Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The Land of No Return
Ji Yang naturally wouldn’t follow them and told them that once they reached the village, everyone would know the location.
Gongsun Hong and the others quickly rushed over, and Gao Huashan called Ji Yang into an office.
“Mr. Ji Yang, so many things have happened in Ximu City all at once; the pressure must be a bit overwhelming, right?”
“Yes, I hadn’t expected things to turn out . The key issue is the situation in Xiashan County, which has even implicated several leaders from the municipal committee.”
Gao Huashan said, “Actually, the provincial authorities are also under pressure. Ever since those incidents occurred in Shisong County, it has become a key focus for the province. The Special Bureau—Bureau Ten—their presence indicates that the Capital City is paying close attention to this area. Even I wasn’t aware of some of these special matters before. Due to these incidents in our province, we’ve come to know about certain matters. It was only after my visit to Shisong County and experiencing several unusual places that I realized that indeed, there exist some extraordinary phenomena in this world.”
Ji Yang could tell that Gao Huashan also seemed somewhat bewildered, his beliefs likely affected.
“I’ve also visited those places, and they really do have issues.”
“It’s more than just issues. I’ve been staying in the ancient city lately, and my chronic knee pain amazingly disappeared. Isn’t that strange?”
“I saw the situation of the people trapped in the Formation. We thought of many ways but couldn’t rescue them. Thankfully, the people from Bureau Ten took over; otherwise, we would have had to watch them die.”
When Ji Yang thought of the Gan Family’s people, he realized he had forgotten to rescue them.
“I know about that. They’re from the Gan Family, which has some influence domestically. I truly didn’t expect that important members of their family would die here.”
“They died? They weren’t saved?”
“Yes, it’s strange. When they died, their bodies automatically came out, and now the Formation at that place seems to have suddenly disappeared.”
Ji Yang said, “It really is a strange place.”
“Yes, now in Shisong County, powers from all sides have arrived. Many of these people are ones we can’t provoke. I am asking you to avoid provoking them as much as possible, as long as they don’t engage in activities that harm society. Minor scuffles are their own doing.”
“Are you saying something went wrong here?” Ji Yang hadn’t inquired in detail from Lei Zhongqian yet.
“Ordinary people naturally wouldn’t know what happened. Their disturbances are internal, and there’s no one else around. Let me tell you, according to Director Gongsun, they’ve had many disputes over better plots of land, and quite a few people have died.”
Ji Yang showed a shocked expression, which was necessary to avoid raising any suspicions.
Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, Gao Huashan said, “Fortunately, they have their own rules and are not allowed to kill ordinary people at will; otherwise, things would really get chaotic.”
Ji Yang said, “If that’s the case, our police are just ordinary people, too. Getting involved could lead to trouble.”
“That’s right. Although they have asked us to help with some matters, you still need to clarify to everyone what can be handled and what cannot. We must be careful not to unwittingly put lives at risk. In this region, deaths are normal, and there will be no legal protection.”
Ji Yang now understood that this area had become lawless, and if those cultivators killed someone, likely no one would intervene. This update is available on novel~fire~net
