Chapter 1 The Woman Who Won't Listen to Advice
Boom——

A thick, powerful bolt of lightning ripped through the thick clouds with an arrogant force, making the sky tremble.

In an instant, a cool, hot rain poured down.

Rainwater seeped down through cracks in the roof of the cave, leaving behind streaks of silvery water.

Hearing the rumbling thunder outside, Tang Jinxian breathed slightly heavily.

He gripped the knife even tighter.

Her usually graceful and alluring figure was now as taut as a piece of warm jade.

"Are they all dead..."

The woman's eyes darkened as her gaze swept over the several corpses around her.

Among these corpses, two were members of the Yancheng Patrol Office, her trusted subordinates.

The rest were constables sent by the county government to assist in the case.

I thought it was just a small case, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

This made Tang Jinxian feel very guilty and annoyed.

In the past two months, several women have gone missing in Yancheng. When their bodies were found, they had all suffered inhuman abuse and humiliation.

After a thorough investigation, the patrol office determined that this was a case of spiritual disaster.

What is a spiritual disaster?

More than two hundred years ago, some strange things appeared in this world, seemingly from another world. Initially called "strange things," they gradually became known as "spiritual things."

They are neither demons nor monsters, yet they possess the power to slaughter living beings.

Once exploited, it can cause disaster.

There was even a small country, too weak and powerless to cope with the spiritual disaster. In just a few months, the entire nation was wiped out, corpses littered the fields, and the land was turned into a living hell.

To this end, the Great Qian Dynasty established a special office called the Patrol Office, which was dedicated to investigating and suppressing spiritual disasters.

Right now, Tang Jinxian is investigating a case of spiritual disaster.

In this case of spiritual disaster, the missing or dead women all share a common characteristic.

Age between thirty and thirty-five.

Wide hips and large breasts.

They were all wearing white on the day they went missing.

She was still a widow.

The investigation has made little progress.

Tang Jinxian, as the newly appointed head of the Yancheng Patrol Office, was parachuted in from the capital and had no local experience, which made it difficult for her to win over the people.

The subordinates appeared respectful, but in reality, many were resentful.

They even secretly sabotage and slack off.

To establish her authority and stop the tragedy from happening again as soon as possible, she took over the case and decided to personally act as bait to lure the perpetrators out.

Because she herself also fits the characteristics of the murderer's target.

Sure enough, the other party took the bait.

However, during the pursuit, the group encountered a collapse and explosion as soon as they entered the cave.

They had clearly fallen into an ambush.

If it weren't for the amulet given to her by her mother-in-law, she would probably have already died and gone to the underworld to reunite with her husband who died at the banquet on their wedding day.

"The operation was classified, known only to a few people within the Patrol Division, yet the murderer laid an ambush beforehand... and the explosion was clearly caused by a 'heaven-shattering bomb' specially equipped by the military and the Patrol Division..."

Tang Jinxian tried to calm herself down, but a terrifying thought came to her mind: "Could the mastermind behind this spiritual disaster be someone from the Patrol Office?"

With this thought in mind, and considering the lack of progress in the case, the woman felt a chill run down her spine.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, trying to find a way out.

Beneath the cloth shirt, the front of his large shirt heaved violently with each breath.

It seemed as if it would break free of its restraints at any moment.

Just then, a pile of rubble beside them suddenly began to rustle.

Tang Jinxian suddenly turned around and held her sword horizontally in front of her.

To their astonishment, a "corpse" slowly sat up.

"Mu Jiang?"

Upon seeing the man's face clearly, Tang Jinxian was very surprised and suspicious.

This guy is still alive?

The reason she remembered the name of the lowly clerk was because her subordinates had reported that one of the people sent by the county government to assist was an idiot.

She was immediately dissatisfied.

It's one thing if the officials in the patrol office aren't cooperating and can't spare the manpower. But for a county government to send an idiot to deal with this is unacceptable.

However, due to the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to make do with what she had.

Secondly, the name reminded her of a palace secret from ten years ago.

At that time, the Western Moon Kingdom offered its princess as a marriage alliance with the Great Qian Kingdom.

The young Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was captivated by the princess's stunning beauty and bestowed upon her the title of Consort.

Unexpectedly, this fourteen-year-old princess contracted a strange illness. Women could touch her without any problems, but if a man got too close, he would suddenly suffer from a severe headache.

The new emperor summoned numerous renowned physicians, but none could solve the problem.

They also suspected it was caused by a spirit, but no results were found during the investigation.

Later, the imperial advisor, through divination, told the emperor that this woman had another destined husband, and only he could be with her. He could either abandon the princess or kill her destined husband.

The emperor simply smiled and didn't take it seriously.

