I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 983 - 366: Empress: The Chen Family Wife’s Masterful Scheme! Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish!

"Mr. Chen, you're finally back! I can only rely on you now!" Ji Weifeng knelt on the ground, his forehead hitting the stone with a "thump, thump" and bleeding slightly.

He was truly afraid.

The incident in Fengmu County this time was so widespread and vicious that it far exceeded the scope of ordinary cases.

The Gu God Sect was already seen as a thorn in the court's side, and the Li Family was closely tied to the county government. If anything went wrong, even if he, as the County Magistrate, was clean, it would be impossible to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Canglan River!

Not to mention losing his official hat; he might not even save his head!

More so, he'd be marked with infamy, forever scorned by the people of Fengmu County!

To serve as an official, dedicated wholeheartedly, and end up like this is something no one can accept!

"Mr. Chen, save me!" Ji Weifeng wailed, remaining on his knees.

"..."

Chen Mo looked around, watching the crying and desperate people outside, his heart already had a plan.

Before he could speak, the sound of whistling wind came from the distance. Looking up, he saw five figures sweeping towards the Government Square.

They were wearing the standard black robes of the Sky Scale Guard, hands on their sword hilts, exuding a murderous aura.

The leader was a tall, burly middle-aged man, wearing an iron badge that read "Hundred Household Officer" at his waist, who spoke in a deep voice: "Where is Ji Weifeng?"

"Lord Kuang?" Ji Weifeng was surprised to see them, "Why are you here?"

"I received reports of unrest in Fengmu County, possibly related to the Demon Sect, so I came specifically to understand the situation." Kuang Jie paused, frowning: "Why are you kneeling while speaking to me?"

The upheaval caused by the Gu God Sect not only impacted the Southern Border officials but also spread to the Sky Scale Guard.

In addition, the Blood Demon, disguised as Sky Scale Guard, wantonly slaughtering the people, created an extremely adverse impact, leading to a major reshuffle in the Tiannan branch.

Kuang Jie, as the newly appointed head of Tiannan, was walking a fine line, striving to prevent a recurrence by planting spies in various counties to keep a vigilant eye on the Demon Sect's movements.

"I..."

Before Ji Weifeng could reply, Kuang Jie noticed Chen Mo and others, his eyes narrowing slightly, "So, colleagues from Nantu? I didn't expect you to arrive sooner than us; your reach is quite far, isn't it?"

The Dark Scale Black Robe clearly indicated their identity.

Located at the junction of Tiannan and Nantu, Fengmu County often saw clashes between the two branches.

Ultimately, it was Tiannan's territory. In Kuang Jie's view, it was overstepping boundaries, blatantly coming to steal the credit!

"Who told you I'm from Nantu?" Chen Mo shook his head, "Besides, if we were to dawdle like you, we'd only be waiting to collect corpses of the city folk."

"What did you say?" A purported Assistant Officer behind Kuang Jie jumped out, pointing at Chen Mo angrily: "On Tiannan's turf and dare to act so brazenly? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth to shreds..."

Smack—

Before the words landed, a shadow flashed by.

That Assistant Officer hadn't even reacted when pain surged through his knees, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

Li Yuan's knife sheath struck his face as an afterimage, breaking yellowed teeth mingled with blood, spraying in all directions!

"Presumptuous!"

"Stop it!"

The Tiannan guard officers were both shocked and enraged, not expecting their opponents to be so rude, daring to assault a colleague!

Kuang Jie's eyes turned cold, about to draw his sword when suddenly, a beautiful yet icy woman appeared before him. With the sound of bones cracking, his right hand was twisted forcefully!

"A mere Hundred Household Officer dares to draw a sword before me?" Ye Zi'e squinted, her eyes radiating an eerie chill, "Such boldness!"

?!

Kuang Jie's body trembled fiercely!

Only then did he realize the grave mistake made!

Seeing them, he instinctively assumed they were from the Nantu Branch, overlooking Ji Weifeng's submissive attitude...

A mere Hundred Household Officer?

The arrogance in their demeanor hinted at the person's significant status, perhaps a Deputy Thousand Households, or even higher?!

Seeing his subordinates about to rush over, Kuang Jie hastily yelled to stop them: "Put down the weapons! No one moves without my order!"

He then ignored the gory state of his right hand, bowing: "I am Kuang Jie, Hundred Household Officer from the Tiannan Branch, unaware of the visit of the Lord Thousand Households, I apologize for my rudeness!"

"What?"

"Thousand Households?"

The Tiannan officers stood stunned, confused.

Can it be true?

In such a forsaken place, two mighty figures showed up?

"Why are you standing there stupidly? Hurry up and greet Lord Thousand Households!" Kuang Jie shouted sternly.

The crowd snapped out of it, hurriedly kneeling, "Greetings, Lord Thousand Households!"
