The last message about the Daoist Collection from East Three Bright Star was decades ago, when a rumor spread from an unknown source claiming that before Marshal Ji passed away, he left a "Daoist Collection" at his old residence for someone destined to find it.
This rumor exploded inexplicably yet had no basis.
It was finally deemed as a despicable trick by the local cultural bureau and propaganda bureau.
Decades later, this message re-emerged, widely disseminated by the Ji Clan.
In an instant, an obscure frontier planet became the hot center of the Federation.
A large number of martial artists began to flood into the area, with Taian City, the largest residential city on East Three Bright Star, seeing the most influx.
In the Order Office of Taian City.
The terminal once again transmitted communication from the city hall. Leveraging his connections with the Yang Yan Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Xingyi, who smoothly ascended to the position of deputy director, took a deep breath and connected the call.
"We will definitely work hard..."
Moments later, Zhang Xingyi grumbled and hung up the call.
*These damned politicians, they want to seize this opportunity to vigorously develop the economy of East Three Bright Star, while also keeping peace and avoiding disputes. Do you think these newcomers are just ordinary tourists here to sightsee?!*
A glance at the densely packed crime reports on the screen beside him gave Zhang Xingyi a headache.
In recent days, many young martial artists had landed on East Three Bright Star one after another, beginning to roam different places, attempting to search for the Daoist Collection mentioned by the Ji Family.
Most of the urban area was fine, but places like the lower levels, where gangs gathered, were a complete mess.
Additionally, as if incidentally, almost all the martial arts halls on East Three Bright Star were being challenged.
Words like "There's no one on East Three Bright Star who can fight" had already started spreading.
As a result, these people became even more reckless.
In fact, many clashes had nothing to do with the so-called Daoist Collection, with most being mere verbal disputes.
These young martial artists, who were naturally at the age of peak vigor, also frequently encountered "old friends." A verbal dispute leading to a conflict was a common occurrence.
Those who had some scruples might choose a deserted place.
Those who did not care, or those martial artists who did not regard ordinary people at all, acted entirely as they wished.
There had already been cases where ordinary citizens got involved and suffered minor injuries.
Martial artists themselves were individuals who concentrated significant power in their own persons, so the Federation always had strict control over martial artists.
But this group of young genius martial artists had incredibly strong backers.
When encountering the more reasonable ones, he, as the deputy director, went up to mediate with a smile, offering a way out. If compensation was due, they compensated, and the injured civilians ended up making a small fortune from their injuries...
The most troubling were those from major clans who did not take their local Order Office and Security Bureau seriously. Even if reported, they couldn't do anything due to the complex network of relations backing these martial artists.
Ultimately, it was down to East Three Bright Star's weak martial arts strength. With their power, they could not deal with these young people in the urban area at all.
Most of these young people were merely True Seeds, but even those could easily defeat their Divine Travel.
At this point, Zhang Xingyi could only hope that the Security Bureau could quickly attain the authority from the central Security Bureau to blacklist the culprits in the Federation Security Bureau!
Only then could they provide some deterrence to those lawless martial artists.
"Deputy Director! There's another fight at the airport!"
Suddenly, a subordinate rushed out to report, wearing a bitter smile.
Zhang Xingyi's expression changed, and he asked, "What's the situation now?"
"For now, the two of them are somewhat restrained, fighting outside the airport."
Hearing this, Zhang Xingyi heaved a sigh of relief. The airport had a large flow of people, and if they weren't careful, people could get hurt; he sighed,
"Can you find their information through the Federation's archive?"
"Our authorization is not enough."
Not enough authorization... meaning martial artists hailing from significant power.
Zhang Xingyi's head ached once more.
Arriving there now would barely be a wrap-up, and the best person to intervene with these martial artists would be martial artists of their age...
They originally had the best person for this, which was Ji Jingqiu.
With Ji Jingqiu's reputation among peers, stepping forward to ask these young martial artists to restrain themselves would be much more effective than their intervention.
But Ji Jingqiu was not currently on East Three Bright Star, as he was seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
Though, considering the time, he should be returning in a day or two, right?
Yang Yan Martial Arts Hall.
"Things in the city have been getting increasingly chaotic lately," Yang Yao frowned.
Previously, there were even people coming to challenge the Martial Arts Hall, consisting solely of martial artists from the younger generation. If it hadn't been for Uncle Master Hong Hu handling things with experience, the Martial Arts Hall would have lost some face this time.
Hong Hu shook his head and said, "Be patient for a few more days. The Federation's officialdom won't let them run rampant for long."
"How long do we have to wait? There's been no action from above, and some procedures are still pending..."
Zhang Xingshan, with friends and family working in the Order Office and Security Bureau, smiled wryly along with Luo Xi.
Hong Hu said calmly, "Once innocent civilians are seriously injured, things will expedite."
Yang Yao's mouth twitched, an old tradition: haste follows disaster.
Zhang Xingshan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually closed it.
Taian City officials actually considered asking for help here to subdue the situation, but before proposing it, Hong Hu tactfully refused.
The reason was simple: Dragon Tiger Dojo did not have such a reputation that would compel the Federation's many thousand-year Martial Arts Families, large companies, and dojo's young martial artists to acquiesce.
