My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 172 The sea of ​​Tao is boundless; who can turn back to the shore?
Mi Yuanbei was both shocked and furious when she heard about Li Wei's arrest of people.

Enforcing the law across regions within the Immortal Abode is a major taboo!

Even if you are forced to arrest people across districts, you should at least inform your own superiors and the city leaders on the other side first!
Even if you don't give me a heads-up, you should at least choose a lower-level or equal-level county or city!

Zhongzhou City is the capital of Zhongzhou and the direct superior of Xinhai City. If you go there to arrest people without saying a word, wouldn't that be insubordination?

Who gave you the audacity?!
Huang Xiang?

But this guy has been spending all his time in Xinhai lately, meeting with various companies to rake in money, and hardly ever asking about government affairs. He seems to be in the "late stage of his special envoy career." How could he suddenly make such a big decision to take action against the divine son of Zhongzhou?

Could it be that Kong Miaodan offended him, so he is preparing to take drastic measures against the Divine Blood Clan?
Mi Yuanbei was completely baffled, so he decided to call Zhu Siqi, the Minister of Thunder, to sound him out.

The number you dialed is currently switched off, and the other party has purchased an anti-harassment service. Forced call transfer failed. Please contact us through other means.

Damn it!
Why did that old ghost shut down his phone at this time?
Mi Yuanbei keenly sensed something was amiss and quickly grabbed Xiao Qingqing to ask her many more details.

"You mean when he went to arrest people, he only had one Bai Jie Lei Li with him, and the other six Nascent Soul cultivators weren't from the Lei Department?"

Xiaoqing hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, so she subconsciously nodded and said, "Mm."

Mi Yuanbei knew things were in serious trouble.

The entire leadership of the Immortal Abode in Xinhai City consists of only eleven or twelve Nascent Soul cultivators. Adding in rogue cultivators, corporate executives, and various demons, the total number is at most twenty.

The fact that Li Wei is now accompanied by six people can only mean that there is an external force involved, and they are trying to achieve some goal through Li Wei.

Li Wei is the inspector of the Thunder Division of Xinhai City, and also a member of the special task force designated by the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy. Therefore, his words and actions represent His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and the entire Xinhai. So regardless of whether he did it himself, others will assume it was a decision made by the entire Xinhai.

That damn little brat!
Is he going to act first and ask questions later, binding everyone to his chariot?

As the deputy mayor, and one who has a close relationship with Li Wei, possibly even a father-in-law/son-in-law relationship, Mi Yuanbei will definitely become the target of public criticism!
"No! We have to stop that kid, otherwise he might really cause a major upheaval in the human world this time!"

This deadly barrier can't be closed even a little bit.

Mi Yuanbei quickly changed his clothes and used a special fragrance to suppress the stench on his body. Then, he used the special teleportation channel of the Immortal Mansion to arrive at the Thunder Department, attempting to forcibly recall Li Wei through the Thunder Department's emergency response system.

But he had just entered the door,

Then they saw the legendary Nascent Soul cultivator Lao Xin, who bore the title of "Overtime King of Zhongzhou," holding Li Wei's inspector's seal, and leading ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group to guard the Thunder Department's system.

Lao Xinzhi, as if he were at home, drank iced cola and asked, "Mayor Mi, what brings you to Lei Department?"

Mi Yuanbei now knows who the outside force Li Wei is cooperating with is!
Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group!!
This behemoth is so powerful that even if his ancestor, the Environmental Protection True Lord, personally intervened, he might not be able to defeat it, let alone a mere deputy mayor like him.

"Mr. Lao, you've come to our Xinhai territory without even saying hello. Isn't that incredibly impolite?"

Lao Xin laughed and said, "I should have paid a visit, but I've been too busy with work to find the time."

While talking,
Just then, the two officials from Zhongzhou who had been arresting people returned via teleportation. Behind them were three Nascent Soul cultivators from Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, who together suppressed seven richly dressed divine sons whose cultivation was at least at the Golden Core stage.

The seven divine sons struggled and shouted, "Have you all gone mad?! Do you know I am from the Yun family of Lan Jian City? My ancestor is a True Lord of the Heavenly Court! Let me go!"

