The feminine man sneered and said: "A mere brat in the fifth realm dares to claim the title of king. No matter what the reason is for that woman, killing the court official and bloodbathing the county government have violated the bottom line and dignity of the court. She must be driven to pieces!"
Chen Juncheng walked out with a puff of his sleeves, and the two parted unhappy.
Capt. Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Chen Juncheng said: "Compile the files of complaints from the people of Yang County and send them to the county government. Send people to suppress the evil spirits causing trouble in various places in Yang County. Be careful of King Chu Jiang's men..."
Lieutenant Shen stepped forward and said: "Although she died unjustly, she did violate the court's bottom line. If she cannot be brought to justice, it will be Beijun's fault. The court will not be able to explain it."
"I'm worried about King Chujiang." Chen Juncheng said with a serious face: "King Chujiang must have some purpose in coming to Beijun. The longer he stays here, the bigger his plan becomes. Now, he has ten men under his command. If the six soul-level ghosts are able to subdue this evil spirit, his power will definitely increase..."
"We need to be careful about him." Commander Shen nodded and asked, "I heard that they asked for help from the Ancestral Court of the Fulu Sect. Have you received any reply?"
"got rejected."
Chen Juncheng snorted coldly and said: "The evil spirit in the fifth realm must be conquered by the leader of all the peaks. The Fulu Sect heard that this woman died because of injustice. Before she died, she resonated with the world and turned into an evil spirit. She refused. If we take action, they can't even enter the mountain gate..."
…
In the past few days, Li Mu's task at the Yang County government office was to sort out the files, and he would hear about the evil spirit every day.
Lieutenant Chen has been chasing her, but he has never caught up with her.
The imperial court also sent an imperial envoy to supervise the officials of Beijun to get rid of the evil spirit who had offended the court's reputation and bottom line. They also offered large rewards to attract practitioners from Beijun.
A large part of the practitioners sympathized with the evil spirit and were unwilling to take action, but the generous reward did attract a large number of people.
However, they worked together to suppress the evil spirit many times, but never succeeded.
All the practitioners who surrounded and suppressed the evil spirit had their mana drained away. Although their lives were preserved, the foundation of their practice was destroyed, and they could only become mortals in the future.
It is said that the imperial court once sent people to Baiyun Mountain for help, but they were rejected by the ancestral court of the Fulu Sect.
The Taoist sect's cultivation emphasizes conforming to the way of heaven, so naturally it will not take action against the wronged soul recognized by the way of heaven. The Fulu Sect will not take action. In this North County, no one can do anything about the evil spirit for the time being.
As more and more villains died under her hands, and as she absorbed the magic power of those practitioners, her strength also increased day by day.
The imperial envoy has already sent someone to ask for help, and he expects more powerful practitioners to come here soon.
Bai Tingxin has been much quieter these days, and is wary of everyone around her. She sneaks into the duty room where Li Mu is and asks anxiously: "Do you think that evil spirit will come to me?"
Li Mu looked up at her and asked, "Why is she looking for you?"
Bai Tingxin said worriedly: "Didn't you say that she has killed many bad guys in the past few days? I, I have sucked people's yang energy before, will she come to kill me?"
Li Mu finally understood the reason for her fear these days, and comforted her: "Don't worry, she won't come to you."
Bai Tingxin felt a little relieved and asked again: "Why?"
Li Mudao: "Those people she killed were all evil people who had committed many crimes. They deserved to die. Although you also made mistakes, your crimes are not worthy of death."
Bai Ting felt reassured and asked curiously: "How does she know which people are evil people and which people are good people?"
Li Mu explained: "People who have killed people will have evil spirits, resentment, and blood entangled in them, and they must also lack righteousness. Ghosts are most sensitive to these, and they can naturally tell them apart. If you have these, in the bamboo forest that night...
"
Before Li Mu finished speaking, Bai Tingxin asked, "What happened in the bamboo forest that night?"
Li Mu put down the file, gave her a meaningful smile, and said, "What do you think?"
If she was really an evil demon, Li Mu would have taken her life that day in the bamboo forest.
Bai Tingxin understood Li Mu's answer, turned pale and ran out quickly.
Li Mu picked up the file again and sighed.
If the evil spirit transformed by the little beggar left Yang County and went to Youdu after avenging the blood feud, or went to practice in a place where no one could find it, it could always continue to exist in another form.
But she chose this path. Even if she killed everyone who deserved to be killed, the court would still completely erase him for the sake of dignity and face.
Yang County, somewhere on a remote mountain road.
More than ten practitioners gathered around a black mist.
"The evil spirit is inside!"
"Everyone come together!"
"Kill this ghost together and share the reward equally!"
…
These practitioners rushed forward in a rush, using various talismans, magic weapons, magical powers, and techniques to attack the black mist.
