Chapter 611: Ambush

"It is this person." Kong Que nodded with a strange expression.

The government's efficiency was so high that it took her a long time to react.

"Then that's correct." The leading constable breathed a sigh of relief.

If they had tossed and turned all day only to arrest the wrong person, that would have been a huge joke.

But even if they had arrested the wrong person, the one they caught now wasn't a good person either.

According to the evidence currently held, the person caught was a repeat offender with numerous evil deeds, and everyone participating in this operation could be credited with a major merit.

"According to regulations, Miss Kong Que still needs to make an identification record. Can you come with us to the government office?"

Kong Que nodded; this was her obligation under the law.

"Can they go with me?" Kong Que pointed to the three of Lu Yang and her sister Fuling; she was a bit panicked going to the government office alone.

"Naturally, they can, but they cannot watch while the record is being made." The leading constable could understand Kong Que's worry; it was human nature.

The Imperial Court was very professional in this regard.

But who wanted to kill her?

Big Brother Li: "..."

"Which one is Miss Fuling?"

As for whether higher-level cultivators had been sent in secret, Big Brother Li didn't know.

"Which one is Miss Fuling? Eh, Big Brother Li, you guys are here too? Didn't you go to catch people?" The two constables who came later saw the leading constable and were stunned for a moment.

Big Brother Li was the leading constable, and he said casually: "Isn't this because after catching the people, we need to find the victim to verify? Little Wu, what are you guys doing here?"

Shi Chan nodded, indicating understanding.

"I, I am Fuling." Fuling sat up from the bed and stood together with her sister Kong Que.

Little Wu: "..."

"Then will the two ladies come with us?"

The five of them, just like last night, came to the government office again.

Has the assassin taken a fancy to you two sisters, circling around you two?

The sisters nodded.

"Although letting the assassin sneak into the inn last night was our poor governance, don't worry, Miss, since we know the clues, we definitely won't let a second assassination event happen again."

The government runners responsible for guarding the door were surprised; they were responsible for the night shift, and they actually saw this group of people for two consecutive nights.

"Miss Kong Que, you are also lucky. Last night you encountered a Qi Refining stage assassin. According to the confession of the caught assassin, above him there are Foundation Establishment stage assassins, Golden Core stage assassins, and Nascent Soul stage assassins. If his mission failed, stronger assassins would come to kill you later."

"I would like to ask, what is the background of the benefactor who threatened Miss Kong Que?"

"Sorry, little Master, we have regulations, personnel outside the case cannot inquire about the case."

"Oh, we just finished interrogating the criminal suspect. According to the criminal suspect's confession, she tried to hire a local ruffian named Hong to assassinate a girl named Fuling, so we came to verify."

If it weren't for the assassin last night confessing everything, the government wouldn't have dispatched three Spirit Transformation stage and fifteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

While they were talking, two more constables walked upstairs.

The Five Great Immortal Sects indeed had law enforcement power, but they couldn't use it at will based on personal curiosity, which would violate the original intention of establishing law enforcement power.

When the three acted as witnesses to make records last night, they confessed their identities as ordinary cultivators and used fake names, not saying they were people from the Immortal Sects, so the government wouldn't investigate the witnesses' identity information in detail.

According to Shi Chan's experience, if he said he was a cultivator from the Five Great Immortal Sects, it would inevitably alarm the City Lord. The City Lord would enthusiastically entertain you, and then ask you when you were leaving in his words...

After all, the Immortal Sects also had supervisory power. If the Immortal Sects were to submit a report, then the year's work would be in vain.

The sisters were taken away by two groups of constables to make records, and the three remained in the case-handling area, waiting for the results.

"Fairy, can you help listen to the interrogation situation?" Lu Yang couldn't help but say.

At this time, the Immortal Fairy was painting on the wall of the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, holding a brush, with a pile of buckets full of paint at her feet, and her face was smeared with colorful paint.

As for what she was painting, it was too abstract, Lu Yang couldn't tell for the time being.

"Done." The Immortal Fairy threw the brush into the bucket, wiped her face with the back of her hand, making her face even more flowery, shared her Immortal Sense with Lu Yang, and probed the interrogation process of the arrested man.

The interrogation room had a special array to isolate spiritual sense probing, but clearly, it couldn't isolate Immortal Sense.

In the interrogation room shrouded in layers of arrays, two experienced constables were staring solemnly at the man who had just been caught.

