Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 128 I'm really not a spy for the demonic path!

The island where the Law Enforcement Hall is located is called Sword Island.

The name comes from the fact that the island's shape does indeed resemble a sword, and it is located between the main island, Water Dragon Island, and the island where the Ancestral Hall is located.

By the time Ji Yuan and Pi Fangzhi finally arrived, it was already late at night.

However, there were still dedicated disciples of the Enforcement Hall waiting there.

This time, the visitor was not Fang Jie, but a young man I had never seen before. He had a hooked nose and gave off a very unapproachable vibe.

"Is this Ji Yuan and Pi Fang?"

"The hook-nosed man asked."

"Exactly."

Ji Yuan bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Come with me."

After he finished speaking, he turned around abruptly, his robes swishing loudly as he did so.

Ji Yuan followed closely behind, stepping onto the black stone floor of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He had only glanced at it from afar when he passed by, but had never set foot on the Law Enforcement Hall. In fact, many disciples of the Water Dragon Sect never set foot on this island in their entire lives.

After all, coming to this Hall of Enforcement is basically like having one foot in the door of no return.

Ji Yuan looked around at the scenery.

The place before them was the plaza of Sword Island, the ground of which was made of black stone, and there were stone pillars carved from black stone all around, with bonfires on top of the pillars.

Thankfully, the fire wasn't a ghostly blue, otherwise it would have looked no different from a ghostly place.

Before you is a corridor paved with black stones. After passing through this corridor, you will arrive at a building that looks like a small town. Above the town hangs a huge plaque with the three characters "Hall of Law Enforcement" written on it.

When Ji Yuan got closer, just looking up at those three words made him feel a sense of dread.

"This was left behind by the third Supreme Elder of our Water Dragon Sect. Look at it too much, or your foundation will be damaged!"

The hook-nosed man said with a sneer.

"Furthermore, I'd like to offer you a few words of advice."

"When our Enforcement Hall members question you later, you'd better be honest. If we find that what you reveal is different from the truth we've uncovered... the consequences will be more than you can bear."

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

Pi Fangzhi asked in a trembling voice, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what exactly has Tang Ran done wrong?"

"hehe."

The man with the hooked nose turned around with a smile. "Want to know? Don't worry, you'll find out in a bit."

When he said this, Pi Fangzhi felt a chill run down his spine.

After entering the small town where the Hall of Law Enforcement was located, the hook-nosed man led them to a row of buildings.

Ji Yuan didn't dare to look around carelessly.

"Alright, one room per person. Go in. Someone will come to ask you questions soon."

After finishing his sentence, the hook-nosed man walked into the darkness, showing no concern that Ji Yuan and the other man would leave. In fact, he was more than happy for them to escape.

Pi Fangzhi glanced at Ji Yuan and sighed.

"Ugh."

The two went into their respective rooms.

The room was lit by a lamp that burned eternally, and the furnishings were extremely simple, consisting of only a table and a few chairs.

Ji Yuan waited behind the table for a moment, and then a series of footsteps sounded outside. Finally, two expressionless disciples of the Enforcement Hall walked into the room.

A man and a woman, whom I don't know.

And as soon as they came in, they locked the door.

Ji Yuan then perked up and clasped his hands in greeting to them.

"Okay, sit down and let's talk."

The female cultivator felt a rare moment of good mood upon seeing Ji Yuan's appearance.

Beautiful things always bring joy.

"Don't worry too much. Our Enforcement Hall has already investigated you all. You just need to answer the questions truthfully."

"it is good."

"Ji Yuan, right? What's your relationship with Tang Ran like?"

"Our relationship is limited to that of neighbors; we don't have any contact on a regular basis."

Ji Yuan had already prepared for these problems.

He answered the following questions honestly, such as what kind of person Tang Ran was, what his conduct was like, and whether there were any conflicts with his neighbors.

Finally, there was only one question that the two of them asked one last time.

"You mean, Tang Ran and Pi Fangzhi have a bad relationship, but you saw them going out together, is that right?"

"I can't be sure about their relationship, but it's true that I saw them arguing fiercely, and it's also true that I saw them going out together."

Ji Yuan speaks the truth.

"Okay, then there's nothing else. Just wait here for our notification."

"Don't worry, there will be results within an hour."

The two law enforcement disciples left after they finished speaking.

Ji Yuan wasn't worried. He didn't bother to inquire about Pi Fangzhi's situation. Instead, he took out a pill-refining manual and carefully read through it. He squeezed out time for cultivation.

After waiting for about half an hour, he heard footsteps outside. When he looked up, he saw that it was an old acquaintance.

Square section.

But this time when he came, he had a noticeable smile on his face.

"Brother Ji."

Fang Jie bowed before even entering the door and said, "The situation was unclear before, and the hall discovered our relationship, so I cannot get involved. I am truly sorry."

"It's alright, Brother Fang, you're too kind."

Ji Yuan replied with a smile.

"Now that the investigation has been completed, you have nothing to do with this matter, and you can leave. Of course, if you want to stay and have a look around, I can show you around."

"No, no."

Ji Yuan revealed a look of fear.

In reality, he wasn't afraid; he just didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Good heavens, it seems our Enforcement Hall has truly become a place hated by everyone and even ghosts," Fang Jie chuckled.

"How could this be? This is clearly aboveboard, making us scheming, despicable people dare not approach."

Ji Yuan laughed along.

"Let's go, I'll see Brother Ji out."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan came out of the house, and then the two of them walked together towards the outside of the Law Enforcement Hall.

