Chapter 567: Chapter 142: Dongfang Ling, Investigate the World Thoroughly! [Ten Thousand Words]

Apparently, the person reporting the news is also emotionally inclined towards Fang Che’s side.

Dongfang Sansan sighed softly and said, "Braving life and death is certainly not to protect such people, those words are well said."

He took the report, glanced at it, and sighed softly, "The mainland is full of indulgence, while the border is engulfed in blood and fire; scoundrels are endless, shaming the loyal souls. As Dongfang Sansan, how negligent I am."

Negligent!

Those who heard these words suddenly had their hair stand on end.

The entire hall was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

"All these years, I’ve focused all my thoughts on external enemies, somewhat neglecting the mainland."

Dongfang Sansan frowned slightly, "Especially for the various major Shi Families, the supervision has been lax. If this continues, the foundation will inevitably deteriorate, and curbing problems at their root is more important than resisting the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

He instructed calmly, "Call Zhu Cheng, Liu Ran, and Yin Su over."

The records only mention these three families.

Not long after, the three came in hastily, a bit anxious and clueless, seeing the hall full of eyes inexplicably staring at them, they grew even more panicked, "Ninth lord."

Dongfang Sansan said flatly, "Just received news about your three families and a few others."

Sweat started to drip from the heads of the three men.

The calmer Dongfang Sansan’s tone, the angrier he actually was.

Thinking that they, being at the headquarters for so many years, never had a chance for a private audience with Dongfang Sansan, and now, because of this matter, they were called alone by him.

This made their legs go weak.

What on earth has the family done?

To make the Ninth lord so angry, specifically calling us over for a scolding?

"I haven’t even ascended to my ancestors’ grave, and it’s already exploded?"

"Please, Ninth lord, admonish us."

"There’s nothing good to scold about. It seems your family has suffered some losses."

Dongfang Sansan asked calmly, "Some children from your families went out to bully others and flirted with someone else’s wife, and as a result, one shout turned them into idiots. Do you think I need to personally seek justice for your families?"

Everyone trembled with fear.

The Ninth lord was so angry he began speaking sarcastically...

And Zhu Cheng and the other two were now confused and terrified.

Bully others.

Flirt with someone else’s wife.

Turned into idiots from a shout...

The three men’s faces suddenly turned ashen, sweat flowing like small rivers, and they fell to their knees with a thud, "Please, Ninth lord, calm your anger. We will go back and severely punish them immediately!"

Dongfang Sansan said mildly, "Go back and see what has become of your family. If you need help, you can find Rui Qianshan."

"Yes, yes, we will return and strictly rectify everything."

The three were drenched in sweat, their hearts trembling.

Never had they seen Dongfang Sansan so furious over the years.

And this time, he didn’t even care about saving face, scolding them publicly in the Guardian Hall.

This was already breaking a major precedent!

As the first three in hundreds of years to bear such a ’distinction,’ their minds were now a complete mess.

Amid the silence,

Dongfang Sansan’s voice slowly resonated, "On this continent, countless Guardians and defenders shed their blood, battling, sacrificing, and bleeding in order to safeguard the peace of the rear."

"They can’t even sit down with their families for a peaceful meal, lucky to reunite with their families for a few days even in a hundred years."

"Those who came to the headquarters today are here for selection, selected for what? To fight against the Wei Wo Zheng Sect! Who are these people? They are our heroes."

"We can’t ensure the safety of every hero, nor can we prevent their deaths; but if their wives are wantonly harassed by those they fight to protect... then what’s the point of their sacrifice?"

"Zhu Cheng, you three speak for yourselves, heroes desperately protect your families, establishing clans in Sanchuan City, generation after generation in peace and prosperity. And your descendants humiliate, harass the wives of heroes."

"How did your family upbringing become so exemplary?"

Dongfang Sansan, with a face like frosty snow, swept away.

After he left for half an hour, the three were still kneeling, unable to rise, until someone came to support them up, realizing then that the three were entirely limp.

With a loud shout from the Chief of the Guardian Hall, "Still supporting them? Throw them out!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The three had just been kicked out of the great hall.

Then an order was heard from within the hall, "The Ninth lord orders, starting today, to thoroughly investigate all Shi Families on the continent! From second level to ninth level, strict and severe, no leniency! Thorough investigation to the end!"

"Detailed provisions are as follows:..."

The three, trembling, stood at the bottom of the steps, faces filled with fear and anger.

"What on earth did those little brats do!"

"We better hurry back and thoroughly investigate... this has turned into a major issue now."

"Kill those that should be killed, quickly clean up, perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope."

"The Ninth lord, in his fury today, didn’t even mention dissolving the family, which shows he’s already giving you face..."

"Yes, yes, hurry, hurry."

The three couldn’t care about much else, hastily rushing towards the direction of their families.

Along the way, feeling even more fearful and angrier!

How many generations of effort to have today’s family, and yet, a single debauched descendant, unable to control his pants and impulses, brings everything to ruin!

Thinking of the Ninth lord’s words ’if you need help, find Rui Qianshan,’ their hearts turned cold.

Help from Master Jian?

He can only help you kill everyone, nothing else he can do...

...

Fang Che and the others quietly had a meal, indeed, no one came to disturb them.

Even Old Man Shen and An Ruoxing Zhao Shanhe felt something was off.

Could An Ruoxing’s name be that effective?

Just reporting a name, and that’s it?

Even An Ruoxing himself couldn’t believe that.

His name held some sway in the Southeast, but here, it truly didn’t have much deterrent power.

Could the families around the Guardian Headquarters all be so reasonable, each with such a deep understanding of duty?

After finishing the meal, it remained calm.

When they went downstairs to prepare for departure, they felt the atmosphere in Sanchuan City had changed from before.

Teams of people dressed in Guardian attire were running seriously, and there were government officials posting notices everywhere.

Coming closer for a look.

"Dongfang Order! From today onwards, thoroughly investigate all Shi Families!"

"Especially the ten crimes below, if found, there’s no leniency! Strict and severe, thorough investigation to the end!"

Dongfang Order!
