The two who arrived were both within Shen Zhui's expectations and beyond them.
The reason for saying so, was because ... among them was Xia Hong!
When Shen Zhui saw Xia Hong appear here, he understood that the assassination must be related to Xia Hong in some way or another.
With the previous conversation in mind, even Inspector General Long Xiao was now frowning.
Because according to the procedure, Xia Hong shouldn't appear here, he is only a Divine Passage Realm cultivator. In principle, he doesn't have the right to know about matters of the Venerable Rank.
Secondly, he's not an official of Dayuan Prefecture. Although he benefits from his family's influence, he only holds a prestigious status and not an official post in Dayuan Prefecture. He only holds a rank within the Wu'an Army.
Of course, based on these points alone, it is not enough to draw any conclusions, especially when Xia Hong is accompanied by another Venerable.
The Prefect of Dayuan Prefecture, Cui Deyuan!
