Gu Yue was stunned by Lan Xiaobu's words. In his heart, he thought, "So I only wanted you to be the scapegoat. I didn't expect that you were the one who created this scapegoat." You really have guts. A mere Grade 1 immortal dared to do such a thing. I really don't know how you managed to survive till today.
He was laughing coldly in his heart. However, he said faintly, "Oh, so you should have found something?"
Lan Xiaobu hurriedly said, "Back then, the situation was urgent. You and the four minor immortals weren't in the Forbidden Immortals Department. I could only act according to the situation and make the decision. I should have immediately returned to report to the great immortal, but I had been following that Ju Xiuruo. I didn't dare to casually pass the news to the ordinary immortals. I could only wait until I found something today before hurrying back to report this matter. "
The great immortal, Gu Yue, was definitely not there. Lan Xiaobu didn't even know if the four minor immortals were there. Even if he said something wrong, he could just say that he wasn't sure.
"You were following Ju Xiuruo?" Gu Yue frowned slightly. No matter what the outcome was, he wouldn't be bothered by a small case like Ju Xiuruo. No matter what Lan Xiaobu said today, he would still be guilty.
Lan Xiaobu answered, "Yes, because I was following Ju Xiuruo, I found out that the Xi Mu City Square case was actually related to her."
"What?" Gu Yue was shocked. He looked at Lan Xiaobu in shock, "You're saying that you found a lead to the Xi Mu City Square case?"
Before Lan Xiaobu could answer, a flying messenger sword landed in Gu Yue's hand. Gu Yue's spiritual will landed on the flying messenger sword. The words on it were simple, "The fugitive from the Forbidden Immortals Department, Ju Xiuruo, entered Xi Mu City Square and disappeared."
She was really related? Gu Yue was ecstatic. The Forbidden Immortals Department case had already left him in a terrible fix. If he wasn't able to solve this case in the shortest time possible, not only would his position as a great immortal come to an end, he would also have to take the blame for his superiors. Originally, he didn't believe Lan Xiaobu's words, but Ju Xiuruo's appearance in Ximu's marketplace made him feel that perhaps Lan Xiaobu was really just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
"Quick, tell me about Ju Xiuruo's case in detail," Gu Yue said anxiously.
He didn't care about Ju Xiuruo's case at all. Whether or not Lan Xiaobu was casting a long line to catch a big fish, it was the same in his eyes.
But things were different now. Once Ju Xiuruo's case was linked to Ximu City, it meant that there was a case to be made.
Dozens of immortals and two minor immortals had gone missing in Ximu Market, but as a great immortal, he had no clue at all. It could be said that he was extremely useless. As for whether what Lan Xiaobu said was true or false, he believed that he could judge it himself.
Lan Xiaobu said, "Yes, Gu Xian Si. When I went to check the prison, I felt that something was wrong with Ju Xiuruo. She seemed to be hiding something in her eyes. Thus, I didn't stand on ceremony and scanned her body with my Divine Sense. What I didn't expect was that this woman was actually able to unlock her own chains … "
"How did she unlock it?" Gu Yue frowned. If Ju Xiuruo's spiritual essence bone was chained and sealed, she wouldn't be able to unlock the chains.
Lan Xiaobu explained, "Although this woman's storage ring was taken away, she still has a very good flame. This flame should be hidden in her sea of consciousness."
"She has a flame?" Gu Yue's eyes revealed some regret. If he had obtained this flame, he would definitely have reached new heights. What a pity. An ant actually had a flame. Immediately, he started to get angry. This immortal in front of him knew that this woman had a flame but didn't report it to him.
Lan Xiaobu continued, "When I found out that this woman actually had an immortal flame, I immediately wanted to report it to the great immortal. This woman is merely a prisoner. What right does she have to have a flame? A treasure like an immortal flame can only be used by people in my Forbidden Immortal Department. "
Although he didn't specifically say that only the great immortal should have it, Lan Xiaobu's meaning was very clear.
Gu Yue nodded. Not bad, it was good to have such thoughts.
Lan Xiaobu sighed and said, "Unfortunately, you weren't there. Not only were you not there, the other immortal priests weren't there either. Just as I was thinking of how to deal with this, that woman said, 'I have recovered my immortal elemental energy and spiritual will. If you dare to report it, I will immediately attack you and kill you.' "
Hearing this, Gu Yue decided to give his communication bead imprint to Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu said with some shame, "To be honest, this junior is a little afraid of death. This junior was only in the early Xuan Immortal Stage. That woman seemed to be a Xuan Immortal too. It's just that this junior only had cultivation. This bit of cultivation was accumulated through pills. My strength was very weak. I might not even be able to beat a Great Circle Golden Immortal. If we were to fight, that woman would definitely be able to kill this junior in the shortest time possible. Although this junior is afraid of death, I know that as an immortal cao, there are some things that I have to do. "
"If you were to fight back then, she shouldn't have been a match for you. Her spiritual essence bones have been sealed for such a long time. Her strength wouldn't have recovered so quickly, "Gu Yue said. He was still very satisfied. When Lan Xiaobu said that he was afraid of death, he referred to himself as a junior. Even though it was just a small detail, it was enough to show that this Tier 1 immortal cao still had a heart of reverence. Moreover, he hoped that Mo Wuji wouldn't mind this Tier 1 immortal cao's fear of death.
