The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Looking at the energetic young man in front of him, whose eyes held a sharp edge, Yao Xiangyang's long-dormant heart finally stirred.

"It seems you're really suited for this path."

"It seems you are really suited for this path of the executioner." Yao Xiangyang pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.

"Sequence 7 criminals are indeed rare, but when we recently cracked down on the followers of the Ghost God, quite a few escaped and are still on the run. If you have the chance, I'll help you capture a Sequence 7 Ghost God follower to help you meet the promotion requirements."

Thank you, teacher!

Lu Yan grinned, his eyes filled with joy.

Although the apprenticeship was initially just a mutually beneficial transaction, Yao Xiangyang's guidance and care over the years have been genuine and heartfelt.

He has already kept this teacher-student relationship in his heart.

"Oh, and the Silver Longbow and the [Arbitrator] potion you requested."

Yao Xiangyang changed the subject, and with a thought, took out a crimson longbow from his private space.

The bow was smooth and glossy, engraved with fine fire patterns, and surrounded by a faint warmth. When it was handed to Lu Yan, even the air seemed to warm up a bit.

[Silver Rare Item - Ember Flame (7-101): Infusing it with Qi and Blood activates the power of flames, condensing fire into arrows!]

Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put the longbow into his hand.

The longbow was warm to the touch, and the high temperature spread rapidly from his fingertips, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable even with his current physical body.

It's easy to imagine how much power this longbow can unleash once activated.

It's a pity the occasion isn't right now, otherwise he would really like to give it a live demonstration.

"I don't know much about your path, but judging from your performance, you seem to be the type who pursues practical experience."

Yao Xiangyang patted Lu Yan on the shoulder and said, "I'll practice with you more when I have time, so we can advance to Sequence 7 as soon as possible!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

Lu Yan expressed his sincere gratitude, as he would never have dared to imagine such a luxurious act as having a Sequence 6 player as his sparring partner in the past.

However, this means that the ultimate warrior should be able to advance to the next level very soon.

"We've been teacher and student for a while, there's no need to be so polite."

Yao Xiangyang paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, there's still an uncertainty at the moment."

Silence fell over the car.

Indeed, it is unclear what the purpose of the early arrival of people from the original shelter was.

He and Yao Qing might have to leave earlier than planned.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan stopped talking and began cultivating on his own.

Seeing this, Yao Xiangyang became even more satisfied with Lu Yan.

He is talented, hardworking, and has gained the approval of the Original Card.

If Lu Yan had been born a few years earlier, his achievements would be no less than his!

The car drove smoothly without a word, eventually coming to a stop in front of a magnificent luxury hotel.

The hotel entrance was bustling with traffic, and everyone coming and going was dressed in fine clothes and looked glamorous.

In contrast, the two people wearing the adjudication department uniforms seemed somewhat out of place.

Strangely, the moment the two people appeared, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries passing by all changed their expressions, their faces all replaced with fawning smiles, and they all took the initiative to step aside and give way, their eyes full of awe.

To be precise, this respect and flattery were entirely directed at Yao Xiangyang.

Lu Yan had been in seclusion cultivating during this period and was unaware of this, but to most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the shelter, Yao Xiangyang was practically no different from the King of Hell.

Especially during this period, Yao Xiangyang, under the pretext of arresting followers of the Ghost God, arrested people everywhere in the shelter with ruthless and merciless methods, causing panic and fear throughout the shelter.

After all, who can say that their bottom is completely clean?

If the speaker hadn't returned in time and intervened to restrain Yao Xiangyang, who knows how long this madman would have continued arresting people.

Yao Xiangyang was already used to this kind of gaze, and seeing that Lu Yan was unmoved, he nodded in satisfaction.

This kid was born to be a member of the adjudication department!

"The original people haven't arrived yet. I'll go find those old guys first. You can wander around as you please, but be careful not to cause too much trouble."

Yao Xiangyang glanced into the distance and whispered a word of advice.

Lu Yan nodded slightly, watching Yao Xiangyang turn and leave. Then he found a quiet corner by the window, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

He didn't dislike such occasions, but he certainly didn't like them either.

Why waste time being so hypocritical? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate yourself more?

"Brother Yan! Brother Yan, you've finally arrived! I've finally found you!"

