Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

This is an underground cave, and the ground has obviously been artificially modified, with its own layout.

The fiery magma flows slowly along the cracks, dividing the ground and forming a complex and huge array.

The second elder stared at the pair of eyes with only whites, sitting on the ground, and said gloomily, "Last night, it seems that there was more than one person on Niutou Mountain."

The Bone Messenger stood aside and said softly, "So what? Besides the wrong clues and the traps for killing people, there is nothing left on Niutou Mountain."

"Hehehe... that guy from the Fang family, you just let him go like that?"

"What else?"

"Do you really think Dong A will protect him?"

"If Dong A doesn't protect him, we will only lose one Fang Heling. If Dong A protects him, we will see the conflict between the Taoist Academy and the Criminal Investigation Department. Why not?"

The second elder laughed again and patted the seat next to him, "Come and sit with me."

"I prefer to stand." The Bone Messenger said.

"Young people nowadays are smarter than one another. Looking at you, I often feel that I am old."

"You were born with the ability to communicate between yin and yang. Of course, you don't understand the hardships of ordinary people like us." The Bone Messenger's face is always hidden behind a mask. "If you lack talent, you can only use your brain more."

The second elder looked up at him with a smile, "Messenger, do you think I am an arrogant fool?"

The Bone Messenger deliberately avoided eye contact and responded softly, "Of course you are not an arrogant fool. But you should know that I am not either."

"Your attitude towards the Saintess is exactly the same."

"Is that so? It is my honor."

"When Daozi awakens, she will be the Saintess. Now you are on equal footing, but then you will always be inferior to her. Are you willing?"

"I have no unwillingness." The Bone Messenger smiled lightly. "We are all working for the sect. There is no distinction of high or low."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Everything that needed to be said has been said. It is not a good experience to stay here and be on guard against those eyes.

After the Bone Messenger walked away, the second elder suddenly opened his arms as if embracing something. "Who would have thought that the Nine Killings Profound Yin Formation would leave such pure Yin energy? Zuo Guanglie died as he should, it is truly the will of the Respected God!"

The magma in the crack suddenly flowed back, just under his feet, barely forming a skeletal shape.

"So, Lu Yan." The magma skeleton spoke, its voice low and hoarse. "Who is the arrogant fool?"

"Hehehe, of course it's you! Provoking Ye Lingxiao, isn't that arrogant enough?"

The second elder, whose real name is Lu Yan, lowered his head and looked at the crack with his eyes.

"The plan has reached this point, there must be no more mistakes..."

The skull instantly dissipated, and the magma continued to flow slowly.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

...

"Dean! Something bad happened!"

Jiang Wang had just arrived at the gate of Dong A's courtyard when he saw a senior brother rushing into the courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard, he gasped for breath and reported, "The Criminal Investigation Department came to our Taoist Academy to arrest someone, but they were stopped by Dean Song at the gate! Dean Song asked me to inform you immediately!"

"I see." Dong A stepped out of the house and walked out calmly.

The Criminal Investigation Department? Jiang Wang's heart moved.

He guessed that they might be here to arrest Fang Heling. Their undercover agent had disappeared like that, and they must have an explanation.

Fang Heling lived in Feima Lane and always entered the Taoist Academy through the back door, so he didn't know what had happened at the front door.

The senior brother who delivered the message led the way in front, and Dong A followed behind, calmly inquiring about the situation.

Affected by his calmness, the senior brother's emotions also stabilized, and he reported the situation in a straightforward manner.

The situation itself is not complicated. The Criminal Investigation Department suddenly came to the Taoist Academy, claiming that an undercover agent responsible for tracking Fang Heling had disappeared and wanted to take Fang Heling back for investigation.

During the lecture, Xiao Tiemian stopped them on the spot, demanding that the Criminal Investigation Department present evidence before discussing the matter of arresting someone.

The two sides were deadlocked, and then Vice Dean Song Qifang was alarmed, and the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Shisidan Cha, personally rushed over.

Because the situation has escalated to this point, Dong A had to be invited.

There was no emotion on Dong A's face. After asking about the situation, they had already arrived at the front gate.

