I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 170 - 92: Guardian Mansion, Before the Song Ancestral Hall, Chen Zhao Remembers Once—There Was One Person Who Guarded Black Mountain!

If one day I step out of Black Mountain, achieve the Great Innate Peak, and truly have a support and background...

Shouldn't I come back and settle scores with him?

To avoid long nights of uncertainty, of course, I must use thunderous means to deal with him directly!

But who would have thought!

Xie Wutong of the Demon Hunting Department actually found Wei Zongchang at Wei Mansion, colluding with the fugitives from the Demon Hunting Department's wanted list and recruiting them, saying that Wei Mansion was a den of snakes and rats, working together shamefully, intending to overturn the case for Jixia!

Moreover, there was indeed convincing evidence.

Thus, with no other choice, Chen Gong could only curse Wei Zongchang for being unbelievably stupid while instructing Chen Jing to lead the Military Department, act and report afterwards, while he himself headed to the Demon Hunting Department to delay for a moment.

After all.

If it turns out that Jixia's killing of Wei Zongchang is justified.

Then he had already butchered him.

What can be done about it?

An accidental judgment, it's just an accidental judgment, once dead, all issues vanish!

Unexpectedly...

When arriving at the Demon Hunting Department, he realized that today's Demon Hunting Department was unexpectedly lively!

First, Xie Wutong argued for Jixia's innocence and thus invited Peng Xingzou from Yunluan Mountain.

Soon after, considering Pei Lvye's position, it was rumored that Ye Jing, the eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief with a prestigious background and an extraordinary family system, had arrived at Black Mountain for some reasons.

One after another, they showed their faces!

Demon Hunting Department, Judgement Hall.

Ye Jing, the eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief, stood tall in his Demon Hunting Robe, with his hair tied.

Listening to Xie Wutong explaining the cause and effect succinctly on the side, while 'Wang Cuishan's corpse was directly brought over, and the wanted order from Shunan Prefecture was considerately provided.

Plus, somehow inviting Pei Lvye...

Made Ye Jing ponder for a moment, glanced at Chen Gong who looked displeased, but still made his judgment:

"Lord Chen, in Black Mountain, killing a Great Innate is indeed disrespect and provocation to the Government Office and Demon Hunting Department, that's right."

"But if..."

"Wei Mansion itself sheltered fugitives from the Demon Hunting Department, then regardless of how Jixia killed him, the charges become null."

"On the contrary, he is meritorious and blameless."

"So..."

"I believe, is it really appropriate for the Guardian Mansion to spend so heavily to kill such an outstanding person?"

Upon hearing his superior's judgment, Xie Wutong nodded hastily:

"Exactly, precisely."

"Passing judgment should be clear about right and wrong, how can one make a hasty judgment without fully understanding the situation?"

"There's no such logic in the world!"

In an instant, Ye Jing's disregard for the Guardian Mansion's prestige boosted Xie Wutong's goodwill toward this 'parachute' connection.

Having a superior who can handle things is beneficial anywhere in the world!

"Indeed, and that Jixia was granted the qualification to enter the mountain gate, although he hasn't passed the evaluation, nor has he registered, but..."

"Does the Guardian Mansion never care about the face of my Yunluan Mountain?"

Pei Lvye, seated quietly, with bright eyes, upon Ye Jing's ruling, immediately pressured Chen Gong, which made Chen Qingping beside him turn pale instantly.

However...

As time ticked by.

Chen Gong pretended to ponder in silence.

When he judged the timing to be right, he subtly raised his brow:

"In that case..."

"This matter, I really acted inappropriately, but..."

In his Guardian Mansion official attire, Chen Gong hesitated.

Immediately, made Xie Wutong have a bad premonition:

"Lord Chen...what do you mean by this?!"

Chen Gong feigned annoyance:

"Previously, upon hearing Jixia's impudent actions, if he were to grow, it would be unbearable. Thus, I proactively requested the Military Department Commander's intervention, dispatched martial soldiers, to eradicate him."

"Now considering the timing, even if we rush to stop it, it's likely too late."

"The fault lies in my hasty consideration, failing to foresee Wei Mansion's harboring of Demon Hunting fugitives."

"Although Jixia didn't inform the Demon Hunting Department or Guardian Mansion about Wei Mansion's details, maybe he himself was unaware, only having a personal vendetta. He can't be declared entirely innocent."

"Afterwards, I'll apologize to Lord Guardian, sorry to trouble the three of you."

Saying this, he was about to leave.

But once his words were spoken, Pei Lvye furrowed her brows slightly, unaccustomed to such deceit from this local serpent, feeling a pity for the young man she had some affection for.

As for Xie Wutong.

Recalling the letter sent, his face changed, biting silver teeth, looking at Chen Gong's departing figure:

"Crafty old fox!"

"How shameless can one be?"

No,

He killed the person.

If the elder truly confronts me, who do I turn to!?

No way!

Xie Wutong glanced at Pei Lvye beside him, and Ye Jing who looked at Chen Gong with some 'speechlessness', immediately made a decisive request:

"Peng Xingzou, Director Ye, I'd like to bring several colleagues along to have a look!"

"We can't let such a case be hastily concluded, can we?!"

Having said this, he didn't glance at Chen Gong and his daughter.

Only staring at the young Demon Hunting Department Director ahead.

Ye Jing hesitated not for a moment, simply nodded: "Approved."

Hence, Xie Wutong took the mandate and led a group, inviting Pei Lvye along.

Upon departure, still gritting teeth in prayer:

"Jixia, oh Jixia, you truly are compelling me to disbelief!"

"If you don't have some relation with my family elder, see how I handle you!"

"But before that..."

"You must hold on!"

Just as she left.

Chen Gong already had a trace of a smile.

By now, likely, too late to change anything.

What can be done at this point?

Yet...

When an 'official' from the Guardian Mansion hurriedly came to the Demon Hunting Department, informing Chen Gong of some news...

The smile on his face.

Instantly froze.

...

At the same time.

The Guardian Mansion!
