Zheng Dongliu nodded and said calmly, "Let's move on. We'll stick to the principle of proximity. Anyone who tries to stop us will be apprehended."

A voice was heard from the other side of the communication compass, and then all contact was cut off.

Inside the hall, several figures stood up and left.

The remaining people cannot move. On the one hand, they are in charge of Wandao Sect, and on the other hand, they are monitoring the Two Realms Pass.

Xiao Yinruo also took out the communication compass and contacted Yi Beiyao and Gu Chenxi. Among the names Lu Jinan read out, several were from sects in the Qingmiao Domain.

"Three immortals."

A sinister look flashed in Zheng Dongliu's eyes. Zhou Yuanfu, who was at the Hedao realm, knew about three immortals. How many immortals were hidden in the lower realm who worked for the upper realm?

It is obvious that the upper realm has been trying to seize the bodies of geniuses from the lower realm for quite some time.

"Jin'an, go capture those people in the sect." Zheng Dongliu looked at Lu Jin'an and said, "Find out how they managed to evade the Seven Apertures Exquisite Tower test."

Lu Jinan bowed, collected Zhou Yuanfu who had transformed into a corpse, and left Chang'an Palace. Mu Qingyue also quietly left her seat.

"Master, I want to go too—" Zhu Nanzhi said hesitantly as she looked at Mu Qingyue's leaving back, but this was an internal affair of the Wandao Sect, and she, the Saint of Qingmiao Palace, seemed to have no right to interfere.

After all, I haven't married my husband yet.

"Go ahead, just don't do anything."

"I was just secretly looking at my husband~" Zhu Nanzhi hurriedly chased after him.

Zheng Dongliu stood up and walked down the steps of the platform. He asked Ji Wenchang, "I heard that the demon tribe has set up a fighting arena at the Two Realms Pass?"

Ji Wenchang nodded: "Yes, there are many masters, and their bloodline is a bit strange. Now we have lost a lot."

Zheng Dongliu nodded and said, "Let Jin An go, and take this year's new disciples with him."

"After that, the rest of you will come with me and keep the border between the two realms in peace for a while."

"As ordered."

"Junior brother."

After watching Lu Jinan finish delivering the message to Jiang Wuya and the others, Mu Qingyue said, "The demon tribe has set up an arena at the Two Realms Pass. I will help you accept the challenge."

Lu Jinan nodded and asked, "What's the matter with that letter?"

"Nanzhi didn't let me see it." Mu Qingyue said softly, "But I guess you can't tell anything from the handwriting."

Lu Jinan turned his head and looked at Mu Qingyue: "Have you told Qiu Qingtang about this?"

"She went to the cave in the back mountain before you, Junior Brother." Mu Qingyue said lightly: "She always thought I wanted to wear the collar to show Junior Brother."

Lu Jinan smiled and said, "I originally thought so too."

“Dreams come true?”

"Is it done?" Lu Jinan asked, "Will you be quiet?"

"No." Mu Qingyue's voice was flat: "But it is indeed me who is wearing the collar now."

"Don't say such things." Helplessness flashed in Lu Jinan's eyes. He was really curious about what kind of mentality she had to say such words in such a casual tone.

Mu Qingyue remained noncommittal: "We've arrived at the inner gate."

Lu Jinan stopped and found that his direct disciples such as Jiang Wuya were already waiting there.

Everyone greeted him: "Greetings, Holy Son."

Lu Jinan returned the greeting, and Jiang Wuya immediately said, "The four disciples you mentioned are currently in the sect."

"Where are they all?"

"According to your instructions, all the disciples in the compound they are in and the surrounding rows have been summoned to the square at the inner gate."

Lu Jinan nodded, feeling regretful in his heart. If he were outside, there would be many excuses for his sudden disappearance.

Within the sect, one can only follow the formal procedures.

He brought Jiang Wuya and others to the square of the inner gate.

At this time, the square was guarded by disciples from the Criminal Court, and outside were other inner disciples who were paying attention to this area.

