Ji Tianxing had been busy for half the night because of the matter in Moonfall Town.
When he returned to the City Lord's residence, it was already dawn.
The City Lord's residence was silent, and the guards were still on high alert.
The study in Yun Yao's residence was still lit with a dim yellow light.
She was still busy in the study, bending over the table to deal with official business as if she didn't know fatigue.
Ji Tianxing came to the door of the study. The guard guarding the door was about to bow to him, but he quickly gestured for him to keep quiet.
Then, he silently entered the study and quietly walked behind Yun Yao.
Yun Yao was still focused on reviewing the files and didn't notice his arrival at all.
He revealed a gentle smile and quietly reached out his arms to hug Yun Yao's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
Yun Yao was suddenly awakened. Her body stiffened and she instinctively wanted to fight back.
But she immediately reacted. After knowing that the person who came was Ji Tianxing, she immediately relaxed her vigilance.
"Tianxing, why are you here? What … are you doing? "
She turned to look at Ji Tianxing with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Ji Tianxing held her hands and rubbed his cheek against her pretty face. He smiled and said, "Yao Yao, you forget to rest when you're busy. My heart aches when I see you working so hard.
Tell me honestly, for the past half a month, have you been working like this every day? "
Yun Yao stammered in response. She felt touched and warm in her heart.
But she was smart and immediately saw through the clues. She stared at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Tianxing, did you also not sleep last night?
Where did you go last night? From the looks of it, you seem to have been in a hurry, and you even fought? "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile, "Yao Yao, I didn't expect that I couldn't hide this from you. You guessed right. I went to Moonfall Town last night. "
"Moonfall Town?" Yun Yao frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "That's a remote town furthest away from Yuejian City. What are you doing there in the middle of the night?"
Ji Tianxing didn't hide it from her. He said to her through his spiritual sense, "Yao Yao, I have a surprise for you. I just found it.
The Heaven Mending Pearl I obtained in the Buried Star Sea is a very mysterious divine item. Its effects are very strange!
This divine item has fused with my soul. Last night, it resonated with me and guided me to Moonset Town.
After I rushed to Moonfall Town, I discovered a black-robed man escaping from the town. He was even carrying an unconscious young warrior. "
Hearing this, Yun Yao immediately revealed a surprised expression, "The Heaven Mending Pearl actually has such a miraculous effect? That black-robed man is definitely from the Devil Race. He wants to plant Devil Gu on that young martial artist, right? "
Ji Tianxing smiled and shook his head, "I thought so too at first, but he isn't from the Devil Race.
After I chased him into a cave, I discovered that he was actually a Devil Gu Puppet that wanted to devour the young martial artist's flesh and soul … "
He told Yun Yao everything that had happened.
After Yun Yao heard this, she felt that it was inconceivable. Her clear eyes were filled with excitement.
"Tianxing, the Heaven Mending Pearl is actually so miraculous? It can even purify Devil Gu? "
"That's right!" Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a smile, "The Heaven Mending Pearl is an ancient divine item. No one knows how powerful it is or what other effects it has.
But what I can be sure of is that this divine item is most likely the nemesis of Devil Gu and the Devil Race!
Although the evolved Devil Gu is very powerful and the Devil Gu Puppet is very difficult to deal with, I have the Heaven Mending Pearl in my hands. I can quickly get rid of them! "
"That's great!" Yun Yao was also excited and said with a heart full of excitement, "Tianxing, if the Heaven Mending Pearl is really the nemesis of the Devil Race, we can quickly resolve the crisis of Yue Jian City.
The hundreds of thousands of people in Yue Jian City can finally be saved!
Not only the people of Yue Jian City, but also the people of the hundred cities in the Central State can finally escape the shadow of the Devil Gu! "
Ji Tianxing understood Yun Yao very well. He knew that she cared about the people and had already guessed that she would have such a reaction.
Because he and Yun Yao had many similarities.
This was also one of the reasons why they loved each other deeply, cherished and relied on each other.
He held Yun Yao's hands and said with a solemn tone, "Yao Yao, if the Heaven Mending Pearl is really the nemesis of the Devil Race, then of course everyone will be happy. We will have a way to deal with the Devil Gu.
But this is only my guess. I need your help to verify my guess. "
Yun Yao quickly asked, "How can I help you?"
Ji Tianxing said with a solemn expression, "Didn't you catch a lot of suspicious people and lock them in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion?"
Yun Yao nodded and said, "That's right. Those hundred or so people are all suspicious. But we can't determine who is the Devil Race in disguise, so we can only lock them up.
The truth is that among those hundred or so people, there are really some Devil Race in disguise.
Ever since I ordered those people to be locked up, there are no more Devil Race sowing Devil Gu in the city. "
Ji Tianxing revealed a playful smile and said, "Alright, take me to the dungeon now. I want to see those people.
If the Heaven Mending Pearl is really the nemesis of the Devil Race, maybe we can tell who is the Devil Race. "
Yun Yao revealed an expectant expression and nodded repeatedly, "That's reasonable! We can't tell who is the Devil Race in disguise, but the Heaven Mending Pearl can!
After we caught those hundred or so suspects, many of their family members and friends came to the City Lord's Mansion every day to plead for mercy, asking the City Lord's Mansion to release their loved ones.
But most of those people are the rich and powerful families in the city. City Lord Ye has to deal with those people every day, so he has long been annoyed and exhausted.
Tianxing, if you can tell who is innocent and who is the Devil Race, that would be great! "
After saying that, Yun Yao brought Ji Tianxing out of the study and walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the spacious but cold backyard, it seemed to be defenseless, but in fact, there were many hidden sentries.
The entrance to the dungeon was under a stone sculpture in the corner of the backyard, protected by the Tianyuan Array.
Yun Yao used a secret technique to open the array. A crack suddenly appeared on the base of the stone sculpture, and a door opened.
Behind the stone door was a dark passageway that led to the dungeon deep in the ground.
Yun Yao brought Ji Tianxing through the stone door and walked down the stone stairs.
After a quarter of an hour, the two people walked to the end of the passage and entered the dungeon.
The City Lord's Mansion's dungeon was very large, like an underground palace, divided into upper and lower levels.
Each level had two passageways. On both sides of the passageways were rows of prison cells.
The entrance to the dungeon and each passageway were heavily guarded. The security was very tight.
Furthermore, the entire dungeon was protected by the Tianyuan Array. Even if there was an earthquake or powerhouses fighting, it was impossible to destroy the dungeon.
