In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 86 Fate Cannot Be Defied!
"Brother, they're inside. They say they suspect Huo Shan's death is also related to the Iron Mask and they want to perform an autopsy."

Zhu Wenjie said angrily, "They're just using this as an excuse to force the Huo family to reveal the 'murderer'."

"Come on, take me there."

"Brother! What are you trying to do? Don't do anything reckless!"

Although Zhu Wenjie was angry, he didn't dare to cause trouble in front of the clan management office; this was no joke.

"What are you thinking? I just want to see Brother Huo one last time and return the golden knife while I'm at it."

"I'm asking where Brother Huo's parents are! Who do you think they are?"

Xie Lingxin rolled her eyes. I'm not stupid.

"..." The three of them were somewhat skeptical, but they still led him to the place where Huo Shan's body was kept, which had been set up as a mourning hall for one person.

There was a coffin in the middle.

Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Huo arrived.

"Uncle Huo, Aunt Huo, this is Xie Lingxin."

Cui Hong then introduced the two parties.

Xie Lingxin took out the golden knife and handed it over. Before she could finish speaking, she only said a few words: "I'm sorry, you two."

Huo Zhenxiong took the evil-repelling golden knife with a reluctant expression and handed it to Madam Huo.

Madam Huo held the golden knife, tears already streaming down her face.

Fok Chun-hung sighed, "We know everything. Thank you."

They both knew what they were thanking each other for.

Whether it was killing the female ghost or the Iron-Faced Man, the Huo family should be grateful to Lingxin for this favor.

However, it cannot be said in public.

Madam Huo suddenly said, "Young Xie, may I ask who your father is...?"

Xie Lingxin casually said, "Oh, an elementary school teacher. You two probably don't know her."

"That……"

She was about to ask more when Fok Chun-hung stopped her, his eyes conveying both restraint and reproach.

Mrs. Huo came to her senses, a hint of apology flashing across her face, and she didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Lingxin saw it all and could guess what was going on.

Two almost identical faces appearing here at the same time, one of whom is a young master of the Chen family of Leizhou, how could they not attract attention?
"Senior Huo, may I see Brother Huo?"

Fok Chun-hung glanced over there, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "This way, please."

They led him to the coffin.

The coffin wasn't sealed, and there were several people surrounding it, doing who knows what.

Xie Lingxin ignored them and walked straight past.

This was the first time he had seen Huoshan in real life.

pity……

Huo Shan, lying in the coffin, looked exactly the same as he remembered, except for his slightly pale complexion.

As if asleep, the mind is born and the body dies; people look as if they have died of old age, without any pain.

Xie Lingxin wanted to get a little closer.

"You are Xie Lingxin?"

At this moment, a person standing beside the coffin straightened up and turned around.

He was in his early twenties, with short, dark blue hair and a wolf-tooth-shaped pendant hanging from his left ear.

The man with the earrings was just as good-looking as him, but his brows betrayed a cold and aloof demeanor.

There was an aura that made Xie Lingxin uncomfortable; it was sharp, cold, and somewhat piercing.

I didn't like his attitude either; he seemed very polite and well-mannered.

But it was a half-smile, a strange and sarcastic one.

There is another type that is just like the Man in the Iron Mask: condescending and aggressive.

Therefore, Xie Lingxin didn't want to talk to him.

He walked straight past the man and came to the coffin.

The man with the earring smiled slightly.

He didn't say anything, but one of the people next to him reached out and tried to grab Xie Lingxin.

Huo Zhenxiong's eyes flashed, and he took a step forward, blocking Xie Lingxin in time: "Inspector Xiao, are you done with the inspection?"

"My son's body has been lying in state for a long time. Once the examination is complete, please forgive me for sealing the coffin, so that my son may not rest in peace. I am so heartbroken that I am afraid I will displease the inspectors."

A man next to the man with the earring sneered in a low voice: "Hey, Leizhou is just a small, rural place, yet it has such a big mouth."

Many people attended the Huo family funeral today; they were all prominent figures in Leizhou.

Whether it was that face that bore a striking resemblance to the young master Chen, or the clash between the Huo family and the clan management office, both were extremely eye-catching.

