Chapter 409 - 211: Lu Shiran Appears Again
"Since it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t pursue it further." Li Hengsheng said casually.
"Seeing that you are fine, we are relieved." Mu Hongxue said with a smile, "If there is anything you need our help with, please feel free to instruct us, the Mu Mansion will spare no effort."
"Good."
"Then we will take our leave now."
Mu Hongxue called out, "Mu Jing, let’s go!"
But after saying this, there was no response from inside.
Li Hengsheng shook his head, "You fought on the street in front of the Inspection Mansion, which is a crime of disturbing the peace. But seeing it was because you were eager to see me, I won’t hold it against you. However, Mu Jing and Hua Zheliu caused trouble inside the Inspection Mansion, their crime is much greater, they won’t leave so easily."
These words changed the expressions of Hua Xianggu and Mu Hongxue.
Hua Xianggu almost gritted his teeth to the point of breaking.
But Mu Hongxue’s expression quickly returned to calm, as he realized Li Hengsheng was forcing them.
Forcing them to make a move.
He seemed to be looking for an excuse to deal with them, how could Mu Hongxue give Li Hengsheng such an opportunity?
"Understood, they deserve it." Mu Hongxue took a deep breath, then smiled slightly and said, "Our ancestor will be leaving seclusion today, and the Mu Mansion will hold a grand banquet. We hope the Inspector can grace us with your presence and have a drink."
The Mu Mansion’s ancestor is coming out of seclusion?
Upon hearing this news, everyone’s expression changed.
The ancestor of the Mu Mansion had surpassed the Innate level and entered the realm of Innate Perfection!
However, the ancestor of the Mu Mansion was nearing the end of his life and had been in seclusion trying to break through, but there had been no news for years.
Even though this time is likely another failed attempt, an expert at the Innate Perfection level coming out of seclusion would be a devastating blow to the Inspection Mansion, wouldn’t it?
"Alright, I’ll definitely be there."
Li Hengsheng, however, didn’t seem to mind at all, responding blandly.
Mu Hongxue was taken aback by Li Hengsheng’s attitude, surprised that even bringing up his own ancestor didn’t seem to concern Li Hengsheng?
What was going on?
Was he reliant on something, or just pretending?
"Mu Hongxue takes his leave."
Mu Hongxue said this and then turned to get on the carriage.
"Hmph!"
Hua Xianggu also let out a cold snort and quickly had Hua Chengfei’s body carried away.
The people from the Hua family and the Mu Mansion left, and the crowd quickly made way for them.
All the townspeople looked at Li Hengsheng, and at that moment, they couldn’t help but let out a noise, having never seen the Hua family and the Mu Mansion suffer such a huge loss before?
And it happened right in front of their eyes!
Seeing them leave, Li Hengsheng also put away the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear, turning to look at the two dumbfounded people standing behind him.
"Uncle Xu, sorry to have worried you." Li Hengsheng said with a smile.
Xu Kui was at a loss for words but was glad that Li Hengsheng was alive.
So, he also smiled and said, "As long as you’re alive, that’s good!"
"And who might this be?" Li Hengsheng looked at Wan Guifeng, curious about the newly emerged Innate Powerhouse.
"Inspector, I am Wan Guifeng, from Jiangxue Dao." Wan Guifeng introduced himself, "I am the divine constable of the Jiangxue Dao Inspection Mansion."
"Jiangxue Dao?"
Li Hengsheng raised an eyebrow, "That’s the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, right?"
"Yes, my Inspector heard about your previous incident and was concerned there might be issues at the Inspection Mansion here, so he sent me to help." Wan Guifeng said with a smile.
"Young master, if not for Divine Constable Wan helping us these past few days, the Inspection Mansion wouldn’t have had it so easy. Lin Qizhu almost died at the hands of Mu San a few days ago; it was Divine Constable Wan who saved him."
"Thank you, Divine Constable Wan."
Li Hengsheng gratefully cupped his hands in salute.
"No need to be polite, Sir. It was an order from our Inspector, to ensure your safety here."
Wan Guifeng quickly said.
"What’s the name of your Inspector?" Li Hengsheng was curious.
"Our lord’s name is Zong Guan." Wan Guifeng replied.
"Zong Guan?"
Li Hengsheng was taken aback by this unfamiliar name, not recognizing it.
Moreover, it seemed he wasn’t a recent Innate Powerhouse, which means he wasn’t someone Li Hengsheng met during the Ghostly Realm trials.
But since he didn’t know him, why would the other party want to help him?
Seeing Li Hengsheng’s puzzled expression, Wan Guifeng smiled and said, "Are you wondering why my Inspector sent me to help? Actually, our Master doesn’t know you personally."
"The reason I was sent to help is that the higher-ups in the Dynasty gave the order, which came from the ancestor. It’s because the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable heard you came to the National Guardian Mansion, so he sent a letter to our dynasty’s ancestor, requesting to protect you." Wan Guifeng explained with a smile, as Zong Guan had told him before coming here.
Otherwise, they were also worried Li Hengsheng might misinterpret it.
"Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable?"
Li Hengsheng was greatly shocked.
He never thought the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable still remembered him.
Thinking of the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, Li Hengsheng felt a warm sensation in his heart, reminiscing about the senior who continuously helped him during the Ghostly Realm trials, even falling out with Guanglan Palace over him, who brought warmth to the human world.
And now upon learning he had come to the National Guardian Mansion, the venerable took the initiative to seek the Great Yuan Dynasty’s help to ensure his protection.
