Destiny is ashes

Chapter 205: Seeing the Heaven and Earth (13)

"No, please don't, spare me, sir!"

Seeing the imperial seal and documents being brought out, Zheng Mo felt as if he were about to die, and for a moment he even forgot the pain of the backlash.

He immediately jumped and grabbed Inspector Cao's feet: "I have served the country and the people for many years. Although I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please spare my life, sir!"

He was truly in great pain, crying so hard that his tears and snot were running - yes, he had indeed been working under Shu Zheng for so many years, and it could even be said that he had completely forgotten his own duties, but in recent days, he had indeed tried his best to fight against the True Demon Cult and protect the land veins of Kanming City!
Although he didn't accomplish anything without the help of Jing Xuan, he still did good things with good intentions. Why should he be stripped of his fame and magic talismans?
But he could never have imagined that the one who was colluding with the devil was his own boss, and Inspector Cao, who failed to complete his mission, didn't care about these things. He was so angry that he just wanted to vent.

"Report!"

It was sudden, but also expected.

As a wisp of smoke condensed out of thin air and hovered in front of Patrol Cao, a vague figure of a black-armored guard saluted in the void, and then began to report the situation to Patrol Cao: "Sir, the body of Captain Chen who was in charge of the Shaoyin node was found!"

"He was beheaded by a knife, and all the blood in his body was drained. His luck and magic are not clear. It seems that this is not an ordinary martial art, but a... strange magic from outer space!"

"It is highly likely that a master from the True Demon Cult ambushed Chen Baihu and used a special method to block his communications!"

"Oh?" After hearing this news, even Inspector Cao didn't have the energy to punish Zheng Mo for a while. He turned around and frowned, "What about the 'seal'?"

"'印' was also cut off!"

The Xuanjia Guards who were questioned understood what was meant. They all knew that the 'seal' was used to pollute the veins of Kanming City. This was also one of their tasks. However, they failed because of the Liuyang Xuanjing.

This is why Inspector Cao is most angry.

"Even the seal can be cut off..."

Hearing this, Inspector Cao frowned, as he knew very well how powerful that method was.

Even for him, it would take some effort to get rid of the great demon's pure demonic energy quietly. Theoretically speaking, in Kanming City where there is not even a guardian master, no one can destroy the seal by brute force.

Unless... there is a special magic weapon to kill magic.

Unless... it’s the devil himself!
"Could it be that the True Demon Cult betrayed their promise and wanted to monopolize the clues?!"

Thinking of this, Inspector Cao immediately became alert - although they were allies in the search for Princess Mingjing, they could stab each other in the back at any time!
Inspector Cao himself did not dare to know the truth about Princess Mingjing's arrest, but those crazy people from Tianmo might know it... That's why they would use all means to capture the other party!

"Lockdown the whole city!"

His mind raced as if he were on a whirlwind. Inspector Cao said in a deep voice, "Let the other Xuanjia Guards guard the ground veins, and let all the local city guards in Kanming City march out immediately, block all the surrounding streets, and identify all the suspicious elements!"

He immediately issued many orders. After doing all this, he remembered that Zheng Mo was lying beside him, half-dead.

Looking at Zheng Mo, Inspector Cao was really a little embarrassed at this moment.

If the devil really had his own little thoughts and wanted to betray the cooperation and kidnap Princess Mingjing alone, then what Zheng Mo did was right, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to deprive him of his magic talisman to punish him.

But things have come to this point, and the imperial seal document has to be produced... wouldn't it be unreasonable not to strip off some of the magic talismans?

Frustrated with having no way out, Inspector Cao was determined to get rid of Zheng Mo.

A golden light flashed, and then, in the government courtyard, there appeared another real warrior with long white hair and closed eyes.

The Divine Hidden Master, [Six Sun Mysterious Mirror·Ming Guang Chen] came here. "Brother Cao, why do you have to embarrass a junior?"

As soon as he arrived, he stepped forward, raised his hand as if to press down the hand of Inspector Cao who was holding up the document, and said in a gentle voice: "I have been lurking in the city for a long time, and this city chief has done everything he can. If he is punished for this, it is really too much."

"Don't interfere in Dachen's internal affairs!"

Inspector Cao glared and said, "This is our Dachen's business. If he didn't do it well, he should be punished. As the inspector of heaven and earth, my power is unlimited. Don't think I will give you face just because you ask for mercy!"

"I'm just saying."

Ming Guangchen heard that the other party's implication was to "beg for mercy", and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He said helplessly: "After all, this Zheng Chengzheng has been the guardian of this city for decades. With his luck integrated, it will be much easier to activate the earth vein formation, seal off Kanming City, and search the surrounding snowy areas with him."

"Why do you have to drive someone into a desperate situation so directly? It's also good to make up for one's crime and make meritorious contributions."

"That makes sense."

Seeing such a reasonable suggestion, Inspector Cao naturally took advantage of it. He put away the imperial seal and pointed his finger at Zheng Mo.

Suddenly, all the information and power blessings about the earth veins returned to Zheng Mo, and his painful body instantly improved a lot.

Zheng Mo, who had saved his life, first kowtowed three times and nine times to Inspector Cao, then kowtowed to Master Xuan Jing, shouting to the two adults for their wisdom, as if he had been reborn.

"Alright, alright."

Inspector Cao said impatiently: "This is an opportunity given to you by Master Xuan Jing. Do your best to achieve it!"

"As for now, go and fit in the earth veins! I will help you survey the entire city with the power of the earth veins!"

at the same time.

You Ruhui was originally listening to the conversation between An Jing and Aunt Huai, but suddenly, she stood up and said in panic, "Oh no!"

"There are changes in the ground veins of Kanming City... A strong man is using the magical power of 'seeing the sky and the earth' to catch me by following all the changes in the ground veins!"

"Can you hide?"

After hearing the news, An Jing had no time to discuss with Aunt Huai. He immediately stood up, ready to open the Taixu channel at any time.

Of course, he also knew very well that You Ruhui was not someone who could be caught so easily - if she was exposed just by using a magical power, then there would be no way she could escape to Kanming City.

"This time is different!"

But You Ruhui said solemnly: "This place is the border of Dachen... The power of the earth veins that I can use is also very scarce!"

"Not to mention, I just exposed a little bit of my power in order to suppress the earth veins to help you... Although it should fade away soon, if I am discovered..."

At this point, even though You Ruhui was still wearing a veil, it was clear that she was pale.

But soon, she figured it out and forced a smile, "Fortunately, my caution has worked... I have never appeared in front of anyone. As long as I hide myself and leave this place alone, even if I am discovered, you will not be implicated."

"Although I'm sorry, Auntie, Jingxuan... let's say goodbye for now."
