Swallows flew at an angle across the rooftops, and the air was permeated with the raw scent of damp earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's going to rain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Street vendors nimbly set up their rain awnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children squatted by the roadside watching ants move their home, only to be dragged home by their ears by adults; the streets and alleys were filled with a noisy, bustling scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drunken Moon Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall, a musician plucked the strings, the sound of silk and bamboo instruments melodious and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Yun sat by the second-floor window, looking at the woman in white martial attire drinking alone before him, and frowned. \"Officer Lin, drinking while on duty—isn't that a bit inappropriate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman drained the wine in her cup in one gulp, a flush of red rising to her cheeks, and said casually, \"Then go ahead and report me. My salary has already been docked until the end of next year anyway; I don't care if they take the year after that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Yun’s expression was one of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had absolutely no way to deal with this ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingzhu, one of the Four Great Divine Constables of the Six Gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she started the job, she had only received her salary for the first month; after that, it was all confiscated as fines. She had even paid over a hundred taels in additional penalties, earning her the title of the number one person in the Six Gates to have a negative salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being rated as one of the Four Great Divine Constables, she was naturally no mediocrity. The cases Lin Jingzhu handled had a very high clearance rate, but the casualty rate was also shockingly high—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Criminals who fell into her hands were often either dead or crippled before they even reached the prison. To say nothing of the distant past, just last month she broke the \"third leg\" of a flower-picking thief...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petitions at the government office were piled into a small mountain, mostly from the families of suspects accusing her of lynching and trampling on human life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for her significant background and impressive ability, she would have been dismissed from office long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demon race is killing people within Tiandu City; this matter is no small thing. The government office has asked us to cooperate in the investigation. Do you intend to defy orders?\" Shangguan Yun frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingzhu curled her lips. \"Don't try to pressure me with the government office. This case has no leads at all; where am I supposed to start investigating? It’s nothing more than waiting for that demon to strike again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of bumping around like a headless fly, it’s better to drink some wine and listen to some music... Tsk, well played!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand and tossed down an ingot of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The musician stood up and gave a graceful bow, smiling as she tucked the silver into her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Yun shook his head. She was clearly a noble lady of the capital, yet she always acted like a gang leader from the pugilistic world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, is that Chen Mo really that amazing?\" Lin Jingzhu put down her wine cup and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Yun nodded. \"He certainly has some skills. Even the Profound Jade couldn't sense the demon aura, yet he determined it was the work of the demon race with just one glance. His eye for detail is terrifying; no wonder even Qin Wuxiang fell into his hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingzhu’s willow-leaf eyebrows lifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting down the Ten Great Heavenly Demons had been her long-held wish, yet Chen Mo had snatched the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't jealousy, just some curiosity and a sense of being unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clatter, clatter, clatter—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the window, accompanied by bursts of startled cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two turned their heads to look outside and saw a burly man galloping toward them on horseback, waving a horsewhip and shouting angrily, \"Get out of the way, all of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pedestrians on the street scrambled to dodge. Some couldn't get out of the way in time and stumbled into nearby stalls, sending goods scattering across the ground. In an instant, the whole street was in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl who had just bought a sugar figurine was skipping along the street; before she could react, the charging, fiery horse was already right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dandan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman’s heart-wrenching scream came from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, looking for death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In full view of everyone, trampling someone to death in the street was no small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble, so he pulled the reins tight. The fiery horse neighed, its front hooves lifting, and it stopped right in front of the girl in a hair-raising display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the girl who had been frightened into a daze, the burly man looked displeased and raised his hand to lash out with the whip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind whistled with fierce force; if the tip of the whip made contact, it would tear skin and flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Jingzhu’s eyebrows arched in anger; she rose, flipped out the window, and leaped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already too late. Just as the whip was about to strike the little girl’s face, a black shadow flashed over, scooping up the girl with one hand while the other hand firmly caught the whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man frowned and looked over to see a man with a tall, straight figure standing before him, dressed in a black profound robe, his hair tied with a jade headband, and a jade pendant hanging at his waist. He was truly dashing, handsome, and extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked just like a wealthy young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Galloping in a busy market, fifty lashes—go to the government office to receive your punishment yourself,\" Chen Mo said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man sneered. \"Who do you think you are, daring to punish me? Get lost, or you won't be able to bear the consequences of delaying my business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he tried to yank the whip back, but no matter how much force he exerted, the whip remained taut and motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo gave a light tug, and a surging, immense force traveled through. The burly man’s vision blurred, and he was thrown solidly onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You motherf...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to get up, a foot stepped onto his chest, instantly sealing his qi meridians; he couldn't even lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man knew he had encountered a tough character and frowned. \"Six Gates? Or the Heavenly Qilin Guard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo shook his head. \"A concerned citizen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"……\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was under the feet of the Son of Heaven; one brick thrown could hit a whole crowd of high-ranking officials and nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was young, had an extraordinary bearing, and his strength was even above his own; he was clearly a hard nut to crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man suppressed his anger and forced a smile. \"I really do have urgent business, which is why I was impulsive. I accept the punishment for this matter; I hope you can show some mercy, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo didn't say much more; he was just passing by and couldn't be bothered to entangle himself with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his foot, released the burly man, and handed the little girl in his arms to the pale-faced woman nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman thanked him repeatedly, but she didn't even dare to look at the burly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Common folk without backing could only swallow their teeth when they were broken; it was a blessing that the child was unharmed, so how could they dare to pursue the other party’s responsibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember to go to the government office to receive your lashes,\" Chen Mo reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man nodded, though his eyes were full of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a verbal promise anyway; what could they do if he didn't go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, what bad luck, running into a meddlesome busybody...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was preparing to mount his horse, a cold voice came: \"No need to go to the government office; let's just do it here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man was about to turn his head when a fierce wind whistled behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was sent flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in white walked over, carrying a pitch-black long staff in her hand, her wrist rotating as the weapon whistled through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty-nine left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She licked her lips, swung the long staff in a full circle, and smashed it down violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood and was swept away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his body could land, the woman flashed behind him and smashed him into the ground with one strike, the blue bricks shattering into powder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff danced, striking his body one blow after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty-seven, forty-six, forty-five...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s staff technique was fierce, and she counted methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop! Do you know who I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man, having no power to fight back against the airtight rain of blows, endured the intense pain and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty-seven, thirty-six... I know, you're a criminal. Don't interrupt, or I'll lose count... what was it just now? Forget it, thirty-seven...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bitch... ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street was deathly silent, echoing only with the sound of the black staff striking flesh and the burly man’s piercing wails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did this tigress come from?
