Chapter 295 Suppressing Bandits
"I can understand the relaxed atmosphere in small cities, but excessive relaxation is just laziness and inaction!"

Qian Gu Chang Kong got more and more into his rant, "If you still can't adjust your mindset, I think none of you need to work for the Spirit Hall. Get out of here!"

The Martial Soul has a strict hierarchy system, and subordinates are absolutely not allowed to overthrow their superiors.

The deputy temple master was scolded like a grandson, but he only dared to lower his head and accept the scolding without daring to utter a word in retort.

Chen Ping couldn't help but remind him, "Chang Kong, don't forget the important matter."

Qian Gu Chang Kong slumped in his chair and roared, "If your hall master is not seen within half an hour, all the high-ranking officials of the Martial Soul Hall in Wangbei City will be stripped of their titles and privileges."

The deputy hall master's face stiffened, and he repeatedly said, "Elder, don't worry, I will go find the person myself."

Upon receiving a positive reply, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He immediately ran out of the office and called on everyone in the office area to go and search for the person together.

Outside the hall, a steward couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, who is that young man? How dare he boss you around like that?"

The deputy hall master quickly covered his mouth: "Are you out of your mind?"

"That person is a descendant of the deity, and a key member of the champion team in the Soul Master Competition!"

“He’s come to our Wangbei City, he must have a mission to carry out. If we serve him well, he might get promoted in the future. If we offend him, we’ll all be stripped of our robes.”

……

The master of the Spirit Hall in Wangbei City is not a local, but a young man who graduated from the Spirit Hall Academy and was sent here.

Although his subordinates were incompetent, the temple master, as an ambitious young man, did accomplish quite a few practical things.

At this moment, he is investigating the situation of the bandits in the nearby mountains, planning to join forces with the city lord's mansion to suppress them!

He was running around everywhere, which made things difficult for the group of deacons who came out to search for him.

The deacons had never gone out with him and did not know where he would linger.

With the allotted time about to expire, the group of deacons sat listlessly by the roadside.

They knew that upon returning, they would be met with the wrath of the heavens and earth and be expelled from the Spirit Hall's ranks.

For a moment, they sat together and discussed their next move.

Being expelled from the Spirit Hall is a very serious offense.

In the future, they will have virtually no trouble finding work in Wangbei City.

Just then, a ray of dawn appeared in the distance.

The deacons rubbed their eyes and rushed forward, "Lord of the Palace, we've finally found you."

Hall Master Watt looked at this scene in surprise: "Why did you all come out? Has the Spirit Hall been attacked?"

Hearing the explanation from the group of deacons, Watt dared not linger any longer and quickly ran back to the Spirit Hall.

As Qian Gu Chang Kong sat in the Palace Master's office, his face gradually darkened as the time was about to run out and there was still no sign of the Palace Master.

"Damn it, what can these insects possibly do!"

He stormed out of the office, intending to go to the nearby Spirit Hall to transfer people and take over the Spirit Hall!

Just as I got downstairs, I saw a young man running up to me, panting heavily.

Chen Ping was slightly surprised and quickly asked, "Are you Senior Wa?"

Watt recognized the person and greeted him, "Junior Chen Ping, it's you."

Remembering the furious elder upstairs, Watt sighed, "We'll talk about it later. If I don't go up now, I'm afraid I'll be out of a job."

Hearing his words, Qian Gu Chang Kong shook his head, "No need to go up."

Watt was shocked. "It's over. I've completely offended the elder. I'm afraid I can't be the temple master anymore."

Chen Ping smiled, patted his shoulder lightly, and introduced him, "Senior Wa, you've got it wrong. This Qian Gu Chang Kong is the elder you mentioned."

"We just couldn't stand those lazy butlers, so we were just giving them a warning." "By the way, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"

Upon learning Qian Gu Chang Kong's identity, Watt immediately bowed respectfully, "Elder, let's talk upstairs. This is a long story."

He wasn't slacking off; he actually got things done.

The deputy hall master and many deacons who caught up from behind breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two sides walking into the hall chatting and laughing.

"The Hall Master is a genius trained by the Spirit Hall Academy. He was probably a classmate of the Elder. We're finally saved."

Having connections in the court makes even the smallest matters easier to handle.

However, knowing that the Palace Master has such a background, they dare not go against him again in the future.

……

The Temple Master's Office.

This time, the door was still open, but what came out was a harmonious sound.

"So, you've already figured out the situation of the bandits in the nearby mountains?" Qian Gu Chang Kong asked.

Watt sighed, “Yes. But suppressing bandits is not something that can be done overnight. If we only target one or two of them, it will inevitably attract the attention of other mountain strongholds, and the situation will become even more chaotic.”

"Therefore, since we have decided to suppress the bandits, we must wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, I have submitted petitions many times, but have not received any response from the Papal Palace."

There's no way there will be a response.

During the mission between Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping, how could they possibly send out a large force to suppress bandits, thus causing the mission to be completed passively?

Clearing his throat, Qian Gu Chang Kong continued, "We've come to find you about the matter of suppressing bandits."

"But have you considered the possibility that if we cooperate with the city lord's army, there might be instances of killing innocent people and claiming credit for them?"

There's a reason why the more bandits are suppressed, the more bandits there seem to be.

It should be noted that many incompetent officials try their best to avoid making mistakes during their term of office.

Suppressing bandits sounds easy, but if bandits were so easy to wipe out, there wouldn't be any banditry in the world.

Incompetent officials only care about avoiding trouble during their term of office; as for bandit suppression, they can only rely on the wisdom of future generations.

If we let them take the lead, they will only end up killing law-abiding ordinary people to impersonate bandits.

Listening to his analysis, Watt exclaimed, "Elder, your analysis is so insightful, I truly admire you."

This saying was naturally learned from Wu Qi, and Qian Gu Chang Kong boasted about it for a moment.

“Originally, our goal was only to wipe out Qingfeng Village. Now that you have detailed information on other mountain strongholds, I will immediately mobilize the nearby Spirit Hall personnel to jointly suppress the bandits.”

"To avoid killing innocent people and claiming credit for it, let the city lord's troops guard the city and prevent the bandits from counterattacking."

At this moment, the deputy hall master, who had been listening to the conversation outside the door, walked in.

"Elder, are we really going to suppress the bandits?"

Suppressing bandits is no joke; it means risking your life.

The deacons inside the hall are used to a life of luxury; if they were to fight those vicious bandits to the death, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.

Suddenly, Qian Gu Chang Kong asked, "Are the average strength of the deacons here at the Great Soul Master level?"

The deputy hall master nodded, "They are almost all Great Soul Masters, and there are two Soul Venerables as well."

Watt said, "That's enough. Among the bandits, apart from Qingfeng Village, the strongest in the other mountain strongholds are only Soul Masters or Soul Venerables. On average, the strength of ordinary mountain bandits is less than level ten."

"We're going to take down Qingfeng Village's main force; you can't even handle the others?"