The black mist withstood these attacks, and the surface was rolling and boiling. When everyone was about to launch a second round of attacks, the black mist suddenly spread and enveloped them.
The noisy mountain road suddenly became quiet.
The black mist swallowed everything, rolled violently, and after a moment, shrank back.
More than ten people were lying on the ground, unconscious, with no magic power on them.
Not far away, a golden light just emitted from a monk's Zen staff, and then dissipated in an instant.
Two blood-red light spots appeared in the black fog, and then a voice without any emotion came: "Are you going to kill me too?"
"Amitabha." The monk touched his bald head and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. The poor monk wanted to ask for directions. How to get to Yangxian County?"
No more sound came from the black mist, and he ignored the monk and disappeared in an instant.
"So much resentment..." The monk had a look of compassion on his face and murmured: "If this continues, her mind may be lost and she will completely sink into the devil's way..."
He glanced at the direction where the black mist disappeared, and walked slowly down the mountain without pursuing him.
A quarter of an hour after his figure disappeared, a figure in black robe suddenly appeared here.
The black shadow looked at the dozen practitioners who had fainted on the ground in front of them, raised the corners of his mouth, turned into a black mist, and rushed towards them...
…
Yangxian County Government.
Li Mu just learned that more than a dozen practitioners died in the hands of that evil spirit.
This is the first time she has killed the practitioners who surrounded and suppressed her. Before this, she would only drain their mana.
"Look, is this the evil spirit you sympathize with?" The feminine man pointed at Chen Juncheng and Shen Junwei, and cursed: "Don't think I don't know. When the evil spirit was encircled and suppressed, you were not willing to contribute at all. Now you are dead.
We have fifteen people, are you satisfied?"
Chen Juncheng's face was as dark as water, and he whispered: "She has too much resentment and too many killings. I'm afraid she has lost her mind."
Commander Shen shook his head and sighed: "In this case, we must capture her as soon as possible."
The feminine man snorted coldly and said: "I give you three days. After three days, if you still can't catch the evil spirit, I will report everything here to the court..."
"Amitabha."
Suddenly, a Buddha's call came to everyone's ears, and a monk walked in from outside and said: "The death of those fifteen people was not caused by this evil spirit."
The feminine man looked at him and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
Commander Shen stepped forward, looked at the monk, and asked, "Master Xuandu, is there something hidden in this?"
Xuandu saw Li Mu and nodded slightly to him, then explained: "The poor monk saw with his own eyes that the evil spirit only sucked the magic power of fifteen people and did not hurt their lives. Those who harmed others should be treated separately." There is someone else..."
The feminine man frowned and said, "Why should I believe your words?"
Xuandu said: "The poor monk can swear in the name of Buddha."
"Don't do that. I don't believe in Buddha, so it's useless for you to swear by Buddha." The feminine man looked at Chen Juncheng and said, "I only give you three days. After three days, the evil spirit has not been captured. You think about how to explain this to the court."
Xuandu recited the Buddha's name again and said: "When will the injustice be repaid? The evil spirit is extremely powerful. If it can guide and influence..."
The feminine man waved his hand and said: "This is a matter for the court, it is not your turn as a monk to interrupt."
Xuandu looked at him and said, "Please don't interrupt the poor monk."
The feminine man said coldly: "So what if I interrupt?"
Xuandu said: "The poor monk is trying to reason with you."
The feminine man said: "I have no reason to argue with you."
"What the poor monk dislikes the most is unreasonable people." Xuandu shook his head, and without looking at the feminine man, he walked to Li Mu and said, "Donor Li, please help the poor monk get the Zen staff..."
Then he looked at Bai Yinxin next to Li Mu and said, "Girl snake demon, please help the poor monk get the alms bowl, thank you."
Chen Juncheng had already walked into the room without knowing when.
Commander Shen looked up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
When Li Mu raised his head, Xuan Du had already disappeared before his eyes.
Then, the sound of fists hitting flesh could be heard in his ears, as well as Xuandu's familiar curses.
"Damn it, you're so shameless, right?"
"I'm telling you, I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
"What's wrong with the imperial court? The imperial court is amazing. The imperial court can ignore the life and death of the people. How can the imperial court be indiscriminate?"
…
Li Mu had already known about Xuandu's character.
It is best to reason with him while he is still willing to reason.
When he is no longer willing to reason, no matter how much he begs him, it will be useless. He will choose to use his fists to tell the other person what the real truth is.
At this time, Chen Juncheng was nowhere to be seen, and Shen Junwei was wandering around.
The police officers who were originally standing in the yard also chose to avoid it.
Bai Tingxin held the alms bowl, her eyes widened, and stared blankly at the scene in front of her. The alms bowl fell from her hand and hit her feet, without even realizing it...
