Chapter 729: Chapter 164: Spell of the Snow Calamity, Chronicle Revisited (7000+)_2

Yu Ming shook his head: “You don’t understand, magic can affect the human mind. Some magic just bewilders people’s hearts, while some can affect the body through the mind. For example, those mummies we saw back then, they burned themselves alive!”

“Burned themselves alive?”

Kang Changyu was horrified and completely unable to understand how this could be done.

Yu Ming said gravely: “In any case, some magic is very bizarre. The spells written on this flyer might really make people’s bodies heat up to withstand the cold.”

“So what do we do?”

Kang Changyu asked.

In such deadly cold weather, with communication cut off and no aid coming from the court, if the spell on the flyer can indeed ward off the cold, most people wouldn’t care who it’s cursing!

“Organize people immediately, search every house. This stuff can’t be allowed to circulate. Once it spreads, we might all lose our heads in the future!”

Yu Ming gritted his teeth and said.

“Then how do we solve the problem of keeping warm?”

Kang Changyu knew that searching the flyers could only address the symptoms, not the root cause.

“Mobilize the influential families in the town to distribute resources, starting with you and me!”

Yu Ming decisively decided to spend money to avert disaster.

“Alright.”

Kang Changyu also understood the seriousness of it. Although he felt the pinch, he decided to cooperate.

Bam——

A dull noise suddenly came from downstairs.

The two in the study were startled and quickly stood up.

Kang Changyu immediately took out his sidearm from the holster on his waist and walked to the study door, listening for any sounds outside.

Yu Ming glanced at the battle knife hanging on the wall, the weapon he brought back when he retired from the Border Army.

In the end, he did not take the battle knife off the wall but instead took a revolver from the drawer.

Having left the battlefield for many years, he was no longer the warrior who dared to fight back then.

Even if he was a Body Breaking Stage Martial Artist, he trusted more in the gun in his hand.

The two exchanged a glance, opened the study door, and looked outside…

On this day, Kang Town was still being ravaged by the snowstorm.

The Inspection Office took no action, and the Town Mayor’s house did not distribute any resources.

Under the blanket of ice and snow, seven provinces of Da Lan Dynasty experienced snow disasters, affecting millions of people.

What happened in Kang Town was simultaneously happening in many other places.

….

Lanling City.

Marquis Jing’an Mansion.

The mansion no longer had only Li Fei. Now there were more than a dozen maids and servants, as well as a housekeeper and guards.

All these people were arranged by Lv Wenxing for Li Fei and were trustworthy.

Li Fei pushed open his room door and walked into the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

The snow was still falling, but compared to last month, it had decreased significantly, and the temperature was gradually warming up.

Ordinary people might think the weather was getting better, but only those proficient in magic could perceive a vast magical power in the sky that was affecting the snowstorm over the entire city!

Li Fei speculated that this was a Big Array covering Lanling City at work.

This Big Array might have been constructed by the court back in the day when the Western Alliance Army was at the city’s gates, intended to prevent Lanling City from being bombed again.

However, instead of being used to resist Western bombers, it was first used to counter the snowstorm.

“Marquis.”

A voice came from behind.

Li Fei turned around to see Lv Wenxing approaching.

“Old Lv, what’s the matter?”

Now, Li Fei’s address for Lv Wenxing had changed from ‘Lv Daren’ to ‘Old Lv.’

“The case of Chi Chengyu has been judged!”

Lv Wenxing got straight to the point.

“Oh? What was the verdict?”

“He admitted to forming cliques for personal gain, embezzlement, and suppressing colleagues, but he wouldn’t admit to murdering Su Xuesong’s only son, Su Yifei. Currently, there’s no solid evidence proving Su Yifei was killed by his orders.”

“Actually, I think Su Xuesong may not really believe his son was killed by Chi Chengyu, he just needs a target to vent his anger.”

“Marquis, you are insightful.”

“What about the collusion between the Entry World Conference and the New Heaven Association?”

“This Chi Chengyu also admitted, but claimed they were merely business partners and he was unaware of the New Heaven Association.”

“Hmm, so what was the final judgment?”

“Chi Chengyu was dismissed from his position and lost his rank as a cabinet official. He was dispatched to fight in the Northern Territory to redeem his crimes with merit.”

Lv Wenxing said.

After all, Chi Chengyu is a Martial Arts Master, and the crimes he admitted to weren’t too severe, so he wasn’t given a heavy sentence.

Conveniently, the war in the Northern Territory hasn’t ceased, so sending him there to redeem his crimes might give him a chance to make a comeback in the future.

Li Fei wasn’t interested in the outcome of Chi Chengyu’s sentencing; he only wanted to know if this case could provide leads on the New Heaven Association and thus close the Heavenly Altar assassination case.

“Accompany me to the Monitoring Pavilion.”

Li Fei said to Lv Wenxing.

“Alright.”

Lv Wenxing turned and headed to the garage to get the car ready.

Soon, a car drove out of Marquis Jing’an Mansion.

“Marquis, the Blue Patrol Pavilion’s first national vote is set for the 1st of next month.”

In the car, Lv Wenxing said to Li Fei while driving:

“In Feng Province, your application has passed, and you can participate in the vote as a Reserve Council Member. Besides you, there are two other reserve council members from Feng Province, He Zhuoran and Miao Lang.

He Zhuoran is from Yunxi Mansion, the sect leader of Lingyun Sect. Miao Lang is a tributor of the Lu Family.”

The matter of the Blue Patrol Pavilion was officially approved at the Grand Court on February 1st.

In the following period, the court issued invitations to all eligible individuals and forces from the twenty-three provinces, inviting them to join the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

As long as one possesses cultivation at the Tao Foundation Stage or Possession Stage and passes the assessment, one can become an adviser to the Blue Patrol Pavilion.
