253: Chapter 253 Zhang Hao is arrested
Captain Tang Jing and Xie Jin found Fifth Elder Lu Dong immediately, and Fifth Elder Lu Dong reported to the First Elder right away.
The First Elder attached great importance to this and said solemnly: "Whether it is a Gang or a Loose Cultivator, or a Sect Disciple, if they die at the hands of a Demon Cultivator, there is nothing to say, but if they die in Tianshui City, it must be investigated to the end."
The First Elder summoned all Void Refining Cultivators in the city to the Law Enforcement Hall and began to seal the city; anyone wanting to leave Tianshui City had to undergo inspection by the Spirit Peering Mirror.
The Spirit Peering Mirror can see through the Dantian.
For those who had previously left Tianshui City, the First Elder also dispatched several Elders from the Law Enforcement Hall to pursue and investigate.
An hour later, hundreds of Void Refining Cultivators gathered at the Law Enforcement Hall. After some questioning, there were basically no problems, with only a few people being slightly suspicious.
In Thunder God City, the teleportation array was about to open.
A woman led three Void Refining Disciples and suddenly walked into the teleportation array.
Ye Mo knew this woman; she was exactly Qian Haoyan's sister, Qian Yu.
Qian Yu only had Soul Transformation cultivation, but she had three Void Refining Cultivators by her side, which showed that the relationship between the Outer Sect Elder and Qian Yu must be quite good.
Soon the teleportation array opened, and Ye Mo returned to Tianshui City again. Afterward, he rushed to the teleportation point for the Demon Cultivation Sea without stopping.
However, there was a long queue here.
"What's going on? Why is even the Spirit Peering Mirror being used?"
"I heard someone died in the city. Now, whether you are leaving the city or staying in the city, you must undergo inspection."
"Who died? Making such a big fuss?"
"Two Disciples of the Thunder God Sect, as well as the Gang Leader and his wife of the Mirror Moon Gang."
"Whoa, what exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
"I don't know much either. I only heard that the Mirror Moon Gang Leader, Sect Leader Xu Geng, was at Soul Transformation Perfection, but he was killed silently at the Gang headquarters. So the Law Enforcement Hall suspects it was done by a Void Refining powerhouse. Now all Void Refining powerhouses have been taken to the Law Enforcement Hall for questioning."
Ye Mo waited for about half an hour, and it was finally his turn.
He first took out his identity token, and then after the inspection by the Spirit Peering Mirror, the Spirit Peering Mirror clearly showed that he only had one Golden Core in his Dantian.
Afterward, he entered the teleportation array smoothly.
Not long after, Ye Mo arrived at the Heavenly Demon Continent. Then he immediately went to the swamp area, found a place with marsh gas, set up a teleportation array, and arrived at the Forbidden Spirit Sea a moment later.
Ye Mo pondered for a moment, then released the three of them, including Zhang Hao.
Then Ye Mo summoned the System and used one hundred years to upgrade to a level-six Artifact Refining Great Master.
Afterward, Ye Mo took out the soul-devouring banner, preparing to upgrade the soul-devouring banner.
Five days later, the soul-devouring banner was successfully upgraded to level six.
Afterward, Ye Mo began to refine the treasure ship.
Refining a treasure ship is relatively complex, especially engraving the Formation; it is a delicate and slow job.
But the benefits are also very obvious, especially in the Forbidden Spirit Sea; it is absolutely an excellent Magic Treasure for escaping.
Over in Tianshui City, after five days of investigation, there were no gains.
However, Ye Mo also entered their line of sight.
Ye Mo himself had a grudge against Qian Haoyan.
It's just that they initially thought Ye Mo had Nascent Soul cultivation, so he was naturally excluded, until one day, a Disciple from the Mission Department said that Ye Mo had continuously handed in the corpses of six or seven thousand Demon Cultivators during this period, which aroused everyone's suspicion.
Law Enforcement Hall, conference hall.
First Elder Mu Hongfei sat in the main seat.
Several Grand Elders and Captain Tang Jing, Xie Jin, Qian Yu, and others sat on the left and right sides.
