Chapter 205: Chapter 65: Seeing Heaven and Earth (1/3)

"No, please, spare me, Your Honor!"

Seeing the Imperial Seal Document being brought out, Zheng Mo’s soul nearly left his body, and for a moment, he even forgot the pain of the backlash.

He lunged forward and grabbed hold of Inspector Cao’s feet: "In my years of service to the country and the people, I may not have made any noticeable achievements, but I’ve toiled tirelessly, please spare my life, Your Honor!"

He was truly in agony, crying so hard that tears and snot were running down his face—yes, for many years he indeed had only been skimming through days under Shu Zheng’s command, even forgetting his own duties, but these past few days, he had indeed tried his best to fight against the True Demon Sect, safeguarding the Earth Vein of Kanming City!

Although without the help of Dust Li and Jing Xuan, he hadn’t managed to accomplish much, at least his intentions were good, so why should he be stripped of his rank and Talisman?

But how could he have guessed that it was his own superior who conspired with the Heavenly Demon, and Inspector Cao, who failed to complete his task, was not concerned with such matters, his anger peaking and now just wanting to vent.

"Report!"

But it came suddenly, though not unexpectedly.

With a wisp of smoke condensing out of thin air and floating before Inspector Cao, a blurry figure of a Mystery Armor Guard saluted the void, then began to report to Inspector Cao: "Your Honor, we have found the body of Centurion Chen, who was in charge of the Lesser Yin Node!"

"He was beheaded with a single blow, his blood drained from his body, the Dharma Gate he used is unclear, it seems not to be ordinary Martial Arts, but rather... a foreign technique from beyond the heavens!"

"It’s very likely that an expert from the True Demon Sect ambushed Centurion Chen and used a special method to block his communication!"

"Oh?" Hearing this news, even Inspector Cao momentarily lost the energy to discipline Zheng Mo, turning his head with a frown and saying, "What about the ’seal’?"

"The ’seal’ has also been severed!"

The inquired Mystery Armor Guard understood at once. They all knew that the ’seal’ was for polluting the Earth Vein of Kanming City, which was also one of their missions, but it had failed due to the Six Yang Mystical Mirror.

This was the real reason for Inspector Cao’s fury.

"Even the seal could be severed..."

Hearing this, Inspector Cao frowned deeply, aware of the gravity of the method used.

Even he would have had to go to great lengths to quietly eliminate the concentrated Demonic Qi of the Great Heavenly Demon, and theoretically, in Kanming City where not even a Guardian Grandmaster was present, no one should have been able to destroy the seal by brute force.

Unless... there was a Magic Artifact specifically for slaughtering demons.

Unless... it was the Heavenly Demon itself!

"Could it be that the True Demon Sect has betrayed us, wanting to monopolize the clues?!"

With this thought, Inspector Cao immediately heightened his vigilance—even though they were allies in the quest to find Princess Mingjing, they were always at risk of betraying each other!

Inspector Cao himself did not dare to uncover the truth behind Princess Mingjing’s capture, but those madmen of the Heavenly Demon likely knew... which is why they used every method available to capture the other party!

"Lock down the entire city!"

As swift as a thought, Inspector Cao commanded in a deep voice: "Have the other Mystery Armor Guards defend the Earth Vein, and the entire local City Guard Army of Kanming City mobilize immediately, sealing all surrounding streets, and identifying all suspicious individuals!"

After rapidly issuing many orders, it was only then that he remembered the half-dead Zheng Mo lying on the side.

Looking at Zheng Mo, Inspector Cao felt somewhat embarrassed at that moment.

If, indeed, the Heavenly Demon had its own scheme, planning to betray their cooperation and capture Princess Mingjing alone, then what Zheng Mo had done was right, and neither in reason nor in emotion should he strip him of his Talisman as punishment.

But after all this, having brought out the Imperial Seal Document... he couldn’t just not strip away some Talisman, could he?

Struggling without an excuse to back down, just as Inspector Cao decided to harden his heart and cripple Zheng Mo,

a flash of golden light swept through, and then, the official courtyard was joined by a white-haired martial artist with his eyes tightly shut—a True Person had arrived.

The Divine Repository True Person, bearing the "Six Yang Mystical Mirror - Bright Light Dust," had arrived at this place.

"Brother Cao, why trouble yourself over a junior?"

Upon his arrival, he stepped forward and raised his hand as if to press down Inspector Cao’s upraised hand holding the document, speaking in a mild and amiable tone, "I have been lurking in this city for a long time. This City Magistrate has done everything within his power. To punish him further would be excessively demanding."

"Do not meddle in Da Chen’s internal affairs!"

Inspector Cao widened his eyes in retort, "This is a matter for Da Chen alone. He must be punished for his shortcomings, and as an inspector empowered by heaven and earth, my authority is limitless. Don’t think I will spare you face just because you plead!"

"I’m merely suggesting,"

Mingguang Dust, upon hearing the underlying message of ’begging for mercy,’ couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. With a sense of helplessness, he said, "This Magistrate Zheng has been the guardian of this city for decades, his destiny intertwined with it. With him here, activating the Earth Vein Great Formation, sealing off Ming City, and searching the surrounding Snow Domain would be much more convenient."

"Why push him to a dead end so directly? To be allowed to redeem oneself through meritorious deeds is also a viable option."

"That does make sense."

With such a reasonable suggestion, Inspector Cao naturally seized the opportunity to step down gracefully. He put away the Imperial Seal Document and then lifted his hand to point at Zheng Mo.

Instantly, all sorts of information about the Earth Veins and the power that accompanied them returned to Zheng Mo, alleviating the agony in his body substantially in an instant.

And Zheng Mo, having had his life saved, first kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Inspector Cao, then turned and kowtowed to the True Master Mysterious Mirror, loudly proclaiming the discernment of the two dignitaries, as if he had been reborn.

"Alright, that’s enough,"

Inspector Cao said, losing patience, "This time, consider it an opportunity bestowed by True Master Mysterious Mirror. Go and give it your all!"

"As for now, merge with the Earth Veins! I will assist you, using the power of the Earth Veins to inspect the entire city!"

Meanwhile,

Ruohui, who had been listening to the conversation between An Jing and Granny Huai, suddenly stood up with an agitated expression, saying, "This is bad!"

"There’s a change in the Earth Veins of Ming City... A powerful being is displaying the Divine Skill ’Seeing the Heavens and Earth,’ planning to capture me by tracing all disturbances in the Earth Veins!"

"Can you hide?"

Hearing this news, An Jing also had no time to continue discussing with Granny Huai. He immediately stood up, ready to open the Great Void Passage at any time.

Of course, he was well aware that Ruohui wasn’t someone easily captured—if merely deploying a Divine Skill would expose her, she would have had no chance of escaping to Ming City.

"This time it’s different!"

Yet Ruohui spoke very solemnly, "This place is on the frontier of Da Chen... The power of the Earth Veins I can utilize here is incredibly scarce!"

"Not to mention, just now, I exposed a bit of my strength to suppress the Earth Veins and help you... Although it should fade quickly, if it were to be discovered..."

At this point in her speech, even though Ruohui was still veiled, it was entirely evident that her face had gone pale.

But it wasn’t long before she came to her senses and forced a smile, saying, "Fortunately, my caution has been effective all along... I’ve never appeared in front of anyone, and as long as I conceal myself and leave this place alone, even if I’m discovered, it won’t implicate you."

"It’s a pity, but, Granny, Jing Xuan... it’s time to part ways for now."
