Chapter 507 How to capture someone at the Saint Realm? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The Holy Lord's daughter is now Li Chen's concubine, and the Holy Lord's attitude towards her is very positive.

Everything Li Chen needed in the Holy Land was given away for free, and they even sent things to Li Chen in their own names.

Li Chen would definitely give the Holy Lord some face, and the track of the Witchcraft Holy Land is also under construction.

It is estimated that it will be completed and open to traffic soon, and the Holy Lord will attend the opening ceremony.

He felt that all of this was the result of his own hard work.

Actually, even if he hadn't said anything, Li Chen would have been cultivating his orbit near the Holy Land of Witchcraft and Sorcery.

The transportation industry is essential for the economic development of southern Xinjiang.

This allows specialty products from southern Xinjiang to be quickly delivered to other regions.

As the saying goes, "To get rich, build roads first," and that's exactly right.

The Holy Lord also boasted a bit in front of Maurice.

Morris nodded thoughtfully.

He knew all too well what such a site represented to a power.

After visiting the Qingyun Sect, the two prepared to return home.

Just as they boarded the train for their return journey, they unexpectedly encountered the group of Venerable Yinyue, who were also heading north.

Venerable Yinyue was changing trains at this place when he unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance.

"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Yin Yue from the Ten Netherworld Palace?" The Holy Lord's eyes lit up, and he bowed respectfully.

Their relationship wasn't exactly close, but as fellow Saints, they had gone through countless trials together.

Whether it's a hidden paradise or an abyss adventure, you'll always have a chance to encounter it.

Before becoming Saints, they were all unparalleled geniuses renowned throughout their respective regions.

Whenever a supreme treasure of heaven and earth descends into the world, or whenever there is a grand sword-fighting tournament, one could potentially become an opponent.

Over time, they inevitably had some contact with each other.

Venerable Yinyue clearly recognized the other party as well, and quickly returned the greeting: "Lord Li, it's been a long time."

His gaze swept over Maurice beside the Holy Lord, and he secretly guessed the identity of this distinguished foreigner.

His words greatly surprised the elders of the Qingxia Sect.

Since the Qingxia Sect elders guessed the identity of Venerable Yinyue, and Venerable Yinyue was being so polite, the person in front of them was most likely also a Saint Realm cultivator.

Morris was also in turmoil, as it was said that the Tian Ce Dynasty was full of experts.

At first he didn't believe it, but now he thinks it might really be true.

I never expected to run into one on the street; they were all Saints.

Han Shuang stood behind her master, secretly observing Morris.

Although they didn't know each other, the luxurious clothes and the aristocratic demeanor in every gesture revealed their extraordinary status.

"Who is this?" Venerable Yinyue asked tentatively.

Just as the Holy Lord was about to introduce himself, Maurice stepped forward and said, "I am Maurice, from the Eternal Day Empire."

He did not reveal his identity as a prince, but Venerable Yinyue, with his keen insight, immediately guessed seven or eight parts of it from the pendant inlaid with holy light gems on the other party's waist.

Venerable Yinyue gave the Holy Lord a meaningful look: "So you are distinguished guests of Eternal Day. Are you two also heading to the Imperial Capital?"

The Holy Lord laughed and said, "Indeed, Fellow Daoist Yin Yue, what brings you here?"

"I'm visiting an old friend." Venerable Yinyue spoke vaguely, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the end of the carriage.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group took their seats.

Although Morris and Venerable Yinyue were outwardly polite, they were secretly sizing each other up. One was Prince Yongzhou, who wanted to learn from Tian Ce's experience, and the other was a reclusive sect leader who wanted to restore his sect's prestige. Yet, they were now sitting in the same carriage because of the same goal.

To put it bluntly, their goal is to find Li Chen.

Unbeknownst to them, inside the first-class cabin of this train, Li Chen was leisurely sipping tea, with three beautiful women by his side, the rapidly receding scenery outside the window serving as the perfect backdrop.

At the same time, something happened that shocked both the Tian Ce Dynasty and the Yong Zhou Empire.

That is, the mission 'where' Maurice was located was attacked by an unknown powerful figure.

The attackers seemed to have made thorough preparations; the carriage Morris was riding in was blown to pieces.

The scene was reportedly extremely horrific.

In the southern part of the Tian Ce Dynasty, a team of officials from the Ministry of Justice are carefully examining the scene of the attack on the mission.

"Sir, the scene has been cleared, and seventeen suspicious individuals have been apprehended, three of whom are suspected to be cultivators," a constable from the Ministry of Justice reported respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

Xiao Ming, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Justice, frowned as his gaze swept over the charred remains of the carriage on the ground.

The luxurious carriage that should have carried Prince Yongzhou was now reduced to dust, with shattered guard armor scattered around it.

"Have you figured out the source of the explosives?" Xiao Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the initial assessment is that it is a 'Thunderfire Talisman,' but its power far exceeds that of ordinary talismans. It was made by a talisman master at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm." The constable lowered his voice.

Just then, the necklace around Xiao Ming's neck started to move.

His master, the remnant soul of a saint, said, "It's definitely not just the Heavenly Abyss Realm, it should be the Saint Realm, and it was a top Saint Realm expert who personally took action, otherwise it would be impossible for it to have such power."

After a moment of contemplation, the remnant soul of the saint continued, "This technique is almost identical to mine back then. Could it be from the same lineage as mine?"

Hearing his master say this, Xiao Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

If a Saint-level expert were to intervene, this matter would become truly difficult to handle.

We can't exactly go and check the Saint Realm, can we?
Most of these people were in hidden sects, and Xiao Ming didn't even know how to get in.

Even if you know how to get in, these people might not give you face.

The reason why the people from other sects are being so polite now is because they are giving face to His Majesty Li Chen.

Furthermore, Master said that this technique is similar to his own. Could it be that someone else has received Master's teachings?

Or perhaps, are there still survivors from the sect that Master belonged to?
This is one of Xiao Ming's main quests: to find the location of his master and sect.

Xiao Ming had said before that he wanted to go and search for it, but the remnant soul of the saint kept saying that his cultivation was not high enough, and that he needed to be at least at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm to go to that place.

Xiao Ming's thoughts returned to the scene, and he was very puzzled: if it was an attack, why use such an obvious method, and even leave 'evidence'?

Normally, attackers try to avoid letting others know which faction they belong to in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

Even if a Saint Realm expert wanted to kill someone, there was no need to be so blatant in a place where the whole world was watching.

Having thought of this, Xiao Ming had already made up his mind. He said coldly, "Continue the investigation. Bring back all suspicious persons within a radius of fifty miles for interrogation."

He knew there was no trace of the murderer nearby, and even if there were, they certainly wouldn't be caught.

They're at the Saint Realm, how can we capture them?
As an official, he knew that the necessary procedures had to be followed, and he had to give the Eternal Day Empire an explanation.

Inside the palace of the Eternal Day Empire, Emperor Charles was gazing intently at the secret letter in his hand.

The handwriting on the letter was neat and restrained, and it was indeed the deputy envoy's own handwriting:
"Prince Maurice insisted on leaving the group to travel privately with the Heavenly Strategy Master, and we dared not stop him. The attack did not cause any actual casualties, and His Highness is safe and sound."

Charles burned the letter over the candle flame, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Chief Justice Albert hesitated to speak, while the other ministers exchanged glances.

Charles suddenly asked, "Tell me, who did this attack? My dear brother Chet?"
