True Spirit Imprints and the Theory of Reincarnation!

Azure Dragon Avenue.

Martial Saint Manor.

"Halt!"

Just as Jiang Ning approached the gates of an ordinary-looking residence, two saber-bearing gatekeepers stepped forward and raised their hands to stop him.

"Please announce my arrival. Jiang Ning, patrol inspector of Dongling Commandery, Guangning Prefecture, requests an audience with Lord Xiao Wuque!"

At his words,

the two gatekeepers exchanged a glance.

Then one of them said, "Lord Xiao is not at Martial Saint Manor at present."

"Not at Martial Saint Manor?" Jiang Ning murmured, then asked, "Could you tell me where Lord Xiao Wuque is?"

The two gatekeepers shook their heads.

"Lord Xiao's whereabouts are something we can neither disclose nor will disclose!"

With that, they cupped their hands toward Jiang Ning. "Please forgive us. We are only fulfilling our duties."

"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he turned and left.

I'll go to Martial King Manor! He immediately made his decision.

There were few people he knew in the Royal Capital.

Aside from Ji Minghao and Ji Mingyue in the imperial palace, there was only the Martial King, Xiang Yuan.

His encounter with the Martial King on Profound Finger Mountain a few days earlier had shown him that Xiang Yuan was fairly approachable.

Just as he was about to set off,

"Come find me at Inspection Headquarters!"

A voice suddenly descended from overhead and rang in Jiang Ning's ears.

His steps stopped abruptly. He looked up, only to see a cloudless expanse of azure sky.

Then he looked toward Inspection Headquarters.

The Royal Capital was divided by four great avenues extending east, west, north, and south.

He was currently on Azure Dragon Avenue in the east.

From his earlier study of the map, Inspection Headquarters was on Black Tortoise Avenue to the north, toward the imperial city.
