Chapter 632: The Truth Comes Out

~25 min read 4,953 words

Li Li Banfeng sat by Chu Chu Yaoxian's bed, listening to her talk about the various pasts of knowing He He Jiaqing.

It could be heard that Chu Chu Yaoxian admired He He Jiaqing very much; she cherished the fate of knowing and understanding He He Jiaqing. Of course, she cherished her own life even more; she didn't miss a single thing that should be said.

Li Li Banfeng didn't kill Chu Chu Yaoxian; he let Chu Chu Yaoxian manage the territory well, manage the fate well, and report the progress every two days.

This wasn't just talking casually; the two signed a contract, and there were detailed regulations on the content that should be reported. If Chu Chu Yaoxian didn't report on time, she would have to pay a heavy price.

The next morning, Li Li Banfeng left Chu Chu Yaoxian's territory and called Old Luo: "Contact Liao Liao Zihui, pinch all of He He Jiaqing's businesses. Goods arriving at the station are not allowed to be shipped, and goods that have been transported halfway are to be detained on the spot!"

Old Luo hurriedly went to the Guanfang Hall, and after more than an hour, he called back.

Li Li Banfeng thought something had gone wrong at the Guanfang Hall, but Luo Zhengnan replied: "Seventh Brother, General Manager Liao agreed to the matter and has already ordered people to take action. The owner of Ling Miaosheng Phonograph Firm wants to see you; he says he has something important to tell you in person."

Important matter?

Li Li Banfeng first thought of the situation in the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom. Ling Ling Miaosheng had said that as soon as he found his memories back, he would tell Li Qi immediately.

Li Li Banfeng had indeed guessed right. Ling Ling Miaosheng remembered quite a few things and was sitting anxiously in the phonograph firm at

This room had no phonograph, no musical instruments, and not even a window.

"Brother Brother Qiye, this is a room I specially arranged to prevent others from spying. I dare not say much about other places, but I guarantee there are no hooks here."

Ling Ling Miaosheng was a high-level Peeping Cultivator with a cultivation base around the eighth layer. After a trip to the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom, his combat power might be even higher. The room he designed could indeed guarantee secrecy within a certain range.

His memories were complex. Ling Ling Miaosheng organized his thoughts and told Li Li Banfeng the important matters one by one: "Boss Li, I fought in the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom, and my opponents were the Demon Army." Li Li Banfeng blinked but did not speak.

He did not know the reason why Ling Ling Miaosheng fought in the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom, nor did he know the origin of the Demon Army.

Ling Ling Miaosheng explained: "After I arrived in the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom, I quickly recovered my previous memories. I had lived for a long time in a place called Broken Snow City. I had some friends in Broken Snow City who had helped me, and I intended to repay their kindness.

By the time I arrived in Broken Snow City, I happened to encounter the invasion of the Demon Army. I joined the Broken Snow City army and fought them for over a month.

I was injured in the battle and almost lost my life. Through this battle, I saw the most shameless side of human nature in the Demon Army.

I recorded this experience in a musical score, wanting to awaken these tragic memories through music. For a time, I even felt that these things were all in vain.

Broken Snow City was about to be breached by the Demon Army. I once thought it was impossible for me to leave Outer Amikan alive. In despair, I suddenly received news that Outer Outer Amikan had taken action.

They first sent a large amount of weapons, and then they sent troops to participate in the battle. The situation in Inner Outer Amikan was the same as in Pu Luo Province; gunpowder was difficult to ignite there, and the propagation of electromagnetic signals was also greatly restricted.

The Outer Outer Amikan army was extremely unaccustomed to this mode of combat and suffered heavy losses in Broken Snow City, but they did not give up the fight and won the war several months later.

I asked my friends in Broken Snow City why Outer Outer Amikan wanted to participate in this war.

They found out that the Demon Army was infiltrating outward. Many places in the Outer Provinces had already seen their people, even including the Da Huan Kingdom.

The Outer Amikan Kingdom was severely infiltrated by the Demon Army. If Inner Outer Amikan were conquered by the Demon Army, Outer Outer Amikan would face the predicament of being attacked from both front and back." "Does the Da Huan Kingdom also have the Demon Army?"

