Chapter 86: Destroying the Corpse and Erasing the Traces
……
Due to the arrival of people from the Holy City, Pang Lai had to leave Hangzhou early, while Zhu Meng began an investigation using the Blood Agent provided by Lv Cheng. However, Luo Mian, having been alerted beforehand, quickly cut off the trail at the Deputy Chief Judge Wang Yi.
West Fortress Strategic Conference Hall.
Facing the impending arrival of the Monarch-level Silver Dome Lord, the atmosphere in the conference room was particularly heavy.
Although Leng Qing had already let Lingling find the source of the plague and the solution, Xiling, where the Eagle Red Grass grew, was the nest of the White Magic Eagles. Once human Mages invaded that place, they would inevitably be surrounded and beaten by the White Magic Eagle flock; even a Super-level Mage would be a one-way trip.
Now that the White Magic Eagle invasion was imminent, they simply had no spare manpower to harvest the Eagle Red Grass.
"By the way, White Magic Eagles and Sky Eagles belong to the same species. If we send a Sky Eagle to sneak into Xiling to collect the Eagle Red Grass..."
Before Military Commander Yun Feng could finish his suggestion, the Military Commander Ming Kuo beside him interrupted him, "Commander, when the White Magic Eagles first invaded a few days ago, the Sky Eagles almost lost control. All the Sky Eagles in the fortress have already been executed by your order, and besides, that Monarch-level Magic Eagle on the other side..."
The same species of demon beast possesses terrifying bloodline suppression!
A Commander-level Magic Eagle is enough to make a Sky Eagle lose control; the pressure of a Monarch-level Magic Eagle can easily make a Sky Eagle defect!
Therefore, this trick is simply impossible!
Meeting the strange gazes of the crowd, Military Commander Yun Feng's face darkened.
Wasn't he just trying to think of a way?
The conference room fell into silence once again.
Zhu Meng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Right, Lv Cheng is a Space Element High-level Mage, he..."
"Yo, can't think of me for good things, but come to me first for trouble?"
The door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Lv Cheng walked in.
Zhu Meng was a bit embarrassed, but the situation was urgent, so he had to lower his attitude, "The Totem issue was me being impulsive, I apologize to you, but now the White Magic Eagles are right before our eyes..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Watching a bearded man like Zhu Meng being humble to him, Lv Cheng felt a bit creeped out and directly placed the space bracelet containing the Eagle Red Grass on the table.
Zhu Meng was stunned, "This is..."
"Eagle Red Grass." Lv Cheng sat down.
"You people, you are either stubborn fools who don't think about anything and only know how to charge, or you are full of schemes and don't do anything at all."
"I, a dignified Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, go on a trip and get wanted. Being wanted is one thing, but I also have to risk my life to go do manual labor."
"My life is bitter..."
Hearing this, the expressions of those present varied.
Zhu Meng felt ashamed. He had previously always thought that Lv Cheng was obstructing him repeatedly because of his relationship with that Judge Tang Yue. He didn't expect that he had misjudged the situation and acted arbitrarily.
"Now, the plague problem is solved, so shouldn't the culprit behind this plague also be dealt with?" Lv Cheng looked at Luo Mian.
Luo Mian's expression remained unchanged, "With a great enemy at the gates, are you planning to have an internal conflict now?"
A Councilor of the Magic Palace, even if only an Honorary Councilor, was higher than him in status and authority!
This guy, like Zhu Meng, had the authority to detain him!
However, if he were to make a move now, he would definitely not sit and wait for death. To catch him, it would take at least two Super-level Mages.
With a great enemy at the gates, to increase losses at such a time?
This kid is only a High-level Mage; Zhu Meng and the others wouldn't be so reckless about the overall situation.
"Rest assured, I am not the type of person who ignores the overall situation, but..." Lv Cheng's figure disappeared from where he stood, and the next instant, he appeared behind Luo Mian and grabbed his shoulder.
"You seemed to have suggested earlier to capture the few young girls I brought to threaten me into showing myself?"
"I..." Luo Mian felt a shock in his heart. Just as he wanted to activate Shadow Magic to escape, he found that he couldn't move at all.
