Chapter 2290 - 1211: Master Above_2

Not only is grace bestowed, but prestige is established alongside it. Several elders loyal to Sheng Jingxuan were brutally captured, crying and begging for mercy proved futile.

If it weren’t for the need to interrogate some information, Yang Xiao judged that Elder Sheng would have ordered these guys to be executed publicly long ago, keeping them alive only wastes grain, damn it.

A new emperor means new officials. Seeing the methods of the elders towards these rebellious elders, it was evident that everyone had been holding a belly full of fire all these years.

Now that Elder Sheng has returned, with a change of dynasties, these guys are bound to suffer.

But Yang Xiao didn’t care about this. Now with the academy reclaimed, Yang Xiao was genuinely happy for Elder Sheng. Of course, he himself would earn a substantial amount of credit.

Whenever he thought about the aftermath of this battle, his long-awaited Deputy Director position was almost within his grasp, he couldn’t suppress his joy.

That is a First-level Deputy position, which will become a brand-new starting point in his career.

Dressed in fine clothes without returning home is like parading in splendid clothes at night. When he returns home in glory, Director Nalan and everyone in Rongcheng will definitely be proud of him.

All of this was achieved by himself through sweat and effort, step by step.

Now, with matters unresolved, Sheng Yanlin is very busy. He can’t disturb him. Yang Xiao found a quiet place and sent a message to Hong Anguo, asking him to continue blocking Yiling City.

Hong Anguo quickly replied, agreed to implement, and the two agreed to meet tonight at the temporary base in the south of the city.

After reclaiming the academy, those with official Patrol Defense Office ranks staying inside the academy was not quite appropriate, so under Yang Xiao’s arrangements, except for leaving necessary personnel, the rest were all withdrawn, leaving Yiling Academy to clean up this mess.

In this great battle, Yang Xiao was truly in the spotlight. Nowadays, while walking in the academy, everyone would greet him proactively, their attitudes exceptionally courteous.

After handling many miscellaneous affairs, Yang Xiao first looked for a place to take a bath, changed into new clothes, hastily ate a meal, and after a brief rest, this busy man headed to the temporary base established in Yiling City by the Patrol Defense Office.

During his journey, he accidentally encountered a small-scale firefight, it was Sheng Jingxuan’s diehard followers resisting desperately.

However, facing Yiling Academy’s team secretly assisted by Patrol Defense Office experts, these guys stood no chance, and within 7 or 8 minutes, they were completely destroyed.

The vehicle slowly passed by, staring at the bloodied corpses with severed heads on the ground, still wearing Yiling Academy’s clothes, Yang Xiao sighed slowly in his heart.

But that’s all, there’s no change of dynasties without bloodshed, Yang Xiao was only thankful that they won this time, because if they lost, the ones lying on the ground would have been them.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, Yang Xiao finally arrived at this temporary base and waited for about half an hour, Hong Anguo hurried over.

"Younger Brother Yang, congratulations, congratulations, for directly defeating the Master of Ruyi Sect, assisting Elder Sheng in reclaiming the academy, you are the main hero!" Upon seeing Yang Xiao again, Hong Anguo was full of smiles.

"This wouldn’t have been possible without Brother Hong’s support from behind the scenes. I must say, Brother Hong is the real hero behind the curtains!" Yang Xiao clasped his hands and smiled.

"Hahaha—" Hong Anguo laughed heartily, raised his hand to put an arm around Yang Xiao’s shoulder, the two sat down in front of the sofa, close as if they were brothers, "This wouldn’t have been possible without Younger Brother Yang’s recommendation. Rest assured, you’ve been good to your brother, your brother has it in mind, will surely repay you someday."

"Brother Hong, what’s the situation outside the city?" After some courteous words, Yang Xiao got to the point. Not long ago, he tried to contact Qu Muzhi, but there was no signal.

Upon mentioning outside the city, Hong Anguo took a deep breath, his face rarely showing a hint of fear: "While you guys were fighting in the city, outside was a mess too, the Chamber of Commerce, United Federation, and Bone Painting Tower’s reinforcements were all repelled. Moreover, some martial arts world forces also came to stir the waters, these guys are really damned!"

"Three Netherworld Envoys sent by the Chamber of Commerce battled fiercely with our people, but in the end, they were defeated by Senior Waxman Zhang and were driven off. It’s heard that the leading person was Cold River Lonely Elder Xie Yanyan, well-known, very difficult to deal with."

"United Federation and Bone Painting Tower formed an allied army, leading United Federation was their Vice President Life-taking Yama Pei Yan, and leading Bone Painting Tower was their Little House Lord Bai Wuchang, these two are famous big figures in the martial world."

"We were originally responsible for resisting Wei Chen, Chief Wei, who is also a very famous big figure, the deputy of Chief Commissioner Gu, also the General Commander of the Second Combat Team."

"Seeing that both parties failed to agree and were about to resort to violence, guess what? Ha, reinforcements arrived."

"Our previous guess was wrong, Sheng Yanlin secretly connected not with the United Federation, but this guy."

"The person who came is a major criminal on the General Bureau’s wanted list, Northwest Sword Leader Mo Shasheng, it’s said this person used only two swords to destroy Bai Wuchang’s high-level puppet and repelled the allied forces of the United Federation and Bone Painting Tower."

"Major criminal..." Yang Xiao understood immediately, previously Elder Mo Qing had reminded him, not to tell him was for his own good, it was probably here for this reason.

This person was a major criminal wanted by the Patrol Defense Office, if he knew and did not report, it would be disloyal to the organization. If he reported it, it would mean indirectly harming this person, backstabbing Elder Sheng, whichever way he wouldn’t be favored internally.

The best solution was not to inform him, to avoid blaming anyone who does not know.

As for the power of this Northwest Sword Leader, Yang Xiao did not doubt at all. After all, he was someone capable of heavily injuring Little Holy Spirit White Buddha, presumably with few equals in the martial world.
