Chapter 599: The Arrogant Fire Sect Hollowed Out the Foundation of Great Zhou! 1

Translator: 549690339

At the end of August, Year 7835 of the Great Zhou Royal Calendar.

The news of the appearance of heretics near Spring Water Lake was gathered from all sides and pa.s.sed to Fengnan County Governor Gan Tian.

After receiving the message, Prefectural Governor Gan Tian did not dare to be negligent. She immediately gathered all the leaders of the core departments in Fengnan County and discussed it overnight. In the end, it was decided that a Void Refinement Realm Qi Refiner would be the leader, and hundreds of internal guards in the Coagulate Spirit Realm would be the core combat force. In addition, there would be thousands of elite soldiers. Together, they would form an elite team and head to Spring Water Lake Town as soon as possible to investigate the situation.

Just as Fengnan County was preparing to send troops.

County Governor Gan Tian received the latest news from a local secret agent at

Spring Water Lake. The letter stated that the local county magistrate, Zeng Youwei, was accidentally killed when he led his troops to capture the so-called ‘immortal’ at Spring Water Lake.

Initially, when she heard that there was a so-called living immortal who was pretending to be mysterious, Gan Tian’s face did not show much emotion.

After all, wars had not stopped in recent years, and countless demons and monsters had become more and more active with the turmoil in various parts of the imperial court. It was not rare for some wild ambitions to appear.

Gan Tian had already come up with a complete plan to deal with this.

As long as they followed the procedure, there would not be too much trouble.

However, when she saw Magistrate Zeng Youwei die at Spring Water Lake, Gan Tian’s face turned pale.

It was because Zeng Youwei was the younger brother of Empress Zeng.

Although this fellow had caused some ridiculous things in Haojing, resulting in him being demoted to Chunshui Lake by the annoyed emperor and becoming a ninth-grade official.

However, anyone with discerning eyes knew that as long as Empress Zeng was still in the harem, Zeng Youwei, the emperor’s brother-in-law with a high status, could not be exiled in the wild forever.

One day, when the Emperor’s anger subsided, he might immediately be brought back to continue eating and drinking.

Therefore, when the Emperor transferred Zeng Youwei to be the county magistrate of Chunshui Lake, Gan Tian did not ask or partic.i.p.ate from the beginning to the end. All the procedures followed the normal rules.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, no one could criticize him in this regard. But now, Zeng Youwei had died in the Spring Water Lake, and it was very likely that he had died on the way to eradicate the evil cult…

To Gan Tian, this was no less than a thunderbolt in a clear sky.

After all, no matter what, even if Ceng Youwei was a pile of mud that could not be supported, he was still the Emperor’s brother-in-law and the Empress’s younger brother.

With his ident.i.ty and status, even if he accidentally died from a left foot accident, it would definitely implicate a large number of related personnel to take the blame.

It was just that some unimportant guards might be buried with them.

But now, Zeng Youwei had died in Fengnan County. Moreover, he had died on the most sensitive path of the imperial court, the path of eradicating cults.

As the county governor of Fengnan County, Gan Tian was undoubtedly the biggest scapegoat for this matter.

Could there be anything more unlucky than this in the world?

It was not easy for Gan Tian to come back to her senses from the message that was like a bolt from the blue. Her face gradually turned from white to purple. From afar, she looked like a piece of pig liver that lacked oxygen.

If this matter was not handled well.

If he were to poke his head in, his own life would be in danger.

Therefore, after reading the contents of the letter, Gan Tian immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

He immediately used his authority to mobilize even more people in Fengnan

County, and even brought out all the Guiyuan realm Qi Pract.i.tioners in his clan. It would be best if he could capture the cultist who killed Zeng Youwei before the higher-ups found out about his death.

At that time, even if the higher- ups blamed him, he could immediately hand over the real culprit to take the blame. In this way, whether he could keep his black gauze hat or not was not a problem, but at least he should be able to keep his own life.

Early September.

Fengnan County urgently mobilized a lot of provisions and soldiers. It took only ten days to form an extremely elite force. Under Gan Tian’s personal leadership, they went to the vicinity of Spring Water Lake to capture the heretics.

The soldiers moved extremely quickly. Although the chaos caused was barely controlled to a relatively acceptable level, it still attracted the attention of many surrounding areas.

After all, the central and southern regions were the core grain-producing areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It had been many years since such an urgent military operation had erupted.

Now, Fengnan County had caused such a huge commotion without a word. The governors and princesses of the nearby provinces had sent letters to inquire, but they did not receive a response from Gan Tian.

Naturally, he paid close attention to the related matters.

The high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Imperial Court who had heard the news were all guessing what had happened in Fengnan County that would warrant Gan Tian’s mysterious actions.

After thinking about it, everyone realized that only something related to the Fire Transmission Sect could cause such a huge commotion.

But the problem was, hadn’t the Fire Sect become more obedient during this period of time?

According to some clues that the internal guards had heard, the demoness from the Fire Sect who was good at bewitching people seemed to have left the

Southern Barbaric Land. Her whereabouts were unknown…

Could he have come to Fengnan County?

If that was really the case, the entire land of fish and rice in the central and southern regions of the Great Zhou would probably be in great trouble..
