Chapter 1858: Chapter 289: Gou Chen’s True Form

One cannot deny that, for the majority of people, they have no way to discern the deeper implications behind this matter.

They can only rely on facts and the proclamation by Wang Patrol to decide whether to believe it.

Seeing Dutian Heavenly King Patrol going back and forth between Zhongzhou and Longzhou over ten times, solely to bring the innocent Yun Clan members to Unparalleled City, this Dutian Heavenly King Patrol truly is the most upright organization in Xiehe!

Perhaps even An Jingtian himself did not anticipate that the announcement made by Wang Patrol to save face would have such astonishing effects.

The previously faltering reputation of Dutian Heavenly King Patrol was suddenly stabilized, and even the recruitment responses that were somewhat stagnant began to soar.

Many young cultivators, having read the announcement from Dutian Heavenly King Patrol, felt invigorated as if injected with adrenaline, eager to join Wang Patrol and become cultivators possessing the power of arbitration while adhering to the righteous path.

This spectacle left some knowledgeable individuals both amused and baffled.

Why did Dutian Heavenly King Patrol suddenly become so accommodating?

Even without much thought, it’s clear they weren’t pursuing any worldly justice.

Ten Thousand Immortal Mountain Domain, Feixian Waterfall

Seeing the empty Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel returning to the main department of the mountain character, An Jingtian, with a sullen face, said to Tang Luo: "Things have been handled as the dean instructed, now can you reveal the whereabouts of the people on the list?"

"Hmm, Acting Governor might have some misunderstanding!"

Tang Luo smiled and waved his hand: "The Academy never said we know the whereabouts of all the people on the list."

"You!"

Enraged, An Jingtian tried to suppress his anger upon seeing the dean of Unparalleled Institute’s faintly smiling, utterly fearless expression, stiffly remarking: "Then which one’s whereabouts are you willing to exchange, Dean?"

"Devil Lord Gouchen."

Tang Luo chuckled: "The Academy not only knows Devil Lord Gouchen’s whereabouts but also his true identity, buy one get one free, Acting Governor, this is quite the profitable deal!"

"Devil Lord Gouchen..."

After some contemplation, An Jingtian nodded and said: "Alright! This person is the culprit behind the destruction of Hanging Sky City, causing Dutian Heavenly King Patrol’s accumulation of precious case records over a century to be lost, even attempted to assassinate the Dao Child of Tiannan, holding a deep enmity with Wang Patrol. I request the Dean to reveal who Devil Lord Gouchen truly is, and where he is now."

"Acting Governor would not find Devil Lord Gouchen’s true form unfamiliar."

Tang Luo smiled squinting: "This person became famous at the Longzhou Martial Arts Exchange Conference, and attained the Dao right before the Justice Alliance’s assault on Tang. Does Acting Governor recall anything?"

"Dean!"

An Jingtian’s face tightened, his spirit growing as rigid as an iron slab: "That joke is not funny at all!"

"Do you think this is a joke?"

Tang Luo asked with a smile: "Do you believe Devil Lord Gouchen couldn’t possibly be the Void Grandmaster?"

"The Void Grandmaster is but a different age, when Devil Lord Gouchen debuted in Vimazhita’s origin, he was already a peak expert of the Fierce Realm. How can they be the same person!"

An Jingtian said coldly: "Dean’s joke has crossed the line!"

"See, without even verifying, you’re busy denying it. Were you thinking that if Devil Lord Gouchen and Tang Luo share identities, it’s a huge hassle?"

Tang Luo smiled: "It indeed is a bit troublesome, changing identities previously was to avoid involving the family, now that the Justice Alliance has wiped out the family, you say, isn’t this matter terrifying, hahaha!"

As if recalling a delightful scene, Tang Luo stepped forward, patting An Jingtian’s shoulder saying: "I’ve given you the identity, as for his whereabouts now, Wang Patrol can find out by asking around Middle Ying City, deal is done, Acting Governor, good luck! If you capture Devil Lord Gouchen, not only will you avenge the fall of Hanging Sky City but also do a great favor for the Wang Clan of Tiannan, truly killing two birds with one stone!"

