I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 160 The Third Force (Part )!

"Sir Zhang, for such an important case, why don't we contact the Ministry of Justice for a joint trial?" Jin Chen, Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, said bitterly.

He is almost at retirement age, and this subordinate is really a worry to him. In the past, no matter how big the problem was, there was always someone from the Shen family to take the lead. But now, the eyes of the person from the Shen family have been gouged out, and he can only bite the bullet and do it himself.

"If the Ministry of Justice wants to hold a joint trial, it must prove that this is a major case." Zhang Rui cupped his hands and said, "We haven't made a judgment yet. It would be too hasty to notify the Ministry of Justice now."

"Isn't this a major case?" Jin Chen said quickly, "Several evil spirits possessing a warrior is simply unheard of."

The Dali Temple has a special sorcerer who is good at detecting evil spirits. As soon as the result came out, he knew it must be an unusual event!

Warriors are different from sorcerers. Warriors have powerful blood and essence, and the evil spirits cannot be hidden in their Dantian. They cannot refine the evil spirits into a Nascent Soul like sorcerers. Warriors who do so almost without exception have their internal organs eaten by the Nascent Soul they have bred.

A warrior being possessed is different from a sorcerer refining his Dantian. All warriors are at risk of being possessed because warriors cannot see or sense evil spirits with their naked eyes. Only when they are actively attacked by evil spirits will they be able to judge the location of the evil spirits based on their own consciousness. Even so, facing some evil spirits without entities, it is difficult for warriors to deal with them.

Therefore, warriors needed sorcerers to remove the evil spirits from their bodies regularly, which led to the conditions in the past where warriors were restricted by sorcerers.

But a warrior can only have one kind of evil spirit possessing him. Possession is not the same as refining the Dantian. Possession is equivalent to the evil spirit finding a good nest where it can absorb the essence for a long time. How can it allow other evil spirits to share it?
Pan Hai has practiced hard skills and his blood and energy are extremely powerful, making him the most popular with evil spirits. However, no matter how popular he is, it is impossible for four or five evil spirits to linger in his body.

"This anomaly must be an experiment by a certain cult organization. Pan Hai's case must be handled jointly by the Ministry of Justice." Jin Chen insisted.

Anyway, he just doesn't want to fight it alone. Just kidding, he got goosebumps when he saw Shen Yuan's end. He is a direct descendant of the Shen family. The underworld incident back then couldn't do anything to him. He still had the Nine Ministers Seal in his hand, but he was still treated like that. It shows how vicious the outlaws hidden in the capital are now.
Although his status in the Jin family was not low, it was definitely not as high as Shen Yuan's. Moreover, he was old and had not made much progress. At most in three years, he would retire and go home to be an idle elder. He did not want to get involved with such a vicious existence at this critical juncture.

"Not appropriate." Zhang Rui shook his head. "How about this? I will temporarily take charge of this case. If the matter is really serious, I will report it to you and have a joint trial with the Ministry of Justice. How about that?"

Jin Chen frowned when he heard that. He didn't understand why the other party was reluctant to agree to a joint trial with the Ministry of Justice. However, although the man in front of him held a low official position, he could not ignore his opinion. This guy surnamed Zhang was most likely a rising star that the hidden family wanted to promote. Apart from anything else, the fact that he could arrest Pan Hai alone proved his strength. It was better not to offend such a young man easily.

"Since Lord Zhang is so insistent, you will be in charge for the time being. Just let me know if you need any help."

Zhang Rui looked at the other officials when he heard this. His colleagues in the Dali Temple avoided his gaze. They were kidding. Who would dare to touch a major case at this critical moment? This is not the way to seek death.

"Thank you, sir. I will do my best. Please rest assured."

"That's good." Jin Chen nodded and quickly waved his hand to let Zhang Rui take the unfortunate guy to the prison. He planned to go home early and it would be best if he didn't come to work for the next few days because he was not feeling well.

After the other party left, Yun Yi moved the frozen Pan Hai into the prison under the Dali Temple.

"Sir, there are actually four or five kinds of evil spirits on Pan Hai?" Yun Yi asked curiously.

He also has common sense and obviously understands that this situation should not happen.

"To be precise, there are four or five kinds of evil auras, but in fact, the thing in Pan Hai's body now is probably already an evil aura."

"Hmm?" Yun Yi was stunned, but immediately understood what the other party meant: "The method of poisoning insects?"

Zhang Rui nodded. Yun Yi was from the Five Poison Sect, so he obviously understood what he said at the first moment. To refine Gu was to let multiple poisons devour each other in a jar, and the winner would become the most poisonous of the poisons. This was the most common method in the Gu insect world, and there were also Gu insects among evil spirits.

