Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Yuan City, the provincial capital of the Eastern Frontier Province, has a branch of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion here.

Each branch not only conducts business but also secretly gathers intelligence and news from various regions, which is then filtered and reported to the main branch in each area.

The Immortal Treasure Pavilion's intelligence network is extensive, with small strongholds in every city.

Intelligence personnel usually disguise themselves with various identities.

Jun Wuxie originally intended to go directly to the intelligence point according to the address provided by the chief manager of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion headquarters.

Unexpectedly, the place was deserted, and not a single shadow could be seen.

He had no choice but to go to the Yuan City Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Here, he met the chief manager of the Yuan City branch, a woman who appeared to be around thirty years old, with a cultivation in the early Origin Realm.

With such a realm, she should be an invincible existence in Yuan City.

Even a group of managers in the Hongmeng Realm below her could walk around sideways.

But now, they seemed to have opponents.

Otherwise, the intelligence organization's stronghold in the city would not have been deserted.

Obviously, the stronghold had been exposed, and to avoid accidents, it had been abandoned, and all personnel had been evacuated.

"Subordinate greets公子."

The chief manager of the Yuan City branch bowed to him and then sighed, "This subordinate is incompetent, knowing that公子 came here to investigate the blood sacrifice in the Eastern Frontier, but has not been able to find out more information. Now, even many strongholds have to be temporarily abandoned…"

"This is not your problem. Firstly, the opponent knows the existence of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in each city. With premeditation against your lack of preparation, they can gain an advantage in front of you.

Moreover, the current rules of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion still do not allow participation in disputes, so you cannot directly confront them and can only suffer in silence for now."

"This subordinate thanks公子 for your tolerance and understanding."

The chief manager of the Yuan City branch did not expect him to be so easy to talk to.

She had thought that she would be blamed a few words at least.

But unexpectedly, he did not say a word of blame, did not show any intention of blaming, and even comforted her instead.

She poured tea for Jun Wuxie while saying, "Since the establishment of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, it should not have suffered such a loss.

Since ancient times, people have deliberately avoided the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in their actions.

Over time, a mindset has formed in the hearts of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion people, leading to a lack of vigilance in this regard.

In fact, this subordinate is unwilling to accept this.

But now, this subordinate can't do anything and is very passive…"

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile.

He knew the chief manager's thoughts. Having suffered a loss, she wanted to fight back; otherwise, the anger in her heart could not be vented, which was very uncomfortable.

"Do you feel aggrieved in your heart?"

"Not to hide it from公子, this subordinate does feel aggrieved.

Our Immortal Treasure Pavilion is all over the world and has never feared any force or anyone.

Now that we are being provoked like this, but have not received orders to fight back, this subordinate is indeed uncomfortable.

Now, this subordinate's branch has lost many intelligence strongholds in the Eastern Frontier, and this subordinate is naturally aggrieved. Please公子 decide for this subordinate!"

The chief manager of the branch actually knelt down in front of him as she spoke.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Jun Wuxie did not expect her to do this, which showed how aggrieved she was and how much she wanted to fight back.

He reached out to help, trying to lift the chief manager of the branch, but she stubbornly knelt on the ground, unmoving.

A strong person in the Origin Realm cannot be pulled up if they do not want to get up.

"If公子 does not agree, this subordinate will not get up!"

The chief manager of the branch looked up at Jun Wuxie, her mature and beautiful face full of stubbornness.

"You are not obedient at all."

Jun Wuxie frowned, this was becoming coercive.

"公子, this subordinate is not disobedient, but just feels aggrieved. Please公子 make the decision for this subordinate.

If公子 agrees, this subordinate will get up."

"If you like kneeling, then continue kneeling."

Jun Wuxie released his hand and sat back down.

"公子, how can you do this…"

The chief manager of the Yuan City branch was stunned.

She had originally thought that Young Master Yuan Chu was easy to talk to, and that using this trick would allow him to agree.

As long as公子 gave the word to make the decision for her, the chief manager of the imperial city headquarters would have no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly,公子's face changed instantly.

For a time, she was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"Look at your expression, are you still feeling aggrieved here?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her face full of grievance, her eyes misty, and felt very speechless.

"As a subordinate, you are not keeping to your duty, and you are actually using this method to force my hand.

No matter what your starting point is, it is not good behavior."

"公子, this subordinate knows her mistake, and only asks公子 to make the decision, and this subordinate is willing to accept any punishment."

"You are really persistent.

Get up."

The chief manager of the branch did not move.

"Get up!"

