"Mr. Ye, you're finally back." The two of them came before Ye Xuan. Their voices were filled with excitement as they bowed.
"I called Azure Dragon, but I couldn't get through. Where is he?" Ye Xuan asked softly.
At the mention of Azure Dragon, Ling Long bit her lips and a worried look appeared on her face. She quickly described to Ye Xuan what had happened to the world in the past six months.
The Bloodsoul Exotic Beasts were wreaking havoc all over the world, and the Xia was no exception. The entire Martial Security Department was mobilized to fight the Bloodsoul Exotic Beasts all over the country. The communication facilities from before had long been abandoned.
Even though the Martial Security Department was understaffed, Azure Dragon still left Tie Li and Ling Long in the Capital to wait for Ye Xuan's appearance.
Ye Xuan was not surprised at all as he listened to Ling Long's description of the world's changes. After all, these Bloodsoul Exotic Beasts had escaped from the Blood Sea Battlefield. He had already expected this situation.
As Ling Long continued to describe, Ye Xuan also learned about the supernatural forces that had appeared all over the world. However, these things did not affect him in the slightest.
However, Ye Xuan could clearly sense that when Ling Long mentioned some of the powerful people of the present era, her eyes were filled with great respect. She even seemed to have transformed into a lark, talking endlessly to Ye Xuan.
"Mr. Ye, you might not know this, but I saw Sword God Ye Lingtian kill the East Sea Giant Beast with a single slash with my own eyes. There was also that Absolute Heaven Sword God. With just one slash, he even …"
Before Ling Long could continue, Ye Xuan frowned slightly and waved his hand to interrupt her. "I'm not interested in knowing who these people are. I've summoned the two of you here today because there's something I need you to do."
Ling Long held her breath when she saw Ye Xuan frowning slightly. She quickly stopped talking.
"Mr. Ye, you saved Ling Long's life, and I dare not forget the oath we made back then. No matter what orders you have, Ling Long will definitely not refuse," Ling Long said solemnly.
Ye Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw Ling Long's respectful attitude. He had saved this woman back then so that she could help him with some matters. Otherwise, Ye Xuan would not be so kind as to save someone who had nothing to do with him.
"First, pass down my orders. Mobilize all the men of the Wu 'an department and find the real culprit behind the assassination of Ye Ling' er at the airport in Jingdu half a year ago."
"The second matter is that I need a group of death warriors for my use. As for how to find these death warriors, I'll leave it to the two of you to decide. However, you must get it done in the shortest time possible," Ye Xuan said firmly.
Tie Li and Ling Long were stunned when Ye Xuan instructed them to do these two things. A troubled expression flashed across their faces. Tie Li even had a bitter smile on his face as he said, "Mr. Ye, you think too highly of the two of us. Although the second matter is difficult to handle, it's not impossible."
"But the first thing you ordered is to mobilize the entire Wu 'an department's strength. However, the members of Wu' an department's eight teams have all gone to various places to fight exotic beasts. With just a word from you, how can they …" Tie Li wanted to say something, but he stopped and did not continue.
Obviously, Ye Xuan was only a guest of Earth Team. He did not have that much authority to mobilize the entire Wu 'an department for his use.
If it were the previous world, with Ye Xuan's reputation, the eight team leaders would give him some face. However, the entire world was in turmoil now. The eight team leaders were already in a terrible fix. How could they have the time to help Ye Xuan investigate the so-called real culprit behind the scenes?
Ye Xuan naturally understood this logic. However, since he could say such words, he naturally had a certain level of confidence.
"Tell the eight team leaders that I want to see them at the Wu 'an department headquarters in seven days. If any of them don't show up, then don't blame me, Ye Xuan, for falling out with them."
Ye Xuan's voice was cold, causing Tie Li and Ling Long's faces to turn bitter. However, they could only agree because both of them knew that this Mr. Ye in front of them was a man of his word. The two of them only needed to pass on the message. As for whether the eight team leaders came or not, it had nothing to do with the two of them.
Ye Xuan gave the two of them some more instructions. An hour later, Ye Xuan drifted away.
Looking at Ye Xuan's disappearing figure, Tie Li sighed. Then, he looked at Ling Long and said with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Ling Long, you didn't tell Mr. Ye that the Nation Protector Sword God wants to take you as his disciple."
"Don't mention this again. You should know that I've already sworn to serve Mr. Ye for ten years. How can I really take Ye Lingtian as my master?" Ling Long said coldly.
"B-But are you really willing to do that?" Tie Li's expression was complicated as he continued, "You must know that Ye Lingtian was the second strongest expert in the world a hundred years ago. His sword technique is divine. If you can obtain his inheritance, you'll definitely be an outstanding person in the future. Why don't you beg Mr. Ye and ask him to let you go …"
"Alright, stop talking." Ling Long's expression turned cold. She turned around and walked away.
"Sigh!"
Tie Li sighed. He knew that this matter was too difficult. He quickly followed Ling Long and the two of them disappeared into the night.
…
The warden, as the name suggested, was a place to imprison criminals.
Since ancient times, anyone who had committed a serious crime would be sentenced by the Supreme Court and imprisoned in the Warden's Prison to serve their sentence. Some of the most heinous criminals would also be temporarily detained in the Warden's Prison before they were executed.
Using heavy punishments in troubled times was a precedent in every dynasty, and the Xia Kingdom was no exception.
With the world in turmoil, there would naturally be people with ulterior motives stirring up trouble. However, in front of the colossus that was Xia, those with ulterior motives were directly suppressed. Those with light crimes were sentenced to death while those with heinous crimes were sentenced to death. This caused the warden to become overcrowded.
Capital City, the warden.
The black iron gate was tightly shut. An electric net of brambles and iron wires flickered with blue lightning from time to time. There were also heavily guarded soldiers patrolling the prison.
At this moment, Ye Xuan stood in front of the prison gate, attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers. However, Ye Xuan did not do anything out of the ordinary, so it was not appropriate for the soldiers to investigate.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the prison gate slowly opened. A middle-aged man in an official's uniform walked out quickly, followed by a large number of prison guards. These people walked nervously towards Ye Xuan with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Ye, we are honored by your presence. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
Zhang Bin, the warden of the Capital City. Although his official position was not high, and he was even less popular in the Capital City, in this prison, he was the supreme existence.
Originally, Zhang Bin was very leisurely. He was so leisurely that he played cards every day, drank a few sips of wine in the office, and patrolled the prison with his subordinates when he was free. As long as he ensured that the criminals did not escape, it could be said that his life was very peaceful.
However, Zhang Bin's peaceful days had come to an end!
Just last night, he was still sleeping in his warm bed when a call from the Ministry of War woke him up completely. He even told him that an extremely important person would be coming to the Capital City's warden for an inspection today. No matter what the other party wanted, he had to cooperate fully.
