He Yan’s calm voice sounded like the terrifying ghost of Death himself to Luo Jinghe.

"What do you Profound Bird Guard want to do!"

"What crimes has this official committed!"

Luo Jinghe panicked, lost his composure, and set up a defiant posture.

"Does the Prefect know that you are here to arrest me?"

"My father was Prince An’s teacher and is still the Censor of Anzhou!"

"You Profound Bird Guard have no evidence, dare put your hands on me!"

With just two sentences, He Yan terrified Luo Jinghe out of his wits.

Luo Jinghe even exposed all his family background, just to remind He Yan that he had a huge backing.

If there was no evidence, even the Profound Bird Guard could not arrest him without scruple.

"Luo Jinghe, come with me obediently and spare yourself the pain."

The next second, Luo Jinghe unleashed a terrifying blood energy, causing the ground beneath him to break inch by inch.

The aura of the Blood Refining Realm perfected!

"Hmph!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

To this strong blood energy, He Yan paid no heed, directly flew forward, his hand claw-like, reaching toward Luo Jinghe.

Luo Jinghe resisted He Yan’s thought, but he ran towards the lake, attempting to escape.

However, his reputedly fast speed was insignificant before a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm.

Before Luo Jinghe reached the shore, a strong hand instantly gripped Luo Jinghe’s shoulder.

Immediately, that hand squeezed forcefully, its five fingers sharp as blades plunging into Luo Jinghe’s flesh.

Luo Jinghe, in pain, wanted to turn back and strike He Yan.

A powerful aura from He Yan’s hand crazily surged into Luo Jinghe’s body.

Luo Jinghe’s blood energy seemed to encounter a fierce flood beast.

Where He Yan’s Inner Qi reached, Luo Jinghe’s whole body’s blood energy was shattered and scattered.

Seeing Luo Jinghe’s blood energy being utterly destroyed without resistance, He Yan coldly spoke.

"Come along with me!"

Profound Bird Guard Mansion!

"What are you Profound Bird Guard after, Huang Shi wasn’t killed by me, you need to provide evidence."

"Otherwise, my father won’t spare you, neither will Prince An."

"Don’t think your Profound Bird Guard can conceal the sky with one hand!"

At this time, Luo Jinghe was imprisoned in a secret underground jail.

Inside the iron cell, Luo Jinghe’s limbs were shackled by specially-made chains of the Profound Bird Guard.

Outside the iron door, two elder Profound Bird Guards sat by a wooden table, quietly enjoying tea.

As for Luo Jinghe’s threatening words, they seemed not to hear.

These two had guarded the Profound Bird Guard’s dungeon for countless years.

To those incessantly chattering upon entering the dungeon, they were no longer surprised.

In a short while, two figures emerged from the distant dungeon passage.

The arriving person was indeed He Yan.

"You two can leave!"

The two guards upon seeing He Yan, respectfully stood up.

"Yes, Vice Envoy!"

After those two left, He Yan’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.

"Alas, I wonder how much turmoil this will cause."

"Old Li, you’re bound to suffer again this time!"

"This Master of Profound Envoy is truly a hero!"

"Incredible, incredible!"

After capturing Luo Jinghe, imprisoning him in the dungeon, He Yan immediately sought Lu Xuan who had just returned from Lanshan County.

What He Yan hadn’t expected was.

This Master of Profound Envoy, without a moment’s hesitation, sentenced Luo Jinghe to death without even a glance!

Still the kind of death sentence that required no trial!

And who else could carry out this execution order but himself?

He Yan sighed helplessly.

"Master, spare me!"

"I really didn’t do it!"

Seeing the arriving person was the Profound Bird Guard Vice Envoy who captured him, Luo Jinghe quickly began to plead.

No choice, in this ghost place where one could not cry for help, Luo Jinghe could only compromise.

"Vice Envoy, I’m Prince An’s confidant placed at White Dao Prefecture."

"If you dare lay hands on me, Prince An will never rest!"

In Luo Jinghe’s heart, Prince An was the sky of Anzhou.

Even the Master of Profound Envoy had no right to provoke Prince An.

Prince An......

Did you think I don’t know your background?

He Yan agreed with Luo Jinghe’s words; he had informed the Master of Profound Envoy.

It just had no effect!

"Mr. Luo, after the Master of Profound Envoy confirms, Huang Shi’s case is decided."

"No need for a trial, execute immediately!"

He Yan’s words left Luo Jinghe incredulous, unable to believe this outcome.

"I don’t believe, you’re lying to me!"

"I want to see the Prefect, I want to see the Master of Profound Envoy!"

"What enmity do you have with me to treat me this way!"

As Luo Jinghe blamed everything on him, He Yan had no intention of explaining.

He couldn’t just say, you offended the Master of Profound Envoy, blame him.

Clang!

A crisp knife sound rang out, cold light flashed, accompanied by a sharp wind.

A cold gleam appeared from the void, tearing through the sky, attacking Luo Jinghe.

In the next moment, all things before Luo Jinghe’s eyes were inverted.

Afterward, a round object fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

.....

Inside the hall, besides Lu Xuan, there was another person.

He was White Dao Prefecture Prefect Hong Zhi!

Facing Lu Xuan’s summons, Hong Zhi dared not delay, and hurried over.

"Prefect, these are the evidence found by my envoy’s men at Luo Jinghe’s place."

"There are many letters here, all communication between Luo Jinghe and various county officials."

"Among them is Huang Yangping, the former county aide of Qingyun County, and the missing Profound Bird Guard Huang Shi."

"Explain yourself to my envoy!"

Prefect Hong Zhi looking at the pile of letters beside him was sweating profusely.

Even his back was unknowingly drenched in sweat.

"Master of Profound Envoy, please forgive my negligence!"

"This was my dereliction, truly unaware of Luo Jinghe’s ambitious intentions."

As a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm, he felt an unprecedented pressure before this young Master of Profound Envoy.

Not even Li Chengfeng had ever given him such a dangerous feeling.

This feeling recalled Hong Zhi to the shivering fear when he faced an Inner Qi expert as a Blood Refining Realm member.

"Do you truly not know, or pretend not to know!"

"Prefect, you know in your heart."

"Enough, the reason I summoned you is to take away Luo Jinghe’s body and officially convict him."

Lu Xuan saw through Hong Zhi’s guise in an instant but didn’t mind.

This time, Lu Xuan summoned Hong Zhi to take Luo Jinghe’s body away.

Prefect Hong Zhi upon hearing, stood up instantly before Lu Xuan.

"Luo Jinghe is dead!"

Finally, Hong Zhi realized his improper behavior, murmuring softly.

"Dead......."

"Why, Prefect, are you questioning my envoy’s decision?"

Lu Xuan’s question prompted Hong Zhi to quickly reply, "No, I mean the Master of Profound Envoy did well."

"Luo Jinghe’s ambitious plot, dare to harm Profound Bird Guard, indeed deserves death!"
