THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
196: Arrival of Law Enforcement Hall
Jiang Hao and the others rested some distance away from the ruins while being guarded by the Gold Core Realm cultivators. The seniors seemed to be wary of them.
'Senior Brother Jin Long is very rich. He had about ten thousand spirit stones! Now come to think of it, Senior Brother Ye Jit's storage treasure might have many spirit stones. Too bad!' thought Jiang Hao.
“People from Law Enforcement Hall have arrived. It seems like the situation here is very serious,” Zheng Shijiu said as he looked around. “It looks like we were treated as suspects for a reason.”
“Hmm..” Jiang Hao nodded.
They were identified as suspects. Logically, they do nothing to guarantee this. As long as they did nothing to fight the sect, they would be fine.
Jiang Hao still brought the Pearl of Heavenly Fate Crash with him. If they look for it, they will find it easily.
Two days later, Jiang Hao and the others received word that over ninety percent of the demons in the Demon Nest had been exterminated. The defense can be lifted, and they can go back to reporting.
As long as the demons did not head to the outskirts, there was no need to worry. The light core beam remains stable.
The Heavenly Note Sect had achieved full victory with minimal losses.
Two more days passed, and Jiang Hao saw the ruins moving.
“The collapse is collapsing,” said Zheng Shijiu.
Yue You and Xin Yuyue were also dumbfounded.
Jin Long and the others, who entered the ruins, turned pale from fear. If they don't make it out in time, they'll be buried with the ruins.
It's not just Jin Long. Jiang Hao also felt a chill on his back.
If he had stayed longer, he would have already been buried. The only way was to use the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman to escape. If it failed, he would have to rely on Hong Yuye.
The ruins slowly sank into the ground before everyone's eyes. No more ruins or other buildings around it. There is only a large grassland.
They were all shocked to see it. Jiang Hao stared at the new meadow. He can't feel anything. If he couldn't feel it, it would have been harder for others.
He looked towards the core of the Devil's Nest and wondered what made this place so mysterious.
According to Hong Yuye, there was a kind of legacy there that made everything feel magical and unreal.
What kind of inheritance could cause such a phenomenon?
Jiang Hao shook his head and put his thoughts aside. No matter how much he thought about it, he was unable to find anything.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
The next day, there was a commotion. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall have arrived.
“Senior Brother Ning Xuan, you've worked hard. You can hand these people over to us now,” said a familiar voice.
'Liu Xingchen?' Jiang Hao tried to see if it was really him.
It was true that Liu Xingchen was standing beside Ning Xuan.
From Jiang Hao's point of view, there wasn't much change to Liu Xingchen's aura. That meant the two people who took over his body did not make any movements immediately, LIU xmgcnen Degan to Investigate Jin Long and the others. Insteaa or looking for him physically, he used a treasure.
It was the mirror that covered Jin Long and the others. He searched their souls and traced their previous actions.
'Mirror Modelling Heavenly Essence Soul.' Jiang Hao looked at the mirror, somewhat surprised.
He had heard Liu Xingchen mention this treasure before, but according to him it was not something that an ordinary cultivator could use. Technically, Liu Xingchen should not have the qualifications to use it.
Jiang Hao used his Daily Rating ability in the mirror.
[Mirror Modelling Soul Divine Essence Pseudo: A treasure created by imitating the Mirror Modeling Soul Heavenly Essence. It was impregnated with traces of the aura of the Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror. It can trace simple cause and effect and is often used by the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect for investigation.]
Jiang Hao sighed in relief. It wasn't the true Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror. Normal investigative methods would not be able to uncover it. The fact that the Law Enforcement Hall did not find any evidence after several attempts can prove that.
So far, the only thing that could threaten him was the original Heavenly Essence Soul Modeling Mirror.
“There is no problem with these people,” Liu Xingchen said.
"But…"
The people gathered there were restless.
“But this is not enough. We need to understand more about what happened.
So…'
Liu Xingchen looked at Jin Long. “Young Brother Jin and the others who entered must come with us for further investigation. As for the others, we will do a simple investigation to make sure everything is fine.”
The other Law Enforcement Hall members took out a bowl of water. Many water droplets there were surging with spiritual energy.
“Everything, please give me your hand and drink a little water in your palm.”
Jiang Hao and the others did as they were told.
He realized that this was a method to test whether any of them were stained by misfortune. He doesn't have to worry.
However, the person next to him was not that lucky. The water in his hand shone with a dark light.
This frightened everyone, including the members of the Law Enforcement Hall and Ning Xuan.
Jiang Hao could only sigh at the misfortune of others. They might just be unlucky, or they might have a treasure stained by misfortune.
"Don't worry. It was just a trail of black light. It's just a coincidence that they have something similar. Let's bring them back for further investigation,” Liu Xingchen said calmly.
After that, nothing important happened.
After the members of the Law Enforcement Hall left, Jiang Hao and the others received orders from the sect. The mission had been completed, and they were able to return to the sect.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their journey finally ended after three whole months!
However, people were curious where Ye Ji and the others disappeared. They didn't find any more bodies. Could he have disappeared into the ruins?
A few days later, Jiang Hao and the others left the Devil's Nest.
“Alright, let's split up here. I hope we can meet again at the next mission,” Zheng Shijiu said sincerely at the entrance of the Devil's Nest.
Xin Yuyue also expressed her opinion.
Jiang Hao nodded.
These people actually posed no threat to him. They were just as careful as him.
Yue You nodded as well. He had been cooperating with them all this time, but he hesitated.
Yue You returned to the Flowing Waterfall. This particular mission is very dangerous. Fortunately, someone had destroyed the source that controlled the demons. Zheng Shijiu and Xin Yuyue thought it was Jiang
Hao.
However, others believed that it was Ye Ji who did that before she disappeared.
“ Junior sister Yue, you are back!” said a woman in blue.
“Senior Brother Cheng, nice to meet you here.”
Cheng Ran who was about to ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm, was a True Disciple from the Flowing Waterfall.
“I heard you all came back safely,” Cheng Ran said. “I also heard that it was all thanks to Broken Heart Cliffs.
Broken Heart Cliff? Yue You suddenly remembered Jiang Hao.
He's feeling confused. Did his elder sister also think that Jiang Hao had saved all of them?
He put his mind aside. He may think too hard about this.
"Yes. There are sources that control demons. Senior Brother Ning Xuan from the Broken Cliff made the final contribution and destroyed the source,” Cheng Ran said. “But... I also heard that Ning Xuan received praise, but her work was done by someone else. Someone mysteriously destroyed the source before they got there.”
