After the immortal disappeared

This place is not far from the government office. As soon as I heard that the "big monster carrying a volute" had appeared, the officials rushed here at a record-breaking speed.

The leader stood on the edge of the board and took a look. His palms were sweating. He quickly turned around and gave the order:

"Let the magician arrange the forbidden escape technique, hurry up, hurry up!"

Isn't this the legendary snail toad that brought disaster to Chiyan? It actually appeared in Lingxu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As long as you catch it, you will be promoted to a higher position and become a leader!

They specially brought several magicians over, and upon hearing the order, they dispersed and went to bury weapons in the four corners of the warehouse.

I heard that this big monster is very good at escaping from the ground, so let’s abolish its signature skill and turn it into a turtle in a urn!

There are seven or eight versions of Snail Toad in Lingxu City, but unfortunately, none of them can cover all its skills, such as those unique to frogs and chameleons——

Long tongue curling cumshot!

The officer leader shouted a few words to his subordinates at the top of his lungs. He had just assigned the task when suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air from behind.

Before he could react, he was swept back.

Snail Toad thought he was too noisy, so he rolled him back with a flick of his tongue in full view of everyone, and was suffocated!

The distance between the two was a full two feet, and the toad's tongue broke two wooden boards when it popped out.

This speed breaks people's stereotype of snails being slow.

Seeing that this thing actually had long-range attack skills, the crowd around him screamed and fled in all directions.

The snail toad smacked its lips, as if after a while, then plunged into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

The magician's forbidden escape array wasn't even set up yet, and the prey escaped.

One person died in the line of duty.

After night falls, Nanxinzhuang is still brightly lit.

The demon-slaying murderer of Bai Shaqian actually appeared in Lingxu City. Such sensational news was spreading. The Nancheng Bureau immediately mobilized all its forces to interrogate every witness.

The children had long since disappeared without a trace, and Mrs. Liu, as the first discoverer, was questioned repeatedly.

"Sir, I've told you this several times!" She cooperated obediently at the beginning, then became dry and a little impatient, "I don't know when the monster came, but it just lay down when I saw it. In the warehouse. I accidentally touched the board, and when it turned around, it seemed to be holding something in its mouth! "

The official showed her the herb: "Is it this kind of herb? Are you sure?"

"It should be, right?" Mrs. Liu scratched her head, "I'm not a doctor, how can I identify them so carefully? Aren't they everywhere in the warehouse?"

"What kind of goods does this Baisong Warehouse usually carry?"

"I don't know. Cars usually come and go, but who cares about this?" Mrs. Liu was confused, "It didn't invite me to come in and guard the courtyard."

It made sense, so the officials took several of the guards back and interrogated them severely.

These guys were so frightened that they said they had never seen a snail toad before. When it rained heavily, they were all fast asleep in the house, not knowing that such a huge thing had entered the yard.

"What happened to the Prunella vulgaris in the warehouse? Where did it come from?"

"That's...the goods." They only load and unload the goods and guard the house. Can they also care about where the owner buys the goods?

Finally, the steward of Baisong Warehouse was also found.

He denied that the warehouse stored Prunella vulgaris, but the list found by the official in the warehouse clearly stated:

"Prunella vulgaris, 1,300 kilograms,... put into storage."

The date of storage and the source of the herbal medicine were wet with water, and the ink was smeared into a ball, making it unknown.

Involving the elixir case, the Nancheng Bureau did not dare to delay and reported it quickly.

Such a large and important case can be handled with considerable efficiency.

Soon, the owner behind the Baisong Warehouse was also found out. He turned out to be the surrendered general of Yuan Kingdom and the general of Xunzhou Mu Nian Zanli Nian!

…

Before dawn, Nian Mansion welcomed uninvited guests:

Ting Wei Huo Jian, Du Yunshi Bai Ziqi, and their heavily armed troops.

Nian Zanli has always had the habit of getting up early. Just after washing up, he received the news that two senior officials came to the door, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

Why are these two people?

Tingwei never does anything good when he comes forward, let alone Duyunshi.

Nian Zanli did not dare to neglect, and went out to greet him: "Shi Bai, Mr. Huo, what kind of wind brings you two here?"

Huo Jian asked him: "Does the Baisong Warehouse in Nanxinzhuang belong to you?"

"...I bought it at the beginning of the year." Nian Zanli's heart sank. Something happened to the house on Xiangmai Street just a few days ago. Officials had already come to see him once. He felt something was wrong at that time, but no one came to see him again. What is this now?

He asked cautiously: "What happened to Baisong Warehouse?"

"Sir Nian, please come with us." Bai Ziqi smiled, "We'll talk slowly on the way."

"Huh? This?"

The silent Tiangong guards immediately surrounded him.

There were few people in the early morning, but with such a large formation outside Nian Mansion, pedestrians still stopped one after another.

There are restaurants and inns in the blocks outside Nianfu, which are open all night long.

He Lingchuan was sitting by the window on the second floor, drinking wine and eating side dishes, and had a panoramic view of the scene happening below.