"Do you know of any family in southern Xinjiang that is good at refining evil Gu?"

"That's a bit much." Yun Yi frowned and said, "In the southern border, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are many sorcerer families who are good at refining Gu. However, they use special containers to refine evil spirits. I have never heard of using warriors' bodies."

"Pan Hai is now a special container." Zhang Rui looked at Pan Hai, whose body was covered in black, with a gloomy expression.

It wasn’t visible before, but now that it has been frozen for a long time, I can see some clues.

"Container?" Yun Yi looked back at Pan Hai in the ice and his heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had heard of it, but Pan Hai at this moment was indeed different.

His eyes were closed and his body was pitch black. In just a few hours, he had grown a lot of black hair. The smile on his face was also very strange, and that smile made people feel creepy.

"Pan Hai must have been drugged by someone, causing the Yin energy in his body to be extremely strong." "Yin energy?" Yun Yi asked curiously, "Warriors have Yin energy?"

Warriors have abundant blood and energy and are extremely masculine. Even if they are possessed by evil spirits, it is difficult for them to produce negative energy.

"This is also the reason why his body can be used to refine Gu." Zhang Rui said dimly: "A body rich in powerful blood and essence and filled with Yin energy is an ideal place for evil spirits to parasitize. I even suspect that the evil spirits in his body are not parasitic, but are being nurtured through his Dantian."

"How is that possible?" Yun Yi asked in surprise, "A warrior's Dantian can't harbor evil spirits, right?"

Countless noble families in history have experimented many times. It is impossible to breed evil spirits in the body of a warrior, and it is impossible to practice both magic and martial arts at the same time!
"Warriors are indeed not able to do that. But dead warriors might be able to do that." Zhang Rui looked at Pan Hai and said quietly.

"The dead warrior?"

"Yes, a dead warrior." Zhang Rui looked at Pan Hai's nails that had grown long in those few hours inside the ice and had a rough guess in his mind.

I see, it finally showed up, so you guys wanted to do this! —
"You are useless. You didn't even investigate the intelligence clearly, but you rashly fed the magic pill to Pan Hai. If the people in the Dali Temple find out something and ruin the master's plan, you will never be redeemed!"

No one had expected that there would be such a huge underground palace at the foot of the capital city, and inside the underground palace, there were at least tens of thousands of people gathered!

"I deserve to die!" One of the men in black robes knelt on the ground and begged for his crime, trembling with fear. Under the gazes of countless people, he was terrified to the extreme.

The man in black robe was a sorcerer. He knew very well what kind of people he was facing. These people were more terrifying than evil spirits.

"I didn't expect that Yun Yi, who came from a remote place like Southern Xinjiang, would have such skills and could force the divine pill to break its shell. I also didn't expect that Zhang's method was so sharp that he could actually capture Pan Hai alive!"

It was expected that even if Pan Hai lost control, Minister Qi would kill him to silence him and leave no trace at all if he was present.

He didn't expect that Zhang Rui would appear out of nowhere and be able to capture Pan Hai alive so easily and make Minister Qi stop. He had never expected this situation.

"Incompetent means incompetent!" A female voice sounded slowly, "Yun Yi joined the Zhang family before the competition. He knew that Pan Hai was Shangshu Qi's man, but he was unwilling to give up. You should know that he is a person who is confident in his skills. As for the Zhang, you should have been on guard. When he was in Yunzhou, he ruined the master's business. The ability he showed was praised by Empress Yin Feng."

"Some time ago, he stripped Qi Zheng of his Yin Goddess Nine Netherworld Girl with his bare hands. The whole capital knows about it. As a member of the Qi family, you didn't even notice it. Are you incompetent?"

The black-robed sorcerer looked up in panic. If Zhang Rui were here, he would definitely recognize him. Isn’t he the son of Minister Qi?
"Yes, Lord God's Messenger." The sorcerer kowtowed tremblingly: "It's my incompetence!"

The so-called God's Envoy would definitely scare Hong Lie and the others if they were here. It was Qin Wushuang!
"Princess Princess."

"Why are you so flustered?" Princess Yunyang looked at the sweaty Hong Lie with a funny expression, "You look worried and scared. What happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Hong Lie breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the princess who was unharmed.

"By the way, where's Wushuang?"

"What do you want to do with Wushuang?" the princess asked curiously.

"I have something to ask. Wasn't she with you just now?"

"Well, it seems like she left because of something. She gave up, so her competition has to be rescheduled. There is nothing to do today for now."

"Is that so?" Hong Lie touched his chin and said, "Princess, the Qin family has come to the capital. Have you contacted His Highness Li Yu?"

The princess was startled, then frowned: "Hong Lie, what happened?"

"Master Zhang suspects that there is something wrong with the Qin family!"
