92 The Great Xia’s Imperial Heavenly Bureau

The palm strike pierced through the void. The terrifying aura and power that it emitted seemed to shake the world.

“A Myth-realm powerhouse!”

The surrounding spectators paled in shock. At this moment, they felt endless panic and fear.

Even the Myth-realm powerhouses of the Dari Demonic Sect, Xuantian sect, and Tianxin Sword Sect frowned. They raised their eyes and looked over.

Boom!

The palm dashed through the void and hit Nan Batian before he could even react.

“Ah!”

A shrill scream rang out as his entire body exploded from the palm. His body turned into a fine powder that filled the sky.

“Who dares to kill someone from the Dari Demonic Sect?”

Thump!

A deafening roar resounded. Just as Nan Batian’s body exploded, a red-robed old man with a sharp aura walked out from the Dari Demonic Sect’s camp.

His eyes were furious and his face was ferocious.

The powerful aura that he exuded had reached the peak of the Myth realm. He was a powerful existence at the level of a patriarch.

Whoosh!

After he arrived in the void, his cold eyes immediately swept across the surroundings, wanting to find the culprit who blew up Nan Batian and kill him.

However, just as he was about to blow up in anger, a series of earth-shaking roars came from the sky in the distance, accompanied by a terrifying energy fluctuation.

Whoosh!

A few moments later, under the shocked gazes of countless people, a shabbily-dressed Daoist rushed towards Sunset Battlefield in a frenzy.

At this moment, he looked extremely miserable. His entire body was covered with hideous scars, and blood was dripping down.

At the same time, behind the shabby Daoist was a group of people frantically chasing after him.

There were about nine of them. All of them were powerhouses in the Myth realm.

The Mad Daoist?

Lin Wudao could not help but look surprised when he saw the Mad Daoist. He did not expect to see the other party here again after they parted ways at the Dayan ancestral land.

And now, someone was after the other party.

“This guy must have dug up someone’s ancestral grave. However, it seems like he has provoked someone he can’t this time.”

Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a smile.

He didn’t even need to think to know what had happened.

After all, the Mad Daoist had a special hobby, which was digging up graves. It was also the other party’s way of improving his cultivation and strength.

Still, Lin Wudao was very curious as to who he had provoked this time for the other party to have mobilized so many Myth-realm powerhouses.

Furthermore, why did the Mad Daoist’s invisibility spell not work?

Out of curiosity, Lin Wudao did not make a move. Instead, he quietly observed.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

At this moment, the Mad Daoist was being chased and had to dodge frantically.

His speed was frighteningly fast, and every time he was about to fall into the hands of those people, he would always escape by a hair’s breadth. After that, he would cast another invisibility spell to hide his figure in the void.

However, the methods of those people who were chasing him could not be underestimated.

Buzz!

One of them, a beautiful woman in purple with a cold temperament, conjured a secret technique in her hand and the illusory image of an ancient bronze mirror appeared in her hand. A wave of spiritual energy hit the air.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a burst of bright divine light bloomed and illuminated the void in all directions.

Under the reflection of the ancient bronze mirror, the Mad Daoist had nowhere to hide. His originally hidden body was instantly exposed.

“Shangqing Heaven-observing Mirror?”

Lin Wudao was a little surprised when his God’s Spiritual Eye gave him the information.

The real name of the bronze mirror condensed by the purple-robed woman was the Shangqing Heaven-observing Mirror. It seemed to be an extremely powerful treasure. It had the magical ability to reflect all things in the world.

Under its power, even the Mad Daoist’s invisibility spell lost its effect.

“It’s a good treasure. Unfortunately, this isn’t the real thing.”

Lin Wudao was a little regretful.

If possible, he wanted to see the mirror’s effects for himself, but unfortunately, it was only an image now. It seemed that he didn’t have a chance.

Whoosh!

Just as Lin Wudao was sighing with emotion, the Mad Daoist and his pursuers had arrived at the entrance of Sunset Battlefield.

“Mad Daoist, I advise you to surrender now, and maybe you can keep your corpse intact. Otherwise, I’ll burn your bones and scatter your ashes,” A cold and emotionless voice reverberated through the air.

Upon hearing this, the Mad Daoist immediately snorted.

