God of Pets

Chapter 280 Plum Blossom Pagoda

Only six people from the Supervision Department came: five inspectors and one inspector, Mei Qingta.

Although Ji Nanhong was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to gather the people on the list and send them to Meiqing Tower.

She had some doubts in her heart, wondering what Chen Guan was planning. Unfortunately, the two of them didn't have a chance to talk privately. But she believed that Chen Guan wasn't the kind of person who acted impulsively. He must have had some ideas before he did this.

Ji Nanhong could only watch and wait, handing over the manpower to Mei Qingta.

Mei Qingta was somewhat surprised by the collaboration between Ji Nanhong and Chen Guan, but it was also within expectations.

Ji Nan Hong's own strength and prestige are not enough to convince the public. If she wants to control the Heavenly Army, she must obtain the support of the Chief of the Court. Otherwise, it is impossible for her to inherit the position of Commander Ji.

Under such circumstances, she could not possibly disobey orders.

Mei Qingta was quite satisfied, and then immediately prepared to set off for the Valley of Beasts.

He left two inspectors outside to guard the entrance, and then entered the Valley of Beasts with the other three inspectors, Chen Guan, Bai Yueguang, Zhu Hongzhi, and Jiang Tianqing.

Strangely, Duan Shulin's name was not on this list.

Duan Shulin also entered the Valley of Beasts, but he was the only one missing from the list. Everyone else who had entered the Valley of Beasts was on the list.

Chen Guan had some doubts about this. In terms of background, Jiang Tianqing came from the Jiang family, one of the ten great families, which was better than Duan Shulin's.

If he's on the list, why isn't Duan Shulin?

Clearly, everyone else had noticed the problem as well. Jiang Tianqing walked beside Chen Guan and whispered, "Why haven't we seen Duan Shulin?"

Chen Guan shook his head slightly; he didn't know why Duan Shulin wasn't on the list.

Although Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi didn't say anything, their eyes said it all.

They all clearly suspected that Duan Shulin was the one who leaked the information; otherwise, why was he the only one who wasn't transferred to the supervisory department?

Mei Qingta led the group into the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, where they once again saw the stone lingzhi mushrooms scattered everywhere. The inspectors' eyes lit up immediately.

Even though they were already cultivators at the third level of enlightenment and held positions in powerful departments like the Inspection Department, they rarely had the opportunity to see so many wild Ganoderma lucidum of such high quality.

Most of the elixirs available today are actually made from rare and precious materials cultivated by humans in secret realms.

Otherwise, if it were to supply hundreds of billions of people, how could there be a stable supply of elixirs relying solely on wild sources?

At Mei Qingta's signal, an inspector summoned a pet and carefully went over to pick the stone lingzhi from the edge.

Clearly, they knew that these Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms could cause pets to appear dead, otherwise they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to experiment with them.

As before, the inspector's pet collapsed after the stone lingzhi was removed, its body stiffening and entering a state of suspended animation.

Mei Qingta didn't show any particular expression, but simply said to Zhu Hongzhi, "Find two people to scout ahead."

"Go scout ahead yourself," Zhu Hongzhi said coldly. As a soldier, his brothers had already sacrificed enough, shedding blood and sweat on the battlefield.

Now they're even being sent as cannon fodder to scout ahead! Zhu Hongzhi was filled with rage.

"Battalion Commander Zhu, you are a soldier, you should know the consequences of disobeying military orders, right?" Mei Qingta said calmly.

“Of course, I will obey military orders, and only military orders. You are not my superior, nor are you a soldier, and you do not have any military orders in your possession. Why should I listen to you?” Zhu Hongzhi said unhurriedly.

“First, you were assigned to work with me, so I am now your superior. Second, although the Inspection Department is independent of the military region, it is still a department of the military system. I have the rank of commander, and I am also a soldier, and my rank is higher than yours. Third, I am on a mission, and I have a military order personally signed by the presiding judge, so I have a military order on my shoulders.”

Mei Qingta looked at Zhu Hongzhi and said calmly, "If these are not enough reasons for you to obey me, then I can persuade you in another way."

"What method?" Zhu Hongzhi asked, frowning.

He couldn't argue with Mei Qingta anymore and couldn't find any rebuttal, so he could only go along with what Mei Qingta was saying.

“Use your strength.” Mei Qingta said, unbuttoning her clothes, taking off her uniform and hat, folding the uniform neatly, placing the hat on top of the uniform, and then handing it to the inspector next to her, revealing the white shirt she was wearing underneath.

“Very well, I like people who let their abilities speak for themselves. If your abilities can’t convince me, can our people leave now?” Zhu Hongzhi asked with a sneer.

"Yes, you can leave right now, and I guarantee you won't be punished in any way." Mei Qingta's white shirt was spotless, with all the buttons fastened neatly, even to the point of looking a little stiff.

However, he has a good appearance and figure. His current outfit makes him look both refined and capable, giving off a kind of refined scoundrel vibe.

Zhu Hongzhi stopped wasting words, also took off his armor and threw it on the ground, revealing his strong physique, and walked step by step towards Meiqing Tower.

The two were about the same height, both around 1.8 to 1.9 meters, but because Mei Qingta was more slender and Zhu Hongzhi was more robust, Zhu Hongzhi appeared to have a stronger presence.

Although Zhu Hongzhi's background was not noble, he came from a family of soldiers in the Heavenly Court Army for generations. With his own hard work, he was able to get to where he is today.

Everything he has is earned through his own abilities and hard work. He has experienced life and death on the battlefield, and the spirit he has forged in those moments is unmatched by ordinary people.

He walked towards Meiqing Pagoda seemingly casually, yet he exuded a tremendous sense of oppression, as if death were approaching.

boom!
When Zhu Hongzhi moved, he was like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, arriving in front of Mei Qingta in an instant with a terrifying sonic boom. His entire body shone with a strange metallic luster, making his skin look as if it were plated with gold.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and it's even reached level 31, a secret technique level that transcends its own rank.

Zhu Hongzhi's survival as one of the Black Tiger Gang members was no accident; he possessed formidable abilities, particularly in protective techniques, where he had exceptional skill.

With the blessing of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill at level 31, Zhu Hongzhi's fist was harder than steel. Even without using other lethal secret techniques, the destructive power of this punch was already astonishing.

Mei Qingta watched as Zhu Hongzhi's golden fist came hurtling towards her, her steps still light, adopting a somewhat strange posture, and then her right hand suddenly shot out quickly.

Because of the speed, most people only saw a blur before their eyes and did not see how Mei Qingta made his move or how he withdrew his hand, as if he had never made a move at all.

Then Mei Qingta stood there motionless, while Zhu Hongzhi's fist continued to swing forward. But even though Mei Qingta was standing there without moving, Zhu Hongzhi's fist still slammed past Mei Qingta's body and hit nothing but air.
