"You still haven't found it?" Arthis' voice sounded a little anxious, "You'd better look down."
Qin Ye took a moment to glance at it, and then furrowed his brows.
He didn't fly very high, only a hundred meters.
On the streets of the county, under the dim yellow street lights, more than ten cars were in hot pursuit!
One could see with the naked eye that countless places in the small county town lit up.
The county woke up in the dark night.
This was the power of the country.
Clear Creek County wasn't large, so Qin Ye was able to easily identify where the lights were coming from.
The County Public Security Bureau, the Public Security Unit, the Armed Forces, the Neighborhood Committee … Soon after, more than ten cars rushed in all directions like a tidal wave!
"Smart. His reaction is extraordinarily fast. He's checking all the people in the county who are not at home at the moment.
The first to bear the brunt are the funeral street and the ghost market. Kid … I'm afraid you won't be able to get through this time. "Arthis said gloatingly.
Qin Ye furrowed his brows - That's too fast … His reflexes are extraordinarily fast.
As for him … he instinctively left the direction of the funerary street. It was simply impossible for him to return!
Calm down … calm down …
He took a few deep breaths. Now that he was bound to be discovered, he had to at least get one of the clues. At worst, he could just leave.
"Sir." Right at this moment, a loud and clear voice rang in his ears. "Please wait."
Before he could finish his sentence, a black thread shot into the sky from the jeep below, curling toward his legs.
"A true Operative-class expert."
Arthis said solemnly, "Not bad. You're hiding your true strength behind the scenes. On the surface, Zhang Fengzi is the leader, but to think that there are still people who are more powerful than Zhang Fengzi."
It's on par with me … Qin Ye was starting to grow anxious. He swung his saber, and the silk thread clashed with a resounding clang.
He didn't even look at it. His left hand quickly flipped through the documents.
On the 27th of March, the registered underworldly craftsman, Huang Shenghao, took over the connection business in Nanfeng Province.
The reward was three hundred thousand yuan and the duration was one month.
Canceled April 27.
The employer was Nanfeng Province's steel tycoon, Liu Yun.
On the 5th of April, he registered as the King of Underworldly Craftsmen and accepted the business of summoning spirits in Xinping Province.
The reward was five hundred thousand.
It lasted for seven days.
Cancelled on 12 April.
The employer was the fruit king of Xinping Province, Zhu Yang.
On the 30th of April, the registered underworldly craftsman, Su Mu, went to Xi Chuan Province's Dragon's Head City for business.
The reward was 250,000 and the duration was seven days.
The 6th of June had already been cancelled …
No … no, none of them!
"Sir, we mean no harm.
The purpose of the Underworld is similar to ours, and we only wish to have a good chat with you.
Can I? "
"We know that when Emissaries of Hell traverse the mortal realm, they must borrow the bodies of the living.
We have already begun a county-wide investigation. Your identity will soon be revealed, and it will be a win-win situation.
I really didn't mean any harm. "
Then, Qin Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
"7 May. Registered underworldly craftsman Zhou Chao has accepted the Donghai Province corpse carrying business for an unknown period of time.
Not canceled, employer unknown. "
It was him!
Qin Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
With a burning gaze, he closed his phone and tossed it to the ground. Then, he dove in the opposite direction like an eagle.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see his Hell's Emissary uniform, but the shard of King Yanluo's Seal would reveal a different effect altogether.
In this state, he could fly for a short period of time, but he couldn't turn invisible.
To leave this place … it was impossible to do so in the state of King Yanluo's Seal.
"What are you going to do?"
Arthis' voice was filled with boundless temptation, "Perhaps … I can give you a little bit of advice."
"For instance … tear open the soul sphere. As long as I'm free, let alone Clear Creek County, the entire Westriver Province will be ours."
"I knew it …" Qin Ye tapped the tip of his toes on the roof of a building and rolled on the ground. However, he didn't take to the air again. Instead, he dispersed the Yin energy emanating from the shard of King Yanluo's Seal and darted through the streets in his Hell's Emissary state.
"I knew it. You've never given up on the opportunity to come out."
"Why bother?
We've sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao that I won't do anything to you. "
Qin Ye chuckled coldly, "I don't trust you."
The car stopped at the location where he had tossed the phone, but it quickly restarted.
At the same time, dozens of large trucks carrying soldiers had already cordoned off an area of a thousand meters in radius.
Arthis grew taciturn. Several seconds later, she responded placidly, "Are you sure you're ready to lay your cards on the table with the mortal realm?"
"Don't say that I didn't warn you. Without my strength, you're no different from a third wheel in the dark.
You're far too conspicuous. "
Qin Ye didn't respond. He no longer had the luxury of time to speak. Just five or six hundred meters behind him, Jasper finally tore open its condom.
It was an ancient statue of a Buddha.
It was very old, and it was even covered with black stains and cracks.
It was covered with talismans.
Ordinary.
Very ordinary.
But as soon as it appeared, alarm bells immediately went off in Qin Ye's mind!
"The mortal body of the City God."
Arthis continued unhurriedly, "As long as the City God is present, all evil will have nowhere to hide, even though this mortal statue is already in tatters.
Although this mortal body of the City God is already in tatters, it may not be able to detect the exact Yin energy that you possess.
Whoosh … As soon as she finished speaking, a tall, thin figure dressed in a long black robe leapt out of the jeep.
His hands quickly made a series of hand seals, and his robes fluttered wildly.
Then, as he did so, all of the yellow talismans on the mortal body of the City God suddenly began to flutter wildly in the air!
"Kid, I'll never go back on my word!
