Qi Tian was leading the way, followed by Wang Shuqing and others. With a swagger, the group entered the city, frightening the gatekeepers who didn’t know how to react. The army officer drew his precious sword and pointed downwards, “Stop them; we cannot let them disturb the County Master. If we do, we’ll all die.”

Although the gatekeepers were somewhat fearful, they still rushed down from the city wall and stood in the path of Qi Tian and his group.

“Sta… Stand back, we don’t welcome you here. Please leave.”

Hu Niu looked up and gave a fierce roar at the gatekeeper standing in the way. The tiger’s roar shook the sky, scaring the gatekeepers who lost their nerve to stand in the way. They turned and ran, regardless of how the army officer called, they didn’t dare to come back.

Guan Xun approached the shouting officer, swung his arm and slapped him hard. “Shut up, or I swear I’ll kill you here and now.”

The officer felt the intense killing intent from Guan Xun and quickly shut his mouth.

“Control your troops well. If you mess up the County Master’s affairs, killing your entire family wouldn’t be enough to pacify the County Master’s fury, understand?” Guan Xun stared at the officer and said.

The officer nodded frantically. He initially thought that the County Master appointed by the court wouldn’t kill people, but surprisingly was extremely fierce and didn’t care about his life. Rumors were different; wasn’t it said that the County Master loved the people like his children, even standing up against the Crown Prince? How did everything change once he got to Lubei County?

Qi Tian didn’t care what a city gate officer thought or deliberately explain anything. Although he has the heart to benefit the people, he has also harsh methods. Now is not the time for kindness; he needs to take over the County Master Mansion as soon as possible. He wants to see who had the gall to even take over his position as County Master.

The speed of Qi Tian’s group was swift. Moreover, the county town of Lubei County was not huge, so in no time, they arrived at the County Master Mansion.

The County Master Mansion was not particularly big, only about the size of two quadrangle courtyards, but its location was excellent, separated from the County Government Office by only one street, basically located in the center of the county town.

For Qi Tian’s group to reach the County Master Mansion, they had to pass by the front door of the County Government Office. Given the commotion they caused, and Guan Xun’s group carrying the flag of the County Master, as long as one wasn’t blind or deaf, they would know what to do. However, the door of the County Government Office was tightly closed, and there was not even a single bureaucrat at the gate. Furthermore, the street was empty, not a single person was visible. This was unusual, and Qi Tian secretly took note. He would have to have a good talk with the County Magistrate afterward.

After passing by the front of the County Government Office, they had to turn a corner at the upcoming junction, and then another turn would bring the County Master Mansion into view.

The County Master Mansion, although a bit smaller than the County Government Office, was arguably the most luxurious in terms of the entire county town, with carved beams and painted rafters. Even the three characters of the ‘County Master Mansion’ on the gate were golden, an extravagant display of wealth.

However, at this moment, the County Master Mansion did not welcome the arrival of Qi Tian and the others. The County Master Mansion was shrouded by a massive barrier spell. Although the doors of the mansion were wide open, it was unrealistic to think of getting past it.

Upon reaching the gate of the County Master Mansion, Wu Tao, spurred on by Qi Tian, stepped forward and declared loudly, “People inside the County Master Mansion, listen up. The Imperial Master Mansion has approved the installation of Qi Tian, the new Lubei County Master. Why aren’t you out here to welcome him?”

“Hahaha, we already have a County Master here. Where did you fake come from?” Several people came out of the County Master Mansion; surprisingly, they were all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. Their clothing was not uniform, which made it hard to distinguish which power they belonged to.

Wu Tao’s face darkened, “You people have some nerve, taking someone else’s nest. Qi Tian is appointed by the court. His appointment letter has the imperial seal and the Great Seal of the Vice-Minister of Taichang Temple. Who appointed your County Master and whose seals are stamped on it?”

A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator said, “Our County Master is appointed by the Crown Prince. His appointment is sealed by the Crown Prince and the Great Seal of the Vice Chief of Taichang Temple.”

Wu Tao yelled, “You really have massive guts! According to the laws of Great Zhao, the appointment of a County Master must be approved by the Emperor, bearing the royal seal and the Great Seal of the Vice-Minister of Taichang Temple to be valid. You dare to take the Crown Prince’s appointment letter seriously. Do you know the gravity of this?”

“What gravity? We only know that the old emperor is critically ill and could die at any moment. When the time comes, the Crown Prince will ascend to the throne, and he will then be the new Emperor. At that time, the whole of Great Zhao will be under the new Emperor. His appointment letter carries the most weight.” The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator declared loudly.

For a moment, Wu Tao was not sure how to refute. Having been living in the Sky Eagle Hall, he was familiar with many news from the court. He knew that in recent times the old Emperor, Emperor Tian Rui, was indeed critically ill, and so the Crown Prince was entrusted with governmental affairs, controlling the overall situation. Everyone knew that once the old Emperor dies, it would be time for the new Emperor to ascend the throne. At that point, when the Crown Prince becomes the Emperor, who would dare say that his appointment is invalid?
