Butler Zhao immediately fell silent, feeling helpless. As Long Bei had said, he was the king of the entire Northwest Commandery; why would he fear these people?
However, regardless of how things stood, the Heavenly Soldier Manor was ultimately an established branch of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. If the higher-ups in the Heavenly Court Dynasty were to learn that many Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Manor had died prematurely, it would stir up endless trouble.
“Release that Heavenly General from the dungeon and let him witness the consequence of offending the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture!” Long Bei said coldly. “At the same time, let him return and reflect properly!”
Butler Zhao dared not delay and quickly complied. His expression was also somewhat perturbed, as this matter could be significant or insignificant. Once the higher-ups knew, it would cause endless trouble.
The Heavenly Soldier Manor was also a force within the Northwest Commandery, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court Dynasty. Now that six powerful figures had perished, it was a huge blow to them.
The Hunyuan Heavenly General was released. Upon seeing the corpses of Wuji Heavenly General and the others, his expression instantly turned extremely grim. He had naturally not expected things to turn out this way.
“What’s going on? How did it come to this?” The Hunyuan Heavenly General looked at Butler Zhao, his anger evident. He had never imagined that so many Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Manor would die prematurely.
“Perhaps it is fate, and that is why this calamity has befallen them!”
Butler Zhao smiled and said, “From now on, do not make an enemy of the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture, or this will be your fate, and possibly the fate of the entire Heavenly Soldier Manor!”
Following these words, the Hunyuan Heavenly General’s face turned ashen. He gazed at the corpses, his eyes reddening, as these were all people from the Heavenly Soldier Manor. Now that they had all died prematurely, how could he accept it?
“The Heavenly Soldier Manor and the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture are irreconcilable!”
The Hunyuan Heavenly General left these words behind and turned to depart, his eyes filled with a cold glint. This matter had deeply impacted him and was something he could not accept.
Butler Zhao stood stunned to the side, not taking it too seriously. This was the Northwest Commandery, and Long Bei was not someone whom anyone could offend. Therefore, they were emboldened and did not take it to heart at all.
Not long after, the corpses of the six Martial Emperors were moved to the entire Heavenly Soldier Manor. At this moment, the Heavenly Soldier Manor was dead silent. Everyone was incredulous. These were six Heavenly Generals, and they had died prematurely just like this. How could they accept it?
“How could this happen!” Lu Fan arrived, looking at the scene before him with a panicked expression. These were six Martial Emperor level experts, and to have met such an end was truly caught off guard.
“You must all remember, when you are outside in the future, do not cause trouble. Otherwise, this will be the consequence!”
The Hunyuan Heavenly General stated directly, “You have all seen the scene before you clearly. Without sufficient strength, you can only endure constantly. Otherwise, you will only become a laughingstock!”
“The Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture is arrogant and has killed six Martial Emperor level experts. This is an unresolvable feud!”
Lu Fan spoke, “What does the Hunyuan Heavenly General plan to do?”
“Even if the Prefecture Lord were here, he could not turn the tide. The Northwest Commandery Lord is arguably the strongest existence in the entire Northwest Commandery, and his position is so high; he is not easily dealt with!”
“Are we not going to avenge this?” Lu Fan asked, with a heroic spirit.
“We must avenge it, of course!”
The people of the Heavenly Soldier Manor all spoke, with a sense of sorrow. They had been caught off guard by how things had escalated, and this was not what they wished to see.
At the same time, the people of the Heavenly Soldier Manor spoke in unison, each with a burning fighting spirit. As members of the Heavenly Soldier Manor, how could they tolerate such a thing happening? Six Martial Emperor experts had been ambushed and killed, without even a chance to react. How could they accept this?
“To avenge this, there is only one chance, and that is to go to the imperial capital of the Heavenly Court Dynasty to lodge a formal complaint!” The Hunyuan Heavenly General’s eyes were serious. “Only by letting the higher authorities know that the Northwest Commandery Lord has acted recklessly will they take action against him. At that time, without the power of destruction, Long Bei can be brought down.”
“Go to the Heavenly Court Dynasty?”
Ling’er asked in surprise, “Can the Heavenly Court Dynasty really control the Northwest Commandery Lord?”
“The entire Heavenly Court Dynasty has a clear hierarchical system. The Northwest Commandery Lord governs merely one commandery, while the Heavenly Court Dynasty governs the entire dynasty. Therefore, there are countless experts, and they simply don’t care about the Northwest Commandery!” the Hunyuan Heavenly General stated. Su Dan Novel Network
“Since that is the case, I am willing to go to the capital to make this matter clear!” Lu Fan said. The deaths of the Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Manor left him with mixed feelings, but he could not say more.
“I have the same intention!” The Hunyuan Heavenly General nodded. “However, the journey is extremely perilous. Are you truly prepared to go to the imperial capital to lodge a formal complaint?”
“Since I have said it, I naturally mean it!” Lu Fan nodded. “Moreover, the Northwest Commandery Lord has done such a thing but has not received due punishment. This is unfair!”
“Since you think this way, I am very pleased. I will entrust the matter of going to the imperial capital to you!” the Hunyuan Heavenly General said directly. “I believe you understand that this matter is of no small importance!”
“Hunyuan Heavenly General, rest assured, I will absolutely not disappoint you!” Lu Fan nodded slightly, his demeanor radiating a sense of resolve.
He had never expected things to turn out this way. Wuji Heavenly General and the others were beaten to death by people from the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture. This was simply blatant disregard for the law, and within the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty, it was an act of lawlessness.
At the same time, many Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Manor also spoke, wishing to accompany Lu Fan to the imperial capital to lodge a formal complaint. If it were not for their lack of strength, they might have even attacked the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture directly.
After all, the actions of the Northwest Commandery’s Prefecture were truly hard to accept. These were Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Manor, like their mentors. Now they had all died prematurely.
The Hunyuan Heavenly General wrote a note, detailing the Northwest Commandery Lord’s unforgivable crimes. Each word and sentence carried an unparalleled momentum.
Upon receiving this letter, Lu Fan’s eyes appeared solemn. He wondered if he would encounter any obstruction on his journey to the imperial capital. However, even so, he did not care. After all, his purpose in coming to the Heavenly Realm was to continuously grow stronger. Perhaps, on this path to the imperial capital, he could gain a great deal.
Meanwhile, in the Northwest Commandery Lord’s mansion, Butler Zhao arrived and cupped his fists, saying, “My lord, I have just received news that the Heavenly Soldier Manor seems to want to go and lodge a formal complaint. If this matter succeeds, I fear even you will be implicated!”
“Lodge a formal complaint?” Long Bei suddenly smiled. “They are quite good at playing games. Since that is the case, let them play. You don’t need to say anything more!” Long Bei said indifferently.