The man had a handsome appearance and an evil aura, his hands were locked by Spirit-Restraining Locks, and his spiritual power could not be used.

The two experienced constables were under great pressure. The other party was suspected of having a mental illness, and his way of thinking was different from ordinary people. It was uncertain whether he was pretending or really ill.

"Name?"

The handsome man smiled nonchalantly, habitually fiddling with his nails, but unfortunately, he was locked by the Spirit-Restraining Locks and couldn't fiddle.

"Heh, it's the first time someone has dared to ask this seat's name so directly. It doesn't matter if I tell you. This seat's name is Night Owl."

"Age?"

"One thousand six hundred years old."

The constable slapped the table angrily, pointed at the other party and shouted: "I advise you to confess honestly, don't play the fool with me!"

Night Owl's eyes were gloomy: "If I were you, I wouldn't raise my hand. You're just two low-level cultivators, and you dare to point fingers at this seat? Call a Body Integration stage cultivator who is qualified to talk to this seat."

The other experienced constable seemed to have thought of something, pulled his companion, and asked suspiciously: "Are you an ancient Body Integration stage cultivator who scattered his cultivation and recultivated?"

"Still have some insight."

The two constables suddenly realized, then it was no wonder.

"Specific identity?"

"You don't even know this seat's identity, and you dare to arrest this seat? You have quite some guts!"

"This seat is the Pavilion Master of the Black Night Pavilion, Night Owl. Even the Emperor of the Great Yu would have to treat this seat with courtesy when seeing me!"

The two constables recalled ancient knowledge. It seemed there was such an organization in ancient times. It was an assassin organization, established in the 60,000th year of the Great Yu calendar, 140,000 years ago.

"Then why did you continue to build an assassin organization after scattering your cultivation and recultivating?"

According to the arrest situation, this person named Night Owl had built a new assassin organization and was domineering.

"You're just two insects, and you dare to inquire about this seat's plan. It doesn't matter if I tell you."

"In the struggle of the great world, human power is limited. Fighting for resources alone can't compete with great powers, so this seat rebuilt the Black Night Pavilion."

"Do you know what type of cultivator is the strongest? It's not the sword cultivator who breaks ten thousand laws with one sword, it's not the body cultivator with unparalleled physique. That's just frontal combat. Between cultivators, they use every means possible, and assassination is the best way to fight, so assassins are the strongest cultivators."

As he spoke, Night Owl stood up slowly: "The Black Night Pavilion returns to the human world, you are all sacrifices!"

"As for that woman who made this seat interested, her name is Kong Que, right? She can't escape this seat's palm!"

"This seat has said, she will either submit to this seat or die."

"People who defy this seat have never been born!"

The constable slapped the table angrily: "Be honest, sit down for me!"

Night Owl seemed not to have heard, and said to himself: "This seat scattered his cultivation and recultivated, naturally there are people protecting this seat's path."

The two constables' expressions changed, realizing something.

There were still accomplices they hadn't caught, and their cultivation wasn't low!

A terrifying pressure shrouded the City Lord's Mansion; it was actually a Body Integration stage cultivator!

In the night, that Body Integration stage cultivator stretched out a big hand, crushed the layers of arrays in the interrogation room, lifted the roof, and said respectfully: "Pavilion Master, I am late."

"Too slow, go back and receive punishment!"

The Deputy Pavilion Master was raised by Night Owl from childhood and had the master-servant mark branded on him. Even if he scattered his cultivation and recultivated, and the two had a huge difference in cultivation, the Deputy Pavilion Master had to obey Night Owl's orders.

Suddenly, three more Body Integration stage auras soared into the sky, locking onto the Deputy Pavilion Master. Each of these three auras was more powerful than the Deputy Pavilion Master!

"The Provincial Governor has foresight, there really were people behind."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and catch the person, go back and rest."

"It's a big fish."

The Deputy Pavilion Master's eyes were about to split: "Imperial Court's running dogs!"

Fell into a trap, the Imperial Court had an ambush!

The Deputy Pavilion Master turned to run, but how would the three Body Integration stage cultivators give him this opportunity? They attacked simultaneously and captured the Deputy Pavilion Master.

The two constables breathed a sigh of relief and pressed Night Owl onto the chair: "Be honest for me!"

"I'll confess everything." ===== CHAPTER 612 =====