Lan Xiaobu said awkwardly, "If I knew this, I would have tried it. At this moment, that woman took out an array token and told me that as long as I let her go, she would give me this array token. This array token can activate a transfer array in Xi Mu City Square. That transfer array even has a flame … "
"There's a flame?" Gu Yue got excited. What he lacked the most was flames.
Lan Xiaobu nodded, "Yes, that woman said that there's a flame. However, I haven't gone over yet. I've heard a little about what happened in Xi Mu City Square. However, I don't dare to go over alone. After I heard the news, I hurried back to report this. "
Gu Yue calmed down, "Continue."
Lan Xiaobu continued, "I don't dare to let her go because of a flame. Moreover, I don't have the ability to let her go. At this moment, she said that even if I don't let her go, she would definitely be fine. She said that she's King Jing's woman … "
Gu Yue frowned as he looked at Lan Xiaobu, "She's King Jing's woman?"
He was slightly suspicious. If Ju Xiu was King Jing's woman, why would she be captured by the two Xuan Immortals from the Immortal Forbidden Department?
Lan Xiaobu said, "I don't really believe it either. Then, she said that she's only responsible for King Jing. Because she wants to cultivate an immortal herb for King Jing, she wasn't willing to say what it was. She only told me that besides her, King Jing and a few others, no one else would know about this immortal herb. The reason why King Jing hasn't come to the Immortal Forbidden Department is definitely because he's tied up with other matters. "
Gu Yue nodded, "That's right. King Jing has indeed been unable to leave recently. Not only can he not leave, but he can't even receive or send any messages. "
Gu Yue knew about this. When the Ascension Star Immortal Court's biggest mystic realm opened, King Jing entered it. This mystic realm was unable to send or receive messages.
Lan Xiaobu was just about to say that King Jing had already sent a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Teng Yi over. However, when he heard Gu Yue's words, he decided to skip this part.
"I see." Lan Xiaobu said in realization, "Although I had my suspicions, I didn't dare to casually deal with King Jing's matters. She also said that she had a Class 7 Immortal Breaking Array Flag. Thus, I agreed to let her leave. Then, I secretly hid outside the Immortal Forbidden Department and followed her. Although I'm very weak, my Spiritual Will Imprint technique is not bad. Moreover, my Spiritual Will Imprint can follow a path … "
"Oh, then show me the next one." Gu Yue was very interested.
Lan Xiaobu immediately placed a Spiritual Will Imprint on Gu Yue. This Spiritual Will Imprint wasn't even a tenth of his standard. The only advantage was that this Spiritual Will Imprint could let Lan Xiaobu know Gu Yue's path for a short period of time.
"Not bad, not bad." Gu Yue lifted his hand to remove the Spiritual Will Imprint on his body. He was very satisfied. This Lan Xiaobu was a talent. Just this Spiritual Will Imprint was worthy of his attention. This ability would definitely be very useful in the Immortal Forbidden Department.
Lan Xiaobu was also very happy as he continued, "That Ju Xiuruo indeed didn't discover my Spiritual Will Imprint. Thus, I continued to follow Ju Xiuruo. In the end, I discovered that she actually entered Ximu City Square. Although I didn't dare to follow her into Ximu City Square, I remembered the path she took in Ximu City Square. "
"You know the path she took in Ximu City Square?" Gu Yue had heard too much good news today.
The reason why he was fine was because he didn't dare to enter Ximu City Square. There were more than one or two Immortal Kings that went missing in Ximu City Square. Even if he was at the peak of the Immortal King Stage, he was still an Immortal King.
Lan Xiaobu said with certainty, "Yes, I will definitely remember it."
"Alright, follow me to Ximu City Square now." Gu Yue didn't want to wait any longer.
Lan Xiaobu said, "I'm not done."
"It's okay, tell me on the way." Gu Yue excitedly brought Lan Xiaobu out of the Immortal Forbidden Department.
This Lan Xiaobu was smart and capable. He was also very experienced. He could be nurtured as a trusted aide. There were many cases in the Immortal Forbidden Department that couldn't be solved. If Lan Xiaobu could solve the difficult case in Ximu City Square, he would definitely promote Lan Xiaobu.
Outside the Immortal Forbidden Department, Jin Buqiao's eyes widened when he saw Gu Yue's happy expression. He even wanted to rub his eyes. Didn't he throw Lan Xiaobu into the dungeon and ask him to give him a record of Lan Xiaobu's release of prisoners?
Why did it seem like the Great Immortal Priest and Lan Xiaobu had a pretty good relationship? Could it be that he didn't understand something?
Gu Yue brought out a high grade flying ship. After Lan Xiaobu boarded the flying ship, he thought to himself: This is the Great Immortal Priest of the Immortal Forbidden Department. Isn't he using a high grade flying immortal treasure like me? This flying immortal treasure wasn't even comparable to my high grade flying immortal treasure.