Saying this, Tang Luo didn’t care about An Jingtian’s face as black as the bottom of a pot, turned around, and left.

"Dean, please hold on!"

An Jingtian coldly called out: "May I ask how you know the true identity of Devil Lord Gouchen?"

"Hmm?"

Tang Luo turned back, puzzled at first, then suddenly understood: "No wonder Acting Governor reacted so strongly. It turns out Wang Patrol today is no longer united top to bottom, interesting, haha, truly interesting."

Leaving behind mocking words, with no trace of the king, An Jingtian on Feixian Waterfall, furious and wanting to kill!

...

There’s no impermeable barrier in this world, especially when Acting Governor Wang Patrol wants to investigate something.

He quickly found the document intercepted by the Wind Department of Pingshan City from the vast amount, even discovering records of the Wind Department’s Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel entering Longzhou.

But he was puzzled as to why An Yuanxi suddenly returned!

"Our sect hopes Heavenly Patrol Envoy can provide a reasonable explanation!"

After years of indifference, suddenly summoning An Yuanxi to the main department today, sufficiently shows how angry An Jingtian was over this matter: "With such significant news of Red Cloud Mountain appearing in Horn Mansion, why did Pingshan City intercept it, why didn’t you as the Wind Department’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy notify our sect about this!"

If it were another department’s Heavenly Patrol Envoy, faced with An Jingtian’s furious outburst, they’d likely be scared to death.

But who is An Yuanxi, a former Dao Child of the Divine Court, not of the same lineage as An Jingtian, respects only for the same family and cultivation practice, after all, in martial arts the capable are revered.

Yet if truly delving into family lineage and rank, one wouldn’t know whose status is lower.

Having no intention of fear at all, the Wind Department’s patrol doesn’t believe he did anything wrong: "If Yuan Xi remembers correctly, Acting Governor personally said to leave all Longzhou Wind Media matters to Pingshan City, no matter the issue Yuan Xi has full authority."

"Regarding Devil Lord Gouchen, how can Wind Department possibly act with full authority!"

Seeing An Yuanxi’s defiant demeanor, An Jingtian grew angrier: "Do you know the true identity of Devil Lord Gouchen?"

"Based on Yuan Xi’s current knowledge, Wang Patrol not knowing the Devil Lord’s identity is more favorable than knowing."

Watching An Jingtian’s furious face, An Yuanxi hinted: "Not every piece of intelligence warrants immediate response!"

"That’s something Cao Jinyu often said, but he’s already dead!"

Extreme anger subsided into calm disappointment, as An Jingtian seemed to understand why An Yuanxi was so insistent on his views, warning: "Now Dutian Heavenly King Patrol must work according to the Star Lord’s pace. If you still cling to past notions, then you’re unfit to serve as Heavenly Patrol!"

"What worth does the current Heavenly Patrol position hold anyway."

With disdain, An Yuanxi remarked: "If not for considering the grand scheme of Xiehe, Yuan Xi would’ve resigned as Heavenly Patrol and returned to Divine Court for closed-door training long ago!"

"Good, good, good! What a stubborn Feather God!"

Angrily, An Jingtian said: "Since you disdain the Heavenly Patrol position, take your subordinates and leave. Our sect will send someone to take over Pingshan City."

"Haha, An Jingtian, you’re just a brute!"

No longer concerned with maintaining civility between them, An Yuanxi addressed him directly, saying: "Do you think leading Dutian Heavenly King Patrol only requires placing the most powerful above the Heavenly Patrol position? Merely people comforting themselves with foolish sayings, if done genuinely, it’d be utterly disastrous!"

Slapping the Heavenly Patrol order on An Jingtian’s desk, An Yuanxi sneered coldly: "I’m curious to see how you, An Jingtian, can do better than me!"
