Monarch Night

And it was becoming more and more intense.

The smell of blood was also getting stronger.

Countless people hadn’t even arrived in front of the hall, and they already felt weak all over.

Several old employees started to complain inwardly.

Why is the Chief so full of Killing Aura today? It seems that after not seeing him for so long, he’s going to show his authority again?

All of a sudden, they started to introspect: Have I been performing well recently? Have I memorized the Law Codes properly? Where did I go wrong? How well do I understand the Escort Agency rules?

The newcomers were nervous and uneasy.

Yet, there was still a bit of anticipation in their hearts.

After all, it’s a time when manpower is needed, everything needs to be revived. The Chief probably... probably won’t be too... strict, right?

Instantly.

Six hundred people gathered in the hall.

Standing neatly.

The hall was arranged exactly like the White Cloud Continent World Escort Agency, even the Chief’s throne seemed to have been moved from Baiyun State, Zhao Wushang tried his best to achieve restoration.

The Starlight Master stood with his hands behind his back in front of the throne on the platform.

A Nine-Ring Saber flashed with a ghostly cold light, carrying an inexplicable Evil Qi, standing beside him.

The Starlight Master had a sullen face, his eyes radiating a hungry wolf-like light, Killing Aura continuously surging forth.

He remained silent for a long time.

But the Killing Aura was washing back and forth, it was very obvious the Starlight Master wanted to find someone to kill!

His eyes scanned back and forth across everyone’s faces, like a beast looking for someone to devour.

The six hundred people from initial nervousness, to now panic and horror.

Everyone felt as if they were standing stark naked on the snow-capped peak of the Ice Field in the extreme north.

The whole body was cold, even the heart stopped beating, the thoughts seemed frozen.

The Starlight Master finally spoke, his voice like the whispers of a starving ghost, the bloodthirsty roar of a demon: "In my absence, it’s said many have been quite unruly. Some say I died outside, some say... I was killed by Lord Night Demon... Some even say I was cooked and eaten..."

"Saying I was evil to the core, deserved to die... heh heh..."

The Starlight Master’s laughter was like the cold wind of mid-winter.

No one dared to breathe deeply. Their minds were only puzzled...

Which grand person said such things?

"It’s said recently the Escort Agency’s discipline is slack, everyone seems lifeless, even the rules are forgotten..."

The Starlight Master said a bunch.

Then immediately commanded: "Now, start the exams immediately. I will personally invigilate!"

"Those who fail, kill! Those who aren’t excellent, subject them to the Five Punishments! Anyone less than full marks... one hundred lashes!"

Instantly, there was wailing.

Squad Leader, you clearly intend to kill someone!

Yet, resistance was useless.

Exam began immediately.

The Starlight Master patrolled back and forth across the whole venue with the Nine-Ring Saber, occasionally picking someone up: "Why the hell didn’t you shave today!? What’s your motive? Trying to expose something?!"

"Does anyone say your face looks like a bear? Do you feel it damages our Escort Agency’s image?"

"What did you move your butt just now for? Do you have a sore there?!"

"What’s your identity? Recite it for me! The virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, how much do you understand? How do you comprehend them? Is this what a gentleman looks like?"

"Look at that tuft of hair on your face!"

"Check yourself out! Still head of the escort, you might as well become a robber!"

"Why stop? Can’t do it? Did you grow up eating excrement?"

"..."

After midnight.

The assessment ended.

Only one failed, and the Starlight Master ordered him killed without mercy!

"To fail shows how inattentive you are!"

"What use is keeping you!"

At the command, heads rolled!

Everyone was silent as a cicada in winter.

All twenty people harassed by the Starlight Master during the exams remarkably hadn’t reached excellence.

At a command, various punishments invented by Baiyi Jade Flute Tian Wanqing were applied one after another!

Everyone was shocked to find.

These twenty were the ones who recently said strange things privately.

Not a single one was missed, all were pinpointed! Everyone broke into a cold sweat.

How did the Squad Leader know?

How could he so precisely pick them out?

Even Zhao Wushang was amazed, totally unable to understand how the Squad Leader executed this god-like action.

Everyone’s gaze toward the Squad Leader suddenly filled with respect and fear.

The Starlight Master smirked coldly in his heart.

There is something in this world called spiritual sense.

Not to mention he was already Monarch Level, his actual combat power already Super Venerable Level; while these people only King level, and even Marshal Level, how could they hide anything in front of him?

Especially after practicing Nightmare Divine Technique and Night Demon Divine Technique, combined with the Infinite Scripture’s outstanding spiritual sense, it was already possible to see through completely.

Though he might not know specifically what they thought, slight emotional fluctuations were crystal clear.

Who truly revered him from the heart, who did not.

That made it even easier to distinguish.

In this situation, finding the unstable elements within the Escort Agency was as easy as reaching into a bag.

A session of severe punishment, along with hundreds of people uniformly suffering through the painful lashes.

Made the entire Escort Agency tremble with fear.

And once more let people witness the authority of the Starlight Master.

"Opening the day after tomorrow!"

The Starlight Master left one sentence and walked away.

"If anyone performs poorly, you guys are just gonna have to wait and see!"

"Spare none of you!"

...

The Worldwide Escort Agency is finally about to open.

And the opening is very urgent.

At the crack of dawn, people from the Worldwide Escort Agency dashed around the city like their lives depended on it, delivering invitations.

Each one ran like the wind, drenched in sweat.

Even the Guardian Hall, Guardian Southeast Headquarters, received the invitations.
