When Lan Xiaobu left the fifth floor's archive room, he felt that the Immortal King at the door was looking at him strangely. It was as though his main objective had been seen clearly by the other party.
Lan Xiaobu hurriedly bid farewell and went downstairs. If his attention to Ju Xiuruo's case was discovered, then it wouldn't be good. However, Lan Xiaobu believed that his actions were still considered secretive. He had looked through tens of files, so he didn't believe that the other party would know that he was investigating Ju Xiuruo.
"I want to go to the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn to handle a case. Which immortal guard is willing to come with me?" Lan Xiaobu called out when he arrived at the first floor.
Lan Xiaobu knew the difference between immortal guards and immortal guards. Even though immortal guards weren't dangerous, they were far from being immortal guards. Only immortal guards had the qualifications to go out and make a fortune. Moreover, only immortal guards had the opportunity to advance. Therefore, any immortal guard would yearn to become an immortal guard. In other words, immortal guards were assistants, while immortal guards were official police officers.
In Lan Xiaobu's eyes, as long as he shouted, a large group of people would immediately ask to go with him. Then, he would choose one.
However, the reality of the situation made Lan Xiaobu feel very awkward. He shouted for a long time, but no one came out.
Lan Xiaobu only needed to think for a moment to understand what was going on. Immortal guards could indeed be promoted. For example, he was promoted by Guang Li. However, not all immortal guards were valuable. He had just joined the Immortal Guard for a day, so he clearly didn't have much value in the Forbidden Immortal Department.
Many immortal guards could clearly see that following Lan Xiaobu wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being an immortal guard. Moreover, there were unspoken rules for immortal guards to follow immortal guards. As an immortal guard, if you followed one immortal guard today, and another immortal guard tomorrow, you would definitely be the least valued one. To an immortal guard, choosing an immortal guard to follow was the most important thing.
Lan Xiaobu sighed. It seemed like he could only go to the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn by himself. There was actually no difference between the Immortal World and the Mortal World. Everyone spoke based on their own interests.
"Big Brother Xiao Bu, can I go with you?" A somewhat unconfident voice sounded. Lan Xiaobu saw that the one speaking was one of the immortal guards.
If immortal guards were divided into grades, then the immortal guard guarding the door would definitely be the lowest grade.
"Of course, let's go. By the way, what's your name? "Lan Xiaobu asked immediately.
This immortal guard was not tall and had an extremely ordinary appearance. His immortal essence was ordinary and his cultivation was around the late stage of the True Immortal Realm.
"Thank you, Big Brother Xiao Bu. My name is Zhong Yi." The immortal guard said excitedly.
When the immortal guard was called away by Lan Xiaobu, the person in charge of guarding the gate would automatically arrange for someone else to take over.
.....
"Zhong Yi, do you know anything about the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn?" Lan Xiaobu asked after leaving the Forbidden Immortal Department.
After leaving the Forbidden Immortal Department, Zhong Yi seemed to have grown bolder, "Big Brother Xiao Bu, I came from the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn and I'm still staying there."
Hearing that Zhong Yi was staying at the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn, Lan Xiaobu was elated. He hurried to ask about the situation at the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn.
After Zhong Yi's introduction, Lan Xiaobu had a rough understanding of the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn. This was a decent residential area for immortals and it was not too far from Wumu City Square. This reminded Lan Xiaobu of the Wumu City Square case that Gong Liangye mentioned previously.
In just half a day, the two of them arrived at the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn.
There was a Grade 3 Spirit Gathering Immortal Array installed here which was not too bad. From time to time, there would be flying ships flying in and out of the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn. From the sounds of cultivation, there should not be any experts here.
"Let's go to Xi Tu's Clan to take a look at the crime scene." Lan Xiaobu was not here to solve the case. He was also here to be a bystander. After this bystander was done, he would go to the underground prison to take a look around. His main purpose was to understand Ju Xiuruo's case.
Xi Tu's residence was easy to find. It was almost at the centre of the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn.
Before Lan Xiaobu reached Xi Tu's residence, his spiritual will sensed a defensive array. This should be an array to protect the crime scene.
Regardless, since he was already here, Lan Xiaobu naturally had to go in and take a look at the situation.
Because Lan Xiaobu was here on behalf of the Immortal Exclusion Department, besides him and Zhong Yi, the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn's Immortal Armor Official Zhong Zhian was also accompanying them.
After entering the defensive array, Lan Xiaobu saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground. There was a bloody hole in his forehead. From the looks of it, his forehead was injured and his primordial spirit was destroyed before he was killed.
"Where's Shangguan Qian?" Lan Xiaobu asked casually.
Immortal Armor Official Zhong Zhian hurriedly said, "After Xi Tu was killed, Shangguan Qian managed to escape with her life because she had a good defensive treasure. Now, she doesn't dare to stay in the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn and has returned to the Shangguan Immortal Clan. "
Needless to say, Lan Xiaobu knew that the Shangguan Immortal Clan was definitely not a small immortal cultivation family. This made Lan Xiaobu a little puzzled. How did Shangguan Qian, who came from a large immortal cultivation family, become Xi Tu's Dao partner?
Xi Tu was obviously a small figure without any background. It was obvious from the way his case was treated.
In fact, in the Immortal World, the concept of hierarchy was much more important than in the mortal world. If one did not come from a good background and had ordinary aptitude, it would be very difficult to have a Dao partner from a large immortal cultivation family.
Lan Xiaobu had seen Shangguan Qian's appearance on the array formation screen before. She was definitely a beauty.
Although he guessed that the Shangguan Immortal Clan was not small, Lan Xiaobu still asked, "Immortal Armor Zhong, what about the Shangguan Immortal Clan?"
