3685: C3685 Stand-off

C3685 Stand-off

"Bandits."

Meng Fan said softly.

Under the candlelight, the main hall was dark. Meng Fan was sitting behind a green curtain with his eyes closed, consolidating his internal energy. He was refining pure gold and slowly opened his eyes after hearing a report from a bureaucrat.

This bureaucrat was an order officer for the Executive Hall. As Celestial King of Seven Turbulences, many years ago, he was once the second overall chief of the Executive Hall.

Meng Fan did not have the time to manage the specific matters of the Wu Steel Palace, so most of the work was entrusted to the Taoism Sail boat. However, the Taoism Sail boat had always been standing behind the scenes, only appearing during the academy's lecture.

Among the many organizations, Executive Hall and City Guard Regiment were undoubtedly the highest in status.

One was administration, the other was law enforcement.

The composition of the two organizations' members were also quite interesting. More than 80% of the Divine Kings on the Executive Hall were "Meng Fan's citizens". They came from Meng Fan's Source Universe and called Meng Fan the High Lord.

The word "master" already showed Meng Fan's place in their hearts.

The previous leaders of the Executive Hall were also Meng Fan's people. Every ten years, they would choose a chief. This chief was also like that.

City Guard Regiment was the exact opposite. More than ninety percent of the members came from different places and obtained the registration of being a local Divine King in the Weiyang Palace.

At this moment, the Celestial King of Seven Turbulences beside the commanding officer was the commander of City Guard Regiment.

They all called Meng Fan "Shangguan Family".

"In the area of Great Reef, there are many martial arts violators, bandits, and mountain kings." The captain of the City Guard Regiment said solemnly.

Compared to other people, the rest were just looking for a refuge. He had originally come here with his two sons, a daughter, and a Taoism Sail boat who had investigated him, and he was indeed a person who had committed a grave sin, escaping to the Great Reef. He had also been hiding in there for a long time, making difficult life and interacting with all kinds of people.

After arriving at the Wu Steel Palace, Zhao Wuye expressed his hope of settling down here. He first obtained the household register, then joined City Guard Regiment, and from being a leader, step by step, he became the commander of the troop.

Meng Fan said, "Woo Ye, you think this was an accident?"

However, Tian Zilou is not a small clan, and people of Great Reef are all aware of the relationship between Tian Zilou and our Weiyang Palace. Furthermore, every time the Weiyang Palace and our trade caravan were attacked, they would have a large number of guards, but this time, they were attacked, their entire army was annihilated, and all of their resources were taken away. Furthermore, the caravan had left our Weiyang Palace not long ago, and was only half a day away from the Weiyang Palace.

The official nodded his head, "High Lord, this lowly one also thinks the same."

"You guys go ahead." Meng Fan said. "Remember, not only should we make an example of them, we should also check if they have any background."

"Yes sir!"

Zhao Wuye cupped his hands as he retreated, then followed the order for the official to leave with his head lowered.

"Things are a bit complicated."

A voice sounded. Meng Fan didn't need to turn his head to know that it was a Taoism Sail boat.

The Taoism Sail boat existed in the form of an avatar in every corner of Weiyang Palace, managing many affairs.

Before long, the Taoism Sail boat appeared in the green curtain: "Old Meng, all these years our Weiyang Gong's rise has been so fast, I think it's caused some Great Reef experts to rise up, the Great Reef's market is just this big, our Weiyang Palace has eaten one piece, the others will have one less."

Meng Fan said, "I'm at a critical juncture right now, and I'm getting closer and closer to becoming an undying. I don't have the mind to care about other things, so I'll leave it to you."

The Taoism Sail boat nodded: "I know you are at a critical juncture."

With that, he disappeared.

When night fell, a scout group consisting of thirty Divine Kings of City Guard Regiment was dispatched, heading in the direction of the merchant group's looted and looted caravan.

At the same time, Executive Hall began to secretly gather intelligence, inquiring the customers that came and went, in order to find out the origins of those robbers.1

In the early morning of the second day, Taoism Sail boat and several managers of Tian Zilou were meeting to plan the encirclement and suppression of the robbers. The meaning of the Taoism Sail boat was very clear, and it was impossible for them to hold back. Once Tian Zilou was used, it was equivalent to touching Weiyang Palace, and the kings of Great Reef had to understand this point, and at the same time, there was still another month until Weiyang Palace's eightieth anniversary. At that time, Weiyang Palace would issue various invitations to all sorts of famous people within the borders of Great Reef to come and participate in the celebration.

At the end of their meeting, the Taoism Sail boat said one word.

"Domineering."

And show that this is Meng Fan's attitude.

Anyone who was unwilling to accept this would be treated as a tyrant, and Weiyang Gong had the strength to do so.

After talking with the Taoism Sail boat, the manager of Tian Zilou understood Weiyang Gong's attitude. He was quite pleased and had some confidence.

A few days later, two robbers were finally caught, both of them in Celestial King of the Six Tribulations.

After Weiyang Gong had conducted a rigorous interrogation on the two robbers, he vaguely found some clues.

These two robbers were mountain kings, and there were a lot of mountain kings in the Great Reef. Basically, they were all powerful figures, occupying the land and becoming kings, recruiting disciples, and establishing their own forces. However, these two mountain kings, who were only at the sixth level of tribulation, did not dare to make a move against Tian Zilou.

Haodang Mountain.

The Haodang Mountain was a huge sect, but also an empire. The leader was a powerful Celestial King of Ten Tribulations, like Meng Fan, he was an outsider, settled in the Great Reef, and set up a merchant house to conduct trade.

This powerful Celestial King of Ten Tribulations had already resided in the Universe of Eight Kings forty million years ago, and it seemed to have had a very deep relationship with the eight great empires.

This Celestial King of Ten Tribulations was first established by establishing a sect, teaching its disciples, building up its power, using this as a basis to expand the trade. Afterwards, it established a harem, gathering all sorts of men, with countless children.

In the entire Great Reef, the power of Haodang Mountain was number one.

Other than Haodang Mountain, after the Taoism Sail boat performed a long calculation, it discovered that there were other powers that seemed to be involved in this matter.

These powers were much smaller in comparison to the Haodang Mountain. In addition, their leaders were all local Divine Kings, whose roots were even longer than the Haodang Mountain s. In the past long years, they had always been in charge of the illegal business of Great Reef.