Ling Ling Miaosheng nodded: "This is just a guess. Without conclusive clues, the Outer Amikan Kingdom will not provide any information." Li Li Banfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Who makes up the Demon Army?"

Ling Ling Miaosheng sighed: "It's unbelievable to say, but the Demon Army is composed of Outer Amikan people. My friends in Broken Snow City told me that these people were born on this land, but their souls came from hell.

At the beginning of the war, all the towns were completely unprepared for them. By the time they were prepared, there was no more strength left to fight this group of enemies." Li Li Banfeng said: "The Demon Army is composed of Outer Amikan people, which means the Demon Army is a native Outer Amikan dark energy organization?"

Ling Ling Miaosheng nodded slightly: "You can understand it that way." Are there still dark energy organizations composed of Outer Amikan people in the Da Huan Kingdom?

Li Li Banfeng searched his memory; there were some, but none of them amounted to much.

They were native to the Outer Amikan Kingdom, so could they also be native when they arrived in the Da Huan Kingdom?

Ling Ling Miaosheng's memory had not recovered much, and Li Li Banfeng could not verify it through him. "In what era was the Demon Army born?"

Ling Ling Miaosheng thought carefully: "It's been quite a while. According to my friends, it seems to be several decades." This could be verified by finding someone.

Li Li Banfeng bid farewell to Ling Ling Miaosheng and flew to Mount Rongku.

Late at night, the Rongku God Cui Ti was sitting on the hillside lecturing a group of strange monsters:

"Rongku represents rise and fall, represents survival and death, and represents the most magnificent journey on the path of life. Exploring the mystery between Rong and Ku is equivalent to a love for life. This love should not only be expressed in words but also reflected in the actions of each of us!"

As he spoke, Cui Ti pulled open his collar, revealing four large characters on his chest: "I love life!" A group of strange monsters sat in a circle, watching quietly.

They knew that Mount Rongku was different from before. On this mountain, it was no longer possible to see the scenery of the four seasons on the same day; now there was only a vast expanse of white snow. But now, foraging and hunting on the mountain would no longer be punished by the Rongku God.

They knew that the Rongku God was also different from before. Although Cui Ti used the art of disguise, his speech and behavior were very different from Rong Rong Sijiao. But the current Rongku God was very easygoing, even though some of the things he said were not so easy to understand.

A doe transformed into human form, lowered her head, slowly walked to Cui Ti, and performed a pious salute.

She didn't quite understand the Rongku God's words, but she agreed with one point: love must be reflected in action.

"Rongku God, I need you to help me resolve my doubts, doubts originating from life," the doe showed her chest, "Please bestow these five characters upon me. I want to leave the five characters 'I love Rongku God' on my chest!"

Cui Ti confirmed seriously: "Is it to bestow upon you, or to tattoo upon you?" The doe said with tears in her eyes: "I will listen to you!"

Cui Ti's expression was solemn as he slowly reached out his hand. He was about to touch her.

A cold wind blew, splashing snow all over the ground. Li Li Banfeng walked out from the snow, scaring the doe and the group of strange monsters into hiding to the side. "Rongku God, I have something to ask you."

Cui Ti looked at the group of strange monsters, focusing on the doe's chest. He carefully observed the size; the five large characters "I love Rongku God" would fit very well there.

But now that Li Li Banfeng was here, Cui Ti was helpless and could only send the strange monsters away: "Go down the mountain and comprehend the life force of the alternation of Rong and Ku by yourselves. When the sun rises tomorrow, tell me your feelings."

The strange monsters went down the mountain one after another. Cui Ti said with a dark face: "What on earth do you have to come to me for at this time?" Li Li Banfeng asked seriously: "Rongku God, I need you to help me resolve my doubts, doubts originating from the Demon Army!"

"Demon Army?" Cui Ti shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Looking at Cui Ti's expression, Li Li Banfeng's heart turned cold. It seemed that Cui Ti didn't know much about dark energy users when he was in the Inner Outer Amikan Kingdom. Li Li Banfeng was about to get up and leave when Cui Ti suddenly asked: "You mean the servants of the Demon Lord, right?"

