On the second floor of an uninhabited building, across a main street, they could clearly see where Lu Zhuang was hiding.

The scene on the second floor could be simply summarized as:

A secret room, four large men in black, a tied-up, unconscious female Divine Constable (crossed out) female constable... 【Name: Zhao Jing】

【Age: 23】

【Bone Structure: Kangjin Dao Bone.】

【Realm: Guan Shen Nine Apertures.】

【Destiny: Purple with Black.】

【Evaluation: Head constable of the North Suburb Yamen, a Disciple of the Dijin Divine Constable, she hates evil as if it were her own enemy, a heroine who rivals men, with extraordinary talent, ranked Qianlong Twenty-Fifth. However, due to her overly straightforward nature, she was demoted to the North Suburb, where she is frustrated and discontent.】

【Recent Encounter: Repeatedly reported matters of the Demon Summoning Sect, but failed to gain the attention of her superiors. So she tracked them for many days and finally found Lu Zhuang as a starting point, intending to follow this person to uncover more, but found herself surrounded.】

“She’s not just an ordinary constable.”

Li Mo confirmed his thoughts, feeling a bit of a headache.

“Does this count as us kidnapping a government official?”

Murong Xiao was eating watermelon, his mouth stained blood-red.

Huang Donglai said helplessly, “Who told her not to listen to our explanation?”

“...With us dressed like this, and you poisoning while fighting, who could listen?!”

“This is what Brother Li taught me: poison doesn't need to be colorless or odorless; it needs to blend into the environment, making it impossible to guard against. That's why I created this Five Poisons Fist.”

“...”

Li Mo felt that if it had been him just now, he probably, maybe, should... also not have listened to any explanation.

Not just then, but even now!

“We are pretending to be members of the Demon Summoning Sect, not actual members of the Demon Summoning Sect.”

Li Mo emphasized.

“Does Brother Li still need to remind us of that?”

Huang Donglai, Xiao Qin, and Murong Xiao all nodded. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“Alright, wake her up and explain everything clearly.”

Splash—

Xiao Qin splashed a basin of water on her, giving her an instant bath.

Li Mo: “?”

Something seemed off.

It looked more like torturing a prisoner!

“Ngh...”

Zhao Jing shivered violently, startling awake as if from a deathbed, and when she opened her eyes to see her surroundings and her current predicament, she almost fainted again from fright.

She gritted her teeth, a look of humiliation on her valiant face:

“You shameless scoundrels, despicable villains! I won't say anything! If you have the guts, kill me!”

“...” What kind of excited declaration from a criminal was that?

“You need to calm down first.”

Li Mo released his Taiyin Intent Soul.

The clear light of Taiyin enveloped her, and a serene and peaceful Divine Intention flowed.

Zhao Jing’s agitated emotions were soothed. A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes; this Divine Intention was somewhat similar to Han Xianzi’s. How could someone from the Demon Summoning Sect possess such an Intent Soul?

“You must be the ones here to meet Lu Zhuang, dispatching four Guan Shen Realm experts at once, truly cautious...”

“No, we are also here investigating the Demon Summoning Sect.”

“Hehehe, at this point, just don’t...”

Zhao Jing’s words stopped abruptly before she could finish. She stared blankly at the person opposite her.

“We just didn’t expect that when we arrived, Lu Zhuang was already dead.”

Li Mo took off his hood.

Anyone who had seen the projection of the jiangshan sheji map yesterday would not be unfamiliar with this face.

God Hammer Little Overlord?

However, Li Mo was now wearing a black robe and had just let out a cackling laugh, which was somewhat strange... “You should recognize me. This is Huang Donglai, the one who fought with you earlier. He is known as Flying Poison Double-Faced Turtle, and his methods are indeed a bit... unconventional.”

“This is Xiao Qin, also a Disciple of my Qingyuan Sect.”

“This bald donkey is Monk Zang Ai...”

“?”

