Chapter 391
"It must have been the demons," Xiao Qing said in a cold voice . "It's a long way from the Great Song to the Great Yin . The road is filled with danger since demons rule over the mountains and forests in wilderness . Even the Great Yin can't interfere easily .
"Sect Master Lu, you might as well cut your losses and forget about it . "
"Oh? Department Head Xiao, please explain more . The Great Yin is so very powerful and filled with many masters, why would it be afraid of mere demons on a small mountain?" Lu Sheng asked .
"Of course we are not afraid of them, but it's not worth the trouble . The demon tribes around here have all sorts of connections . There were even two empresses that were of rabbit demon descent . Combined with their exceptional skills in hiding and disguise, the amount of effort needed to capture them is not worth the reward," Xiao Qing said casually .
The demons of the Great Yin were like certain human minorities . They lived in remote mountains, and had an aggressive nature . Even if they attacked you, you wouldn't be able to do anything without proof .
Just bury the body in the mountain . Who would know what happened? Plus, there were supporters of demons in the imperial court . With so many limitations, neither the Great Yin nor the Great Song tried to keep the demons in check .
"Also, there is a forbidden place in those mountains that could inhibit the circulation of True Qi . It's best that Sect Master Lu doesn't venture near if possible . " Xiao Qing was a little afraid that Lu Sheng might report the incident about the portal to the Devil World . Her tone got softer with that .
Lu Sheng was naturally getting angry as he realized his family was nearly killed . He researched the surrounding area through the county records when he got back, and had a basic understanding of the situation . The several branches of demons also had contacts in the County Capital . They were intelligent, after all, and had to depend on many human creations to survive . They had to buy them at a high price from the County Capital, so of course they had contacts here .
Revenge was a must, but how it should be done and whom it should be done to were still things he needed to decide .
He was planning to develop Autumn Moon County as his base . Neither the three major sects nor the imperial court could stop him .
"I have heard… that black deer frequently appear near the Autumn Moon County Capital… This Black Deer Tribe is cruel by nature, and under the protection of their Weapon Masters and connections in high places, conducted a lot of human trafficking business…" Lu Sheng slowly sipped his tea .
"Bam!"
"Lu Sheng! Don't go too far!!"
Xiao Qing was instantly enraged and slammed the table, causing the teacup to fall and shatter . The faint green liquid spilled on the ground and filled the room with its fragrance .
Everyone in the Autumn Moon County knew her husband was the head of the Black Deer Tribe . What did Lu Sheng mean when he so blatantly expressed his plan to deal with them in front of her?
Unfortunately, she was only the department head of a county, and knew nothing about Lu Sheng's background . She thought he was only the honorary sect master of a prefectural branch, and at most at the peak of Earth Prime upper three tiers, while her husband, the leader of the Black Deer Tribe, was also an Earth Prime upper three tier expert that held great power within the County Capital .
Intel that had to do with Holy Masters was handled by the combined archive of at least the prefectural level Turquoise Conch Agency and Yin Yang Agency—there were no exceptions . Naturally, she didn't know .
On one hand, it was to protect the families of the Holy Masters, and on the other, it was to limit the power of each branch of Turquoise Agency and Yin Yang Agency . Otherwise, if they stood united while spying on the whole world, they would become a big threat .
"Near the County Capital, only the Black Deer Tribe fits most of the evidence: exceptional speed and strength, black hides, the natural fragrance of deer—" Before he could finish, Xiao Qing interrupted again .
"Watch your mouth, Lu Sheng! Think of the consequences of your words . Your family and subordinates all live inside of Autumn Moon County . " How dared an outsider from the three major sects interfere with the affair of a high-ranking Turquoise Conch official and threaten her!
She thought that if she reported this, all those high-ranking officials who always had a feud with the Thousand Sun Sect would back her up .
"Consequences?" Lu Sheng laughed . "You dare threaten me?"
"This isn't a threat, just the simple truth!" Xiao Qing laughed coldly . He might be powerful, but he wouldn't dare touch her .
She was the Head of Turquoise Conch Agency, and watching over the three major sects was within her jurisdiction . She had targeted people in her reports before .
"Truth?" Lu Sheng didn't waste more time . This little girl didn't seem to know her place, and simply spewed out threats she couldn't back up .
"Elder Stone . Escort Department Head Xiao back . Teach her how to speak properly on the way . " He waved his hand and leaned back .
Elder Stone slowly walked out of the door to the left . He and King of Shadows had decided to follow Lu Sheng already . With how competitive the Devil World was, they had long since lost their territories .
That was why following someone that was improving at a horrifying rate—like Lu Sheng—was the best plan they came up with .
"You!" Xiao Qing stared daggers at Lu Sheng . "What bravery!! If you dare touch one hair of me, a warrant for you will be issued tomorrow!!"
Elder Stone shifted, and suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Qing, grabbed her hair, and savagely ripped it back .
"Ripppp!" All of her hair was ripped out along with her bloody scalp . Xiao Qing screamed in terror .
"Why just one? Might as well touch all of them . " Elder Stone smiled with narrowed eyes .
"Retard…" Lu Sheng shook his head . How did she become the department head, anyway? Connections? Bribes?
Never would he have thought that he actually got most of it right .
