Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

The atmosphere in the archives was tense.

The people in Chongwu Camp looked at each other, their hands holding the knives trembling slightly.

Zhen Mei looked at Zhuo Yichen, who had a cold expression on his face.

Pei Siheng, Ying Lei and Zhuo Yichen were enough to keep him and many people from Chongwu Camp here and never be able to leave.

Since Wen Xiao wasn't at the Demon Hunting Division, a conflict with them here would be detrimental to the next plan. Zhen Mei tightened his grip on the sword and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Ying Lei kicked Zhen Mei's back and gave Zhuo Yichen a thumbs-up: "Handsome! Master Zhuo."

Xiao Zhuo walked over to Nanzhi and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

Nanzhi shook her head and put down the bamboo slips in her arms: "I wonder if I can find any records about the restoration of the Jianmu sacred tree in them."

Pei Siheng couldn't stay outside for long and returned to the puppet.

The carriage carrying the prime minister was pulled into the Demon Hunting Bureau. Zhuo Yichen went to investigate the clues of the case. The remaining Nanzhi and Yinglei searched through all the bamboo slips but could not find any clues to repair the Jianmu sacred tree.

"What should I do?" Looking at the scroll collection library, Nanzhi's despair was about to overwhelm her.

Zhao Yuanzhou was arrested and Sister Wen Xiao was framed. After returning to Tiandu, bad things happened one after another, catching people off guard and unable to react in time.

"Let's go to Master Xiao Zhuo first to see if he has found any clues." Ying Lei stood up and extended his hand to Nan Zhi: "Don't worry, solve one problem first if you can."

"Yeah." Nanzhi nodded and stood up with Yinglei's help.

When the two arrived outside the Demon Hunting Bureau's hall, Zhuo Yichen was checking the carriage, and there was a corpse next to it.

It was already daybreak.

Nanzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a strong smell of blood hit her nose. Seeing the blood seeping into the wooden boards, she couldn't help but frown.

Ying Lei walked over to the corpse covered with a white cloth, lifted the cloth and took a look. He couldn't help but be shocked: "Oh my God, how did it get eaten like this?"

Nanzhi wanted to look, but Yinglei put down the white cloth in time and said to her, "Don't look at it, or you'll have nightmares."

"This isn't the Prime Minister's body," Zhuo Yichen explained to the two. "The Prime Minister's body was taken away by the Chongwu Camp. This is the body of a woodcutter found in the suburbs this morning. The murder method is very similar to the Prime Minister's. I suspect the murderer is the same person."

Yinglei felt strange. He went closer to the carriage and sniffed it, then went closer to the woodcutter's body and sniffed it.

Zhuo Yichen expressed his suspicions again: "I once saw another Bai Jiu in the illusion created by Li Lun in Huaijiang Valley. That person looks and builds exactly like Bai Jiu. If it weren't for the difference in their eye contact, he would have succeeded in getting us by now."

"Sulfur?" Ying Lei sniffed again, and after confirming it was sulfur, he said, "There's a smell of sulfur on the carriage, and there's also a smell of sulfur on the woodcutter's body. It's certain that the same person committed the crime."

"I heard there's a monster in the wilderness called Ao Yin. It lives near volcanoes year-round. It smells of sulfur, is able to change into a thousand different shapes, and loves to eat humans."

Ying Lei pointed at the woodcutter's body and said, "Look, it's been eaten like this, and it still smells like sulfur. It must be Ao Yin!"

"If it's Ao Yin, he once appeared in Li Lun's Demon Hunting Division illusion and is Li Lun's subordinate." Zhuo Yichen's eyes darkened, and his grip on the Cloud Light Sword tightened: "So, it was Li Lun who ordered him."

"It can't be Li Lun." Nanzhi was certain in her heart: "He has already thought about turning back, and he has also given us the Yaoshui. Why did he send Ao Yin to kill the Prime Minister and frame Sister Wen Xiao?"

"Perhaps he doesn't want us to repair the Bai Ze Order so quickly?" Ying Lei also felt strange. "That doesn't make sense. He's already out, and the Jianmu sacred tree is gone. Isn't it unnecessary for him to do this?"

Zhuo Yichen speculated: "Maybe it's because of Zhao Yuanzhou."

As Nanzhi looked over, he said, "Li Lun has always hoped that Zhao Yuanzhou would become the Zhao Yuanzhou who lost control of his anger and couldn't distinguish between good and evil. He used the crime of murdering the Prime Minister to entangle Wen Xiao. If Zhao Yuanzhou loses control of his anger again, his goal will be achieved."

"Li Lun and Zhao Yuanzhou are friends." Nanzhi didn't believe it.

"Because they're friends, he knows that Zhao Yuanzhou, filled with resentment, wants to die." Zhuo Yichen was horrified by his own suspicions, but he still told Nanzhi, "If Zhao Yuanzhou's resentment gets out of control, he'll be able to live forever."

Ying Lei propped up his chin with his hand. "If Master Xiao Zhuo is right, then the Goddess cannot repair the Bai Ze Order. Then the next person he needs to get rid of is Master Xiao Zhuo, the only one who can kill the great demon. And..."

Yinglei's tone sank, he looked at Nanzhi, and Zhuo Yichen also looked at Nanzhi.

"There is also Nanzhi who can make the big demon regain consciousness." When he said this, Yinglei felt a chill down his spine.

"Li Lun...has never hurt me." Nanzhi always felt that there was something wrong with this speculation.

Zhuo Yichen said coldly: "Not hurting you doesn't mean he won't trap you."

"Split into two groups." He immediately chose the most advantageous option in the current predicament: "Yinglei, you go investigate Ao Yin's whereabouts."

"Okay!" Ying Lei immediately became full of energy.

"As for Nanzhi," Zhuo Yichen looked at Nanzhi, "The Monster Hunting Division is too conspicuous and unsafe. I will send you to Lord Situ's house with Wen Xiao, and then I will go to Yinglei to investigate Ao Yin."

"As long as we find Ao Yin and prove Wen Xiao's innocence, regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is Li Lun or not, his plan will have been thwarted."

When you say action, you will act immediately.

When Nanzhi and Zhuo Yichen arrived at Situ Ming's residence, they happened to meet Bai Jiu who had returned.

Nanzhi, who didn't know Bai Jiu was a spy from the Chongwu Camp, hurried forward and asked him with concern: "Xiao Jiu? Were you injured on the way to Jixin Hall?"

"Sister Shen..." Bai Jiu didn't dare to look at Nanzhi.

He asked Situ Ming forcefully, "You said you would tell me about my mother when I come back. Do you mean what you said?"

Zhuo Yichen looked at Bai Jiu, then at Situ Ming, and understood the relationship between the two.

It had been a long time since he had spoken to his son so calmly. Situ Ming immediately said to Bai Jiu warmly, "Of course! Let's go inside and talk."

"I'll open the door." The door was opened and Zhu Yan's figure appeared at the door.

Next came out Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing.

When Bai Jiu saw Zhu Yan, he was stunned for a moment. When he saw Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao, he turned around and ran!

Recalling how he had approached the big monster step by step with a silver needle in the Chongwu camp prison, he knew that today was definitely going to be bad!

The escape route was blocked by Zhu Yan's tall figure that instantly appeared in front of him.

Bai Jiu took two steps back, his face full of fear and helplessness.

"Xiao Jiu... Zhao Yuanzhou?" Nanzhi asked Zhu Yan in confusion, "What's going on?"

Zhu Yan looked towards Nanzhi and explained with a warm expression, "The little white rabbit in our team didn't want to be a good little white rabbit, but chose to dye itself black."
