Chapter 756: Disturbance (IV)

The news fully spread on this day.

Silver Moon, White Moon City.

Director General Zhao had been aware of Li Hao’s plans, but he was still surprised in this moment. This fast? He... knew Yao Si... That the old man had so quickly decided to join was so unexpected!

Was this to Ole Zhou’s credit?

But... Ole Zhou hadn’t said anything or sent anything back. It shouldn’t be.

Red Moon headquarters.

Ying Hongyue furrowed his brows and muttered after a long moment, “How is this possible??”

Yao Si wasn’t the type to easily give up power, how had this occurred?!

Ying Hongyue knew what kind of person Li Hao was. The young man wasn’t doing this on a lark or just mouthing some slogans. He might really cleanse the land of supernatural unrest in the days to come and whip the central region superhumans into shape!

Did Li Hao not know of the difficulties within? Or the dangers?

He did! And yet he insisted on this course of action!

Ying Hongyue frowned ferociously, truly unable to understand the development. Was Li Hao letting everything go to his head, or was he actually confident in himself? Where did that confidence come from?

“Withdraw all of our superhuman strength and adopt a defensive position for now. Don’t take any brash action!” Ying Hongyue commanded with some confusion and solemnity. Everything had gone completely out of control ever since Li Hao left Silver Moon. The changes were happening too quickly.

The four corners of the land shook with the news. Some regarded it contemptuously, finding Li Hao to just be a daydreamer. He wanted to put the superhuman house in order? What a joke! He wanted to clean house? Did he have the strength to? Which of the three great organizations, seven divine mountains, City of Supernaturals, and nine ministries was an easy target?

Maybe he thought himself invincible after killing some Arcanus last time. Maybe he really wasn’t afraid of death.

Can you actually successfully establish your office in ten days?

Meanwhile, the wandering Silver Moon martial masters were also troubled by the news. Did... they go to Skystar City again? It felt like another battle brewed on the horizon!

Near River.

Deficient Leg nearly choked on his own spit as he played with one of his children.

“The hell... Is this how arrogant this generation’s martial world leader is? He’s crazy!”

The last time Deficient Leg joined a fight, he’d gone to be a punching bag. Here another one came a few days later? I can’t do it, not this time!

Yuan Shuo was practically a benevolent old man compared to the kid! The most he’d done was spar with martial masters. He wasn’t like Li Hao, wanting to wage all-out war at the drop of a hat!

“Daddy... are you going to fight again?” an adorable little girl asked curiously.

Deficient Leg was caught in an awkward situation. Fight my ass! Your daddy’s not going this time. If I go, you might turn into an orphan that no one wants. It’s too dangerous! Are we supposed to lose our minds along with Li Hao now that he’s gone completely crazy?

They’d all seen the disparity in strength in the last battle. Silver Moon martial masters might be strong and could stand against metamorphosis, but they could not against Arcanus!

Deficient Leg hesitated; he didn’t respond.

He wasn’t the only one. Whether it was Tyrant Blade, Northern Fist, or even Sky Sword... all of them hesitated. What are you trying to do, Li Hao? You’ll be the death of us all if this continues!

The Sky Sword Mountain Manor.

A dozen martial masters were gathered together and someone protested loudly, “Mountain lord, you really can’t go to Skystar City again. The various factions will certainly be ready to take down Demon Sword. You might not return if you go this time!”

“Demon Sword is crazy! He always thinks too much of himself!”

“......” The crowd grumbled angrily. This was making Silver Moon martial masters court death!

One after another, battle to battle, from the east to the central region. Sky Sword had gone to Li Hao’s aid multiple times and had felt his ability falling short of his wishes on the last occasion. Was he to continue to foot the bill for Li Hao’s insanity?

Sky Sword remained quiet. No one knew what he was thinking, only that Sky Sword seemed to be hesitating on this day as well.

In the palace.

He Yong shuddered with goosebumps as he sat in a daze. Li Hao... you’re nuts! Can’t you give us some time to rest? Can we swap places for a bit?

He could sense killing intent all throughout Skystar City. Li Hao had gone utterly insane. Hong Yitang, can’t you guys keep him in check?

“How interesting!” Hong Yitang laughed and looked at Deputy Zhou not too far away. “Isn’t this exciting?”

