More than a hundred suspects were locked up on the first floor of the dungeon.
There were two hundred cells on the first floor of the dungeon, and they were almost all occupied by these people.
Ji Tianxing wanted to check the people in each cell one by one. He wouldn't wrongly accuse an innocent person, but he wouldn't let go of a single devil either.
He brought Yun Yao and the guard commander along the passage and started to check.
The guard commander opened the door of the first cell. He stepped into the cell first and looked at the imprisoned person with a dignified gaze.
In the cold and dark cell, there was a young man wearing a long brocade robe. He was chained to the wall with cold iron chains, and his hands and feet were shackled.
This person had been imprisoned for half a month. His mental state was a little sluggish, and his emotions were very agitated.
Seeing Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao enter the secret cell, this person immediately struggled and shouted with an urgent tone, "Master, I'm innocent! Let me go, I beg you, let me go quickly! "
Yun Yao was silent and didn't say anything. She quietly looked at Ji Tianxing and waited for his answer.
Ji Tianxing stared at the young man expressionlessly. He used the Pure Heart Dharma Eye to check his aura and used the power of the Heaven Mending Orb to observe his soul.
This person's aura was normal, and his soul didn't have any abnormalities. The Heaven Mending Orb also didn't have any abnormal reaction.
Therefore, Ji Tianxing brought Yun Yao and the guard commander away and entered the second cell.
The person imprisoned in this cell was a middle-aged man.
Ji Tianxing carefully observed for a while and didn't find any abnormalities.
Then, he checked the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth cells one after another.
The people imprisoned in each cell were different. There were old and young, men and women, aristocrats and commoners.
But when they saw Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao, they would emotionally shout that they were innocent, or cry and beg for mercy.
Ji Tianxing used the Pure Heart Dharma Eye to observe while using the Heaven Mending Orb to check their souls.
However, he did not find anything unusual even after checking the people in a few cells.
Yun Yao was a little worried and secretly transmitted her voice to him, "Tianxing, could it be that the devil race's disguise technique is so brilliant that even the Heaven Mending Bead can't see through it?
Or is it that the Heaven Mending Pearl can only sense the aura of demonic insects, but not the aura of devils? "
Ji Tianxing did not bat an eyelid. He calmly comforted her, "Yao Yao, don't worry. There are more than a hundred people in the prison, and only a few of them are demons in disguise.
Be patient and wait, I believe the Heaven Mending Orb will not disappoint us. "
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
The guard commander opened 24 cells in a row, and Ji Tianxing also checked 24 suspects in a row.
In the end, everyone was normal and no abnormalities were found.
When Ji Tianxing stepped into the twenty-fifth cell, an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
In this dark and gloomy cell, there was a middle-aged man dressed in a sapphire blue robe, dressed like a wealthy merchant.
This person had oily hair and a powdered face. He was stout and had a few precious gemstone rings on his fingers. He looked quite noble.
Even though he was chained up with cold iron chains and his hands and feet were shackled, he did not look disheveled at all. He looked very calm and graceful.
Seeing Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao enter the cell, this person did not cry or beg for mercy. He calmly said, "Two sirs, I have already said it countless times. This one is a merchant through and through. I have always been doing business honestly. It is impossible for me to have anything to do with the devil race.
Two sirs, you have already locked me up for so long. How are you going to deal with me? You have to give me an explanation, right? This one still has a wife and children to take care of … … "
The middle-aged merchant's bearing was calm and steady. He was not anxious at all. His words were also very pertinent, making people not doubt him at all.
However, after Ji Tianxing observed him for a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a cold smile.
"How can a beast like you, who is worse than a pig and a dog, be worthy of a wife and children?"
When his cold laughter sounded, Yun Yao was startled for a moment, but she immediately understood what he meant.
The middle-aged merchant's body stiffened. His face was immediately filled with anger. He angrily shouted, "This sire, no matter who you are, you should not insult me like this!
I am a cloth merchant in the city. Everyone in the streets and alleys knows my background. How can you accuse me of nothing?
No matter who you are, if you want to slander me, you have to show evidence. Otherwise, I want to see the City Lord and let City Lord Ye be the judge! "
Seeing him refute with such righteous words, Ji Tianxing's cold smile deepened.
The guard leader hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Ji Tianxing, "Young Master Ji, this is the cloth merchant, Lord Du. He is a famous philanthropist in our city. Every year, he gives out porridge and food to the poor people in the villages and towns.
Moreover, Lord Du and City Lord Ye are old friends. He has donated a lot of food and money to the City Lord Manor. You see … "
The guard leader's words were obviously reminding Ji Tianxing that this Lord Du was a good person. He should not wrongly accuse him.
Moreover, Lord Du and City Lord Ye were good friends. He hoped that Ji Tianxing would give City Lord Ye some face and not embarrass Lord Du too much.
Ji Tianxing turned his head to look at the guard leader. With a smile that was not a smile, he said, "So, you are pleading for him? Or, do you want to guarantee his innocence? "
"This subordinate does not dare!" The guard leader was shocked. He knelt down in fear and trepidation, afraid that Ji Tianxing would offend him.
Ji Tianxing ignored him and looked straight at Lord Du. He sneered, "Hehe, the Demon Clan's methods are getting better and better. Your acting skills are really amazing!
However, this is useless in front of me!
You want me to show evidence? Fine! "
As his voice fell, he stepped in front of Lord Du and suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"Swoosh!"
He activated the power of the Heaven Mending Pearl and released a mysterious white light that enveloped Lord Du's body.
Instantly, Lord Du was wrapped tightly in the white light.
The mysterious white light surged like a rising flame, releasing a mysterious and powerful force.
Lord Du's entire body trembled. His brows furrowed and he let out a painful groan. He growled, "Brat, what are you trying to do?
You have no evidence at all and slandered me. You even dare to use torture on me? "
Ji Tianxing did not speak. He moved his right hand to control the mysterious white light and purify Lord Du's body.
Instantly, Lord Du's body changed and actually started to twist and contort.
His clothes were normal but his body looked like it was being roasted. It was purplish black and emitted wisps of black fog.
That rising black fog was not unfamiliar to everyone. It was the Demonic Qi unique to the Demon Clan!
When the Demonic Qi continuously appeared, Lord Du's body twitched and contorted as he let out heart-wrenching screams.
In just a few breaths, his body began to crack and expand, growing to a height of more than three meters.
In the blink of an eye, he turned from a potbellied human man into a three-meter tall Demon Clan man with a purplish black body!
No matter how miraculous his disguise was or how deeply he hid the Demon Clan's true body, it could not resist the purification of the Heaven Mending Pearl!
Under the sacred white light, his Demonic Qi was quickly purified and he immediately revealed his true appearance!
When Yun Yao saw this, her clear eyes revealed a gratified smile.
Reality proved that Ji Tianxing's guess was right. The Heaven Mending Pearl was really the Demon Clan's nemesis!
When the guard commander saw this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
When he regained his senses, he was so scared that his face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to Ji Tianxing to beg for mercy.
"Please forgive me, Young Master Ji! This subordinate was confused for a moment, please spare my life!
