Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

At the foot of Qishan Mountain.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black eagle bodysuit with a knife at his waist followed Li Fu and a group of Taoist priests straight up to Wufeng Temple.

This man was none other than Xue Chen, the head constable of Changping County.

He was nicknamed "Eagle Eye Detective".

He solved all the intricate and complex mysteries in Changping County over the past ten years, and there are even rumors that he can identify the real culprit with a single word.

In fact, he was one of the strongest people in Changping County besides Wufeng Temple, and at least a hundred monsters and evil spirits had died by his blade.

After the group entered Wufeng Temple, Li Fu led Xue Chen to the communal courtyard of the burial ward and urged, "All of you, get out here... Constable Xue from the county has some questions for you, so be sure to answer them without reservation!"

Li Fu urged them on, and Gu Qing and the others hurriedly came out of the dormitory.

When everyone met Xue Chen's cold, eagle-like eyes, they felt a jolt in their hearts and quickly looked away.

Gu Qing was the same.

Li Fu then added a reminder, "If anyone dares to utter a single lie, and it is discovered later, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

"yes!"

"We will definitely tell you everything we know."

Everyone quickly responded.

Upon hearing this, Li Fu nodded in satisfaction and then said to Xue Chen, "Officer Xue, since you were invited by Master Chen, if you find anyone suspicious after questioning them, just take them away. I will not protect them."

"Thank you for your help, Master Duofu."

Xue Chen clasped his hands in greeting, but did not ask any questions immediately. Instead, his gaze swept over the crowd with intense intensity, sending chills down their spines.

Unexpected.

Xue Chen stopped in front of one of them and gave a low shout.

"What do you want to say?"

It's a very simple question.

It didn't resemble the questioning a constable would conduct during an investigation at all.

however.

The person being questioned was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down with a thud.

"Officer Xue, I was momentarily blinded by greed... Please forgive me. Five years ago, my lover from Cuixiang Tower insisted that I go see him again, so I had no choice but to break into the Wang family's house at night and steal the five taels of silver he had buried under the water vat!"

Seeing this, Gu Qing's heart tightened.

What's going on?

With just a simple question, the young Taoist priest actually revealed that he had stolen from Cuixiang Tower when he was young.

Was a spell performed?

But we didn't see the constable making any hand gestures or casting any spells.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in Gu Qing's heart.

He wasn't worried about anyone investigating, since he really hadn't done anything.

However, if the other party possesses an unknown technique that can make you reveal your secrets with just a few words, then there would be a big problem.

It was at this moment that Xue Chen pressed for an answer again.

"Anything else?"

The young Taoist priest knelt on the ground, crying and shaking his head repeatedly.

"That's it, I only did this one bad thing..."

Xue Chen immediately moved to ask another person.

same.

After a question, the man confessed all the wrongdoings he had committed.

Not a single one was left.

Not a single one was hidden.

This made Gu Qing even more nervous.

Seeing this, Li Fu couldn't help but exclaim, "Officer Xue, I never expected your Mind-Questioning Technique to be so highly refined. No wonder Master Chen sought your help immediately after the incident."

Xue Chen responded calmly, "Master Li, you flatter me."

Li Fu didn't care about Xue Chen's coldness.

He was quite curious. It was only a few Daoist boys who had died, so why was Chen Ye in such a hurry and summoned Xue Chen immediately?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the group of young disciples, his gaze inadvertently landing on Gu Qing, but he didn't think much of it.

Upon hearing that it was after the Heart-Questioning Technique, Gu Qing's heart tightened once again.

Although the "Subduing and Controlling Insects" method does not mention the "Questioning the Mind Technique," it is quite famous among the miscellaneous schools and unorthodox sects.

After all, there are many secrets in the unorthodox schools of thought, and this technique is the most feared.

This technique strikes directly at the mind and soul, making it a very special and difficult-to-resist method among orthodox techniques.

At that moment, Xue Chen stood in front of Gu Qing.

Do you have anything to say?

The words fell.

An invisible force surged into my mind.

boom--

Gu Qing was so shaken by the impact that she could barely stand.

What's hidden in my heart will pour out in the next moment.

Daily review!

Corpse-eating insects!

An eight-legged codling worm!

But just as Gu Qing was about to speak, the invisible impact suddenly weakened.

However, it did not disappear.

Instead, they migrated to the corpse-eating worms.

The words that were about to be spoken were abruptly cut off.

We are in perfect harmony!

These four words instantly came to Gu Qing's mind.

The Mind-Questioning Technique impacted his mind, and his mind was connected to the Corpse-Eating Worm.

This Constable Xue's words could make a mortal reveal secrets he had kept hidden for years, but his mind was reinforced by a level-one Corpse-Eating Worm, which could perfectly withstand the mental impact.

"Three years ago, I got lost in the mountains. Luckily, a woodcutter led the way, and I managed to find my way out. Later, I saw that the woodcutter being bullied by a rich young man while selling firewood, so I beat him up in the dark at night... Officer Xue, I was wrong!"

The original owner did indeed do this secretly, but it was because that rich young man was fighting with him for a woman.

Upon hearing this...

Xue Chen frowned.

Li Fu was also quite surprised.

"This kid, his gratitude is truly something he talks about."

Xue Chen asked again, "What do you know about what happened last night?"

"I was asleep last night and knew nothing. I learned about the deaths of Daoist Li Shoutian and my fellow Daoists from Daoist Liu Zaiyan."

Gu Qing spoke truthfully.

Xue Chen asked again, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"have no idea."

Gu Qing shook her head.

Xue Chen asked several more questions, but Gu Qing still couldn't answer any of them.

Seeing this, Xue Chen could only ask others for help.

After all that trouble, no clues were found, but all the Taoist disciples were stripped naked.

Seeing this, Li Fu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, go back to sleep. Gu boy, I'm giving you a few days off to rest well, but don't go home. Just stay in Qishan. Who knows if that thief will come again?"

At this moment, Li Fu looked at Gu Qing with even greater satisfaction than before.

In his view, the Art of Questioning the Mind was a piece of cake to deal with Gu Qing, a mere mortal.

Knowing that Gu Qingzhen was a grateful person, he felt much more at ease.

After all, these days, it's hard to tell what's true and what's false.

"Thank you, Master Li."

Gu Qing raised his hand in a salute, then turned and followed the other Taoist disciples back to the communal sleeping area.

As soon as he left, Li Fu suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Officer Xue, I've done all the work I needed to do. I've helped you, now it's your turn to help me."

Xue Chen frowned and asked, "Help you with what?"

"Master Chen is so concerned about this matter, that thief must be no ordinary person, right?" Li Fu asked directly, which startled the other Taoist priests nearby.

After hesitating for a few moments, Xue Chen said, "I can only tell you that the thief is a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator who defected from Xuanqing Academy. He is quite powerful... Fellow Daoist Li, it would be best if you didn't interfere."

"Deng Hui?"

Li Fu frowned.

Xue Chen asked in surprise, "You actually knew?"

"You don't need to know how I know." Li Fu's brows furrowed even more. "Didn't Deng Hui defect from Xuanqing Academy half a year ago? Instead of fleeing Tianhai County, he dared to come to Changping County to kill people?"