Although they all acted as if nothing was wrong, they were actually secretly watching this situation.

They had initially remained detached observers, but upon hearing these words, they all frowned inwardly.

This isn't just being caught in the crossfire; it's like being directly targeted by a ground attack.

I had heard that the people in the clan management office were domineering and unscrupulous, and it turned out to be true.

Because of their status, it was not appropriate to cause a scene.

Xie Lingxin witnessed this scene and gained a glimpse into the power and prestige of the clan management office.

If someone else said something like that, they shouldn't even think about leaving this house standing up.

The man with the earring waved his hand dismissively, dismissing the man who had sneered and provoked him: "Mr. Huo, I have no intention of making things difficult for you."

"However, this person is also a subject of our clan affairs office's investigation, so please cooperate."

His gaze then turned to Xie Lingxin: "Please cooperate as well."

The tone left no room for doubt.

Huo Zhenxiong did not back down, and his tone became even more forceful: "This is my Huo family home, and these are my Huo family guests. If you want to investigate the case, please do so after Inspector Xiao leaves!"

Huo Shan's death is inextricably linked to the Iron-Faced Man. If he really was a member of the Religious Affairs Bureau, it would be good enough if they didn't take their anger out on him. How could they possibly give the Religious Affairs Bureau a friendly look?
Besides, what's the difference between their current practice of performing an autopsy and publicly humiliating someone?
It's just that they can't act out because of the power of the clan management office.

You've already put up with enough humiliation after your son's death; Fok Chun-hung has been incredibly patient.

If I can tolerate this any longer, I'll really become a turtle!

at this time.

The man next to the man with the earring had a strange look in his eyes.

Xie Lingxin was involuntarily drawn in, feeling an endless attraction and profound depth in his eyes.

Their eyes met, and they immediately felt a sense of weightlessness, as if they were falling into an endless abyss.

A little devil with a blue face and wolf fangs, holding a three-pronged steel fork, appeared before them.

"sinner!"

The little devil let out a fierce shout, like rolling thunder, which made Xie Lingxin dizzy.

"Tell me honestly about the crimes you have committed!"

"Did you kill the man in the iron mask?!"

"Speak! Speak! Speak!"

The interrogations seemed to penetrate his bones and heart, causing him a mixture of pain, numbness, and itchiness.

It made him extremely uncomfortable.

The little devil, seeing no response from him, seemed to have a strange look in his eyes, then raised the steel fork in his hand and thrust it towards him.

Xie Lingxin was unable to dodge in time and was caught by the little devil, causing her excruciating pain.

Ok?
Despite this, the little devil discovered that this kid's soul was far more robust than that of an ordinary person.

When others are bewitched and questioned by his mind-controlling techniques, the excruciating pain under the steel fork is absolutely unbearable, and they will immediately have to speak honestly.

How could it be like this?
The excruciating pain actually brought Xie Lingxin back to her senses.

Seeing the little ghost in front of him, who looked like a messenger from the underworld, and looking at the endless darkness all around, how could he not understand that he had unknowingly fallen victim to someone's mental manipulation?
He couldn't help but feel secretly angry.

They resorted to such underhanded tactics the moment they met!

Just like the Iron Mask, they do nothing human!
If you openly and honestly throw a punch, I might be a little afraid of you.

But you want to play mind games?

Aroused by intention, thoughts surge forth.

Suddenly, streaks of lightning flashed within the dark abyss.

The little devil was startled.

Consciousness?!
With such imposing presence and spirit, he would believe it if you told him that he had passed through three heavenly gates and severed the three corpses, not just the first mental barrier.

They were filled with astonishment and doubt, wondering which school or sect of cultivation could produce such a spiritual consciousness!

Xie Lingxin did not use the invocation spell.

This is within one's own sea of ​​consciousness.

Lei Zu's consciousness is stronger than it was in the Domain Realm.

I estimate that, without using the summoning technique, the consciousness in my sea of ​​consciousness can at least exert two to three levels of mental power.

Even in the realm of almost nothing, one can still reach the second level.

