After leaving Yu Jiâs tent, Ye Luo felt much more at ease.
In this way, it seems that the Law Enforcers should not act hastily, which gave him a lot of time to prepare.
Therefore, his target once again fell on the Gold Silk Wood!
However, before he could take action, some problems arose.
The Emissary arrived!
And he came with a menacing force, clearly here to hold someone accountable!
Ye Luo was surprised, as the Emissary wasnât so idle. If nothing happened here, why did he suddenly appear?
Moreover, if he discovered the captainâs anomaly, it would ultimately be a huge threat!
Perhaps the Law Enforcers would act early, so a murderous intent arose in Ye Luoâs heart!
When he saw the few seasoned Guards beside the Emissary, he immediately understood what was going on!
They were the ones who contacted the Emissary. It seems that the reason these Guards survived so long without turning into fertilizer must be due to their close relationship with the Emissary!
"You, come here!"
From a distance, the Emissary frowned and pointed at Ye Luo, commanding with authority.
Ye Luo naturally walked over, after all, the Emissary represents the Law Enforcers. If conflict could be avoided, it should be.
"I heard youâve become the vice-captain? Who gave you that authority? A mere Guard exercising the captainâs authority, you tell me, should you not die?"
Ye Luo squinted his eyes, such words were indeed quite rude.
"Reporting to the Lord, this authority was granted to me by the captain, who instructed me to do these things. Iâm just following the captainâs orders!" Ye Luo replied neither arrogantly nor subserviently.
After all, once a captain is chosen, even the Emissary cannot casually kill or spare, as the group of Guards still holds a certain special status.
"Oh? So if he tells you to do something, you just do it? You donât need to explain this to me. Youâre a mere Guard and dare to do such things. Naturally, I cannot spare your life. So tell me, how can I not kill you?" The Emissary scoffed coldly.
Evidently, he was aware that Ye Luo possessed the Essence of the Spirit Pond.
Ye Luo naturally heard the undertone of his words, but what was he compared to Ye Luo? Ye Luo didnât take him seriously at all. Although the Emissary had good cultivation, he was insidious, unscrupulous, and short-sighted, not worth Ye Luoâs recruitment.
"I donât understand what you mean, Lord. I only know that I cannot disobey the captainâs orders. As long as I follow the captainâs words, I havenât broken any rules. If you make a move on me, Lord, I wonât stand for it!"
Wonât stand for it?
The guards around the Emissary widened their eyes. A Guard daring to defy the Emissary, perhaps only Ye Luo had that audacity.
The Emissary also squinted his eyes, naturally enraged.
As an Emissary, encountering him is like encountering a Law Enforcer. Ordinarily, he was revered by those guards. When had he ever come across such an unruly guard?
"Since you say so, I have no choice but to end your life. Otherwise, if all guards are like you in the future, wouldnât it be chaotic?" the Emissary shouted angrily.
But Ye Luo remained unmoved, "Since the Emissary says so, then even if I perish, I must reason with the Law Enforcers. The rules were set by the Law Enforcers, and we all know they value rules the most!"
Upon hearing this, the Emissaryâs expression changed slightly!
Indeed, the rules are such that if a Guard is not at fault, no one can kill him!
However, rules are rules. Usually, if the Emissary kills one or two Guards, it is considered a normal occurrence.
But what Ye Luo said also made sense. If he really fought to appeal, the Emissary wouldnât escape blame!
"Fine, very good. Iâll remember you, and we shall see!"
After saying this, the Emissary turned and left in a rage.
The guards behind him gave Ye Luo repeated cold smiles, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
"You all, stop!" Ye Luo suddenly shouted at the guards.
The guards paused for a moment, stopping instinctively.
"This areaâs energy shield has become somewhat weak. You are responsible for repairing it!"
Repairing the energy shield was no pleasant task. After all, the energy shield was constructed by the Law Enforcers. These guards could repair it, but it would cost them their vital essence!
Vital essence was the lifeblood of a Cultivator. If lost, oneâs lifespan, Origin Source, and strength would all suffer!
"Ye Luo, youâre going too far! Such tasks are for the newcomers. How dare you command us to do it?" one of the guards angrily shouted.
Ye Luo also sneered, "All I know is youâre Guards. How does it matter between newcomers and veterans? Since the captain gave me authority, Iâll naturally exercise it. If you disobey orders, Iâll let the captain handle it! You know the consequences!"
Upon hearing this, the guards were furious but dared not say more!
After all, in dealing with Guards, the captainâs authority was greater than the Emissaryâs!
For example, if a guard disobeys orders, the captain has the right to execute the guard, turning them into fertilizer, but the Emissary does not have that authority.
Therefore, the guards were more fearful of the captain.
Immediately, these guards were in a difficult position, casting their eyes on the Emissary.
At this moment, the Emissary had stopped in his tracks. Ye Luoâs actions clearly targeted him, thus his gaze at Ye Luo was as if he wanted to devour him.
"Boy, do you really plan to go through with this?" the Emissary asked sinisterly.
"Reporting to the Lord, the captainâs orders are not to be neglected. This energy shield concerns the safety of the entire Gold Silk Forest. Can you, Lord, bear that responsibility?" Ye Luo asked.
The Emissary squinted his eyes. This energy shield was indeed a significant matter; he couldnât possibly bear this responsibility!
"Very well, go repair the energy shield. This matter wonât end here!"
Having said that, the Emissary left in a huff.
The guards gave Ye Luo a complicated look before reluctantly going to repair the energy shield.
In reality, the energy shield had existed for so many years, and it was weak everywhere. Even if they offered their vital essence, it would be of no avail. This was merely a method previously used by the captain to discipline the Guards.
But this method was indeed quite effective!
No other reason, but if a guard repaired the energy shield for a month, their vital essence would be drained, and at that point, they would naturally perish.
Seeing the Emissary walk away, Ye Luo also snorted coldly and returned to his tent.
"Ye Luo, wasnât your approach a bit reckless?"
As soon as he returned to the tent, Yu Ji entered with a stern expression.
