"Calm down, little sister. These are just my guesses. Currently, Jingliu Jianshou is bringing this child to our Ten Kings Division. If he really has a problem, he would not come here to throw himself into a trap like this."
"I'm sorry, sister. I lost my temper."
"It's okay. I know you're under too much pressure. But this incident involves a lot of people and may involve the conspiracy of the Star God. In short, it should not be underestimated. We, the judges, must do our best to investigate the truth."
Xue Yi touched Jackdaw's head and tried hard to smile, but she had already forgotten what smile was.
A ghost messenger came from outside the house, and Xue Yi withdrew her hand.
"My Lords, the Sword Master Jingliu has arrived outside the palace."
"Come on, little sister, come with me to meet the Sword Master."
"It's sister."
Jackdaw nodded, and after calming down, she returned to her sister's calm and indifferent attitude.
The group left the room and headed towards the main hall of the Ten Kings Division.
At the same time, in the somewhat gloomy hall of the Ten Kings Temple, Xu Nuo also calmed himself down.
He looked at the majestic sculptures in the hall, his face expressionless and no one knew what he was thinking.
"No matter when you come to the Ten Kings Division, it always feels eerie. Don't be afraid, Xiao Xu Nuo. I will protect you."
Are you afraid?
Xu Nuo was hugged by the fox girl and his pretended deep look was broken. He felt that Bai Heng treated him like a pillow and wanted to hug him at every turn.
Looking at the fox girl's furry white tail swinging back and forth, Xu Nuo grabbed it and held it in his arms without hesitation.
Then he noticed that Jingliu's gaze was also on him. The more Jingliu looked at him, the happier he was playing with him, and soon Bai Heng's legs became a little weak.
"Hey, don't be like this, Xiao Xu Nuo. Don't touch the tail of a fox-man in public anymore."
Bai Heng gave these instructions while blushing as he pulled his tail out of Xu Nuo's hand.
"Sister Bai Heng also hugs me casually in public."
"How can they be the same? The meanings of tails to fox people are different! And what's wrong with Sister Bai Heng hugging you? Do you want to resist?"
As he spoke, Bai Heng hugged Xu Nuo even tighter, and the temperature in the already gloomy Ten Kings Hall seemed to become even lower.
Xu Nuo felt that he might have to give Bai Heng a subtle reminder. If Jing Liu was bullied by him in front of him every day, he might really get provoked into turning into a demonic body.
Chapter 26: Choice of Mirror Stream
The sudden sound of footsteps attracted Jingliu's attention, and then she saw many people surrounding the hall from both sides.
Leading the way were the two judges, one with black hair and the other with white hair, and there were many underworld officials. The golden soul-collectors and the underworld warriors followed closely behind. At a glance, there were probably nearly a hundred people, and the mighty team surrounded the entire hall.
The atmosphere in the hall also became solemn. The Ten Kings' appearance of facing a powerful enemy made Bai Heng a little confused and at a loss.
"Is Juou Si a little too nervous? Since I came here in person and am standing here, it means that my mental state is still healthy."
Jingliu thought that these people were targeting him. After all, he seemed to be showing signs of a demonic body, so it was normal for them to be so nervous.
Jackdaw glanced at his sister, then walked forward, first saluted towards the mirror, then looked at Xu Nuo with a vigilant look and spoke.
"Greetings, Master Swordsman. The reason why the Ten Kings are on alert is not because of you, but because of him."
Xu Nuo knew it very well that his identity must have been discovered by the Ten Kings Division, while Bai Heng looked puzzled.
"Him? He's just an ordinary barbarian. Why should we be wary of him?"
Seeing the two underworld officials coming forward with shackles and handcuffs in their hands, Jing Liu frowned slightly, while Bai Heng subconsciously protected Xu Nuo behind him.
"Wait...wait, is there some misunderstanding here? Xiao Xu Nuo is really just an ordinary person, and he is seriously ill. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"The Ten Kings Division is handling the case. I hope you two can understand and cooperate. We have sufficient evidence. This young man is very dangerous. The corresponding safety measures are just in case, to ensure that he will not suddenly attack. If the final investigation proves that we really wronged and misunderstood him, then the Ten Kings Division will naturally apologize to him and give him corresponding compensation."
Bai Heng didn't know what to say and could only look at Jing Liu. Jing Liu was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"He's not in good health, so forget about the shackles and irons. Besides, I'm here with you, the elite soldiers of the Ten Kings Division, so is it necessary to use these formalities? If so many of us can't do anything to him, then these things are meaningless, right?"
The two underworld officials who came forward looked at each other. Jackdaw didn't know what to do for a moment. She looked at Xu Nuo who was hidden behind Bai Heng. The young man in front of her looked really harmless.
"Sister, what do you think?"
"What Jingliu Jianshou said is true. We are still unsure whether this child is guilty or not. On the surface, he is still a victim. It is indeed inappropriate to treat him like this. Anyway, everyone, please follow me into the inner hall. I will explain to you the results of the investigation of the Ten Kings Division."
