"Since that's the case, I will spare this fellow today, but if there is similar conduct again, don't blame me for a massacre!" Wu Hen pointed at the Longevity Envoy Yan Yang as he spoke.
Longevity Envoy Yan Yang was so angry that his face contorted. He hadn't expected the other party to dare utter such words.
A bunch of Human Clan members who can't stand the sunlight, getting too big for their boots. Now everyone in Infinite Red Port knows that his subordinate was killed by the other party in broad daylight. Not only has he lost all face, but he also has to let the other party swagger off. What kind of reasoning is that??
"Handmaid Chu, are you really going to condone this fellow's insult to the Longevity Sect? What 'trial after the fact'? Didn't you see him kill Yue Yongqing right in front of me?" Yan Yang said angrily.
"Under my explicit order not to persist in this matter, Yue Yongqing still did as he pleased. If he wasn't acting under your instruction, would he dare defy my orders?" Chu Zhi said.
Yan Yang fell silent all at once, just staring at Wu Hen with a venomous gaze.
Wu Hen was silenced himself.
How come someone is defending me?
I did kill your people, and did it on the street.
And I did want to provoke your entire Longevity Sect, trampling on the dignity of the Longevity Sect...
Do you really not plan to deal with me?
But I haven't finished my fish yet, and I was just about to enjoy some wine and meat!
"Discipline your subordinates well. Next time, it won't just be executing a Yue Yongqing." Wu Hen also left behind a harsh sentence and swaggered off.
Wu Hen thought he would be stopped.
But the only one who really tried to stop him was Yan Yang with his resentful gaze.
There were very few in the short-coat guards who truly dared to step up.
Yan Yang himself didn't want to expose his strength so soon.
Longevity Handmaid Chu Zhi was typically one to seek peace and avoid trouble. Regarding Yue Yongqing's death, she wasn't entirely indifferent, and even felt a shame as if a vicious dog of her own house had gone out to bite people but ended up being bitten to death by others.
As for True Martial Liangshou, he was not a member of the Longevity Sect at all. He was originally discussing some matters with the Longevity Handmaid when he heard the commotion here and came over to see what was happening.
"By the way, isn't your Longevity Sect ferrying over some citizens of the Nuwa God End?" Liangshou asked.
"Yes, that's why the Taoist Lord also doesn't want any added complications during this period," the Longevity Handmaid Chu Zhi said.
"The Red Tide is approaching quickly; indeed, this matter is urgent. A mere Dao Master defying your wishes is a small matter; his death is his own fault. But that individual from the Lower Seed Clan of Nuwa God End seems to have encountered a great opportunity and boasts some strength; it's just that his temper is too vicious, and he'll inevitably suffer in Red Port sooner or later." Liangshou said, looking at Wu Hen's departing figure.
Longevity Handmaid Chu Zhi said no more, finding it pointless to quibble with a barbarian.
Wu Hen returned to the post station.
He saw Wang Rui lifting a jar of fine wine, looking lively, as if he hadn't suffered any torment at all.
"A Longevity Taoist is certainly a big catch for the Longevity Sect. We've indeed had a rich haul today!" Wang Rui said, smiling.
"Speaking of which, isn't that Longevity Sect woman named Chu Zhi actually on our side?" Wu Hen asked.
Chief Li was still examining some strange rocks when he looked up at Wu Hen, his face showing a hint of confusion as he said, "Why do you ask?"
"Haha, no reason, just thought she was quite cute on the other side," Wu Hen said.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Yan Yang will next use some of the mixed forces within Infinite Red Port to deal with you; they are also an obstacle in our future annexation plans," Chief Li said to Wu Hen.
"Understood, I'll just continue with my law enforcement through fishing," Wu Hen said.
"The same tactics can't be too obvious, and with some of the complex forces within Infinite Red Port, you'll need to judiciously discern..." Chief Li said.
Before Chief Li could finish, noisy voices came from outside the post station.
A few people looked towards the entrance of the post station and saw a human elite team returning with injuries all over. Some were being carried by their teammates, having lost too much blood and fallen unconscious.
Humans were also entering a phase of adaptation and exploration; those with Desert Dust Life would search for scattered Yuan You in the otherworldly realms where the Nuwa God End had stopped.
Yuan You is usually accompanied by Predators, or acts like bait for some powerful creature. Although the death rate had dropped significantly over the past five years, it didn't mean these teams could be unharmed; missing limbs and broken bones were common occurrences.
"Chief, we encountered Poison Sub-humans..." the elite captain, a middle-aged man fully armed with new energy firearms, said.
"Them again?" Chief Li frowned and instructed his aides to bring some Healing Liquid, administering a shot to each of the wounded men.
Wang Rui quietly informed Wu Hen, "Poison Sub-humans, that's what we call those Sub-humans that came looking for trouble while we were fishing. The distinct feature of their race is their skin. Like poison, the brighter and more variegated it is, the more potent the poison and the more terrifying their strength"
"The four we encountered, they were all monochrome?" Wu Hen asked.
"Yes. The Poison Sub-humans are similar to us, being called low-class people by the outside world and living as a marginalized group in Red Port. They have always been jealous of us for having a post station as a foothold for our people while they can only dwell in the dark, mixed areas of Red Port. So they target us at every turn, secretly capturing and tormenting our people," Wang Rui explained.
