Chief Steward Mao of Prince Huan's Mansion, wielding Prince Huan's Golden Order, threatened Commander Ye Zhen and began releasing high-profile prisoners. Despite his arrogance, Ye Zhen contacted Chief Eunuch Yu Chaoen for guidance. Yu Chaoen, after learning of Mao's audacity, promised to send his own people within an hour. Soon after, representatives arrived, and then Yu Chaoen's forces, leading to Mao Yongcheng's collapse.

"Who is the Chief Eunuch of the Foreign Affairs Office, Mao Yongcheng?"

A stern shout, and the Chief Steward Mao of Prince Huan’s Mansion, who was already sweating profusely and soaking the ground with his perspiration, instantly went limp on the floor.

Even though no one replied, the eunuch in the Green Python Official Robe understood who Mao Yongcheng was.

"Take him down!"

With a low shout, two eunuchs emerged from behind the eunuch in the Green Python Official Robe and charged straight at the Chief Steward Mao from Prince Huan’s Mansion.

Seeing someone coming to seize him, Mao Yongcheng’s eyes showed more terror, but they were full of unwillingness. He knew all too well who was coming to arrest him.

They were from the Punishment Department, within the Internal Affairs of the Great Zhou.

The Punishment Department of the Internal Affairs was a place that made all eunuchs dread, and once you entered, few could come out intact.

What’s more fatal was the identity of the eunuch in the Green Python Official Robe standing before him.

The Punishment Department has two Grand Commanders in charge, known as the Left and Right Commanders.

Generally, these Left and Right Commanders rarely appear in person to apprehend the internal affairs eunuch unless the Chief Eunuch orders it.

In other words, the Left Grand Commander of the Punishment Department apprehending him here meant Chief Eunuch Yu Chao’en had spoken.

The terror of Mao Yongcheng can be imagined.

However, even ants strive to live.

Mao Yongcheng did not want to be quietly captured into the Punishment Department and silently turned into muck.

In a desperate moment, Mao Yongcheng suddenly raised the Prince Huan’s Golden Order in hand and shouted hysterically, "Prince Huan’s Golden Order is here, who dares to behave recklessly?

Who dares to touch me?"

Seeing the two eunuchs charging over, completely ignoring the Prince Huan’s Golden Order in his hand, Mao Yongcheng hardened his heart, and the Qi of Dao Realm surged immediately.

The Left Grand Commander of the Punishment Department in the Green Python Official Robe, who had been coldly watching Chief Steward Mao, let out a cold snort through his nose.

"Mad."

Almost simultaneously, two dark shadows darted out from the void above Mao Yongcheng’s head like lightning, and in the changing silhouettes, hundreds of Palm Shadows heavily imprinted upon him.

These two dark shadows exuded a Dao Realm aura even more fierce than that on Mao Yongcheng.

Mao Yongcheng shouted and held up the Prince Huan’s Golden Order to meet the Palm Shadows, but it was as if he was trying to catch four hands with two fists in a state of extreme panic.

A thin, long black needle pierced into Mao Yongcheng’s forehead.

His body stiffened, convulsed violently, and instantly turned black.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhen was shocked.

The next moment, Mao Yongcheng’s eyes bulged out, his top of the skull exploded suddenly, and a two-inch tall three-colored Primordial Spirit identical to Mao Yongcheng in appearance and filled with extreme panic shot out.

At the moment of escape, Mao Yongcheng’s Primordial Spirit tried to flee, but the two eunuchs who had just dashed out were like veterans. A fine black net immediately covered Mao Yongcheng’s Primordial Spirit, trapping it tightly.

Mao Yongcheng’s Primordial Spirit let out a despairing wail, "Left Grand Commander, why? What crime has our family committed, why are you capturing me?"

The Left Grand Commander of the Punishment Department in the Green Python Official Robe gave Mao Yongcheng a contemptuous look and slowly picked up the Prince Huan’s Golden Order dropped on the ground.

"Take them all away!"

A few breaths later, the Left Grand Commander of the Punishment Department in the Green Python Official Robe bowed to Ye Zhen and then turned away. Dozens of eunuchs escorted the hundreds of little eunuchs brought by Chief Steward Mao, carrying Mao Yongcheng’s body, disappearing ghost-like into the darkness.