"Does anyone know what's going on? Did someone steal something or something?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it was the Criminal Court that directly notified these people to gather in the square. It seems to be the order of the Holy Son."

"The Holy Son—the Holy Son is here."

The whispers around the square immediately quieted down as Lu Jinan and others arrived.

Lu Jinan looked at the hundreds of inner disciples who were being watched by the disciples of the Criminal Court in the middle of the square.

The rule of the Wandao Sect is that once an inner disciple becomes a saint who has reached the realm of sainthood, he or she can choose to leave the sect and establish a new sect outside or return to their family.

However, there are more people who stay, and now some of these inner disciples have become saints in the Hedao realm.

Among the four, two have reached the Hedao realm.

As Lu Jinan walked, he locked onto the four people standing in the crowd. The space rules were activated to trap the four people, and he raised his hand and waved.

Jiang Wuya and others behind him immediately rushed out with a clear goal.

Although two of these four people had reached the Hedao realm, they were still no match for Jiang Wuya and other direct disciples. In addition, they were blocked by Lu Jinan's spatial rules, and they were all captured in a few seconds. Their storage rings were removed and their spiritual seas were sealed.

"Why are you arresting me?!"

"Son, what have we done wrong?"

"Son, I have also asked you for advice——

Lu Jinan looked at them with a gentle expression: "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after we get to the Criminal Court."

Lu Jinan didn't know whether any of these four people were from the upper realm to confuse the public, but since Zhou Yuanfu had their names in his memory, he would capture them first.

As for the subsequent interrogation, that was his business.

Although he really wanted to use the Hades Certificate directly, the rules of the Wandao Sect were not just for show, and he really had to give an explanation to the entire sect.

Otherwise, if everyone is in danger, the sect will fall apart sooner or later.

Lu Jinan looked at the leader of the Criminal Court and said in a loud voice, "Hold the case immediately."

Tianxian Valley, criminal court.

Lu Jinan looked at Zhou Yuanfu, who looked lifeless in front of him. He was not impressed by his real appearance. He just cast a spell to change his skin that was corroded by Yin energy, so that he looked like an ordinary person.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t speak, after all, it’s not difficult to manipulate a puppet and imitate sounds.

But Lu Jinan felt that it was useless because the four disciples did not know Zhou Yuanfu's true appearance and voice.

He just needed Zhou Yuanfu to confirm the few times he had contact with them.

The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Tower in the sect is an immortal weapon that imitates the inner demon tribulation to test the disciples' minds. If this immortal weapon cannot detect the identity of the person who has taken over their body, then the only way is through evidence.

Although soul searching is a simple and quick method, it is too subjective.

In addition, the Criminal Court has the blessing of Deputy Sect Leader Ji Wenchang's "Correcting the Original and Clearing the Source", a Taoist method similar to the Legalists, so the method of soul searching cannot be used at all.

It is easy to affect Ji Wenchang's avenue.

Although Ji Wenchang's cultivation has not yet reached the level of Shenyin, he is still confident that he can achieve Shenyin in Wandao Sect because of the Taoist method of "correcting the origin and clearing the source" that he created in Wandao Sect.

So Lu Jinan needs Zhou Yuanfu's cooperation.

After making preparations, Lu Jinan asked Jiang Wuya to take Zhou Yuanfu away first, and then he walked out of the house as well.

"Hehe, husband~"

As soon as he walked out, Zhu Nanzhi hugged him from behind and showed him the painting she had just finished: "The way my husband waved his hand just now really moved me~"

"Just for you to see."

Lu Jinan was looking at the painting and thinking, otherwise he would just let Jiang Wuya and others arrest these four guys and take them to the criminal court.

"The painting is really good." Lu Jinan praised.

"Hmm~" Zhu Nanzhi hugged him and danced happily a few times. Lu Jinan clearly felt the changes in Zhu Nanzhi's sweet pomelo, and the fragrance was overwhelming.