A powerful Spiritual Power invaded his mental world!
"Want to run?" With a thought from Lv Cheng, Luo Mian's four limbs were instantly crushed by immense pressure.
The smell of blood permeated the air, and Luo Mian, having lost his limbs, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of those present varied, but not a single person stepped forward to stop it.
What Luo Mian had done and the damage he had caused were already enough to warrant the death penalty.
Now, Lv Cheng was merely executing the death penalty ahead of time.
It was just as well, saving them the trouble of finding evidence.
As for Luo Mian being instantly taken down by Lv Cheng, although everyone was surprised, they weren't that surprised.
After all, Lv Cheng had created such a massive Floating Island; his Spiritual Power was definitely exaggerated.
With powerful Spiritual Power amplification, Lv Cheng was also a High-level Mage of the Psychic and Space elements.
With this combination, caught off guard, even a Super-level Mage would fall!
"I am a Councilor, you cannot kill..."
Bang!
Before the words could finish, Lv Cheng gripped the air, and Luo Mian's entire body exploded into a blood mist.
"Councilor? You say it as if no one else is one..." Lv Cheng waved his hand, and flames ignited in the blood mist in the air, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Not even ashes remained!
"Ah! Where is Luo Mian?"
Having just finished destroying the corpse and erasing the traces, Lv Cheng suddenly looked at the people in the conference room in surprise.
"Wasn't he just here a moment ago? How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"..."
The crowd wore strange expressions.
What exaggerated acting.
"Indeed, where is Councilor Luo Mian?" Tang Zhong looked at Zhu Meng in confusion.
"Did you see him?"
The corners of Zhu Meng's eyes twitched slightly, "Didn't see him."
"With such a great enemy at the gates, he wouldn't have run off, would he?" Chief Judge Li Tian looked indignant.
Military Commander Yun Feng coughed twice, "Perhaps there's an emergency at home?"
"..."
Seeing the attitude of the several leaders, the others in the conference room also raised their gazes one after another.
They didn't see anything either.
"Your efficiency in getting things done is truly high."
On the way back to West Lake, Leng Qing, who was following beside Lv Cheng, had a very strange expression.
To think he actually executed Luo Mian right in front of everyone.
Although that old bastard deserved to die, he was a Councilor; if the interrogation process had been followed, that old guy would have spent the rest of his life in prison at most, and it would have been impossible to sentence him to death. Even if the evidence were insufficient, that old thing might not have even ended up in prison.
If Lv Cheng acted like this and Zhu Meng and the others hadn't been willing to play dumb and cooperate at the time, he would have been in trouble.
"I already destroyed the body and wiped away the traces; they won't go against me for the sake of a person who no longer exists," Lv Cheng said.
"Besides, that island in the sky is still floating there; even if they wanted to mess with me, they would first have to consider whether that thing might suddenly fall down."
The corners of Leng Qing's eyes twitched.
A threat!
A naked, blatant threat!
As long as that island is still floating there, no one dares to make a move against Lv Cheng!
After all, if that thing were to fall, Hangzhou City would be gone!
"What's wrong, the impartial Senior Sister Leng, looking to catch me in the act?" Lv Cheng said.
"I wouldn't dare," Leng Qing pouted.
"You are a fierce person who can even insta-kill a Super-level Mage Councilor; if I were to catch you in the act, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know when I ended up with no bones left."
To be able to make a Super-level Mage completely disappear without any power to resist—even though Lv Cheng relied on a sneak attack at the time—but still, no bones left!
Mind Element to take the initiative, Space Element to insta-kill, Fire Element to destroy the evidence!
A one-stop service!
She knew very well that many people in the conference room at the time were actually stunned by that move of Lv Cheng's, which is why they didn't dare to say anything more.
Lv Cheng dared to lay a hand on a Councilor, so what about the others?
A Super-level Mage was killed by a sneak attack, so what about the others?
"How could that be? If you really want to catch me, I can let you catch me for a while," Lv Cheng said.
Leng Qing was stunned, "Catch you for a while, what do you m—"
Bang!
"Scoundrel!"