Afterward, the first middle-aged man in the dark robe who had shown a token to subdue Mao Yongcheng also bowed to Ye Zhen and vanished into the darkness.

A few breaths later, the Mother-child Magic Conch that Ye Zhen had previously used to contact the Grand Overseer of Internal Affairs, Great Zhou, Yu Chaoen, emitted green Spirit Light again.

"Is it resolved?" Yu Chaoen’s voice echoed.

"Yes, it’s resolved, thank you, Grand Steward..."

"No thanks are needed for the old man, you know why the old man helps you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled bitterly, "I understand..." Then the green light of the Mother-child Magic Conch faded away.

Ye Zhen understood Yu Chaoen’s implication that this meant Ye Zhen owed him Yu Chaoen a great favor, telling him to remember it.

Ye Zhen also knew well that finding Yu Chaoen for help worked well, but owing Yu Chaoen a personal favor was definitely hard to repay.

Nevertheless, many debts do not vex.

Last time, to obtain the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal Avatar, Ye Zhen had asked Yu Chaoen for help, already owing him a favor once, now just adding one more.

Repaying him wholeheartedly in the future is all it takes.

With Chief Steward Mao taken away, the complete takeover of the Ancient Teleportation Formation in Haiyuan City is not far for Ye Zhen.

"My Lord, Prime Minister Xuy Shi of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom wishes to meet with you, claiming he has important matters to report," a Heavenly Patrol Divine Envoy came to report.

"Prime Minister Xuy Shi?" With a shift in his gaze, Ye Zhen had already roughly guessed the purpose of Prime Minister Xuy Shi wanting to meet him, "Bring him up."

Soon thereafter, Prime Minister Xuy Shi of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, shackled by special restraints of the Heavenly Patrol Department, was brought up, but his expression was extremely calm.

"Release the restraints on Prime Minister Xuy Shi."

Prime Minister Xuy Shi rubbed his wrist, which had been bruised, and slowly bowed to Ye Zhen, "I believe Commander Ye already understands that the previous offensive actions by our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom were entirely due to the intervention of Prince Huan’s Mansion.

If you trust this old husband, you might as well let this old husband return to meet my lord, at which time there will certainly be a satisfactory explanation for Commander Ye."

"A satisfactory explanation for me?"

Ye Zhen coldly stared at Prime Minister Xuy Shi for a long time and suddenly smiled, "Very well, then I will let the Prime Minister return. I hope the Prime Minister can indeed provide a satisfactory explanation for me."

Without a word, Prime Minister Xuy Shi bowed deeply towards Ye Zhen and then departed.

"Pass the order down, tell Liuu Feng to stop. It’s already more or less enough," Ye Zhen said.

Almost simultaneously, Marquisate Ruler Guo Zhang of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom was anxiously pacing back and forth. While Chief Steward Mao had been full of confidence when he left.

However, the sudden day-and-night ordeal and upheaval suddenly made Ruler Guo Zhang realize the warning words previously advised by the Prime Minister.

When Prince Huan’s Mansion and the Heavenly Patrol Department tear apart the veil and contend for the interests of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, regardless of where these interests end up, their Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom is sure to suffer losses.

Because Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom would become the battleground for these two factions.

Just like today, his Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom’s high-ranking officials being captured.

Moreover, this is merely the beginning.

At once, Marquisate Ruler Guo Zhang deeply regretted his previous actions.

"Report to the Monarch, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"The Prime Minister has arrived?" Marquisate Ruler Guo Zhang was overjoyed and hurried forward, "Has the Prime Minister been rescued by Chief Steward Mao?"

"Monarch, Chief Steward Mao has already been killed on the spot by the forces of the Internal Affairs Punishment Department. This minister discussed with Commander Ye to meet the Monarch and discuss with the Monarch how to resolve misunderstandings and solve the current problem," Prime Minister Xuy Shi said.

"What?"

Marquisate Ruler Guo Zhang was so shocked by Prime Minister Xuy Shi’s words that he sat down heavily on the ground.
