I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"So...cool..."

Cheng Laiyun didn't even see how Gao Heyun drew her knife.

In the blink of an eye, she saw Gao Heyun sheath her knife.

The cold blade silently went into its sheath.

Gao Heyun didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground. She hugged the scabbard back to her chest and looked expressionlessly at Magistrate Wei Xianjun.

Wei Xianjun was stunned by the sudden situation.

His mouth gaped open, his face blank.

"This...this..."

The servant standing nearby, looking at the blood-soaked corpse on the ground, began to tremble and curled up to the side.

Xu Jiayin and Cheng Laiyun also landed at this moment, got off the flying torch, and followed behind Gao Heyun.

"Lord Gao, what exactly is going on?" Wei Xianjun, being the magistrate of a county, was shocked. He tried to calm himself down, swallowed, and looked at Gao Heyun.

"Let's go in first."

Gao Heyun did not explain, but spoke calmly, and then took the lead and walked into the cave.

Wei Xianjun hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and followed.

Cheng Laiyun looked at his face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and without saying much, led Xu Jiayin into the cave.

After entering the cave...

It was entirely Gao Heyun's performance.

She always manages to spot hidden figures in unexpected corners and then eliminate them in a matter of moments.

It wasn't until everyone followed her out of the cave to the other side that they saw a completely different world.

"Pfft~"

After seeing the scenery ahead clearly.

Magistrate Wei Xianjun's pupils dilated in shock, his mouth gaped open, and he collapsed to the ground.

In front.

It is a field of about three acres in size.

Unlike ordinary fields, the soil in this field is pitch black.

The rice plants growing in the soil faintly emitted a special kind of light.

Spirit rice, spirit fields!

This is a huge platform!

It's a platform that stretches across the middle of a cliff!

At the end of the field, three sides are sheer cliffs.

If it weren't for careful consideration, who would have thought that there would be a spiritual field nestled within this towering cliff?

"Some people under your jurisdiction are privately cultivating sacred fields, Lord Wei."

"Explain yourself."

Gao Heyun's phoenix eyes seemed to be filled with knives, sharply slicing towards Wei Xianjun.

Her voice contained not a trace of emotion.

"I...I...I don't know..." Wei Xianjun was almost crying.

"Thank God!"

"I'm over sixty this year, and I'm thinking of working for the last two years, then going back to my hometown to be with my grandchildren..."

He served two consecutive terms as county magistrate, intending to neither make any great achievements nor commit any mistakes, and was just waiting to return to his hometown and retire after taking office.

And then, just before I was leaving, this happened in Yong'an County?

Anyone would be stunned in this situation.

Cultivating sacred fields without permission is a grave sin.

Even if he was unaware of the situation, he, as the county magistrate, is absolutely culpable!

"Jiayin." Gao Heyun didn't believe a word he said and calmly looked up at Xu Jiayin.

"receive!"

Xu Jiayin took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, then poured out a light green pill. She smiled and walked up to Wei Xianjun, handing the pill to her.

"This is a Soul-Guiding Pill specially made by the Medical Sect."

"Anyone below the sixth rank will be completely disoriented upon consuming this substance, and will be able to answer any question asked. Does Magistrate Wei dare to submit?"

……

Wei Xianjun's body trembled.

How could he not know about the Soul-Guiding Pill from the Medical Sect?

He just stood there, his throat bobbing, frozen in place.

"What's wrong?"

"You dare not?"

Xu Jiayin raised her eyebrows, blinked, and looked innocently at Wei Xianjun.

At the same time, Gao Heyun squinted her eyes.

Her fair right hand gradually climbed onto the hilt of the sword, and an aura of majesty and power slowly pressed outward from her body, her voice indifferent:

"When handling cases, the Regent's Office may execute first and report later in case of emergency."

Her voice was devoid of any emotion.

The meaning is very clear.

If you don't eat, I'll kill you.

Because now the evidence is conclusive.

"Clothes……"

"I admit defeat..."

Wei Xianjun opened her mouth, but her aged body collapsed completely to the ground.

He doesn't want to die.

At the very least, I don't want to die right now.

Without hesitation, Xu Jiayin threw the pill in her hand into his mouth.

The pills melt in your mouth.

A moment later.

Wei Xianjun's body trembled violently.

Then his eyes became lifeless.

He sat on the ground as if he were in a daze.

