The next day.

The streets and alleys of the capital were swept up by two pieces of gossip. After all, in this era, there was not much entertainment besides gossiping during leisure time after meals.

"Have you heard? This morning someone found a man lying on the official road outside the city with both hands severed. This matter has alarmed the government."

"I heard that the victim was the uncle of the fiancée of General Gong's eldest grandson. The fiancée's mother is currently at the government office, demanding that the thief be found."

“I’ve heard about that person too. He gambles a lot. Maybe he owes a lot of money and can’t pay it back, so his creditors are targeting him.”

The public had many different opinions, but most were just watching the spectacle.

Another piece of news is also related to General Gong's family.

The protagonist of that incident was the cousin of the fiancée of General Gong's second grandson.

“You don’t know, I saw it all. The two of them were lying together without any clothes on.”

"Moreover, the situation was so intense that the bed was almost falling apart. If it weren't for the arsonist, we might not have discovered it yet."

"It's not a big deal, is it? He's just having fun with women. Maybe she's his mistress?"

“The mistress is not a problem, but the two of them are men, which is homosexuality.”

"I also heard that one of the men had previously wanted to marry the daughter of the Left Vice Censor-in-Chief, who is now the fiancée of General Gong's second grandson."

He's having an affair with his fiancée's cousin on one hand, and wants to marry his cousin on the other. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too.

In general, the gossip that's sweeping Beijing right now is all about the two granddaughters-in-law that General Gong's family has just arranged.

Some people, not wanting to miss an opportunity to stir up trouble, even suggested that the two girls were incompatible with the Gong family and that their marriage was inappropriate.

However, Gong Jiagen did not give these people a chance and directly stated that what the Gong family valued was the character of these two girls.

It has nothing to do with anyone else.

It also reassured the two girls to wait for their marriages, etc.

This performance once again drew cheers from the people.

This made those who originally wanted to marry into the Gong family extremely resentful.

Such a good husband's family is hard to find in the capital.

Besides, it's the family of a great general.

After these two events, the capital returned to peace.

Everything remained peaceful until the end of the year.

Jing Le felt that there was something strange about this matter. Logically speaking, the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor would not come to the capital without causing trouble.

They failed last time, so who knows what ruthless tricks they're up to?

Jing Le was bored in the palace and played on the swing like a real child, letting Eleven push her around.

Experience the feeling of flying into the sky.

Just then, the white tiger, who had gone out to play, suddenly ran over.

"Master, I have something important to report."

With no one else around, the White Tiger stopped hiding and spoke in human language, speaking solemnly.

"What is it? Speak."

Seeing that Baihu was getting anxious, Jing Le stopped the swing and said.

"I went to the back mountain today and found that many animals have suddenly disappeared recently."

Baihu told Jingle everything he knew.

I went for a walk in the hills behind the palace today and found that one of my usual playmates was missing.

That was a younger brother he had recently taken in, who had also only recently gained sentience, so he listened to the White Tiger very much.

But today, he couldn't be found anywhere. Baihu thought something had happened to him and searched everywhere for him.

But there was no trace of it.

Logically speaking, with Baihu's current strength, finding a companion should be easy, but that's the strange thing.

He couldn't find it.

There wasn't even a bird around; the once bustling forest had become eerily quiet.

He also searched deeper into the forest but found no signs of life.

“Except for one unusual spot, there are no living creatures there, not even snakes, insects, or rodents.”

The more Baihu spoke, the more serious he became.

Jing Le immediately sensed something was amiss upon hearing this.

This is too strange; there must be something wrong: "Let's go take a look."

Jing Le jumped down, climbed onto the white tiger's back, and patted its head.

The white tiger then darted out.

The eleventh followed closely behind.

Before long, the two people and the tiger arrived at the place the white tiger had mentioned.

The white tiger cannot see what's here, but Jing Le can see it all clearly.

"It's actually the Hundred Yin Demon-Born Formation."

"Master, what is the Hundred Yin Demon-Born Array?"

Eleven and the White Tiger couldn't see it, but they could sense that there was something there.

"The Hundred Yin Demon-Born Array is an array drawn by the demon race using the bones and blood extracted from the corpses of a hundred kinds of animals."

"The goal is to create a demonic puppet."

"For this demonic puppet to take shape, it requires the corpses of a hundred kinds of animals and the bone and blood of an animal that has gained sentience to serve as the array's core."

"It will take three days and three nights of refining to succeed."

"The moment the demonic puppet is deployed, it recognizes itself as its master, thus creating another entity that is like a clone."

Jing Le explained its function to the man and the tiger.

Another point she didn't mention was that this demonic puppet possessed animalistic intelligence and had its own thoughts.

Not only can it conceal its demonic energy, but it can also freely switch between anger and demonic energy.

His presence was completely concealed, and he blended into the crowd so well that no one could detect him.

Even if Jing Le is incredibly powerful, it will still take him some time to find him.

Thinking of this, Jing Le's eyes darkened.

It's obvious that this formation was set up by the Imperial Advisor. His only purpose was to obtain the dragon energy of the Jing family.

Jing Le stepped forward and began to observe.

After walking around the formation, they discovered something unusual.
