The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 967: I'll Do It Myself



In the Black Serpent Clan, the new arrival of blue-skinned Celestials immediately sent the black mutant serpents on high alert. Everyone feared the Celestial Kingdom had already

learned about their defection.

(Everyone, calm down. Act normally and do anything suspicious. The Blue Skins aren't here to punish us.)

(That's right. These Blue Skins are only a group of Transcendents. They can't threaten us at all. Someone, quickly inform the Clan Leader about this.)

(Shareiss, congratulations. You have just been promoted to an Elder. Go and meet the Blue Skins and see what they want.)

(Eh?)

The Late-stage Demigod-rank Gold-horned Mutant Serpent was stunned by the sudden promotion and arrangement.

However, it didn't take long for her and everyone else to understand why the ten elder serpents promoted her unanimously. The physical appearance of the Dragon-Serpent Bloodline was too eye-catching.

If the Blue Skins asked about it, they would find it hard to explain.

Furthermore, the awakened bloodline could even attract the Celestials' greed. Those Blue Skins never needed a reason when they wanted to take something.

(Understood, Elders.)

Outside the Black Serpent Clan's den, Shareiss shortly met up with the Blue Skins, who stayed outside of the radioactive seawater. While they weren't affected by the weak radiation at their level, they didn't need to dirty themselves in its tainted waters.

"May I ask why the Esteemed Celestials have decided to grace our humble clan today? I am Elder Shareiss. Any questions you have, I am here to answer them."

"Four precious members of our proud Silverscale City have been killed, so we are tasked to gather information on the killer. Nine of your Demigods have also been killed. Do you know anything about this?"

"What? How is that even possible? Nine of our Demigods were also killed? When did that happen? Where did they die?"

After Shareiss feigned shock and ignorance with her quick thinking, the faces of the blue- skinned Celestials immediately fell; they became gloomy and depressed.

They came to get their questions answered, not answer questions.

"Shit. I knew these black snakes were unreliable. They haven't even found that some of their clan members have been killed yet. Their network is truly trash."

"I told you we should have gone straight to the coastal region. We would have likely gained more useful information there. The black snakes here don't know shit."

The blue-skinned Celestials did not waste any more time with Shareiss. They immediately departed east without a word of goodbye.

They were so arrogant that they didn't think Shareiss could be hiding information from them.

...

Shortly after blue-skinned Celestials departed, Dragon-Serpent Leader Sutu learned about their visit. He immediately instructed the dragon-serpent elders to lay low for a while.

At the same time, he also sent a group of talented black serpents to the Southwestern Sea under the guise of mutual exchange with the Fighting Dolphin Clan.

However, their main goal was to warn Vaan and ask him to stay out of the troubled waters of the Western Sea for a while to ensure his safety.

...

Meanwhile, the blue-skinned sea patrollers did not spend too much effort on their information gathering. In fact, it could be said that they lacked enthusiasm. They only spent three hours in the coastal region before returning to Silverscale City.

When the limited information was passed on to the Spirit Observation Department, Chief Ethar immediately fumed on the spirit telecom.

"What the fuck do you mean the sea patrol has only this bit of information?! Can this even be counted as information? What the fuck did your men even do!? They didn't even gather intel from the DSE land region!"

"Don't be unreasonable, Chief Ethar. My men are just sea patrollers. The land is not part of our jurisdiction. If you want information from the land-dwellers, you should contact the Land Investigation Branch," the Border Garrison Captain coolly suggested.

"The fact that I even listened to your request is already me giving you face, Chief Ethar. Do you think it makes for Heaven Ascension realm experts to investigate a murder case involving Divine Star-level threat?"

"My men aren't expendable tools for building your career profile! Go and find another department to help you with your case. We are done here," the Border Garrison Captain coldly ended the call.

Bang!

Chief Ethar smashed the spirit telecom device in rage. He didn't expect the sea patrols to be so uncooperative. It made him realize the military was not happy with the personnel change.

As such, even if he contacted the Land Investigator Branch, he would still get the same cold treatment. No one from the military took him seriously.

If he wanted things done, he could only do it himself.

"A bunch of bastards! Just you all wait! Once I make a major contribution to the Celestial Kingdom and receive a higher title, see how I'll make all of your lives miserable!"

As Chief Ethar uttered venomously, the members of the Spirit Observation Department continued their work in dreadful silence like they didn't exist. They feared making a sound would turn them into the target of his wrath.

They didn't even dare to fart.

As such, Chief Ethar didn't receive any criticism despite destroying military property, which was punishable by up to thirty spirit lashes, depending on the damage.

"Inform me through this Sound Talisman if there's any new information!" Chief Ethar threw out his instruction before storming off.

After leaving the Spirit Observation Department, he immediately gathered his Divine Star realm knights and Divine Origin realm servants to set out on a hunting expedition.

"I should have done this from the start," Chief Ethar stared at his powerful lineup of subordinates.

Although he alone had enough power to deal with a First-stage Divine Star-level threat, he also knew that it was only a rough estimate due to limited information. For his safety, it was always better to bring a force several times stronger than the estimated threat level.

'Four First-stage Divine Star realm knights and ten Ninth-stage Divine Origin realm servants... Who can stop me?' Chief Ethar thought confidently.

With such a powerful lineup, even the Great Devils of Gehenna would have to flee for their
