“According to the information on the mission, our target this time is a base of the White Lotus Sect in Green Cloud County. Although the highest cultivation is only at the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm, I don’t have full confidence in facing their large numbers alone!”

After Lu Yun didn’t object, Xiao Chen directly stated the contents of the mission.

“Do we need to make any other preparations?” Lu Yun asked.

Xiao Chen touched the blue sword in his hand and said indifferently, “One person, one sword.”

“Alright, just wait a moment.”

After saying that, Lu Yun turned and entered the door. Within a few breaths, he came back out, but now had a saber on his body.

After leaving the elite disciple’s living quarters in the valley, the two reported to the Internal Affairs Hall of the Martial Academy.

Martial Academy disciples needed to report when leaving the academy. Since Lu Yun and Xiao Chen were leaving for a mission, the Elder in charge of disciple affairs didn’t ask any questions, and simply registered their departure.

Green Cloud County, one of the thirteen counties under the jurisdiction of Spirit Martial Prefecture, is located south of the county capital and north of Cloud Water County.

Although it’s not too far away, it still takes more than half a month to get there.

To save time, the two went to the county capital to buy two fine horses before setting off.

After about ten days, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen finally arrived in Green Cloud County.

Like Cloud Water County, the highest official here is the County Magistrate. As soon as they entered the county city, they went directly to the County Government Office.

After presenting their identity tokens, the door guard was immediately startled and awake, promptly inviting Lu Yun and Xiao Chen inside.

As soon as they entered the Government Hall, the County Magistrate of Green Cloud County came out to greet them without delay.

“I am Zhao Wuji, the Magistrate of Green Cloud County. May I have the honor of knowing the names of the two Heavenly Prides from the Martial Academy?”

“Flying Spirit Martial Academy’s Xiao Chen!”

“Flying Spirit Martial Academy’s Lu Yun!”

Lu Yun and Xiao Chen saluted simultaneously!

While speaking, Lu Yun also sized up the County Magistrate in front of him.

On the way, Xiao Chen had told Lu Yun everything related to the mission, including the magistrate, warden, and the family powers in Green Cloud County.

Zhao Wuji, a man from the Zhao family of Gusu County in Ling Province, had a cultivation at the late stage of the True Qi Realm.

Five years ago, he came to Green Cloud County as the Magistrate. Under his strong management, Green Cloud County underwent a drastic change; even the feuding families stopped fighting and lived in peace.

It must be said that Green Cloud County was able to maintain such a stable and peaceful situation thanks to Zhao Wuji’s hard work.

Regarding this, Lu Yun secretly admired his counterpart’s prowess.

His admiration was justified; even the big families from the county capital found it difficult to establish themselves in unfamiliar territories.

However, Zhao Wuji was able to suppress all the local forces, as steady as Mount Tai, and govern Green Cloud County with obedience, which was truly admirable.

As Lu Yun was sizing up Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji was also sizing up Xiao Chen and Lu Yun.

Both Xiao Chen and Lu Yun looked too young. Even though their appearances seemed to be older than their actual age for some reason, they still looked youthful.

Xiao Chen was better, as his cold temperament made him seem a bit more mature.

As for Lu Yun, despite his tall and strong build, it could not conceal the innocence on his face.

After a brief examination, Zhao Wuji withdrew his gaze, smiling and laughing, “It is an honor for my Green Cloud County and for me that Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lu from the Martial Academy have come here.”

“How about this, after their long journey, I will host a banquet at Bright Moon Building to entertain the two young masters.”

After saying that, he called out to the outside, “Come in!”

“Lord Zhao!”

The attendant outside responded and entered.

“Notify Bright Moon Building to prepare a banquet tonight, as I will entertain the two young Heavenly Prides from the Martial Academy!”

“No need, my Junior Brother Lu and 1 have urgent matters to attend to, and we cannot afford any delay. The reason for our visit is to gather some information and request help from Green Cloud County.”

Xiao Chen directly stopped the attendant who was about to leave and turned to Zhao Wuji.

If it were not a special matter with broad implications, he and Lu Yun would have gone directly to their destination.

Dealing with a slick official like Zhao Wuji was not something he desired.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji frowned slightly, and the smile on his face faded a bit. He said sincerely, “Since the two of you have urgent matters, naturally they cannot be delayed. I just don’t know if there is anything I can help with. If there is, 1 will do my best to cooperate!”

Apparently quite satisfied with his attitude, Xiao Chen’s stern expression softened a bit and he said indifferently:

“According to the information from the academy, in recent days, the activities of the White Lotus Sect have been extremely unusual, especially within the boundaries of Green Cloud County. They have frequently colluded with bandit forces and may have even developed it into a base!”

“Huh?!” Zhao Wuji’s forehead almost twisted into a “J 11” shape.

“I never noticed such a thing.”

“It’s normal for Lord Zhao not to notice, as the White Lotus Sect operates secretly. However, since our Martial Academy has discovered their whereabouts, it is time to eliminate them in their infancy.”

By the end, a rare trace of killing intent appeared on Xiao Chen’s handsome face.

The killing intent was fleeting, but Lu Yun still detected it.

After cultivating the Seven Kill Saber Technique to great accomplishment, his control and grasp of killing intent improved, and he became sensitive to killing intent. Naturally, he easily detected Xiao Chen’s transient killing intent.

“This guy has a story!”

Lu Yun glanced inconspicuously at Xiao Chen with a strange expression, and a story of love, hatred, and intrigue spanning tens of thousands of words emerged in his mind.

Zhao Wuji’s smile disappeared completely, and his expression turned solemn.

“Since it is information from the Martial Academy, it must be true.”

Having said that, his face turned serious.

“Come!”

“What does Lord Zhao command?”

The attendant who had been stopped by Xiao Chen earlier promptly stepped forward.

“Convey my order to summon Captain Wang immediately!”

“Yes!”

The attendant took the order and left.

After the attendant left, Zhao Wuji revealed his smile again: “Young masters, please come with me to the inner hall for a seat. I will have Captain Wang come and share information about the bandit situation in Green Cloud County.”

“Alright.”

It didn’t take long.

In the Government Hall, a tall, stern-faced middle-aged man with a saber on his waist entered.

“Lord Zhao!”

“Captain Wang is here, please have a seat!”

Captain Wang nodded slightly to Xiao Chen and Lu Yun, then sat down with dignity.

Zhao Wuji introduced him, “This is Captain Wang of our Green Cloud County. He is experienced and reliable in his work.”

Continuing, he said, “These two are the Heavenly Prides from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lu. They have come to our Green Cloud County for the matter of the White Lotus Sect, and they may need your help.”

“Young Master Xiao, Young Master Lu, if there is anything you need to know, you can ask Captain Wang.”

With Zhao Wuji’s assurance, Xiao Chen and Lu Yun turned their gazes to Captain Wang.

When Captain Wang first entered, Lu Yun had felt a strong killing intent from him, indicating that Captain Wang had been involved in a lot of bloodshed..
