Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou only glanced at the golden paper in his hand unintentionally, but he discovered that the golden paper was absorbing the wandering Yin energy. Before long, some small words actually appeared on the back of the golden paper.

It clearly read: "Northern Underworld Treasure, Nine Dragons Devour the Sky."

Li Ergou's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had grasped something, yet it was as if he had grasped nothing. Damn it, why let me know these things? Isn't this tempting me to commit a crime?

But what exactly is the Northern Underworld Treasure, and what is the deal with the Nine Dragons Devouring the Sky? There are too few words, how could Li Ergou know?

However, one thing is certain: the things recorded above are extraordinary. He glanced at the blood jade again, lost in thought.

At this moment, he had no intention of cultivating and prepared to return. However, he didn't expect Gou Jianqiang to want to stay here. After all, it had crawled out of a grave and preferred to cultivate in this kind of place.

Li Ergou let it be. The tree demon definitely wouldn't leave.

As for the Zhuyin Feathered Serpent, it was currently half-dead. It had finally found an excellent place to recover, so of course, it wouldn't go back with Li Ergou. Besides, its large size would make it a target of attack no matter where it appeared. It was better to stay here quietly.

Li Ergou had nothing to say and could only leave with Chicken King and the black cat.

Actually, the black cat glanced at the Myriad Graves Abyss with some reluctance, but in the end, it still left with Li Ergou. Perhaps it still hoped to be in the sunlight.

Back at Wanglong Mountain, Li Ergou saw that Liu Bingji was actually waiting there.

He was slightly surprised and heard Liu Bingji say excitedly, "Sir, I've finally found you! Where have you been these past few days? I've been waiting for you for two days!"

Li Ergou asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Didn't you just finish the matter with the Itinerant Knife Sharpener? What's the matter after only a few days?"

Liu Bingji said, "That's right! The jade box you brought back seems to be related to a major event. The superiors have ordered Lord Zhao Xiong to personally investigate this matter.

That's why Lord Zhao sent me to find you. I've been delayed for two days. I don't know if Lord Zhao will be angry."

Li Ergou didn't care and said, "It's okay, let him come at me if he has a problem."

When Liu Bingji heard this, he didn't dare to complain. After all, he had seen Li Ergou's strength. It was unbelievably powerful. In his mind, if Li Ergou hadn't been a newcomer, he would definitely have become a Azure Dragon Guard.

After all, Lord Zhao was only a Yuan Ying stage cultivator. How could Lord Zhao be more powerful than Li Ergou? It was impossible.

He was still optimistic about Li Ergou and thought that he must hold onto his thigh tightly.

Li Ergou didn't say much. After explaining to his family, he set off with Liu Bingji.

Gou Jianqiang wasn't around, so Li Ergou directly let Chicken King be his mount. This guy could help fight at critical moments, and its combat power was much stronger than the black cat. The black cat still had to help at home, so Chicken King was the best choice.

In the Divine Dragon Hall, Azure Dragon Pavilion, in a small house, Wen Musheng looked at Zhao Xiong and said, "This matter is of great importance. Take your men and investigate it personally.

But I must tell you that I have received information that the people from the White Tiger Division seem to have also received some news. Perhaps someone will interfere in this matter. Therefore, you must be faster."

A look of contemplation appeared in Zhao Xiong's eyes. After Wen Musheng finished speaking, he immediately nodded and said, "Sir, your subordinate understands. Please rest assured, sir. I will personally follow up on this matter and will not allow any mistakes to occur."

Wen Musheng nodded slightly and waved his hand at Zhao Xiong, signaling him to leave.

Zhao Xiong's heart was filled with 'mama hum,' because this matter was really depressing. After all, there are no small matters in the royal family. Although the crown prince died, the remnants under the crown prince are still there.

If he didn't handle it well, he would probably be the scapegoat. No, he couldn't do this stupid thing himself. He thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

Since someone always has to be the scapegoat, why not throw the blame on Li Ergou? Isn't he very powerful? He can be the scapegoat.

With this in mind, he saw Li Ergou waiting for him.

When he saw Li Ergou, he was slightly angry and said, "Where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you report it?"

Li Ergou was slightly surprised and said, "Sir, a few days ago, I informed you that after completing that task, I would take a few days off. You agreed at the time."

Zhao Xiong recalled for a moment, and it seemed that there was really such a thing. However, his face was important, so he could only pretend to be unhappy and said, "Oh, there have been too many things these past few days, and I have been too busy to remember. Even so, don't go too far and let me find you at any time.

Don't do it again."

Li Ergou was helpless. Officials at a higher level could crush people to death. What else could he say? He could only nod and say, "Okay, I don't know what's the matter that you are looking for me so urgently, sir."

Zhao Xiong's face became serious and said, "Some new situations have emerged from the matter you handled last time. The superiors have ordered us to continue the investigation, but this time I will lead the team personally.

Work hard, I am very optimistic about you. If you perform well this time, I will ask for credit for you."

Li Ergou clearly felt that this guy was perfunctory. Although he didn't have much education, he had been in the officialdom for many years. He knew what was sincere and what was insincere.

However, what else could he say now? He could only nod and say, "I am at your disposal, sir."

Zhao Xiong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

Li Ergou thought, 'I believe you, my foot.'

These days, the sky above the capital was always gloomy, especially at night, without a trace of light, and it was extremely dark.

Although the capital was brightly lit, that light could never shine into the residence of the deposed crown prince.

The decayed gate that had not been opened for many years was suddenly pushed open in the dark with a cracking sound, which was the sound of the door lock being smashed.

Zhang Xiaofei retracted the knife in his hand and took a step back. Zhao Xiong glanced at Li Ergou with a slight look of hesitation, and was the first to walk in.

Behind him were Li Ergou and two other squadron leaders, followed by nine squad soldiers.

The other two squadron leaders were Niu Er and Ma San.

These two had followed Zhao Xiong for several years and were obviously his old subordinates. Although they had heard of Li Ergou's achievements this time, they didn't know the details and just dismissed them.

After all, they looked down on a guy who got promoted through connections.

The Crown Prince's residence was very large. In this imperial city where land was so precious, it actually covered thousands of feet, which showed that there were rockeries and gardens in the mansion. However, after years of precipitation, everything had become old.

It was also rumored that on the night before the crown prince died, he suddenly went mad and killed almost all the concubines and servants in the mansion. Hundreds of people were hacked to death in the courtyard, and the scene was extremely bloody.

A long time later, some people still said that in the Crown Prince's residence, countless ghosts could be heard crying every night, which was extremely tragic.

Anyway, there were many rumors, but this was a forbidden area. Who was tired of living and dared to come here to investigate.

The entire Crown Prince's residence was a set of five courtyards in and five courtyards out, with countless rooms inside. It would take too much time to investigate them one by one, so everyone could only disperse.

Zhao Xiong only told everyone what their mission was at this time.
