Chapter 347 Strongest Examiner

"Oh"

This news caught Hagan somewhat off guard.

"Now, the Dragon Temple believes my injuries are severe and that I've regressed in terms of power, making me unable to fulfill my duties as a Scrutinizer. Therefore, Donghai City is currently without an official Scrutinizer overseeing it. Qian Shaoyang being transferred to Donghai City is due to this opportunity," Su Han continued.

Hagan knew that Qian Shaoyang was from the Golden Dragon lineage, and golden dragons were the rarest among all dragon races, with each individual also being one of the strongest. Their average strength was closest to celestial dragons, making them stand out in terms of status within the circle of dragon cultivators.

Since Qian Shaoyang came from the Golden Dragon lineage, he must naturally hold a special position within the Scrutinizer system. Taking advantage of Su Han not monitoring Donghai City for several consecutive weeks has allowed him to transfer here; this is likely his strategy.

"Then… What do you plan on doing" Hagan asked Su Han.

"My vital energy hasn't fully recovered yet, and the breakthrough caused by the divine pills still needs stabilization. I plan to rest for a bit more in this Dragon Palace. Furthermore, I don't want to confront Qian Shaoyang directly; instead, I wish to observe the changes," Su Han replied.

"So you pretend that your injuries are still severe and thus dare not come out to compete with Qian Shaoyang for the power of a Scrutinizer. You just want to see what tricks he'll play next, right" Hagan asked her.

Su Han smiled but didn't confirm or deny it, secretly admiring how sharp Hagan's thinking still was.

Hao Ren’s divine pills worked surprisingly well; actually, she was now stronger than before. If Qin Shaoyang hadn’t made significant progress, Su Han would find it easy to suppress him, but she wanted to see the Dragon God Temple's stance on this matter.

Previously, the Dragon God Temple had sent Qin Shaoyang to the bitterly cold northwest region out of respect for Su Han. As one of the strongest inspectors dispatched externally, if Su Han resigned from her position as an inspector, a powerful figure would be lost in the system. Therefore, to retain Su Han, the Dragon God Temple preferred to slightly punish Qin Shaoyang.

Inspectors who were injured while on duty could return to the Dragon God Temple for recuperation; with its abundant resources and various spiritual elixirs and treatments, what Su Han had access to was richer than what the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace could provide.

According to regulations, if a regional inspector went to the Dragon God Temple for closed retreats or convalescence, the temple would dispatch another inspector to take over their region. By not returning to the Dragon God Temple, Su Han didn’t want to relinquish her jurisdiction over Donghai City.

But at this critical juncture, Qin Shaoyang’s arrival in Donghai City and his temporary oversight of its "defense" seemed to signify a change in the Dragon God Temple's attitude toward her.

Distrust Worry Or something else…

It was certain that both the Dragon God Temple and Qin Shaoyang believed Su Han wasn’t as powerful as before.

Donghai City was the land city closest to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, in addition to being affiliated with three other dragon palaces. The temple had dispatched Heaven-grade inspectors for駐守，應當翻譯為"garrison," 但是為了保持原文的結構和意思，並且考慮到前文已經有“駐守”一詞被正確翻譯，這裡可以使用"stationed"來表達。因此，我會對最後兩句話進行微調以確保一致性：

Donghai City is the land city nearest to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, and it also connects with three other dragon palaces. The Dragon God Temple has stationed Heaven-level inspectors there, making these four regional inspectors among the elite within the inspection system, enjoying the highest status, greatest power, and strongest capabilities in their ranks.

As for roving inspectors, theoretically they can intervene in any region’s affairs and investigate various details. However, the four major cities closely tied to the Four Seas Dragon Palaces are undoubtedly under the jurisdiction of these top-tier regional inspectors. Any external inspector meddling with these cities would inevitably face severe consequences.

Previously, Qin Shaoyang, who held a relatively high status among roving inspectors, rashly entered Donghai City and interfered in matters between the Eastern Sea and Western Sea, challenging Su Han's authority there, which ultimately led to his transfer to the bitterly cold northwest region as a minor regional inspector.

"When is he going to arrive" Hao Ren asked Su Han again.

"He will be here soon. I don't plan on meeting him, but you are my Assistant Examiner and it's inevitable that you'll clash with him. Of course, there's no need for you to fear him; if he dares to harm you in any way, I'll take immediate action." Su Han said indifferently.

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were incredibly sharp.

As the Assistant Examiner, even if Hao Ren did something wrong, it would be the Dragon God Temple that punished him. If Qin Shaoyang dared to lay a hand on her people, Su Han wouldn't hesitate at all!

"Alright, I understand." Hao Ren nodded. Now that he had practiced up to 75 apertures, his power was several dozen times stronger than before. While he definitely couldn't beat the Kun-level Qin Shaoyang in a fight, he certainly wasn't as weak as he used to be.

"I just came by to see how you're doing; there's nothing else. It's getting late, so I should head back." Hao Ren looked at her and smiled before speaking.

“Hm.” Su Han nodded slightly, with a faint smile. Unlike the cold determination she had earlier, as she moved to walk him to the door, Su Han seemed unexpectedly gentle.

"By the way," Su Han suddenly called out crisply, "the divine pills you gave me are more effective than ninth-grade golden elixirs that can be refined; if there's a chance in the future, I'd like to explore Nine Dragons Palace with you again."

“You know where Nine Dragons Palace is” Hao Ren turned and asked her.

"It would definitely not be in Eighth Layer Heavens at most, it should be within Seventh Layer Heavens. If we look for it, we can find it." Su Han replied.

She had never relied on elixirs to improve her realm before, but the effects of a few divine pills this time left her pleasantly surprised. Reaching the middle level of the Qian grade was extremely challenging for further advancement; merely relying on arduous cultivation alone had become impractical. She knew that the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace possessed some divine pills, but she did not count on obtaining them from there. Therefore, she planned to take a risky chance and venture into the Nine-Dragon Palace again.

"Alright, if you go, bring me along." Hao Ren immediately agreed without hesitation.

This straightforwardness slightly surprised Su Han.

“Besides ancient divine pills, there are also large quantities of ancient martial arts and ancient treasures inside. If we can get in, it would be worth exploring.” Hao Ren said casually before pushing the door open and stepping out.

Su Han's casual remark stirred excitement within her; the Nine-Dragon Palace was filled with countless treasures and rich opportunities. Mastering an appropriate primordial martial art there could unlock the ancient dragon bloodline, making her ascension to a celestial dragon no longer just a dream.

As she watched Hao Ren’s figure gradually recede into the distance, Su Han circulated her unobstructed meridians and suddenly noticed that Hao Ren seemed to have made considerable progress during this period...

The imposing aura he exuded was almost breaking through to the Gen grade

Su Han lowered her head and counted on her fingers. How many days had passed since then Had he opened more than twenty acupoints already With his ordinary talent and cultivation method, which emphasized stability, could I have misjudged him even at my Qian-grade level

Will this kid no longer be a burden if we venture into the Nine-Dragon Palace again...

Su Han patted her chest with her hand; the rage of Qilin still made her heart race. That domineering energy had even shaken off someone at the Qian-grade level.spiritual energy surging outwards, even drawing essence blood connected to their lives. As three mid-stage Soul Formation Heavenly Mountain Sect Elders were about to collapse, the countless swirling l...
