As the governor of Qingzhou, Liao Yuan naturally recognized that the Flowing Clouds and Crane Seal was the first-level summons from the Imperial Observatory.

Once this seal is issued, all members of the Imperial Observatory within a radius of 100 miles must drop all tasks and rush here.

Liao Yuan could already clearly feel that several powerful auras were rapidly approaching this place from the direction of the city, and there were even a large number of practitioners in the Essence Refining Realm.

The Imperial Observatory is the only department in charge of spiritual energy and tidal affairs in Daxia today. Its authority and power far exceed those of the provincial government. However, except for the envoy, no one knows how many powerful people there are in the Imperial Observatory.

And today, Liao Yuan finally got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Imperial Observatory's power.

Before Liao Yuan could even react to what was happening, Liu Yuansong grabbed his sleeve and asked:

"Where did the Liu family take He Yao?"

Liu Yi and others did not take He Yao to prison, but went directly to the largest building in the military region.

As we stepped into the hall, we saw a middle-aged man with a dignified look who had been waiting there for a long time. Beside him, Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, was reporting something respectfully.

Seeing everyone coming in, the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop Liu Yu from speaking, and asked Liu Yi:

"He is He Yao?"

"My Lord, he is the one who spread rumors about my Liu family and Lord Fubo Long."

"Don't use such rhetoric in front of me. I know the deal between my family and Lord Fubo better than you do."

The head of the Liu family walked up to He Yao, looked at the embarrassed He Yao and said:

"I asked them to bring you here just to ask a question. Was my son Liu Yao really killed by Fubo Dragon Lord because of fighting for the Tiansheng Spirit Pool?"

He Yao raised his swollen face and looked at the head of the Liu family with a look full of sarcasm:

"Your son is looking for death by trying to steal Lord Fubo's things without knowing his own limitations. You, an old man, can't kill Lord Fubo so you want to take it out on me?"

"Slap." The head of the Liu family said in a flat voice. Upon hearing this, Liu Yi slapped He Yao in the face again. The crisp sound of broken bones rang out in the room.

“My son Liu Yao is very clear about Fubo Dragon Lord’s strength, and even if he really has a way to control the Natural Spirit Pool, he will never rashly seize it.

There must be someone behind this incident.”

“I have sent people to check the scene of the Dragon King Banquet and confirmed the information with others. The cultivator surnamed Shen who was traveling with you has also demonstrated the ability to control the Natural Spirit Pool.

He was the one who actually seized the Natural Spirit Pool. My son just suffered an unprovoked disaster!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the head of the Liu family.

“That person was able to kill Fubo Longjun, so he must be extremely powerful.

But once I find out his identity, I will let him know that in this modern society, cultivation cannot determine everything!"

The voice of the Liu family's patriarch gradually became extremely cold.

"Every sip of water he drinks may contain poison. Every bite of food he eats may contain poisonous insects that secretly corrode his magic power.

Once he leaves the city, he will encounter a wide range of firepower coverage. Once he enters the city, the overwhelming assassinations and wanted orders will make him exhausted.

Even if he can still protect himself in this situation, how can he protect his family and friends?"

"Tell me all the information about him, and I can make your death more pleasant."

He Yao felt a chill down his spine and struggled to yell at the head of the Liu family:

"You can't get any information from me."

The head of the Liu family stared at He Yao, and his eyes had already landed on He Yao's head.

At this moment, a foot kicked open the closed door, and then Liu Yuansong, the commander of the Imperial Observatory, and Liao Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou, strode into the living room.

"The Imperial Observatory is investigating the case. Everyone except the Liu family, get out!"

When the head of the Liu family saw Liu Yuansong, his expression finally changed. He stopped what he was doing and said:

"Has my Liu family done anything to offend Liu Lingshi?

If there is any misunderstanding, I will send someone to visit and apologize to Envoy Liu on a chosen day."

"Don't try to get close to me!" Liu Yuansong looked indifferent and acted in a businesslike manner.

"The Liu family rashly captured He Yao. He is an important figure in my Imperial Observatory. I need a reasonable explanation."

The head of the Liu family looked grim: "Explanation? He Yao teamed up with that Shen to murder my son. What explanation do I have to give?"

Liu Songyuan waved his hand and said in a bad tone:

"So you have evidence to prove that it was He Yao who murdered your son?"

The head of the Liu family glanced at the several powerful men from the Imperial Observatory behind Liu Yuansong, and realized that Liu Yuansong had come with ill intentions.

Not to mention that he has no evidence, even if Liu Songyuan was there, he could distort the facts and deny it.

The Liu family's patriarch's breathing became a little rapid, and he said in a low voice:

"Envoy Liu, my Liu family has a close relationship with the Left Prime Minister. My son Liu Yao has even been engaged to the second daughter of the Left Prime Minister. I'm afraid the Left Prime Minister will also inquire about this matter!"

