Chapter 907: Chapter 652: He’s Not High Enough Level, What About Me?
"Return Elder Pu to us, you people from the Patrol Defense Office are too overbearing! In broad daylight, you dare to kidnap an elder from our academy, is there no justice left?!" A man with a long saber and wearing a leather jacket shouted loudly.
It turned out to be a countercharge; his impression of Yiling Academy had increasingly worsened. Counting this time, he had already clashed with them three times.
The first time was at Ru Lin Academy, where he accidentally witnessed the second-in-command of the Elder Council, Han Jun, committing a crime and was subsequently chased by him, the second involved Sui, and today... was the third time, which was even more outrageous as these guys had the audacity to come knocking.
"Distorting right and wrong, it was clearly your Elder Pu who tried to assassinate me and failed, being captured by me instead. Not killing him on the spot was already showing your face, truly ungrateful!" Yang Xiao stepped forward, unyielding.
"Yang Xiao, don’t be too arrogant. Relying on the backing of the Patrol Defense Office, you don’t even regard us Jianghu Sects!" Someone from the opposition shouted.
These people clearly came prepared; not only were there people from Yiling Academy but also other Jianghu forces, and Yang Xiao even noticed someone secretly recording in the background. Clearly, they wanted to trap him, escalate the situation, and magnify the issue between him and Elder Pu to involve the Patrol Defense Office and even provoke a conflict between the Patrol Defense Office and many Jianghu sects. Such intentions are sinister.
"Yang Xiao, your rank is too low, go call your Director Nalan, I will speak with him!" The leader of this group was a middle-aged man, dressed in a leather coat, robust, with a rough face marked by a scar from a blade. Yang Xiao had seen him before, on the night he clashed with Sui; this man was the leader from Yiling Academy.
Yang Xiao scoffed, seeing right through this man’s pretense, "Don’t flatter yourself. If Director Nalan were at home, would you people even dare to come calling?"
The increasingly arrogant attitude of these people also infuriated Yang Xiao, who scanned the faces of these guys in the front row, deciding to make an example of one. He didn’t want trouble, but these fellows seemed dead set on finding it, so he didn’t mind sending a few on their way first.
He looked for familiar faces among these people to avoid further escalation, sparing the other sects that had been dragged into this. He would target those from Yiling Academy, leaving the leader, the middle-aged man, be for now, for he still had questions for him afterwards.
Just as Yang Xiao marked his target intending to carry out the killing, a commotion suddenly came from outside the gate, sounding like quite a number of people were entering.
"His rank is insufficient, what about mine?" The next second, a voice came, not loud, but just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Immediately after, the opposition’s members quickly dispersed, directly clearing a path, and Yang Xiao saw Captain Qu Muzhi with a cold face coming through, holding a long spear, and by his side walked a middle-aged man in the black uniform of the Patrol Defense Office.
The newcomer was none other than Chief Huang Guozhao of the City Center Official Residence and the only real authority in Rongcheng Patrol Division comparable to Nalan Shuo.
Seeing Huang Guozhao had arrived, the leader of the opposition’s attitude improved significantly, immediately approaching to greet him, "Director Huang, you finally came, today..."
However, before the middle-aged man could get close, he was pushed back by Captain Qu Muzhi, who pointed a spear at his nose. Chief Huang didn’t even give him a glance.
Walking straight up to Yang Xiao, Huang Guozhao paused, his deep eyes lingering on Yang Xiao’s face for a moment before speaking, "Captain Yang, according to the Patrol Defense Office’s security regulations, how should we deal with envoys who trespass into our office?"
"Capture them immediately for strict interrogation," Yang Xiao replied truthfully.
"What if they resist?"
"If they dare to resist, kill them on the spot!" Yang Xiao stood at attention and responded loudly.
"Act according to the orders," Huang Guozhao turned around, coldly looking at the brash crowd in front of him, his eyes devoid of mercy, "Captain Yang, Captain Qu, today, should any ruffian who intruded into our vital Patrol Defense Office location escape, you two should go back and submit your resignation reports for my approval."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of dense footsteps came from outside the Patrol Defense Office. Yang Xiao saw a large group of people dressed in the uniform of the Patrol Defense Office coming in orderly towards this place, and several black SUVs parked directly across the courtyard gate, blocking the retreat of this group.
Among these people, some were commanding the squads to quickly occupy high ground and advantageous terrains. Yang Xiao vaguely saw two familiar faces, Captain Wu Zhengwu and Captain Wu Zhe, it seemed that brothers from various divisions had come to support.
Seeing the magnitude of tonight’s incident, the middle-aged leader of Yiling Academy also panicked, shouting loudly, "Director Huang! We did not intend to be enemies with the Rongcheng Patrol Division, it’s just that our academy elder was captured by Yang Xiao for no reason..."
"Attack!" Yang Xiao roared, charging at the middle-aged man making the nonsensical rant, whom he had long found displeasing to the eye.
Captain Qu Muzhi and several other captains followed close behind. Qu Muzhi dashed into the crowd, swinging his long spear and sweeping several people in the front away with the move "Sweeping Thousand Army". Although not using lethal(force), broken arms and legs were inevitable.
Except for about a dozen from Yiling Academy, the rest were simply a ragtag mob brought to make up the numbers, utterly unable to withstand a single blow. Moreover, they didn’t dare resist much, given the prowess of the Patrol Defense Office was evident. If they were really killed, no one would dare to raise objections.
The reason they agreed to come was because the leader from Yiling Academy told them that standing in the back and shouting a few times to bolster the atmosphere would earn them benefits. However, no one expected that one misstep would lead them to this dire situation.