If the summoning spell is used, the power level can be increased by at least twice, perhaps even reaching the fourth level.

The saying that each level is a new world is not an exaggeration; with each new level, the gap increases exponentially.

However, Lei Zu's consciousness was sufficient to deal with this brat within his own sea of ​​consciousness!

Break it!

"Boom!"

Thunder roared and lightning flashed.

Xie Lingxin's appearance had transformed into that of Lei Zu, who was dressed in a dark blue thunder robe and draped in armor.

He gripped the lightning bolts in both hands and hurled them at the brat.

The surrounding darkness was instantly torn apart, revealing a colorful and chaotic mental world.

The little demon was struck by lightning and turned into wisps of black smoke, dissipating in the spiritual world.

"puff--!"

In reality, the person next to the man with the earring suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, his body went limp, and he fainted, only to be supported by the people around him.

Everyone present was stunned at the sight, but then they understood.

This was clearly a sneak attack on the mind, but it backfired.

The outcome seems rather tragic; perhaps even their consciousness has been severely damaged?
Even if they don't die, their very foundation will be damaged.

The clan management office's practices are indeed just as rumored.

Especially those surnamed Xiao, who seem to enforce the law strictly, but are actually unscrupulous in every way.

One can tell a lot from the behavior of his subordinates.

Today they've finally gotten their comeuppance.

What interested them even more was Xie Lingxin.

This kid... looks about the same age as the young master of the Chen family, and has never been seen before, yet he has such spiritual cultivation?
Many people know about the person who secretly attacked the clan management office; he must have at least the second level of mental cultivation.

Even with a preemptive strike, he was still able to turn the tables and inflict heavy damage. Could it be that someone so young already possesses a second or even higher level of mental cultivation?
Isn't this even more impressive than the young master of the Chen family, and comparable to the true prodigy of the Chen family's daughter?

This is unbelievable...

At this moment, Liu Sanxian and the others were also taken aback.

Realizing what had happened, she quickly asked, "Xie Lingxin, are you alright?"

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "It's nothing."

"I knew it!"

Looking at the astonished expressions of the people around him, Liu Sanxian proudly puffed out his chest, as if he had stolen the limelight.

Zhu Wenjie just chuckled awkwardly, thinking, "Brother is brother."

Cui Hong sighed inwardly.

The ninth day: The hidden dragon should not be used.

The second line, "The dragon appears in the field."

His talent is beginning to show, and it can no longer be hidden.

among the crowd.

Chen Lingguan's face showed no abnormality, but his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.

An overwhelming sense of fear arose in my heart.

Even though more than a decade has passed, he can still recognize the person at a glance.

The day has finally come.

How could it be... How could it be possible...

How could he possibly have such talent and cultivation?
More than jealousy, Chen Lingguan was terrified.

What he cared about most was the identity of the young master of the Chen family.

The more outstanding a person is, the more attention they attract.

The more likely the events of that year will be exposed.

If this were to be exposed, my father would never admit it for the sake of the Chen family's reputation, but I'm afraid I'd never get recognition from him either...

at this time.

Huo Zhenxiong, with a gloomy expression, once again stood in front of Xie Lingxin and unleashed his mental power, covering the entire hall.

The Huo family's power to ward off evil contains a hidden divinity. Especially with Huo Zhenxiong's cultivation, even his mental power faintly radiates a golden divine light, which is visible to the naked eye.

It is hard to ignore, and it makes my heart flutter.

"Inspector Xiao, this is the Huo family's residence. Aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?"

Xiao Yan stared at Xie Lingxin, then suddenly smiled, his gaze sweeping past Xie Lingxin and landing on Huo Zhenxiong.

“Mr. Huo is right. Guards, Xiao Gui has violated regulations by using torture without authorization. Take him away, lock him in solitary confinement for ten days, and fine him two hundred.”

With a wave of his hand, someone immediately carried the person who was spitting blood out.

Everyone fell silent.

It wasn't because he was ruthless; quite the opposite, Ke was provoking him to his face.

Ten days of confinement and a fine of two hundred?
It doesn't even itch, let alone hurt.

