The next day, Ye Qing'er filed a lawsuit with the government, accusing Liang Yinghuan disregarding the law and forcibly abducting a woman in the street.

On the third day, Liang Jiachi, the lord of Ten Thousand Mountains City, issued a transfer order, removing the governor in charge of Liang Yinghuan's case and replacing him with another of his confidants.

This behavior quickly triggered an alert from the artificial intelligence system, which immediately sent an unusual alert to the central government of the Chen Kingdom, requesting that the central government send an imperial envoy to follow up on the matter.

This is a pre-set program by Chen Mu. When a case involves relatives of senior executives, it will automatically assess the risk factor based on the relationship topology.

When the threshold is exceeded, it will be spontaneously reported to the central government, and even if local officials wield immense power, they cannot cover it up.

Next, the imperial envoy began to contact Liang Jiachi. With the envoy's intervention, Liang Jiachi dared not arbitrarily call a deer a horse.

The final result was that Liang Yinghuan was convicted as an accomplice and sentenced to six months in prison, while the man who attacked with the knife became the principal offender and was sentenced to twenty years in prison, thus concluding the case.

To test the artificial intelligence, Chen Mu did not interfere at all during the entire process, allowing it to develop naturally.

From the results of this investigation, Chen Mu discovered many problems, but most of them could be optimized, just in a gradual manner.

The reason why intelligent systems can intervene accurately is primarily due to the accurate recording of information. The entire case handling process is recorded, and artificial intelligence also assists in verifying authenticity. Therefore, anyone who wants to engage in favoritism or fraud will have nowhere to hide.

In this case, the imperial envoy could have been bribed, but as long as the entire process of the case is recorded in the system, the system will assess the risk. Once the threshold is reached, the case will be reported up the chain of command, and eventually it may even alarm Chen Hongjie.

Artificial intelligence doesn't consider human relationships or social dynamics; it only considers the benefits and drawbacks to society, which is why it becomes extremely efficient.

The current handling of the case by Chen Mu can be considered a lenient approach; otherwise, Liang Jiachi's private control over the trial would have been grounds for charges of favoritism and abuse of power.

However, the reforms in the Chen Kingdom have only just begun. The dog-eat-dog world has existed on the Pan Emperor Continent for millions of years. If the changes are too drastic all at once, they could easily backfire.

The fact that the man with the knife became the main culprit was largely due to his own voluntary actions; he willingly took the blame for the huge reward.

Artificial intelligence clearly cannot overturn his case here; it will only mark it as suspicious in the case file and leave it to officials with a sense of justice to follow up, or simply let it go.

Now, Chen Mu is this righteous official. Ye Qing'er is considered an old friend of his, and now that something like this has happened on his turf, how could he let Liang Yinghuan?

He personally intervened and reprimanded Liang Jiachi, reviewed the case, and changed Liang Yinghuan's sentence to 100 years in prison.

Chen Mu didn't care whether Liang Yinghuan would survive his release from prison; he only felt relieved.

Although his intervention seemed unfair to Liang Yinghuan, people are emotional beings, and Chen Mu, unusually, acted willfully.

In summary, the existence of artificial intelligence in the Chen Kingdom has greatly improved problems such as corruption and public security, all of which are the cornerstone of the Chen Kingdom's rapid development.

On the fifth day after Chen Mu arrived in Ten Thousand Mountains City, he finally made all the arrangements and set off for Central Province.

" Wei Shuang, Kong Yu. I'll come see you again when I have time."

Chen Mu sat inside the spaceship, waved to the people below, and then started the ship, heading into the distance.

The distance between the capital of the Haotian Empire and the Chen Kingdom is nearly a million kilometers.

Although Chen Mu's spaceship can fly at supersonic speeds, it is not in space now. Considering air resistance, friction and other factors, it will take him nearly two days to reach Central Province.

From this perspective, taking a teleportation array in the city would actually be faster; as long as you don't stop, you could probably get there in half a day.

But Chen Mu didn't want his whereabouts to be known, so he chose this method of travel.

Ever since the Little White Fox began refining the ' Golden Rope ', she has remained inside the spaceship and has not woken up.

The Little White Fox's cultivation level was only at the Late Emperor Level, so refining a sacred artifact of the rank of Golden Rope was a huge challenge for her.

Fortunately, the spirit of the Golden Rope itself is not averse to the Little White Fox, and it has also been reforged by Chen Mu, so the Little White Fox can slowly refine it.

As Chen Mu passed through Yu Province and was about to reach the border of Central Province, the Little White Fox finally woke up.

Aww...!

Suddenly, a huge phantom of Heavenly Fox appeared behind the Little White Fox. This phantom of the Heavenly Fox had nine tails and exuded a sacred and transcendent aura, but it had a pair of incomparably bewitching eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

" Heart Moon Fox?"

As a talisman master, Chen Mu was well-read and understood the characteristics of all things as a fundamental skill.

While he wasn't particularly proficient in knowledge about demonic beasts, he was still quite knowledgeable and well-versed in a wide range of subjects.

The Heart Moon Fox is a legendary ancient beast. In folk tales, it is said to be able to hear the thoughts of others and bring them happiness and good fortune in marriage. It is a kind-hearted and auspicious creature.

However, in the eyes of cultivators, no demon beast is kind; they are merely gentle by nature.

The Heart Moon Fox is only mentioned briefly in historical records and cannot be considered a species. Many people speculate that it should be a mutated monster.

"Could it be because the fusion of the Heart Devil Fox bloodline and the Heavenly Fox bloodline could potentially give birth to the Heart Moon Fox?"

Chen Mu secretly wondered.

After a while, Little White opened its eyes and excitedly said to Chen Mu.

"Father, I've broken through to the Peak Emperor Level! Haha..."

This result was within Chen Mu's expectations. The Golden Rope contained the aura of the Fox Clan's deity, Little White would definitely benefit greatly after refining it. Reaching the Peak Emperor Level would be relatively easy, and breaking through to the Saint Level in the future would probably be much easier.

However, considering that the Little White Fox is only a little over ten years old, it is already a Peak Emperor Level cultivator.

When I was ten years old, I was still hunting wild boars in Chen Village. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

"Haha, great job, Little White!"

Chen Mu couldn't possibly be truly jealous of the Little White Fox; he was just expressing a sentimental feeling.

However, at this moment, perhaps because Little White's breakthrough was too loud, it attracted the attention of the border guards of Central Province.

A troop of celestial soldiers suddenly appeared ahead, blocking the path of the space warship.

"Who are you? Why did you not report your entry into the border of my Central Province?"

A man in a blue robe stood in mid-air, staring at Chen Mu's spaceship with an unfriendly expression.

This man in blue robes was none other than the Holy Son Lan Gu, the leader of the first batch of heavenly soldiers sent down by the Heavenly Court when the Abyss Devil Race ravaged the land.
