Wucang answered. He left to investigate details about Zhou Bao as Administrator Zhang ordered.
Administrator Zhang looked up. He waved his sleeves, and said to the Demonic Immortals around him, ”You can go now.”
”Yes, Your Excellency!” The Demonic Immortals left at once, and Administrator Zhang was left alone in the moor.
”Boy, let's have a talk, okay?”
Administrator Zhang had been thinking. He had an air of authority before the Demonic Immortals, but in his heart he was very annoyed. Anyone in his place would be annoyed. Zhou Bao was collecting his Icy Divine Light, something he cherished as his life in his Self-world, and he had no way to drive him out. He had to consult with Zhou Bao keeping a low profile.
”Have a talk? About what?”
”About the Icy Divine Light. You know, it's very precious to me. If you take it all, I will lose at least 70 percent of my strength. Please go easy on me!”
