While Ji Tianxing and the others were investigating the situation, the Black Mountain City Lord had also arrived with a group of city guards.
Before Ji Tianxing could say anything, the Jasper Hall Master had already scolded the Black Mountain City Lord.
She was scolding him for not doing his job well and not supervising properly. How could he allow such a shocking incident to happen in his territory?
Furthermore, after the incident, as the Black Mountain City Lord, he did not rush over immediately to protect the scene. Instead, he arrived late. What a bastard!
The Black Mountain City Lord felt wronged. He could not believe that such a thing would happen in his territory.
In the past ten thousand years, he had never even heard of such a thing.
No matter how diligent he was in his work and how much he cared about the safety of the citizens, how could he monitor this small town?
Furthermore, the unknown expert who attacked the small town was at least a Peak God King. How could the city guards he sent out monitor the situation?
However, no matter how wronged the Black Mountain City Lord felt, he could only swallow his grievances and plead for mercy to the Jasper Hall Master.
Ji Tianxing did not make things difficult for him. After reprimanding him, he ordered him to monitor the situation in his territory strictly. Once he discovered an unknown expert, he was to report it immediately.
The Jasper Hall Master did not manage to escape and was reprimanded by Ji Tianxing.
After that, Ji Tianxing requested the Jasper Hall to send out elite soldiers to search for traces and clues of the culprit in his territory.
There was no clue to the entire incident. Ji Tianxing did not have any problems handling it this way.
The Jasper Hall Master and the Black Mountain City Lord acknowledged the order and left with their subordinates.
Ji Tianxing did not stay any longer. After using the Image Recording Crystal to record the ruins of the small town, he returned to Jasper City with his soldiers.
…
After returning to Jasper City.
Ji Tianxing entered the study to deal with this matter. He pretended to investigate the clues of the mysterious mark.
The captain of the guards and the four generals entered the study worriedly and spoke to him.
"Advisor, shouldn't we report to the Governor about such a major incident?"
"Yes! This incident happened in the Governor's territory. We have to inform him as soon as possible so that we can discuss a countermeasure! "
"According to this subordinate's estimation, that damned murderer is at least a peak Divine King, and very possibly a God Emperor level expert.
I'm afraid only the Governor can make progress in this matter! "
The guard captain and the generals' worries were not without reason, but how could Ji Tianxing let them have their way?
"Shut up!" Ji Tianxing slammed the table and glared at a certain general. He scolded, "God Emperor? What do you think the God Emperor is? Wild vegetables and fruits? Could it be seen everywhere?
Stop spouting nonsense and creating panic. Otherwise, I'll punish you first! "
The general who was being scolded was so scared that he shrunk his neck and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak carelessly.
Ji Tianxing then said to the others, "You're right. With such a big thing happening, we should indeed report it to the Governor.
But have you ever thought about it? The Governor was cultivating in seclusion and might be at the critical juncture of increasing his strength.
And what are we doing?
Encountering such a big thing, we didn't even find any clues. We don't even know who the murderer is or what he looks like.
What are you reporting to the Governor?
Interrupting his seclusion just to tell him that something big happened?
Where are your brains?
Do you want to be scolded? Be punished?
No wonder all these years, you've been by the Governor's side, but you've never been trusted or valued by him.
With your way of doing things, you don't want to solve the problem, you don't want to solve the problem for the Governor, you only want to push the thorny problem out …
The Governor is already very merciful that he didn't ask you to scram! "
This series of words made everyone dizzy on the spot.
Even if everyone was somewhat unconvinced in their hearts, they were still ashamed and lowered their heads in shame.
There was no other way. Ji Tianxing was right!
They had followed Qian Zhan for so many years and had always done things like this. Therefore, they had never been trusted or valued by Qian Zhan.
And this Changfeng Advisor in front of them was just a nameless guard a few months ago. He had no status, no status, and no power.
Yet, he was able to be valued by Qian Zhan and became an advisor, becoming Qian Zhan's aide and confidant.
As for the reason why he was able to soar to the top in one step, he had also explained it clearly just now.
It was very simple. When encountering a problem, please think of a way to solve it first and solve the problem for the Governor, instead of stuffing it all to the Governor.
While everyone felt ashamed, they also expressed that they had learned something.
After a moment of silence, no one mentioned reporting to Qian Zhan anymore. They all asked Ji Tianxing for advice.
"Counselor, do you mean … we shouldn't report this matter to the Governor first? Let's investigate this matter thoroughly before informing the Governor?"
"Advisor, that's what I mean! If we don't investigate it thoroughly, what are we going to report to the Governor?
At the very least, we have to find out who the murderer is, right? "
"Advisor, then where do you think we should start from? How do you think we can find the real murderer in the shortest time possible?"
"Advisor, you have a card up your sleeve. You must have a plan long ago. We only need to act according to your orders!"
The captain of the guards and the generals discussed for a while.
Ji Tianxing raised his hand. Everyone immediately quietened down. Their gazes gathered on him.
"The murderer's strength is very strong. There is no doubt about this. That small town had over twenty thousand people. Moreover, most of them were Divine King experts.
For the mysterious expert to be able to destroy the entire small town and abduct so many people in such a short time, it can be seen how powerful his strength and methods are. "
Hearing until here, several generals all noticed a detail and frowned one after another.
"Abducted?"
"Advisor, how can you be sure that the townspeople were abducted and not massacred?"
"That's right! Advisor, what evidence do you have to prove that those townspeople were only abducted? "
Ji Tianxing glanced at them and reprimanded, "We have all carefully inspected that small town. Did you see many corpses in the ruins?
Not to mention corpses, you didn't even see any blood, bones, or body parts, right?
Since we didn't see any corpses or blood, how can we say that those townspeople were massacred?
However, those townspeople are indeed missing. Therefore, they must have been abducted. "
After Ji Tianxing's explanation, the guard captain and several generals gradually accepted this conclusion.
Then, Ji Tianxing continued, "The Taiyu Shrine has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years. Almost nothing as shocking as this has ever happened.
What motive did the mysterious expert have to do this to the townspeople?
Did the townspeople have some grudge with him?
Or did the mysterious expert do this to take revenge on the Jasper Hall? "
Ji Tianxing pretended to analyze the situation. The captain of the guards and the generals were also led astray by him.
