The leader had a cold and stern face and a young appearance. The men around him were dressed in uniform black clothes with strange patterns embroidered on them and held various weapons.
Each of them was at the Condensation Realm, and the leader of them surprised Li Ming even more.
【Name: Bai Zhan】
[Realm Level: Sixth Grade Golden Core, Fourth Level]
[Entries: Sword Maniac (Blue), Martial Spirit (Blue), Ruthless Killer (White), Fierce and Resolute (White), Selfless and Impartial (White), Powerful and Awesome (White)]
Martial Arts Master!
Sixth-grade Golden Elixir.
As for their identities, it's obvious.
The Celestial Patrol Division.
Then Lin Qiancheng immediately spoke up:
“Disciple, this is Bai Zhan, the patrol envoy who has just arrived in Cangyang County.”
These are also experts from the Sky Patrol Division.
"They were a great help this time, stopping the magistrate's men."
Li Ming quickly cupped his hands in greeting:
"Thanks to the brothers from the Sky Patrol Division for their help."
The Sky Patrol Division is even more unscrupulous than the Six Doors. Raiding and annihilating families is commonplace for them, and they are full of elite martial artists.
The entry threshold is the Condensation Realm, and only experts of the same realm can join.
As a direct agency of the Great Xuan Emperor, its headquarters are located in Xuandu City, with the purpose of handling major cases spanning several states and investigating demonic organizations.
As far as Li Ming knew, the Qingmo Society's influence was spread across several states. Often, the Sky Patrol Bureau had to send out special envoys to investigate, with the assistance of the Six Doors in various regions.
Both sides deserve credit.
Therefore, the relationship between the Six Doors and the Sky Patrol Bureau is one of both competition and cooperation.
Sometimes conflicts may arise due to interests, but more often they cooperate sincerely.
After all, these demonic organizations are a real menace. If we sit idly by and let things get out of control, neither the Six Doors nor the Sky Patrol Division can escape responsibility.
Bai Zhan also spoke directly: "We came here this time to investigate the Qingmo Society branch hidden in Cangzhou. We have witnessed Brother Li's strength."
"If you weren't Chief Constable Lin's apprentice, I sincerely hope that Brother Li could join our Sky Patrol Division."
Lin Qiancheng snorted coldly:
"My Six Doors is no less powerful than your Sky Patrol Division. You, surnamed Bai, don't even think about making a move on my disciple!"
Bai Zhan laughed heartily:
"Don't worry about it. We're all doing things for Da Xuan, so why care where we're doing them?"
Then, in a serious tone, he said:
"We have come here to investigate the thieves of the Green Demon Society, and we hope to cooperate more with Officer Li."
"I wonder what Officer Li's attitude is towards this sorcerer from the Green Demon Society?"
They had been chasing the Qingmo Society thieves, but when they reached Cangyang County, they vanished without a trace. Their original plan had failed, and the group was seething with anger.
Bai Zhan had previously collaborated with Lin Qiancheng. This time, he accidentally learned that the Zhao family was colluding with the Qingmo Society, so he naturally didn't want to let go of this clue.
"Of course, we must exterminate them all!"
A murderous glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes.
He had read many files, which recorded many of the evil deeds of the Green Demon Society.
They often took in children and beggars.
Then they mutilated their limbs, gouged out their eyes and cut off their tongues, took their organs, and drained their blood in order to refine the human blood elixir. If any of them survived, they would be sold to human traffickers to beg for money.
The more talented one is, the better price they can fetch from the Green Demon Society.
If a person acts like this, they are worse than a beast!
Hearing such a resolute answer, Bai Zhan nodded, his eyes filled with even greater satisfaction.
Li Ming pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"However, this information is only a deduction, and its authenticity is unknown."
"Please feel free to speak."
"If the deduction is correct, it may be in Cangyang County, not far from Qingshi City, at Baiyun Temple."
"Baiyun Temple?"
Bai Zhan frowned slightly.
Having come to Cangyang County, he naturally had some understanding of the forces he belonged to. Although Buddhism was extremely popular in Nanyun Kingdom, it was not so prevalent in Daxuan.
Therefore, I had heard of Baiyun Temple. I knew that it was a rare force with a grandmaster-level expert in charge, and that it had always been very peaceful and had never caused any trouble.