Upon hearing Lan Xiaobu's question, Zhong Zhian's eyes were filled with puzzlement. However, he quickly answered, "The Shangguan Immortal Clan is one of the top ten immortal cultivation families of the North River Immortal Protector Manor. Their strength is far from what the small Hundred Streams Immortal Horn can compare to."
Lan Xiaobu knew what he was puzzled about. He definitely did not understand why he did not even know about the Shangguan Immortal Clan.
A woman from one of the top ten immortal cultivation families of the North River Immortal Protector Manor was living in the Hundred Streams Immortal Horn. Not only had her Dao partner been killed, but she had also been seriously injured. Under such circumstances, the Shangguan Immortal Clan did not say anything. Lan Xiaobu would definitely not believe that this matter had nothing to do with Shangguan Qian.
This was not something that a small immortal like him could intervene. Just as Lan Xiaobu was about to leave, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. Although Xi Tu had been dead for a few months, the Dao runes around his body had not completely dissipated. These Dao runes gave Lan Xiaobu a sense of familiarity.
Lan Xiaobu frowned slightly. He used his Immortal Essence and Xi Tu had already flipped over. Lan Xiaobu placed his finger on the wound between Xi Tu's eyebrows and the Dao runes became even clearer.
The 'Second Dao Law'?
Very soon, Lan Xiaobu was sure that Xi Tu was cultivating the second Dao Law. In other words, Xi Tu had recently cultivated the second Dao Law. After Lan Xiaobu sensed the aura of the Dao runes of the second Dao Law, he did not hesitate to let the Universe Dimensional Model construct the Dao runes of the space around Xi Tu.
He had given the second Dao Law to Liu Li. Because Liu Li had learned the second Dao Law, Lan Xiaobu could sense that familiar Dao rune aura.
Besides Liu Li, there were also a few experts from the West Kunlun Party who had learned the second Dao Law. Lan Xiaobu suspected that the second Dao Law here might have been lost by Liu Li. This was because the West Kunlun Party was in Yuan Continent.
Back when the Five Universe Immortal World merged, that expert had clearly said that the world would be divided according to cultivation level. The reason why he could appear in the Nangwei Immortal Domain was because he had come to the Grand Desolate World of the Nine Heavens. Yuan Continent was different. Yuan Continent would definitely be divided into a low level cultivation world. Therefore, people from Yuan Continent who had cultivated the 'Second Dao Law' shouldn't appear in the Five Universe Immortal World.
Taking a step back, even if people from Yuan Continent who had cultivated the 'Second Dao Law' appeared in the Five Universe Immortal World, this place was the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain. It didn't even belong to the Five Universe Immortal World. Since that was the case, it was even more impossible for Yuan Continent cultivators to appear.
When Liu Li helped him obtain the Seven Notes Halberd, she was swept away by the void transfer. Back then, Lan Xiaobu always thought that Liu Li had been transferred to the Nine Heavens, which was the Grand Desolate Universe that he was in. But now, it seemed like Liu Li might not have been sent to the Grand Desolate Universe, but to this Mo Xuan Immortal Domain.
If Liu Li appeared in the Mo Xuan Immortal Domain, then everything would make sense. Liu Li's' Second Dao Law 'had been snatched away. Liu Li was definitely doomed.
Of course, there was a small possibility that the dao ripples of this second Dao Law came from another lineage.
Lan Xiaobu inhaled deeply. He looked at Zhong Yi and asked, "Zhong Yi, are you willing to stay by my side and be my follower?"
Immortal Cao of the Immortal Forbidden Department could have immortal guards following him. That meant that they were his trusted aides. The moment an immortal guard became an immortal cao's trusted aide, he could only follow the immortal cao to the end. If an immortal cao got rich, you would get rich too. If an immortal cao was suppressed, you would definitely not be able to survive.
There were many immortal guards in the Immortal Forbidden Department who became an immortal cao's follower. However, they were all immortal cao with a bright future. For example, Guang Li, who had a bright future, had many immortal guards who were willing to become his follower. However, Guang Li was used to partnering with Jian Xuanming, so he wasn't willing to follow an immortal guard.
Zhong Yi was startled. Then, he said loudly, "Big Brother Xiao Bu, I am willing to become your immortal guard and work hard with you."
Lan Xiaobu patted Zhong Yi. Then, he said to Zhong Zhian, "Immortal Jia Zhong, Xi Tu's case is a little special. Someone found me and told me that as long as I found clear evidence of Xi Tu's murder, I would be given a Mystic Breaking Pill. "
If Zhong Yi wasn't willing to become his follower, Lan Xiaobu would definitely send him away. If Zhong Yi became his immortal guard, he would be one of his own.
"What?" Zhong Zhian was shocked. He looked at Lan Xiaobu in disbelief.
The Mystic Breaking Pill was something he yearned for even in his dreams. He had been in the late-stage Golden Immortal Realm for many years. If he had a Mystic Breaking Pill, he would have a chance to step out of the Golden Immortal Realm and advance to the Mystic Immortal Realm. Once he reached the Mystic Immortal Realm, he would have many places to go in the Jiang Yan Immortal Dao.
When he heard about the Mystic Breaking Pill, Zhong Yi revealed an envious expression. Although he was only in the late-stage Perfected Immortal Realm, the Mystic Breaking Pill was something he could use in the future.
Zhong Zhian's expression changed a few times. Then, he raised his hand to set up a few soundproof restrictions. Then, he cupped his fists and said to Lan Xiaobu, "Immortal Cao, I will tell you everything I know. You can decide if it is valuable or not. Immortal Cao, please don't reveal that I am the one who said this. "
Lan Xiaobu said firmly, "Immortal Jia Zhong, don't worry. Confidentiality is the number one requirement of the Immortal Forbidden Department. As an immortal guard of the Immortal Forbidden Department, I definitely won't leak any information. "
