Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Want You to Beg Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Want You to Beg “What’s going on here?” Director Xu’s face darkened.
“I’ll go and take a look.”
Xun Tianhai’s face set in a grim line as he turned to walk into the mountains.
Jiangli waved at him with a smile and reminded, “Director Xun, if you can’t handle it, you can co and ask for help, and I’ll give you a discount.”
Xun Tianhai paused, turned back to glance at Jiangli, his expression even more sullen, but he didn’t respond and stepped past the caution tape into the mountain.
Before Director Xu could speak, another person following by his side had the presence of mind to ask Jiangli, “Little sister, are you the master ntioned by Master Mu who can control fierce ghosts?”
Jiangli blinked. “What, do you also want to teach a lesson?”
The young man was in plain clothes, likely not a police officer.
Exchanging a glance with Director Xu, he coughed and said with a smile, “We’re not Director Xun; we’re not that inflexible. Whether it’s controlling fierce ghosts or whatever, as long as it can solve the case, we’re open to discussion.”
Jiangli was sowhat surprised. “Then what do you an by asking this?”
The young man: “I was thinking, if you’re the person Master Mu talked about, that is, soone from Xuann, how about we go in and have a look together?”
Fu Shiyan: “I listen to the Abbot.”
Director Xu was taken aback, having never seen Fu Shiyan so compliant before.
But Jiangli declined, “I’m not going. I said I’d wait for him to beg .”
Director Xu was stunned again, “This…”
“I do what I say,” Jiangli interrupted, not one to go back on her word.
Fu Shiyan imdiately agreed, “Then we won’t go.”
Director Xu: “…”
Alright then.
“You two wait here then. I’ll go in and have a look.”
With that, Director Xu turned and walked into the mountains.
Seeing this, Duan Jianchuan asked in a low voice, “Abbot, Brother San, are we really not going in to take a look? What if there’s another casualty?”
“Mu Dayang’s formation isn’t capable of causing any fatalities. Although he’s studied formations, his lack of spiritual energy ans any array in his hands loses much of its efficacy,” Jiangli was not worried at all. “No one’s going to get killed, at worst those people will just suffer a bit, which will serve as a lesson for them.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Jianchuan and Xia Xin exchanged glances. What else could they say?
Jiangli looked towards the dark, dense forest, her eyes shadowed.
Using the faint light from a flashlight, Xun Tianhai and his subordinates quickly walked into the mountains, reaching the site where they had found the remains.
It was halfway up the mountain, beneath a clump of bushes where the other mbers of the Unusual Affairs Managent Office had unearthed a set of remains.
It was the exact location told to them by Master Mu.
But when Xun Tianhai arrived, two of his colleagues had already collapsed, breathing normally but unconscious.
Xun Tianhai crouched down first to check on them, his brow furrowing tightly before looking into the pit at the remains.
It was a severed arm.
Judging by the slenderness of the limb, it was undoubtedly that of a woman.
If Master Mu hadn’t lied, then this body should belong to Lin Yurong.
Master Mu had also told them that he had laid out a Seven-star Soul-locking Array here.
Their team was prepared, but how could they suddenly fall unconscious?
After a careful look around, Xun Tianhai found nothing suspicious.
“Director, what exactly is going on?” asked Xie Shan, the young man who had requested his presence, genuinely unsure of what had happened.
Xun Tianhai couldn’t see through the situation either.
After arriving, they had dealt with the Soul-locking Array; there shouldn’t have been any new issues.
Unless…
Master Mu had played them for fools!
With this thought, Xun Tianhai’s face darkened further as he stood up, about to speak, when he caught sight of Director Xu running over. He imdiately said, “Go ask Mu Dayang, what exactly did he do here?”
