Chapter 30: Second Investigation of Phoenix Street

Looking at Laogui before him, Steward Wang sighed in his heart.

He recalled his conversation with that Second Young Master during the day.

"Steward Wang, there is no need for us to make a move now; this Laogui will act in our stead."

"Young Master, can we really trust this Laogui?"

"No harm in letting him have a try. However, this Laogui is cunning and treacherous; if he encounters difficulties this time, he will likely grease the soles of his feet and slip away directly."

"Just block him here tonight and see what he does."

The Second Young Master was truly brilliant, having accurately calculated that this Laogui would try to slip away, and had sent him here to keep watch.

Laogui felt somewhat awkward.

He wanted to slip away, only to be caught red-handed?

This Steward Wang was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage of body tempering, nothing more than an ant to him. But one must consider the master before beating the dog, and behind him stood that Young Master Ye.

He could not afford to offend him.

Otherwise, there would be no place for him to stay in the entire Beijun.

"I, this old man, just wanted to go out for a walk; after all, isn't this Sanshan Gathering very lively at night?"

Laogui said with a smile, attempting to cover it up.

"So that is how it is, but my Second Young Master requests your presence."

Steward Wang said indifferently.

At the Demon Suppression Division station, Li Heng looked at the ashes left behind by this female Weird and was lost in thought.

These ashes were actually left behind by him on purpose, as he wanted to use them as a medium to track the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, his Sun True Fire was far too overbearing; if he were not careful, not even ashes would remain, and then he would be unable to lock onto the aura to track it using the Myriad-Mile Soul-Chasing technique.

The Ghost Domain dissipated, and the great commotion that occurred during this time naturally could not be hidden from Xu Liang and He Qing, who had not yet fallen asleep.

They were puzzled and walked into the courtyard one after another, then saw the mess at the scene and were instantly stunned.

What on earth had happened?

Why was there a large hole in the wall? Why was that lord from Bei'an City standing in the middle of the courtyard?

Li Heng saw the two of them walk out and looked at them.

"You two clean up the ashes here and put them in a box." He pointed to the ashes on the ground.

Xu Liang saw the ashes on the ground and trembled slightly. "My Lord, you say these are ashes? Whose ashes are these?" He was completely stunned.

Could it be that this place used to be a burial ground?

"Whose else could they be? Naturally, they are the Weird's."

"Clean it up properly, and while you're at it, repair the hole in the wall. I am going back to rest."

Having said this, Li Heng turned and left directly.

The two were instantly dumbfounded. The Weird's?

So the reason the scene was in such a mess was because this lord had fought a great battle here with a Weird?

But why hadn't they noticed just now?

They looked at each other and immediately thought of a possibility, feeling horrified in their hearts. Could it be a Weird that possessed a Ghost Domain? One of those evil ghosts amidst such Terror?!

Could this lord even deal with such a Weird? They marveled in their hearts, both realizing that he was no simple person.

After their surprise, they withdrew their thoughts and began the miserable task of repairing the wall. This lord was powerful, certainly, but wasn't he too rough when fighting? Was he doing demolition work?

They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts.

Tired and worn out, it wasn't until late at night that they finished repairing the wall, and then they inadvertently saw the hole outside Li Heng's room, and were instantly left in disarray.

So there was another one?

Is this lord really from the Demon Suppression Division? Or is he in the Ministry of Works doing demolition? If he keeps on demolishing like this, will this station even be left standing?

He Qing could still be relieved, as he didn't want to stay here anyway, but rather wanted to return to Bei'an City.

But Xu Liang felt somewhat miserable, as he had long regarded the station as his home after all these years.

This was tearing down his home.

The next morning.

The Sun hung high, above the heavens, casting down boundless light, illuminating the human world and causing Evil Demons and Weirds to retreat.

Although it was early morning.

The Sanshan Gathering was already incredibly lively; villagers from nearby villages had also come to the market, the streets were filled with an endless stream of people, and the small vendors nearby began to hawk their wares incessantly.

Breakfast stalls, snack stalls, wontons, baked flatbreads, and large meat buns emitted enticing aromas, desperately drilling into the noses of passersby, trying to entice them to stop.

At this time, Li Heng and the other two had already arrived on the main street.

Having rested for the night, Li Heng felt refreshed. However, the two beside him were miserable; having worked hard for nearly the whole night, their eyes were rimmed with dark circles, and they looked extremely haggard.

Li Heng couldn't help but shake his head; these two lads were no good.

They had absolutely no potential for "cultivating immortality."

One must know that the path of "cultivating immortality" is like sailing against the current; if you do not advance, you retreat. How could they go on like this?

"You two are weak to an unbelievable degree. I'll treat you to this meal today; eat something good." Li Heng shook his head.

He sat down directly at a breakfast stall.

A day's plan starts with eating, after all.

"Shopkeeper, bring two bowls of wontons. Remember, big meat wontons; don't give me 'dough skins' and try to fool me with no meat. What are you two still standing there for? Sit down."

He Qing and Xu Liang looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts, but due to the pressure, they had no choice but to sit down.

What was this all about? They were dignified Demon Exorcists. Running to a peasant's stall to eat—what kind of decorum was this?

Of course.

They only dared to say such things in their hearts.

A while later, He Qing and Xu Liang were also eating with gusto.

These wontons were indeed quite good.

Li Heng chuckled inwardly, thinking: saying no, but being quite honest with your mouths? And to think you were so disdainful before.

"Shopkeeper, bill please."

After finishing and paying the bill, Li Heng continued to wander the streets of the Sanshan Gathering, which left the two of them very puzzled; what was this lord doing again? Observing the terrain?

But hadn't he already observed it yesterday?

In fact, Li Heng was secretly employing the Ten Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Art, using that box of ashes as a medium to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, they soon stopped in the middle of the street. For no other reason than that there were too many people around, and the vitality was too overwhelming, directly dispersing the aura related to that Weird female.

It seemed he would have to consume essence blood and use a Rune to search.

The three of them came to a secluded corner.

"Bring that box of ashes over."

Hearing Li Heng's command, Xu Liang hurriedly placed the ashes of the Weird female into Li Heng's hands.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xu Liang and He Qing, Li Heng directly used his essence blood as a guide to draw a Rune in the Void, causing pale red light patterns to emerge before him.

Xu Liang was stunned; wasn't this his Tracking Secret Technique? But hadn't this lord only taken that secret technique for one night? He had mastered it so quickly?

How could this be possible?

Furthermore, didn't using this secret technique require consuming essence blood and causing internal depletion? Why did he feel that this lord was not affected in the slightest?

Could it be that this lord had practiced it before?

Yes, it must be so.

He comforted himself with this thought.

Li Heng ignored the two people whose hearts were in such turmoil and walked straight ahead along the pale red light patterns, and the two returned to their senses and followed closely behind.

After using essence blood as a guide, the tracking effect was greatly enhanced; even if the aura had been dispersed, it could still be tracked.

Soon, they arrived at Feng Huang Jie once again. They stopped in front of a house that was somewhat dilapidated yet also somewhat luxurious, and saw the same weeping old woman from yesterday.

Li Heng fell silent.
