The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Several investigators then held a remote meeting.

"What's wrong with Chief Wan? He used to have a wide range of interests, but they never interfered with his work."

Why isn't Chief Wan making a move this time?

"After arriving in Huiye City from Beijing, he stayed in the large hotel that Shi Qian, that old sycophant, had prepared for him, and didn't come out. It was hard to figure out what he was thinking."

"Does Commander Wan look down on the Mirror Bandits, thinking they're not worth his time?"

"The Mirror Bandits are indeed not very strong; they are all level 40-something second-tier professionals. However, their professional talents are extremely strong, and they also have mirror abilities. Taken together, they are actually very difficult to deal with!"

"It's easy not to want to be hurt by them, but it's really too difficult to catch or wipe them out. There are always some unexpected spots that they take advantage of."

The investigators were utterly baffled.

They couldn't understand what Wan Jianyi was doing.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to complete his own mission first and head to Xichuan City to intercept the mirror bandits.

Their interception failed.

Because the mirror image bandits arrived in Xichuan City first.

Although the top ten investigators, as third-tier professionals, all have mounts of decent quality, they are still not as fast as Mirror Shuttle.

"Xichuan City!! Your emperor has returned!!"

"That's a slogan shouted by bandits, we need to use a different one!"

"The end is nigh for Nishikawa City!"

"That belongs to Seventh Master!"

"Xichuan City, I've chosen you!"

"Forget emotions, forget principles, forget history; play with heaven, play with earth, play with all living beings! Xichuan City, let's have some fun!"

Between the skyscrapers of Xichuan City, the mirrored bandits leaped and bounded on the glass curtain walls of the buildings, like a group of Spider-Men in suits entering the city.

Citizens stopped and looked up, watching the bloody mahjong faces wearing copper coin masks darting around in the sky.

"Is this the 'Sitting in Oblivion' Dao that's been going viral online lately??"

"Up close, their faces are really eerie!"

"I mean, those tattered copper coin masks can't hide their weird faces, so there's no need to wear them, right?"

"Don't you understand? That's called having your own logo!"

"It's over! The Daoist sect has come to Xichuan City! Our place is going to be just like Huiye City and Beichuan City, a complete mess!"

"Should I get out of the car and kowtow three times in front of my rearview mirror first?"

"And there's the windshield, rear window, rearview mirror, in-car screen, four windows..."

"Maybe I should just gouge out my own eyes."

Upon seeing online that Zuowangdao had entered Xichuan City, all the food streets and restaurants were on high alert, with everyone packing up and going home, fearing they would be robbed.

What was even more frightened was the Xichuan City Special Bureau, which immediately went into high alert.

The first step was for everyone to leave the Special Affairs Bureau building.

The Special Bureau of Xichuan City is much larger and more magnificent than small cities like Beichuan and Huiye. If it were to collapse, even highly skilled professionals might not be able to crawl out of the ruins.

What was unexpected was...

After entering Xichuan City, the Mirror Bandits surprisingly did not go to the Special Affairs Bureau after robbing the food street.

This unexpected turn of events made the Shi family even more frightened.

"Clan leader! Clan leader! The Daoist sect has entered the city!!"

The Shi family immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Clan Chief Shi Jian emphasized this point before the meeting.

"Please do not put your phone on silent or vibrate mode. Keep the phone accessible. All senior family members can make and receive calls at any time."

Having learned a painful lesson from the previous robbery of the warehouse by bandits, Shi Jian has thoroughly reflected on his experience and revised all the family's meeting rules.

"You should have seen the official announcement. The group of monsters who came out of Glory City and called themselves the Daoist of Forgetfulness were actually mirror images created by the Dark Star forces. They all had mirror-related abilities and were very difficult to deal with."

This group of lunatics traveled south from Glory City to Xichuan City.

They kept shouting and challenging our Shi family along the way.

Now that they've really arrived, how should the family deal with this? Does anyone have any ideas?

Grand Elder Shi Ding remained steadfast in his advocacy for war.

"While the Shi family's professional fighters may not be the strongest in Xichuan City, they are still top-tier! Those mere Daoists of the Forgotten Realm are only good at running away and deceiving people; in a true head-on battle, would the Shi family fear them?"

The Shi family's senior members who supported the Grand Elder echoed his sentiments.

"These mirror-image people from the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion are only troublesome because of their mirror-like abilities. As long as we seal off all the mirrors, if they dare to come, they'll have no choice but to fight us head-on!"

"Those are just a bunch of level 40+ professionals; my Shi family could easily take them down in a head-on fight!"

"I heard the Special Affairs Bureau is offering a high bounty for the heads of Mirror People. Maybe we can make some extra money!"

Second Elder Shi Tian snorted coldly.

"Elder, last time the bandits captured Shi Yang, you also called him a 'little bandit,' and what happened?"

First, our warehouse was robbed, and not long ago, bandits, under the pretext of challenging our garrison rights, killed thousands of our people!

Now you're talking about "the minor path of meditation," I'm afraid you'll bring more trouble to the Shi family!

The Shi family's senior members who supported the Second Elder's faction echoed his sentiments.

"I heard that Wan Jianyi and his ten investigators have been tracking down several Daoist practitioners, but they haven't managed to wipe them out. Our Shi family being targeted by them is definitely in grave danger!"

"With a formidable enemy at hand, we should still advocate for peace! Let's see what the Daoist School of Sitting in Oblivion truly wants, and try our best to satisfy them. Let's avoid war and unnecessary casualties!"

"What sins has our Shi family committed? We just made a blood feud with bandits, and now we've been targeted by these Daoist practitioners!"

The Shi family became even more depressed at the thought that the Mirror Man was a Dark Star force, created based on the mirror images of the bandits.

Inside and out, it's actually the bandits who are messing with them.

Just as the pro-war and pro-peace factions were arguing incessantly, someone's phone rang.

"Excuse me, it's mine."

Shi Jian took out his phone and answered the call.

"What? Shi Qian has been kidnapped? Who did it?? Nobody knows??"

There was a commotion in the arena.

"Isn't Shi Qian the mayor of Huiye City? And with Wan Jianyi also in charge, who dares to touch the mayor?"

"This must have been done by bandits!"

"The bandits shouldn't dare to directly target the government, right? The Federation is keeping an eye on them!"

Before everyone could reach a conclusion, Shi Jian's phone rang again.

"Has he disappeared after a long time?"

"Ring ring..."

"Shi Menglu fell into the sewer and disappeared?"

"Ring ring..."

"Shi Beifeng was blown away by a gust of cold wind? What the hell??"

"Ring ring..."

"Don't say anything yet, let me guess. Could it be that one of our Shi family officials has disappeared for some inexplicable reason? (Waiting for a reply) I knew it!"

Seeing his phone constantly ringing, Shi Jian smashed it on the ground, breaking it to pieces.

"I'm not listening anymore, there's not a single good news."

The people mentioned in the phone calls Shi Jian just received were all officials of the Shi family holding positions of G5 or higher in Xichuan and surrounding cities.

Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Bureau Chief, Minister...

They're all high-ranking officials!

But now, it seems they've all been caught in one fell swoop!

"Who did this?!"