"I think it's still impossible. Although Ye Mo handed in six or seven thousand Demon Cultivator corpses, there was ultimately not a single Soul Transformation Demon Cultivator, and when Ye Mo left the city, it was also detected that he was only at the Golden Core stage," one Elder said.
"This is also the strange part; the cultivation he displayed before was Nascent Soul Perfection."
"Perhaps he used some secret technique to temporarily increase his cultivation."
"The secret technique you are talking about, could it be the illusion infant pill?"
"It's just a guess."
"It makes some sense. However, he handed in six or seven thousand Demon Cultivators, which is also very suspicious. Ye Mo, where is he now?"
"Not back yet."
"Hmm, wait for him to return, and immediately have him come to the Law Enforcement Hall."
"Okay."
"How many people have not been tested yet?"
"Currently, less than one-third of the people have been tested."
"Hmm, speed it up. The Sect also attaches great importance to this matter; find the murderer as soon as possible."
After Mu Hongfei finished speaking, he looked at Qian Yu.
Yesterday, Qian Yu's husband, that is, the Outer Sect Elder Zeng Mingxu, also came to Tianshui City once and specifically instructed him to find the murderer as soon as possible.
Although Mu Hongfei also has Body Integration cultivation, in the end, he is only a dispatched Law Enforcement Elder, which counts as a local position, so there is still a big gap in status compared to the Sect's Outer Sect Elder.
January 10th.
After a new round of offspring were born one after another, Zhang Hao suddenly sent a voice transmission, saying that the three of them were being hunted by dozens of Void Refining Demon Cultivators.
Ye Mo immediately used the flying boat to teleport, but after teleporting twice, Ye Mo stopped immediately.
"You guys disperse and flee, as much as possible towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Continent."
Zhang Hao and the other two cannot use the flying boat, nor can they use the Teleportation Talisman.
For dozens of Void Refining Cultivators to catch up with them is actually very simple.
In other words, these dozens of Void Refining Cultivators are playing a long game.
Ye Mo is not afraid of dozens of Void Refining Cultivators; he is worried that there is a Body Integration Cultivator hidden among them.
"Yes." Zhang Hao responded, and then the three of them flew in a fan shape towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Continent.
Ye Mo also turned his direction and flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Demon Continent.
Actually, Ye Mo could give up on Zhang Hao and the other two, but in the end, he was somewhat reluctant. After all, Ye Mo had put a lot of effort into cultivating the three of them.
"Protector Shi, which one should we pursue?"
Although Divine Sense cannot be expanded in the Forbidden Spirit Sea, and vision is also obstructed, Spiritual Qi fluctuations will still be left behind when flying, so these Demon Cultivators can still distinguish the direction in which Zhang Hao and the other two fled.
"Whether it is a level-six Puppet or a level-six Soul Corpse, it is impossible to leave more than ten thousand miles away from its master, otherwise it will lose control and cannot be given orders. We will pursue them separately. Once we find them stopped, we will immediately conduct the arrest."
After Shi Feng finished speaking, he took a dozen or so Void Refining Cultivators and chased after Jin Chengtian in the middle.
Two hours later, Zhang Hao and the other two had already dispersed by tens of thousands of miles.
But none of the three had stopped yet.
"Something is wrong. Could it be that there is more than one person behind them?"
Shi Feng fell into deep thought. He knew that there was no point in continuing to chase like this. Once they left the Forbidden Spirit Sea, they might be discovered, and there might even be danger.
"Prepare to close the net."
Shi Feng immediately gave orders to all his subordinates.
Zhang Hao and the others' strength is not weaker than Void Refining now, but facing ten Void Refining Cultivators, they have no power to fight back at all.
Zhang Hao was the first to be caught.
Ye Mo could sense that Zhang Hao had stopped flying, and when he sent a voice transmission to him, there was no answer.
However, Jin Chengtian and Gong Kai were still fleeing.
The Void Refining Cultivator who caught Zhang Hao soon discovered Zhang Hao's unusual nature.
A moment later, a Void Refining Cultivator transmitted a message to Shi Feng with an extremely surprised tone: "Protector Shi, this Puppet is actually a Devouring Beast!"
"What, a Devouring Beast!!!"
Shi Feng immediately understood, so he immediately controlled the Soul Corpse. Sure enough, it was a Devouring Beast!
