What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

However, these gossips had nothing to do with the three who had left. At that moment, the police officers were leading Zhong Hui and Cang Xing to the interrogation room.

On the way, a police officer casually remarked, "Your city bureau handles cases big and powerful enough that you even dare to investigate high-risk incidents like the 'divine messenger.' Our local police station can't compare at all; we just deal with mundane things like cracking down on prostitution and handling disputes."

After yesterday's events, the terror of the divine messenger has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Fangyuan City.

"It's all about maintaining social order, regardless of the scale," Cang Xing chuckled, responding with great experience.

"Haha, that's true." The police officer nodded with a smile.

Soon, the three arrived outside the interrogation room.

To avoid alerting the suspects, Zhong Hui and Cang Xing hid in a secluded spot and asked the police to find a plausible excuse to let them leave.

Although the police officer was somewhat puzzled, he still did as he was told. He pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and under the gaze of many people, he shouted inside, "Fang Qingqing, come out."

Inside, Fang Qingqing, already anxious, became even more distraught upon hearing the police call her name. She dragged herself out slowly, and despite her distress, she persisted in trying to explain to the stern-faced officer: "Officer, this is really my first time. I'll never do it again. Please give me another one..."

The police officer interrupted impatiently, "Alright, that's all for now, go."

"what?"

Fang Qingqing was stunned on the spot.

She had planned a perfect response: first, to act cute and flirtatious; if that didn't work, she would pretend to be clueless during the interrogation. But now, all her preparations were useless, and she was released.

Her mind raced with wild thoughts: Was it because I'm too beautiful that the police deliberately let me go? Yes, that must be it…

"What, don't you want to leave?" Seeing her standing still, the police officer's tone suddenly became serious, pretending to put her back in the locker.

"No, no, come on, I'll leave right away, thank you, officer!"

Fang Qingqing ran a few steps in her high heels, then suddenly turned back, handed over a business card, and said in a soft and charming voice, "This is my business card. You can contact me if you need anything."

The police officer was both amused and exasperated: "Are you trying to do business with me?"

"No, no," Fang Qingqing quickly waved her hand to explain, "I'm not going to do this anymore. I just wanted to treat you to a meal another day to thank you properly."

"It's good that you know when to turn back. You're young, you have hands and feet, you can find any decent job to make a living. Don't do this kind of work that sells your body and makes you lose your dignity anymore."

The police officer offered a few words of advice in a serious tone, accepted the business card, and left his information: "My surname is Xu, and I work at this station. If you encounter any problems finding a job in the future, you can ask me for help."

"Hmm."

Fang Qingqing nodded vigorously, smiling brightly. After running a distance, she turned back and made a phone call gesture before finally leaving.

After confirming that the person had left, Zhong Hui and Cang Xing emerged from their hiding place.

Cang Xing casually joked, "Officer Xu is really charming. He makes people fall in love as soon as they meet."

"No, I'm not worthy of that," the police officer said. "Besides, I'm already married and have a two-year-old child."

"Really? You look only in your early twenties, getting married and having children so early?"

Officer Xu has a very good appearance; he has delicate features and fair skin, and looks like a recent college graduate.

"Hey, I was naive back in college." He chuckled dryly.

At this moment, Zhong Hui, his eyes fixed on the interrogation room, suddenly interrupted and asked, "Who are the people locked up in here?"

"They were all arrested in today's anti-prostitution operation. After the interrogation process is completed, they will be sent to the detention center for custody," Officer Xu said.

"So many people have been arrested?" Cang Xing leaned closer to look inside the room, surprised that there were so many people engaged in prostitution in Fangyuan City.

"How will these people be punished?" Zhong Hui continued to press.

"Depending on the severity of the offense, detention can range from five to fifteen days." Officer Xu looked Zhong Hui up and down, a puzzled expression on his face. "Comrade Jiang, are you a newly recruited police officer? How come you don't even know these basic regulations?"

Cang Xing sensed something was wrong and quickly interrupted the conversation: "Since the target has been released, we won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, she immediately grabbed Zhong Hui and hurriedly left the police station.

Officer Xu frowned as he watched the two figures hurriedly leave, but ultimately decided not to chase after them and ask any more questions.

As the two walked out of the police station and stood on the asphalt road, Cangxing noticed that the outdoor temperature had risen to another level.

As far as the eye can see, scorching heat waves are hitting you, and the roadside plants are wilted and lifeless from the sun.

She secretly rejoiced that Zhong Hui was by her side; otherwise, following someone in such extreme weather would have likely left her tanned and sunburnt in no time.

With a quick glance around, Cang Xing soon spotted Fang Qingqing, who had just left the police station. She was holding a parasol and moving slowly in the shadows under the eaves.

Cang Xing didn't follow immediately. He turned to Zhong Hui and asked, "Are those people arrested in the interrogation room also involved in something?"

"Yes, there are several women inside, whose life state is exactly the same as Fang Qingqing's. They have all been subjected to the Human Furnace Technique."

"The person who performed this procedure must have incredibly strong kidneys."

Cang Xing clung tightly to Zhong Hui, savoring the rare coolness amidst the sweltering heat, when suddenly a crucial question occurred to him: "Won't something happen to those people if they're kept locked up like this?"

"There is no danger in the short term. But if the life energy accumulated in the body is left unharvested for a long time and continues to pile up, it will eventually get out of control and burn the person to ashes from the inside out."

"Then let's leave it for now," Cang Xing said. "Let's go and try to resolve this matter today."

