The Hunted Hunter
Chapters 322. Initiating Investigations
The moment Ma Guang and his four subordinates arrived at the place where the Fire Kilin was located.
They were immediately greeted by two Fire Kilin tails while paying their respects.
Before entering the Fire Pill world, Ma Guang first created a portal near the mouth of the cave in order to quickly move from the Heavenly Dragon sect to the central continent region.
After they finished, they immediately entered the Fire Pill world.
They did not stay there for long.
Ma Guang only listened to the reports about the developments taking place in the central continent.
After they finished, they went back to say goodbye to Shi Tiao.
The five of them headed straight for the portal created by Ma Guang.
The man instantly activated it, and a vortex of wind was like sucking up the five of them.
It didn't take long, the five of them were now already in the Heavenly Dragon sect.
Their presence was immediately welcomed by the disciples as well as the elders who saw them.
When Ma Guang was just about to enter the heavenly god realm, he was immediately greeted by the Great Elder.
"Honor to the sect's protector! The protector! There's something important we need to talk about!." Said the great elder.
"What's important!?." Ask Ma Guang.
"Later the patriarch explained!." Xiang Zhang replied while cupping his hands.
"All right! Let's go to the patriarch Yao Han's residence!." Take Ma Guang.
They also finally darted towards the residence of patriarch Yao Han.
When they arrived in front of the patriarchal residence, they were immediately greeted by the disciples who were on guard.
"Just tell the patriarch that we will meet him!." Xiang Zhang said.
A disciple directly entered the residence and reported about it.
Hearing what the guarding disciple said, patriarch Yao Han immediately rushed out to greet them.
"Protectors! Everyone, come on in! Sorry for making you wait!." Yao Han said as he cupped his hands.
"Patriaks needn't be too shy!." Reply Ma Guang.
They also directly entered the residence of patriarch Yao Han.
Once inside, the patriarch immediately allowed them to sit down.
Ma Guang immediately opened his voice to ask patriarch Yao Han.
"Patriaks! I heard from elder Xiang, saying there is something important the patriarch wants to talk to me about!." Ma Guang said.
"Yes protector! There is something important we want to talk about!." Patriarch.
"What is that?." Ask Ma Guang.
"Looky protector! The situation in the territory of the Zhou empire was currently in a state of chaos, it was due to the policy issued by the imperial party to raise high taxes! So that because the rules of the martial world should not interfere with the policies of the government, so we become a dilemma with requests coming from the people!."
"What about the protector?." Yao Han asked.
"Did the policy really come from the emperor?." Asked Ma Guang who did not directly answer Yao Han's question.
"It seems like it is, because it happened in the entire Zhou empire!." Yao Han replied.
Hearing Yao Han's explanation, Ma Guang immediately thought to understand what was going on.
"When did that happen?." Ask Ma Guang again.
"I guess ever since the protector left this sect!." Answer the patriarch again.
"What is the emperor planning? Why did he charge his people by raising taxes? Is he raising funds to build a force? But for what?." Thought Ma Guang.
"Does he want to start a war with another empire?." Thought Ma Guang again guessed what the emperor was planning.
"If that was the plan, would Yun'er also be involved in it?." Thought Ma Guang who became a dilemma as well with the situation.
The six people who were sitting also together with Ma Guang became curious as to what the man was thinking.
"Patriaks! Let me investigate this first, so that I can decide what we should do!."
"I will also go to meet the emperor and try to question the policy he took!." Ma Guang again.
"All right! Whatever the protective decision is, that's what we're gonna do!." Patriarch Yao Han responded to Ma Guang's words.
"Then, our conversation should not be told to anyone!." Ma Guang.
"Good protector!." Said the patriarch and elder Xiang Zhang.
"All right! For our meeting this time, we'll finish it first! Right now I will go to My residence and also to the heavenly god realm first!." Said Ma Guang who immediately stood up and resigned himself to patriarch Yao Han and also to elder Xiang Zhang.
The five of them then left the residence of patriarch Yao Han.
The four subordinates headed straight for the heavenly god realm.
While Ma Guang immediately darted away to go to his residence.
Ma Guang was immediately greeted by Yuan Jiali and Duan Meng and his two daughters.
They immediately let go of each other's longs before Ma Guang went to the heavenly god world.
Ma Guang did not tell him what the patriarch told him.
Because given their closeness to Zhou Lu Yun, they would definitely convey what he was about to tell.
After some time off longing with both his wife and his two children, Ma Guang finally headed to the world of heavenly gods.
The same thing he did with Xia Jiao and his son, namely letting go of each other.
After that Ma Guang immediately left the heavenly god world as well as the Heavenly Dragon sect.
But this time Ma Guang was only alone to investigate what exactly happened.
His face was instantly changed with the faces of others and he suppressed his cultivation to the level of a king swordsman.
Ma Guang started an investigation in the Zhao kingdom territory.
When he entered a village, looks leftover - the rest of the chaos has just happened.
Seen the villagers are now many who look sad because of the loss of property and their daughters.
Ma Guang also met an old man whose face looked bruised due to a blunt blow.
Ma Guang immediately asked the old man.
"I'm sorry sir! What exactly just happened?." Ma Guang asked curiously.
"Master! We have just been visited by troops from the Zhao kingdom to collect taxes that have been doubled and we cannot afford to pay it! After we couldn't afford it, they forced us to give up our property and our girls!." The old man explained what had just happened.
It's already too late! They have made people suffer.
"Continue, where are they going?." Ask Ma Guang again.
"They're heading towards Huo city!." Answer the old man.
"Thank you for the information!." Reply Ma Guang as he stepped in to catch up with the entourage of the Zhao royal army that the old man was referring to.
After being a little away from the village, Ma Guang immediately flew to catch up with the troop.
Not long after, Ma Guang immediately saw the group he was chasing.
The man directly landed and re-pressured his cultivation.
He immediately walked over and called out to a soldier whose position was at the very back.
The soldier immediately turned around and looked at Ma Guang and asked.
"Who are you? What do you want?." Said the soldier.
Hearing the voice of the soldier's scream, the other soldiers immediately stared back.
An army commander directly walked to the back to check on the matter.
"Are you Zhao's royal army or robbers?." Ma Guang said as he approached them.