"We've arrested the seven Yun brothers for daring to trade in dark cultivation techniques just because of your family background. You're going to get what's coming to you!"

"I want to see your Minister of Thunder, I want to see your Mayor, I want to see Special Envoy Huang!!"

"You'll see one day! Get inside!"

Several officials escorted the Yun family's divine son into the interrogation room.

Seeing this, Mi Yuanbei's face grew even more ashen: "Do you even know what you're doing? Does Zhongzhou Medicine want to incur the wrath of the masses?"

"It's not a matter of public outrage yet. The list of people arrested this time was carefully selected by us. Apart from a small number of high-ranking divine sons used to make an example of them, the vast majority are lower-ranking divine blood families with no backing, as well as some families protected by weak gods."

As Lao Xinzhi spoke, he gave Mi Yuanbei a deep look: "For example, your third brother's cultivation has improved quite a bit recently, but out of respect for the Environmental Protection True Lord and Inspector Li Wei, haven't we turned a blind eye to it?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Yuanbei clenched his fist and turned to leave without saying a word.

He knew that the people from Zhongzhou Pharmaceuticals were determined to suppress those involved in large-scale illegal cultivation transactions this time.
With the foundation of Zhongzhou medicine, even if it is opposed by some divine bloodlines, its foundation cannot be shaken.

But Li Wei and the mayors of Xinhai City have offended so many people, do they still have a chance to live? Do they still have a future?
Although Mi Yuanbei wanted to suppress Li Wei, it was because he wanted him to marry into the Mi family, not because he wanted him to die early.

Moreover, this kid has always had a close relationship with the Mi family. When the Dragon Transformation Realm collapsed, the Mi family patriarch, Huanbao Zhenjun, personally saved him. So he has long been labeled as a member of the Mi family. If he acts recklessly, the Mi family will definitely have to take the blame!

After leaving the immortal abode, Mi Yuanbei immediately called Li Wei: "You brat! Where are you now? Come back right now!!"

"Uncle Mi, I'm busy right now, could you wait for me for another twenty minutes?"

"Do you know that Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical is using you as a pawn? This is a very complicated situation, and you can't handle it. You'd better turn back before it's too late!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Wei suddenly laughed: "Uncle Mi, the path to immortality is boundless, how can there be a turning back?"

Whether it was the Mi family, Kong Miaodan, or Huang Xiang, they were essentially just using Li Wei as a useful tool; no one would truly help him become an immortal.

So he either has to survive in the cracks or kneel down and be someone's dog for the rest of his life!

He doesn't want to be a dog!
Therefore, we have no choice but to take extraordinary measures.

Whether Zhongzhou Group uses him as a weapon or as cannon fodder, he doesn't care!
The important thing is that under the protection of the Zhongzhou Group, he has gained time to cultivate and become stronger, as well as the resources to do so.

This deal is fair!
These are the rules of the Fairy Ball game.

After a long silence, Mi Yuanbei suddenly sighed, "Well, since that's how it is, then you'd better take care of yourself!"

After hanging up the phone, Mi Yuanbei looked up and saw the gate of the Immortal Abode in Xinhai City.

He originally intended to inform Huang Xiang so that she could stop Li Wei.

But now Mi Yuanbei is hesitant!

Because he found that Li Wei had said something very true.

The path to immortality is boundless, and no one can turn back.

Now that things have already happened, Zhongzhou Pharmaceuticals has essentially tied the entire Xinhai to its chariot through Li Wei, launching an attack on the cultivation transfer payment system of the dark web. Anyone who stands in the way of this chariot will be completely crushed!
Would this Heavenly Emperor's special envoy dare to go against Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical? Even if he did, could he actually stand up to Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical?
The Heavenly Emperor personally ordered the investigation into the dark web's illegal cultivation transactions. If Huang Xiang were to obstruct Li Wei and Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical from investigating the case, he would be contradicting the Heavenly Emperor's instructions. How could he, as the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, possibly convince the public?
Mi Yuanbei judged others by his own standards. If he were the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, his first reaction upon learning of this would definitely be to stay out of it, try to be transferred back to the Heavenly Court in advance, or simply go into seclusion and stop caring about worldly affairs.

