Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 236 - 221 National Protection Temple_2

Previously, while wantonly slaughtering the wealthy officials on Hutong Mountain, Tie Dan discovered that two legitimate constables arrived in no time, indicating that the Six Gates must have some kind of alarm mechanism. Even though common folk are often oppressed and wronged by the Gate Valve Families, the constables can pretend to turn a blind eye and deaf ear, unable to see or hear or bother about it.

But as soon as someone urinates near the master’s gate, steals a pot of flowers, or breaks a glass, it becomes a colossal matter that requires investigation. They have to rush there swiftly, constantly keeping the broken cup in mind and handling it with care.

Matters as trivial as a master’s petty grievances become capital cases or major cases for the henchmen, which they must supervise and prosecute strictly, making them bite the hook and take the bait.

So, the process generally goes like this.

An alarm is raised at the imperial manor in the outskirts, reporting that some gold and silver have been stolen. Thankfully, there were no casualties, but the fact that someone could infiltrate such a crucial area of the Imperial Residence isn’t something a common person could do, perhaps it was some Heterodox Mixed Cultivator who gained an Immortal’s inheritance and resorted to petty theft. Thus, there’s no need to dispatch many people from afar to catch the thief, just draw lots and let an unfortunate one visit the scene, take a look.

Then, when this unlucky fellow nears the area, not even reaching the scene yet, they notice a suspicious person nearby. Upon further investigation, ha, just a Foundation Establishment Stage flower thief! Hmph, a gang of fraudsters, hustlers, thieves, and looters, birds of a feather! The security is generally good in this affluent area, how could there be so many thieves? The one committing the theft must be him! Doesn’t matter if he really stole anything, it’s perfectly fine to catch someone and close the case!

Wait! Flower picking? What flowers are being picked here! This place, what flowers could there be to pick! Well well! Even dare to steal the concubines and maidservants kept by the officials! Ah! Could it still be a young lady of noble birth! Father’s opportunity has come! Ahem, no, let’s start over...

"Hmph! Truly audacious! Beneath the Imperial City! Also, to seek death! Take! Your! Life!"

"Swish!"

"Ah!"

Hmm, so yet another unlucky soul ends up coming...

Jian Jia stared blankly at the sword in her hand,

"Third person... a dignified Nascent Soul expert, killed just like that, it’s too easy..."

Tie Dan said,

"Of course it’s easy, the abilities of the Sword Sect are specifically designed to counter them. Every strike is faster than their Gang Fist gathering energy, every sword technique targets the vulnerability in the Gang Fist’s form.

Those Martial God warriors may be formidable commanders on the battlefield, but once they shed their armor and release their energy, in the palace, they become meat on the chopping block for the Sword Guard Death Soldiers. With just an order, they can be flipped and executed. This was a security mechanism designed by the Demon Palace from its inception.

And it’s precisely because this security mechanism has failed, that the Three Constellations are now completely out of control."

Jian Jia frowned,

"I heard you used to be just a dog, how do you know so much? Who told you these secrets of the Demon Palace?"

Tie Dan was silent for a moment, then stood up,

"Third time’s the charm, the Six Gates aren’t fools. Three Nascent Soul experts died in one night, they will definitely notice, let’s go, change places."

This time Jian Jia obediently listened, not knowing what this mutt had experienced in the past two years, but being able to easily arrange to kill Nascent Soul experts, what else was there to argue about, go where he said to go...

Right then, the two set up the crime scene and promptly made their exit, then moved to other villages and towns to carry out their activities.

Sure enough, not only the Six Gates were stunned! The Imperial City’s residents were also thrilled!

The common folks of the capital particularly enjoyed scandals, especially when there were already rumors in Jianghu about the Demon Sect’s attempted assassination of the Supreme Bliss, and war with the Southern Country. They never thought the villain would commit crimes in Sizhou, and would slaughter the experts of the Left Supervisory right from the start.

Now with three of the government’s claws dying a horrible death, exposed in public, many saw it and yet were left with a challenge. The rumor spread rapidly the next day among the alleys and streets, as many awaited the spectacle.

The Six Gates mobilized immediately, not only did the Minister of Justice Tributes head to Guangcheng Pass to search for the thief, but Inspector General Si Li also dispatched over a thousand troops to assist in maintaining order, rigorously checking the passersby.

However, Tie Dan was still maintaining control, as no officers from the Forbidden Army had appeared yet. This indicates that the Six Gates were still trying to control the situation, only deploying the troops they had on hand. Since so many constables have died, the thief is bound to be caught sooner or later, they also didn’t want to exaggerate the matter and lose face in the court.

The response from the Six Gates was indeed quite swift, showing that while the Demon Palace may be decaying, such oppressive violent apparatus still retained considerable execution power, though his purpose wasn’t really to slaughter all the Left Supervisory, just to give these people more work.

So, Tie Dan took his time, stirring up trouble here, then led Jian Jia to the west to make another move.

"Hmm? The Baozhong Temple? Isn’t this a place where retired eunuch palace attendants retire..."

Jian Jia glanced at the temple under the Northern Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, surrounded by farms and vegetable gardens, throwing a sideways glance at Tie Dan who led the way.

"You really have a death wish, daring to mess with the Inner Court’s tiger whiskers..."

"Hmph, a bunch of dead eunuchs, what whiskers could they have."

Indeed, if the Six Gates were the eyes and ears of the Three Constellations, then the Eunuch Factory Guards were the eyes and ears of Ziwei Constellation, specifically handling clan secrets, managing the affairs of the Immortal Emperor’s family. Naturally, they were full of experts, capable and resourceful. These two with just Golden Core cultivation could barely even reach the South Heavenly Gate of the celestial Ziwei Constellation before being exterminated.

But it’s fine, though they can’t beat the hale and hearty eunuchs, they can come to bully the old and weak instead.
