I have always been a law-abiding, honest, and kind person.

Seeing that the Law Enforcement Hall Disciples were all incredibly nervous, Qi Yuan quickly pulled out the token from his sleeve and said:

"Senior Brothers, I am actually a friend of Fairy Ji. This is the token she gave me. Feel free to take it and inspect it."

Hearing this, the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator froze for a moment and subconsciously asked:

"Which Fairy Ji?"

Seeing Qi Yuan walking towards him, he was so frightened that he retreated a few steps, raising his hand to stop him:

"Wait... don't get so close. My eyesight is excellent; I can see clearly even from a distance."

Are you kidding? Who knows if this kid is deliberately approaching him to launch a sneak attack?

As for the token, he definitely couldn't take it. There was no guarantee it wasn't coated with poison or some other unpredictable, sinister method.

Although he was a dignified Golden Core Peak expert, facing a Middle Foundation Establishment Stage newcomer shouldn't require such fear. But then again, could someone who single-handedly slaughtered Blood Refining Peak be an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator?

In short, when dealing with such a vicious and heinous criminal, no amount of caution is too much.

Qi Yuan immediately replied:

"I am talking about Ji Chan'er, the True Disciple of the Yin Sha Sect. She should be arriving soon."

"True Disciple Ji?"

Hearing that name, the Demonic Cultivators of the Law Enforcement Hall present were instantly astonished. They clearly hadn't expected the other party to know Ji Chan'er, one of the Yin Sha Sect's Four Great Beauties.

In the Baleful Yin Sect, Ji Chan'er was undoubtedly the dream lover in the hearts of countless male Demonic Cultivators. Her fame far surpassed that of some influential Grand Elders within the Sect.

Moreover, as the legitimate daughter of the Ji Family, she had noble origins and outstanding talent. Among the many True Disciples, she was considered top-tier, even qualified to compete for the position of Saintess!

Thinking of this, the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator looked at Qi Yuan with suspicion, disbelievingly saying:

"If you know Senior Sister Ji, how could you be assigned to a place like Blood Refining Peak?"

Just then, a streak of Escaping Light, like solidified smoke, arrived instantly. When it settled, it revealed a purple-robed woman of peerless beauty—it was Ji Chan'er, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ji!"

Upon seeing her, the Law Enforcement Hall personnel rushed forward to bow and salute, their tone exceptionally respectful.

Ji Chan'er nodded slightly and said faintly:

"Rise."

"Yes!"

The Law Enforcement Hall Disciples cautiously straightened their bodies, yet they still kept their heads bowed, showing utmost respect.

Facing someone of Ji Chan'er's status, these ordinary Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall Disciples didn't even have the right to look her directly in the eye.

Qi Yuan stood to the side, maintaining a calm demeanor, pondering how to deal with the Demoness's inevitable cross-examination.

From an outsider's perspective, his actions this time were indeed a bit scummy. Demoness Ji had specifically invited him to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Demonic Sect, offering a huge list of benefits, only to be flatly rejected.

Not long after that, he secretly ran off to become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demonic Sect himself. Only when trouble arose did he think of asking her for help. What kind of situation was this... Thinking about it, Qi Yuan felt an urge to hit someone.

Damn it, who knew this idiotic System would issue such a ridiculous quest? I'm not crazy or bored. Why would I give up being a perfectly good Holy Land Dao Child to come here and be some lousy Demonic Sect Disciple?

If this matter got out, the severity would be ten thousand times worse than going to Falling Cloud Valley as a handyman. The former could still be slightly argued away, but the latter was purely deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors.

Fuck!

After subtly shooting a resentful glance at a certain person, Ji Chan'er glanced at the crime scene not far away. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly startled by the brutal sight.

Immediately afterward, she composed herself and secretly sent a Sound Transmission to Qi Yuan:

"These people, did you really kill them all?"

Hearing the Sound Transmission, Qi Yuan was initially stunned, but immediately reacted and replied via Sound Transmission:

"Actually, they were killed by my sword, so I guess that counts as me killing them."