She believed that everything had its priorities, and as long as the mastermind behind it was found and killed, not only could the abnormal high temperature be resolved, but those who had been infected in the interrogation room could also be saved, which would be a permanent solution.

The two immediately concealed their presence and followed Fang Qingqing with practiced ease.

Fang Qingqing, holding an umbrella in one hand and fanning herself with a piece of cardboard in the other, complained in a low voice with a face full of annoyance: "Is today haunted? Why is the temperature getting higher and higher? Oh my god, I can't stand it!"

She rushed forward frantically, eager to get home and enjoy the coolness of the air conditioning.

…………

Meanwhile, in another part of the city.

Yao Ri and Mu Yue concealed themselves and quietly followed behind a tall, slender stranger.

In a city currently experiencing extreme heat and where no one dares to linger outdoors, this man is completely unaffected by the heat, strolling leisurely along the sun-baked street.

It was precisely this anomaly that led to his exposure, attracting the attention of the two patrolling divine messengers who have been tracking him ever since.

Seeing that the other person had walked for a long time without breaking a sweat, Yao Ri, who was feeling extremely hot, muttered in a low voice, "What is this guy trying to do? He's been wandering around the streets for ages, I'm about to burn out from the heat!"

Mu Yue, standing to the side, looked listless, completely exhausted by the high temperature: "Captain, I'm about to ascend to heaven. Should we just take him down and torture him? If we keep following him like this, I'm afraid I'll faint from the heat before we even figure out the cause of the high temperature."

"Stay calm, especially in times like these, we must remain composed and display an iron will!"

"Even steel can't withstand high temperatures..."

At this moment, Fangyuan City is like a giant furnace.

The entire city's residents stayed at home, relying on air conditioning and fans to cool down and survive.

While magical girls possess physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, they are still unable to withstand extremely harsh weather conditions when they do not transform or use magical protection. At most, they will not be killed by extreme weather.

As for why they would rather endure the high temperatures than use magic to protect themselves, the reasons are quite simple: firstly, releasing magic would easily reveal their presence and alert the enemy; secondly, continuously using their power would pollute the Soul Gem, which would be tantamount to suicide in the long run.

As the sweltering heat intensified, the stranger in front of him glanced around before turning and disappearing into a quiet alley.

Yao Ri and Mu Yue exchanged a glance, their faces filled with despair, but they could only silently follow.

The man strolled through the alley, making several turns before finally turning out of the alley.

Seeing this, Mu Yue gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to curse, and secretly made up her mind that once she found out the cause of the high temperature, she would definitely tear that damned guy to pieces!

The two followed the man to a very secluded place.

Suddenly, the man stopped, turned around, and wore a playful smile.

Yao Ri and Mu Yue, hiding in the shadows, felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, sensing that something was amiss.

The man raised his hand to his chest and bowed slightly, then stood up and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, a simple trick has successfully lured you into the trap. No need to hide anymore, come out."

The two remained silent, still concealing their presence.

Do you think I'm bluffing you?

The man was unconcerned, and like a victor, he smugly recounted his plan: "After you killed Bushan and the Divine Messenger of Punishment last time, we were ordered by the God of Order to devise a plan against you."

"To be honest, this unusually high temperature in Fangyuan City was caused by the Celestial Envoy, who is undetectable; I was responsible for wandering around outside, acting as bait to lure you here."

"This area has been sealed off by the Envoy of the Boundary Conferring Godhood. Once you step inside, there is no way to escape. No matter how fiercely the fighting goes, the outside world will not be able to detect what is happening here. This is a killing trap specially set up for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fireball descended from the sky.

Hiding in the shadows to spy on Yao Ri and Mu Yue, he quickly activated his magic to teleport away, which is why their figures were exposed.

The man looked at the two people he had released and laughed loudly: "Yao Ri and Mu Yue, one a five-star leader, the other a four-star healing magic girl. Once we get rid of you, the rest of the Floating Light Squad can be dealt with easily. It seems today is the day your Fangyuan City is destroyed!"

"What are you pretending for?"

Yao Ri snorted coldly and said, "As a fellow five-star, killing you is a piece of cake."

Any five-star magical girl is not even in the same league as a five-star magical girl.

This is also why she is so confident and arrogant.

"Really? What if we include all of us?"

Strange energy fluctuations spread out, and figures suddenly appeared one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a full twelve divine messengers gathered here.

Yao Ri's expression instantly hardened, and Mu Yue felt a chill run down her spine. Four five-stars and eight four-stars—the difference in numbers and combat power between the two sides was simply terrifying.

The man sneered, "I laugh at Yao Ri for his lack of wisdom and Mu Yue for his lack of strategy. Now that the twelve most powerful divine envoys under the command of the God-King of Order have come out together, what do you two have to hold them off?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight!"

As the saying goes, "Losing the opponent is not the same as losing the game."

Undeterred, Yao Ri transformed on the spot, spear in hand, his aura soaring to the heavens, burning the sky.

As Muyue completed her transformation, her staff shone brightly, and she was enveloped in a gentle aura that nourished all living things.

"I like your arrogance and self-confidence; I just hope you can maintain this attitude until you die."

The man was the mastermind behind the entire scheme. With a single step, a terrifying power emanated from him. "Remember the murderer, the Heavenly Wisdom Envoy!"

Both sides were in high spirits and clashed, a great battle was about to break out.

Chapter 129 Shameless Heavenly Wisdom

Inside a residential building in a certain community, Zhong Hui and Cang Xing were idly waiting at Fang Qingqing's door.

Since returning home, Fang Qingqing has kept her bedroom door tightly shut, and after taking a shower, she goes to take a nice afternoon nap.