Jun Wuxie gave a stern shout.

She was startled, it seemed that公子 was really angry, and immediately stood up in a panic, her hands and feet at a loss.

"Sit down, let's talk properly."

Jun Wuxie's tone softened.

The chief manager of the branch secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite her.

"How to counterattack, when to counterattack, and how to counterattack are decisions for your headquarters in the imperial city to make, not something you should worry about.

If you really feel aggrieved, you can start from now and cut off business dealings with Marquis Champion.

As the chief manager here, you should know that although there are mysterious forces supporting the blood sacrifice in the Eastern Frontier, the implementer is Chi Ren, Marquis Champion.

Marquis Champion is Liang Huang's confidant, his right and left hand.

And the ultimate goal of the blood sacrifice in the Eastern Frontier is to serve Liang Huang."

"公子 is wise, this is a good idea.

However, if this affects the Xiaoyong Army's battle with the Eastern Turkic army, what should we do?"

"It won't affect it in the short term.

The sky of Great Liang will change very quickly.

Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Then… if this subordinate does these things without authorization, what if the headquarters blames me?"

"Just say it was my decision, who would dare to blame you?"

"This subordinate thanks公子 for making the decision!"

The chief manager of the branch was overjoyed, finally able to vent her anger, and not just wait idly by without being able to do anything.

"Tell me, what news have you recently found out?"

"We have received very little news recently, only knowing that several cities may have already been blood sacrificed.

Now they are preparing to blood sacrifice other cities.

Our strongholds have been abandoned, and the specific situation is unknown, so we cannot find out detailed information.

We can only analyze based on the movements of the Xiaoyong Army, and it is difficult to guarantee that the results of the analysis are accurate."

"Which cities?"

"Xia Ye, Qi Xun, Feng Ling, three cities, the blood sacrifice should have started some time ago.

Our people also encountered attacks when approaching those cities, and paid a considerable price to break through, and some almost died.

Now, those who are preparing for blood sacrifice should be Qiu Shan, Qing Ye, Qi Lian and other cities.

Today, there is martial law imposed by the Xiaoyong Army near those cities.

However, we observed those cities from a distance through various means, and saw the city's ability to be seen, but could not see any clues, it seemed that everything was still as before, the order was normal, and it was lively and extraordinary."

"A great power is involved in this matter, and has done something to it, so you cannot see any flaws with your realm."

"Yes, the mysterious power behind it is extraordinary, and its methods are very clever.

We have tried our best, but have not yet found out its origin, and even do not know what kind of people they are."

"This is the reason why your headquarters in the Great Liang Imperial City has not allowed you to counterattack.

If you are allowed to confront them head-on, the result will only be that you suffer.

To deal with those people, the high-level officials of your main building in the Great Liang Imperial City have to come forward."

"Well, this subordinate also knows, but there is always a breath in my heart, and I can't be happy without it.

公子, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course, I'm going to take a look at the cities you mentioned."

"But…"

The chief manager of the branch's face changed slightly, "It is very dangerous to go to those cities, and you may be attacked and killed.

Furthermore, if Liang Huang is involved in this matter, his intention in letting公子 come here must be sinister.

Liang Huang may want公子 to be buried in the Eastern Frontier, and there happen to be people from mysterious forces colluding with Liang Huang active here.

Therefore, they may just want公子 to go, and then set up a killing game there.

This subordinate thinks that公子 should be careful.

At that time, please公子 bring this subordinate with you!"

"What's the use of bringing you, do you think you can deal with the strong men of that mysterious power?"

A slightly cold voice suddenly came from the door.

At the same time, a beautiful and intellectual mature woman walked in.

She was wearing a light blue cloud embroidered long dress, her dark and shiny blue silk was coiled into a spirit snake bun on her head, with a flowing cloud white jade hairpin inserted, and a little cinnabar peony flower between her eyebrows, charming but not without coldness.

The chief manager of the branch and Jun Wuxie both looked over when they heard the sound.

Jun Wuxie was fine, hearing these words, and looking at the person, he knew that it was from the headquarters of the Imperial City Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

The chief manager of the Yuan City branch was shocked, hurriedly got up, and walked quickly forward, "This subordinate pays homage to the Great Deputy Chief Manager, I don't know that the Great Deputy Chief Manager has come to Yuan City, and I have not welcomed you from afar, please forgive me."

"How dare this seat blame you, you are a person who knows how to use a woman's weakness in front of公子 to achieve your goals."

