I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

Toyokawa was helpless; the clues had gone cold again, and he still couldn't catch the mastermind.

My anger is overflowing, I have nowhere to vent it, but I'm completely helpless.

In the end, all that could be left was a regretful sigh.

"Sigh, let's deal with those masterminds first! As for the ones who escaped, we can investigate them more thoroughly later! I refuse to believe we can't find them in three years!"

Toyokawa then immediately returned to the government office.

At this moment, everyone inside the government office was still unable to move due to the suppression of the great formation.

Toyokawa walked into the government office and stood before the group of criminals.

"Jia Renyi, He Youde, Hao Canren, do you know your crimes?"

Toyokawa's calm voice was laced with extreme anger.

"Who are you? What right do you have to suppress us? Release us now!"

Hao Canren asked angrily.

"Haha, who am I? Just ask the governor and you'll find out!"

Toyokawa did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Governor Li Jinwen, who was also lying on the ground.

"Oh, it's Inspector Feng! Lord Feng, you've come at the perfect time! Quickly release me. I have important business to discuss with you!"

Li Jinwen quickly said.

"Oh? What brings you here, Governor?"

Toyokawa asked, feigning ignorance, "I already know the answer."

"Haha, Lord Feng, please release me first. I am also here to investigate a case. I beg you, Lord Feng, to see the truth!"

Li Jinwen said again.

"Oh? Your Excellency the Governor is also here to investigate a case?"

Toyokawa asked, but still put some pressure on the governor.

Li Jinwen suddenly felt a sense of relief and then stood up.

The others remained suppressed on the ground.

Li Jinwen, as if he hadn't seen anything, scurried over to Feng Chuan's side and said with a smile.

"Haha, to be honest, Lord Feng, although I have never been able to find any clues about the cases of missing civilians in various prefectures, I have never thought of giving up."

Well, recently there has finally been some progress and a major discovery.

It turns out that not all the common people in the various prefectures were harmed by evil spirits.

The vast majority of them were captured by the three of them, along with a heretical cultivator.

Moreover, they used these commoners to refine some kind of evil pills; they were utterly worse than animals!

Upon hearing this news, I was furious and immediately decided to personally lead a team to exterminate the evil spirits.

I will absolutely not allow them to so recklessly harm the people of Quzhou.

Therefore, I immediately dispatched men, who rushed over and captured them all in one fell swoop.

However, a group of the main culprits still managed to escape, which is a dereliction of duty on my part!

But when I descended into that underground prison, what I saw enraged me beyond measure.

The scene below was so horrific that it was no exaggeration to say it was absolutely horrific!

Even I, an official, couldn't help but shed tears upon seeing them; they are simply a bunch of beasts! No, they are worse than beasts!

Governor Li Jinwen spoke while trying to wipe away his tears.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like she's crying.

"Oh? Since Your Excellency has made progress in the case, and this case involves evil spirits causing trouble, why doesn't Your Excellency send someone to inform the Inspection Division?"

Toyokawa asked.

"Oh dear, this was indeed my oversight! I was just trying to save lives, so I beg the Inspector to forgive me!"

"Alas, I am too late! I have failed those countless civilians who perished! I have failed them all!"

Li Jinwen said regretfully, with an air of sorrow that would break the hearts of anyone who saw or heard of him.

"Hahaha... Li Jinwen, you, a governor of a state, are so shameless."

We may be guilty, but don't pretend to be a good person! It's fucking disgusting!

You knew about our plan from the very beginning, but you turned a blind eye and deliberately condoned it!

What are you up to? Do you really think everyone else is stupid?

You just want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, and use us as stepping stones to advance your career!

Haha, unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. You didn't expect this, did you?

After half a year of hard work and planning, it all came to nothing, and I didn't even get a hair out of the bag!

Hahaha... You deserve to get nothing!

"This is what Jia Renyi, the prefect of Quzhou, said with a hearty laugh."

"Hmph, stop spouting nonsense! You mad dog, even on your deathbed you try to drag me down with you. You're utterly inhuman and deserve to die!"

"If I had known of your evil deeds earlier, I would have torn you to pieces!"

Li Jinwen vehemently refuted this.

"Hahaha, Li Jinwen, do you think you can wash away your crime of condoning with just your words?"

