Mo Danxin, the current governor of Dayan County.

He is a fair man, handling affairs without bias, and people have given him the nickname Mo Qingtian.

He remains unmoved in the face of local forces’ attempts to curry favor and bribe him, and he sternly refuses.

He treats ordinary people and those who cultivate immortality equally, without giving special treatment to the latter.

Moreover, he is the person with the highest cultivation level in Dayan County, at the mid-stage of Divine Transformation. With the blessing of the nation’s fortune, no one can threaten his safety.

He also vigorously develops the tourism industry, promoting the unique food culture of Dayan County, attracting more and more people to spend in Dayan County, and promoting local economic development.

Under his governance, Dayan County is thriving.

However, he recently encountered two unexpected events that he felt were beyond his capabilities.

The first was the imperial court stationing troops in the abandoned mountains, reportedly due to the discovery of a demon cult’s base. It was unclear whether it was related to the destroyed Immortal Sect or the other three demon cults.

The commander of the army was General Lu, who was at the Body Fusion stage and highly respected in the army. With this old general stationed, he, a mere governor, no longer needed to worry.

The second was that a heavyweight figure was locked up in the prison, second only to His Majesty in status. He was the head of the Seek Tao Sect, one of the five major immortal sects, the strongest under the Tribulation Crossing stage, the strongest swordsman of the time, and the widely hated Bu Yu Taoist.

Fortunately, this big shot was obedient, saying that he would be locked up in the prison without any resistance.

If he were to resist, Mo Danxin really couldn’t keep Bu Yu Taoist locked up.

From a legal theory perspective, he has jurisdiction, and Bu Yu Taoist’s matter is not a big deal, a few days in jail would suffice.

But Mo Danxin always felt that Bu Yu Taoist’s status was too high, and he should report the handling of Bu Yu Taoist’s matter to the imperial court.

Moreover, Mo Danxin faced another problem – Bu Yu Taoist was locked up, but he was telling stories in the prison, attracting many people who came for his fame.

For example, stealing a few taels of silver, according to the law, should be locked up in prison for five days.

Family members bring food, the prison is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a Body Fusion stage powerhouse telling stories next door, these five days are extremely comfortable.

It’s unknown who spread this experience, many people followed suit, and now the prison is overcrowded with criminals.

Those who didn’t know would think that Dayan County was a place of extreme evil, with the prison overcrowded.

If this becomes a rumor and reaches His Majesty’s ears, all his achievements would be tarnished, and he wouldn’t be able to explain.

Who would believe that your prison is overcrowded just to listen to stories?

Fortunately, after the imperial court learned of this matter, they attached great importance to it, and the Minister of Justice personally flew to Dayan County to handle the case of Bu Yu Taoist.

“Sir, the Minister of Justice is almost here.” A subordinate reminded him in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Mo Danxin quickly took off his casual clothes, put on his official uniform, and went out to greet him.

As Mo Danxin stepped out, the Minister of Justice, Xu Xin, descended from the sky. He didn’t even bring any attendants, showing how urgent his trip was.

Minister of Justice Xu Xin was tall and mighty, with a distinct facial features. His brocade clothes highlighted his noble status. He had a profound understanding of the law and was deeply trusted by Emperor Xia.

“Minister Xu, about this matter of the Sect Master of Seek Tao Sect…”

Minister of Justice waved his hand: “I know all about it, I agree to sentence Bu Yu, the old thief, to death!”

“Ah? But the Sect Master of Seek Tao Sect is…”

“Death penalty!” The Minister of Justice said decisively.

Seeing the Minister of Justice’s attitude, Mo Danxin remembered a rumor – it was said that any stone thrown at an official in the imperial city would hit an enemy of Bu Yu Taoist.

There was even a poem: Who in the world does not know you.

It was about Bu Yu Taoist.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go see Bu Yu, the old thief!” The Minister of Justice dragged Mo Danxin towards the prison.

He heard that Bu Yu Taoist was locked up in Dayan County, and he even cancelled a dinner with his colleagues and rushed over to watch the excitement.

The prison was bustling with noise, as if a vicious criminal was causing trouble inside.

If you listen carefully, you’ll find that someone in the prison is telling a story.

