Zhou Qing did not go to the Morning Light Ghost and God Bureau, nor did he contact anyone from other government offices.

Instead, he walked alone in Chenguang County, carefully sensing everything around him in the hope of gaining something.

Compared with others, Haoran Qi is indeed an advantage in searching for demons, but unfortunately, this power is not omnipotent.

Not every demon or every person who practices evil skills can sense it.

Either they are practicing advanced and orthodox methods that lead directly to the fairyland, or they are practicing evil methods that are not advanced but unique, or there are other special circumstances that may be overlooked by Haoran Qi.

There is no absolutely unsolvable power in the world.

Walking on the roads of Chenguang County, Zhou Qing truly felt the harm of the evil cultivators.

The most direct description is that the people are living in misery and panic.

Some people were killed, but those who were not killed would inevitably panic when they heard the news, which would greatly affect the governance of various places.

The damage caused by a demonic disaster is extensive, long-lasting and huge.

At a certain moment, Zhou Qing stopped and looked to the left.

This is a large courtyard with high walls, which looks quite impressive.

One can imagine what the situation was inside this high-walled courtyard that made him stop and look at it at this moment.

It is true that there are many situations that can avoid the perception of the noble energy, but...

The number of evil cultivators and demons that can be sensed by the great righteousness must be even greater.

The former is the exception, the minority, not the norm.

Zhou Qing walked to the main entrance and saw the plaque from afar.

"Liu Mansion..."

After thinking about it, Zhou Qing turned and left.

He is not a lone ranger, he has an organization, and there is no need to do some things secretly.

Under the current situation in Tianyue County, dealing with matters related to evil cultivators and demons is the general trend.

After arriving at the Department of Ghosts and Gods and revealing his identity, Zhou Qing met the temporary person in charge here.

A day-traveling monk named Yuan Tong.

The person in charge of the Ghost and God Department is surnamed Yuan. His identity is very obvious. He is a member of the Yuan family in the county city, a friendly unit of Zhou Qing.

It seems that the Yuan family has considerable influence in the Department of Ghosts and Gods, with a deputy chief and officials at all levels below them.

That’s the name, Yuan Tong…

It's no wonder that the names of the Yuan family members were all very familiar to Zhou Qing.

Yuan Tong also knew Zhou Qing, and received him politely, then asked: "What is the matter that brought you to Chenguang County? If you need any help, just tell me, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Everyone in the entire Tianyue County has heard of Zhou Qing’s name as a genius, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing said: "I accidentally got news about a demon and tracked him down here."

He couldn't say that it was his own great righteousness that sensed it. He cultivated this kind of power, and not many people knew about it. It was considered one of his secrets.

Although it's not a secret that must not be disclosed, and it's okay if someone knows it, there's no need to tell everyone.

Tracking down the devil here is obviously a very good reason.

Don’t ask me why I discovered the devil. The answer is that there were clues a long time ago.

After Zhou Qing mentioned the devil, Yuan Tong's expression suddenly changed.

"Where is the devil's trace?"

"There is a Liu Mansion in Chenguang County. What is its situation?" Zhou Qing asked.

"The Liu family is a large and wealthy family in Chenguang County. The county magistrate's son and the Liu family's daughter are married."

Yuan Tong briefly introduced the Liu family's situation. "The eldest son of the Liu family's patriarch is the deputy chief of the Dingwu Division in the county."

"It's quite a force."

They are related by marriage to the county magistrate, and some of their relatives hold important positions in the Dingwu Division. This kind of family is completely a local tyrant in a county.

Zhou Qing asked again: "What's the situation with the deputy governor?"

"I'm not in Chenguang County. I've been working in another county during this period of time." Yuan Tong said.

"Huh? The local deputy chief of Dingwu Division is not here?" Zhou Qing was immediately confused.

Yuan Tong explained: "In order to prevent these local officials from shielding local forces and being infiltrated, which would increase the difficulty of investigation, the local masters of each county in Tianyue were randomly exchanged to other counties."

"No favoritism, no connections. Once a problem is discovered, we will investigate it thoroughly. And every once in a while, those cultivator officials will continue to be randomly assigned to different places to solve the problems facing Tianyue County as much as possible."

"Even we are not fixed to one county. Those masters at the Manifestation of Sainthood and Marrow Cleansing Realm will also change their responsible areas."

"After this matter is over, we will unify the merits and demerits."

Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this. This was a rather special method.

But if you ask whether it is useful, it definitely is.

It would be of little use for mortal officials to transfer in this way, but it is different for officials of cultivation, as they possess power within themselves and have status no matter where they go.

They have a legitimate reason to fight and they have violence at their disposal. If they were in another place, they would be able to do whatever they want without restraint and without being bound by the ways of the world.

This method certainly has its drawbacks, but overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"If that's the case, then the deputy steward may not be aware of the affairs of the Liu Mansion?" Zhou Qing asked.

"Deputy Governor Liu has never been back, so if he has never come into contact with the demon in his county, then he should not know the traces of the demon that you mentioned, Zhou Xunyou."

From Yuan Tong's words, it was obvious that he had already determined that what Zhou Qing said was true.

