From the second floor of an uninhabited building, across the street, one can see Lu Zhuang's hiding place.

The scene on the second floor can be simply summarized as follows.

A locked room, four burly men in black, bound, an unconscious female investigator (crossed out)...

[Name: Zhao Jing]

[Age: 23]

[Root Bone: Neck Metal bone.]

[Realm: Nine Apertures of Divine Observation.]

[Destiny: Purple with a hint of black]

[Evaluation: Head constable of the northern Yamen, apprenticed under the Imperial Capital, she is fiercely opposed to evil, a woman of exceptional talent, ranking twenty-fifth among the hidden Hidden Dragons. However, due to her overly upright nature, she was demoted to the northern suburbs, where she remained frustrated and unfulfilled.]

[Recent Encounter: Repeated reports about the Demon Summoning Cult failed to attract the attention of superiors. After several days of investigation, Lu Zhuang, but the investigation has backfired, leaving the investigators trapped.]

"He's not just an ordinary constable."

Li Mo had made up his mind and was feeling a bit of a headache.

"Wouldn't this be considered kidnapping government officials?"

Murong Xiao ate watermelon, his mouth turning completely red with blood.

Huang Donglai said helplessly, "It's her fault for refusing to listen to our explanation."

"... We're dressed like this, and you're still poisoning us while you're fighting? Who's going to listen to that?!"

"This is what Brother Li taught me. Poison doesn't need to be colorless and odorless; rather, it needs to blend into the environment, making it impossible to defend against. That's why I created this Five Poisons Fist."

"..."

Li Mo felt that if it had been him, he probably wouldn't have listened to any explanation either.

Not just now, but not now either!

"We are pretending to be members of the Demonic Cult, not the real members."

Li Mo emphasized.

"Does Brother Li need to remind me of this?"

Huang Donglai, Xiao Qin, Murong Xiao nodded.

"Alright, wake her up and explain things clearly."

Splash--

Xiao Qin splashed a basin of water on him, giving him a bath on the spot.

Li Mo: "?"

Something seems off.

It's more like interrogating a criminal!

"Eek..."

Zhao Jing suddenly shuddered, sitting up in shock from her deathbed. Opening her eyes and seeing her surroundings and her current predicament, she almost fainted again from fright.

She gritted her teeth, her once heroic face now showing humiliation:

"You shameless scoundrels, you despicable villains! I won't say a word! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"..." the thug exclaimed excitedly.

"Calm down first."

Li Mo released Taiyin Will Soul.

The Taiyin Clear Radiance cast a gentle glow, conveying a sense of tranquility and peace.

Zhao Jing's agitation subsided, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes. This Divine Intent was somewhat similar to that of Cold Fairy. How could someone from the Demonic Sect possess such a Will Soul?

"You must be the ones who came to meet Lu Zhuang. Sending four Divine Observation Realm all at once, you're quite cautious..."

"No, we are also here to investigate the Demon Summoning Cult."

"Hehehe, at a time like this, don't..."

Zhao Jing stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking, staring blankly at the person opposite her.

"We just didn't expect that Lu Zhuang would already be dead when we arrived."

Li Mo took off his hood.

This face will be familiar to anyone who saw the projection of the Map of Mountains and Rivers yesterday.

Divine Hammer Little Overlord?

However, Li Mo was currently wearing a black robe and had just let out a cackling laugh, which was somewhat strange...

"You should recognize me. This is Huang Donglai, the one you just fought. He's known as the Flying Poison Two-Faced Turtle; his methods are indeed somewhat... unconventional."

"This is Xiao Qin, also a disciple of my Clear Abyss Sect."

"This bald monk is the Master Burial Love..."

"?"

Murong Xiao's face flushed red. He was about to say something when he noticed Zhao Jing's gaze on him. He could only reveal a ferocious smile with his mouth full of watermelon juice.

"Hello, I Cang Ai, a disciple of the Hanging Temple."

"Then why are you wearing the clothes of members of the Demonic Sect and imitating human speech?"

Zhao Jing was stunned; the CPU was showing signs of overheating.

"This was to avoid suspicion. We were waiting for Lu Zhuang's contact to avoid alerting him before we could act as we saw fit. We didn't expect to run into you first..."

Li Mo quickly recounted the whole story.

Zhao Jing finally understood what had happened and nodded, saying, "I see, it was a misunderstanding..."

But then she asked in confusion:

"With the Hidden Dragon Assembly approaching, why are you wasting your energy investigating the Divine Strength Powder?"

"The Divine Strength Powder is extremely harmful and should be destroyed. Aren't you and we kindred spirits?"

Little Li the Gentleman spoke with righteous indignation.

Facing that handsome and sunny face, Zhao Jing felt she couldn't refute it, and was even a little moved.

Then.

The four-person group of the Demon Summoning Cult's Hundred Beast Hall has become a five-person group.

The group discussed their next move while quietly waiting for their contact to appear.

An hour later, pedestrians were coming and going on the street.

Suddenly, a peddler carrying a shoulder pole appeared at the street corner; it must be said that his disguise was very convincing.

Unfortunately, under the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye, there was nowhere to hide.

"That person is from the Blood Refinement Hall of the Demon Summoning Cult."

"Don't act rashly; proceed according to plan."

On the other side.

Cloud-Stepping Tower.

For the first time ever, Ying Bing slept through the night last night to make sure she was well-rested and in top condition.

She changed into the Taiyin Immortal-Retaining Skirt, took out the Tribulation Body Jade, lowered her eyes for a moment, and decided to find a quiet and secluded place to use it again.

The calamity will surely cause quite a stir.

If she doesn't properly temper her physical body, how will she deal with that naive brat whose physical body is comparable to a legendary weapon?

Forty has been absorbed into the Venus. Hammer Treasure is playing with Little Moon. Could it be that he still carries a hammer with him?

Ying Bing got up and went to the main hall. The waiter from Cloud-Stepping Tower immediately led her to her usual seat, where a note was pasted on the table:

Eat well, I'll be home tonight.

Where did he go?

"The Hidden Dragon Assembly is approaching, and he's still running around everywhere..."

Ying Bing frowned slightly, rubbed the Big-Headed Doll's head, and went out while thinking about this matter after finishing her meal.

She walked through the bustling Imperial Capital, gradually moving from the vibrant Inner City to the outskirts.

"He probably has other things to do..."

Ying Bing raised her head, her clear and cold eyes momentarily stunned.

Looking around, all I could see were chaotic streets.

Where is she?

What places did I just pass through?

The strong-willed Cold Fairy refused to admit that she had gotten lost again.

She began to recall carefully, and then she discovered...

"Li Mo Road, Li Mo Street, Li Mo Alley..."

Ying Bing pursed her lips.

She activated the Taiyin Will Soul, and activated the Sharing the Moon.

Buzz--

Buzz--

Just now, the five-person group from the Hundred Beast Hall, Divine Envoy, successfully gained the peddler's trust, mainly thanks to Little Li.

As everyone knows, he is very knowledgeable about the Demon Summoning Cult.

The peddler was about to take them to the outpost.

But at that moment, the fluctuations of Taiyin 'Will Soul arrived.

Huang Donglai: "..."

Xiao Qin: "..."

Murong Xiao: "..."

Demon Summoning Cult Peddler: "?"

Li Mo: "!"

In the past, when watching movies, some police and gangster films would always have the phone ringing just when the protagonist was hiding and the tension was about to break.

Li Mo never expected that he would encounter the same thing one day.

Still in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