“One day, I and Qin Jiunian, the elder of the Seek Tao Sect, were traveling through the Central Continent. We used the Heavenly Eye and found a tomb with a strong aura of death. I calculated that a Zombie King must have been born!”

“Originally, we wanted to go back to the sect and find reinforcements to surround the Zombie King, but the Zombie King discovered us and wanted to escape underground!”

“Speaking of which, I was the first to take action, using the Flying Immortal from the Sky to break through the heavy seals and thick soil of the tomb, blocking the Zombie King’s retreat. Seeing this, the Zombie King led a vast army of zombies to attack me and Qin Jiunian!”

“Who are Qin Jiunian and I? The Sect Master and the Elder of the Seek Tao Sect, does a mere Zombie King think he can defeat us?”

“The Zombie King revealed his true form of drought, causing the earth to dry up for thousands of miles, connecting with the earth’s fire, turning the sky and the earth into a sea of fire!”

“I moved the wind and clouds with a single sword, causing the world to darken. Qin Jiunian displayed the Law of Heaven and Earth, with one finger as thick as a mountain.”

The prisoners in the jail were staring at Bu Yu Taoist without blinking, holding their breath, afraid of disturbing Bu Yu Taoist.

Bu Yu Taoist spoke with ups and downs, recreating the non-existent events in front of everyone. Everyone felt as if they were on the scene, as if they were watching the battle from the sidelines.

The Minister of Justice had a strange expression. If he remembered correctly, Bu Yu, the old thief, and Elder Qin had gone to build a tomb that time, accidentally dug into a real tomb, and were mistaken for tomb robbers.

Where was the Zombie King and the drought?

After not seeing him for a few years, Bu Yu, the old thief’s ability to make up stories has increased day by day!

The Minister of Justice thought of the many times he had been tricked by Bu Yu Taoist in the past, and gritted his teeth.

Finally, you’re in my hands!

“Bu Yu, the old thief, you’re living quite comfortably!” The Minister of Justice looked at Bu Yu Taoist with a smile.

Everyone in the prison looked at the Minister of Justice together, their eyes filled with anger, feeling that this man was very rude, disturbing their story listening.

Then they saw Xu Xin’s luxurious clothes and Governor Mo following behind him, and they knew that Xu Xin was a high-ranking official.

As for how high, they didn’t know.Bu Yu Taoist saw Xu Xin and laughed heartily, “Let me introduce everyone, this is Mr. Xu Xin, the current Minister of the Penal Department!”

“Bu Yu, you old thief, I advise you to show me some respect. Whether it’s ten days or ten years, it’s all up to me!”

Mo Danxin quietly reminded him from behind, “Mr. Xu, it should depend on what the penal code stipulates.”

Mr. Xu turned back and glared at Mo Danxin, scaring him into lowering his head.

Mr. Xu then turned his gaze back to Bu Yu Taoist, resuming his smiling demeanor.

Bu Yu Taoist, with his immortal demeanor, remained unphased even in prison, “What do you want from me? Shall we go outside and have a real fight? If I win, you let me go? If I lose, you can imprison me for as long as you want?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xin slammed the table, “Fine, it’s a deal!”

Even though he had been defeated by Bu Yu Taoist during the Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, and Divine Transformation stages.

But now he was the dignified Minister of the Penal Department, having suppressed countless vicious criminals. In terms of cultivation and actual combat, he was not afraid of Bu Yu Taoist!

Mr. Xu yanked open the prison cell’s chains and opened the door, “Come out!”

Bu Yu Taoist gave a faint smile and said to Mo Danxin, “Mr. Mo, you saw it all, right? I wanted to escape from prison, and Mr. Xu agreed to my escape plan. He even personally opened the prison door for me. I’m the principal offender, and he’s the accomplice. You should lock him up too.”

Upon seeing this, Mo Danxin pondered for two seconds, took a step forward, and gestured invitingly.

“The Sect Leader of Seek Tao Sect makes a good point. Mr. Xu, you have openly broken the law in front of me, please.”

Xu Xin: “……”

Bu Yu, you old thief, even when you’re in prison, you still manage to screw me over!