Led by Jackdaw and Snowy, the group came to the depths of the Karma Hall, which was also where Jackdaw had worked before.
Along the way, Xu Nuo looked at the various facilities of the Ten Kings Bureau curiously, without any sign of nervousness or fear on his face. In comparison, Bai Heng, who was accompanying him, was more nervous and kept holding Xu Nuo's hand tightly.
She knew very well what would happen if she became a serious criminal of the Ten Kings Division.
In the end, it was Xu Nuo who patted the fox girl's hand and told her to relax.
"So, what evidence do you, the Ten Kings Division, have, and why do you suspect this child?"
"We investigated the deceased's information and learned the origins and identities of everyone except him."
Xue Yi spoke up, and Jackdaw handed the previous information to Jingliu.
Jing Liu flipped through them one by one, and frowned slightly when he read the last one.
"The unidentified demon used the promise of longevity and the ability to heal diseases as bait to lure the foreigners into the Immortal Boat, and then killed them as sacrifices to the Plague Ancestor. We don't know how long they continued this sacrifice, nor do we know how many sacrifices they offered, but we do know that this sacrifice received a response, and that response was the young man."
Xue Yi said the last part and raised her finger to point at Xu Nuo, who continued to sit there quietly in silence.
"Although the Lord of Longevity, Plague and Disaster will not reject prayers, not everyone can receive his blessing. There are countless records of him enlightening lives, but I have never heard of him responding to faith and sacrifices and blessing a person."
"No... there are some. The last person sent by Shou Wen Huo Zu to enlighten and lead the people of Feng Rao and brazenly invade the Immortal Boat was called Shu Hu."
The Envoy of Abundance is so sudden that he can be seen as the spokesperson for the Pharmacist in a sense.
The blessings of the Pharmacist spread throughout the universe, but in the past few thousand years, only a few people have been able to actually meet this star god.
Instead, the extremely active person was an envoy named Shuhu, and what he did was no different from what the pharmacist did.
Spreading the curse of immortality wantonly, turning planets into tangled flesh and blood.
He led the people of Fengrao to launch attacks on the immortal boat again and again. The living planet Luohou that once attacked the Cangcheng immortal boat was enlightened by him.
Jing Liu clenched the sword in his hand, and the temperature in the room instantly dropped to freezing point, with frost even spreading along the ground under the woman's feet.
Bai Heng's face also showed some complicated emotions. She looked at Xu Nuo who was sitting next to her, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Suspect Xu Nuo, do you have any excuse? Who are you and why did you come to the Immortal Boat?"
The white-haired judge assumed a majestic posture, and she was responded with a chuckle.
"I am just an ordinary person, a foreigner. I believe that Jingliu Jianshou knows my situation best. The doctors of Danding Division have also examined me. If the two judges are still worried, they can check my body again to see if I am a rich evil creature."
"If you are really an Envoy of the Order of Plenty at the same level as Shuchu, it would not be difficult for you to hide your power."
"Hide your power, what do I want to hide my power for? Jingliu is the strongest fighter in your Luofu, right? She was drunk and unconscious last night. According to what you said, if I am so powerful, why don't I take the opportunity to kill her, or use special methods to make her fall into the devil's body?"
Hearing Xu Nuo just admitting that he was drunk, Jing Liu looked a little embarrassed.
But just like Xu Nuo said, she also couldn't find the meaning of the other party's hidden power.
"We had a party last night and drank a lot. If he really wanted to do something, he might be able to catch all of us in one fell swoop."
As Jingliu said this, she took a step forward, an action that showed her attitude.
She did not agree with the judgment of the two judges in front of her, and she wanted to keep her promise.
Chapter 27 I Have a Demonic Body
Ever since Jingliu expressed his attitude with words and actions, the atmosphere in the room became a little solemn. The two judges, one black and one white, did not speak, but they had expressionless looks to begin with, and Xu Nuo could not tell what they were thinking.
However, what Xu Nuo did not expect was that Jing Liu would actually speak up for him.
Now he could understand what Bai Heng meant by "sharp tongue but a soft heart".
Well, it is indeed very soft, and he has held it with his own hands.
Jackdaw seemed a little hesitant. It was obvious that the current situation was not what she wanted to see. There was no need for the Tenth Prince to be so awkward with Jingliu Sword Master.
Of course, she did not expect that the Sword Master, who was arrogant, cold, and even unkind in the eyes of most people, would inexplicably defend a barbarian.
But Xue Yi had no intention of giving up. She continued to speak to Jing Liu with an expressionless face.
"Perhaps he is not good at direct combat, but hiding his strength? As for his purpose, he can stay on the Immortal Boat and stay beside Jingliu Sword Master, so he can naturally obtain a lot of intelligence."