Two cultivators from the Criminal Investigation Department were escorting Fang Heling, but Xiao Tiemian stood in front of them, not allowing them to leave.

Fang Heling had a dark circle around his right eye, indicating that he had suffered.

On the other side, Dean Song Qifang, surrounded by a group of teachers and students, was confronting the large group led by Shisidan Cha.

"Dean Song." Shisidan Cha spoke respectfully, but there was no respect on his face. "I don't know what your intention is in obstructing our law enforcement?"

Song Qifang, who was already old, blinked his eyes and was about to speak.

The crowd suddenly dispersed.

"Dean Dong is here!"

"Dean Dong will make the decision for us!"

Even Shisidan Cha himself suddenly showed a proper expression.

"Mr. Shan, where do you want to take our students?" Dong A asked calmly.

"Dean Dong." Shan Cha said with a smile on his face, "The Criminal Investigation Department suspects that there are hidden circumstances in the Bingwu mission that caused heavy losses to the students of the Dao Academy. Therefore, they specially dispatched a secret watcher to monitor Fang Heling day and night. But just last night, a secret watcher from the Criminal Investigation Department, a monk in the Circulating Realm, suddenly disappeared. The students of the City Dao Academy are the future pillars of my Zhuang Nation. For the safety of the Dao Academy students, we decided to take Fang Heling back for investigation first."

"Do you have any evidence that Fang Heling is related to the disappearance of your secret watcher?"

Shan Cha found it absurd, "That secret watcher disappeared while he was monitoring him, what other evidence do we need? Whether he is involved or not, we will know once we take him back for trial!"

"So, are you planning to torture him, or directly search his soul and seize his spirit?"

Shan Cha forced a smile, "Dean Dong is joking. The Criminal Investigation Department has always been fair and just in law enforcement, and we follow the rules. How could we do such a thing?"

Dean Dong, however, didn't give him any face, "You, a small law enforcement officer, do you think I'm joking with you?"

In fact, the Dean of the City Dao Academy, the law enforcement officers of the Criminal Investigation Department in various city domains, and the city lords, all hold high positions in various city domains. In terms of position, the city lord is slightly higher, and the dean and the law enforcement officer should be on the same level.

But it varies in different city domains. It's all about who is stronger and who has more say.

In the past, when Song Qifang was in charge of the City Dao Academy, it was not uncommon for Shan Cha to break into the academy to arrest people. But now, it's Dong Ah who is in charge.

How could Shan Cha, a cultivator at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm, raise his head in front of Dong Ah?

"The students of the Dao Academy may become my colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department in the future. We will never torture them." Shan Cha promised through gritted teeth.

Dong Ah looked around, "Which instructor is free later, accompany Fang Heling to the Criminal Investigation Department. We have our own laws in Zhuang Nation, and we will cooperate with normal inquiries. But if anyone dares to use those dirty tricks in the prison, I will never allow it!"

"Dean, I'll go. Fang Heling was taken away during my class, I should step forward." Xiao Tiemian said. He was known for his strictness and respected Dong Ah, who had a similar character.

The tense standoff ended like this. The people from the Criminal Investigation Department didn't dare to bind Fang Heling anymore, they just surrounded him.

Xiao Tiemian accompanied him on the side.

From beginning to end, Fang Heling kept his head down and didn't say a word. But his eyes were very complex.

Before leaving, Shan Cha suddenly said, "By the way, the head of the Ji Department will come to Fenglin City in a few days. He has had dealings with Dean Dong in Xin'an City, and he may come to visit his old friend at that time."

"Fine." Dong Ah said expressionlessly, "If the swelling on his face has gone down, he can come."

Shan Cha: "......"

He originally wanted to show off his power a bit. But suddenly he felt like he knew something he shouldn't know.

So he had to leave in a hurry with his people.

......

Dong Ah, like a sea god needle, calmed the military's heart of the Dao Academy. From beginning to end, he was calm and domineering.

Only Jiang Wang, who had been following Dong Ah from the small courtyard, noticed that his hand behind his back clenched into a fist at a certain moment.

The place "Xin'an City" was specifically mentioned, perhaps it hurt him.

It hurt this straightforward old man.
