Detached Soul Observes People

Evening.

After Lu Jun finished dealing with Jiang Kuo's corpse, he returned to the Demon Slaying Division's yamen.

The few demon slayers invited by Jia Kuiren, after witnessing Lu Jun's strength and methods, did not choose to leave.

Instead, under Jia Kuiren's arrangements, they stayed in the side rooms.

Lu Jun returned to his room, his eyes closed, legs crossed.

Soon, a wisp of soul energy, invisible to ordinary people, drifted from above his head. This soul energy quickly condensed into a human form, then began to change into Lu Jun's likeness, silently hovering above Lu Jun's main body.

[Detached Soul: Your soul can leave your body and enter others' dreams.]

This was a Spiritual Power evolved from a talent Lu Jun had mastered after killing a Flying Head Zombie during the Demon Slaying Division's assessment.

Lu Jun moved slightly in the void for a moment, feeling as light as the wind, moving freely through the air.

"It's quite useful," Lu Jun muttered.

"Let me see what you three are really up to..."

Soon, Lu Jun controlled his soul body and left the room.

The room's door offered no obstruction to Lu Jun, allowing him to pass through it.

Lu Jun first went to the room of Chen Zhuo, one of the three.

Coincidentally, when Lu Jun arrived at his room, Tuoba Li was also in the room.

Chen Zhuo was currently lying on his back on the couch, his already bloated belly appearing even larger, making his originally delicate face look a bit greasy.

The rugged-faced Tuoba Li paced back and forth in the room.

"At this point, why aren't you in a hurry!" Tuoba Li said to Chen Zhuo.

"Sigh, what's there to be in a hurry about..." Chen Zhuo replied lazily.

Tuoba Li asked, "Aren't you afraid that the guy named Lu will see through our identities?"

Chen Zhuo said, "Do you think a Bronze Robe like him can compare to Lady Si Snake?"

"The illusion technique on us was set up by Lady Si Snake. We don't have a trace of demonic energy on us. Even if the Demon Slaying Division uses a demon-revealing mirror, they won't find any connection between us and demons or monsters."

"He's just a Bronze Robe, at most he's in the Realm of Heavenly Cycle."

Tuoba Li pondered for a moment, then sat down lightly. His eyes darted around as he spoke, "Then tell me, what's the deal with him killing the attendant of Lord Wei Yang without distinguishing right from wrong today?"

Chen Zhuo pouted, "You're really reckless."

"You didn't gather any information before coming."

"Before I came, I heard that this brat named Lu is very fierce. He killed Zhang San as soon as he arrived, and he did it under the public's eyes, slicing him into a thousand pieces."

"Also, I heard that the kid has a Golden Holder Token bestowed by some Golden Robe."

"What does that prove?" Tuoba Li asked, confused.

Chen Zhuo chuckled, "I can reasonably deduce that this kid is probably the son of some powerful family. He committed some major crime in Yunzhou, and in the end, his family protected him. Capital punishment was avoided, but he couldn't escape punishment, so he was sent to this remote place as a punishment."

"But his elders in the family were worried that he would be bullied in this remote area, so they asked some Golden Robe to get him a Golden Holder Token."

"And that Li Tuo was very likely his attendant. Didn't you see how he did things without any scruples, and Li Tuo didn't dare to retort at all? It's clearly a master and a subordinate."

"As for killing Jiang Kuo, it was simply because he didn't like him and killed him on the spot. This kind of young master does things based purely on his whims."

Tuoba Li pondered for a moment and found it inexplicably reasonable.

That's right!

Who would kill a colleague as soon as they arrived?

So killing an outsider wouldn't be strange!

Who would have a Golden Holder Token when they are only a Bronze Robe?

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

This clearly shows that Lu Jun has a powerful backer!

This isn't strange anymore.

Everything made sense.

"Also, Lu Jun can be said to be accustomed to being arrogant. If he had really seen through anything, he would have killed the two of us this morning, leaving only the one named Fang Huai."

"But he didn't kill us, and he acted arrogantly towards Fang Huai."

"Isn't this clearly acting on impulse?"

Chen Zhuo continued to analyze.

Tuoba Li said, "But Jiang Kuo had the cult leader's tattoo left by Lord Wei Yang on him. Do you think he might have discovered it..."

"This is a very easy point to expose, so we can only gamble. We'll gamble that a young master from a prominent family like him won't discover it," Chen Zhuo said. "After all... who undresses someone when they kill them?"

Then, Chen Zhuo retorted, "Do you undress people when you kill them?"

Tuoba Li shook his head, "I don't. Do you?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head, "Who kills someone and then strips them? That's just perverted."

Tuoba Li nodded, "Right? We cultists don't strip people after killing them. How could a normal person do something like that?"

Chen Zhuo said, "Exactly! Can someone who does that still be considered normal? Killing someone and then stripping them is like farting after taking off your pants – completely unnecessary!"

The two exchanged a look, their minds instantly clearing. They chuckled.

In the void, Lu Jun's soul body raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Alas, what a pity. Originally, my devotee—the Ugly Ox Lord—was quite fond of that Zhang San. I came here precisely to take Zhang San as a disciple for my devotee. But I didn't expect that Lu fellow to cut him down with a single strike," Tuoba Li sighed softly.

"Heh heh... Foolish. Out with the old, in with the new. Don't you have a new one right in front of you?" Chen Zhuo said with a smile.

"You mean Lu Jun?" Tuoba Li asked, "Will he agree?"

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Zhuo's eyes, "Disagree? If he doesn't agree, there's only death. The Demon General from Master Chen the Flood Dragon will be here the day after tomorrow. Does he have a choice?"

"Marshal Hai, grant me the Spiritual Power—Soul Devour. I can use the little ghost in my belly to see if this Lu Jun is a suitable candidate."

With that, Chen Zhuo gently patted his bulging belly.

Lu Jun heard every word they said.

Immediately after, he quietly went to the room of the last person, the youth named Fang Huai.

Fang Huai was also the only one whom Lu Jun couldn't see anything unusual about with See Through Myriad Illusions that day.

However, judging from the conversation between Chen Zhuo and Tuoba Li just now, this Fang Huai was very unlikely to be the culprit.

Lu Jun entered the room and was slightly taken aback.

Inside the room, the youth had a fair complexion. Dozens of candles were placed around him, and he knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing towards the wall.

"Save me!"

"Save me!"

"Please, please."

"Three divine lords, please save me!"

"This Demon Slaying Division is full of scoundrels, and there are demons and monsters all around!"

"If you don't save me, I won't survive!"

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and looked towards where Fang Huai was kowtowing.

On the wall, three Visualization Diagrams were prominently displayed.

Visualization Diagrams were worth a fortune and were rare finds in the outside world. Even Old Man Yun, a Golden Robe, only possessed one.

But before this youth, there were no fewer than three!
