The burly man shook his head, "It won't be the Security Office. The Security Office doesn't need to handle things so cleanly. Besides, our Black Lotus Temple is proselytizing in Mo Yun City... who dares to suppress us?"
His voice was initially deep, but at the last four words, it suddenly opened up, spreading through the dark night, with a confidence akin to a slap on the face of the Mo Yun City officials.
Not to mention that the Heavenly Spider Lady is now seriously injured; even at her peak, how much support could Mo Yun City muster, and with what ability and courage, to dare oppose the Black Lotus Temple?
Indeed, all the cities under Tianxia are governed by the Ancient Imperial City, and all receive its shelter and support, but can the Ancient Imperial City watch over Mo Yun City day and night?
Black Lotus Temple, without going so far as to slaughter a city's lord, killing a chief of Mo Yun City's Security Office, wouldn't trigger too much backlash, I think.
