Finally, his gaze fell on a token with the characters “Punishment” engraved on it.
This token was made of a special material, and was vaguely connected to a certain formation in the Criminal Official’s Residence and even the entire Punishment Hall in the Jade God’s Mansion. Maybe this is an identity certificate, or maybe it has another use.
After thinking for a moment, David put away the token and jade slip that recorded the execution, returned the other items to their original places, and returned the hidden compartment to its original state.
After doing all that, he quietly passed through the crippled security cordon, just as he had come, and floated out of the courtyard wall.
Then, they rediscovered the energy conversion gap in the outer barrier and easily escaped the range of the Criminal Officer’s Residence.
From start to finish, Jade Immortal Palace’s layers of defense were completely ineffective.
……
When David reappeared at the bamboo forest hermitage where Lianxing and the others were, only half an hour had passed since he left.
Inside the hermitage, Lianxing, Mingli, Brother Leopard, and the anxiously waiting monkey were all present.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, and everyone was speculating about the outcome of David’s trip.
Seeing David return unscathed, without a single drop of blood on his body, and with a still calm expression, Lianxing and the others were first stunned, then surprise and doubt emerged in their hearts.
“Senior, you…” Lianxing started hesitantly.
David didn’t say much, but just placed the black “punishment” token and the jade slip containing the note on the bamboo table.
After seeing the token, Brother Leopard was shocked: “This is the exclusive identity token of an executioner in the Execution Hall! Only senior executioners like Tu Gang and Tu Meng have it!”
Lianxing quickly took the jade scroll and probed it with his divine sense.
A moment later, his expression changed, and he looked at David, his eyes filled with surprise: “This… this is Tu Meng’s execution record? Senior, you”
“Tu Gang is dead, in the alley outside Zuixianlou.”
David’s voice was calm and even, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, “Tu Meng is also dead, at his residence in the Criminal Inspector’s Office.”
explosion!
Despite having a hunch, everyone in the academy, including Ming Li, felt goosebumps and racing hearts when they heard David casually mention these two pieces of news!
Kill them!
They really killed it!
And all this happened in a very short time!
It was a different story outside the Drunken God Pavilion, but the Executioner’s Residence was inside the City Lord’s Mansion!
The defense was very tight, and the formations used were very diverse!
How did he get in?
How do you find that person?
How was he killed?
How come out?
Lianxing, in particular, was well aware of the level of security within the Jade God Palace.
Even if he used all his secret agents and planned meticulously to take out a senior executioner like Tu Meng secretly in the executioner’s room, it would be an almost impossible task.
That would definitely incur huge costs, and it would be difficult to avoid the guards’ suspicions.
Yet this Senior Chen before us, alone, made a round trip in less than an hour, not only eliminating two people but also bringing back important evidence, and he looked as relaxed as if he had just taken a walk!
The monkey’s legs went limp, and it looked at David with eyes that seemed to be looking at a god, but filled with boundless fear.
Only then did he truly realize how terrifying the creature he brought with him was.
Even though Ming Li had some idea of David’s strength, he was still shaken to the bottom of his heart at this moment.
He realized that he might have underestimated his master.
This method of penetrating deep into enemy territory, beheading targets precisely, and moving freely had surpassed the realm of ordinary combat; it was more like an art, the calmness displayed after fully mastering the power.
“S-Senior Kamui!”
Brother Leopard’s voice was hoarse, and he bowed respectfully.
Lianxing took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and carefully put the jade scroll away.
Then, solemnly, he said, “Senior’s cultivation is profound and your methods are unfathomable. Lianxing admires you greatly. With this item as evidence, the injustice done to Senior Mu Sha and his wife becomes even more undeniable. However”
His face showed concern. “The sudden deaths of the Tu brothers will not be easily forgiven by the Jade God Palace, especially Fei Qing, who is Yu Wuji’s supervising official and confidant. He will definitely investigate thoroughly. We need to make plans as soon as possible.”
