Chapter 1226: Yamen Inspection

"Why are you sending him a message?"

“It adds to the mystery.”

…

Five days later, the secret realm was opened and the bustling Quyi County returned to its former tranquility.

Lu Yang and the other person were too lazy to go to the Siku Secret Realm to watch the excitement. They could see what was happening on the West Mountain from standing in the yard. The thick fog surrounding the West Mountain could not block their view at all.

They saw that the monks were divided into different camps, and it seemed that there were many personal grudges and factional grudges among them. They were very complicated and seemed like they would fight at the slightest disagreement.

However, the monks were relatively rational and restrained, and chose to enter the secret realm before taking action.

Lu Yang and the others couldn't see what was happening inside the secret realm, but it didn't matter, they just wanted to watch the fun.

Anyway, Xishan is not in their area and is not under their jurisdiction.

Two days later, the secret realm ended.

…

"Chase! When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains. We have been fighting for a long time, but I didn't expect that Ji Zhong would reap the fruits!"

"It was clearly you who targeted me first!" Ji Zhong said angrily. He was agile and kept dodging the attacks from behind.

In his arms, he held a ripe spiritual fruit, which was the most important treasure in the Siku Secret Realm. This spiritual fruit matured once every hundred years, and after being consumed by those below the Spirit Transformation Stage, one could be promoted to a small realm.

Qinglong Shengzi and his companions gnashed their teeth. They came to the Siku Secret Realm just for this spiritual fruit! "How dare a casual cultivator compete with us!"

Before the secret realm was opened, no one paid attention to Ji Zhong, a casual cultivator. However, after several cultivators in the God Transformation Stage were defeated one after another, everyone realized that Ji Zhong was the dark horse, or threat, of this secret realm.

The group failed to target Ji Zhong, and instead Ji Zhong seized the opportunity to snatch the spiritual fruit.

Only at this time did someone reveal Ji Zhong's origins. Although Ji Zhong was a casual cultivator, he often had adventures, and his cultivation speed was faster than that of the disciples of the big sects. He also had several experiences of fighting against opponents of higher levels, but Ji Zhong's wins those times were too coincidental, so everyone thought it was just luck.

The people who knew Ji Zhong now realized that Ji Zhong was hiding his abilities before! "We must catch up with him!"

Ji Zhong quickened his pace and headed straight for Zhongshan County after escaping from Xishan.

But when he arrived at the county town under the jurisdiction of Zhongshan County, he realized the problem.

It was late at night and the county town was deserted. He was too conspicuous running around, and anyone following him could easily find him.

"It seems that we can only hide in this county. This should be Quyi County?"

When Ji Zhong reached the corner, he was suddenly bumped by someone. The person seemed to be in a hurry, so he said sorry and left quickly.

Ji Zhong's heart tightened and he quickly checked the spiritual fruit.

"The spiritual fruit is still there. It seems I was worrying too much."

Ji Zhong found a shabby inn. The innkeeper was drowsy and was frightened awake by Ji Zhong.

"Boss, stay at the hotel, remember, no matter who asks, don't tell them I'm here!"

Ji Zhong threw down ten taels of silver, took the key and hid in the room upstairs.

The Holy Son of Azure Dragon and others chased to Quyi County, frowning. After all, they were in the county town, so it would be more troublesome to take action.

"Hiding? Search!"

"Don't let the authorities find us, cover your faces!"

…

"We've been waiting for several nights, but why is there no one around?" Two detectives who couldn't keep up with the times were strolling on the street.

"Forget it. It looks like there won't be any ghosts tonight. Let's continue checking the hotel."

Lu Yang and his partner walked into the shabby hotel. The hotel owner saw the uniforms they were wearing and quickly smiled and asked, "Gentlemen, what are you doing?"

"You should have heard from your colleagues that they are investigating the issue of real-name registration for hotel stays."

This was an order from the county, saying that there were many shady hotels in Zhongshan County where people could stay for money without registering their names, so all county towns were required to investigate and crack down on hotels.

"Bring out today's hotel guest list so we can see if you have registered with your real name as required."

The innkeeper took out the pamphlet and began to sweat coldly on his back.

This is not a black shop, and it has always had a real-name registration system. But just now he was blinded by money and took out ten taels of silver to book a room for a customer without registering.

The guest also said not to tell anyone he was here if asked, as it would not sound like he was a good person.

Lu Yang noticed the subtle change in the innkeeper's expression and looked at him with a half-smile: "Boss, if you tell us directly now, we can just give you a verbal criticism and let it go. But if we really find out something, we will have to suspend business for rectification."

"Tell me, are there any people who fail to register according to the regulations?"

The innkeeper was so frightened that he stammered, "Yes, there is one."

"Where?"

"Room 1."