The names were so different; was there a connection between the two?

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment; there really might be a connection. The language of the Outer Amikan Kingdom was not Ling Ling Miaosheng's native language, and the language of Pu Luo Province was not Cui Ti's native language. These were names translated by the two, and it was very normal for differences to exist.

Li Li Banfeng began with a preliminary confirmation: "Are the servants of the Demon Lord all Outer Amikan people?" Cui Ti thought carefully: "In the Outer Amikan Kingdom, they are all Outer Amikan people." "What if it's not in the Outer Amikan Kingdom?"

Cui Ti was silent for a long time, looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "Can I not answer this question?" "Are you in a difficult position?"

"You could say that. Because I have common pursuits with the servants of the Demon Lord to a certain extent.

In my hometown, I once wanted to join the ranks of the servants of the Demon Lord. I even made a vow for this, not to betray the organization and members of the servants of the Demon Lord.

Although I didn't join the ranks of the servants of the Demon Lord in the end due to differences in philosophy, a vow is a vow. There are some things I cannot reveal too much to you, at least not actively."

Cui Ti's meaning was very clear; there were some things he couldn't say explicitly, but he could help Li Li Banfeng judge. Li Li Banfeng first asked: "What do you mean by the differences between you and the servants of the Demon Lord?"

"Both they and I are keen on killing, but in my view, killing is to make life more valuable. This is the embodiment of the highest respect for life.

But the servants of the Demon Lord regard killing as a means to trample on life. Their actions are full of contempt and blasphemy for life, which is something I cannot tolerate.

There is one more thing that makes me even more unable to tolerate it: their motivation for killing is mixed with a lot of ignorant loyalty. Sometimes it is ignorant loyalty from the bottom of their hearts, and sometimes it is an excuse for them to trample on life. This baseness and hypocrisy are truly disgusting."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "To whom are they loyal? Is it the Inner Provinces?"

Cui Ti said: "That depends on where it is. The Outer Amikan Kingdom is used to calling that place the Demon Realm, while the Rafsha Kingdom is used to calling it the territory of Chernobog. By the way, the Rafsha Kingdom is the place of origin of the servants of the Demon Lord, but in the Rafsha Kingdom, this organization has another name."

This sentence explained many things clearly.

The servants of the Demon Lord originated in the Rafsha Kingdom, but in the Outer Amikan Kingdom, their members were all native Outer Amikan people. By inference, when they arrived in the Da Huan Kingdom, their members would be native Da Huan people.

Cui Ti continued: "I admire their members. Although they don't have a Daoist sect, they have mastered many national spells, and many spells have long since disappeared from this world."

Mastered many spells.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "There is an organization in the Da Huan Kingdom called the Hundred Demon Workshop. Have you heard of it?"

Cui Ti was noncommittal: "Hundred Demon Workshop, with such a name, they must be very close to the devil, perhaps as close as a servant is to their master." Li Li Banfeng got up to leave, and Cui Ti asked him to wait a moment.

He prepared a tube of medicine, plugged it, and handed it to Li Li Banfeng: "I have a collaborator surnamed Du who might also be very close to the devil recently. This tube of medicine is a life-saving straw for him, but a fatal lesion for others.

Take this tube of medicine, and I believe my collaborator will listen to you very well." Was he talking about Du Du Wenming?

When had Du Du Wenming ever collaborated with Cui Ti?

Li Li Banfeng took the medicine: "You don't intend to collaborate with him in the future?"

Cui Ti shook his head: "If he becomes a servant of the devil, my collaborative relationship with him should end.

And even if the collaboration with him were successful, the value of the collaboration itself cannot be compared with the friendship between us." Cui Ti picked up a spray bottle and watered the small flowers in the tin can.

Li Li Banfeng took the test tube and left Mount Rongku.

On the way, Li Li Banfeng called Luo Zhengnan and asked him to immediately inform Liao Liao Zihui that the Hundred Demon Workshop was an organization sent by the Inner Provinces and had just provoked a war in the Outer Amikan Kingdom, asking Shen Shen Jingye to be extremely careful in dealing with it.

