"It seems this person has been hiding for a long time and knows a lot about our Central Region, which is why he fled after killing the Spirit Emperor. This outsider will be hard to catch."

Zhou Bo had arrested many outsiders and could immediately judge the level of difficulty.

He pointed to the people from the Defenders Sect and asked, "Tell me about the situation of the Great Spirit Dynasty?"

"The Spirit Emperor of the Great Spirit Dynasty is a member of the Spirit Clan from the Northern Region. He came to the Central Region from the Northern Region with the aim of establishing a divine dynasty in our Central Region."

"This Spirit Emperor is quite capable, especially in leading troops into battle. In just a hundred years, he overthrew the rule of the Eastern Fire God Dynasty and established the Great Spirit God Dynasty."

"According to what my subordinates have learned about the Spirit Clan, they are a race and tribe with a lot of internal strife. They have experienced more than a dozen exchanges between collateral and direct lineages."

“As the power of the collateral branches gradually grows stronger, they will replace the direct line. The shortest direct line lasted less than a thousand years before being replaced by a powerful collateral branch.”

"Currently, the direct line is led by a man named Li Long. This Li Long is extremely capable. He has addressed the imbalance between the direct and collateral lines by adding a vassal state to check and balance the collateral lines..."

After listening, Zhou Bo made his own judgment: "It seems that the most suspicious person is Li Zhen. Let's go and take a look."

...

The Imperial Palace of Dadu.

“I am unfamiliar with the Great Spirit Dynasty. You can handle many things directly without asking me. However, special circumstances require special methods.”

Han Feng was not very skilled at managing the Divine Dynasty.

Anyway, with Li Haishan and Li Chunhua there, he didn't need to worry too much.

These two men are extremely loyal to Li Zhen, so there's nothing to worry about since Han Feng's identity is Li Zhen's.

In reality, Li Long was the most loyal person to both of them, but that wasn't a big problem.

There is still a lot of time. Han Feng's realm has broken through to the Profound Heaven Realm, and he can completely use the Great Dao to deceive the two into believing they are on his side.

"Yes, Spirit Envoy."

The voices of the collateral branches of the Spirit Clan were strong and clear, much better than before.

Their souls were in Han Feng's hands, so they had no choice but to go down a dark path.

Not long after the Spirit Clan's collateral branch left, the people from the Defender Sect arrived immediately.

A group of men dressed in black, exuding a powerful aura, surrounded the entire palace, making it impossible to move.

"Lord of the Defender of the Dao Sect, what has happened?"

Li Haishan asked politely.

Above the various divine dynasties in the Central Region, there is also the powerful Defender Sect.

The Defender Sect doesn't usually get involved in things, but when they do, everyone has to obey.

"Your Great Spirit Dynasty's Spirit Emperor was killed while fleeing. We suspect that the person who killed the Spirit Emperor is from outside, so we came here specifically to investigate."

Zhou Bo said bluntly.

"The Spirit Emperor is dead?"

Li Haishan was both surprised and delighted.

He made so many arrangements in Dadu, yet the Ling Emperor still managed to escape.

This dynasty belongs to the Spirit Emperor, and Li Haishan controls a considerable number of troops.

However, in the eyes of many officials and ordinary people, Emperor Ling was the righteous one, and Li Haishan was a traitor.

Li Haishan was 100% confident that he could capture and kill the Spirit Emperor.

Hearing that the Spirit Emperor had been killed while fleeing, Li Haishan was naturally overjoyed.

Zhou Bo observed Li Haishan for a long time but found nothing amiss: "The Spirit Emperor is indeed dead. The person who made the move was an unknown powerhouse. I suspect he is not from the Central Region. I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."

Li Haishan patted his chest and said, "Inspector Zhou, you can investigate as you please. This powerful outsider has nothing to do with me. It's very likely that this Spirit Emperor is just unlucky."

"I hope so."

Zhou Bo, expressionless, gave his subordinate a gesture, immediately instructing him to go and inspect.

They examined Li Chunhua and Li Haishan carefully for a long time but found nothing wrong.

Zhou Bo took out a jade talisman and came to Li Zhen.

It's practically impossible for Li Haishan and Li Chunhua to have been in Zhongyu for so long.

The most obvious suspect is Li Zhen, who just came from the Northern Region.

"This jade talisman is a secret treasure of our Defender Sect, second only to the Emperor's decree. It can verify the authenticity of the person in front of you."

Zhou Bo said, "I'm giving you a chance now. If you take the initiative to reveal your identity, we, the Defenders of the Dao Sect, will not object and will give you a chance to become a member of the Dao Domain."

"If we use the jade talisman to check and find that you are from the outside world, we, the Defenders of the Dao Sect, will not let you off lightly. You should consider the consequences."

Han Feng smiled bitterly, "I am Li Zhen. That is an outsider to me. If I had the cultivation of the late Yellow Heaven Realm and the strength to kill the Spirit Emperor, would I still let the Spirit Emperor escape?"

Li Haishan testified from the side: "We were all around Lord Spirit Envoy just now. If Lord Spirit Envoy had left, we would have known."

“That’s right. If Lord Spirit Envoy were an outsider with the cultivation of the late Yellow Heaven Realm, he wouldn’t have allowed the Spirit Emperor to act so recklessly and risk exposing himself.”

Li Chunhua said.

“The evidence you provided is all useful and can fully prove that Li Zhen is not an outsider. However, I still have some doubts. By testing the jade talisman, we can confirm Li Zhen with 100% certainty.”

Zhou Bo crushed the jade talisman, and a killing intent surged towards Han Feng.

Both the imperial edict and the jade talisman originated from the Great Emperor of the Dao Domain.

The words on the imperial edict were personally written by the Great Emperor of the Dao Domain, and the Dao of Slaughter was even more pronounced on them.

The jade talisman was made by his subordinates and contained a trace of the Dao of Slaughter from the Great Emperor of the Dao Domain.

As a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm, even a trace of the Dao of Slaughter from the Dao Emperor of the Dao Domain is extremely terrifying.

Many people cannot withstand this trace of the Great Dao of Slaughter; their Dao Heart will shatter before it.

The jade talisman has been used many times and has been used to check many outsiders.

Among the many outsiders, only two or three were able to resist.

These two or three people are all at the late stage of the Earthly Heaven Realm, so it's normal for them to use concealment methods to avoid being detected by the jade talisman.

If Zhou Bo didn't think that Li Zhen in front of him was an outsider, he could withstand him with his late-stage Yellow Heaven Realm cultivation.

A trace of the Dao of Slaughter entered Li Zhen's body, and his body instinctively manifested the Dao.

Li Zhen cultivated the Great Dao of Space, and the complete Great Dao of Space emerged, attempting to resist this trace of the Great Dao of Slaughter.

Then the trail of killing intent vanished, leaving only Li Zhen, covered in cold sweat.

I'm sorry.

Zhou Bo confirmed that Li Zhen was not an outsider.

"It's alright. I've heard about the rules of the Central Region from the Northern Region. Just as the legend says, the Central Region is very strict in checking outsiders."

Han Feng pretended to be very resentful and said, "The people I hate the most are outsiders. If it weren't for them, my mother wouldn't have died."

The fact that Li Zhen's mother was killed by outsiders is true.

It seems that Li Zhen returned to his mother's tribe with her, where they were attacked and killed by outsiders.