Lu Yang and the other person came to Room No. 1. There was no light in the room and it seemed that no one lived there.

"Is anyone there? Open the door."

No one responded.

"I'm here to inspect the ward at the government office." Lu Yang emphasized his identity.

No one responded.

Meng Jingzhou became impatient and pushed open the door, grabbing Ji Zhong who was about to escape through the window.

"You didn't register with your real name?"

Ji Zhong was shocked. He didn't want to get into trouble and was ready to escape. How could a constable catch him?

I am a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage!

Meng Jingzhou dragged Ji Zhong back to the room. Lu Yang took out some paper, lit a candle, and took notes on the table.

"Name?"

"Mid-season."

"Show me your identity card."

"Give."

"What kind of cultivation?"

"The early stage of transformation."

"Do you know that it is illegal to register without real name?"

"Know."

"You know this and still do it?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"I was carrying a treasure, and I was chased after I came out of the Four Treasury Secret Realm..."

…

The innkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yang and the other man went upstairs and had no intention of pursuing his responsibility.

Suddenly a strong man led a few people into the hotel.

The innkeeper trembled when he saw the burly man. He had seen him on the street a few days ago. He was the Holy Son of Azure Dragon from the Four Symbols Sect.

The Holy Son of Azure Dragon slammed the table, and his dragon eyes glared at the innkeeper, frightening him.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Did anyone come to stay at your hotel just now and ask not to tell others that he was here?"

The innkeeper was so scared that he dared not speak and could only nod in response.

"It's here, indeed." The Holy Son of Azure Dragon laughed. This bastard Ji Zhong's Qi-gathering technique was really unique. It couldn't be found even with spiritual sense.

"Which room is he in?"

"Room 1."

"Is there anyone else in the room?"

"There should be two more people inside."

The Azure Dragon Saint snorted coldly: "I knew there were accomplices!"

But it doesn’t matter if we have accomplices, they are in numbers.

The Holy Son of Azure Dragon led his followers to the second floor in a menacing manner and kicked open the door of Room No. 1.

"Ji Zhong, I advise you to hand over the things obediently!"

In the room, Ji Zhongzheng was sitting upright and honestly, and two detectives were taking his statement.

This scene was completely beyond the expectations of the Holy Son of Azure Dragon.

In particular, one of the detectives stood up and sneered: "Oh, robbery in front of us?"

Constable Meng flexed his wrists and ankles. He hadn't seen such an arrogant person in a long time.

The Holy Son of Azure Dragon did not want to have anything to do with the government officials and wanted to escape. However, before he could even turn around, he was pinned to the ground and tied up by Constable Meng.

His followers were also tied up.

"It seems that you are telling the truth. You hid in the hotel anonymously to avoid people. Then I won't pursue the responsibility." Lu Yang said.

"Go on, who else is chasing you?" Lu Yang continued to take notes seriously. Now Ji Zhong's identity has become a victim.

"And listen to Hai Zong..."

At this moment, the door was kicked open again, and the person who came in was just as aggressive: "Qinglong, I heard you were here, how can I let you get there first, the spiritual fruit is mine!"

The people who were chasing Ji Zhong noticed something was wrong with the Azure Dragon Saint. He had been in the shabby hotel for so long and hadn't come out yet. Ji Zhong must be here! "He is the senior brother of the Tinghai Sect." Ji Zhong pointed out on the spot, and Lu Yang nodded and took note.

Meng Jingzhou stood up, tied up the eldest senior brother of Tinghai Sect, closed the door and returned to his original position.

"Who else?"

"There is also the Shura Sect's leader's last disciple..."

The door was kicked open again: "Ji Zhong, hand over the spiritual fruit!"

"Is it him?"

"yes."

Soon, the geniuses who came to snatch the spiritual fruits were tied up one by one by Meng Jingzhou, and they filled the entire room.

Meng Jingzhou shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene. With so many robbers, it would take a long time to take statements from each of them.

"Look at the transcript and see if it's all what you said. Tell me if there's anything wrong."

Ji Zhong’s mind is completely confused now. This change really makes him unable to react. How come all the geniuses who were chasing him were caught?

These are all peerless geniuses. They showed their abilities in the Four Secret Realms and were all the favorites to win. However, they were defeated by the detectives! He checked the transcripts dazedly and said dazedly, "No mistakes."

"Then sign at the end of each page, and on the last page write 'I have read the above transcript, and it matches what I said'. Put your fingerprints wherever you write, and also put your seal on the interlace."

"OK."

After signing and pressing his fingerprint, Ji Zhong took out the spiritual fruit from his arms, and his face suddenly changed.

This is a fake spiritual fruit! The spiritual fruit was swapped! It was the person who bumped into him just now! He hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lords, my spiritual fruit is lost. Can I report it to the police?"
