“So What?” Lin Rou snorted coldly as the blazing sky falcon circled and landed not far in front of Wang Ye. She first looked at the shattered space in the distance and the dazzling light, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.

“Wang Ye is from my Investigation Corps,” Lin Rou said calmly, “Even if he is to be investigated, I’ll be the one to do it. Even if it’s not me, it’s won’t be your turn either.”

Long Wu was silent for a moment before saying, “But he has already revived the demon sword. This is a big matter. It’s not something you can investigate. I’m sure you know this. In addition, the other teams have already rushed over. Even if he escapes now, he won’t be able to run.”

Lin Rou looked at the distant sky again, then at Wang Ye behind her. She threw a crystal at him and coldly snorted, “Leave!”

Wang Ye catched it and looked at it. There was a spiritual imprint on the crystal.

“Huji!” The white python called out.

It said that it could sense that this imprint was marked with a unique spatial coordinate.

As a space-type pet, with a spatial coordinate, it could teleport away if it had a teleportation or flash skill.

“Commander Lin, you…” Wang Ye frowned slightly.

“Cut the crap. I know you have nothing to do with the Dark Fog Cult. As for the revival of the demon sword…” Lin Rou said calmly, “You must have another reason to do this. I know you well. After all, Anping County… Forget it, leave quickly. Since the matter has already happened, whether you accept the investigation or not, nothing will change. Even if you are to be investigated, it’ll have to be done by someone from the Dawn Bureau. Qixing Investigation Corps doesn’t have the qualifications!”

With that said, she threw a punch forward. A powerful energy fluctuation instantly broke the stagnant space.

The face of the beastmaster opposite her instantly paled as he retreated hastily in mid-air.

A faint light flashed in Wang Ye’s eyes, and he handed the imprint to the white python.

In the next moment, the space began to tremble slightly, collapsing and retracting. With that, Wang Ye disappeared in an instant!

“Big sister Lin, you’re really…” Long Wu was speechless, then turned to look at the people around him, “Use Spatial Hunt and track Wang Ye’s aura!”

“That won’t do,” Lin Rou’s fists burned with raging flames, and her hair stood on end, floating in mid-air, “If you want to track him, you have to beat me first. It’s been so many years since we last sparred, I wonder how strong you are now? Come, do entertain me.”

“…”

…

In the distance, Chen He was deep in thought, “Commander Ji’s aura is in chaos. He can’t hold on much longer. As a great Master-rank beastmaster that is over two hundred years old, to think his aura would fall into chaos because of Wang Ye’s words. What kind of pet is that Chiyu?”

Xia Wange frowned and said, “I’m not too sure. Maybe it has something to do with the Xinghai Demon Disaster back then. Commander Ji lost all his pets back then and to date has only managed to raise three. Chiyu may be one of his pets that passed away. It was too long ago, but even so, it shouldn’t be enough to cause his aura to become chaotic…”

They were very confused, and neither of them could understand what was going on.

“I didn’t expect this kid to have so many tricks up his sleeves,” Chen He couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly, “Lin Rou’s appearance was within my expectations, but I originally thought that with Commander Ji’s strength, he should be able to force those guys to show themselves. Now, it seems… The Tao Divine Sword is indeed worthy of being a generational divine sword. Back then, during that disaster, it killed countless sovereign-level strange gods and… beastmasters. Even if it doesn’t have its peak strength right now, its aura is already so strong after just being resurrected… What should we do now?”

Xia Wange pondered for a long time and slowly said, “I have a feeling that Wang Ye seems to know a lot of things. In fact, he probably knows as much about the Dark Fog Cult as we do. He probably even knows about the big hand behind his back.”

Chen He was shocked when he heard that, “Why do you think so?”

“Intuition,” Xia Wange closed her eyes, “The future that I saw about the revival of the demon sword is very different from what we’re seeing now.”

“Then, him and the Dark Fog Cult…” Chen He frowned slightly.

“Of course, there’s no relationship. With the Dark Fog Cult’s way of doing things, the disaster in Anping County paired with the demon sword would be the best fuse. It could directly destroy Xinghai Province. Yet…” Xia Wange raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Yet he was also the one who resolved the demon disaster in Anping County,” Chen He said in a low voice.

“That’s right,” Xia Wange nodded slightly, “To think a beastmaster who only has a level two pet and a mere talent in Deep Memory was able to resolve the demon disaster in Anping County, and even the eeriest mirror demon phantom. After I returned, I recounted what had happened and realized that without Wang Ye, even if we arrived at Anping County, we would’ve been faced with the eruption of the dark fog. That mirror demon phantom has been hiding in Anping County for decades. Forget about beastmasters who aren’t even professionals yet, even a Master-rank beastmaster might not be able to detect its identity. Up until now, the Bureau still doesn’t know how he did it. The scene before us is the same. It’s completely different from what I’ve seen before.”

Speaking up to this point, Xia Wange sighed softly, “We don’t really know who he is. Everything about him is filled with mystery.”

“Do you think… he could be the beastmaster of the Tao Divine Sword back then?” Chen He pinched his chin, “The dark fog buried the beastmaster of the Tao Divine Sword for decades. Then, two hundred years later, he awakened his Deep Memories through the Door of Consciousness and woke up again. When he saw his pet had been turned into the demon sword, he naturally went to resurrect it. Naturally, it’s impossible for him to have anything to do with the Dark Fog Cult.”

“Besides, he was able to raise a level 8 Dominator-class pet like the Tao Divine Sword in the dark fog, thus making him legendary as well. Unfortunately, his information had long since disappeared from the chaotic Xinghai Province back when the dark fog descended. We don’t even know who he is. We only know that his pet caused the Xinghai Sword Disaster back then.”

“…” Xia Wange didn’t say anything else.

This world was full of strangeness. All sorts of bizarre possibilities existed.

Regardless of whether it was a divine-level talent or a reincarnated sage, all of them had existed before.

“Let’s return first. The observation report regarding Wang Ye can only stop here. He’s shrouded in a layer of fog. I can’t see his future at all.”

…

When Wang Ye came to, the first thing he saw was a stretch of moorland.

“Huji!” The white python licked Wang Ye’s cheek.

“This is…” Wang Ye looked around and his mind instantly jolted awake.

In the middle of the moorland was a huge silver-black mechanical pet. It was soaking in the moorland as if it was taking a bath.

A voice slowly sounded in his ear, “Comrade Wang, you are really brave!”

Wang Ye turned around and saw a familiar face. His eyes turned slightly and he smiled, “Miss Ming, I didn’t expect it to be you.”

“Humph! Why? Do you find it very strange?” Ming Zhu put her hands on her waist, and the white moon fox squatted beside her. It licked its claws and looked at Wang Ye with eyes full of surprise.

“Captain Lin told me about your situation at the first moment,” Ming Zhu counted her jade-like fingers, “You dared to get in touch with the famous demon sword in the history of Xinghai Province and even dared to resurrect it. I’ve never seen such a bold person. Say, don’t you think it’s already good enough for you to nurture your pets well in peace? Why did you get involved in this mess?”

“Look at the mess you’re in now. Although you escaped temporarily, I guess you can’t stay here any longer,” Ming Zhu looked distressed. “You are a genius of Xinghai Province. Why did you do such a thing?”

The white moon fox whimpered a few times and looked at Wang Ye with a strange expression.

Ming Zhu turned solemn and looked at Wang Ye seriously while pointing at him, “Tell me, who are you?”

“I think I should say be the one to say this, right?” Wang Ye smiled slightly and looked at Ming Zhu.

“?” Ming Zhu was stunned.

“Miss Ming, who exactly are you?”