"Come down first." Lu Jinan patted Zhu Nanzhi's legs: "There are too many people here."

Zhu Nanzhi chuckled: "Except Qingyue, there is no one else."

Lu Jinan took a look and found that all the disciples from the Criminal Court had already left.

He smiled silently: "Okay, let's finish the business first."

Zhu Nanzhi kissed him on the face and let him go obediently.

"Husband~" Zhu Nanzhi put away the scroll and hugged his arm: "You said some things before that were confusing.

Can't you tell from Zhou Yuanfu's memory?"

"Perhaps that's what the Bai Shangshi said to Zhou Yuanfu." Lu Jinan stretched out his other hand and took Mu Qingyue's. "So Zhou Yuanfu contacted them, but not all of these four people responded to Zhou Yuanfu."

"Someone got orders like 'stay hidden'?"

"Ah."

"What if he doesn't admit it?" Zhu Nanzhi tilted her head and looked at Lu Jinan: "If I were to say,

For those who seize the body from the upper realm, it is better to kill them by mistake than to let them go."

Lu Jinan squeezed her palm and said, "It's what I thought, but try not to be wronged."

Zhu Nanzhi looked at him with a smile and joked, "Given your reputation in the Wandao Sect, whatever you say is true. Others will definitely be more willing to believe you."

Lu Jinan also joked: "That will have to wait until I sit on the throne of the sect leader. It's still risky to do so now, haha."

"That's right~" Zhu Nanzhi stared at him for a while with bright eyes, then spoke slowly.

"Then when my husband becomes the Sect Master, I will be the Sect Master's wife of the Wandao Sect, right?"

Chapter 254: Frank, and then——"Now it's my turn to vent!"

"Then after my husband becomes the leader of the Wandao Sect, I will be the leader's wife, right?

Hearing Zhu Nanzhi's voice, Mu Qingyue's lips curled up into a smile.

Nanzhi started to test it now.

Test the relationship between the husband and Master Pei.

Putting aside the relationship between her, the senior sister and the junior brother, in which she teaches and is taught, only Pei Suoyu is left.

So Nanzhi specifically emphasized Wandao Sect.

Junior brother should have heard it too, right?

Lu Jinan turned his head to look at Zhu Nanzhi. She was wearing a light blue dress with a stand-up collar, embroidered with flowers and butterflies, and a cloud shoulder draped over her shoulders. She looked gentle yet cool, like a lady from a noble family.

Nanzhi is the best at dressing up.

"Yes." Lu Jinan's eyes swept across the silver butterfly hairpin on her head that held her long hair together, and he said frankly: "It's not just you—I have something to tell you when we get back later."

Zhu Nanzhi's heart tightened, but he still nodded slightly.

Lu Jinan withdrew his gaze, let go of Nanzhi and Qingyue's hands, and walked into the main hall of the front yard through the side door.

Although it was night, many disciples had already gathered in the courtyard.

Because the Wandao Sect's criminal court system is mature, it is not common for the Holy Son to personally arrest people with his disciples.

So everyone was very curious about what crime the four people kneeling in the hall had committed.

Lu Jinan sat down on the left with Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue. Zhu Nanzhi wanted to offer a cup of tea to Xianggong Hu, who was tired from the journey, but considering the current situation, he did not act.

"Son of God, what sin have we committed?"

Seeing Lu Jinan coming, Duan Chaohai among the four immediately looked at him and asked anxiously.

"If you have anything to say, please speak to the Elder Tongpan."

Lu Jinan spoke calmly. He had no intention of interrogating. After all, the elders of the Criminal Court had much more experience than him in matters such as interrogation. There was no need for him to show off his power.

After Duan Chaohai and others looked at the desk in the courtroom, they heard whispers from outside.

"Deputy Dean You of the Criminal Court is personally conducting the interrogation. Duan Chaohai and his gang's crimes are not minor."

"I don't know if they stole the treasure or colluded with the demon tribe—
