599: What a pleasant mood! How about I catch someone?

“Break down the door!”

Bi Tuo waved his hand and gave the order. Two Night Watchers instantly condensed a pure ball of Origin Qi each, directly blasting open the dilapidated wooden door.

The moment the wooden door shattered, a pungent smell of blood rushed out, accompanied by ear-piercing wails and strange noises.

Everyone looked closely, and pairs of blood-red eyes slowly emerged from the darkness. Inside this Ancestral Shrine of the Fang Family, there were actually over a hundred Demonic Path Practitioners people, with cultivation levels around the fifth-tier.

Even the Night Watchers, whose duty was to subdue demons and eliminate devils, had never seen such a formation. Faced with so many Demonic Path Practitioners people, they were all somewhat stunned.

Bi Tuo, however, showed no fear. Instead, a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes. Golden light condensed in his palm, and he summoned a dazzling golden Bagua Mirror.

This was the supreme treasure of the Night Watchers, the most powerful and sacred mirror, rumored to eliminate all evil demons and heretics in the world!

Of course, this was a fake.

“Heavenly light dispels evil, the sacred mirror eliminates evildoers! All phenomena change, evil demons perish!”

Bi Tuo roared, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from the sacred mirror, then transformed into thousands of light beams in mid-air, raining down like a torrential downpour into the Ancestral Hall.

The Demonic Path Practitioners people hidden inside the Ancestral Hall had originally intended to rush out and fight the Night Watchers to the death.

However, under the baptism of this golden light downpour, they only felt their Origin Qi suddenly riot, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

As soon as they were touched by a beam of light, they felt themselves being purified by the sacred realm, instantly turning into ashes.

Under the full bombardment of the sacred mirror, in a mere moment, all hundred-plus Demonic Path Practitioners people in the Ancestral Hall were completely annihilated. This was the terror of the Night Watchers; they had a natural suppression against the Yao Race and Demonic Path Practitioners people.

Fang Dexiang, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but turn ashen. He gritted his teeth, his heart aching as if it were bleeding.

After Bi Tuo had completely annihilated these Demonic Path Practitioners people, he let out a slight breath of turbid air, waved his hand to put the sacred mirror back into his embrace, and loudly declared, “Retrieve the team, next house!”

“Yes!”

The Night Watchers quickly lined up neatly and departed without any delay.

Bi Tuo turned and approached Fang Dexiang, saying indifferently, “Old Master Fang, someone reported that Old Master Fang has been cooperating with Demonic Path Practitioners people for many years, using his family Ancestral Hall as a base to raise demons and devils, and creating accidents everywhere to find blood food to nourish these demonic creatures. Are you going to give an explanation?”

“Nonsense!”

Fang Dexiang's expression was flustered, and he angrily said, “This is slander, purely fabricated!”

“This old man has not been to the Ancestral Hall for many years. I had no idea that my Ancestral Shrine of the Fang Family was occupied by Demonic Path Practitioners people. How could I collude with Demonic Path Practitioners people?!”

“Who is this person, slandering this old man with such malicious accusations? This old man will never let him off lightly!”

Bi Tuo smiled faintly: “Yes, we Night Watchers also believe that Old Master Fang is a highly respected and accomplished elder. How could he do such things that go against heavenly principles and human ethics?”

“Therefore, to prove the Fang Family's innocence, please come with us, Old Master Fang, and return to the Night Watchers for investigation.”

“You…”

Fang Dexiang gritted his teeth in anger. In his originally calm eyes, a deep panic finally emerged.

Could he withstand an investigation?

He could not.

With the Night Watchers' ability to search for evidence and their interrogation skills, his cooperation with the Demonic Path could not possibly be concealed.

Fang Dexiang never expected that the Night Watchers' target this time was not only the demons and devils they raised in their Ancestral Shrine of the Fang Family, but also directly aimed at him personally.

“Gentlemen, I don't think it's necessary for me to go to the Night Watchers with you, is it?”

What kind of place was that?

Once you entered, you wouldn't expect to come out alive unless they flayed you alive!

Fang Dexiang was no longer as arrogant as before; his Face was full of amiable smiles. “I have been close friends with your King Wei for many years. During holidays and festivals, we have never lacked in courtesy.”