Taibai Zhouqing is such a great man, how could he talk nonsense about such things?

"Then is there any problem in searching Liu's house?"

“If they really dare to harbor the evil, let alone the small clans in the county, even the big forces in Tianyue City will be liquidated!”

The imperial court generally does not take action against local forces, and local officials will also respect and give in to local hegemonic forces. After all, the relationship between the central and local governments is very complicated.

However, all this is based on certain prerequisites.

If you collude with the devil or betray Da Qi, there will be no negotiation and you will be wiped out.

If the local government cannot do it, Yujing will send people directly.

You can make concessions under normal circumstances, but the bottom line of the court must never be touched.

Yuan Tong suddenly showed hesitation, "I'm afraid it's not that the Liu Mansion is hiding a demon, but..."

He didn't finish his words, but Zhou Qing understood what he meant.

Instead, the devil is hiding secretly in Liu's mansion and may have even committed crimes in secret.

If that happens, the people in the Liu Mansion will probably be in great danger.

"I'll go find some people and go to Liu's house together."

After Yuan Tong finished speaking, he walked out directly and came back with a dozen people not long after.

Then Zhou Qing and he led the way to Liu's Mansion. After arriving here, that faint sensation still existed.

The people from the Department of Ghosts and Gods directly pushed open the door of Liu's mansion. The guard was trembling with fear and dared not utter a word.

If you work as a security guard for a big family in Chenguang County and don’t know these people, you can say that you have wasted your time.

"The rest of you should spread out and guard the Liu Mansion. No one can leave without my permission."

"You guys go and call out all the people in the Liu family, from the head of the family to the servants. As long as they are alive, all of them must appear in front of me."

Yuan Tong gave orders, and of course, Zhou Qing was not included in his orders.

Zhou Qing said to Yuan Tong, "I'll go take a look too, just in case the evil hidden here gets desperate."

"Sorry for the trouble Zhou Xunyou."

Zhou Qing walked directly towards the direction that caused Haoran's energy to move differently.

After arriving there, he found that this seemed to be the kitchen. He pushed the door open and took a look. The movement of Haoran's Qi became more and more obvious.

There was only a middle-aged man in the kitchen.

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. A Zangfu Realm disciple came to cook for a group of mortals? He didn't even have this treatment in Taibai Martial Arts School! The daily meals of Taibai Martial Arts School were all prepared by a special person, not by the disciples themselves.

That’s right, this middle-aged man is a warrior at the Zangfu realm.

At this time, there was a noise outside. It was the Liu family members who were called out who were talking and making noise. No one knew what was going on.

The commotion outside also made the middle-aged man's expression change, and then his eyes showed a fierce light.

"The lackeys of the imperial court have a very sharp nose. They found us so quickly."

The middle-aged man turned and left before he could finish his words. He had no intention of getting into conflict with Zhou Qing.

"boom!"

Relying on his strong body, the middle-aged man directly crashed down the wall and tried to escape.

For warriors at the Viscera Realm, ordinary buildings are too fragile and are not a hindrance at all.

But the wall could not stop him, but a hand was placed on the middle-aged man who had just run a short distance, holding him tightly and making him unable to move.

"Meeting each other means fate, so why rush to leave?" Zhou Qing said quietly.

"call!"

The man looked horrified, his fist whistling, and he turned around and punched decisively.

Zhou Qing quickly raised his hand and took his punch.

"Is this your full strength?"

Zhou Qing grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulder and threw him to the ground. Before he could react, he was hit hard again and kicked out.

After all this commotion, Yuan Tong and the others naturally rushed over. After seeing the middle-aged man's face clearly, Yuan Tong exclaimed.

"Dirty and poisonous ghost hand! This is the evil cultivator wanted by Tianhai County!"

Zhou Qing's speed was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye, and he appeared in front of the middle-aged man again.

"He's still a wanted criminal."

After confirming the man's identity, Zhou Qing no longer held back and stepped on him, causing him to scream and wail.

True energy surged out and entered the body of this "dirty and poisonous ghost hand", violently destroying his tendons and veins and sealing his acupuncture points.

Several people from the Ghost and God Department ran over and quickly tied him up.

The others looked at Zhou Qing with eyes full of awe.

He treats an evil cultivator at the organ realm as a ball and kicks him around. This guy is really terrifying.

The Liu family members who were watching from a distance were all terrified.

"The Poisonous Ghost Hand is an evil cultivator who is good at using poison. This poison affects the five internal organs. Once you are infected, it will corrode the five internal organs and is extremely difficult to cure."

Yuan Tong walked over and quickly explained this man's identity to Zhou Qing.

"This person used to be an evil cultivator active in Tianhai County. Due to the special and hidden nature of his poison skills, he caused a lot of harm but was never caught."

"We have also discovered many demons from surrounding counties before, so we exchanged wanted information with the surrounding Ghost and God Department and Dingwu Department, and got to know these people."

"He showed up at the Liu family, and here. I'm afraid the Liu family is not hiding a demon. Of course, the details still need further investigation."

However, what Yuan Tong said made a lot of sense. Who would harbor an evil cultivator and hide a poison expert in the kitchen? It's like an old man eating arsenic because he thinks his life is too long.