As long as you open the soul sphere, Westriver will be your territory! "
Qin Ye didn't seem to hear anything, and he continued to run forward.
Arthis drew a deep breath, "Don't you understand? Your identity is going to be exposed no matter what happens tonight. Without my strength, you're nothing more than a lab rat …"
"Is that so?"
Qin Ye finally stopped in his tracks and panted, "Do you still remember why I was so certain that Zhang Fengzi was the host of the phantom market?"
Arthis suppressed the burning sensation in her heart and responded calmly, "Of course. I've mentioned it before. They mistakenly believed that the Yin energy in Wang Chenghao's hospital was too strong, and that the ghost had yet to disperse.
They wanted to summon the spirit and find out who had killed it … "
She suddenly paused before she could even finish speaking.
The Clear Creek County People's Hospital was right in front of them!
Qin Ye gasped for breath, "You mentioned earlier that the mortal body of the City God is already in tatters, and that it's impossible to detect the exact amount of Yin energy within it.
But … what if I were to hide under other sources of Yin energy? "
"For instance … That Amorous Affair who once wielded the shard of King Yanluo's Seal?
That Yin energy should be even denser than what I have right now … "
Arthis grew taciturn for several seconds.
Within these few seconds, Qin Ye had already rushed through the main door and straight into Wang Chenghao's ward.
Within these few seconds, all of the talismans on the City God's statue flew off in unison. Then, a split second later, the stone statue of the City God slowly opened its eyes!
Whoosh … A ring of soundless, formless ripples of darkness that only cultivators could see spread out from the City God's statue like a tide.
"Wonderful." Meanwhile.
Qin Ye was shrouded in his Hell's Emissary robes as he leapt into the ward through the window. Arthis muttered softly, "Even a salted fish has its own intelligence …"
Wang Chenghao was watching TV when he saw the window suddenly open and the curtains rise in a strange way.
Then, he heard a voice ringing in his ears.
What did it say to him?
He was shocked at first, and then he calmed down. Several seconds later, he lowered his head in silence.
Meanwhile.
The ripples of darkness emanating from the City God's statue grew faster and wider.
Ten minutes later, the entire Clear Creek County was enveloped by a faint hum!
The supernatural perimeter was fully activated!
Meanwhile, in one of the military bases in Lotus City, a soldier on the night shift was looking at his phone when the sound of a bell suddenly reverberated throughout the room.
Dong … It was loud and clear.
It was a strange room. Everything in the room had an ancient charm to it. There was only a table and a single person in the room.
In the middle of the room, there was a ten-meter tall seismograph.
It was cast from bronze and had a bulging lid. It was shaped like a wine cup, and was engraved with images of tortoises, birds, and beasts.
There were eight dragons on the outside, each holding a copper ball in its mouth, while a toad opened its mouth to receive the bell.
The sound of the bell was coming from within.
The soldier froze for two seconds, and then immediately set down his phone and began typing furiously in front of the computer on the table. Several seconds later, he drew a deep breath, "The supernatural perimeter in Clear Creek County has been fully activated?"
"How could this be … This is the first time that a county-level district has been completely cordoned off.
What the hell is going on? "
After several seconds of shock, he abruptly walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, at the city police station in Clear Creek City, a man with a square face and thick eyebrows picked up the phone that was ringing nonstop by his bedside, "Hello?"
His wife rubbed her eyes and woke up, only to be greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man gently caressing her hair. She asked silently, "Old Lin, what's the matter?"
The man gestured with his eyes, "Don't worry."
Then, he turned back to the phone, "Mm … I got it … What?
The supernatural perimeter in Clear Creek City has been fully activated?
Alright … I'll head over to the Special Investigations Department right away … "
He grabbed his clothes and immediately left his warm bed.
Clear Creek County.
In a car not too far away from the county hospital, and in an SUV that was speeding towards the county hospital, a black-robed figure and Zhang Fengzi stared intently at the screen in their hands.
Their eyes were glued to the screen.
One by one, black dots appeared on the screen.
And the more they looked, the more their brows furrowed.
There's nothing …
It's not …
Where is he?
The largest black dot on the screen was none other than Wang Chenghao's location.
The other black dots weren't even close to matching Wang Chenghao's strength.
Zhang Fengzi stared at the screen for some time, before exclaiming in disbelief, "He's gone?"
"How … how is this possible …"
Suddenly, he remembered something and said to the driver, "Go to the county hospital immediately!
Quick! "
"Zhang Fengzi …" Before he could even finish speaking, a voice suddenly called out from the backseat, "Are you saying that he's going to play the game of sneak attack?"
"That's possible …"
"I don't think so.
This is just an expression of your unwillingness.
That's an official Emissary of Hell we're talking about … and there aren't even a handful of Emissaries of Hell in the records of our sect. Tell me … why would he want to leave? "
Zhang Fengzi shook his head.
"Has it never occurred to you that he's not an Emissary of Hell?"
The voice responded placidly, "You've let your emotions get the better of you … If he's run away, he's run away. There's nothing to argue about. Besides, just because he's wearing the uniform of an Emissary of Hell doesn't mean that he's an Emissary of Hell.
It's unwise to make an unnecessary move because of your unwillingness. "
Zhang Fengzi closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh.
Seconds later, he opened his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Yes … I can't accept this."
"I won't feel at ease if I don't finish checking the last point!"
Qingxi County People's Hospital.
Wang Chenghao was munching on a bag of chips when the door suddenly opened.
"You …" He was just about to speak when Zhang Fengzi beat him to it and stared at the man seated at the head of Wang Chenghao's bed in astonishment, "You … what are you doing here?!"
