Chapter 177 Can't even handle this simple matter?
Inside a side hall of the Biyun Sect.
Ji Jing walked to the broken array on the ground and examined it carefully.
Qu Xiang was a cultivator who knew nothing about formations or talismans, so he could only stand aside and watch silently.
After a long while, he finally couldn't help but lean closer and ask.
"How is it?"
Suddenly, he felt his soul being torn apart by an inexplicable force.
Startled, he quickly took two steps back, and only then did the inexplicable force disappear from his body.
"Are you out of your mind? Daring to step on the soul-controlling array?"
Ji Jing glanced at Qu Xiang.
"Soul Control Array? What is that?"
Qu Xiang stared at the broken formation on the ground with great curiosity. There was a footprint left on the edge of the formation, which was obviously the place he had stepped on just now.
"This thing is so broken, how can it still be useful?"
"Of course it's useful, otherwise why do you think your soul was shaken just now?"
Ji Jing rolled his eyes at Qu Xiang, as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Only a part of the formation has been destroyed; its most basic components are still functioning."
"A formation that destroys the soul... Chu Luobai must have guessed we would come, and that's why he deliberately left it behind."
Ji Jing sighed deeply, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If we continue to investigate, it will raise questions about the entire Biyun Sect.
The Biyun Sect has powerful backers within the Immortal Alliance. If these two continue their investigation like this, it will definitely not end well.
But if they leave in such a hurry today, what will happen to Chu Luobai and Gu Lin...?
For a moment, Ji Jing felt overwhelmed and exhausted.
"A formation that destroys the soul—how dare the Biyun Sect openly pull off such a thing?"
Qu Xiang squatted down beside Ji Jing and also let out a long sigh.
Both of them looked extremely grim. They squatted together for a long time, unable to come up with a suitable solution.
Outside the side hall.
Yue Qianshuang finally recovered completely, and when she looked at Chu Luobai, her face was full of gratitude and worry.
"Senior Sister Chu, I have already done enough for you today."
"If the Immortal Alliance wants to take me away, then let them take me away."
"Anyway, I have nothing to hide, and the Immortal Alliance can't just pin a baseless charge on me, can they?"
Yue Qianshuang spoke frankly, but Chu Luobai could sense that her hands, hidden beneath her Taoist robe, were trembling slightly.
The pain of the soul-controlling array tearing apart the soul is not so easily erased.
Looking back on what Chu Luobai experienced in her previous life, she still feels a bit scared.
Despite the chaos, Yue Qianshuang was still able to step forward and decide to take on everything herself...
Chu Luobai reached out and patted Yue Qianshuang's shoulder.
“Since you have committed no crime, you should not go to the Immortal Alliance.”
"I believe the Enforcement Masters of the Immortal Alliance understand the meaning of 'upholding the law impartially.' Fellow Daoist Gu, don't you agree?"
Seeing Chu Luobai look up, Yue Qianshuang followed his gaze with a somewhat bewildered expression.
What does the matter of the law enforcement officer have to do with Gu Lin?
"Enforcement officers are supposed to enforce the law impartially. I suppose they should have found out the truth by now. I'll go take a look."
Gu Lin originally didn't intend to help, since he didn't want to have anything to do with the Immortal Alliance anymore.
But when he met Chu Luobai's gaze, he couldn't help but want to do him a favor.
After all, given Chu Luobai's strength, there aren't many opportunities for him to do favors.
"Senior Brother Gu Lin has connections with the Enforcer?"
Yue Qianshuang watched Gu Lin's departing figure and asked with some curiosity.
"Once your cultivation level increases, you will find that the entire Qingzhou Realm is intricately connected with you."
Chu Luobai said calmly, taking out a few recovery pills and handing them to Yue Qianshuang.
"Take a break first. Once this is over, where are you planning to go?"
If Yue Qianshuang is left in the Biyun Sect, it is highly likely that she will continue to attract Fu Cheng'an's covetousness.
Having finally rescued the person, Chu Luobai had no intention of handing them over to Fu Cheng'an for nothing.
Hearing this question, Yue Qianshuang pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"I still want to stay in the Biyun Sect."
...............................................................
In the side hall.
Qu Xiang and Ji Jing, who were squatting at the edge of the formation, still looked worried.
They thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.
If we ignore this matter, the Immortal Alliance will definitely find fault with us, especially the Azure Cloud Sect.
If we were to intervene, given their current cultivation levels...
It's simply impossible to manage.
"Sigh, why did we have to be the ones to suffer this misfortune?"
Qu Xiang sighed deeply, his eyebrows drooping, his face full of bitterness.
"Since we arrived at this law enforcement post, haven't we encountered enough bad luck?"
Ji Jing curled his lip. These law enforcement officers, to put it nicely, were acting on behalf of the Immortal Alliance.
To put it bluntly, this is a dog that the Immortal Alliance specially bred by spending resources.
When they are useful, we release them to bite people.
When they're no longer needed, they can be pushed out to shield one from a knife.
"Ugh!"
Qu Xiang was naturally aware of the intricacies involved, but at this moment, all he could do was try to extricate himself from the situation.
dong dong.
Just as the two were deep in thought, a knock came from outside the side hall.
The two instinctively turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
Both of them were surprised to see Gu Lin standing outside the dilapidated window.
They didn't even notice that Gu Lin was so close.
They are both at the Dao Integration Realm...
"Gentlemen, I feel that this matter has exceeded your control."
“Since the Biyun Sect is suspected of colluding with demonic cultivators, such a large sect should not be under the responsibility of only the two of you law enforcement officers.”
“I remember there should be another law enforcement officer around here?”
Gu Lin hinted, and Qu Xiang and Ji Jing exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.
Why didn't they think of this method earlier!
Logically speaking, this area is not within their jurisdiction.
They only came here because a senior colleague 'asked' them.
Now that such a big thing has happened, it's really not appropriate for the two newcomers to continue.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Gu."
Ji Jing quickly stood up and bowed to Gu Lin.
"There's nothing to thank me for; I was just doing my job for the Immortal Alliance."
Gu Lin waved his hand, thinking to himself that these two had finally made progress after serving as law enforcement officers for so long.
At least, they can understand their own hints.
After thanking Gu Lin, Ji Jing and Qu Xiang both subconsciously glanced outside.
After confirming that Chu Luobai, who was in the distance, had no objection to their conversation, he took out a talisman from his storage ring.
The moment the spiritual energy was injected, the talisman quickly rose into the air and exploded violently.
A unique wave of spiritual energy rippled outwards.
In the distance, a man wearing an enforcement token couldn't help but frown as he sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy.
"How come these two can't even handle something this simple?"