Luo Zhengnan went to the Security Office and told Liao Liao Zihui the news. Liao Liao Zihui immediately sent someone to convey the news to Shen Shen Jingye.

Shen Shen Jingye replied on the spot: "Please tell Director Li that I will convey the relevant news to my superiors. I have already made deployments for the next step. Please rest assured, Director Li..." At this moment, Li Li Banfeng was rushing toward Iron Gate Fort.

Shen Shen Jingye's deployment was indeed appropriate, but Li Li Banfeng could not rest easy.

Although the Hundred Demon Workshop in different regions might have differences, an organization that could make the Outer Amikan Kingdom suffer definitely could not rely solely on the Dark Star Bureau to deal with it. Not to mention there was also a Du Du Wenming.

This bird-man was too familiar with the Dark Star Bureau.

Du Du Wenming danced his way into the Drum Garden Farm.

Li Li Banfeng was right to worry; Du Du Wenming was too familiar with the Dark Star Bureau. He was familiar with their patrol habits, familiar with their shift change times, and even knew the blind spots in the field of view during drone patrols like the back of his hand.

Arriving near the prison cell, Du Du Wenming walked around the boundary and quickly sensed a rift near the boundary.

This rift was a natural entrance to a wormhole. The electromagnetic cannon made by Yu Yu Yaoming could automatically lock onto the exit and entrance of the wormhole and could tear the entrance and exit to a degree that allowed humans to pass through.

Du Du Wenming could sense the location of the entrance; he could even use his dance steps to drill directly into the narrow entrance. But the key problem was whether he could get out. The exit was much harder to find than the entrance. Every time Du Du Wenming entered a wormhole, he had to prepare himself mentally; he might be trapped in the wormhole for a lifetime.

As things stood, he had to take a gamble. Du Du Wenming gritted his teeth and entered the wormhole, running along a fixed direction to the opposite side. After fumbling for less than twenty minutes, he found the exit. A stone in his heart temporarily landed. Du Du Wenming drilled out of the wormhole and arrived next to the prison cell.

The next thing was easy to handle.

A suspect named Lei Lei Yuze was sitting in the cell, dazed.

He was very afraid. He didn't know what crime he had committed. He had gone through all kinds of hardships to become an official member of the Hundred Demon Workshop, and he hadn't even had time to learn a real spell before being locked up in this kind of place.

While annoyed, he suddenly discovered that there was one more person in the prison cell, looking at him expressionlessly. Lei Lei Yuze looked toward the door, and at this moment, he had the urge to call for someone.

Du Du Wenming signaled Lei Lei Yuze to stay calm. He entered the cell and whispered: "I was sent by the workshop to save you. Workshop Master Pei asked me to ask you one thing: have you completed the task assigned to you by the workshop?"

"Completed!" Lei Lei Yuze answered without thinking.

In fact, he didn't understand Du Du Wenming's words, and the Hundred Demon Workshop hadn't assigned any special tasks to Lei Lei Yuze; after all, Lei Lei Yuze had just become an official member. But if he didn't answer the question according to this person's line of thought, the other party might not save him.

Du Du Wenming asked again: "What is the task assigned to you by the workshop?"

Lei Lei Yuze pondered for a moment and replied: "The Workshop Master has an order not to reveal the content of the task to anyone." Du Du Wenming darkened his face and said: "If you can't say the content of the task, I won't take you out."

Lei Lei Yuze did not loosen his grip: "I cannot violate the Workshop Master's order!"

Du Du Wenming frowned slightly: "Then you'll have to suffer a little."

Lei Lei Yuze knew something was wrong. He wanted to call for someone, but he couldn't make a sound.

Du Du Wenming twisted his right ankle clockwise, and Lei Lei Yuze's ankle twisted accordingly, his toes twisting directly behind him. Under the intense pain, Lei Lei Yuze's tears flowed out. Du Du Wenming was startled; a core member of the Hundred Demon Workshop shouldn't be this fragile.

He twisted his left ankle again, and Lei Lei Yuze's left foot twisted again, almost causing him to faint from the pain.

After some torture, Lei Lei Yuze told the truth: "The Workshop Master didn't assign me a task. I only became an official member last month."

