although he had already been executed by slow slicing, he had left behind enough testimony and provided He Jian with much critical information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other key figure was a former special lecturer at the Martial University, Chen Xiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had been specifically arranged by Lu Wenzheng to frame the Iron Peak Sect, drawing the Iron Peak Sect into the trap so that Xu Jing would have the opportunity to use the [Black Water] divine ability to devour the [Cloud Soaring] divine ability of the Iron Peak Sect Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Chen Xiang was captured and forced by Li Fei to provide a confession; he had been imprisoned by the Datong Prefecture government for these past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having mastered these two key figures was enough for He Jian to uncover many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was now a Level 16 Blue Patrol Special Envoy; he was investigating the case under imperial decree and had the authority to mobilize the entire strength of the Feng Province Inspection Department to assist him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Inspector General of the Feng Province provincial capital's Inspection Department was one of Lu Wenzheng's men, following Li Fei's previous \"counterattack,\" the Datong Prefecture Inspection General Office had frequently sent people to the provincial capital's Inspection Department to arrest and interrogate officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, most of the officials in the provincial capital's Inspection Department were filled with fear, and a portion of those whose resolve was not so firm no longer intended to continue standing on Lu Wenzheng's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the news spread that the Crown Prince was acting as regent and Li Fei had become a \"Grand Councilor,\" more officials began to waver!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when He Jian brought his men to the provincial capital to investigate, he had been mentally prepared to receive cold treatment and various obstacles, but he had not expected that many officials would instead actively cooperate and take the initiative to show favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the investigation progressed even more smoothly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly, when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jian's female disciple, Yuan Mengfei, could not help but remark after walking out of the Inspection Department's main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Crown Prince acting as regent, the momentum is now on the side of the Marquis; these people are sycophants, so they naturally know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another of He Jian's disciples said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jian turned his head to look at them, and the disciples immediately stopped discussing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus on the investigation; is the fate of the world something for you to worry about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man reprimanded them, then led his disciples all the way to the Lu residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Central Inspection Pavilion, here on orders to investigate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the Lu residence, He Jian presented his token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the guards at the gate still did not let them pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two sides were in a standoff, the Lu residence steward walked out and bowed to He Jian with a calm expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder He, may I ask what you are here to investigate? This is the residence of the Lord Inspector; please forgive us for not being able to let you enter as you please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qi Ming died, He Jian officially cracked the New Heaven Society case, after which he \"leaped over the dragon gate,\" being promoted one level to become a Level 16 Pavilion Official!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although his official rank was equal to Li Fei's, the power he wielded was far from comparable to Li Fei's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His promotion this time was largely due to the Emperor giving face to Li Fei, combined with the merits he had accumulated in the past, which was why he was elevated to Pavilion Official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the promotion, what He Jian gained were honors and various benefits; his substantive power did not increase much, at most making it more convenient than before when handling cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for He Jian, this was already enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said expressionlessly: \"I am here to interrogate Lu Yuqi; I have sufficient evidence to prove that this person is involved in a treason case from several years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name Lu Yuqi, the steward's expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was the nephew of the family head, Lu Wenzheng, and was the one who truly held power within the Lu family's main line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologies, Young Master Yuqi is not at the residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward bowed slightly and said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jian had anticipated this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had the authority granted by Li Fei, it was not enough to allow him to force his way into the residence of an Inspector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then please convey to Lu Yuqi that once he receives the message, he should consciously come to the Inspection Department to cooperate with the investigation. If he does not arrive within three days, we will treat it as fleeing in fear of crime, and we will issue a warrant for his arrest directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no longer the \"detective\" who could be easily driven away from the gates of the Prince Cheng residence back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Pavilion Official himself, and with the \"Great Blue's First Marquis\" backing him, He Jian was full of spirit when investigating cases!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he ignored the steward and turned to leave with his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward's expression was heavy as he hurried back to report to Lu Wenzheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Wenzheng was handling matters in his office in the government building; after receiving the news, he said expressionlessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Lu Yuqi to go to the Inspection Department to cooperate with the investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he hung up the phone and lit a cigarette in his office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the smoke, his eyes were vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well that the Shangguan Xiao case alone was not enough to convict him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was only a beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push; once the Shangguan Xiao case was overturned and core members of the Lu family were imprisoned, it would be enough to make those opportunists outside lean toward Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would also be enough to make many officials standing on his side choose to betray him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, it would not just be the Shangguan Xiao case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Li Fei first stripped him of