“......” The deputy didn’t say a word. It was a good development, he just hadn’t thought that it would come so quickly. What’d happened to Li Hao yesterday? Yao Si shouldn’t have been recruited so easily, not unless some incredible changes had occurred in Li Hao.

It was indeed exciting, but ten days was a very long time. Wasn’t the lad concerned about too many dreams occurring in a long night?

Or had he done this on purpose?

Many thoughts flooded Deputy Zhou’s mind as he breathed out. Perhaps... this was why he’d left Silver Moon.

If the heavens are to end someone, that person will grow too big for their boots first!

Perhaps this saying was perfectly applicable to Li Hao at the moment. With Yao Si adding fuel to the flames and leading the Night Watchers to join him, everyone knew that the young man had completely lost his mind. This wasn’t appropriate even if he was an Arcanus of three or four elements!

This would cause the Inspectorate to turn on him. The best case scenario for this fairweather ally was neutrality, the worst case would be the Inspectorate’s first instance of outright hostility.

The Silver Moon Guards took action on this day, commencing a series of searches and arrests throughout Skystar City.

The front doors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Liu Long led the team and announced, “The Skystar Commander Office is about to be formally established! On orders of the commander, we are here to arrest the fugitive Mu Xiaorong! Her crimes are not severe, but she fled from custody. If you hand over Mu Xiaorong today, we will take circumstances into consideration when passing judgment. After the Skystar Commander Office formally opens, all fugitives will be treated as traitorous supernaturals and shown no quarter!”

A group of Internal Affairs powerhouses walked out, some with aloof looks on their faces, others with livid expressions. “Do you have a death wish?!”

“You are the ones who court death!” Liu Long was completely unperturbed. “How dare the Ministry of Internal Affairs obstruct the investigation of a case! We will sentence you according to the crime of sheltering criminals! The commander has given orders that if we cannot arrest Mu Xiaorong today, we will trample your ministry to the ground!”

“You bastard!” someone raged. They were crazy, weren’t they?! The nine ministries were yet to go for Li Hao’s head, but his people came knocking on their door first instead!

Hundreds of Silver Moon Guards stood outside the door, erupting with blood qi and blazing with killing intent in their black armor.

“Can you represent the minister?” Liu Long looked calmly at the speaker. “Or the royal family? Mu Xiaorong’s crimes do not deserve death. She stands a chance of getting off easy if you have her turn herself in. The headmaster of the Skystar Martial Academy is here. Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs think that the Skystar Commander Office is unable to take you on?”

Someone walked out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the two sides faced each other in a stand-off. It was Mu Xiaorong. She appeared slightly run-down and sighed. “I’ll go with you. It’s just... Commander Li’s actions...”

Ai!

She sighed. He’d gone completely crazy. If she didn’t leave today, the ministry might immediately clash with Li Hao for her sake. Yao Si, Li Hao, Hong Yitang, Hou Xiaochen, and Light Sword were certainly nearby. Countless people were observing from the shadows.

The Skystar Commander Office was yet to fully open for business, taking her in was plainly in preparation for the opening ceremony.

The nine ministries also hadn’t fully decided on their course of action. The Ministry of Internal Affairs actually represented the royal family, but also possessed their independence. That the royal family didn’t send word might be because they wanted to use the Internal Affairs’s hand to incite the war between Li Hao and the nine ministries.

However, Mu Xiaorong knew that Internal Affairs might not be able to withstand the Skystar Commander Office. Therefore, she stepped forward.

A fatty stood behind her, silent without a word. He didn’t step up and simply watched from afar. His daughter was being arrested again. Li Hao was going to make an example out of her!

The royal family was not stepping forward and neither were the nine ministries because the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the royal representative among them. And yet, Internal Affairs also was part of the nine ministries. It was a complicated web of relationships.

“Take her!” Liu Long barked. Silver Moon Guards darted out to clap Mu Xiaorong in chains. The action elicited a shuffle in presences among the crowd. The fat minister clenched his fist without a word!

His daughter was being arrested right in front of him and clapped in chains. Her departure during the ruckus last time had also been an Internal Affair decision. There was open hostility between the two sides, after all, but who would’ve thought that Li Hao would be permitted to find his footing in Skystar City in the end?

Those who hadn’t run off were fine, but those who did were prosecuted. He’d thought that the matter had been swept under the rug and Li Hao would no longer pursue it, that the young man wouldn’t possibly raise a fuss over it. Reality proved him wrong!
