95: Chapter 95 Mountain Lord

The many constables exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of something in the other's eyes.

This mysterious Saber Master likely really does have a connection with Constable Lin.

It is just unclear what their actual identities are.

To think they started sparring immediately upon meeting.

However, seeing that neither was injured, their relationship must be quite good.

Song Chen cupped his hands and spoke, "Constable Lin, most of the demonic cult members have already fled, so we will first escort these few into the Celestial Prison."

"Very well." Lin Wan nodded slightly, arranging the follow-up matters while distracted.

Immediately, several colleagues took away all the heavily injured prisoners.

The entire street was left in a mess, with only the onlookers who had heard the commotion watching from their windows.

Seeing this, He Linfeng also intended to depart, "Constable Lin, now that this Demon Sect invasion has ended, I shall return to my Sect."

Hearing this, Lin Wan smiled, "Thank you to the Zhengyang Sword Sect personal Disciple for stepping in; you have helped us greatly this time."

He Linfeng paused, realizing that Lin Wan likely mistook him for the key person who intervened.

He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I dare not take credit; in truth, it had little to do with me in the end."

"I was held back by that Demon Crane Xiao Hegui and could not free myself. If not for that Saber Master intervening, we likely would have let that person escape."

"Constable Lin, I do not know the name of that Saber Master. Since you are acquainted with them, please thank the Senior on my behalf, and if you have time, you are welcome to visit the Zhengyang Sword Sect."

Having said that, He Linfeng flicked his long sleeves, and his entire figure turned into an afterimage, disappearing from sight.

In the end, only a few bursts of laughter were heard carried on the night wind.

"This journey out for cultivation is truly extraordinary; the capital is indeed much livelier than the Sect."

Lin Wan shook her head helplessly; this closed-door Disciple of the Zhengyang Sword Sect is truly peculiar—to be so battle-hungry?

However, this time was not without gains.

Lin Wan's beautiful eyes brightened. As the person's face reappeared in her mind, a smile played on her lips, "I've finally managed to catch a lead this time."

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the dim room.

Chen Ran sat at the table, looking at the appearance of the young man in the bronze mirror before him.

The man was incredibly handsome, with a refined air, looking like a Young Master from some wealthy family.

But looking closely, one could see that the person's eyes were extremely similar to his own.

"It is fortunate that I had the disguise technique to cover up this time, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

Chen Ran smiled faintly and brushed his palm across his cheek. The next moment, the face upon his features shifted.

Slowly, in the bronze mirror, the face of a man with eyes like cold stars, a high nose bridge, and distinct contours emerged.

It was actually even more handsome than that noble Young Master.

Looking at the two completely different faces, Chen Ran felt at ease.

Even if Lin Wan were to investigate, she would likely never guess that this completely unrelated jailer was the mysterious Saber Master who intervened that night.

"I didn't expect her to have achieved a Breakthrough in her Realm; she is truly worthy of being a famous constable of the capital, her talent is extremely high."

Chen Ran recalled the power of the sword technique Lin Wan used at the end; even he had suffered a small loss when caught off guard at the time.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in secret, "This kind of sword technique is likely a unique skill possessed only by noble families; it really cannot be underestimated."

Others might not know the extent of that sword technique's power, but Chen Ran had experienced it personally.

If it were an ordinary Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Fifth Rank, let alone resisting in front of that sword technique, being able to leave behind an intact corpse would be considered fortunate.

The unique skills of the four great families are definitely the most top-tier martial arts in the outside world.

The power of the martial arts far exceeds those of the same rank by several times; it is not even impossible to kill enemies across ranks.

Chen Ran stood up and looked at the night view of the capital.

"However, this Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Melody of mine has supplemented my means of dealing with enemies."

Chen Ran opened his mouth slightly, and an invisible sound wave spread outward.

Rustle, rustle.

The trees in the courtyard swayed, and suddenly, all the leaves fell off.

Sound takes form, capable of defending against enemies, killing, and stealing hearts...

This unique skill, the true transmission of the Demon Sound Sect, was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Chen Ran had accepted all of Que Wuhua's cultivation experience and knew how terrifying this Cultivation Technique was when Cultivated to the Late Stage.

In the end, one could capture fierce souls, vengeful souls, and remnant souls, using the secret technique of demonic sound to shatter the souls, knead them into sound threads, inhale them into the throat, and fuse them with one's own Qi.

Each soul refined adds another eerie sound.

The fiercer the soul, the sharper the sound.

It is truly an out-and-out Demonic Technique.

However, for Chen Ran, it did not matter if a martial art was a Demonic Technique; as long as it could enhance his strength, it was a good method.

The so-called Demonic Technique is merely the practitioner taking the wrong path; it has nothing to do with the martial arts themselves.

The next morning. Outside the Celestial Prison gate.

Chen Ran walked over slowly. Just as he stepped into the entrance, he felt that the atmosphere inside the entire Celestial Prison was much more serious, and many jailers looked grim.

Chen Ran stopped a jailer and asked, "What has happened?"

The jailer was stunned at first, but quickly seeing Chen Ran's face, he spoke respectfully, "Brother Chen, many demonic cultivators were escorted into the Celestial Prison today. Captain Li has ordered us to find out the forces behind these people, and the brothers are currently interrogating them around the clock."

Chen Ran understood; this was about what he had expected.

He quickly let him go and walked to the Demon Suppression Division's Internal Affairs Department.

Since many demonic cultivators were locked up in the first few levels of the Celestial Prison, he imagined there would be corresponding Martial Artists in the deeper levels.

In the Internal Affairs Department, personnel were coming and going, much busier than usual.

Liu Mingyu held a scroll of records, his brows furrowed, marking it every now and then.

Click. The door to the Internal Affairs Department pushed open. Liu Mingyu looked up at the sound, and upon seeing who it was, a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Chen, you've finally arrived. Come and help me record; the prisoners registered today are much more troublesome than before."

Chen Ran took the record. Apart from guarding and patrolling the prisoners, recording the information of the prisoners in the deeper levels was also one of their daily tasks.

While recording, Chen Ran asked casually, "I heard it was because of last night's Poetry Conference; these demonic cultivators actually dared to attack the great scholars of Wenxin Hall?"

"Exactly. These lunatics heard news of a divine technique and would do anything. Daring to cause trouble in the capital so brazenly, they were rounded up by the Six Doors."

Liu Mingyu asked again, "Did you not go out to look around last night?"

"I did. After discovering evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, I quickly retreated."

Liu Mingyu leaned against the wall and smiled mysteriously, "It's a good thing you retreated quickly. Let me tell you, besides the demonic cultivators, something even more novel happened in the capital last night."

Chen Ran became slightly interested, "Is that so? Besides this matter, there is other inside information?"

"Did you hear the commotion from their fight last night? I heard from inside the Demon Suppression Division that besides the Six Doors, another mysterious expert also intervened."

"That person swung a blade, and the heavens and earth changed color; accompanied by a fierce tiger, they cleaved a Fifth Rank expert to death with a single strike!"

Chen Ran's expression was strange upon hearing this, and he continued to ask, "And what followed?"

"As for what followed, everyone was shocked to realize that such a peerless Saber Master was hidden within the capital."

"That Que Wuhua is miserable; he was about to leave, but it seems he was caught because he disturbed some Senior's cultivation."

"In the end, that Saber Master disappeared after intervening and did not leave behind a name."

"Later, the Six Doors discussed it internally and, based on the King of Beasts, the honor of the fierce tiger, drafted a title for that Saber Master."

"Known as: Mountain Lord!"
