Chapter 716

At this moment, he wore a fawning expression.

This was an inspection envoy from the Heavenly Palace.

Each one was an existence at the seventh level of the Saint realm.

If he provoked the other side, he would likely be in trouble.

However, at this moment, the inspection envoy.

Frowned, not hiding his disgust in the slightest.

"Who are you, why are you blocking my way!"

Zhao Xing quickly bowed and saluted.

"Subordinate Zhao Xing, I am the City Lord of this Heavenly Scorpion City!"

After his voice fell, he waited for the inspection envoy's reprimand.

"So it is City Lord Zhao."

Chapter 398: Neglect

Upon hearing this, the envoy said coldly.

Then, he commanded the guards behind him.

"Beat this bastard to death for me, he actually dared to block my way!"

As his voice rang out.

Zhao Xing dared not delay.

He drew the weapon in his hand and charged toward the inspection envoy.

And the other side showed a trace of contempt in his eyes.

He punched out.

The two collided.

In an instant, Zhao Xing vomited blood and flew backward.

The inspection envoy's strength was far greater than his.

Just after the first exchange, he was injured.

"How dare you! His Majesty ordered me to guard Heavenly Scorpion City. Are you not afraid of His Majesty's punishment!"

At this moment, Zhao Xing shouted hoarsely.

And the inspection envoy smiled at the corners of his mouth.

Then, a cold voice rang out.

"His Majesty? Hmph, what kind of person is His Majesty? Would he care about your lives?

Today, let me send you to see King Yama!"

After his voice fell.

The sword in his hand bloomed with brilliant cold light.

And slashed toward Zhao Xing.

Scorching light shot out.

Leaving a savage scar on Zhao Xing's chest.

Immediately afterward, he kicked him again.

Zhao Xing's body fell to the ground.

Blood gushed from his mouth.

At this moment, he had already lost his combat ability.

A look of horror appeared in his eyes.

He had not expected the other side to be so vicious.

However, the inspection envoy did not pay attention to Zhao Xing's gaze.

He walked slowly to the other's side and said indifferently.

"City Lord Zhao, there is no future in following Great Han. You should just surrender.

I guarantee you can leave safely, and even receive rewards. Choose for yourself!"

After his voice fell, he prepared to turn and leave.

And just after his voice fell.

Zhao Xing's expression changed.

Clearly, the inspection envoy's words were too tempting.

Not only could he live.

But he could also receive rewards.

Thinking of this, how could he refuse?

He immediately shouted.

"I am willing to cooperate with you."

"Very good, sensible!"

A look of satisfaction appeared in the inspection envoy's eyes.

Then, he said in a deep voice to the guard beside him.

"You take City Lord Zhao down to heal his wounds first. At tomorrow's morning court, I will personally report to His Majesty.

At the same time, tell him that if he dares to block Great Han, he will definitely pay the price!"

Upon hearing this, the inspection envoy's personal guard retreated respectfully.

Zhao Xing, after the other side left, retreated cautiously.

However, he was thinking in his heart.

Why was this inspection envoy doing this?

After all, the other side and he were complete strangers.

Yet he was actually willing to help Great Han.

However, at this moment, he did not know the answer.

Zhao Xing looked at the memorial in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, I didn't expect this inspection envoy to have some backbone. Since that's the case, let's transfer him to Heavenly Scorpion City.

However, don't make him the Deputy City Lord; let him serve as a Viceroy of a region. That way he'll have something to do, and it will save some trouble!"

His voice was filled with deep excitement.

He had been too idle recently.

Moreover, Heavenly Scorpion City was too far from Great Han.

It was very difficult to attack.

Therefore, in Zhao Xing's view, he really needed some people to help.

And not long after his order was issued.

That inspection envoy came to Zhao Xing's side.

His expression was incomparably gloomy.

At this moment, he said through gritted teeth.

"City Lord Zhao, you are making things difficult for me!"

At this moment, he wished he could tear Zhao Xing apart.

This City Lord of Heavenly Scorpion City was simply pushing him into a fire pit.

"This is simple. If you don't like it, you can be transferred elsewhere.

However, the position of commander of this city will be yours!"

Zhao Xing said.

His voice carried a trace of playfulness.

"Good, it's a deal!"

The inspection envoy understood in his heart that if he refused, he would likely suffer a loss.

So, he could only agree.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he walked toward the outside of the hall.

And at this moment, the inspection envoy.

After exiting the city gate.

The flames of anger in his eyes became even more intense.

His voice was incomparably cold.

"Keep a close watch on the Zhao family. If you discover any unusual movements, report them immediately!"

At this moment, he was prepared to take action against the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family was powerful.

But he had the backing of the Imperial Clan, so he wasn't someone they could just manipulate.

"As you command!"

Upon hearing the order.

An inspection envoy said.

Then, he led another one and disappeared from the spot.

Heavenly Scorpion City was near the Heavenly Wind Mountain Range.

Although the terrain was rugged, the spiritual energy was abundant.

It was one of the most prosperous places in the surrounding area.

However, it was now plunged into deep water and scorching fire.

The Great Han army was constantly attacking major cities.

The entire Heavenly Scorpion City was like the end of the world, with screams and wails ringing out.

And at this moment, Zhao Xing, just after exiting the City Lord's Mansion.

Saw Liu Zheng riding on a dragon beast.

Incomparably majestic, like a god.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him were vast and boundless, emitting bursts of murderous aura.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I did not know of your arrival.

This subordinate failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you will forgive me!"

Seeing the Great Han army attacking, Zhao Xing dared not delay and quickly said.

At this moment, sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"Hmm, I heard that Heavenly Scorpion City was being plundered.

I came specifically to assist you, I did not expect such a thing to happen!"

His voice carried a trace of blame.

However, to Zhao Xing's ears, it sounded like celestial music.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This matter is indeed due to my poor management, I ask for Your Majesty's punishment!"

Zhao Xing said.

His voice was incomparably respectful.

Afterward, he continued.

"Your Majesty, this Heavenly Scorpion City has already been breached, and it is not suitable for us to be stationed here for a long time. Why not follow Your Majesty into the palace!"

Zhao Xing said cautiously.

Now, inside Heavenly Scorpion City, the commoners were displaced, which was a good opportunity to win them over.

If he missed it, he feared there would be no such opportunity in the future.

But Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

"This Heavenly Scorpion City is the fief of the Heavenly Wind Emperor.

If we occupy it, it will arouse his suspicion, so it is not possible for now!"

His voice carried a trace of solemnity.

Afterward, he integrated the information into the memory fragments.

These fragments were not complete, but they were enough for him to understand some things.

It turned out that there were six Emperors sitting in this world.

They were the Azure Dragon Emperor, the Vermilion Bird Emperor, the White Tiger Emperor, the Black Tortoise Emperor, the Qilin Emperor, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Emperor.

Besides these Emperors, there were many Dharma Protectors.

Their cultivation speed was extremely fast.

The lowest was at the seventh level of the Half-Saint realm.

And their combat experience was incomparably rich.

Even the inspection envoy was not qualified to see them.

This made Zhao Xing feel extremely tricky.