Gao Heyun's melodious voice rang out:

"Are you aware that Tian Jiude is privately cultivating sacred fields?"

As the voice faded, Cheng Laiyun immediately turned his gaze to Wei Xianjun.

Wei Xianjun opened her mouth blankly and said, "I know."

He knew it all along!

Gao Heyun's face was gloomy as she continued to ask questions:

Were you involved?

"No," Wei Xianjun said, still dazed. "I wouldn't dare."

Upon hearing this answer...

Gao Heyun's expression brightened slightly.

Knowing something but not participating, and not knowing something but participating, are two extreme situations and two extreme results.

She frowned and asked:

Why?

"The death of the previous magistrate was related to the Tian family." Wei Xianjun's face seemed somewhat fearful.

A simple sentence.

In an instant, the case was escalated into a major and extremely serious incident!

"What do you know?" Gao Heyun's imposing aura pressed down on everyone's hearts like Mount Tai.

Clearly, she was not at peace.

However, Wei Xianjun's body twitched at this moment, and then he simply fainted.

The scene fell silent.

Weird.

Gao Heyun stared at the spiritual field with a furrowed brow.

"He's fainted," Cheng pointed at Wei Xianjun, reminding her cautiously.

"I woke up in half an hour." Xu Jiayin waved her hand dismissively and looked at Gao Heyun:

"Sister Gao, what should we do next?"

"Wait," Gao Heyun said coldly. "Tian Jiude's entourage should arrive soon."

"But before that, we need to find traces of Tian Jiude in this spiritual field."

……

Wei Xianjun woke up, his face ashen, and sat on the ground.

He watched the group searching through the spirit field without saying a word.

Gao Heyun glanced at him indifferently:

"Let's look for it together once we wake up."

Wei Xianjun turned her head away, pretending not to hear.

Gao Heyun's lips twitched slightly.

She could tell that the old man was completely oblivious to everything else.

"If sufficient evidence can be found, you will be considered to have redeemed yourself through meritorious service," Gao Heyun said expressionlessly.

Ok?

Wei Xianjun's eyes lit up.

He then quickly stood up from the ground, a fawning smile on his face:

"I happen to have some knowledge of the Agricultural Department's Spirit Gathering Plate."

Cheng Laiyun looked at him curiously.

Miss Xu just explained it to him.

To cultivate a place where spirit rice can be grown, you need spirit fields.

A spiritual field, on the other hand, implies the need for abundant spiritual energy.

It must be a perfect place formed naturally by heaven and earth.

Either it's because people do it.

Agricultural cultivation involves a method that can gather spiritual energy in the fields.

They are now searching for the source of Tian Jiude's spiritual energy.

"The one who gathers spirits is located in the center."

"The direction of the spirit gathering field is called south."

"The southern region is the most suitable place for a spirit-gathering disc..."

Wei Xianjun, acting strangely, followed the others as they wandered through the spirit field.

have to say.

The old man is definitely something.

With his help, in less than a quarter of an hour, the group dug out a palm-sized spirit plate radiating rich spiritual energy in the direction he pointed out!

The spirit plate bears an inscription: Tian Jiude, a second-class disciple in agricultural cultivation.

To date, the evidence is complete!

"Hehe." Wei Xianjun smiled shyly, then looked at Gao Heyun ingratiatingly:

"Lord Gao, wouldn't this be considered a way for me to atone for my crimes through meritorious service?"

Gao Heyun, holding the Spirit Gathering Plate, glanced at him expressionlessly, offering no reply. She simply placed the plate in her bosom and waved her hand dismissively.

"Arrest Tian Jiude!"

…………

On the winding mountain path.

A horse-drawn carriage, its wheels creaking, swayed and lurched as it headed towards a certain spot in the mountains.

The servant driving the carriage looked extremely wary.

He moved gently, not daring to make a loud sound as he cracked the whip.

As time went by.

The carriage eventually stopped in front of a cave.

Just as the servant got off the carriage, a cold flash suddenly appeared.

"Don't move."

The knife was already pressed against the servant's neck.

Gao Heyun's figure had already appeared behind the servant without anyone noticing.

She glanced into the carriage and said indifferently:

"Tian Jiude".

"Privately cultivating spiritual fields."

"Disregarding human life."

"Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, and I am here, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without exception."

