Starting With 100 Million Lives

Upon hearing her words, both Hei Ting Daoist Venerable and Daoist Venerable Feng Lin turned their gaze over.

"Who are you?" Daoist Venerable Feng Lin asked plainly.

Nan Zhuo quickly bowed in salute.

"I am Captain Nan Zhuo of the Celestial Micro Army’s Third Division, Fifteenth Squad!"

When hearing she was from the Celestial Micro Army, Hei Ting Daoist Venerable’s originally disdainful look softened slightly.

The most powerful combat forces of the Celestial Palace are its various Celestial Armies.

The Celestial Peak Army that once battled the Evil Immortals on the front lines is one such force.

And the Celestial Micro Army is similar.

Immortal Officials from such strong departments are worth paying a little more respect to.

"Was it you who notified Venerable Shang Lian?" he asked slowly.

"Yes!"

"Why did you do that?"

Nan Zhuo straightened her expression and replied solemnly, "For justice and fairness!"

Everyone knew it was nonsense, but Hei Ting Daoist Venerable nodded with satisfaction.

"You’re quite good."

He nodded at Nan Zhuo, "I’ll remember you."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhuo couldn’t contain her joyous expression, while many of the surrounding Immortal Officials were both envious and regretful.

In the future, when Nan Zhuo breaks through while crossing the tribulation, she will surely receive lenient treatment from the Divine Thunder Bureau and pass easily.

She might even receive support from the Divine Thunder Bureau in the future.

What a gain that is!

Opportunities to gain favor with the Divine Thunder Bureau are rare.

Unfortunately, they missed this chance, while Nan Zhuo seized it.

Many Immortal Officials couldn’t help but marvel—this woman really knows how to maneuver.

She managed to turn something that could have implicated her into a good thing for herself.

"Bai Yan, Yue Zhi, it seems our years of sisterhood have come to an end."

She looked somewhat melancholically at the female officials from the Dance Consort Department and the Music Department.

"Don’t blame me for not taking you along."

"It’s your own lack of savvy, not my fault..."

Her words were interrupted by a sudden exclamation from the side.

"Oh, you old chap are actually with the Law Enforcement Department?"

"Looks like we can also pull some strings!"

It was the Three-Eyed Tiger speaking.

He had been blowing smoke rings, not even glancing at the opposite side.

It was only when trying to get close to the Divine Thunder Bureau and Law Enforcement Department that he finally opened his eyes to take a look.

And what he saw was a familiar face—Venerable Cang Luo.

In fact, he was also Brother Cheng’s old acquaintance.

Last time at King Jia’s Dojo, it was him who secretly helped Jiang Cheng.

The Three-Eyed Tiger, being part of the Ancient Immortal Realm, had participated in numerous battles, and he was quite familiar with this former ’Returning Immortal’.

Seeing him, he was delighted.

"Quick, declare us innocent."

Venerable Cang Luo’s face turned pale upon seeing Jiang Cheng.

"Why is it you again?"

"Why is it still you?"

"How did you ascend to the heavens?"

"Could it be you really managed to pull strings and become an Immortal Official?"

"It doesn’t make sense that you’ve inexplicably become an Immortal Official, but why make trouble again?"

"And this time you’ve stirred up trouble with the Fifth-Grade Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau!"

"It could be life-threatening!"

Upon hearing the Three-Eyed Tiger’s ludicrous self-revelation, he almost wanted to explode on the spot.

"How absurd can you be?"

"There are Third-Grade Daoist Venerables here, where’s my place to make decisions?"

"At most, after you’re caught, I can secretly care for you."

"But this fool publically declared their connection with me right in front of so many from the Law Enforcement Department and Divine Thunder Bureau."

"And even asked me to publically declare they were innocent... See those subtle expressions of the other Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau and Law Enforcement Department. If I agreed, I’d be taken for interrogation the next moment."

This chap was already cursing inwardly.

"Damn it, if I knew, I wouldn’t have joined the Law Enforcement Department back then."

"Then heaven wouldn’t send these two to play with me."

"But thinking about it, Jiang Cheng is still much better than the Three-Eyed Tiger."

"At least this guy knew to communicate discreetly at King Jia’s Dojo."

Venerable Cang Luo deliberately kept a cold face and pretended not to hear or see anything.

Seeing him ignore his plea, the Three-Eyed Tiger was discontent.

"What’s the matter, Cang Luo? I’m calling you, don’t pretend to be deaf!"

"Handling this little matter, why is it taking so long?"

At this point, all eyes focused on Venerable Cang Luo.

Including the two big shots, Hei Ting Daoist Venerable and Daoist Venerable Feng Lin.

"Cang Luo, what’s going on?"

"You really have a connection with this Tiger Demon?"

"He even asked you to favor him."

Hearing the inquiry from his superior, Daoist Venerable Feng Lin, Venerable Cang Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No connection, just met him back in the Ancient Immortal Realm."

"Oh?"

Daoist Venerable Feng Lin showed a bit of interest.

"This Tiger Demon was also from the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

"Indeed, but we weren’t familiar back then..."

His words were cut off by the Three-Eyed Tiger’s barrage.

"Damn, Cang Luo, are you heartless? If it weren’t for my Brother Cheng sparing you back then, would you have survived to today?"

"If Brother Cheng hadn’t stood up later, all of you would have been wiped out by Jiu Jue Dark Phecda, you ungrateful thing..."

"Alright, alright, you pig teammate."

Brother Cheng couldn’t watch anymore.

This Three-Eyed Tiger was too engrossed in posing, heedless of time and place.

Even if Cang Luo wanted to help, it was thoroughly ruined by his interference.

However, it seemed he didn’t actually need the help.

After all... he knew Daoist Venerable Feng Lin!

This guy was a member of the Ice Realm back then.

There were several Venerables under the Ice Extreme Saint Venerable back then, and he was among them.

Compared to Ji Cang, those from Ice Origin Valley were Brother Cheng’s actual ’true allies’, genuinely supporting him as the Lord of the Ice Realm.

"Ahem, Lady Jiang Bing, this matter indeed can’t be smoothed over easily."

No one knew this Third Grade Immortal Official from the Law Enforcement Department was busy trying to get close to Sect Leader Jiang.

"The death of a Fifth-Grade Immortal Official will draw significant attention from the higher-ups, it’s absolutely impossible to cover up."

"Especially when it’s someone from the Divine Thunder Bureau..."

Brother Cheng was uninterested in his complaints.

He waved his hand directly.

"If you can’t resolve it, then don’t, it’s just a minor issue."

"If you hadn’t come, I would have dealt with them all."

He was telling the truth.

Jiang Cheng never expected anyone to rescue him.

This guy had never feared troubles since his debut.

Killing a Fifth-Grade Immortal Official might be a big deal to others, but to him, it was just a minor scuffle.

If necessary, he would eliminate several Third and Fourth-Grade Immortal Officials.

As for what happens afterward, with the system by his side, there’s nothing to worry about.

However, hearing the truth from him, Daoist Venerable Feng Lin felt panic!

He almost jumped up.

"No, no, no, don’t do that!"

He knew that Jiang Cheng always followed through once he said something, regardless of how his surface realm might appear.

Back then, when he slew the Celestial Venerable Ming Jue, his realm wasn’t even higher than Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.

"If you kill them, the entire Celestial Palace would be outraged. By then, not even the Divine Monarch could protect you..."