He also stated that it is wrong to indiscriminately kill innocent people because of a ridiculous divination; only a foolish ruler would do that.

He also declared domineeringly, "Throughout the four seas and nine provinces, all beautiful women are my beauties. I wish to bestow my favor upon them; this is the mandate of Heaven. Who dares to harbor such delusions, and who would dare to contend with the Son of Heaven?"

Three months later, an assassination attempt suddenly occurred in the palace.

The assassin arrogantly left his name before leaving.

The emperor was furious and secretly dispatched patrols to conduct a large-scale search, reportedly killing many people with the same name. That name was "Jiang Mu".

The name is exactly the opposite of the name of the fool in front of me.

……

Jiang Mu woke up groggily.

Looking around, I found myself lying in a pile of rubble. It was dark all around, with only a few slivers of light mixed with raindrops seeping in through the gaps above my head.

Not far away, a stunningly beautiful woman was staring intently at him.

"Where am I?"

Jiang Mu rubbed his temples, trying hard to recall.

The memory, however, seemed to be wrapped in a dark lace, indistinct and unclear, with only a few faint, wavy traces showing.

He only remembered that his name was Jiang Mu.

He was once an ordinary food deliveryman who unexpectedly transmigrated to a strange cultivation world called "Xuanming," where he became an apprentice, cultivated, and even got married.

Later, a terrible catastrophe struck that world.

All living beings perished, turning the place into a hellish landscape, and neither he nor his wife escaped its clutches.

But how did he die?

What exactly happened?
Many of his memories of the Xuanming World seemed to be swallowed by a thick fog, making them blurry and difficult to find.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice suddenly called out: "Mu Jiang, how are your injuries? Can you move?"

Who is Mu Jiang?

Are you calling me?

Jiang Mu snapped out of his daze and carefully examined the other person.

The woman wore a plain white silk dress, which was stained with wet mud. Her slender waist was tightly bound by the dress belt, making her ample bosom even more stunning, and her figure was extremely mature and beautiful.

That figure is really nice.

She looks like she's destined to be a widow.

He was about to ask who the other person was when his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his gaze to the side.

Tang Jinxian followed his gaze.

To their astonishment, they saw a string of tassels lying on the ground not far away.

The tassels are made of agate and chalcedony strung together, with a faint shimmering effect on the surface, making them exceptionally beautiful.

"It's a spirit?!"

Tang Jinxian was first startled, then overjoyed.

This spiritual disaster was triggered by this very object.

This item possesses a strange and bewitching power.

The mastermind used it to first remotely control the victim's mind, and then kidnap and torture the victim.

Previously, Tang Jinxian acted as bait, and it was precisely because she sensed its fluctuations that she chased it all the way here.

"It seems that after the cave collapsed, the murderer failed to retrieve this magical object in time."

"This is the best opportunity to detain it."

“The spirit and the mastermind are bound together. As long as we successfully apprehend the spirit, we can use the ‘Compass’ of the Patrol Office to track down the murderer.”

"At that time, no matter how well the murderer is hidden, he will be found."

Thinking of this, Tang Jinxian's eyes gleamed, and she immediately took out a spirit-suppressing talisman and walked over.

She wears a "purifying jade" and is not afraid of being bewitched.

At this moment, Jiang Mu stared intently at the string of glowing tassels, finding them increasingly familiar.

The blocked memories surged wildly, bringing waves of throbbing pain.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and some fragments of memory appeared in his mind.

"Don't go there!"

Jiang Mu suddenly let out a low shout.

Tang Jinxian was startled by the sudden sound.

The heavy object trembled violently, and the outline beneath the fabric rippled.

The woman turned her head and stared at him blankly.

Jiang Mu said in a deep voice, "That is a spiritual treasure of the Seven Treasures Joyful Sect, called the 'Female Taming Circle'. It can bewitch people's minds, and ordinary magic artifacts and talismans are simply unable to resist it."

Jiang Mu tried to get up, but his body was limp and powerless.

What are seven treasures and eight treasures?
What is a female taming ring?

Tang Jinxian was completely confused.

However, remembering that the other person was just an idiot and probably talking nonsense, she didn't pay any attention and continued forward.

Jiang Mu was exasperated by how stubborn this big-butt woman was.

He kindly reminded him again:

"Believe me, once you're fooled by it, the memory that follows will haunt you for the rest of your life."

Tang Jinxian looked at the man's handsome face and hesitated again.

But the next moment, her eyes hardened.

Do you think I'd believe a fool?
Am I sick?

"I have this to protect me." Tang Jinxian patted a white jade pendant at her waist and said coldly, "That spiritual object can't bewitch me at all."

Having said that, he stepped forward.
