Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Punishment Hall Envoy!

"What did you say?"

"The envoy from Punishment Hall? Who?"

"It’s Lord Yang Tianpeng."

Qiu Baiwan gasped sharply.

Punishment Hall was the supervisory department of the Martial Arts Cabinet and had the authority over life and death concerning the cabinet’s behavioral norms—the envoy was the executor of this authority.

Even with all the courage in the world, Qiu Baiwan wouldn’t dare to offend someone from Punishment Hall.

His expression immediately became somewhat awkward.

He never expected that the Liu Family could actually invite an envoy from Punishment Hall; this was no joking matter.

At this moment, Qiu Baiwan understood why the Liu Family had such great ambition.

It turned out they had someone from Punishment Hall backing them.

"So the master you mentioned earlier who could kill Zhou Yu is also Lord Yang Tianpeng?"

"Exactly."

Liu Zongsen smiled proudly.

"I have already received Lord Yang’s assurance; he will send someone to help me eliminate Zhou Yu, and if that fails, he will take action himself."

"Now, do you understand why I am so confident?"

Qiu Baiwan immediately squeezed out a smile.

"Brother Liu, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"Look at this misunderstanding we’ve caused."

"No problem, we will do as you just proposed, seven for you, three for me, as long as I can be assured the position of department head in the Qin State Martial Arts Cabinet."

Liu Zongsen wasn’t at all surprised by Qiu Baiwan’s reaction.

He had calculated everything before coming; Qiu Baiwan’s reaction was entirely within his expectations.

Liu Zongsen said with a faint smile:

"Brother Qiu really knows how to read the room. Let’s go together to meet Lord Yang."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Qiu Baiwan immediately had someone prepare the car.

Under Liu Zongsen’s instruction, the car drove straight into Qin State City Airport.

Soon, a private plane landed.

A middle-aged man with a distinguished and extraordinary demeanor walked down.

Liu Zongsen and Qiu Baiwan hurriedly went up to meet him.

"You must have had a hard journey, Lord Yang," Liu Zongsen flattered.

Yang Tianpeng merely nodded slightly.

"Family Head Liu, how have you been recently?"

Liu Zongsen replied with a bitter smile.

"My heart’s ailment. You must be aware of it, Lord Yang."

Of course, the heart’s ailment he referred to was Zhou Yu.

Yang Tianpeng nodded.

"Rest assured, I’ve already sent people to handle it."

Liu Zongsen was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Lord Yang."

"Lord Yang, allow me to introduce,"

"This is Qiu Baiwan, Deputy Director of the Qin State Martial Arts Cabinet."

Qiu Baiwan hurriedly stepped forward with respect.

"Lord Yang, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Yang Tianpeng glanced at Qiu Baiwan, nodding indifferently.

Just then, a contemptuous voice was heard.

"Is this what the Martial Arts World of Qin State looks like? A deputy director whose cultivation is so pathetic."

Hearing this, Qiu Baiwan’s face instantly turned a bit ugly.

He looked up and saw that the speaker was a young man, with an old man behind him, seemingly a bodyguard.

Qiu Baiwan did not recognize the young man, but from his demeanor, it was clear he was a pampered young master.

Yang Tianpeng said with a light smile:

"Songqing, this must be your first visit to Qin State, right?"

"The spiritual lands here are scarce, and the martial forces are indeed the weakest among the nine states of the world, so it’s normal for the martial artists here to be weaker."

After finishing, Yang Tianpeng turned to Liu Zongsen and Qiu Baiwan, saying.

"He is Zhao Songqing, the young master from the Zhao Family of the Capital City."

The Zhao Family from the Capital City?

Liu Zongsen and Qiu Baiwan were startled.

That was one of the top forces of the Capital City, not to mention the Qin State Martial Arts Cabinet, even the Capital City Martial Arts Cabinet wouldn’t dare to offend them.

The two men quickly bowed respectfully.

Yang Tianpeng continued with a smile:

"Songqing is also here on business, so we came together."

Liu Zongsen, showing great importance, quickly asked:

"May I know what business Master Zhao has here? Perhaps we can take care of it for you."

Zhao Songqing waved his hand disdainfully:

"No need. It’s just dealing with a small fry, and I’ve already sent people."

"If you weaklings in Qin State could handle it, I wouldn’t have needed to come all this way."

"I’m tired, arrange for some rest."

Liu Zongsen was very curious about what kind of small fry could necessitate a visit by the young master of the Zhao Family from the Capital City, but Zhao Songqing’s disdainful attitude left him feeling very indignant.

Yet he dared not show even the slightest hint of this.

He didn’t ask further, merely bowing deeply.

"Lord Yang, Master Zhao, the car is ready. Please, get in."

...

Elsewhere, Shen Lan led Lu Xiuying and Zhou Yu, rushing toward the place where Wu Yue ran into trouble.

On the way, Shen Lan recounted the events.

Apparently, Wu Yue was pursuing a fugitive who, although only a minor Innate level practitioner, was no match for Wu Yue.

But he was cunning, full of tricks, retreating while fighting and drawing Wu Yue and his men into a pre-set ambush. There, they had an ambush set by a major Innate level master.

This took a heavy toll on Wu Yue and his men.

Fortunately, Wu Yue was cautious, and he had requested a master to oversee this mission before it began. In a critical moment, that master arrived just in time to hold the line.

However, that master was also not a match for the opponent and was soon injured.

In desperation, the group sent Shen Lan to seek reinforcements.

After hearing the rough details, Lu Xiuying and others immediately reassured:

"Don’t worry, Group Leader Wu always prepares thoroughly, he should be able to hold on until we arrive."

"Once Mr. Zhou arrives, he will definitely save Group Leader Wu."

With tears in her eyes, Shen Lan looked at Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, I am relying on you."

Zhou Yu nodded.

The car hurried along for two hours before stopping outside a dense forest.

Zhou Yu immediately activated his Primordial Spirit, spreading his Divine Sense to its maximum range, and quickly located Wu Yue and his men.

"Found them, follow me."

Zhou Yu led the way, charging into the dense forest.