You think you can hide behind the scenes, pretending not to know anything, and ultimately reap all the benefits?

Keep dreaming! That's pure wishful thinking.

"Now, three of the six prefectures in Quzhou are involved. How clean can you, a mere governor, possibly be?"

He Youde said angrily.

"Stop making baseless accusations! This is slander! I will definitely report this to the imperial court and have you all executed by slow slicing!"

Li Jinwen scolded.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Jia Renyi, He Youde, and Hao Canren, since the three of you have all admitted to colluding with evil spirits, causing harm to ordinary people, and using human lives to refine evil pills...

With these multiple offenses combined, I hereby sentence you to death, to be carried out immediately!

After speaking, Fengchuan activated the great formation without waiting for the three to reply.

Instantly, the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Annihilation Formation was activated, and the power of the Four Symbols descended upon the three of them.

The fierce wind extinguished their souls, and the raging fire consumed their bodies.

Before they could even use the third layer of array power, the group vanished completely.

Then Toyokawa spoke to the governor.

"Your Excellency Governor, I will report the matter here to the court truthfully."

"I hope Your Excellency will take good care of yourself. This envoy takes his leave!"

With that, Toyokawa waved his hand, and the great formation instantly dissipated.

All the array materials and components flew towards him, including the array materials in the warehouse.

After collecting all the materials, Toyokawa vanished in a flash.

At this moment, the governor was still staring blankly at the spot where the three prefectural lords had been lying.

This method was terrifying; he's still sweating profusely.

He then dared not linger any longer and immediately led his group of warriors away.

After everyone had left, Toyokawa emerged from the shadows again.

He returned to the underground space.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he muttered to himself.

"Rest assured, everyone. Three of the ringleaders have been eliminated. As for the others, I promise you that I will find them all and wipe them out completely!"

Please rest assured, everyone! Leave the rest to me. I, Toyokawa, will certainly give you justice!

After Toyokawa finished speaking, the originally eerie underground space was immediately filled with the phantom images of wronged spirits.

After they all kowtowed to Toyokawa in gratitude, they disappeared.

However, the resentment and karmic obstacles left behind here cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.

If left unchecked, evil spirits may emerge over time.

Therefore, Toyokawa immediately communicated with the Five-Colored Sacred Lotus in his spiritual space.

The five-colored sacred lotus reacted immediately, splitting into two lotus flowers that manifested in the underground space.

As the red lotus of karmic fire appeared, the karmic obstacles in this place were immediately burned away.

As the Pure White Lotus appeared, the resentment in this place was immediately dissolved and cleared away.

After a while, when all karma and resentment had dissipated, Toyokawa was about to take back the two lotus flowers.

But at that very moment, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram in the divine consciousness space began to vibrate incessantly.

Sensing the anomaly in the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, Toyokawa immediately communicated with the diagram and manifested it externally.

As the Tai Chi Bagua diagram manifested, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Pure World White Lotus immediately flew to the two extreme points of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

As the Tai Chi diagram was activated, a black line and a gray line were generated.

The two threads ignored any obstacles and went directly to the source at the other end.

Toyokawa's expression immediately brightened. He hadn't expected that the Tai Chi Bagua diagram could be used in conjunction with the Five-Colored Sacred Lotus to achieve the effect of finding the cause and obtaining the effect.

Although this effect is currently quite rudimentary, its future potential is limitless.

Toyokawa did not leave immediately, but instead unleashed several points of spiritual fire, burning all the corpses to ashes.

Then, with a single palm strike, he broke all the pillars, and the underground space immediately began to shake and collapse.

Just before the collapse, Toyokawa vanished into the underground space.

Then, under the cover of night, he left Quzhou City.

He mounted his flying sword and immediately followed the direction in which the black line extended.

But as they flew, Toyokawa's expression became strange.

Because the direction the black line extended was a place he had visited once before.

Yes, that's the secret cave where many monsters are imprisoned.

Haha, this is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for everywhere without any effort.

That's good, I was going to have to come anyway. Now it's great, I don't even need to make a second trip, I can get it all done in one go.

Then, Toyokawa carefully approached the entrance of the secret cave.

This time, he quietly set up a complex array at the entrance of the secret cave. Then he waited there, ready to ambush his prey.