Murong Xiao’s face flushed. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Zhao Jing’s gaze on him at that moment, so he could only force a ferocious smile, his mouth full of watermelon juice.

“Hello, I am Monk Zang Ai, a Disciple of Hanging Temple.”

“Then why are you wearing the clothes of the Demon Summoning Sect and imitating their speech?”

Zhao Jing was bewildered, her CPU showing signs of overheating.

“This is to hide our identities. We were waiting for Lu Zhuang’s contact person to avoid alerting them. We acted expediently just now, not expecting to encounter you first...”

Li Mo quickly recounted the entire sequence of events.

Zhao Jing finally sorted out the details and nodded, “So that’s it, it’s a misunderstanding...”

But then she immediately asked, puzzled:

“The Qianlong Assembly is imminent, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) why are you expending energy to investigate divine power powder?”

“divine power powder causes great harm, and it is right to destroy it. Aren’t you and I also fellow travelers?” freeweɓnøvel.com

Xiao Li said with righteous indignation.

Facing this handsome and sunny face, Zhao Jing felt she couldn't refute him, and was even a little touched.

And so.

The Demon Summoning Sect Hundred Beast Hall’s four-person team became a five-person team.

The group discussed their strategy for later while quietly waiting for the contact person to appear.

An hour later, pedestrians came and went on the street.

Suddenly, a peddler carrying a pole appeared at the street corner. It must be said that his disguise was very thorough.

Unfortunately, under the Tianming Divine Eye, nothing could be hidden.

“That person is from the Demon Summoning Sect Blood Refinement Hall.”

“Don’t act rashly, proceed according to plan.”

...On the other side.

Buyun Tower.

Ying Bing, for once, slept through the entire night yesterday, to fully rest and adjust herself to her best state.

She changed into her taiyin liuxian dress, took out the Jie Shen Jade, and, after a moment of contemplation, decided to find a quiet, secluded place to use it.

The Heavenly Tribulation’s commotion would surely be significant.

If she didn't properly temper her Physical Body, how would she deal with that childish ghost whose Physical Body was comparable to a famous artifact?

Forty was already melted into Taibai, hammer treasure was playing with Xiao Yue, so could she believe he still carried a hammer with him?

Ying Bing got up and went to the main hall. The waiter at Buyun Tower immediately led her to her usual seat. A note was stuck on the table:

【Eat well, I'll be back tonight.】

“Where did he go?”

“The Qianlong Assembly is approaching, and he’s still running around...”

Ying Bing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She rubbed the boy with a large head’s head, and after eating, she walked out, thinking about this matter.

She walked through the bustling Dijin, from the prosperous Inner City, gradually reaching the outskirts of the city.

“He might have other things to attend to...”

Ying Bing looked up, her clear, cold eyes paused for a moment.

As far as she could see, both in front and behind her, the streets were chaotic and disordered.

Where was she?

“Where have I just passed through?”

The ever-strong Han Xianzi was unwilling to admit that she was lost again.

She seriously began to recall, and then she discovered... “Li Mo Road, Li Mo Street, Li Mo Alley...”

Ying Bing pursed her lips.

She activated her Taiyin Intent Soul, operating Communal Moon... Buzz—

Buzz—

Just now, the Hundred Beast Hall’s five-person team, led by Little Li, had successfully gained the peddler’s trust, mainly thanks to Xiao Li.

As everyone knew, he understood the Demon Summoning Sect very well.

The peddler was about to take them to their stronghold.

But at this very moment, a fluctuation from the Taiyin Intent Soul came.

Huang Donglai: “...”

Xiao Qin: “...”

Murong Xiao: “...”

Demon Summoning Sect peddler: “?”

Li Mo: “!”

When watching movies in the past, certain police and gangster films always had a phone suddenly ringing when the protagonist was hiding and tensions were high.

Li Mo never expected that one day he would encounter the same thing.

And it was in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