What's the basis for this?
If Li Ming hadn't told him all this, he would have thought that the other party was using him as a tool to kill someone else.
"This matter needs to be deduced from some of the Zhao family's testimonies and some clues in their correspondence."
Li Ming took on this matter after making preparations.
Even if no one from the Sky Patrol Bureau came, he would still go and investigate personally.
First, let's talk about the Zhao family. Among the many people questioned, there was a common point: the other party was always covered up, especially the head.
Secondly, there is the location. Although the places of handover are different, they all radiate around Baiyun Temple, forming a closed loop.
Most importantly, he discovered a crucial piece of information: many of the martial artists who went to Baiyun Temple to offer incense had disappeared.
I also learned by chance that the abbot of Baiyun Temple had been in seclusion for many years, and the current manager was an abbot from out of town.
The truly wise hide in plain sight. In his view, Baiyun Temple had probably already fallen victim to the Qingmo Society and was now just a cover for their true intentions.
Who would have thought that such a bright and magnificent Buddhist temple would harbor so many demons and monsters?
He was fifty percent certain that something strange was going on inside Baiyun Temple; it might very well be the headquarters of a branch of the Qingmo Society.
But they need evidence, otherwise they can't arrest people or file a case.
After all, the Buddhist forces wield considerable influence in this area.
Moreover, Baiyun Temple's ability to take root in Daxuan is no small matter.
The older generation of abbots were monks who came from the Kingdom of Nanyun to spread the Dharma. Their cultivation was unfathomable, and their Buddhist teachings were exceptional.
His reputation has been excellent ever since, and taking action rashly might provoke public outrage.
After listening, Bai Zhan's gaze flickered, moving up and down Li Ming's body, revealing a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
This idea is indeed novel, but it is not far-fetched; rather, it is about discovering a blind spot in the investigation.
They hadn't thought of this before, assuming that the Green Demon would be hiding in some remote underground force.
Bai Zhan nodded and said, "Just as you said, Baiyun Temple is indeed full of suspicious points."
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
"However, Baiyun Temple is no small matter, and we cannot judge them based on mere speculation."
Li Ming said frankly, "Now that things have come to this, we need to act decisively and not let them sense the danger and run away."
"The fact that the Azure Demon Society has been able to survive for so many years means that their spies are intricately interwoven and spread throughout Cangyang County."
"I will go there myself and investigate Baiyun Temple."
"Even if Baiyun Temple is really that evil sect's lair, I am confident that I can escape."
Li Ming clenched his fists, his cold, sharp eyes shining like stars.
The Green Demon Society, a cult of evil, is naturally a target of everyone's wrath.
Li Ming felt perfectly justified in using them to earn life energy.
The reason for personally taking charge was partly to get the matter done as quickly as possible.
On the other hand...
These patrolling angels have probably already revealed their identities, so if they go to Baiyun Temple, they probably won't find anything at all.
The other party will definitely be on high alert and may even withdraw in advance.
He was confident in his own strength and believed that even if he encountered a grandmaster-level expert by accident, he would still be able to fight them, and at worst, escaping would not be a problem.
Hearing Li Ming volunteer for the mission.
Lin Qiancheng, sitting opposite him, looked solemn, but finally nodded slowly.
"Let Lin Ping go with you; he should go out for a walk."
Li Ming looked at Lin Qiancheng in surprise, but seeing that the other party was determined, he did not try to persuade him.
After all, this time they weren't going to raid their door; they were just secretly investigating.
Be careful, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Bai Zhan, naturally aware of the implications, spoke solemnly:
"Notify us immediately if anything is found."
After speaking, he silently bowed.
To be able to put oneself in danger for the greater good of one's beliefs—such courage and chivalry!
This young constable deserves his approval.
"Alright, I'll set off tomorrow. I'll make some preparations today."
Li Ming was unaware of Bai Zhan's thoughts.
He was so enthusiastic about eradicating the Green Demon Society.
Half of it is for the sake of life.
Half of it was to accumulate merits and then advance further.
Of course, some of it was for the sake of clear thinking and to let the wronged rest in peace.
It's actually hard to explain clearly.
He was ultimately not a person of this world.
It's difficult to turn a blind eye to many things.