It was still night, and the lights in the Hall of Enforcement were not very bright, so it seemed somewhat dark.

"By the way, which gang did Du Wanyi go to?"

Unable to contact Ji Yuan, they could only try to get information from Fang Jie.

"Yes, he went to Shuiyitang and should be on duty in Qingye City now."

Fang Jie didn't reveal that it was him who helped with the arrangements. Some things are better left unsaid; there's no need to be too explicit.

"Aoba Castle?"

"That's a great place."

After hearing this, Ji Yuan's original worries disappeared by most.

Qingye City is located on the banks of the Falling Star River, east of the Water Dragon Sect. It is considered the core area of ​​the Water Dragon Sect, so normally there shouldn't be any problems.

If things really get out of hand in Qingye City, then the Water Dragon Sect will basically be finished.

"It's also because Fellow Daoist Du is strong and happened to be favored by Martial Uncle Qingning that he was taken to Qingye City. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this ability."

Fang Jie shook his head as he spoke, and his tone revealed a hint of envy.

"Regardless, I am already very grateful to Brother Fang."

As they spoke, the two left the Hall of Law Enforcement and returned to the Black Stone Square where Ji Yuan had first landed.

The square section stopped.

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to ask Tang Ran what exactly happened.

Before he could speak, Fang Jie stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Your neighbor... is a spy from the demonic path. You can keep an eye out for him when you get back and see if you can find any other clues. If you can find anything, it will be a great achievement."

"If you have any clues, you can come to my house to find me anytime."

A traitor from the demonic path... No wonder the sect has mobilized so much.

Ji Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I will."

"Brother Fang, please wait, I'll take my leave!"

Ji Yuan bowed slightly to him before summoning the Crimson Sky Boat and departing.

After Ji Yuan left, a sword light flashed out from the Hall of Law Enforcement, finally landing beside Fang Jie and transforming into a figure dressed in black robes.

Upon seeing him, Fang Jie quickly bowed and greeted him as "Captain".

The man in black robes hummed in agreement, then looked in the direction Ji Yuan had left without saying anything.

The two remained silent for a while before Fang Jie finally spoke, "Captain, my friend should be alright, right? Whether it's his background or his whereabouts after joining the sect, there's no way he could be involved with the demonic path. So... was it really necessary to set such a trap?"

The trap Fang Jie mentioned was naturally the last few words he said.

If Ji Yuan has any clues, then go find him.

When that time comes, the sect will give Ji Yuan great benefits, but at the same time, Ji Yuan will also be listed as a key target of the Enforcement Hall again.

"How can this be considered a trap? We'll just take the risk, no matter what."

The man in black robes let out a long sigh of relief. "Judging from the information he currently has, it's impossible for him to find any information about spies from the demonic path. If he could find it... there would be something fishy going on."

Fang Jie was still unwilling to give up and said again, "But if he really isn't a spy, and he really did find information about spies in the demonic path, then wouldn't we have wasted our time and wronged an innocent person?"

After listening, the man in black robes couldn't help but laugh and said, "If he really has this ability, what's wrong with recruiting him into the Enforcement Hall? Someone with this ability is a real person who gets things done, much better than those good-for-nothings in the hall right now."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jie shut up.

There are some things that only the team leader can say.

But if he said that, it would be taboo.

……

After leaving the Hall of Law Enforcement, Ji Yuan immediately forgot what Fang Jie had said.

He didn't even know any clues about the spies in the demonic path, so it was even more impossible for him to actively search for them.

Firstly, it's too difficult. Asking him to find clues that even the Enforcement Hall couldn't find is giving him too much credit.

Secondly, the struggle between good and evil would be a huge event.

Ji Yuancai was unwilling to get involved.

Even if they meet, he'll avoid them from afar, let alone actively participate.

So for him, this matter was basically over.

However, what Fang Jie said still weighed heavily on Ji Yuan's mind.

If there are demonic spies even within the Water Dragon Sect, what about outside?

If the Water Dragon Sect has one, then Medicine King Valley and even Sword Ruins, these forces, probably also have one.

Ji Yuan's biggest question was: where did the demonic cultivators' influence lie?

When Ji Yuan was in Yun Yu Ze, he thought that Huan Xi Palace was a demonic sect. However, after meeting Li Chang He, he learned from him that Huan Xi Palace was not a demonic sect.

For example, the Water Dragon Sect has now joined forces with the Joyful Palace.

Could it be that... the Demonic Sect is located west of Shang Mountain?

The Water Dragon Sect is only one of the Six Immortal Sects of Shangdong. What about the area west of Shangshan?

Or perhaps the demonic cultivators originated from overseas... It seems I should find out more about these things when I have time.

After spending the night in the Hall of Law Enforcement, by the time Ji Yuan returned to Chulong Island, it was already dawn. Without further delay, he made some preparations and then went to Dong Qian's house again.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Ji Yuan was much more natural today.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a short while, Dong Qian, who was wearing a loose purple robe but whose exquisite figure was still undeniable, opened the door.

The moment she saw Ji Yuan, her eyes lit up with joy, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Junior Brother Ji, what brings you here?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan was even more surprised than she was, and his voice was noticeably louder.

"Senior Sister Dong...it's you?!"

This, in turn, confused Dong Qian.

"What do you mean...? Why is it me?"

"Junior Brother Ji, don't you recognize me?"

Thank you baiyin for the 1000 spirit stones reward.
