At the forefront was a man in a green robe, an elderly figure.

He looked to be in his seventies, with white beard and eyebrows, a ruddy and clear complexion, and an ethereal mist that swirled around him like the aura of an immortal.

The two men behind him were both familiar to Cao Xuan.

One was Chu Xisheng, the other Jian Cangfeng.

Cao Xuan was briefly stunned, thinking how bold Chu Xisheng was, and how arrogant the Formless Divine Sect must be, for Jian Cangfeng to dare bring such a wanted criminal like Chu Xisheng into State City.

But then he thought of something, and his face changed drastically.

East State Governor Wang Sheng paid no attention to Cao Xuan and even less to Chu Xisheng.

He approached the robed elder with a wide smile, “It is a great honor to have Grand Elder Qingxu visit today, truly a grace upon this humble abode!”

Qingxu?

Cao Xuan thought to himself that it must indeed be Qingxuzi, the Grand Elder of the Teaching Institute from the Formless Divine Sect.

Qingxuzi responded with a smile, “I dare not!

It is I who should apologize for imposing on you, Mr.

Governor.”

He then looked up at the entrance of the Governor’s Mansion and the many aides surrounding Wang Sheng, “I have come today to discuss a matter with Mr.

Governor.

Would you please dismiss everyone and find us a quiet place to talk?”

There was no need for inconsequential onlookers to be present.

Mr.

Governor Wang Sheng ‘hmm’ed, stealing a glance at Chu Xisheng.

He guessed that today’s matter must certainly be related to this Young Flag Master.

※※※※

In a tea room in the backyard of the Governor’s Mansion, mist and the aroma of tea filled the air.

Summoned by Qingxuzi, Cao Xuan was fortunate enough to enter the room.

A cup of tea was also served to Cao Xuan by a maid, but he didn’t dare even sniff it, keeping his eyelids half-closed, cautious and trembling as he sat up straight.

“Good tea!”

Qingxuzi’s mind was clearly not on the tea; after a quick sip, he carelessly set it back on the table, “Mr.

Governor, you must have guessed the purpose of my visit?

I am here today on behalf of my disciple.

Are you aware that the Flag Leader of the Iron Banner Gang is a ‘Blood Vengeance Candidate’ from my Formless Divine Sect?”

Governor Wang Sheng of East State was caught off guard, not expecting Qingxuzi to be so direct and straightforward.

He looked serious and shook his head slightly, “I have not heard of this.”

“But you have heard now,” Qingxuzi said sharply, flicking his dust whisk, “Chu Xisheng has an extraordinary talent and is capable of mastering the ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade’ at the first level.

He is a future pillar of support for my Formless Divine Sect.

Yet someone has framed and falsely accused him, listed his name on the Black List, attempting to send him to his death, tarnishing the Qi Fortune of our sect, and they deserve death.”

“This—”

Governor Wang Sheng of East State felt an immense headache upon hearing this.

He frowned and said, “Grand Elder, are you suggesting that we clear the young flag master Chu’s name?

That won’t be an easy task, the fact that the Iron Banner Gang has caused great harm and chaos in Xiushui County is not only widely known here in East State but also has caused an uproar in the Capital City.

Many imperial censors and members of the Six Ministries are already aware of this—”

“If Chu Xisheng was originally innocent, why would there be a need to clear his name?”

Qingxuzi cut Wang Sheng off directly, smiling, “Vice Captain Cao Xuan of the Imperial Guard, I ask you, what is Chu Xisheng’s current identity?”

Stunned by the question, Cao Xuan already had an inkling of why Qingxuzi had summoned him, and he answered without hesitation, “Grand Elder, Chu Xisheng is the Deputy Thousand Households of the Imperial Guard!

The Earth Court Imperial Guard and the Ministry of Personnel have his records.”

In fact, as soon as Chu Xisheng’s name appeared on the Black List, the Imperial Guard had already dismissed him and destroyed his records.

But Cao Xuan knew that if he dared say ‘no’ today, not only might he die on the spot, but his entire family might have to pay with their lives.

Cao Xuan had heard of the Formless Divine Sect’s ruthless ways.

Without such thunderous ruthlessness, how could the Formless Divine Sect command respect bordering You State and suppress the Northern Giant Spirit?

As for Chu Xisheng’s records, it was a simple matter to forge a new set.

Fortunately, due to time constraints, Chu Xisheng’s records at the Earth Court Imperial Guard and the Ministry of Personnel had not yet been erased, which would make the task even easier.

“Well done!”

Qingxuzi was satisfied with a smile, “So did Chu Xisheng join the Iron Banner Gang under your orders to investigate the treasonous conspiracy of the East State Eunuch and Sikong Chan?”

“Sikong Chan’s treasonous conspiracy?”

Governor Wang Sheng of East State was taken aback, nearly rising from his seat.

His close helpers were also looking at each other in shock and astonishment.

Cao Xuan was similarly startled, his mind racing.

What connections did the Iron Banner Gang have with Sikong Chan?

Chu Xisheng’s joining the Iron Banner Gang wouldn’t help investigate Sikong Chan.

But he immediately noticed Jian Cangfeng looking at him with an almost mocking smile.

A extremely sharp Sword Intent was aiming straight for Cao Xuan’s forehead.

Cao Xuan’s pupils contracted, and he realized then that Jian Cangfeng was the master behind that sword talisman.

It was this person who, from miles or even tens of miles away, could pierce his Golden Body Dominator with a simple piece of talisman paper folded into the shape of a sword!

This Jian Cangfeng, to have such prowess?

Cao Xuan knew he had to admit to this, and furthermore, he had to think of a way to complete and perfect this narrative.

“Indeed!” Cao Xuan said with a solemn expression, “Sikong Chan had dark plans of rebellion, and was vigorously enlisting the Tie Brothers and the tens of thousands of the Navy of the Iron Banner Gang.

The Tie Brothers refused, so Sikong Chan conspired with the altar master of the Iron Banner Gang, Songfeng Sword Lin Shi, to plot the removal of the Tie Brothers and make Songfeng Sword Lin Shi the head of the Iron Banner Gang.

I, Cao Xuan, learned of this and arranged for Chu Xisheng to infiltrate the Iron Banner Gang, thwarting his plans.”

He was already contemplating in his mind how to manufacture evidence.
