139: Luo Jinghe is dead! Prefect Hong Zhi is shocked!

He Yan's calm voice sounded as terrifying as a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering ghost to Luo Jinghe.

"What do you Blackbird Guards want to do?!"

"What did this official do?!"

Luo Jinghe panicked, losing his composure and adopting a defiant stance.

"Prefect, does he know that your Blackbird Guards are here to apprehend this official?"

"This official's father is Prince An's teacher, and also An Prefecture's Investigating Censor!"

"You Blackbird Guards, without evidence, dare to lay a hand on this official?!"

He Yan had only spoken two sentences, yet he had scared Luo Jinghe to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Luo Jinghe even revealed all his cards, just wanting to remind He Yan that he had an enormous backer.

If there was no evidence, even the Blackbird Guard could not so wantonly apprehend him.

"Luo Jinghe, obediently come with this old man, so you don't suffer physical pain."

The next second, terrifying Blood Refinement Qi erupted from Luo Jinghe's entire body, causing the ground he stood on to crack inch by inch.

The aura of Blood Refinement Greater Accomplishment!

"Hmph!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

He Yan paid no mind to this powerful Qi, directly flying forward, his palm forming a claw, grabbing towards Luo Jinghe.

Luo Jinghe abandoned the thought of resisting He Yan, and instead, he ran across the lake surface, attempting to escape.

However, his speed, which he was so proud of, was not worth mentioning in front of an Inner Energy Realm Martial Artist.

Before Luo Jinghe could even reach the shore, a strong and powerful hand instantly grabbed Luo Jinghe's shoulder.

Immediately after, that hand squeezed hard, its five fingers like incredibly sharp blades, plunging into Luo Jinghe's flesh.

When Luo Jinghe, in pain, tried to turn around and counterattack He Yan.

An unstoppable aura surged wildly from He Yan's hand into Luo Jinghe's body.

Luo Jinghe's Blood Refinement Qi was like encountering a flood or a ferocious beast.

Wherever He Yan's Inner Energy went, Luo Jinghe's entire body's Blood Refinement Qi was defeated and scattered.

Seeing that Luo Jinghe's entire body's Blood Refinement Qi had been defeated and he had no more power to resist, He Yan said coldly.

"Come with this old man!"

Blackbird Guard Residence!

"What do you Blackbird Guards want to do? Huang Shi was not killed by this official; you need to provide evidence."

"Otherwise, my father will not let you go, and Prince An will not let you go either."

"Don't think that you Blackbird Guards can cover the sky with one hand!"

At this moment, Luo Jinghe was being held in a hidden underground prison.

Inside the iron cell, Luo Jinghe's limbs were chained with Blackbird Guard's specially made iron chains.

Outside the iron door, two elderly Blackbird Guards sat by a wooden table, quietly sipping tea.

As for Luo Jinghe's threats, they both seemed not to have heard them.

They had been guarding the Blackbird Guard dungeon for an unknown number of years.

They were long accustomed to people who entered the Blackbird Guard dungeon and still babbled on endlessly.

After a short while, two figures were walking from the far end of the dungeon corridor.

The person who came was Vice Envoy He Yan.

"You two, leave!"

The two Blackbird Guards guarding Luo Jinghe, seeing that it was He Yan, respectfully stood up.

"Yes, Vice Envoy!"

After the two left, the sharp light in He Yan's eyes flickered unsteadily.

"Sigh, I wonder how big a storm this will cause."

"Old Li, you'll have to bear it again this time!"

"This Mystic Envoy truly possesses the qualities of a hero!"

"Incredible, incredible!"

After He Yan apprehended Luo Jinghe and locked him in the dungeon, he immediately went to find Lu Xuan, who had just returned from Lanshan County.

What He Yan didn't expect was.

This Mystic Envoy, without the slightest hesitation, didn't even glance at Luo Jinghe, the Baidao Prefecture Tongpan, and directly sentenced him to death!

And it was the kind of death sentence that didn't even require a trial!