"Left Prime Minister? What does this have to do with my Imperial Observatory?"

However, Liu Lingshi just sneered, walked forward with a swagger, and untied the ropes that bound He Yao.

"Are you okay?"

Liu Lingshi's voice was kind, which immediately made He Yao feel flattered.

He was a little confused as to why such a big shot as Liu Lingshi would save him. Even Liao Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou, had to give in to the Liu family. The head of the Liu family had a gloomy face, but he could only watch Liu Lingshi and dared not make any move.

The reason he could threaten Liao Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou, was entirely because the Liu family had more say than the governor of Qingzhou. Without the Liu family's nod, the governor's orders could not even be transmitted out of the provincial capital.

However, as the Imperial Observatory was an organization solely controlled by Emperor Xia, it was not supervised by anyone. In this case, there was naturally no need to worry about the influence and connections of the Liu family.

"Since the person has been rescued, please forgive me for not seeing him off."

The head of the Liu family said in a cold voice.

However, Envoy Liu had no intention of leaving. Instead, he changed the subject and said:

“I heard that during this rain disaster, the governor, Lord Liu Yuliu, did not lead the rescue of refugees at the first time, but instead led the provincial military district to guard the mines.

What crime should be committed for such dereliction of duty?"

The head of the Liu family said angrily:

"Liu Yuansong, don't go too far! I'm doing this for the sake of the Imperial Observatory behind you. Don't think that my Liu family is afraid of you!"

Liu Yuansong spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Don't worry, Patriarch Liu. As it involves the rain disaster, I, the Imperial Observatory, have the right to inspect Qingzhou. It's just an official matter."

The head of the Liu family realized that Liu Yuansong was already prepared for a fallout when he came to his house, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to bite off a few pieces of meat from the Liu family.

Liu Yu's previous actions had been caught by the Imperial Observatory, and Liu Yuansong wanted to take this opportunity to seize the position of governor and weaken the influence of the Liu family.

Liu Yu was already panicking at this moment. He didn't know why he had suddenly become a victim of the struggle between the Imperial Observatory and the Liu family.

He could only look at the head of the Liu family in fear and whispered, "Master."

"If you neglect your duties, the most you will lose is your position. I will do my best to protect you."

The head of the Liu family spoke in a cold voice. He had already made a decision and did not want to be involved too much in this matter.

Liu Yuansong nodded with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said:

"Liu, please come in!"

Several powerful men from the Imperial Observatory detained Liu Yu. The governor looked just as embarrassed as He Yao had been when he had just entered the room.

Surrounded by everyone from the Imperial Observatory, Liu Yuansong was about to take He Yao away, but at this moment He Yao, with scars all over his face, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Qin Tianjian, may I trouble you with a favor?"

"But you can say it."

He Yao said earnestly, "The Liu family wants to use despicable means to find out the identity of one of my fellow Taoists, and then use the power of the Liu family to plot against him.

I wonder if the Imperial Observatory can help and make the Liu family give up pursuing this matter?"

Liu Yuansong's expression suddenly changed, and before he could open his mouth to ask, a voice sounded before him.

"Does this fellow Taoist you are talking about have a yellow and white tiger demon that can control the wind?"

A middle-aged man wearing a moon-white gown, with an elegant temperament and handsome face, suddenly appeared in the hall. It seemed that he had been standing here for a long time, but no one noticed his presence.

It was not until he opened his mouth that everyone became aware of his presence.

He Yao's face lit up and he said, "Yes, yes, yes! You actually know that he has a tiger monster. Do you know him?"

The handsome middle-aged man had an indescribable strange expression on his face, and said in a self-deprecating tone:

"Know? I may not be qualified yet."

At this moment, Liu Yuansong finally came to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Disciple greets the Supervisor Teacher!"

Other members of the Imperial Observatory also saluted the director.

"Meet the Supervisor!"

The Imperial Observatory glanced at Liu Yuansong expressionlessly, and then looked at the already pale-faced head of the Liu family.

"What on earth did my Liu family do wrong that deserves the personal visit of the Supervisor?"

The director of the Imperial Observatory looked indifferent:

“His Majesty allows your Liu family to exist, not because of your Liu family’s power and influence, but because he wants the stability that the Liu family brings.

But there are some people that you cannot touch, and there are some words that you should not even think about.

Fortunately, it is still too early. If you had done something, even if you sacrificed the entire Qingzhou, you might not be able to recover. "

The Imperial Observatory was turning around and leaving, leaving only plain words echoing in the hall.

"The Liu family? Kill them!"

"It's time for everyone in Qingzhou to change their voice."