He came at night and wanted to get to an excellent viewing position, just to watch the excitement of the first crop.

Although the light was dim, with his eyesight he could still clearly see Nian Zanli being surrounded by the Tiangong Guards. The expression on his face changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to confusion.

Bai Ziqi still saved some face for him, found a carriage and invited him to take a seat.

Nian Zanli seemed a little excited, but Tingwei stepped forward and said a few words to him. Nian Zanli was like a deflated ball, turning around and boarding the carriage.

Then the carriage started slowly and headed northeast.

The guards surrounded it in the middle with great momentum.

He Lingchuan shook the cup and toasted it with a glass of wine: "General Nian, have a good trip."

He came here to send the New Year's greetings, and as he wished, he saw the carriage rolling, taking away all the ambitions of the New Year's greetings.

It will be sunrise in another hour, and he hopes to appreciate the New Year's Praise as soon as possible.

Maybe Nian Zanli won’t see the sunrise more than a few times for the rest of his life.

No matter the prison in the Heavenly Prison or the Heavenly Palace, it seems that they have never seen the light of day.

"The big trouble in Yuan Kingdom has been solved, congratulations." He held the soul-capturing mirror in his arms and said with a smile, "Can he still come out?"

"Probably not possible." He Lingchuan's mood also became lighter.

Once caught by the Heavenly Palace, Nian Zanli will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die. Want to attack Yuan Kingdom? Hehe, he should worry about his own life first.

"Since he wholeheartedly wants to recognize Bega as his master, then thunder, rain, and dew are God's blessings, and he has to accept them."

The soul-capturing mirror sighed: "If you deal with Nian Zanli, you will prevent a huge disaster for the Yuan Kingdom. It's a pity that the Yuan Kingdom knows nothing about this!"

Nian Zanli borrowed troops, but failed, and the Yuan Kingdom also escaped more than one military disaster.

For this weak country, it may be able to survive for a few more years.

"This trouble started and ended because of me. It's fair. Besides, I don't care whether Yuan Kingdom knows about it or not." He Lingchuan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, threw down a piece of silver, stood up and left.

Two of his four major tasks in Lingxu City have been completed on time.

Next, he will go all out for the Xushan Project!

…

Tourists who have been to Tiangong will hear the tour guide mention that there is also a prison on Tianshu Peak, and evildoers who offend the gods are imprisoned here, which is called Yang Palace.

It is located behind the Star-Zhaing Tower and is not accessible to idlers. It is actually a cave-like prison made by hollowing out the mountainside. There is only one passage in and out.

Of course, the Bega gods have a relatively broad definition of the word "offense". Common people usually say a few disrespectful words, but they turn a deaf ear. After all, Lingxu City advocates a free atmosphere. But if you take actual actions, you may be held accountable.

When Yang Palace was first established, it was said that all beings were equal in the eyes of the gods, so all prisoners were treated equally regardless of hierarchy.

But as time goes by, gaps still appear among the prisoners. After all, some crimes are more serious, some have more secrets, and some...actually have higher identities.

So after so many years, the prison in Yang Palace is actually divided into several levels.

The highest-level cell is located in the deepest part of Yang Palace. You can actually see the sky, but it is not by the transom window. After all, this world has all kinds of magical powers, and it is not uncommon to escape from an empty window as big as a palm.

This place is separated from the outside world by a large glass window, allowing daylight to easily filter in. The prisoner sitting behind the window can even see the magnificent mountain scenery behind Tianshu Peak.

Of course, this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary prisoners.

The person living in this cell now is Imperial Master Qingyang.

She is a top felon and enjoys a 30-square-meter cell with a view. Although this is the deepest part of Yang Palace and has the unique smell of water in the cave, the ground is not wet at all. The prison had been cleaned before she came in, and there was no trace of rats or fleas.

No matter what the reason is, Imperial Master Qingyang is treated differently even in prison.

After being sent here by Lingxiao Palace, Qingyang Imperial Master explained everything to Tiangong according to what she had discussed with the Demon Emperor.

She told the truth about how she hunted monsters, refined the elixir, and sold it through Qingfu Temple over the years.

There were only two things Tiangong wanted to know. One was the source of the divine blood, and she pushed it towards Dong Rui.

The second one is the customer who bought the elixir. Imperial Master Qingyang only said that the directory and account books had been destroyed in the fire of Qingfu Temple, and no one had any backup.

Otherwise she said nothing.

She was sent by the emperor himself, and Tiangong knew very well that there must have been full communication between the two. Imperial Master Qingyang said that the account books were gone, which meant they were gone and could not be retrieved.

Due to her special status and her weight with the emperor, Tiangong did not punish her.

No matter how turbulent it is outside, the inside of Yang Palace is always lifeless and isolated from the world.

In the afternoon, the attendants from the Heavenly Palace came to deliver meals.

He could only deliver it to the door, and the food box had to be collected and inspected by the jailer to make sure there was no private goods or notes before it was given to the prisoner.

"Prince Qingyang, it's time to eat."

After checking that everything was correct, the guard opened the small door and stuffed the food box inside.
