Chapter 263: Retreat and Practice
The pile of bones and animal skins that No. 7 brought back instantly set the city in the sea on fire.
When Xie Liuyin received the news and came back from his temporary residence, he saw that the inner courtyard of the white palace was filled with bones. Pieces of well-preserved animal skins were laid on the jade floor tiles, looking lifelike.
Each one looked like a living demon cub, lying on the ground and sleeping peacefully.
Seeing this scene, even those who hated the demon race couldn't help but feel compassion.
"So, everything in the evidence is true?" No. 7's boss walked across the crowd to No. 7's side, looking at the young corpses on the ground with an unpleasant expression on his face.
The purpose of their patrol department has always been to protect mortals against demons. In their view, demons have inhuman power and are very dangerous to mortals, so mortals need their protection.
But now, the weak mortals have become the executioners, and the demons they hate have suffered such cruel persecution.
A group of demon hunters from the Patrol Department felt as if their hearts were broken for a moment.
Number Seven nodded to his superior: "We have checked everything out. Everything recorded in the account book is true. The bodies of these demon cubs were also dug out from the houses of those mortals."
Number Seven's voice became quieter and quieter, until it was almost inaudible.
Xie Liuyin saw that the monster hunters who heard these words lowered their heads one by one, as if they were afraid to face the reality.
But Xie Liuyin did not regret coming to see them. She immediately stepped forward and said to No. 7, "Since you have already found out the truth, shouldn't you give Su Shagui and the others some justice?"
"I will announce to the world that they are not guilty, and I will also apologize to them in public." Number 7 did what he said. Long before Xie Liuyin came over, he had already gone to the Mission Hall to prove the innocence of Su Shagui and Hu Fengchun.
Although they killed mortals, they avenged for justice and were not guilty in the eyes of the Patrol Office.
The boss sighed deeply, patted No. 7 on the shoulder, and turned back to work.
The boss was also very clear that once today's incident was exposed, the external reputation of the Inspection Department would certainly be affected, and he must be prepared to deal with it.
The Inspection Department has branches throughout the entire world of cultivation. Once the news from the headquarters spread, it didn't take long for the entire world of cultivation to know about it, and even the evil cultivators joined in the fun.
No one expected that the Inspection Department, which has always been known for its fairness and justice, would make mistakes.
What was even more unacceptable to them was that this matter was related to Zangzhen Fort.
It was learned that the descendants of the monks in Cangzhen Castle were so cruel that they hunted and killed so many monster cubs and even skinned and pulled out their tendons. The entire Cangzhen Castle was affected and was visited by a group of monsters who hated humans.
Ordinary mortals were better off, just being looked down upon by the demons. But the families who bought the cubs suffered retribution.
All the living had to pay with their lives, and even the graves of the dead were dug up, and the corpses inside were thrown into the cesspool by the demons.
The families whose graves were dug up did not dare to collect the remains of their elders, for fear that this would anger the demons and cause them to be killed as well.
At the same time, No. 7 really apologized to Su Shakui and the others as he had said at the beginning, and he also deliberately spread the news of his apology so that everyone in the world could know his apology.
Su Shagui was fine, he didn't care that much about No. 7. But as soon as Hu Fengchun got the news, he rushed to find Xie Liuyin.
"Did he really apologize to us?" As soon as the call was connected, Hu Fengchun's voice came from the other end.
Xie Liuyin smiled helplessly: "You are really well-informed. I was just about to tell you about this. No. 7 did apologize to you, in front of many demon hunters from the Patrol Department. I specially used the photo stone to record this scene for you. When we meet again, I will give you the photo stone."
Hu Fengchun became even happier when he heard Xie Liuyin say this.
This Number Seven was really powerful. After he convicted Hu Fengchun and Su Shagui, he chased them all the way.
The two of them almost died at the hands of No. 7 several times. If it weren't for Hu Fengchun, the five-tailed fox, who was proficient in illusion, they would probably have died by now.
Therefore, Hu Fengchun really disliked Number Seven, and was happy when he heard him bow his head and apologize to him.
"You are so nice. I'm determined to make you my friend!" If Hu Fengchun was just curious about Xie Liuyin before, now he really has a good impression of this female cultivator.
Xie Liuyin didn't care much about it and just changed the subject: "First tell me, how is Xie Mingzhu now."
On the surface, Hu Fengchun and his companion had separated from Xie Mingzhu, but secretly they still lingered near the Demon Sect, carefully monitoring them for Xie Liuyin.
"One good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Hu Fengchun deliberately teased her.
Xie Liuyin: "Let me tell you the bad news first."
"The bad news is that Xie Mingzhu has now reached the foundation-building stage." Hu Fengchun said, "The good news is that the Demon Sect was very angry because Si Wu was captured, and simply took away Si Wu's position as the young master. The next young master to succeed him is likely to be Si Feilan."
"But Si Feilan hates Xie Mingzhu very much. Her good days in the Demon Sect are about to end."
When Hu Fengchun said the last sentence, the gloating tone in his voice was very obvious.
Xie Liuyin was silent for a while before saying, "I would like to ask you not to leave the Demon Sect for the time being, and help me keep an eye on Xie Mingzhu and the new young master who is about to take office."
"What about you? What are you going to do next?" Since he was free anyway, Hu Fengchun didn't mind staying here for a while.
Besides, Xie Liuyin did help them a lot, so Hu Fengchun was still willing to do something for him.
Soon, Xie Liuyin's sharp voice rang out: "I want to go back to practice in seclusion!"
Most of the trivial matters involving her have been resolved. Now seeing that Xie Mingzhu's magic skills are improving by leaps and bounds, if Xie Liuyin does not move, she may be defeated by the opponent at any time.
She doesn't want to lose to Xie Mingzhu again.
Fortunately, when Xie Liuyin was in the secret realm before, her cultivation had already advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core. She had sufficient spiritual energy in her body, and her state of mind was also sufficient to match the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Xie Liuyin planned to practice all the way to the Nascent Soul stage during this retreat, and then venture into the Senluo Realm to hone himself.
The cultivators who have been to the Senluo Realm say that it is a great place and is also the most suitable place for Xie Liuyin to improve his cultivation.
Even if he had to use all extreme methods, Xie Liuyin had to cultivate to the Tribulation Realm as quickly as possible and have the ability to fight against that group of immortals.
Hu Fengchun didn't say much, just said: "We can help you keep an eye on him for ten years at most."
"That's enough. These ten years are enough." Xie Liuyin thanked him softly.