"Two judges, everything you said is based on your own conjectures, and there is no substantial and decisive evidence. The Immortal Boat has been able to stand in this universe and galaxy until now, and has been prosperous and has been hunting for immortals according to the will of patrolling, relying on strict laws and military discipline. The Immortal Boat will never punish others for such a serious crime without any evidence!"
Jingliu's statement naturally gave Bai Heng courage. The fox girl also stepped forward and spoke, also expressing her attitude.
"You two adults are right. The Ten Kings Division does not have any evidence to prove the danger of that young man, but it is also true that his origins are unknown. Before we thoroughly understand his origins, I think it is necessary to monitor him at the highest level, so it is best to let him live in the Ten Kings Division from now on."
"What's the difference between staying in the Ten Kings Division and staying by my side? So, it's not that the Ten Kings Division can't tolerate a foreign boy. The Ten Kings Division is really wary of me, right?"
Jingliu spoke, his words sounding somewhat serious, while Jackdaw and Xueyi fell into silence.
The Tenth Prince had indeed been paying attention to Jing Liu's situation, because the day when her demonic body would break out was getting closer and closer.
Indeed, Jing Liu's will is strong enough to persist and resist the influence and erosion of the evil spirit, but how long can she persist, a hundred years, ten years, or even a shorter time?
It was also because the other party was the Luofu Sword Master, one of the Five Warriors on the Clouds, and a great hero in the eyes of the people of Xianzhou. If not for this, she would have been invited to the Ten Kings Division, with her freedom restricted and under strict supervision.
It's not that the Ten Kings Division is cold-blooded and heartless and disregards friendship, but Xianzhou has paid enough price for it.
For a being like Jingliu, once his evil Yin body gets out of control, the consequences will be devastating.
"Jingliu, calm down..."
As if he noticed that something was not right with his friend, Bai Heng nervously supported the other's body.
It was no secret that Jingliu's time was running out, not to mention that Jingliu's evil spirit had already attacked once not long ago.
Although that was an excuse Jing Liu made up in a hurry, Bai Heng always kept it in mind.
The fox girl wrapped her palm around Jingliu's clenched fist, stroking the back of her hand constantly, speaking in her ear to comfort her.
On the other side, the Snow-Clad Judge clenched the chain in his hand, looking as if he wanted to catch Jingliu on the spot.
Jackdaw grabbed his sister in a panic, fearing that she would attack him without saying a word.
My sister is good in every way except that she is too serious sometimes, lacking any human touch and having no idea how to read the mood.
Although, indeed, the Ten Kings never bend the law for personal gain and treat everyone equally. Anyone who falls into the devil's shadow will be led by the Ten Kings to nirvana. Any serious criminal who commits the ten unforgivable sins will be detained by the Ten Kings and sentenced to death.
But that was Jing Liu! He was the sword master of the Luofu Immortal Boat, one of the Five Heroes on the Cloud, and a great hero of the entire Immortal Boat Alliance.
You can't just take someone down like this, right? They haven't fallen into the evil spirit yet!
Isn't it time to appease Jingliu Jianshou's emotions? Do you really want to force her to fall into evil?
If we start fighting here, the entire Ten Kings Division will be razed to the ground!
Jackdaw still knew the temper of Jingliu Sword Master, and the hole in Changletian's sky had not been filled yet.
Moreover, not to mention that Jingliu doesn't have a demonic body yet. If things get out of hand like this, it will be a big problem if Jingliu Sword Master really becomes possessed by the demon.
Wouldn't that mean that the Ten Kings were ruthless, persecuting the heroes, and finally forcing Luofu Swordsman to fall into the evil?
If this matter gets out of hand, it might shake the foundation of the entire Immortal Boat.
Even if Jingliu falls into the evil spirit, the Ten Kings must be sincere and treat her with courtesy, and finally send her away in a dignified manner.
"Calm down and concentrate."
At this tense moment, Xu Nuo spoke. He walked to Jing Liu's side and stretched out his hand to cover the woman's eyes.
Jingliu's heavy breathing gradually calmed down, her body stopped shaking, and her clenched fists slowly opened.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..."
She patted Bai Heng's hand, comforting her friend who was worried about her, and repeated these words over and over again.
"However, my demonic body's attacks are becoming more and more common. I feel that I need to stay here, in the Ten Kings Division, and be monitored and guarded until I am sure that my mental state is completely fine. What do you think, judges?"
"Oh, by the way, just put me and this kid in the same room. I feel that I will be much more relaxed with him. He seems to be able to suppress my demonic body. Of course, if the two judges are worried and insist on separating us, that's not impossible."
Snowy relaxed, loosening his grip on the chain, and Jackdaw breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't understand. Jingliu Sword Master has killed countless evil creatures and saved countless poor people. Why is he so partial to this young man this time? What special magic power does he have that can affect you and Master Bai Heng?"
"Sister, please don't talk about this kind of thing at this time!"
The jackdaw seemed a little helpless, while the corner of Jingliu's mouth slightly raised into a beautiful arc.