“You have killed so many Demon Path cultivators, which is a remarkable achievement. Can you, for the sake of King Wei's Face, let this matter drop?”

Faced with Fang Dexiang's somewhat pleading softening, Bi Tuo showed no concession. He cupped his fists and said, “I apologize, Old Master Fang, this operation of ours is by order of Team Leader Shen and has nothing to do with His Highness King Wei.”

“Therefore, please forgive us, Old Master Fang. According to the rules, we must shackle you.”

Two Night Watchers stepped forward and placed shackles and manacles on Fang Dexiang's hands and feet.

Fang Dexiang's last glimmer of hope was completely shattered, and his Face was ashen with despair.

Their Fang Family was descended from great heroes of the Great Gan. How many famous generals had their ancestors produced through generations, establishing immeasurable merits for the current stability of the empire.

Even the current emperor had to be polite to their Fang Family, giving them some Face.

Fang Dexiang never expected that the Night Watchers would not give him this Face.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't be afraid even if he was taken away. What kind of status did he have?

But… Pan Fei was a cautionary tale.

That damned Shen Bei simply didn't care about human relationships and social niceties.

He was a pure, unyielding blockhead.

He wouldn't yield to either soft or hard tactics!

… …

Inside the Prince's residence.

The Third Prince sat in the main seat, holding a wine cup, drinking cup after cup.

Wood Lin and Huang Tian sat on the left and right respectively, also holding wine cups as companions. The three, taking advantage of the Opportunity to jointly oppose Shen Bei, each with their own intentions, had come together.

Seeing the Third Prince frowning and sighing repeatedly, Wood Lin cautiously asked, “Third Prince, why are you troubled?”

“Isn't it because of that Pan Fei's matter?”

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “This Shen Bei is truly audacious and utterly arrogant!”

“He actually, without a word, and without an imperial decree from Father Emperor, used some great ancestor's sacred edict as an excuse to apprehend Pan Fei, a third-rank official.”

Huang Tian's eyes darted, and he smiled, “Third Prince, it seems the rumors outside are true. Pan Fei is indeed your man?”

Indeed, this one is not as naive as the rumors say. Is he showing his strength by saying this now? Not afraid that we will expose him? That's right, with his royal identity, what if we expose him? Who would believe it?

“Of course.”

The Third Prince said coldly, “Without this Prince's support, how could a mere Pan Fei have such great power to collude with the Demonic Path Alliance for many years, accumulating blood food in Pan Family Village's rocky pit?”

“But I didn't expect this useless fellow to be so incompetent, actually falling into the hands of a mere Shen Bei.”

“Now that Pan Fei has fallen, it means this Prince's first line of defense has been breached.”

“Next, we must be more careful in dealing with their Night Watchers.”

At this moment, a loud and hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the mansion gate.

“Hahahaha, Third Prince, Brother Mu, Brother Huang, what refined tastes you have!”

The three's hearts tightened, and they all stood up abruptly in unison.

However, as they stood up and looked closely, they all breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was Ren Chuan walking in from outside.

At the same time, he also brought an unfamiliar person.

This person was Fu Jian, whom Shen Bei had taken the Opportunity to embed within the Night Watchers, wearing an odd object mask and disguised as an abnormal person!

At this time, all the Night Watchers were busy apprehending Demonic Path Practitioners people. Shen Bei, citing a lack of manpower, and with King Wei in hiding, directly recruited people without authorization.

If this good Opportunity was missed, it would be even more difficult to embed Fu Jian into the Night Watchers, this center of power.

Regarding this, the other Team Leaders had no objections. Anyway, it was all Shen Bei's doing, and when the time came for reckoning, it would have nothing to do with them.

He could recruit whoever he wanted, no one would interfere.

Therefore, Fu Jian legitimately mixed into the Night Watcher team with other abnormal people.

At this moment, he was still a small follower.

He followed Ren Chuan to do things.

Shen Bei also didn't want to expose his intentions too much and didn't give Fu Jian any special care.

As for what position Fu Jian could reach, that would depend on his own abilities.