"Great Deputy Chief Manager, this subordinate knows her mistake…"

As soon as the chief manager of the branch heard the Great Deputy Chief Manager's words, it was clear that she had an opinion on herself in her heart.

"Knowing your mistake, do you know where you went wrong?"

The Deputy Chief Manager from the headquarters looked at her with a serious expression, her cold and beautiful face with undisguised anger.

"This subordinate…"

"Hmph! Who does he think he is? Even I, the Deputy Director-General of the headquarters, and the Director-General wouldn't dare to pressure him, yet you used such tricks in front of him.

You're used to kneeling, aren't you? Dissatisfied with the headquarters' decisions, are you?

Then keep kneeling!"

"Your subordinate is guilty and willing to accept punishment..."

The Branch Director-General didn't expect things to become so serious.

She knew she shouldn't have done that, using kneeling to ask the young master to make decisions for her.

After all, with her status and realm, she shouldn't have used such weakness to achieve her goals in front of the young master regarding such matters.

"Alright, I don't blame her anymore.

Her guarantee not to repeat it makes it a small matter, let it pass."

"Since the young master has spoken, this subordinate naturally wouldn't dare to punish her further.

Hurry up and get up, or do you want me to help you, or do you want the young master to help you personally?"

"Your subordinate thanks the young master, thanks Deputy Director-General!"

The Branch Director-General breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

"Your subordinate, Yun Yingying, Deputy Director-General of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in the Great Liang Imperial City, greets the young master."

Yun Yingying came before Jun Wuxie and bowed gracefully to him, who was sitting by the tea table.

"The young master can call your subordinate Yingying in the future."

"No need for formalities, please sit."

Jun Wuxie nodded slightly, pointing to the seat next to the tea table.

Yun Yingying smiled lightly, came to the tea table, personally poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down.

"Deputy Director-General Yingying, you shouldn't have just arrived.

I know your headquarters would definitely send a strong person, but I didn't expect it to be a Deputy Director-General like you in person.

Well, that's great. With a powerhouse like you coming to the Eastern Frontier, dealing with things will be more secure."

"Young master is wise. Your subordinate actually followed the young master here.

It's just that your subordinate didn't show herself.

Originally, I planned to follow the young master in secret to protect him.

But I heard the young master say that he was going to those cities suspected of already starting blood sacrifices.

At that time, the young master and others will likely be targeted, and your subordinate can't hide anymore, so I thought it would be better to show myself and let the young master know of my existence."

Nearby, the Branch Director-General was shocked to hear Yun Yingying's words.

The Deputy Director-General actually used the words 'wise' to describe the young master!

It's clear what kind of position the young master holds in her heart.

What is the background of this young master? Which disciple of the Heavenly Court is he, that he can make the Deputy Director-General so respectful!

She originally thought that the young master was a disciple valued by a high-level figure in the Heavenly Court behind the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Now it seems that being a disciple of a high-level figure is a certainty, but definitely not an ordinary one.

It is very likely to be a disciple of a person in charge of the Heavenly Court!

The person in charge of the Heavenly Court, what kind of status is that, what does it mean?

Any person in charge, at the very least, is a powerhouse in the last realm of the Emperor Realm, the Returning Truth Realm, and may even be a Quasi-Emperor!

"Well, now that you've come to the Eastern Frontier, have you seen any clues along the way?

Your Immortal Treasure Pavilion has existed for a long time and has a deep understanding of various things in the world, various forces, and various methods.

Can you deduce any information?

"Reporting to the young master, your subordinate has not yet deduced any information.

Perhaps we can only see clues when we go to the city of blood sacrifice.

The mysterious force that took action this time is very careful in their actions. They should have deliberately concealed their aura characteristics.

From this, we can draw a conclusion that this mysterious force must be a force known to people, a force that has existed for many years.

If they had never appeared before, they would not have needed to conceal their aura characteristics.

Doing so is clearly because they are afraid that the aura characteristics will expose their origins."

"The analysis is good. Have you reported the matter of the mysterious force?

"Reporting to the young master, we have already reported it to the Heavenly Court.

The sudden appearance of such a force that dares to attack our Immortal Treasure Pavilion is no small matter, and your subordinates dare not have the slightest contempt."

"Reporting is the right thing to do. The people who have appeared in this mysterious force so far all need a Deputy Director-General like you to deal with.

There must be many stronger existences in this force.

Relying on your Immortal Treasure Pavilion alone is not enough to contend with them."

Jun Wuxie vaguely had a direction in his heart and a suspect.

It's just that now there is no evidence, it's just his subjective guess, so he didn't say it.