If things fail, it won't be his fault; if things succeed, he'll naturally get credit!
The only ones truly facing danger are Li Wei and the entire New Sea!

Thinking of this, Mi Yuanbei's expression immediately turned cold: "We absolutely cannot let Huang Xiang stay out of this."

Even for their own sake and for the safety of the entire New Sea, they had to bring this special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor onto the ship; otherwise, no one could withstand the raging torrent of the Divine Blood Clan.

So instead of reporting the news, Mi Yuanbei used the power of the Mi family to spread rumors about Huang Xiang, such as that he had met with representatives of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical, that he had spoken with Li Wei this morning, or that he had secretly left the Immortal Abode.

This kind of thing doesn't need empirical evidence; as long as there's even a hint of it, people will start to speculate.

It's worth mentioning that Mi Yuanbei wasn't the only one who chose to keep it from Huang Xiang at this moment.

Li Wei's arrests were so commotion that it was impossible to keep it from the leaders of Xinhai. In just one morning, they were questioned by at least thirty municipal-level immortal prefectures, with the most intense criticism coming from Zhongzhou, where the most people were arrested!
Everyone was very angry at first.

But they quickly realized that this time, whether they liked it or not, they were forced to be tied to Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical, and apart from Huang Xiang, no one could remain uninvolved. So what could they do?
Of course, the choice is to drag Special Envoy Huang into this mess too!
Otherwise, how can everyone withstand it?

We've all been giving Special Envoy Huang so much money lately, it's time to ask him for a small favor. After all, this is a case His Majesty ordered him to investigate. He'll be very pleased to know how "dedicated" we've been.

Thus, Huang Xiang became the "happiest" person in Quanxinhai.
A raging storm swept across the entire Central Continent, drawing countless eyes to Xinhai. However, Xinhai Immortal Mansion desperately kept the storm outside the envoy's office, allowing Brother Huang to leisurely lie in his office drinking tea all day long.

What utmost respect for one's superior? What profound care for a special envoy?

Xinhai City's Xianfu really deserves a "Touching Zhongzhou Award"!

Huang Xiang especially liked this kind of leisurely life.

Seeing that no one had bothered him all day, he couldn't help but feel relieved and said, "The people of Xinhai Xianfu are quite capable. I can finally get some rest."

He must be exhausted in Xinhai these days.

Fortunately, they made quite a bit of money!
During his time as a special envoy, he embezzled at least 10 billion yuan, both big and small. Combined with the wealth he had accumulated before, he should be able to prepare for his tribulation and ascension when he returns!

"Three hundred years of accumulation, yet the chance of becoming an immortal is still less than 60%. The path to godhood is just too difficult."

If it weren't for making money, he wouldn't have taken on the arduous task of being the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy. But now that everything is about to settle down, he only needs to finish his last shift, and once the Heavenly Emperor returns, he can return to the Nine Heavens.

"No! This is the only chance to make money. Before we leave, we have to find a way to squeeze some more cash out of the powerful forces in Xinhai City!"

Thinking of this, Huang Xiang quickly took out his phone, preparing to call his former special envoy senior brother to ask if there were any better ways to make money.

As soon as the call connected, the other party launched into a tirade: "Little Huang! No! Brother Huang! It's all my fault for being blind and underestimating you. I never expected you to be the boldest one among us!"

"Warrior!"

"You are absolutely the number one warrior in the Three Realms!"

Huang Xiangren was completely bewildered: "Senior brother, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Hahaha! Don't pretend, kid. Everyone knows about your collaboration with Zhongzhou Pharmaceuticals to arrest people. It's been reported in the news. How could it be false?"

Huang Xiang's head exploded with a buzzing sound.

What the hell?

Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical arrested people, but who the hell did I arrest?

Huang Xiang couldn't continue the call and quickly turned on her office computer. She then saw that the top ten trending searches on the Xianhu Browser were all about him!
[The Heavenly Emperor's special envoy swept through seventy-four cities, capturing 186 descendants of divine blood!]

[Special Envoy Huang Xiang enforces the law with an iron fist!]

[The special envoy is really good!]