his official robes, coupled with the targeting from within the Lu family, he would be completely finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been a \"chess player\" for so many years, Lu Wenzheng could almost clearly see how Li Fei would step by step \"checkmate\" him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet none of his countermeasures had been effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting in his office for over ten minutes, Lu Wenzheng picked up the receiver, dialed the rotary, and made a call:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where has he arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speed it up; tell the other party that the transaction will begin tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the night sky, the Feng Province provincial capital was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lower city district, the wheels of rickshaws rolled over the bluestone ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melodious music drifted from the stained-glass windows of the \"Red Sleeve Dance Hall,\" and girls in canary-colored cheongsams leaned against the vermilion railings, constantly waving at the guests coming and going below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin man wearing a black outer robe walked into the main entrance of the \"Red Sleeve Dance Hall\" with a cold expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dance hall was crowded with people coming and going, but wherever the man passed, the crowd automatically parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft force quietly pushed these people aside, without anyone noticing anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man arrived at a corner of the first-floor lobby and showed a small card to the two security guards stationed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two security guards glanced at the card and let the man walk into the corridor behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor was pitch black, with only a little light leaking through the cracks of the door at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man did not hesitate in the slightest, walking straight toward the door at the end, then pushed it open and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the door was a magnificent, gold-adorned hall; the hall was divided into two levels, with people standing on the stairs and the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, there were actually over a dozen martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man swept his gaze over these people, a hint of disdain appearing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the person in charge sitting on the sofa, an elderly man who was dressed meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man's name was Zhao Qidong; in the lower city district of the provincial capital, he was called \"Master Dong\" and was a famous big shot in the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for what Master Dong or underworld big shot, in the man's eyes, they were all just stinking fish and rotten shrimp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for being wary of the forces behind the other party, he would not have come here to trade face-to-face with Zhao Qidong tonight; he would have long since robbed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I presume this is the famous 'Black Evil God'? A pleasure, a pleasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong took the initiative to stand up and bow with cupped hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Evil God\" Jiang Ye, a famous demonic martial artist in the underworld, was a Martial Arts Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Jiang Ye's strength and realm, he was indeed qualified to look down on Zhao Qidong and the others before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not qualified to talk to me; call the person behind you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye ignored Zhao Qidong and walked straight to the sofa opposite to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong's expression stiffened, and he was somewhat annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at Jiang Ye: \"What does Brother Jiang mean by this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, without Jiang Ye making any move, a bone-chilling, sinister coldness instantly enveloped the entire scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Zhao Qidong, a Dao Foundation realm expert, all the martial artists present felt their entire bodies go cold, their minds as if soaked in cold corpse water, filled with the stench of rot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong's vision even went black, seeing a giant, pale-skinned palm appear beneath his feet, reaching out to grab him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrified, he shouted out, subconsciously wanting to erupt with force and activate his defensive transcendent ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a powerful suction force emanated from the palm below, pinning him firmly in place, and the force he erupted was also rapidly corroded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhao Qidong thought he was going to die, all the scenes suddenly vanished, and he returned to the brightly lit hall once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dao Force?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong looked at Jiang Ye, his eyes filled with horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye did not even look at him, saying coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are also worthy of calling me brother? Within ten breaths, if the person behind you does not come out, I will kill all of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qidong was instantly drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these years, he had lived in luxury, relying on his background to sail smoothly in the provincial capital, gradually feeling that he was also a big shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had encountered a demonic martial artist who completely disregarded the rules, he realized that in front of a true powerhouse, he did not even have the qualifications to stand and speak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap! Clap! Clap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Applause suddenly came from upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes and looked up, only to see a sturdy, middle-aged man dressed in fine silk and possessing an extraordinary bearing walking down from the second floor with composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miao Lang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye looked at the person who had arrived and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded; he was indeed the only Martial Arts Master realm retainer of the Lu family, Miao Lang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he ran for a seat in the Feng Province Blue Patrol Pavilion, he had represented the Lu family in the election, only to lose to Li Fei in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Miao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him, Zhao Qidong felt as if he had found his backbone; he immediately regained his confidence and shouted hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true background was the Lu family, and he was managing the underworld forces in the provincial capital on their behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miao Lang's next sentence left him terrified:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Brother Jiang wishes to kill, feel free to do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a flash of murderous intent crossed Jiang Ye's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He viewed this as a provocation against himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he remained seated on the sofa without making any move, using neither supernatural abilities nor internal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, the entire hall became icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen or so martial artists, including Zhao Qidong, suddenly groaned and then fell one after another, all of them bleeding from their seven orifices, and the blood that flowed out was black!