The governor of Jenzburg''s stomach turned, and he almost vomited.


    The head of the Jenzburg Inspection Office was dumbfounded.


    The Eastern Governor-General stared at Nash in disbelief.


    He... beheaded a county-level inspection director in public?


    Jimeney regained hisposure and shouted with fiery eyes, "How dare you?! Guards! Take him and put this murderer to death on the spot!"


    "Jimeney Yaar, as the county chief, you practice favoritism,mitted intentional malpractice for personal gain, condoned the murder of your rtives, and twisted the truth. You deserve death!" Nash''s cold voice spread throughout the audience. Next, the Nine Dragons Sword glinted and shed. The dragon''s mighty roar was heard.


    As the sword rose, a head fell.


    Jimeney, the chief of Huevo County, was dead!


    Everyone''s hearts squirmed violently again. Several vigers fainted in public.


    The chief of the Jenzburg Inspection Office snorted coldly. "You..."


    "Shut up!"


    Emory Bucklesen, the Eastern Governor-General, pped him with a backhand, causing the chief to spin around three times. Nash held the Nine Dragons Sword and said solemnly, "Adam, let Aunt Maria be buried. Whoever gets in the way will die today!"


    Adam''s eyes were red. He wanted to kneel and worship Nash.


    His mother could finally rest in peace.


    Emory stared nkly at the palm-wide giant sword in Nash''s hand.


    It was the Nine Dragons Sword.


    It was truly the Nine Dragons Sword. The dragon''s roar could never be imitated by knockoffs.


    Emory thought, ''No wonder the Southern Governor-General asked me to attend a funeral in his stead. He wanted me to meet this big shot.''


    The chief of the Jenzburg Inspection Office covered his face and said, "Mr. Governor-General... you..."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The governor of Jenzburg was also puzzled. "Mr. Governor-General, you don''t have to be afraid. There are many of us..."


    "Do you also want to die? That''s the Nine Dragons Sword. It has imed the lives of royalty and treacherous ministers. This person is themander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron!" Emory lowered his voice and exined.


    The other two looked puzzled. "What''s the Celestial Dragon Squadron?"


    Emory muttered, "Something that you''re not qualified to know. I can only tell you that his status is even higher than that of the Four Military Generals!"


    The two of them turned pale instantly. They looked at Nash with shock on their faces.


    Emory said coldly, "Why don''t you quickly clean up the scene and clear the way?"


    The two dared not hesitate. They immediately got to work.


    Emory lowered his head slightly and walked toward Nash.


    Nash raised his eyebrows, clenching the hilt of the sword with both hands.


    "S-Sir..." Emory was terrified, fearing that this expert would kill him too.


    With the Nine Dragons Sword, even if Nash beheaded Emory, Nash could just use Emory of anything and he would be fine.


    Nash said calmly, "Yes?"


    "Sir, I was entrusted by the Southern


    Governor-General to pay my respects to the deceased on his behalf!" Emory quickly exined the reason for his visit. His career would be in jeopardy if Nash mistakenly thought that he and Jimeney were on the same side.


    "Oh, you can go and pay your respects after the burial." Nash nced at Emory lightly.


    Emory nodded repeatedly. He breathed a silent sigh of relief.


    Amid the hymns of the funeral procession, Maria''s coffin was carried to the back mountain for burial.


    Emory, the Eastern Governer-General, and the chief of the Jenzburg Inspection Office lit a candle for Maria.


    Soon, the people from the Grand Gang brought hundreds of people to pay respects to Maria. Wreaths and flowers were ced up to hundreds of meters from her grave.


    Nash looked past several mountain peaks in the distance. Doubts shed in his dark eyes.