"Last month..." Du Du Wenming was stunned for a long time. He turned his neck slightly, and Lei Lei Yuze's neck turned a full circle accordingly. His spine broke, and Lei Lei Yuze died on the spot. This person was not a core member.

What about the others?

Du Du Wenming entered several rooms one after another. Soon, he reached a conclusion: none of these people were core members. Where on earth were the core members?

Du Du Wenming's temple jumped, realizing he had been tricked. He found the wormhole entrance and immediately drilled into it.

But this time he wasn't so lucky. After an hour, he still couldn't find the exit...

Dark Star Bureau, interrogation room, Shen Shen Jingye was interrogating core member Geng Geng Shunxi.

Yesterday, Chen Chen Zhangrui discovered hidden dangers in the farm, and Shen Shen Jingye immediately increased the level of protection.

But Shen Shen Jingye knew very well that it was difficult to solve the problem just by guarding strictly. He escorted the core members of the Hundred Demon Workshop back to the Dark Star Bureau overnight and sent some ordinary members of little value to the Drum Garden Farm.

News came from the Drum Garden Farm that the suspect's body had been seen in the prison cell.

The Hundred Demon Workshop was in such a hurry to silence the witness, which gave Shen Shen Jingye a judgment: these core members possessed some important secrets.

According to the news found by Li Qi, this organization could launch a war in the Outer Amikan Kingdom, which meant they could threaten the safety of the entire Da Huan Kingdom.

Shen Shen Jingye asked people to increase the strength of the evaluator's carrier: "This is the last chance I'm giving you. Tell me, what plans do you have in the near future?" Geng Geng Shunxi curled up on the seat, tears streaming down his face as he said: "Our plan in the near future is to sell off all the organization's assets and disband all organization members.

We never thought about confronting you. We are just ordinary spell enthusiasts. Why treat us like this?" Relying on these two lines of tears, the Hundred Demon Workshop gained public opinion support from all sides.

Tonight, Shen Shen Jingye ignored these two lines of tears.

Even if he had to risk his own official position, he would get to the bottom of the matter!

Du Du Wenming drilled out of the wormhole, looking at the boundary behind him with lingering fear.

It took him a full three hours to find the exit of the wormhole. Even so, this result had a large element of luck for him. Dark Star Bureau agents had already discovered the body in the prison cell, and the entire farm had entered a state of high alert.

Shen Shen Jingye issued an order that the murderer must absolutely not be allowed to leave the farm. But he really didn't expect that the murderer would be Du Du Wenming.

Du Du Wenming knew all kinds of combat plans of the Dark Star Bureau by heart. He spent less than twenty minutes leaving the farm. After getting into the sedan, he immediately contacted Pei Pei Yurong.

"Workshop Master, we've been tricked. The Dark Star Bureau has transferred our core members elsewhere." "In other words, you failed." Although her tone was calm, Pei Pei Yurong was very annoyed.

Du Du Wenming said: "It's too early to say failure now. I know where the core members are, but now I need your cooperation. You send some people to create some cases in the city and try to make as much noise as possible."

Pei Pei Yurong thought for a moment and said: "You want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but who is the tiger?"

"The agents of the Dark Star Bureau are all tigers. If I can lure one out, my chances of winning will increase by one point. You must make the noise bigger..." Before he finished speaking, Du Du Wenming slammed on the brakes; a figure suddenly flashed past in front of him.

He looked carefully and saw someone reaching out to hitch a ride. In the Da Huan Kingdom, hitchhiking on the side of the road was rare.

Du Du Wenming didn't want to pay attention to this person and was just about to drive around when he suddenly saw the person outside the car lift his head and smile at him.

The other party was wearing a hat, covering most of his face, but the thin cheeks and the mustache on his upper lip still made Du Du Wenming shudder. Shopkeeper Lu!

How could he be here?

Du Du Wenming slammed the accelerator to the floor, but the car wouldn't move. A row of fine characters tightly hugged the wheels on the ground.