Before Lu Yan could enter a deep meditation, a slightly hurried yet excited voice abruptly woke him from his meditation.

Lu Yan reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see Chen Ye walking towards him shouting.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be a secret investigator for the adjudication department? Is it really okay to contact him so openly?

"Does the second-in-command need me for something?"

Having his cultivation interrupted, Lu Yan was clearly annoyed.

However, it was obvious that the oblivious Chen Ye didn't notice.

"What are you saying, Brother Yan? Can't I just chat with you if there's nothing wrong?"

Chen Ye smiled and moved closer to Lu Yan, saying, "It's like this, some of Mu Yun's peers want to meet Brother Yan, so they specifically asked me to invite you over for a few drinks."

As he spoke, Chen Ye pointed to a corner not far away, where several young people were looking at each other from a distance.

Before Lu Yan could speak, Chen Ye suddenly lowered his voice and said, "They want to bribe you, Brother Yan, to be Mu Yun's informant. You'd better hold on."

"These people are rich, Brother Yan. You just need to take the benefits and not do anything. Anyway, they won't dare to do anything to you."

As he spoke, Chen Ye secretly winked at Lu Yan, looking like he had come up with a perfect plan for him, his eyes full of self-satisfaction.

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow. The old man was colluding with the evil god, and the young man was siding with the Judgment Department. Mu Yun's future was worrying.

But on second thought, the more chaotic things become for Mu Yun, the better it is for him and the Judgment Department.

Just as Lu Yan was feeling sentimental, a young man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked over.

He handed over a pure gold business card, his demeanor humble: "This must be Lu Yan, the esteemed disciple of Minister Yao? I am Wang Zhe of Muyun, I have long admired your name."

You're too kind.

Lu Yan spoke calmly, took the business card, and gave Mu Yun and the other young masters a new understanding of him.

They're so extravagant with even a business card; they're all easy targets...

"I've heard that Young Master Lu single-handedly killed four high-level followers of the Ghost God; his strength is astonishing."

Wang Zhe's tone was flattering: "Although my Mu Yun has extraordinary individuals, none possess talent like Young Master Lu. I wonder if Young Master Lu would be willing to give them a lesson?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer, his tone resolute, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, I will not let you work in vain. Whatever you need, I can find a way to get it for you."

Lu Yan feigned interest, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Is Young Master Wang serious? You can satisfy any need I have?"

"Of course it counts!" Wang Zhe nodded quickly, his tone firm, a hint of barely perceptible elation flashing in his eyes.

He was originally just trying his luck, after all, Lu Yan was Yao Xiangyang's disciple, and might be a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to reason.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yan actually relented and even offered his own terms.

I'm not afraid of the other party asking for a lot, I'm afraid of the other party refusing to take it!

Once the door is opened, things will be much easier from here on out.

Lu Yan smiled faintly, "Then I won't beat around the bush. I need three different Sequence 8 potions. Can Young Master Wang bring them to me immediately?"

Wang Zhe paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's just a magic potion; Mu Yun has no shortage of that!"

He turned and called over a servant, giving him a few instructions. A moment later, the servant came over carrying an exquisite wooden box.

"These three bottles are Berserker, Windrunner, and Shadow Hunter Sequence 8 potions, as a small gift."

Wang Zhe handed over the wooden box with a fawning smile, "I only ask that Young Master Lu inform me in advance if the adjudication department takes any action in the future."

"Of course." Lu Yan took the wooden box, confirmed that the panel prompts were correct, and then casually put it into the Ghost Realm.

He was overjoyed and without hesitation took it into the Ghost Realm.

Then, to the astonishment of Wang Zhe and Chen Ye, Lu Yan took out a pair of silver handcuffs and cuffed them onto Wang Zhe's hands.

"Young Master Lu! What... what do you mean by this?"

Wang Zhe's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Young Master Lu! What do you mean? You're turning your back on me after taking the benefits?"

"How is that possible?"

Lu Yan's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a loud voice.

"Wang Zhe, you attempted to bribe investigators from the Adjudication Department, endangering the safety of the shelter. I am now formally arresting you in my capacity as an investigator!"

He leaned closer to Wang Zhe and teased in a low voice, "How about it, Young Master Wang? Wasn't my 'advance notification' fast enough?"
