Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Interrogation

Dharma Seal Vajra rode forward on the Seventh Grade Golden Lotus, releasing a great radiant Buddha Light, immediately forcing the rolling smoke and dust back into the underground palace.

"Fellow patrons, what has happened?"

"Is the young woman unharmed?"

Bai Xin wiped away the black mist on her face and calmly said, "This woman’s soul has a forbidden curse; it must not be touched."

"She’s fine, but our man is injured."

Dharma Seal Vajra breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Looking down, a young man in white robes lay dying, with a rather severe through-and-through wound on his chest.

He immediately stepped forward to cast a spell, chanting Buddha’s names.

Golden radiance poured into him.

Back when the Sky Demon Emperor was on the brink of death, even he was healed across the Vast Sea by Dharma Seal Vajra with Buddha Light.

Now that I personally take action, how could it not cure the sickness?

The result, however, was unexpected.

The influx of golden radiance flowed out unchanged.

Fixing his gaze, Dharma Seal Vajra saw a wisp of gray-black power entangled in the chest wound, refusing to dissipate.

They kept the Buddha Light completely at bay.

It was precisely the Asura Power that defied the Buddha Law.

"The Buddha Law is ineffective, you’ll have to try using the power of Pills," Dharma Seal Vajra shook his head slightly, helplessly.

Several people from the Qintian Bureau’s expressions changed slightly.

They hurriedly took out their precious Healing Pills and spared no expense trying to save him.

But, to no avail.

The Asura Power was unusually persistent, even the Buddha Light found it hard to penetrate, so how could ordinary Pills’ power suffice?

Watching his rapidly weakening heartbeat, everyone understood.

He was beyond saving.

"Yun Tao!" A middle-aged man with a "Thousand Households Tong Fei" plaque hanging from his waist showed grief.

Yang Yuntao was his subordinate Hundred Households, who had just recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

For this, Yang Yuntao even invited him and several familiar households to celebrate and thank them for their daily care.

In the blink of an eye, it was a life and death farewell.

"Bai Xin! It’s all your fault!"

Tong Fei raised his head, coldly exclaiming, "He wasn’t even on duty today!"

"If you hadn’t asked him to come, how could he have triggered the forbidden curse within that soul?"

A female Hundred Households standing behind Bai Xin retorted angrily, "Lord Tong, your words are laughable."

"It was you who were eager to earn merits, insisting on Yang Yuntao to recklessly use the Soul Secret Technique and forcefully perform a Soul Search, which caused the forbidden curse to trigger!"

"My Lord Bai stopped you, saying this woman’s identity was mysterious and that rashly performing a Soul Search was inadvisable."

"You didn’t listen to the advice and even scolded my Lord for blocking your way to earn merits."

"And now that someone has died, you’re trying to shift the blame onto my Lord?"

Conflict exists everywhere, and the Qintian Bureau is no exception.

Bai Xin waved her hand, stopping her subordinate, saying, "Huang Ying, stop talking."

"As long as we have a clear conscience, the Great Wine Sacrifice will judge fairly."

Huang Ying felt aggrieved.

Every time Bai Xin was targeted, she was like this, always stopping her people from escalating conflicts.

But the Great Wine Sacrifice isn’t a deity; it cannot always discern right from wrong.

Bai Xin had been wronged several times before, yet she still persisted.

As a result, those caught up with her felt suffocated, and many capable ones had left to join others.

If this continues, she won’t be able to take it and would also change allegiance.

Tong Fei snorted heavily, "In any case, you can’t escape responsibility for Yang Yuntao’s death!"

"Wait ’til I report against you!"

"Let’s go!"

"Hold on!"

Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Fan came forward.

Tong Fei’s gaze swept over, seeing that Jiang Fan was a Second-stage Nascent Soul, his expression slightly softened.

"What business do you have, sir?"

Jiang Fan didn’t say much, taking out a single Revitalizing Pill and feeding it to Yang Yuntao.

Turns out he was saving a life.

