Chapter 1196: Don’t Let This Happen Again
The high-level members of the Divine Thunder Bureau soon arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng, the person involved, was still happily performing his righteous act.
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable almost burst a blood vessel in anger watching him.
"You damned murderer, how dare you still stay here?"
Can’t you at least make an attempt to escape?
Doing so would at least show a tiny bit of guilt, acknowledging the wrong you’ve done.
Boldly standing here boasting and chatting, you truly have no regard for our Divine Thunder Bureau!
"This is outrageous!"
"Simply blatant!"
A group of Supremes from the Divine Thunder Bureau charged onto the scene.
Before the Pill Masters could speak, they surrounded Jiang Cheng.
"Seize him!"
Yet Brother Cheng, who was surrounded, showed no trace of worry or anxiety on his face.
He casually conjured another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Only then did he leisurely say, "You guys sure love to joke. As the Chief of the Celestial Pill Department, why wouldn’t I dare to stay here?"
He also knew that this bunch from the Divine Thunder Bureau would probably spout a lot of condemning nonsense.
Maybe even attack on the spot.
Just waiting for it, unexpectedly, the aggressive side suddenly became silent.
From Fan Lei Daoist Venerable downwards, all the high-level members of the Divine Thunder Bureau who came were startled, their eyes fixed fiercely on Sect Leader Jiang’s left hand... the cigarette pinched between his fingers.
Another one?
Wasn’t it said that the last Thunder Tribulation depleted the previous one?
Turns out there’s more than one Secret Treasure like that Trust Incense?
This immediately made them stop in their tracks and become cautious.
That previous Secret Treasure ’protected’ Jiang Cheng from a single bit of Thunder Tribulation damage!
Know this, the latter was an Ultimate Level Thunder Tribulation, a strike that countless immortals feared.
To achieve such a level of defense, one can imagine how powerful that ’Trust Incense’ Secret Treasure is.
Now Jiang Cheng lit another one...
What does he intend to do?
Could it be that this Secret Treasure has not only defensive but also offensive capabilities?
Is he ready to use that Secret Treasure to blast us at any time?
For a moment, the high-level members of the Divine Thunder Bureau were suspicious and on guard privately.
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable even covertly extended his Divine Thought, thoroughly examining that cigarette inside and out.
This close inspection left him astonished.
That ’Secret Treasure’ was just a regular mortal object construction, with no part worth mentioning, the smoke it emitted was even inferior muddy Qi.
How could this be?
Such an inferior mortal object could withstand the Thunder Tribulation?
No, no way!
He shook his head firmly.
Some things may appear ordinary on the surface, but internally they harbor unimaginable power!
If it were truly a mere mortal object, with Jiang Cheng’s power and status, how could he value it and hold it in his hand?
So, he actually only saw through the surface of that ’Trust Incense’ and did not see through its deeper terrifying aspects.
Fortunately, fortunately, he wasn’t deceived!
While he was conducting a mental deduction, the people from the Law Enforcement Department also moved when they heard, swiftly approaching the scene.
Leading the team was none other than King Lv himself!
The death of a Seventh-grade Immortal Official originally wouldn’t alarm someone of his level.
But upon seeing the incident location was at the Celestial Pill Department, King Lv’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that troublemaker again?
How long has it been?
And when he personally arrived, indeed seeing Jiang Cheng being surrounded again, the anger in his heart was almost as intense as Fan Lei Daoist Venerable’s.
"Damned, it really is you again!"
"Can’t you stay out of trouble without causing chaos every day?"
"You actually killed three more Immortal Officials, you’re simply heinous beyond redemption!"
Hearing his fierce roar, Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was overjoyed.
He hurriedly approached, howling.
"King Lv, you must stand up for us!"
"Venerable Mo Rong was killed by him, the evidence is conclusive, it’s simply outrageous!"
"I implore you, King Lv, to act personally, to eliminate this fiend!"
He was somewhat apprehensive of the cigarette in Jiang Cheng’s hand, so he wanted to coax King Lv into taking action himself, while he watched the show from the sidelines.
"Yes, King Lv, this brat is too much!"
The other Immortal Officials from the Divine Thunder Bureau also squeezed out to complain, putting pressure on the Law Enforcement Department.
Hoping the Law Enforcement Department would promptly eliminate this bizarre oddity.
"Killed Venerable Shang Lian last time, and now Venerable Mo Rong, after giving us a slap, gives another slap to our Divine Thunder Bureau!"
"If there’s no explanation for this, our Divine Thunder Bureau will become a laughingstock, how can we stand firm in the Celestial Palace?"
King Lv’s expression immediately turned constipated.
He didn’t know what a ’Trust Incense’ was, but he couldn’t take action against Jiang Cheng either.
After all, this kid’s identity was too special.
Kill him, and we’d directly lose the bet with the Evil Immortal Realm.
"Ahem, make sure you never repeat this mistake again, understand?"
He intentionally wore a stern face, pointing at Sect Leader Jiang, loudly warning.
"Otherwise, I will certainly not spare you!"
"You better behave yourself, don’t think no one can deal with you!"
After the warning, he just waved his hand and directly headed back.
"Let’s go!"
Not just the Divine Thunder Bureau, even the Pill Masters of the Celestial Pill Department were dumbfounded.
What’s this?
Came over, said a few words, and that’s it?
All talk and no action?
Not to mention executing on the spot, at least seal his Immortal Power and escort him back to the Law Enforcement Department’s jail, right?
Having killed so many Immortal Officials, and still a future? This isn’t even equivalent to drinking three toasts as punishment.
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable couldn’t take it.
"King Lv, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean?"
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable was about to burst with urgency.
"Just let him go like that?"
"What else do you want?"
King Lv turned back with impatience, looking a bit unhappy at the Divine Thunder Bureau.
If it were possible to kill this kid, would I need your urging?
The moment he ascended to the heavens, I would have dealt with him, okay?
"I’m quite aware of your Divine Thunder Bureau’s style."
He glanced at the high-level members of the Divine Thunder Bureau, coldly snorted.
"Don’t always think that by controlling the Thunder Tribulation, you can manage this and that. Your power is granted from above, a reminder not to forget!"
"You better restrain yourselves in the future!"
Fan Lei Daoist Venerable almost collapsed.
What does this mean, after our two Supremes and four Immortal Officials were consecutively killed, not only was the ’perpetrator’ not punished, but we ourselves got a warning scolding?
Watching the rapid departure of King Lv’s group, everyone at the Celestial Pill Department was almost petrified.
Did it end just like this?
Killed three Immortal Officials on the spot, with evidence clear, and nothing happened?
This is too too too absurd, isn’t it?
Truth be told, if they weren’t on Elder Jiang’s side, they would surely be shouting about cover ups and excessiveness!
And now, they could only cast a respectful gaze at Brother Cheng.
Boss, what’s your background really?
Even the Law Enforcement Department doesn’t dare touch you, what have you done?
Not even the Celestial Emperor’s illegitimate child would have such privileges, right?
The entire Divine Thunder Bureau was in disarray.
They felt stifled inside, almost wanting to vomit blood.
This anger couldn’t be vented, it was suffocating!
Yet Brother Cheng sympathetically patted Fan Lei Daoist Venerable’s shoulder, handing him a cigarette.
"Bro, since the arm can’t twist the thigh, just enjoy it."
