Chapter 257: If Provincial Governor is a Bad Guy, Empty the Provincial Governor’s Mansion Too
Seeing the expression of the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor, Lei Zhan and the other three felt somewhat awkward.
As four dignified Martial Emperors, they couldn’t even deal with two brats. It would be quite embarrassing if word got out.
“Provincial Governor Long, those are no ordinary brats.”
Lei Zhan shook his head and sighed, “Although they haven’t reached the Martial Emperor realm, they are already capable of instantly killing Peak Martial Saints. Moreover, they are cunning by nature and very difficult to deal with. The foundations of our two Sacred Grounds, including the Skill Repository, Treasure Pavilion, Pill Pavilion, and others, have all been emptied by those two brats.”
“Thunder Sect was also emptied?”
Sect Master Wang and the others turned to look at Lei Zhan. So the previous attack on Thunder Sect was also the work of those two brats.
“Brats who can instantly kill Peak Martial Saints?”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor paused while drinking his tea, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. “Interesting. Now I’m quite curious about those two brats.”
The Divine Spear Sect’s Grand Elder Supreme said urgently, “Provincial Governor Long, those two brats are going to take the teleportation formation in the provincial city. Please order the teleportation formation to be closed immediately.”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor secretly transmitted a message to the commander in charge of guarding the teleportation formation, but on the surface, he remained calm, leisurely taking a sip of tea. He said, “Those two brats haven’t provoked me. If they want to use the teleportation formation, as long as they pay enough spirit stones, I have no reason to stop them.”
Reason?
Lei Zhan and the other three exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of annoyance in the other’s eyes.
Wasn’t this an obvious demand for benefits?
However, when under someone else’s roof, one has to lower their head.
To stop those two brats, they would inevitably have to pay a price.
Lei Zhan said, “We only want to retrieve the treasures that originally belonged to our two Sacred Grounds. As for the treasures of those two brats…”
He paused, then continued, “Those two brats have two divine artifacts on them. We can let Provincial Governor Long have these two divine artifacts. As for the other treasures, our two Sacred Grounds will split them evenly. What does Provincial Governor Long think?”
“Divine artifacts?”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor suddenly looked up, shock appearing on his face for the first time. “Are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Those two brats really have divine artifacts?”
“Absolutely certain.”
Sect Master Wang nodded and said, “If not for relying on divine artifacts, no matter how strong those two brats are, they haven’t entered the Martial Emperor realm. How could they withstand our attacks?”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor narrowed his eyes slightly. He was now basically certain that these four must have coveted the divine artifacts on those two brats, thus angering them and leading to the emptying of the two Sacred Grounds’ foundations.
However, he didn’t expose them. He smiled and asked, “You just searched the provincial city with your Emperor’s Sense. Did you find anything?”
“No.”
Lei Zhan shook his head. “Those two brats don’t have any fluctuations of True Qi or Laws. They are very difficult to find.”
“No fluctuations of True Qi or Laws?”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor was stunned. Weren’t they just ordinary people then?
But how could ordinary people instantly kill Peak Martial Saints and escape from Martial Emperors?
Could it be that one of the two divine artifacts on them can completely conceal their aura?
Thinking of this, the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor nodded and said, “Alright, I hope they really have divine artifacts. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to explain to the merchant guilds entering and exiting the provincial city and the disciples from other provinces.”
“Provincial Governor Long, rest assured. We would naturally not deceive you in this matter.”
Thunder Sect’s Grand Elder Supreme said firmly.
“Just wait. I’ve already sent a message to the teleportation formation guard commander. As soon as any children are found trying to use the teleportation formation, we will be notified immediately,” the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor said with a smile.
The Divine Spear Sect’s Grand Elder Supreme frowned and said, “Those two brats are very strong. Shouldn’t we go there ourselves?”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor glanced at him and said lightly, “Do you think if you appear there, those two brats will still use the teleportation formation?”
“This!”
The Divine Spear Sect’s Grand Elder Supreme was instantly stunned.
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor continued, “Moreover, you just entered the provincial city and blatantly searched with your Emperor’s Sense. You must have already alerted those two brats. They are probably hiding somewhere and won’t go to the teleportation formation at all. In my opinion, you should first suffer a little. Let me drive you out of the provincial city so that those two brats will mistakenly think that I’m not with you. This way, they will lower their guard. As long as they go to use the teleportation formation, I will naturally capture them. You can come back then.”
◈◈◈
Lei Zhan pondered for a moment and said, “Provincial Governor Long’s words make sense.”
“Then, I apologize for the offense.”
The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor smiled slightly, then resolutely launched an attack, shouting angrily, “What do your enemies have to do with my Provincial Governor’s Mansion? How dare you act so arrogantly in my provincial city? Do you think my Provincial Governor’s Mansion is defenseless?”
The pressure of a Late Stage Martial Emperor swept through the entire provincial city, alarming all the cultivators.
“Provincial Governor Long is fighting with the Martial Emperors of the two Sacred Grounds?”
The cultivators looked at the sky above the Provincial Governor’s Mansion in shock. The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor was fighting against four Martial Emperors alone. They couldn’t quite process what was happening.
“Humph! Unreasonable.”
Lei Zhan and the others resisted the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor’s attacks while retreating, cursing the Provincial Governor in their hearts for being inhuman.
He said it was just an act, but he was actually serious.
Every attack was real, without holding back.
The power of a Late Stage Martial Emperor was truly terrifying.
They knew that this was the Provincial Governor’s way of disciplining them, putting them in their place, and reminding them not to play any tricks.
After resisting for a while, Lei Zhan and the other three tore through space and left. The Lei Zhou Provincial Governor didn’t chase after them but returned to the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
Somewhere in the provincial city, a man watched Lei Zhan and the other three leave, breathing a sigh of relief. He muttered to himself, “Who could it be that angered four Martial Emperors enough to chase them into the provincial city? It shouldn’t be me, right? I remember that the relationship between Cangzhou and Leizhou is only average. Cangzhou shouldn’t be able to call upon four Martial Emperors from Leizhou to chase after me. Never mind, I’ll wait a bit longer before using the teleportation formation.”
Thinking of this, he continued to lie low.
In another part of the provincial city, a large group of three or four-year-old children were playing with mud.
Suddenly, a three-year-old toddler whispered, “Wow! Big Sister, that Lei Zhou Provincial Governor is so powerful.”
“He is quite powerful. He actually drove those four bad guys away.”
The three-year-old girl next to him nodded, her big, round eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
After entering the provincial city, they had already removed their masks and changed their appearances, hiding among a group of children.
When they sensed the Emperor’s Sense of the four Martial Emperors, they didn’t dare to go to the teleportation formation, fearing they would be exposed.
“Big Sister, can we go to the teleportation formation now?”
Chu Chen asked impatiently.
Chu Xin found a place to sit down and took out the book “Thirty-Six Stratagems” to read again.
“Book, drawing!”
A group of little brats immediately surrounded her, pointing at the book in Chu Xin’s hands and happily shouting a few words.
“You little brats wouldn’t understand this book. Go play somewhere else.”
Chu Chen waved his hand and said impatiently.
He was completely unaware that he was about the same age as them, even younger than some of them.
However, since birth, they had been refined by their father, and both their physical strength and intelligence were far beyond that of ordinary children.
After a while, Chu Xin put away the book, thought for a moment, and said, “For safety’s sake, let’s send our Battle Bodies to test it out first. Let’s first see if that Provincial Governor is a good person. If that Provincial Governor is also a bad guy, we’ll empty his Provincial Governor’s Mansion too.”
