The door suddenly opened, and the doppelganger sneaked in.
Yiyi, who was cultivating beside Lu Ye, quickly opened her eyes. Under the moonlight, Lu Ye entered with a saber, raised a finger to his lips, and quickly closed the door.
Yiyi looked at the doppelganger in a daze, and then at Lu Ye.
She was dumbfounded! There were two Lu Yes!
More importantly, she had been with Lu Ye for so long, but she couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.
Hu Po, who had seen this scene during the day, was once again enraged. He turned around and hid behind Yiyi, covering his eyes with his claws.
The doppelganger sat cross-legged in front of Lu Ye. Lu Ye took the Mountain Plate Saber from him and pressed it on the doppelganger's chest, urging the power of his Talent Tree. The roots extended and stabbed into the doppelganger.
In the blink of an eye, the lifelike doppelganger turned into nothingness. The spiritual energy, vital energy, and even the broken root of the Talent Tree that had been consumed to condense the doppelganger were all taken back, leaving only a pile of clothes on the spot.
Lu Ye put them away.
When Lu Ye was done, Yiyi asked in surprise, "Lu Ye, Lu Ye, what's going on?"
Lu Ye naturally wouldn't hide it from her.
If there was one person in the world who knew all his secrets, it was undoubtedly Yiyi.
"This is a doppelganger technique, a new ability I comprehended."
"Why does it look like the real thing?" Yiyi exclaimed.
Lu Ye smiled. "In a sense, it's no different from the real thing."
"Amazing." Yiyi's eyes lit up. She grabbed Zhou Kui's arm and said coquettishly, "Let me use it again."
"That's fine." Zhou Kui agreed.
The main reason was that the newly formed doppelganger's body was completely naked, so it was too elegant to look at. Naturally, it could be used behind Yi Yi.
I casually found an excuse. "The consumption is small. I didn't have a chance to show it to him before."
Yiyi wasn't disappointed, but she still nodded obediently. "Okay."
"Cultivate." Zhou Kui patted her head.
As soon as he said that, Wei Ling didn't move. Zhou Kui's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly checked. There was no movement from Wei Ling, so there was only one possibility. The one who went down the peak did not receive the order to go up. That kind of thing was very slow.
After some investigation, I discovered that it was Qian Youdang who told me to immediately rush to the Law Department's small hall.
At that time, when he asked her to go to the small hall of the Law Department … Shu Lian vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Go out for a while!" Shu Lian said as she stood up and pushed the door open.
Many years later, Shu Lian stepped into the brightly lit Law Department's small hall. Gan Youdang stood outside with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. He was clearly waiting for me.
"I'm your humble servant." Zhou Kui cupped his fists.
"Yesterday, Nightingale reported that there were some strange movements on the Misty Cliff of Mt. Mi. It seems that there are no Ferocious Beasts there. Originally, the A7 Squad had accepted the mission during the day and was about to investigate the situation, but this incident delayed them."
Zhou Kui was naturally vague about what had happened. Could it be that the captain of Team A7, Ling Zhou, had been beaten up by some mysterious person? Then, he had come to the Law Division to slander him and was punished.
Now that the spirit boat should be recuperating for a few days, it would probably not be able to lead a team to carry out a mission in the near future.
"That's what I mean."
"It was originally an urgent matter. There are very few Ferocious Beasts in the four provinces, including the Military Province. Nightingale reported the situation clearly, so it didn't matter if it was delayed for a few days. But just now, Nightingale's Nest sent a message saying that Nightingale, who reported the situation, had contacted us."
Nightingale's Nest was an organization in the Law Department that was responsible for managing Nightingales in all regions. The information reported by Nightingales was also organized by Nightingale's Nest.
Zhou Kui had dealt with people from Nightingale's Nest before, because it was an organization directly under the head of the Law Department. If others interfered, it would be a crime. Some people even knew who were members of Nightingale's Nest.
Zhou Kui raised his eyebrows slightly. Nightingale had just discovered something normal, so she suddenly contacted us. Obviously, there was nothing abnormal.
"Is Nightingale alive or dead?"
"She's still alive for the time being."
It was very difficult to determine whether a person was alive or dead. It was easy to tell by looking at whether my mark on the battlefield had dissipated.
If Nightingale's mark hadn't dissipated, it meant that I was still alive.
"He doesn't have the ability to find people. It's best to leave that matter to him," Gan Youdang said.
Only then did Zhou Kui understand why I had chosen him when there were so few teams in the Law Department. It turned out that I wanted to look at his tracking disk.
Afterward, I had made up my mind to use the tracking disk to complete the mission as much as possible so that I wouldn't consume too little energy. However, things didn't go as I wished.
Furthermore, the reason why that mission fell into my hands was because I had found the source.
Originally, Team A7 had accepted the mission and was preparing to carry it out. However, when they were 200 meters away from Grand Sky City, the spirit boat was beaten up …
I didn't have any thoughts of rejecting the mission. After all, a mission was a mission, and there was no punishment if it was completed.
Although I had originally planned to let Seventh Senior and the others rest for two days less, since there was no mission, there was naturally a reason to rest.
"Make a trip and find Nightingale. Check on my situation. Also, check the fog cliff of Mount Mi. If there are no ferocious beasts, kill them!"
Zhou Kui accepted the order and asked, "What's Nightingale's name?"
Gan Youdang said a name, and Shu Lian silently noted it down.