“Tsk, f*cking Imperial Heaven Bureau, do you think you bastards of the Xia Dynasty are worthy of making me surrender? Even if your Great Captain were here, I wouldn’t be afraid. You want to capture me? If you have the ability, then come, haha!”

Whoosh!

As soon as he said this, the Mad Daoist immediately turned into a barely noticeable shadow and rushed into Sunset Battlefield.

Even the Myth-realm red-robed old man from the Dari Demonic Sect couldn’t react in time. When he came back to his senses, those pursuers were already riding rainbows and approaching aggressively.

“Stop! Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter the Sunset Battlefield!”

Boom!

The red-robed elder wanted to stop them, but he was met with a terrifying giant hand. The monstrous force pressed down and directly sent him to the ground.

His old body was thus covered with cracks.

The one who made a move was a middle-aged man at the perfection of the Myth realm. His clothes were embroidered with a golden sun that was surrounded by stars and the moon.

“The Imperial Heaven Bureau is handling matters. All else, please step back,” His cold voice shook the area.

What? They were from the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau?

Hearing his words, the faces of the many powerhouses, including the elder in red, changed.

A strong sense of fear and respect immediately emerged in their eyes at the same time.

“What kind of power is the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau?” Lin Wudao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Saint Qing Ming took a deep breath and his expression became serious.

“The so-called Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau refers to a violent organization of the Xia Dynasty in the Green Heaven region. Its nature is equivalent to the Li Dynasty’s Demon Subduing Division. However, the power, authority, strength, status, and so on of the Imperial Heaven Bureau are not something that the Demon Subduing Division can compare to.”

“The Imperial Heaven Bureau is under the command of the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty. It monitors the officials of the Empire, suppresses demons and evil spirits, maintains the stability and peace of the Empire, and is even in charge of assassinations and the elimination of dissidents. Other than that, the Imperial Heaven Bureau is also in charge of intelligence gathering, following the army to war, searching for hidden secrets, and many other matters. As long as it involves the interests of the Xia Dynasty, they will be a part of it. The Emperor has given them special permission to do anything necessary first and report later.”

“The Xia Dynasty has existed for close to ten thousand years, and the Imperial Heaven Bureau has also existed for close to ten thousand years. Their foundation and strength are beyond imagination. These people in front of us seem to be legendary Myth-realm powerhouses who are high and mighty, but in the Imperial Heaven Bureau, they are only considered the lowest level of personnel, just like the demon-subduing emissaries of the Demon Subduing Division. In the Green Heaven region, the fearsome reputation of Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau has caused countless people to be wary,” Saint Qing Ming explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.

“In that case, those who offend the Imperial Heaven Bureau will probably end up in a rather miserable state?”

“Yes. Basically, there’s no hope of survival,” Saint Qing Ming said.

He didn’t have much hope for the Mad Daoist’s end.

After provoking the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau, even if one had a hundred lives, it would not be enough.

To this, Lin Wudao’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.

“Let’s go in too.”

“But the Myth-realm powerhouses of Jiuzhou’s three great powers are there.”

“Just follow behind those people from Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau. They would not dare to stop them. As long as we don’t go to the Dragon Transformation Pool and violate their interests, we should be fine.”

Whoosh!

As he said this, Lin Wudao seized the opportunity and quickly followed behind the Imperial Heaven Bureau’s men.

Seeing this, Saint Qing Ming and the others looked at each other, clenched their jaws, and followed.

“Come, let’s go in too!”

“If they can go, why can’t we?”

“As long as we don’t go to the Dragon Transformation Pool, it should be fine.”

…

With Lin Wudao and the others taking the lead, the countless cultivators around them began to get restless as well.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Driven by the opportunities and fortunes, they swarmed toward Sunset Battlefield.

Seeing this, although the people from Xuantian Sect and the Tianxin Sword Sect wanted to stop them, they could not kill all the cultivators. They could only watch them enter coldly.

“Let’s go to the Dragon Transformation Pool.”

Boom!

The Myth-realm powerhouses waved their robes and led their disciples to quickly charge into Sunset Battlefield, heading straight for the Dragon Transformation Pool.

However, as soon as they entered Sunset Battlefield, they saw the people of the Xia Dynasty’s Imperial Heaven Bureau engaged in a frenzied battle with the Mad Daoist.
