Chapter 444 - 343. Request for Assignment
In the Yulin Army training ground, the black-clad spies and the silver-armored Yulin Army stood distinct and at odds.
Wu Xuange stood gripping his spear, facing Xuan Snake in front of all the Yulin Army, and loudly questioned: "Are you here because of the Korean Envoy case, or are you harboring personal motives? If it’s just for your Ritual Supervision’s internal strife, it seems you’ve gone mad wanting to be ’Top Three’; you’re well aware this matter has nothing to do with my Left Brave Guard of the Yulin Army."
Xuan Snake replied with a meaningful tone: "Commander Wu is so certain that it has nothing to do with your Left Brave Guard, could it be you know who the real culprit is? Hurry and reveal the true culprit, and I will immediately capture and bring them to justice."
Wu Xuange’s expression gradually darkened.
Everyone speculated it was the Chen family and the Xu family, but that thin layer of paper could not be pierced.
Seeing his reluctance to speak, Xuan Snake sneered: "When I reached the zodiac position, you were but a small commander in the Longevity Army. It’s not your place to teach me how to conduct affairs. Don’t think I’m abusing my power for personal gain; today’s events have incited the wrath of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and not only you will be investigated, but all officials, clerks, and commoners present at the time as well! Take him to the Imperial Prison, and if anyone obstructs, kill without mercy!"
The spies rushed forward, seizing Wu Xuange’s arms, but he remained rooted to the spot, immovable.
Perched leisurely on his horse, Xuan Snake continued: "Do you really think just because you have Wu Xiu as your backer, you can openly defy my Spy Department? If you remain obstinate, I may have to act first and report later. Wu Xiu has invested many resources to elevate you to the Peak of Innate; do you really think you are my match?"
After a moment of silence, Wu Xuange slowly released the energy from his body, letting his long spear clang as it dropped to the training ground.