Tong Fei shook his head, saying, "It’s no use, but thank you for your kindness."

Jiang Fan lifted his hand, placing his palm on Yang Yuntao’s chest, from where Asura Karmic Fire surged.

If there was anything that could restrain the Asura Power even Buddha Law found troublesome.

Without a doubt,𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

It would be the Asura Karmic Fire also from the Hell Realm.

Fight poison with poison!

Indeed!

The stubborn Asura Power instantly evaporated into wisps of black smoke and dissipated under the Asura Karmic Fire.

Without the obstruction of the Asura Power, the various Pills’ effects began to work.

The heart that had almost stopped beating gradually regained vitality.

Tong Fei’s expression changed, showing surprise, "You actually master the power of the Hell Realm?"

"A prodigy! A prodigy indeed!"

He glanced around and said:

"Are you interested in joining my Qintian Bureau? I can grant you the temporary identity of a Sky Watcher."

"As long as you earn merit, I will personally recommend you to the Great Wine Sacrifice someday to become an official Sky Watcher."

Such prodigies may not have many opportunities to be of use.

But it doesn’t cost anything, just a temporary identity will do.

When they’re needed, they can be of great use.

This is a common method many householder use to recruit talents.

The Jiang Fan before him was a person of great potential.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands, expressionless, "Thanks for the householder’s kindness, but I already have temporary Sky Watcher status."

"Please forgive me."

Even without the Sky Watcher status, he wouldn’t want to follow this person.

Reckless in conduct, disregarding the lives of his subordinates, and lacks accountability when things go wrong.

He turned to Bai Xin and smiled, "Subordinate Jiang Fan, greets Bai Qianhu."

Bai Xin was slightly stunned.

She then recalled, "You’re that Jiang Fan from the Continent!"

"You’ve already surpassed tribulation and reached Second-stage?"

"It’s unbelievably fast."

Jiang Fan replied, "Thanks to Bai Qianhu’s great fortune."

Whether it’s the Seven-star Treasure Sword or successfully entering the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road with temporary Sky Watcher status.

He owed Bai Xin quite a bit.

Seeing she was in trouble, Jiang Fan certainly couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

Bai Xin waved her hand, "Your cultivation has nothing to do with me, no need to thank me."

"Besides, you’re not an official Sky Watcher, there’s no need to call yourself a subordinate."

"Also, thank you for your help just now."

She spoke in her usual detached manner.

Always in an official business tone.

Jiang Fan chuckled lightly, "Bai Qianhu, I have some insight in interrogation and intelligence."

"May I give it a try?"

The Qintian Bureau was at a loss, and perhaps Jiang Fan needed to personally see the woman.

When it comes to the Ancient Giant, he couldn’t stay uninvolved.

"You?" Tong Fei’s eyes turned cold, "Are you proficient in the Soul Secret Technique, or what?"

"Even our Qintian Bureau couldn’t do anything, what are you showing off?"

Upon knowing Jiang Fan was Bai Xin’s, Tong Qianhu’s attitude changed faster than flipping a book.

Immediately turned to a rough attitude.

In personal matters, Bai Xin didn’t argue with people.

In business, Bai Xin was swift and decisive, opening the collapsed underground palace entrance with a palm, saying to Jiang Fan:

"Go ahead and try, I’m here."

She didn’t care about Tong Fei’s opposition at all, protecting Jiang Fan as they descended to the underground palace.

Tong Fei was slightly annoyed, "Let’s go, let’s have a look together."

The Great Wine Sacrifice highly valued this woman who fell from the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, promising rewards to him and Bai Xin for this task.

The one who brings back information shall wield one of the three great secret artifacts of the Qintian Bureau, the immobilization bell.

He had long desired this bell, which is why he hurriedly urged Yang Yuntao to perform the Soul Search.

Unexpectedly, it caused trouble.

Now, this person named Jiang Fan, knowing there’s danger, still volunteered to interrogate?

This made him inevitably worried.