And who else could carry out the order to execute Luo Jinghe besides himself?

He Yan sighed helplessly.

"Your Excellency, spare my life!"

"This official truly didn't do it!"

When Luo Jinghe saw that the person who came was the Blackbird Guard Vice Envoy who had apprehended him, he quickly begged.

There was nothing he could do; in this godforsaken place where he couldn't call out to heaven or earth, Luo Jinghe could only swallow his pride.

"Vice Envoy, this official is Prince An's trusted subordinate placed in Baidao Prefecture."

"If you dare to lay a hand on this official, Prince An will absolutely not let it go!"

In Luo Jinghe's heart, Prince An was the heavens of An Prefecture.

Even a Mystic Envoy was not qualified to provoke Prince An.

Prince An...

Do you think this old man doesn't know your background?

He Yan agreed with Luo Jinghe's words; he had also informed the Mystic Envoy of this information.

However, it had no effect!

"Lord Luo, the case of Huang Shi has been confirmed by the Mystic Envoy, and a decision has been made."

"No trial needed, immediate execution!"

He Yan's words made Luo Jinghe's eyes widen with disbelief, unable to accept this outcome.

"This official doesn't believe it, you are lying to this official!"

"This official wants to see the Prefect, this official wants to see the Mystic Envoy!"

"What grudge or hatred do you have with this official that you treat this official like this?!"

Watching Luo Jinghe blame everything on him, He Yan had no intention of explaining.

He couldn't possibly say, 'It's because you offended the Mystic Envoy, so blame him.'

Clang!

A crisp sword clang sounded, a cold light flashed, accompanied by a sharp whoosh.

A cold gleam emerged from the Void Realm, cutting through the sky and striking towards Luo Jinghe.

The next moment, everything in front of Luo Jinghe's eyes spun upside down.

Then, a round object fell to the ground with a dull thud.

......

Inside the hall, at this moment, besides Lu Xuan, there was another person present.

That was Prefect Hong Zhi of Baidao Prefecture!

Facing Lu Xuan's summons, Hong Zhi naturally did not dare to be negligent and rushed over.

"Prefect, these are the pieces of evidence that this Envoy sent people to search for at Luo Jinghe's place."

"There are many letters here, all of which are correspondences between Luo Jinghe and officials from various county yamen."

"Among them are County Lieutenant Huang Yangping, the former County Assistant of Qingyun County, and Huang Shi, the missing Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard."

"You give this Envoy an explanation!"

Prefect Hong Zhi looked at the letters piled beside him, beads of sweat on his forehead.

Even the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, he didn't know when.

"Mystic Envoy, please forgive me!"

"This is this subordinate's dereliction of duty; I truly did not know that Luo Jinghe had such a wolfish ambition."

As an Inner Energy Realm Martial Artist, he actually felt unprecedented pressure in front of this young Mystic Envoy.

Even Li Chengfeng had never given him such a dangerous feeling.

This feeling reminded Hong Zhi of the trembling sensation he felt when he faced an Inner Energy expert in the Blood Refinement Realm back then.

"You didn't know, or you pretended not to know!"

"Prefect, you know in your heart."

"Alright, this official called you here to have you take Luo Jinghe's body and, by the way, confirm his guilt."

Lu Xuan saw through Hong Zhi's pretense at a glance, but he didn't care.

This time, Lu Xuan summoned Hong Zhi to have him take Luo Jinghe's body.

Upon hearing this news, Prefect Hong Zhi instantly stood up in front of Lu Xuan.

"Luo Jinghe is dead!"

Finally, Hong Zhi realized his Gaffe behavior and muttered softly.

"Dead......"

"What, Prefect, do you question this Envoy's decision?"

Lu Xuan's rhetorical question made Hong Zhi repeatedly reply: "No, I mean the Mystic Envoy did well."

"Luo Jinghe, with his wolfish ambition and evil intentions, dared to harm the Blackbird Guard; he truly deserved to die!"