Du Du Wenming hurriedly used his communication equipment to contact Pei Pei Yurong: "Workshop Master, I've encountered an enemy, Shopkeeper Lu of the Lu Family Bookstore. You recognize this person; I need your help!" The white sedan was densely packed with characters, and Du Du Wenming had fallen into a heavy siege.

Pei Pei Yurong said: "Don't panic, I have a way to save you."

She called Liu Liu Cuishan and whispered: "Light the fuse at the Lu Family Bookstore."

Liu Liu Cuishan said: "Workshop Master, the fuse at the Lu Family Bookstore can only be used at a critical moment..." Pei Pei Yurong scolded: "Now is the critical moment!"

Liu Liu Cuishan hurriedly called several subordinates and quickly set up a magic array...

On the highway, the dense characters kept tearing at Du Du Wenming's sedan, and the carriage was twisted and deformed. Du Du Wenming was trapped in the car, unable to move or get out.

The space in the car was too narrow, making it difficult for Du Du Wenming to perform dance cultivation techniques. He could only rely on his arms to make two movements, trying his best to use his dance posture to disperse some of the characters.

Du Du Wenming's methods were very limited, while Shopkeeper Lu's characters were endless. He had brought the complete set of "Embroidery Xiu Xiu Shuang Ji" today with only one goal: to take Du Du Wenming's life without any physical contact.

In Shopkeeper Lu's view, physical contact was an act that insulted his dignity. More importantly, Du Du Wenming had lesions on his body, which made Shopkeeper Lu determined never to touch him. Du Du Wenming's dance posture gradually couldn't resist the surging characters. Once the characters seeped into the car, Du Du Wenming would have no way to escape.

Shopkeeper Lu revealed a smile, but suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Something had happened at the bookstore.

He flipped through a volume of "Embroidery Xiu Xiu Shuang Ji" and saw the situation at the bookstore on one of the illustrations. The bookstore had long since closed, and the hall was pitch black.

The magic box placed inside the counter opened its lid by itself.

Shopkeeper Lu was not too surprised; he knew this magic box was not simple.

The material and lock of the counter were very special. No matter what came out of this box, it would be impossible to get out of the counter. But the next scene made Shopkeeper Lu's heart hang in the air.

A man drilled out of the box, which was only a foot wide.

Without looking at his face, just by looking at his thin and small figure, Shopkeeper Lu had already recognized his identity. Laughing Xiao Qianshou!

The ancestor of the stealing sect had drilled out of the magic box.

This was the magic box the Hundred Demon Workshop sold to Shopkeeper Lu! Why would Laughing Xiao Qianshou have dealings with the Hundred Demon Workshop?

There was no time to think about this now, because the lock on the counter couldn't stop Laughing Xiao Qianshou at all! Laughing Xiao Qianshou easily opened the counter and walked into the hall.

He was about to walk toward the bookshelf.

Laughing Xiao Qianshou had stolen things from the Lu Family Bookstore before; he knew the bookshelf carried a special magic array.

If there was a gap in the boundary of the Three-Headed Fork at this moment, Laughing Xiao Qianshou only needed to use a certain speed to walk around a specific bookshelf twice to bypass into Pu Luo Province. If he were allowed to enter the bookstore in Pu Luo Province, Laughing Xiao Qianshou didn't know how many things he would steal, and he might even take Yu Yu Yaoming away!

What to do?

If he went back now, it would be equivalent to letting Du Du Wenming go.

If he didn't go back now, he might lose all his family assets. A cold wind blew, and the characters around the sedan dissipated with the wind.

Du Du Wenming poked his head out of the car window and looked around, but did not see Shopkeeper Lu's figure.

In the Lu Family Bookstore, Laughing Xiao Qianshou had just walked toward the second row of bookshelves when he suddenly saw Shopkeeper Lu walking out from behind the bookshelf. "This guest, our shop is closed. If you want to buy books, please come early in your next life."

Laughing Xiao Qianshou looked up and laughed: "Zhou Zhou Badou, you want to kill me? Is it that easy?"

Shopkeeper Lu casually pulled two books from the bookshelf: "Old Pincers, you came to seek death yourself, so naturally I should fulfill your wish." PS: Old Pincers is an old-fashioned term for a pickpocket.