However, the little servant in front of her, pale-faced, disregarded the cold blade at his neck and suddenly pulled out a three-inch-long firework from his pocket, about to pull it upwards without saying a word.

"Huh?!" Gao Heyun's expression suddenly turned cold; her reaction was much faster than that of the servant.

With a slight flick of the wrist, the cold blade changed many movements.

"Snap!"

The servant's hands had been cleanly severed.

It fell to the ground along with the fireworks.

Just before the servant's scream rang out.

The blade had already grazed his throat.

With a muffled thud, the corpse fell to the ground.

But at this moment, Gao Heyun's expression was extremely unpleasant; she stared at the carriage with an uncertain look in her eyes.

"Tian Jiude is not in the carriage."

Cheng Laiyun stepped forward and lifted the lid of the carriage.

Sure enough, the carriage was empty!

666!

A cunning rabbit has three burrows!

It's truly impressive that a low-ranking official in a county can be so vigilant!

This carriage is a decoy! The real Tian Jiude should still be behind!

Fortunately, Gao Heyun was agile.

Cut the signal flare in the servant's hand; if he really manages to release it...

"To be on the safe side, we can't just wait around; we need to take the initiative." Cheng Laiyun looked at Gao Heyun without hesitation.

Gao Heyun had the same idea.

She nodded indifferently to Cheng Laiyun: "I have already cleared out the thieves here, so you can wait here without worry."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jiayin again:

"Good news, may I borrow your torch?"

"good!"

In the blink of an eye.

Cheng Laiyun watched as the young lady controlled the flying torch, carrying Wei Xianjun and Gao Heyun away into the distance.

Before long, it had disappeared into the horizon.

……

"Alright."

Cheng Laiyun yawned listlessly.

The flying torch can carry a maximum of three people.

Gao Heyun was naturally worried about leaving Wei Xianjun alone here.

So we have no choice but to keep him.

"Hmm, since there's nobody here anyway... I'll hide some spirit rice; hopefully no one will know, right?"

Cheng Laiyun looked towards the cave, his eyes shining with a gleam.

You know, that spirit field is a full three acres in size. If it's a little less spirit rice, who would know?

I heard that one mu of spiritual land can only produce about ten jin of top-grade spiritual rice.

That's a priceless treasure!

Thinking of this, Cheng Laiyun was already quite impatient.

Just as he was preparing to take action.

Areas beyond the reach of peripheral vision.

A purple, thorny vine suddenly leaped up from the ground without a sound!

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Laiyun was completely wrapped in vines and tightly bound!

"Grass??!"

Cheng Laiyun looked up in shock, gazing in the direction from which the vines had originated.

carriage!!

Under the carriage!

With a click, the carriage floor opened from the middle like a door.

A chubby figure crawled out.

"Cheng Laiyun...we meet again."

The chubby figure leisurely patted the dust off his body.

He then looked up, revealing a chilling smile, and then, as if remembering something, slapped his forehead:

"Oh, I forgot, you probably don't remember me anymore."

"I am Tian Jiude."

Damn it...

Cheng Laiyun's expression was rather grim as he looked at the severed hand on the ground, still clutching a firework. Was this also a decoy?

To make something appear real when it is empty, and to make something appear empty when it is real?

That bastard, he's really playing dirty tricks!!

You're like a fucking sow wearing a bra, one after another!

With such a method of concealment, even a god would fall into the trap!

As Tian Jiude spoke, he walked to the horse in front of him, smiled, took out a knife from his pocket, and gently stroked the horse's head:

"Don't be afraid, little one, the pain will subside soon."

Then, the blade flashed!

The horse didn't even have time to scream before it collapsed to the ground.

Tian Jiude squatted on the ground, cut open the horse's belly, and took out a bead that emitted a mysterious light.

He wiped the blood off the bead and put it in his pocket, a gentle smile on his face the entire time.

"Since we can't stay in Yong'an County any longer, we have no choice but to leave."

"But before that..."

For the first time, a ferocious glint appeared on his smiling face, and his eyes, which looked as if he were looking at a dead man, glanced at Cheng Laiyun.

Cheng Laiyun's pupils dilated violently.

because.

He had seen beads like those before!

Right in Gao Heyun's room!

The Ink Sect, the Mysterious Pearl!

The energy that powers the Jade Pivot statue!

But why is there still one?!