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the corpses of these people also rotted rapidly, eventually turning into pools of putrid liquid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, only Jiang Ye and Miao Lang remained alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Ye kill his own men, Miao Lang remained indifferent, calmly walking over to the sofa where Zhao Qidong had just been sitting and sitting opposite Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's body tensed, and he entered a state of alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a single-ability Martial Arts Master, while Miao Lang was a dual-ability one, whose combat power was a grade higher than his own, so he could not afford to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really wasn't easy to invite Brother Jiang here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was not a local martial artist of Feng Province, but a demonic titan from another province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had crossed provinces to come here this time was that he was attracted by a deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic martial artists usually do not absorb implants themselves to slowly cultivate and refine them within their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they directly plunder mature implants from the bodies of others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this method is fast and allows for quick success, the risks are high, it is prone to going out of control, and it is even easier to make enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the martial arts world, demonic martial artists are almost universally reviled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on opportunity and luck, and after experiencing countless hardships, Jiang Ye had only succeeded in building his Dao foundation and becoming a Martial Arts Master after a life-and-death struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to advance further, he needed to incorporate a mid-tier implant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low-tier implants can be plundered from Dao Foundation or Qi Transformation stage martial artists, but mid-tier implants are only incorporated by those who are also Martial Arts Masters, making the difficulty of plundering them too great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for incorporating an implant himself and cultivating slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for a lack of aptitude and insufficient resources, who would be willing to become a demonic martial artist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye knew very well that with his aptitude, if he did not walk the demonic path, it would be difficult even to become a Dao Foundation stage martial artist, let alone a Martial Arts Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the path of self-cultivation was not viable for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is also for this reason that throughout history, the upper limit of the vast majority of demonic martial artists has stopped at being a single-ability Martial Arts Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in history, there have been some demonic titans who found another way—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating implants inside exotic beasts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people have weak physiques and can only incorporate low-tier implants at the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they become martial artists and already have an implant in their bodies, if they incorporate a mid-tier implant, the difference in grade will cause the implants to conflict, making further cultivation impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But exotic beasts do not have this problem; even a low-tier exotic beast can theoretically withstand a mid-tier implant directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By using special methods to cultivate the mid-tier implants one needs inside certain exotic beasts, one can simply plunder them using demonic martial arts once the implants mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the \"Path to Heaven\" devised by the \"sages\" of the demonic path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the \"Three Evil Demons,\" besides the \"Ancestor of the Underworld River\" who is a True One realm sorcerer, the other two evil demons were both demonic martial artists who reached the Martial Saint realm using this \"Path to Heaven\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method does not even require making enemies or killing people, and it seems perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the only problem is—exotic beasts are precious resources everywhere; why would a demonic martial artist have such resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the \"righteous factions\" that control most of the cultivation resources, no one would voluntarily walk the demonic path unless absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the risks of demonic cultivation are too great; every breakthrough is a life-and-death gamble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same batch of resources, if used on a group of talented people, there might be a chance to cultivate a dozen Qi Transformation stage martial artists, and perhaps even a Dao Foundation stage martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if used to cultivate a demonic martial artist, one might end up losing everything and gaining nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, major factions basically do not actively cultivate demonic martial artists; the cost-effectiveness is simply too low!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, if it is accidentally exposed, one's own reputation is ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing in this world is absolute; there are always exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a certain \"second generation\" of a major faction might have poor aptitude but still insist on gambling their life to become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the only way out for this \"second generation\" is to walk the demonic path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a case, this major faction might secretly cultivate exotic beasts specifically for demonic martial artists to plunder, known as \"Demon-Feeding Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because demonic martial artists have a high failure rate when plundering and integrating implants, multiple \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" need to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if, during this process, the \"second generation\" of this major faction suddenly fails a breakthrough and dies suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what should be done with the remaining \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" that haven't been used yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mid-tier implants cultivated inside them are only useful to demonic martial artists; it would be too wasteful to just kill them and discard them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, over time, a trade in \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" gradually emerged in the martial arts