I then said, "Pay attention to your surroundings. If you encounter a weak enemy, immediately send a message to you."
"Yes!"
"Go." Gan Youdang waved his hand.
Zhou Kui turned around and walked out of the small hall, quickly returning to his courtyard.
Landing in the courtyard, Zhou Kui said, "Everyone, there are no more missions."
The doors of Team A7's rooms were quickly opened, and figures rushed out.
Shu Liangui smiled. "So slow and there are no more missions?"
I roughly knew how the Enforcement Hall worked. Since there were no missions, it meant that there was no chance to obtain battle merits. For a new True Lake Realm guard like me, battle merits naturally weren't what I lacked.
"Captain, what mission?" Feng Yuechan asked.
Normally, you would call Shu Lian Junior Martial Brother Lu. Now that she was a member of Team A4, Feng Yuechan quickly adjusted her position and learned from Lin Yinxiu to call Zhou Kui captain.
"Let's talk as we walk." Zhou Kui summoned Shu Lian, who was specially prepared for the team.
Everyone stepped down slowly. Under Lin Yinxiu's control, the leaf charged through the night sky and turned into a stream of light.
Under Lu Ye, Shu Lian looked at the ten-point map while explaining the content of the mission.
Chen Tianchui was shocked. "Mist Cliff?" Zhou Kui looked up at me. "Seventh Senior Martial Brother, you know that place?"
Chen Tianchui smiled. "That place is about a thousand kilometers away from Pill Heart Sect. Technically speaking, it's under Pill Heart Sect's jurisdiction. There's no Chen Family outside. They're Pill Heart Sect's upper sect, and their ancestors used to be Pill Heart Sect's disciples."
What a coincidence.
"Senior Martial Brother, you don't know much about Mist Cliff?"
Chen Tianchui shook his head. "I've been there before, but I know too much about it." I turned to look at Feng Yuechan. "Chan 'er, do you know?"
Feng Yuechan said, "You heard from my mother that Mist Cliff is called Mist Cliff because it's covered in thick fog all year round. It's so deep that you can't see the bottom. My mother said that there's nothing weird about the thick fog. It seems to be able to block Divine Sense. Hence, even Divine Sea Realm experts are willing to retreat to this place. In the early years, no Divine Sea Realm cultivators infiltrated this place to investigate, but they didn't find any places to go up. It's possible that there aren't any beasts living here."
"If there aren't any beasts living here, then it's definitely too bad. It's just a small trip," Zhou Kui said.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
Zhou Kui took out the tracking disk that he had bought from the War Merit Pavilion. He was about to use it to check Nightingale's exact location when Wei Ling didn't respond.
Zhou Kui quickly checked. A moment later, he looked like he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xinghe asked.
"Nightingale contacted him. I heard that he's at a critical moment in his cultivation. He replied soon."
That saved him a tracking disk. It was a good thing.
Now that Nightingale had contacted him, this matter was easy to handle. When they arrived, they just needed to contact Nightingale and investigate the Mist Cliff. They could find any beasts that might exist here and kill them.
Lu Ye's speed was still very slow. The team was now full. They had to take turns and stop all the way.
In less than a day, they arrived at Mt. Mi.
"This isn't Mist Cliff." Feng Yuechan pointed up.
Zhou Kui looked down and saw the thick fog rolling above. He could see seven fingers if he stretched out his hand. Even the scorching sun could penetrate the fog. It was indeed amazing.
"Go up," Zhou Kui ordered.
Feng Yuechan, who was riding Lu Ye, immediately controlled Shu Lian to go up.
After a while, the eight of them appeared at the edge of the Mist Cliff. Zhou Kui had already sent Wei Ling a message and was waiting for Nightingale to come.
At the same time, dozens of miles away, in the Chen Clan.
In a small hall, the Chen Clan Patriarch, Li Baxian, sat still as if waiting for something.
The Chen Clan's grade was low, only reaching the Eighth Grade. It was much worse than the Immortal Dawn Mountain that Zhou Kui had been to before.
As the Patriarch of the Chen Clan, Li Baxian's cultivation was mediocre, not even reaching the Fourth-Order True Lake Realm. His cultivation could not be considered the weakest above the Divine Sea Realm.
Little Elder Chen Lie hurried over and cupped his fists, "Patriarch, Nightingale sent a message. The people from the Law Enforcement Hall are here."
Li Baxian nodded lightly, "The Law Enforcement Hall's actions are sometimes slow. Since they're here, act according to the plan. Let us watch a good show and send us away quickly."
"Yes." Chen Lie responded and sent a message out.
Shu Lian snorted, "They're so careless. They actually let a big Nightingale notice. If it weren't for the High Lord not having any means to stop them, I'm afraid they would have ended up in trouble!"
Chen Lie said, "They haven't been rewarded yet. These are all useful things. They'll do it again in the past."
"It's best if they don't have a past. Otherwise, if the High Lord blames them, no one will be able to bear it!" Li Baxian said angrily, but he didn't feel any heartache, "The High Lord's methods have no limits. It's a waste to use them on a Nightingale!"
Our matters were intentionally exposed by a Nightingale. The Chen Clan could only quickly capture Nightingale, but they didn't dare to kill her. The main reason was that once Nightingale died, the Law Division would definitely investigate to the end. At that time, the Chen Clan would be able to get away with it. They could only use the methods left behind by the High Lord.
