The previously uninterested two Qi Transformation Stage cultivators’ eyes sparkled as they saw the items scattered on the ground.

Among the monster tribe, those spirit fruits Hoe Yao has might not stand out. However, in human society where there is a huge demand for spirit objects, the value of these spirit fruits and objects is extremely high.

Especially those few broken scales with fresh blood stains, the remaining aura on them made their hearts quiver.

The two Qi Transformation Stage cultivators simply waved their hands and ordered the spirit objects on the ground to be collected:

“These things are all stolen loot, seize them quickly!”

“All other participants of the Dragon Sovereign Banquet are accomplices, seize all their possessions!”

Such overpowering behavior angered everyone. But when their gaze landed on those two Qi Transformation Stage cultivators, the will to resist suddenly extinguished by more than half.

That’s because both Qi Transformation Stage cultivators were clearly wearing badges of the provincial military captain, indicating that they represented the Qing Province military. They were not opponents that they could fight against.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing the actions of these military officers, Liao Yuan stood up from his seat and scolded them angrily.

The two provincial military captains glanced at each other, and one of them said seriously:

“Lord Liao, although you are the governor of Qing Province, this matter is under the jurisdiction of our military.

Are you not afraid of breaking the rules by intervening rashly?”

“The military’s matter?” Liao Yuan laughed in anger.

“I don’t know when the jurisdiction of the provincial military included colluding with the monster tribe?

Moreover, they’ve been with us since they escaped from the Dragon Sovereign’s Banquet. From where did your provincial military get the information that they were colluding with the monster tribe?”

The brows of the two captains furrowed tightly, and one of them said displeasedly:

“Our military has its own channels. We don’t need to inform Lord Governor.”

“Own channels?” Liao Yuan sneered:

“I think it’s because they exposed the transaction between your Liu Family and the Fubo Dragon Monarch, so the eager Inspector Liu wants to kill them to conceal the truth, right?

It seems that the matter involving Liu Yao has greatly affected the Liu Family and they are planning to take action immediately after the disaster.”

One of the captains glanced deeply at Liao Yuan and ordered directly:

“Take them all away!”

His words completely disregarded Liao Yuan’s attitude.

Liao Yuan’s face suddenly turned gloomy, and the Qi Transformation Stage aura erupted in an instant:

“I’d like to see who dares to make a move!”

The expressions of the two captains from the Liu Family changed, and at the same time, mana surged in their bodies. They stood against Liao Yuan without giving in.

The sudden conflict completely changed the situation, with the guns outside the helicopter all aimed at the cabin.

However, the direction these guns were aimed at was Liao Yuan, who was the governor.

Liu Yi, who had been watching coldly all this time, finally stood up slowly and said to Liao Yuan in a gentle voice:

“Why is Lord thinking of rebelling?”

“I’m rebelling?”

Liao Yuan said angrily: “I represent the Emperor in governing Qing Province. I am responsible for all affairs in Qing Province.

Your Liu Family has been running wild in Qing Province. I think it’s you who are plotting treason!”

Liu Yi shook his head seriously and said:

“My Liu Family has been thriving in Qing Province for thousands of years. We have branches in various provinces of Qing Province, and all generations of our family’s head have been the provincial leaders. Our family friends and former officials are spread all over Qing Province.

No government office can operate independently without the people of my Liu Family, and no industry can refuse the investment of my Liu Family.

In Qing Province, my Liu Family represents the will of tens of millions of people in Qing Province. To go against the will of my Liu Family is to rebel!”

Liu Yi spoke resolutely, his attitude in stating these words was unambiguous, as if stating a fact known to all.

“If Lord Governor doesn’t believe it, you can try issuing an order to the provincial government office and let them send someone to take Hoe Yao away.

If Lord Governor can summon a person, I will let Hoe Yao go without saying a word!”

“To tell the Lord Governor the truth, the order to arrest the members of the Dragon Sovereign Banquet was not issued by Liu Yu, but was a decision made by our family head in person. Even Liu Yu didn’t have the right to refuse.

This isn’t the internal power struggle of the provincial government office anymore. It is the wrath of the head of my Liu Family. So, I advise Lord Governor not to miscalculate!”

As the words fell, several soldiers immediately escorted Hoe Yao away from the helicopter.

He Yao’s eyes were blazing with fury, struggling to resist, but a slap from the captain landed on his face. The sheer force nearly knocked him out.

