I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 555: Who is He Dan

"Dead?" Chu Jin asked.

"Dead." Master Jue Xuan nodded. Whether he had truly taken out the opponent, he could still discern.

"This time it was simple and swift," Chu Jin said with a smile.

Master Jue Xuan also smiled at this, "We must thank Lu Xiaoyou for his help; without the preliminary investigation, we went straight to the core."

Theoretically speaking, once this demon's malice became too great or they learned of the Court's investigation, they would gradually become cautious, perhaps setting traps or laying down defenses.

But this time, whether it was the beginning or some oversight, they were directly approached by three experts, including someone as skilled as Master Jue Xuan, thus they directly surrendered.

At this time, the demon was dead, Shen Ying and Guangyue withdrew their protection, and organized the villagers to return and help repair the houses that were just damaged in the process.

Fortunately, the affected area was not large, and only a dozen houses were damaged. Guangyue and Shen Ying used spells to handle some of the more labor-intensive tasks, and the remaining details were left for the villagers to manage.

Now that most of the work was done, Guangyue came over and asked, "I wonder if there are other demons engaging in such activities elsewhere?"

"Demons of such a cultivation level were rare even when the Demon Ancestor was in Great Jing, and under the Demon Ancestor, they would not have been obscure,"

Chu Jin shook his head, then nodded, "However, I'll report this matter when I return, and request the Anomaly Suppression Bureaus in various places to investigate further."

Chu Jin was a Governor of a state, and Master Jue Xuan was an expert from the Great Vajra Temple. If such demons were in thousands, the Demon Ancestor need not hide away; they could directly crush Great Jing.

Therefore, Chu Jin was quite happy, reaching out to capture a wisp of drifting demonic qi and sealing it as evidence.

"Lu Lang." Shen Ying gracefully arrived, relieved to see that Lu Zheng was unharmed.

Chu Jin said, "Once again, thanks to Young Master Lu for his successful investigation. I will surely report it."

Lu Zheng cupped his hands and smiled, "It was merely my duty, Lord Chu need not worry."

Chu Jin glanced at Lu Zheng's gourd, softly requesting, "If there's a minor issue in the future, may I ask for your assistance, young master?"

Located hundreds of miles apart, neither he nor Master Jue Xuan could manage, but Lu Zheng relied on a Treasure Mirror to locate the demon's exact position. The two naturally understood the Treasure Mirror's extraordinariness.

Master Jue Xuan, being a senior in the Buddhist sect, could not inquire out of curiosity.

Chu Jin, however, was different. As the head of a state's Anomaly Suppression Bureau, he would inevitably have to track down all sorts of Abnormal People in misconduct. If he had Lu Zheng's help, who knew how much effort would be saved.

If this Treasure Mirror were in the hands of someone of similar rank to Daoist Mingzhang, Chu Jin would be embarrassed to ask, just as not every matter could be investigated or divined by experts from the Observatory.

—Although the Observatory and even the Anomaly Suppression Bureau headquarters had powerful methods of investigation, tracking, and divination, if local Anomaly Suppression Bureaus needed the headquarters' assistance for every matter, the headquarters would be overwhelmed.

But Lu Zheng, fortunately considered a junior, and having maintained a good relationship with the Anomaly Suppression Bureau over time, would notify them of contributions, hence Chu Jin was able to make this request.

"Lord Chu need not be courteous, just try to avoid unnecessary complications," Lu Zheng agreed.

This was a good thing!

If I happened to be free, or encountered a formidable opponent, I could also join in for the excitement and lend a hand.

Getting both goodwill and qi luck, a win-win!

"Certainly."

Chu Jin understandingly nodded, then said with a smile, "If there's a need for your assistance, I'll personally visit."

Lu Zheng's Dharma Artifact was indeed extraordinary, and those intending to cause trouble within Great Jing would surely target Lu Zheng if they learned of it; Lu Zheng wanting to avoid unnecessary complications was only natural.

No one wants to be troubled every day, right?

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng nodded, and thus the matter was pleasantly settled.

Seeing that there was nothing else here, the villagers came up to express their gratitude. At a glance, a few people were discovered to have already been affected by demonic qi, beginning to become assimilated.

However, it was fortunate that these individuals were only in the early stages. Guangyue brought out the Light Relics, and with a mere touch of Buddha Light, this chaotic demonic qi was completely dissipated.

"There's nothing more here, let's go," Chu Jin nodded and said.

"No, there are still two more," Master Jue Xuan suddenly turned around, looking towards the ancestral hall.

"Hmm?" Chu Jin turned his head as well.

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "That father and son?"

Earlier, when observing through the Treasure Mirror, they saw a father and son praying in the ancestral hall. Could it be they were also enticed by the demon?

Guangyue blinked in confusion, "I didn't sense any demonic qi?"

Could it be that it hadn't started at all, and the demon didn't have time to plant demonic qi seeds in them?

Everyone turned to see a middle-aged man dressed as a destitute scholar, holding a handsome young boy, both looking in their direction with shock and relief.

Master Jue Xuan nodded, then struck his Zen Staff, seeing a few wisps of black drifting from above the father and son's heads.

"This demon's methods were indeed covert, but unfortunately, they encountered me," Master Jue Xuan said calmly.

Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

...

After the matter ended, Chu Jin and the people bade farewell, heading straight for the Yizhou Prefecture, while Master Jue Xuan and Guangyue prepared to return to Pingtan County. Since Lu Zheng and his companions weren't heading towards Tonglin County, they parted ways in the sky above the mountain village.

"Unexpectedly, just by testing a Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror, so many things arose," Shen Ying sighed, holding onto Lu Zheng's arm with pride in her voice, "Fortunately, Lu Lang was present, preventing the demon from affecting more common folk."

Lu Zheng nodded, knowing that disputes among Abnormal People in the Cultivation Realm could easily impact ordinary people. Whether ancient tales like "Journey to the West" or "The Investiture of the Gods", or modern series like "Shu Xian Swordsmen", or even lower-tier works like "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", a thoughtful reading reveals the pathetic situations of ordinary citizens in those worlds.

For instance, the entire population of Shituo Country eaten by the Lion Camel King, or the battles during King Wu's campaign against Zhou, or the killings and treasure crafting by the Green Robe Ancestor.

Despite the peace and prosperity in the Great Jing Dynasty, it was more about maintaining stability and barely suppressing threats from all sides, rather than expanding territories.

"The world without nuclear weapons is truly dangerous!" Lu Zheng mused.

"He Dan? Who's He Dan?" Shen Ying pouted, "Is it some actor's role? A surname He? Better than me and Little Sister Qingyan?"

Lu Zheng earnestly shook his head, "A particularly skilled expert, more formidable than you and Qingyan combined!"

Seeing Lu Zheng joke, Shen Ying couldn't help but giggle, "There are plenty more formidable than me and Qingyan, like Lu Lang..."

"Ah—" Lu Zheng inhaled sharply, "Where is your hand wandering?"

"Lu Lang~" Shen Ying waved her hand, enveloping the surrounding forest in a pink mist.
