I had just finished talking to Hui when the call for collection of folk songs started coming again.
He Jue shuddered with fear
"Again? Is this ever going to end?!"
When He Jue flew to the destination, he saw that Li Feng had knocked another person unconscious and left him there.
"Why are you so slow? Come quickly and identify it."
"He Jue, you are so brave that you actually framed our Jiang family members. You are so brave." An old man standing next to Li Feng saw He Jue coming and shouted
He Jue was a man of honor, and being publicly disrespected irritated. With a cold snort, he immediately used the Heart Demon Mirror. Sure enough, it was another cultivator. He Lin swiftly killed another cultivator, glanced at the number seven on the Heart Demon Mirror, and then calmly left.
The Jiang elder's face turned pale, and he pointed at He Lin and He Jue who were leaving and said angrily
"You guys, well done, Lingcheng He family, I'll remember this." After saying that, he left. He didn't even bother to collect the body.
Demon cultivators were not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb. If a child of a wealthy family was discovered to be a demon cultivator, it was equivalent to being excised from the family tree. The Jiang elders ignored this person, but naturally someone else took care of these unidentified bodies.
He Jue, however, felt as if everything had turned upside down. The position of folk song envoy, which he had once been so proud of, now seemed like a hot potato.
At this moment, the collection order began to be called again.
He Jue went even slower this time. When he arrived at his destination, he saw an inspector there. He Jue was furious. He had never seen such an unruly person. He had reported such a small matter to the Inspection Office.
Moreover, the Inspection Office and the Caifeng Hall are sworn enemies. Under normal circumstances, there is no intersection between the two sides. However, if the Demon Exorcist reports to his partner in the Inspection Office, the Caifeng Hall will fall into the hands of the Inspection Office.
He Jue thought, Li Feng is a staunch enemy faction, so he is naturally an ally of the Inspection Office. Why did I only realize this now?
The inspector asked in an impartial manner
"Xin Jiu Feng Cai Envoy and Xin Jiu Demon Exorcist responded that you deliberately delayed, nearly causing an unnecessary conflict and allowing the demon cultivator to escape. Do you have any explanation?"
"Hmph, two birds with one stone." He Jue turned away and ignored these two annoying guys.
The patriarch of the Wang family arrived. He was only familiar with He Jue among the three people, and threatened He Jue
"He Jue, release Song'er immediately, or our Wang family will not let this go."
He Jue was angry and snorted coldly without saying a word.
The inspector shouted
"The Wang family dares to threaten the three envoys. Do you want your entire clan to be exterminated?"
The patriarch of the Wang family frowned and said
"Inspector, you arrested a direct descendant of my Wang family without any reason. This cannot be considered a threat, it is just a reasonable argument."
When the four major sword sects established the three envoy system, in order to strengthen the authority of the three envoys, they deliberately killed a chicken to scare the monkey, and used the extermination of dozens of aristocratic families to warn these aristocratic families.
After so many years, it still has a strong deterrent effect, especially for the Inspectors.
Unlike the permanent envoys, the Collecting Folklore Envoy and the Demon Exorcist Envoy, the Inspectors would leave the city every year or two, so there was no need for them to show respect to the wealthy and powerful families. Furthermore, the Inspectors had always been members of the nobility or ordinary people, so there was no need to show respect to them given the hostile relationship.
Instead, the permanent information collectors and demon slayers gradually compromised with the aristocratic families in order to obtain intelligence and eliminate demons without hindrance. Because of their permanent status, a set of unspoken rules was formed.
However, Herlin followed the explicit rules, which made the wealthy families and the envoys who were used to the implicit rules feel that Herlin had no rules, but they could not react in this way because Herlin followed the explicit rules completely. There was no way to deal with him within the system.
The inspector said to He Jue in a cold voice
"Hurry up and identify it! This is your job. Why don't you want to do it anymore?"
He Jue had been on the verge of exploding for a long time. Under the pressure of the inspector and the hostility of the Wang family, he completely exploded.
"I've had enough of this cowardice and I really don't want to do this anymore."
As he said that, he threw the Caifeng Order and the Heart Demon Mirror on the ground and left.
The inspector looked at He Jue coldly, without saying anything to persuade him to stay. He picked up the Caifeng Order and the Heart Demon Mirror on the ground, and used the inspection order to unbind the two.
"Now the envoy has resigned without reason, and I am here to temporarily take over her position."
The Demon Heart Mirror shines a light, and the demonic energy surges from the unconscious young man on the ground.
"It's indeed a demon cub. Chief Wang, what's the matter? Do you have anything else to say? Do you want to protect the demon cultivator?"
Clan leader Wang was in disbelief when he saw that his beloved son turned out to be a demon cultivator. The elders stepped forward and pulled the clan leader into the clan. One elder stepped forward to apologize and then left. It seemed that Clan leader Wang had reached the end of his rope.
At this time, no one cared about the direct descendant of the Wang family on the ground.
He Lin smiled and raised his sword, killing another demon cultivator and gaining seven merit points.
"Would you like to join us?" He Lin invited
"It's my great honor." The inspector replied with a smile.
The two began their journey to gain merit points.
After collecting 70 points of merit before nightfall, the inspector finally asked the question in his heart.
"Li Feng, how do you identify a demon cultivator?"
"Talent." He Lin was reluctant to say more. Then he left Bishui City and went to the Sea Dragon Islands to exchange items.
After He Lin left, the inspector first reported the specific situation to the Inspection Office.
After changing his identity, he arrived at a place and met a man. This man was the chief of the Qingshui City Caifeng Hall. The inspector detailed the intelligence he had obtained to the chief.
This inspector turned out to be the chief intelligence officer's informant. For an intelligence officer, specifically responsible for gathering intelligence, to achieve this level of success was truly remarkable.
After hearing the other party's intelligence, the inspector left. A servant came in. The chief collector closed his eyes and muttered to himself:
"Talent? What a terrifying talent! If the demon cultivators knew about this, they would be unable to sleep or eat."
The servant bowed and took the order. At this moment, there was no one around. The chief envoy opened his eyes and sighed.
"Liu Qiang, I didn't expect your judgment to be so accurate! An anomaly? Then eliminate this anomaly!"
The way the Chief Information Officer spoke of Liu Qiang was completely different from how he did in public. Unlike the last time he was dismissive of Liu Qiang in the meeting room, he actually took him very seriously.
It may not be a coincidence that Yuan Feng joined Liu Qiang's class, but it was arranged by this person.
After exchanging items from the Sea Dragon Islands, He Lin returned to Tongfu Inn and called Li Yan.
"There may be danger in the next few days. You should find a way to avoid it. I may not be able to take care of you when the time comes."
After Li Yan went down, He Lin sneered
"Are you playing a double game? With such strong malice, you're still trying to trick me into believing it? It just so happens that I recently advanced to Sword Master and need to fight to hone my swordsmanship. However, to be on the safe side, I still need to make some preparations..."