Huang Xiang was so enraged he felt like he was going to vomit blood. He couldn't help but roar in his heart, "Who is trying to harm me?"

Just as he was going crazy, a live stream's popularity began to rise wildly, quickly becoming the top-ranked stream.

[News Conference by the Raibu Police Department of Xinhai City Regarding the Cross-Regional Arrest of Criminals Involved in the Trafficking of Black Cultivation Arts]

At the main gate of the New Hai Lei Department, countless reporters were setting up magical artifacts and equipment, waiting for the press conference to begin.

In a corner unseen by others, inside and outside the gates of the Thunder Department, Li Wei was constantly adjusting his attire.

“Hey you, tear my clothes a little more, and punch me in the face too. All of you who came to this press conference with me, you all have to be injured so everyone can see what kind of ‘obstacles’ we, the law enforcement officers, have encountered in the process!”

"Yes!"

So the group started attacking each other, and soon they were all bruised and battered.

"That's enough, let's go!"

Li Wei then suddenly pushed open the door and walked towards the group of reporters.

"It's Inspector Li! They've finally come out!"

"My God! How could they have been beaten like this? Did those divine children actually dare to use force against the law enforcement?"

"It must be! These families with divine bloodlines are far too lawless. No matter what, they are Thunder Officials, the law enforcement authorities of the Heavenly Court. They actually resisted the law, so they must have something to hide!"

Countless reporters immediately sympathized with Li Wei and swarmed forward like madmen: "Inspector Li, were your injuries inflicted by the Divine Child?"

Did they resist law enforcement?

"Does your mine department have concrete evidence to arrest people?"

Click, click, click! ! !
The blinding flashes of light seemed to illuminate the entire city of Xinhai.

Li Wei even had to use his spiritual energy to create a protective film for his eyes before he could finally make it onto the stage and address the reporters:

"Next, we will hold a press conference regarding this large-scale cross-regional law enforcement raid!"

"First of all, let me state that this incident was not carried out under the instructions of Special Envoy Huang, nor was it discussed with the leaders of Xinhai in advance. The arrest was entirely planned and carried out by the Lei Department of Xinhai City, so it has nothing to do with anyone else. If these Divine Blood Families want to retaliate, please retaliate against me alone."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiang subconsciously felt relieved!
Li Wei is a kind and honest person!

He dared to take on such a big responsibility; it seems he is still loyal to me!

Huang Xiang is now desperate to find someone to take the blame, so he convinced himself...

But the question is, will other people believe this?

How dare a mere inspector arrest so many people?
That's more like lying to a ghost!

Therefore, the more Li Wei insisted that he had nothing to do with Huang Xiang, the more many people felt that he was just a pawn.
Especially for those important figures, even if they had a burning desire to kill, they were too lazy to vent it on Li Wei, but instead harbored deep resentment towards Huang Xiang.

Screw your Heavenly Emperor's envoy! You dare to do it but not admit it? We'll teach you a lesson you won't regret!
Meanwhile, the press conference continued.

Li Wei stood tall under the spotlight, his back straight, radiating a godlike aura.

"This arrest was made because Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group reported us to the authorities. After we examined the evidence, we found that many Divine Sons were indeed secretly conducting large-scale illegal cultivation transactions, disrupting the cultivation market on the Immortal Sphere!"

"We, the Xinhai Lei Division, are entrusted with a great responsibility by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. We dare not bend the law for personal gain, nor dare we turn a blind eye! Therefore, in order to uphold the Heavenly Laws and fulfill the mission entrusted to us by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, we have decided to risk starting a cross-border arrest operation!"

"I urge you all here: the mortal realm is not a lawless place, and divine blood is not your shield! Whether you are a divine child or a common cultivator, you are all equal before the Heavenly Laws!"

"We will never compromise with criminals!!"

"Therefore, I solemnly announce that we will be prosecuting the following 186 individuals, including Yang Zhen, Li Tianling, and Zhao Lulu."

With each name read aloud, the surrounding reporters felt their blood boil with excitement.

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been since the Heavenly Court has had an inspector who dared to take action against a family of divine bloodlines?
Inspector Li is the light of law enforcement in our Three Realms!
