When Wang Ye came out, Dusk Ridge was very quiet.
The Moon hung bright and high in the sky, shining coldly on everyone.
When they saw Wang Ye and the other two, Long Wu and the other members of the Qixing Investigation Corps were a little surprised.
Xiao Tao, who was about to leave, also paused, as if it was surprised too.
Only Ji Wuming’s expression did not change. He just looked at Chen He and Xia Wange quietly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Chen He and Xia Wange stood in front and looked at Ji Wuming. The former was the first to come forward and say, “Commander Ji, I represent the Dawn Bureau to take over this matter.”
“Why?” Ji Wuming was silent for a moment, “I know that you should have arrived long ago. Why did you only appear now?”
“The course of the matter is very complicated,” Chen He said indifferently, “It’s not as simple as you and I think. As the upper division of the National Investigation Corps, I think we have the right to take over this matter. As for the reason… The Dark Fog Cult hid a dark fog inductor in Xinghai Province. Our goal was to find him.”
“You think that the Dark Fog Cult is behind the demon sword, right? As of now, this dark fog inductor has been found. They indeed want to resurrect the demon sword and cause chaos in Xinghai Province. Unfortunately, their current plan has been completely destroyed.”
“By who?” Ji Wuming looked at Wang Ye, “Him?”
“That’s right,” Chen He nodded slightly, “As for senior divine sword… Let’s bury what happened back then. The cause of everything is no longer important. Back then, your demonic nature made you kill quite a few beastmasters. You’ve been carrying this crime for over a hundred years. Now that you’ve been resurrected, under normal circumstances, we won’t believe that you can control the demonic nature in your body.”
“However…” Speaking up to this point, Chen He looked at Wang Ye, “We believe him. Since you were resurrected by him, then with his help, I believe that the demonic nature in your body will never come out again.”
Wang Ye knew that Chen He was referring to the other personality in Xiao Tao’s body, the demonized one.
“So, this ends here,” Xia Wange looked at the divine sword, Xiao Tao, “As for your history, although there were some evil beastmasters back then who wanted you to take the blame, they were all killed by you long ago. You weren’t a demon sword, to begin with. It’s a pity that your demonic nature awakened back then and fused with you. You weren’t able to expel it either. As for your background, we do not intend to investigate it either. The Dark Fog Cult’s dark fog inductor has already disappeared, and we know who she is now. This information is enough for us.”
Xiao Tao snorted coldly and did not refute.
Ji Wuming stared at Wang Ye for a while before his gaze finally landed on Xiao Tao. The killing intent in his eyes disappeared, and he remained silent.
The Dawn Bureau was superior to the National Investigation Corps.
It was the “relevant department” as mentioned by the citizens. They had the right to take over everything related to the dark fog.
From the perspective of power, they had more authority than any investigation corps.
Especially the dark fog scholars.
They were a bunch of people with a mysterious profession that symbolized the hope of the country to fight against the dark fog. Their true strength was very terrifying.
“Wait,” Ji Wuming suddenly said, “I want to ask him a question.”
“What question?” Chen He frowned, “Commander Ji, you shouldn’t have any grudges with him. You have your responsibility. The remnants of the demon sword were indeed your responsibility, and it was indeed your duty to investigate the demon sword. But now that everything has come to an end, what else do you want to ask?”
“You have misunderstood,” Ji Wuming coughed, “I just want to ask him where he learned about Chiyu.”
“I refuse to answer,” Wang Ye said.
“…”
Chen He and Xia Wange looked at each other.
“If that’s the case, then…”
“Wait,” Wang Ye narrowed his eyes, “I also have a question, but this question is not just for you.”
“I know what you want to ask,” Ji Wuming took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “Your question should be about the rock dragon emperor in the Hidden Mysterious Realm, right?”
Wang Ye paused.
Yes, that was his question, but he didn’t expect that…
“I told you…” Ji Wuming said slowly, “I’ve been paying attention to you. You made caused a huge commotion in the Hidden Mysterious Realm and even met the rock dragon emperor. Although I don’t know what happened, since you even know about Chiyu, I’m sure you can get some information from the rock dragon emperor.”
“The rock dragon emperor was her companion back then,” Ji Wuming pointed at the divine sword Xiao Tao, “Back then, she demonized, and her companions were infected by the dark fog. I brought the rock dragon emperor out and wanted to kill it just in case. Later, it was left alive. With the rock dragon emperor as the core, a plan was carried out. I’m sure these two scholars know a thing or two about this plan.”
“Sovereign pet?” Chen He said in a low voice, “We do know a thing or two about this plan. A hundred years ago, the Qixing Investigation Corps said that it found a mysterious material that needs to be nurtured for many years. You said that it may allow our country to possibly nurture a sovereign pet, right?”
Supreme pet.
Currently, there were no supreme pets in Dongli.
Dongli’s beastmasters could only reach the deity rank and not the guru rank because they couldn’t nurture supreme pets.
Only those overseas had the chance to nurture supreme pets since they had their divine beast totems.
Wang Ye narrowed his eyes.
He naturally knew this.