world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those major factions that secretly cultivated \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" but suddenly found no use for them would choose to sell the \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" to demonic martial artists in need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had come specifically for a \"Demon-Feeding Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not content to remain at his current realm forever, so he had been inquiring about whether there were any \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a Martial Arts Master, it was actually quite simple for him to get money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long since saved enough money to buy a \"Demon-Feeding Beast,\" but he lacked the channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than two months ago, after several twists and turns, he heard that someone in Feng Province was selling a \"Demon-Feeding Beast,\" and the mid-tier implant cultivated inside it was exactly what he could use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he contacted the middleman and eventually came to the Feng Province provincial capital to trade with Zhao Qidong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a demonic martial artist, Jiang Ye was sufficiently cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming, he had already investigated that Zhao Qidong's true backer was the Lu family, which was the reason he did not simply resort to foul play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was a \"dragon crossing the river,\" he could not yet swallow the Lu family, the \"local snake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't talk nonsense. If you really have what I want, then name your price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lang nodded: \"We naturally have the item. Since you know that Zhao Qidong is backed by us, you should believe we have the strength. As for the price of this item, we need Brother Jiang to help us do something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was not surprised to hear this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factions capable of cultivating \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" generally do not lack money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, many transactions involving \"Demon-Feeding Beasts\" often require the demonic martial artist involved to help do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help deal with someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Divine Detective He Jian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want me to kill a pavilion official?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's expression changed, becoming fierce, and the murderous intent in his eyes was almost tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jian had once solved several major cases involving demonic martial artists, so Jiang Ye had specifically paid attention to this famous divine detective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also knew that the other party had just been promoted not long ago and was now Pavilion Elder He!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a demonic martial artist does not mean one is truly lawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, the newly promoted \"Evil Demon\" Qiming was executed, and the imperial court's deterrent power against demonic heretics like Jiang Ye had just reached a new peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, let alone him, Jiang Ye, even the other three \"Evil Demons\" would likely not dare to kill a pavilion official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang has misunderstood; I am not asking you to kill anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lang shook his head, \"I know Brother Jiang's ability is mysterious, so I want you to act in secret and just make He Jian fall ill. He doesn't need to die; he just needs to be bedridden for a few months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye's eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nickname was \"Black Evil God\" because his ability was called—[Evil God].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can cause intense corrosion to a target both physically and mentally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the most terrifying point of the [Evil God] ability is not its frontal assault, but its sneak attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye can use [Evil God] to make people fall victim without them knowing, and in a way that makes it impossible for them to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it is an ability, martial arts are ineffective, supernatural abilities are ineffective, and medicine is ineffective!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Martial Arts Masters who lack defensive or life-type abilities, after being struck by [Evil God], would need to pay a great price to completely purge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, those who had offended Jiang Ye would one by one fall mysteriously ill and eventually die miserable deaths; only afterwards would people realize that Jiang Ye had acted in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the fearsome reputation of the \"Black Fiend God\" made many people turn pale at the mere mention of his name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Miao Lang had asked him to deal with a Dao Foundation realm martial artist, he asked himself, it would be effortless and could be done with a flick of the wrist, without letting the other party notice anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was not murder, just making He Jian fall ill for a few months; this outcome was also acceptable and would not provoke a violent reaction from the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Ye still had concerns in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of one person—Li Fei!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Jian is currently investigating a case for that Marquis of Jing'an, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye stared at Miao Lang and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lang smiled: \"Your sources are quite well-informed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news that the Marquis of Jing'an was going to deal with the Lu family had long since ceased to be a secret in the pugilistic world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you accomplish this task, we can provide four of the 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Lang knew Jiang Ye's concerns and directly increased the stakes, adding one more 'Demon-Feeding Beast' to the original offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic path martial artists were all people who lived with their heads on the line, fighting for their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the profit was large enough, they would even dare to pluck the beard of the King of Hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six 'Demon-Feeding Beasts', and I get to specify the type of implant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his situation, he estimated that he only needed two of the same 'Demon-Feeding Beasts' to successfully incorporate one type of implant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if this deal went through, he could successfully incorporate three types of implants at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of implants needed for the martial path was not as high as for the sorcery path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some divine abilities could be refined with just three to four mid-tier implants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had already successfully incorporated one mid-tier implant previously;