"It's not that I wanted to kill them. Those people trespassed into my courtyard for no reason. I was just defending my Immortal Cave."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Chan'er with an expectant expression and asked:

"How is it, Fairy Ji? Can you handle this matter? If not, you don't need to force yourself to protect me. I have my own way to escape."

Qi Yuan was speaking the truth. Now that he had the Teleportation Function, as long as he wasn't firmly locked down by a Great Power, he could escape via teleportation at any time.

Of course, the consequence would be that the fake identity Qi Da would be completely unusable, and afterward, he would have to find a way to change his identity and sneak into the Demonic Sect, which was simply too troublesome.

Therefore, he chose to wait and see if there was any room for remedy.

Hearing this, Ji Chan'er nodded calmly and replied via Sound Transmission:

"You don't need to worry. They are just a group of Outer Sect Disciples. If they're killed, they're killed. Later, I will have the elders of my clan give a greeting, asking the Outer Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to cease investigating this matter."

This Demoness is indeed reliable.

Qi Yuan's expression relaxed slightly. Just as he was about to say a few nice words to appease her, the sky, which was clear like colored glaze, suddenly darkened. Dozens of dark Escaping Lights clustered around an entirely bone-white Skeleton Flying Carriage, cutting through the clouds and mist and landing steadily in front of everyone.

The curtain made of human bones slowly opened, and a black-haired old man, dressed in magnificent robes and a jade belt, with a stout figure, stepped out. The old man had a broad face, large ears, and a long beard that reached his chest. His aura was ethereal and obscure, like a deep abyss.

Seeing the old man appear, the group of Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall Disciples were instantly startled. After recovering, they all knelt on the ground:

"Greetings, Vice Hall Master!"

At this moment, the middle-aged Demonic Cultivator was also somewhat dumbfounded. He had indeed sent a request for aid to the main hall, but he hadn't expected the Law Enforcement Hall to take it so seriously, sending such a powerful figure.

This magnificent-robed old man was none other than Situ Kong, the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Ji Chan'er's willow eyebrows furrowed, and a trace of apprehension flashed across her beautiful face, but she quickly regained her composure, giving a slight curtsy to the magnificent-robed old man and saying:

"Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle Situ."

At the same time, she quickly gave Qi Yuan a look, signaling him to follow suit and salute.

Qi Yuan naturally understood, and immediately stepped forward to bow and salute.

Although he didn't know the old man's identity, judging by the scale of his entourage, he must be a major figure in the Inner Sect Law Enforcement Hall.

"I didn't expect Junior Martial Niece Ji to be here too. What a coincidence."

Situ Kong nodded amiably toward Ji Chan'er, then turned his gaze to Qi Yuan and said in a calm tone, "I heard something big happened in the Outer Sect, and since this old man had nothing better to do, I came over to take a look."

Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned by these words.

You old geezer, you have nothing better to do, so you specifically came here to make trouble for me, right?

Although he complained internally, he honestly recounted the entire incident again.

"...The whole process was like this. Please, Law Enforcement Hall, you must believe me. I have always been law-abiding and honest, and I would never intentionally harm fellow Disciples."

Qi Yuan said with a look of absolute certainty.

"Really?"

Situ Kong narrowed his eyes, examining him curiously from head to toe, and said, "This matter is too suspicious. Naturally, we cannot just believe your side of the story. Why don't we let the victims come out and speak?"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve, and a bone-chilling, sinister wind rose from nowhere. black mist immediately permeated the area, obscuring the sky and sun.

However.

After some time passed, nothing happened except for these special effects.

"Huh?"

Situ Kong was stunned. His figure flashed, and he appeared next to the corpses. After inspecting them carefully, he finally asked with a surprised look:

"Why are the souls of the deceased all missing?"

As soon as he said this, everyone simultaneously looked at the innocent-faced Qi Yuan.

Facing the gazes of those around him, Qi Yuan let out two dry laughs. With an awkward expression, he pulled out a small, ghostly banner from his storage bracelet and sheepishly said:

"They are all inside here. Should I call them out?"

For a moment, everyone looked at him with strange expressions, utterly speechless.

Good heavens!

Not only did he kill the people, but he even extracted their souls and refined them!

Even so, this fellow actually has the nerve to claim he is law-abiding and honest. Does he think we are all blind?