“Behave yourself!”

Liao Yuan silently watched everything. Half a year after becoming the Governor of Qing Province, he truly felt the power of the Liu Family for the first time.

Even one who governs a region like himself, the Liu family could effortlessly threaten, considering the post of provincial governor insignificant.

A large group of soldiers was escorting the survivors of the Dragon Sovereign Feast, and Liao Yuan was powerless to stop them.

The gathered soldiers had long left with Liu Yi and others, leaving only Liao Yuan alone in front of the helicopter, his face clouded with uncertainty.

Just then, a young cultivator in a bright yellow Taoist robe suddenly broke into the landing area. Upon seeing Liao Yuan in the helicopter, his eyes lit up and he said:

“Lord Liao, I’ve been looking for you for quite a while. I had to ask Inspector Liu where you were.”

Liao Yuan looked at the cultivator in the bright yellow Taoist robe with surprise, and a glimmer of hope sprang up in his heart. He quickly said:

“Custodian Liu, your visit is timely. I have a matter that I hope you can assist me with.”

Liu Yuansong was stunned and asked with confusion, “You, as the distinguished governor of Qing Province, need my help with something?”

“It’s about the Liu family.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuansong immediately waved his hands in refusal:

“My Lord Liao, please don’t drag me into this.

You are well aware of the Liu family’s status in Qing Province.”

Liao Yuan urgently said, “But you, as the Custodian of Qing Province, with the oversight authority of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, surely you’re not afraid of the insignificant Liu family?”

Liu Yuansong expressed his difficulty and said:

“The Imperial Astronomical Bureau certainly does not fear the Liu family, but there’s no meaning in provoking them. Instead, it would only make it harder for us to operate in Qing Province.

Furthemore, it seems the Liu family is actively aligning themselves with the left adviser, supporting him in setting up the Monster Suppression Department to check the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. If we stir up trouble at this juncture, it will make things very difficult for me.”

Liu Yuansong’s response thoroughly dashed Liao Yuan’s hopes.

“The survivors painstakingly escaped from the Dragon Sovereign Feast, only to be captured by the Liu family, who are fellow humans, just because they revealed the family’s wrongdoing.

With such insolence and disregard for the laws of Great Xia, can they truly cover the sky with one hand in this land of Qing Province?”

Liu Yuansong did not respond, but his tacit attitude was practically an affirmation to Liao Yuan’s words.

In Qing Province, the Liu family could indeed cover the sky with one hand.

Liao Yuan let out a long sigh, his face full of desolation.

“Custodian Liu, what brings you to see me today?”

Upon discussing this topic, a smile immediately appeared on Liu Yuansong’s face:

“I heard that Lord Liao personally witnessed the entire process of the Dongting disaster and even saw the banished immortal slaying the evil dragon in Lake Dongting.

I would like to inquire further about some of the details and the issue regarding the Fubo Dragon Monarch.”

Liao Yuan looked at Liu Yuansong with some doubt, then shook his head and said:

“Actually, we didn’t see much at the Lake Dongting, and you would have gained a lot of information from other sources.

As for the Fubo Dragon Monarch, that He Yao who was taken away should know a lot.

The expert who slayed the Fubo Dragon Monarch with a single sword strike once traveled with He Yao for some time.”

“What did you say?”

Liu Yuansong inadvertently shrieked in surprise, his voice piercingly sharp and slightly hysterical.

“The He Yao who was taken away, he traveled with the one who killed the Fubo Dragon Monarch?”

Liao Yuan was somewhat surprised. Why did this piece of news startle Liu Yuansong so much?

“Although it’s something He Yao claimed, the other survivors didn’t dispute it, so there should be some connection between the two.”

“The expert you’re referring to, did he have a big tiger with yellow and black stripes beside him?”

“I think I’ve heard He Yao say so. Indeed, there was such a tiger demon. That expert also left riding the tiger demon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuansong’s expression immediately became incredibly serious.

A bright yellow talisman appeared in the hands of Liu Songyuan and a massive amount of mana was continuously infused into the talisman. A large Roaming Cloud Crane seal, symbolizing the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, appeared in the sky.

Liu Songyuan looked serious and spoke firmly:

“The Liu family has been secretly colluding with the Aquatic Tribe and wantonly harming our human clan cultivators. They must be severely punished!”
