_2 “The treasure in my hand,” I began, “is a novelty I contrived during a retreat.

Its sole function is to detect lies.

“Should the person being tested lie, the sphere will flash red light.”

Having said that, Li Ping’an held the sphere in his left hand and presented it before an elderly Heavenly Immortal of the Zhao family, asking with a smile, “May I have your name?”

This person remained composed and replied with a bow, “My lord, my unworthy name is Zhao Wanyuan.”

The sphere flashed green.

Li Ping’an asked, “Have you ever committed acts of treachery or corruption?”

“My lord, following my great grandfather’s teachings, I have never committed such misdeeds!”

Hum, hum!

The sphere shone red and vibrated intensely.

Li Ping’an and the elder from the Zhao family frowned at the same time.

“Oh ho!”

Li Ping’an took a half step back and hurriedly exclaimed, “Three Alliances!

Send two Golden Immortals to take this man down for a memory inspection!

There seems to be an unexpected discovery!”

“I’ll go!”

Two high-ranking officials of the East Alliance directly emerged behind Elder Tianli, capturing the old Heavenly Immortal from thin air and whisking him away to a corner.

Hints of change appeared on the face of the elderly Golden Immortal, Zhao Linju.

The faces of the immortals seated in the hall changed.

Li Ping’an, holding the sphere, strolled up to a second elder of the Zhao family, squinted and smiled, “Have you ever committed acts of treachery or corruption?”

This old Heavenly Immortal’s mouth twitched slightly, but he nodded directly, “I have, I have!”

Li Ping’an jumped back half a step in anger and barked, “To admit it so blatantly, do you have no shame?

Guards!”

Several nearby warriors shouted in unison, “Your subordinates are here!”

“Take him away for punishment!

Do it until he comes clean about his misdeeds!”

“Yes!”

“My lord, I have not lied, my lord!”

Li Ping’an was unmoved, and soon a scream was heard from outside the hall.

The seating arrangement of these Zhao family members was based on their cultivation level, with several True Immortals behind them, both old women and young faces included.

Li Ping’an continued to walk forward.

His smile appeared warm, but to the Zhao family members, it might as well have been accompanied by a sinister ‘hehehe.'”

“Esteemed senior, you…”

“Li Ping’an!”

An old immortal official rose from his seat in the hall and berated, “The Three Alliances requested you to investigate the missing treasury case, yet here you are creating trouble.

What are you trying to achieve?”

“What am I trying to achieve?”

Li Ping’an slightly turned his head, looked at the old immortal official, and replied indifferently, “I am the second-ranked Inspector bestowed by the Emperor himself, holding the Xuanyuan sword order.

It is my duty to oversee the East Alliance’s immortal officials, punish the wicked and remove evil, and protect the righteous path of our Human Race.

“While investigating the treasury theft, I discovered some who act treacherously and lawlessly.

How can I not deal with them?

How can I not investigate?

“And you!”

Li Ping’an turned around, as Xing He and Xinghan stood behind him, staring angrily.

“When I’m investigating the Zhao family, you suddenly jump out and accuse me.

Could it be that you’re colluding with the Zhao family, conspiring for the treasures of the treasury?”

The man retorted angrily, “You spout nonsense!”

“Guards!” Li Ping’an slightly raised his head, “Bring his family here for questioning!”

“Yes!”

A large number of immortal soldiers echoed loudly from outside the hall, eagerly dashing towards the secret realm to arrest people.

The old immortal official from the Heavenly Immortal Realm tried to speak, but a golden ring flew towards him and trapped him on the spot.

Li Ping’an said indifferently, “I was merely investigating a case of theft, and I didn’t wish to cause any additional trouble.

But if I see evil and don’t punish it, what is the point of my position as an Inspector?

How can I face the great Human Emperor again?”

“Ah—”

A sudden scream came from outside the hall.

Many immortals shuddered.

In the corner of the Immortal Palace, the high-ranking officials of the East Alliance, who were inspecting the memory of the Zhao family’s old Heavenly Immortal, suddenly burst into curses:

“You scoundrel!

I’ll tear you apart!”

“Hey, hey, hey!”

Another high-ranking official of the East Alliance hastily restrained the agitated elder, who kicked out furiously, sending the old Heavenly Immortal sprawling into the corner, vomiting blood, his Primordial Spirit severely injured.

Li Ping’an asked, “Senior, what are the charges against this man?”

“He deserves death!

A hundred deaths!”

That high-ranking official of the East Alliance raged, “This bastard!

He’s lived for 13,000 years and committed countless atrocities!

In his youth, he roamed outside, violated dozens of women, and then captured them to keep in his backyard like dogs!

Similar heinous acts abound!

“He treated the East Continent as his playground, even posing as Demon Cultivators to do evil deeds, only to flee back to his private soldier garrison in the secret realm when pursued by the immortal soldiers!”

“This Zhao Linju turned a blind eye to it all!

“This man’s memory is so filthy!

Filthy!”

Li Ping’an ordered, “Xing He and Xinghan!”

“We are here!”

“Verify his memories and if it’s as the senior has said, drag him out to be beheaded and display his head publicly.”

“Yes!”

Xing He and Xinghan responded loudly, flew to the corner, grabbed the Zhao family’s Heavenly Immortal like a dead dog, and pulled him out of the hall.

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and waited.

Outside the hall, the Heavenly Immortal, who was being punished, emitted howls of agony.

Soon the head of another Heavenly Immortal was thrown into the air, with dense Spiritual Energy dissipating into the atmosphere.

“Good!”

Outside, Ye Zisang led the crowd in a cheer, and the onlookers echoed with praise.

Inside the hall, Li Ping’an looked at the Zhao family’s old True Immortal women with a smile, as two Golden Immortal warriors took initiative to stand behind him, protecting the not-so-capable official.

“Have you committed any acts of treachery or corruption?”

“I have, some…

My lord, please spare my life!”

The old woman bent her knees and knelt directly, with the Zhao family members behind her also falling to their knees.

Looking at the old Golden Immortal, Zhao Linju.

His face was deathly pale, his breath was disordered, a trace of fresh blood tinged his lips, his gaze was dazed, and he made no attempt to wipe it away.

…

The efficiency of immortals in handling cases is indeed high.

In less than an hour, more than a dozen heads hung outside the hall, and the rest of the Zhao family had been taken away to endure the punishments of thunder and fire, to be imprisoned afterward in the secret realm’s prisons.