Isn't this a blatant message to Fok Chun-hung: I'm going to do it, what can you do about it?

"Since it's Mr. Huo's big day, I'll give you face."

Xiao Yan turned his gaze and pointed at Xie Lingxin with his finger: "As for you, you are very good, but the people that my clan management office wants to investigate will definitely be investigated to the end. You had better not have broken the law, otherwise, I will teach you what it means to have strict laws."

“I will naturally teach my people.”

"Xiao Yan, you're getting bolder and bolder. When did it become your place to teach my men a lesson?"

Just then, a pleasant and gentle voice came from inside.

The crowd parted like water, and Jin Su, with her long legs, strode out from among them.

Her long skirt fluttered beneath her, exuding an aura of heroic spirit.

Su Li and several other atmospheric scientists followed behind him.

They stopped Xiao Gui, the assassin they had just tried to take away.

"sister!"

Seeing that her backer had arrived, Xie Lingxin quickly ran from behind Huo Zhenxiong to behind Jin Su.

Fok Chun-hung: "..."

"Captain Kim?"

When Xiao Yan, the man with the earring, saw her, his gaze swept back and forth between her and Xie Lingxin.

As if he understood something.

"Ah."

He chuckled silently, revealing a hint of absurdity.

"General Jin... Captain, don't say I didn't warn you. Even if it were you, if you broke the law, you still wouldn't escape the severe punishment of the law."

Xiao Yan said meaningfully, "Don't forget why you're on Far East Star."

Jin Su ignored him, her gaze shifting until it landed on Xiao Gui.

"take away."

Su Li and the others then tried to rush forward to snatch the person.

The other party naturally wouldn't let them take it away.

Tensions rose sharply.

Xiao Yan's smile turned slightly cold: "Captain Jin, isn't that going too far?"

"Wow—!"

All those present heard a clear cry, as if a phoenix had taken flight in legend.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue.

It instantly brought everyone's consciousness to the sky.

I felt the sky was vast and boundless, and the will of Heaven was unfathomable.

It conveys a sense of superiority and inviolability, making everyone almost irresistibly want to kneel and grovel.

Destiny!

What is destiny? They may not have known before, but now they do.

The Mandate of Heaven is supreme and cannot be defied!
Fortunately, this earth-shattering will disappeared just as his knees buckled.

It makes one almost doubt the truth.

Looking at Xiao Yan and the others, their faces were already pale.

"take away."

Jin Su said calmly again.

Su Li led the two men forward and lifted Xiao Gui up.

The people from the clan management office just stood there dumbfounded, not daring to stop them.

"Good, very good... As expected of the Heavenly Mandate Martial Arts that is renowned throughout the Federation!"

Sweat beaded on Xiao Yan's forehead as he gritted his teeth and said...

"Captain Kim is indeed impressive."

"I'd like to see if Captain Jin will regret what he did today when those people you've been protecting start criticizing and cursing you."

Xiao Yan uttered a nonsensical remark, then led his men away, ignoring Xiao Gui.

"So majestic!"

On the other side, Liu Sanxian grabbed Zhu Wenjie and Cui Hong's sleeves, looked at Jin Su with admiration, suppressed his voice, and excitedly stomped his feet.

Zhu and Cui were also shocked and their hearts were filled with unease.

Everyone present was the same.

How impressive!

The Heavenly Mandate Martial Arts was unfamiliar to most people present, and they didn't feel much connection to it.

However, it was obvious to all that the people in the clan management office were completely suppressed and dared not even breathe loudly.

That's the clan management office, the residence of scions of a prominent family!
Jin Su, who had shocked and inspired everyone, remained calm, as if she had done something insignificant.

He glanced back at Xie Lingxin and said, "Once you've finished your business, hurry back to work. Don't slack off."

"Okay, I got it, sis!"

"Sis, are you leaving again?"

Jin Su nodded: "There are still some things I can't leave behind."

After saying that, he strode away.

"gone."

Su Li winked at him and quickly followed with her men.

This great deity has departed.

All eyes in the Huo family's hall immediately focused on Xie Lingxin...
