They were all eager to see Jiang Xianya. In order to leave a good impression on Jiang Xianya and learn some basics of mystical arts from her, they guarded this evil cultivator very carefully, staying up all night until dawn, for fear of any mishap.

The next morning, Jiang Xianya arrived at the county government office.

If this matter isn't handled properly soon, my maternal grandfather and his family probably won't even dare to sleep.

Last night, everyone except her and her mother crowded into the hall, which was decorated with talismans, until dawn.

Even Qi Jiu stayed there and refused to come out.

If Jiang Xianya hadn't calculated his fortune, I really wouldn't have believed that this person was a prince.

This guy is incredibly cowardly.

My maternal grandfather was already ill, and this morning he became a little confused.

My maternal grandmother was very worried and fell ill as well.

Jiang Xianya took their pulses and planned to personally go to the pharmacy to get medicine to treat their illnesses.

In addition, she also needs to get medicine for herself to improve her physical condition as soon as possible.

But the most important thing now is for her to go to the government office first.

Her family was worried about her going to the government office alone, so they specially asked her maternal uncle, Ye Xianwen, to accompany her.

Ye Miaoyun didn't come because her parents had fallen ill and she had to take care of them.

Upon arriving at the county government office and meeting Magistrate Huang, Jiang Xianya went straight to the prison, where she not only met Yuan Yang and the other Taoist priests, but also the heretical cultivators imprisoned there.

“Miss Jiang, this is the man. With the help of Master Yuanyang and the others, and with the help of the magical artifacts passed down in the Taoist temple, we finally managed to capture him. However… we couldn’t interrogate him at all. As soon as I got close to him, I heard the cries of many wronged souls. My head was spinning and I couldn’t speak.” Magistrate Huang was telling the truth; he was genuinely frightened.

Jiang Xianya nodded upon hearing this: "Open the cell door, I'll give it a try."

"This... is Miss Jiang confident?" Magistrate Huang asked hurriedly.

Jiang Xianya nodded.

If she wasn't confident, would she dare to come to the county government office?

Magistrate Huang didn't say much and immediately ordered the prison doors to be opened.

The person imprisoned inside is the same person Jiang Xianya saw in the footage when she was deducing the murderer.

He was the one who killed Xu Qianniang.

As soon as Jiang Xianya entered, the evil cultivator made his move. He immediately cut his palm and dripped blood onto the black jar he carried with him. The black jar instantly swelled several times in size and hurled itself at Jiang Xianya.

Those who cultivate the Tao, even those who practice evil cultivation, will have their ability to foresee danger enhanced once their strength reaches a certain level.

Although this evil cultivator was captured last night by Yuan Yang and several other Taoist priests using the temple's magical artifacts, he didn't actually fight desperately.

He couldn't bear to destroy his own magical artifact, so he kept enduring it.

He wasn't worried about being arrested because he believed he could escape; he figured he might as well just be taking a stroll around the county government office.

He only started to panic after he was completely trapped by the talismans.

This evil cultivator had planned to break out as soon as the prison door opened. In addition, Jiang Xianya gave him a particularly dangerous feeling, so as soon as he arrived, he summoned his natal magic weapon, which he had refined with evil magic, and used his strongest move to fight desperately.

This black jar was made from special soil mixed with the blood of several animals. It is a cold and yin substance. After being refined into a natal magic weapon by an evil cultivator, it contained many ghosts and monsters. The power that is now erupting includes the power of those ghosts and monsters.

Jiang Xianya had sensed the danger beforehand and had taken precautions.

When the black jar, magnified several times, suddenly came crashing down, Jiang Xianya abruptly raised her hand, and her powerful soul force erupted instantly, not only freezing the black jar in place but also shattering it.

Once the black jar shattered, the ghosts and monsters inside flew out, some strong and some weak.

However, no matter how powerful a ghost is, its power will be weakened countless times during the day. Jiang Xianya did not hold back and kept forming hand seals. Soon, she defeated these ghosts and made them disappear completely from the world.

The evil cultivator suffered a fatal backlash because his natal magic weapon was shattered and the ghosts he had nurtured with his blood had all died. He vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fainted immediately.

"Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang is truly amazing." Magistrate Huang was genuinely astonished and quickly stepped forward to flatter her.

This girl is from Weiyang County, and now she lives in Liuhe Town, which is only a few miles away from the county seat.

If Miss Jiang can help the county government solve difficult cases in the future, then why should he worry about not being able to solve cases or get promoted?

"Miss Jiang, is this evil cultivator dead?" Yuan Yang and the others quickly gathered around, their faces filled with excitement.

Miss Jiang is truly amazing. The few moves she just showed have completely astonished them. She's far more skilled than their master.

“He didn’t die, he just suffered a backlash and reaped what he sowed. He won’t live much longer.” After Jiang Xianya finished speaking, she directly used a secret technique to extract the evil cultivator’s soul from his body and read his memories.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Yang and the others turned pale.

Although Miss Jiang is powerful, her behavior is somewhat frightening. Extracting people's souls is something that only evil and crooked people do.

In just a quarter of an hour, Jiang Xianya had collected the evil cultivator's soul into the small bottle she carried with her.

"Miss Jiang, has the matter been investigated thoroughly?" Magistrate Huang stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Jiang Xianya nodded: "This evil cultivator was hired by someone with a lot of money to deal with my stepfather Qi Jiu. Someone didn't want the Ye family to take him in, so they wanted to make an example of him."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Huang's eyes widened.

“This evil cultivator is dead. Even if I hand over his soul to Lord Huang, you won’t be able to find any clues. Only I can read all his memories.” Jiang Xianya paused slightly as she spoke. “Of course, this evil cultivator suffered a backlash before and was already a dying man. Even if I didn’t extract his soul, he wouldn’t have survived until today.”

"Then...then I will report to the court that someone has spent a lot of money to bribe evil people, attempting to use evil magic to harm Master Jiu." Magistrate Huang took a deep breath and said.

Jiang Xianya nodded, took the small porcelain bottle in her hand, and went out.

She also had to take this evil cultivator to see Xu Qianniang, help Xu Qianniang resolve her inner conflicts, and help her pass on to the afterlife.

In this way, the Ye family no longer needs to live in fear.

In fact, this evil cultivator was not bribed by anyone to deal with Qi Jiu.

Jiang Xianya read all of his memories.

This evil cultivator was bribed with a large sum of money by the wife her scumbag father, Jiang Mingtao, married in Beijing.

This evil cultivator came to Liuhe Town to wipe them all out.

Of course, judging from this heretical cultivator's memories, Jiang Mingtao was also involved.

Jiang Xianya tricked Magistrate Huang because she wanted to help Qi Jiu.

What would the emperor, far away in the capital, do if he knew that his son was almost killed by an evil cultivator?

Jiang Xianya is really looking forward to it.

Of course, she would secretly give Qi Jiu a push to help him, so that he could take the whole family away sooner.

With such formidable enemies as Jiang Mingtao and his wife, they couldn't just stay in Liuhe Town and passively take hits forever.

It would be better to go to the capital sooner and kill that couple.
