I am a living immortal.

From the depths of the abyss, a voice sighed, "It's still too little. Go find more!!!"

The dissatisfied voice echoed in the abyss, shaking the entire canyon.

The black wind swept across the spot and transformed into a human figure, with wings pressed against his back. He began to explain, "But, if we start a big fight, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble. Let's take it slow and steady so no one notices..."

Before the figure could finish his words, he was hit by a gust of wind and slammed hard against the cliff wall.

"Are you teaching me how to do things? Blood Princess?"

"I dare not~"

"Don't dare? Then why don't you go quickly? Do you want me to teach you how to do it again?"

"No, no need." The figure named Xue Ji trembled, and immediately turned into a black wind and disappeared on the spot.

…………

The capital of the Yan Dynasty was Shengjing.

In the main hall, there was a middle-aged man with an upright figure wearing a dragon robe. He was not that old, as his face looked a little younger than his age, but his temples were already gray.

At this moment, he threw the scroll in his hand onto the floor of the hall with a look of rage on his face. The scroll slowly spread out due to the vibration and reached the feet of the court officials.

"See for yourselves."

The courtier standing at the front slowly squatted down and picked up the scroll at his feet, and began to look at it carefully. In fact, when this information was handed over, they already knew the general content.

But when I saw the actual content, I couldn't help but frown slightly. No wonder His Majesty was so angry.

After reading it, he handed it to the person next to him and immediately said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down?"

"Sixteen villages plus the garrison, twenty-three thousand nine hundred people, just disappeared so quietly? No one was found alive, no body was found dead. This is ridiculous!!!"

"Tell me, how can we calm down..."

Everyone lowered their heads, remained silent, and waited for further instructions.

Sure enough, the person at the top waved his hand and said, "Investigate thoroughly, at any cost."

The words are concise, yet weighty.

“Yes!!!!” The court officials kowtowed in response.

After the court session, groups of people walked out of the hall, and each powerful official was followed by a group of people.

In the end, this task was given to Shen Yan, the Minister of Justice.

"What do you think?"

"Monster." Wei Ming uttered two words behind him.

"Come to think of it, over 20,000 people vanished without a trace. Only a demon could do that. It seems we'll need the help of the Demon Slayers and the Exorcists to investigate this matter thoroughly... Is anyone willing to go?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet.

The eyes watch the nose, the nose watches the heart, and no one dares to answer. This is not an easy job. Even with the accompaniment of the Demon Slayer, it can cost lives if one is not careful.

Everyone walked on the gold bricks in silence, and no one answered. The person who spoke was their superior. Even Wei Ming, who was originally the most enthusiastic, did not say a word. He had a pregnant wife at home, and he could not and would not take on such a job.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shen Yan could understand, but the emperor's order was as strong as heaven and he had to do it.

He randomly named a few people and asked them to supervise the work.

The faces of the people who were called out looked unhappy, but they couldn't refuse, so they could only accept their fate and leave to prepare.

Shen Yan still had to go to the Demon Slaying Division. The emperor's words of doing it at any cost were not nonsense. It meant that no one could refuse and had to cooperate with all his strength.

Despite the enormous power, Shen Yan really didn't want to take it, but this was closely related to the Ministry of Justice.

Wei Ming was about to take his leave when Shen Yan stopped him.

He is now a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Justice. To reach such a rank at such a young age is partly due to appreciation, but more importantly, it is due to his outstanding abilities.

Seeing Wei Ming's hesitation, Shen Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want you to accompany me. I know your family situation. What do you think about this..."

The two of them walked towards the Demon Slaying Division.

...............

After Su Mu returned to Qingxuan Temple, she lived a leisurely life and was very comfortable.

After returning to Yuannan, the correspondence with Wei Ming returned to normal again. Calculating the time, it was time to prepare the gifts and set off. This time, Wei Ming mentioned it three times that if Su Mu was absent again, he would come to Yuannan with a knife to invite her in person.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Su Mu didn't plan to be absent either.

Facing the rising sun before dawn, Su Mu reached high in the sky in just a few steps and looked at the scorching sun rising.

Su Mu pulled out strands of sunlight, turning them into golden threads, which were constantly woven in her hands.

Weaving from sunrise to sunset, moonrise and moonset.

The golden silk thread would change color over time, which was Su Mu's little thought. When the silk thread was woven, he raised his other hand.

"How about giving me a piece of beautiful jade?"

These words were spoken to Nanpingshan, and Nanpingshan responded to Su Mu in the same way.

A piece of raw stone flew from the forest to Su Mu's side.

It looked like an ordinary stone on the outside, but was completely different on the inside. Su Mu stretched out her finger and touched the surface of the stone. Layers of stone powder floated away, revealing the core inside.

It was a piece of crystal clear jade, translucent without any impurities, clean and comfortable. Su Mu took the best-looking part and polished it into a peace locket.

The original golden silk thread was tied to the peace locket.

Su Mu broke off a pine branch and made a treasure box, then placed the peace locket in her hand inside. In this way, the gift was almost ready.

He held the treasure box in his hand and put it away.

"Old goat!!!"

The old goat running in the woods came to Su Mu in a few leaps, followed by the black carp.

"Let's go. I'm going on another long trip. I'll take you guys to join in the fun."

Sitting on the old goat.

The old goat soared up in a few steps, and the black carp followed with its tail wagging. Su Mu looked back at the gate of Qingxuan Temple and waved his sleeves.

A gentle breeze blew.

Gently close the door of the Taoist temple.

...............

Shengjing.

On this day, Wei Ming was discussing with his colleagues from the Ministry of Justice.

He was immediately interrupted by a flurry of anxious footsteps. After hearing the reason, Wei Ming apologized but kept on rushing out. His colleagues also urged him, waving their hands: "Go quickly, go quickly."

Wei Ming has not slacked off in these years and has rarely indulged in alcohol and women. In addition, Su Mu often sends him some spiritual fruits, so running is not difficult for him.

The servant had already brought the horses.

Wei Ming jumped on his horse and headed for the outer city. Wei Ming was a fifth-rank official in Shengjing, which was not considered a high-ranking official, not even a title, so he was not qualified to live in the inner city.

The Wei Mansion is still some distance away from the Ministry of Justice's office.

We can only speed up.
