"Let's go, it's time to 'borrow' two suitable identities." Ye Feng stood up, and the image of the honest and humble middle-aged man on his face quietly changed again. This time, he turned into a thin monk with a sallow complexion and lewd eyes.
……
At the same time, Tianshu Peak.
The originally polluted "Xunfeng" node has been shrouded in a more powerful golden light curtain.
Ling Jianxin stood with his hands behind his hands, looking expressionlessly at the "Heart-Corrupting Demon" who was still stubbornly struggling in the light curtain.
Luo Li stood behind him with a respectful expression, but there was a trace of unwillingness hidden deep in his eyes.
"How's the investigation going?" Ling Jianxin said.
"Report to Senior Brother Ling." Luo Li bowed and said, "All the demon cultivators in the city above the Nascent Soul stage, as well as the sects and families involved in the demonic way, have been included in the list and are being investigated one by one. However... we have not yet found the aura that has the same origin as this 'Heart-eroding Demonic Evil'."
"Trash." Ling Jianxin spat out two words coldly.
Luo Li's delicate body trembled slightly, she lowered her head and clenched her fists.
"This group of trash in Tianxuan City has been raised for so many years and they don't even know the details of their own formation. You, as the inspector of the Holy Land, were played like a monkey, and in the end you only caught an insignificant pawn. You all let me down."
Ling Jianxin turned around, his sharp eyes made Luo Li's heart tremble.
"This is what my senior brother taught me."
"In addition to the pure origin of the devil, there is also another kind of power mixed in this demon." Ling Jianxin stretched out a finger, and a weak, almost imperceptible gray aura was forcibly peeled out from the golden light screen and suspended on the fingertips.
This aura dissipated quickly as soon as it left the formation, but the faint hint of starry meaning contained in it made Luo Li's pupils shrink suddenly.
"Is this...the power of the stars?"
"It seems that you are not stupid enough yet." Ling Jianxin retracted his fingers and his eyes became darker. "Being able to perfectly integrate two completely different original powers into the core of the formation under the eyes of the great tribulation master, and also be able to hide it from the sky. Do you think an ordinary demon cultivator can do this?"
Luo Li's heart sank instantly.
She thought of that "ancient style" and his unpredictable formation attainments.
Could it be that... he is not a demon cultivator? Or is he more than just a demon cultivator?
"This person's understanding of the formation far exceeds that of you and me. What's even more frightening is that his control over the origin has reached an unbelievable level." Ling Jianxin's tone, for the first time, was solemn, "He may not be from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even his real purpose is not to help the Heavenly Demon. Zong."
He paused and said word by word: "He is... testing. Testing this formation, testing Tianxuan City, and even testing the bottom line of the Holy Land."
Luo Li felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
If this is true, then the scheming and courage of this "ancient style" have reached an appalling level.
"Give me the order." Ling Jianxin said coldly, "Expand the search scope of the 'Tianjing Mirror' from the demonic aura to all monks who master advanced formations and possess the 'Star Technique'. No matter who he is or which sect he comes from, as long as there is suspicion, he will... be taken down!"
"Yes!" Luo Li was shocked in her heart and immediately accepted the order.
She knew that Ling Jianxin was really murderous this time.
An indiscriminate purge targeting the entire Tianxuan City monks is about to begin.
At this time, in a remote black market in the north of the city.
Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen were standing in front of a stall selling various identity jade tokens and forged documents.
"Boss, are you keeping your status? Don't let the big men of the Law Enforcement Hall find out. When the time comes, it will be a small thing for us brothers to lose our heads, but it will be a big thing to smash your sign." Ye Feng faced that wretched face and lowered his voice, just like a casual cultivator who wanted to take advantage but was afraid of death.
The stall owner is a one-eyed dragon. He smiled and showed his yellow teeth: "Don't worry, I, the one-eyed Liu, are engaged in this brain-destroying business, and my reputation is the first. Of these two identities, one is a gambler who died in the Ecstasy yesterday, and the other is a refiner the day before yesterday. The drug addict who was burned was innocent and had no evidence to prove his death. The aura rubbings were just peeled off the corpse. It's still hot! Hey, can it reveal the dead as well as the living? "
"Okay, deal!"
Ye Feng readily paid the spirit stone and got two brand-new identity jade tokens.
Just as he was about to leave with Xiao Wuhen, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the corner of the black market, quietly pushing a note to a passing man in black.
That figure looks familiar.
With a thought in Ye Feng's mind, powerful spiritual consciousness spread quietly over like invisible tentacles.
He "saw" the figure's face clearly.
It was the Tianxuan City deacon whom he and the Tianxuan City disciples were "watching" in the alley before.
On the piece of paper he handed over, there was a line of words written in a special secret language.
"The Xun wind has changed, and the stars are the guide, quickly check the "Tianji Pavilion"."
Tianji Pavilion?
Ye Feng’s brows raised slightly.
It is the largest organization in Tianxuan City that sells information and techniques. It has a mysterious background. It is said that even the Holy Land has to give some face.
This Tianxuan City deacon is actually delivering news to outsiders? Moreover, the content of the message directly points to the key point of "stars".
There is a mole!
And this insider seems to know some inside stories that others don’t know.
The corner of Ye Feng's mouth evoked a playful smile.
It seems that the water in Tianxuan City is much deeper than he imagined.
He said to Xiao Wuhen beside him: "Let's go, let's follow, there's a good show to watch."
The night was like spilled ink.
The curfew in Tianxuan City came early under the iron fist of the Law Enforcement Hall. The streets that were still somewhat lively during the day were now completely deserted, with only teams of silver-armored guards walking back and forth like ghosts, holding magic weapons that exuded a cold light.
There was a suffocating depression in the air.
In the west of the city, in a private room on the second floor called "Jingxin Teahouse".
The Tianxuan City deacon who was delivering news in the black market during the day was sitting upright with a trace of unconcealable nervousness on his face.
Opposite him, sat a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and an elegant face. The man was playing with two smooth jade balls in his hands, his expression was leisurely, which was in sharp contrast to the deacon's nervousness.
"Deacon Wang, you don't have to be so reserved." The middle-aged man smiled and said in a gentle voice, "The news you sent this time is of great value. The host is very satisfied."
"Serving Tianji Pavilion is... it is what you should do." Deacon Wang smiled dryly, but beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
He is just an unsuccessful outer sect deacon in Tianxuan City. He was bribed by Tianji Pavilion accidentally, and he usually only spreads some trivial matters within the sect. He never imagined that the few words he overheard this time would actually lead to a personal interview with the second person in charge of "Tianji Pavilion" in Tianxuan City, "Mr. Wen".
"The poster has an order." The smile on Mr. Wen's face remained unchanged. "At all costs, find out who is behind the "Stars as Guides". At the same time, find a way to draw the attention of the Law Enforcement Hall to other people."
"To lead to... other people?" Deacon Wang was stunned.
