Ji Tianxing spent half the night worrying about matters in Yueluo Town.
When he returned to the city lord's mansion, it was already dawn.
There was silence in the city lord's palace, and the guards were still on tight guard.
The study room where Yunyao lived was still dimly lit.
She was still busy in the study, hunched over her desk handling official duties, as if she was tireless.
When Ji Tianxing came to the study door, the guard guarding the door bowed and saluted, and he quickly made a silence gesture.
Then, he silently entered the study and walked quietly behind Yunyao.
Yunyao was still concentrating on reviewing the files and didn't notice his arrival at all.
He showed a gentle smile, quietly stretched out his arms, put his arms around Yunyao's slender waist, and hugged her into his arms.
Yun Yao suddenly woke up, her body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to fight back.
But she reacted immediately, and after knowing that the person coming was Ji Tianxing, she immediately relaxed her vigilance.
"Tian Xing, why are you here? What are you... doing?"
She turned to look at Ji Tianxing, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Ji Tianxing held her hands, rubbed his cheek against her pretty face, and said with a smile: "Yao Yao, you forget to rest when you get busy. It makes me feel sad to see you working so hard.
Honestly, have you been working like this every day in the past half month?"
Yunyao responded hesitantly, feeling a little moved and warm in her heart.
But she was very smart and immediately saw the clues. She stared at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Tianxing, did you stay up all night too?
Where did you go last night? From what I saw, you seemed to have been on a journey and even got into a fight?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile: "Yao Yao, I didn't expect that I couldn't hide this from you. You guessed it right, I went to Yueluo Town last night."
"Yueluo Town?" Yunyao frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "That is a remote town farthest from Yuejian City. What are you doing there in the middle of the night?"
Ji Tianxing did not hide anything from her, and said to her through spiritual sound transmission: "Yao Yao, I have a surprise to tell you, I just discovered it.
The Heaven-Mending Bead I obtained in the Sea of Buried Stars is a very mysterious artifact, and its effects are very strange!
This divine object was fused with my soul, and it actually induced me last night, guiding me to Yueluo Town.
After I rushed to Yueluo Town, I found a man in black robes escaping from the town and carrying an unconscious young warrior."
Hearing this, Yun Yao suddenly showed a surprised expression, "How can the Heaven-Building Bead have such a miraculous effect? That man in black robe must be a demon, and he wants to sow the magic poison to the young warrior, right?"
Ji Tianxing smiled and shook his head, "I thought so at first, but he is not a demon.
After I chased him into a cave, I discovered that he was actually a demon puppet, trying to devour the flesh and blood of the young warrior..."
He told Yunyao exactly what happened.
After Yun Yao heard this, she felt incredible, and her clear eyes were filled with excitement.
"Tianxing, the Dzi Bead is so magical? Can it also purify demonic poison?"
"That's right!" Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile on his face: "The Heaven-Mending Pearl is an ancient divine object. No one knows how powerful it is and what other effects it has.
But what I am certain about now is that this divine object is most likely the nemesis of the devil and the demons!
Although the evolved magic poison is very powerful and the magic poison puppet is very difficult to deal with, I have the Heaven-Building Beads in hand and I will be able to deal with them quickly!"
"Great!" Yun Yao was also in high spirits and said with excitement: "Tianxing, if Tianzhu is really the nemesis of the demons, we will soon be able to relieve the crisis in Yuejian City.
The hundreds of thousands of civilians in Yuejian City are finally saved!
Not only the people of Yuejian City, but also the people of Li in hundreds of cities in Zhongzhou can finally escape the shadow of the devil's poison!"
Ji Tianxing knew Yun Yao very well and knew that she cared about the common people, so he had already guessed that she would react like this.
Because, he and Yunyao have many similarities.
This is one of the reasons why they love each other deeply, cherish and rely on each other.
He held Yun Yao's hands and said in a solemn tone: "Yao Yao, if Tianzhu is really the nemesis of the demon clan, then of course everyone will be happy, and we will have a way to deal with the demon Gu.
But this is just my guess, and I need your help to verify my guess."
Yunyao quickly asked: "How can I help you?"
Ji Tianxing said with a solemn expression: "Didn't you arrest a lot of suspicious people and lock them in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion?"
Yunyao nodded and said: "Yes, those more than a hundred people are suspected, but we can't tell who is the demon in disguise, so we can only imprison them all.
Facts have proved that among the more than 100 people, some are actually demons in disguise.
Ever since I ordered those people to be imprisoned, no demons have sown demon poison in the city."
Ji Tianxing showed a playful smile and said, "Okay, take me to the dungeon now, I want to see those people.
If the Tianzhu is really the nemesis of the demons, maybe we can identify who the demons are."
Yun Yao showed expectant eyes and nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense! We can't tell who is a demon in disguise, but it is possible to tell who is a demon in disguise!
After we arrested more than a hundred suspects, many of their families, relatives and friends came to the City Lord's Mansion every day to plead for mercy and let the City Lord's Mansion release their relatives.
However, most of those people were from the rich and powerful families in the city. City Lord Ye had to deal with those people every day, and he was already exhausted and exhausted.
Tianxing, if you can distinguish who is an innocent person and who is a demon, that would be great!"
After saying that, Yunyao took Ji Tianxing out of the study and walked towards the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
The spacious but deserted backyard seems defenseless, but in fact there are many hidden sentries.
The entrance to the dungeon is under a stone sculpture in the corner of the backyard and is protected by the Tianyuan Formation.
Yunyao used a secret method to activate the formation, and the base of the stone sculpture suddenly cracked, opening a door.
Behind the stone door is a dark passage that connects to a dungeon deep underground.
Yunyao led Ji Tianxing through the stone gate and walked underground along the stone steps.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them reached the end of the passage and entered the dungeon.
The dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion is very large, like an underground palace, divided into upper and lower floors.
There are two passages on each floor, with rows of cells on both sides of the passage.
The entrance to the dungeon and every passage are heavily guarded and the guards are very tight.
Moreover, the entire dungeon is protected by the Tianyuan Formation. Even if there is an earthquake or a fight between strong men, it is impossible to destroy the dungeon.
When Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao entered the dungeon, the guards knelt down and saluted, and the guard commander personally accompanied them, serving them in front of them and on horseback.
