Shennong Dao Master

"Is this information accurate?" Luo Hou King's face clearly showed some shock.

"Yes, I have already killed him," the subordinate replied.

Luo Hou King looked serious, "Don't claim credit casually; after-the-fact review, if found to be exaggerated, it's a very serious issue."

"I have a complete enforcement record, in triplicate, including the Mirage Pearl, Echo Shell, Assistant Officer testimony, and confirmation by the Judicial Yin God," Zhao Xing said.

"..."

Luo Hou King was silent for a long time.

This news was indeed quite astonishing.

Because Luo Hou King's understanding of Zhao Xing was somewhat outdated.

He knew Zhao Xing had completed the First Level of the Derivation God Decision.

But, he didn't know Zhao Xing was a record-breaker; Derivation God Decision not only condenses seven Main Souls, but the Main Souls can also merge into one.

At the First Level, the Life Soul can already split into 49,999!

Moreover, he knew Zhao Xing had a clone that went to the Xuantian Academy branch and the Kunyuan Academy headquarters and had already mastered top-level skills.

But he did not know to what extent Zhao Xing had practiced, nor did he know his clone could also use top-level skills, and that Li Boqian taught him [Kunpeng Transformation] and [Near and Far].

In Luo Hou King's view, Zhao Xing was still very young and inexperienced, with a significant gap when facing third-rank powerhouses, perhaps able to save his life in front of a third-rank.

But to say kill a third-rank? Luo Hou King did not have that fantasy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only given Zhao Xing a temporary position as the 'Pinghai State Five Prefectures Third-level Inspection Commissioner.'

Controlling officials below the third-rank symbolized that, in Luo Hou King's heart, he thought Zhao Xing could not handle high-grade matters yet.

Now suddenly telling him that Zhao Xing killed the Tianxia King.

How could Luo Hou King not be shocked?

"Alright, I understand."

"Keep the original records safe and archive them; I will send someone to collect them later. Also, write a detailed account of the incident in a report form and submit it to me," Luo Hou King said.

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded, as this was also part of the enforcement procedure of an inspection envoy.

Such great power wasn't something that allowed arbitrary killings; the necessary procedures have to be followed.

"I still have another matter to report, please, Prince, make a decision," Zhao Xing said.

"Go ahead."

"Now that the Tianxia King is dead, can I conduct a house raid on him? If so, after the raid, how should these illicit items be handled? Should they be sent for storage at the Tianhe Prefecture's Seized Items Department, or will there be other arrangements?"

"With a large number of vacancies in the officials of the six counties, can I make temporary appointments?"

In fact, Zhao Xing was quite familiar with these procedures, having been cut down by Lao Liu so many times in his past life.

But now that he has just taken office, he couldn't appear too proficient.

He had to give Luo Hou King, the big boss, a chance to give guidance.

As expected, Luo Hou King immediately said, "You are not qualified to conduct a raid on a third-rank rebel king; by procedure, only a second-level inspection envoy has the authority."

"However, special cases require special handling. If we wait for me to send someone, it will inevitably delay your progress."

"Here's how it will be: I will issue a royal decree through the channel of the Li Fire Taoist School, granting you special permission to conduct the house raid and temporary appointments."

"You may first transport the illicit items back to Tianhe Prefecture, and later I will send someone to inventory them."

"Understood." Zhao Xing obediently listened.

This way, he would be carrying out the house raid in the name of Luo Hou King, and there would be no issue with the procedure.

If anyone questioned it? Then let them argue with Luo Hou King!

Luo Hou King was indeed backing up Zhao Xing with this move.

...

Luo Hou King's words successfully attracted the attention of Prince Xin and Prince Anning.

"Who killed the Tianxia King? Was it the Bright Moon Prefecture Master?" Prince Xin Liu Yong couldn't help being curious and asked, "Why don't I remember the Bright Moon Prefecture Master also took on the role of a military inspector?"

Prince Xin was referring to the Bright Moon Prefecture next to Tianhe Prefecture.

Bright Moon Prefecture Master Ye Yuxong was not the Prefecture Lord, but the Dean of the Mingyue Military Academy.

It's just that Prince Xin Liu Yong and Prince Anning Ji Anning, these old-timers, were accustomed to calling Ye Yuxong the Bright Moon Prefecture Master.

Because the eastern six counties of the Tianxia King were adjacent to Bright Moon Prefecture.

So both of them thought it was Bright Moon Prefecture Master Ye Yuxong who killed the Tianxia King.

So thinking seemed very reasonable, because Ye Yuxong was a sword path powerhouse of third-grade perfection, and he made his name many years before the Tianxia King.

The set of Bright Moon Sword Technique and Moon Shadow Movement Technique he invented were all top-level techniques.

"It wasn't him." Luo Hou King shook his head. "It was Zhao Xing."

"Who?!" Prince Xin Liu Yong was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong, and confirmed again, "Is, is it that Zhao Xing?"

"Don't tell me it's Liu Tianning's disciple Zhao Xing." Prince Anning also widened his eyes.

"Yes, it's him." Luo Hou King nodded, "To be honest, I can hardly believe it myself, but I expect he would not dare lie to me about such a matter."

"How, how is that possible?!" Prince Xin was dumbfounded.

His main impression of Zhao Xing was still stuck in the battle for a spot in the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

Back then, Zhao Xing was just a fifth-rank.

The cultivation of Derivation God Decision and the learning of top-level techniques, Prince Xin was entirely unaware of these.

But that was just in the Jingxin Calendar year 30.

Only five years have passed, and Zhao Xing actually defeated a third-rank?

The Tianxia King wasn't just any third-rank!

"So it was him, it seems to be..." Prince Anning quickly accepted this news.

Being the Sealing King of the Shangyu Bureau, he knew more than Prince Xin because he was in charge of intelligence.

"What is it, you should tell us." Prince Xin Liu Yong urged.

"It's confidential," Prince Anning smiled, "I can't tell you."

"..." Prince Xin Liu Yong was so furious that he was left gasping, but he was helpless.

"I didn't expect it, only five years." Prince Anning lamented, "His rate of growth is too fast, there must have been great achievements wherever that was."
