I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 597: Tracing in Wanfu County

Mo Lan left, but that blob of wolf demon essence blood remained.

Lu Zheng didn't go home either; he stayed right there, took out the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror, and directly extracted a strand of essence blood to cast a spell.

The surface of the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror was shrouded in layers of mist, making it indistinct and unclear.

Lu Zheng blinked. Did it not succeed?

No, that's not right. It did succeed. Look, the mirror surface is filled with clouds and mist!

So, this means…

The opponent's Dao practice is too high!

"Hiss—"

Lu Zheng took a sharp breath, refraining from increasing the intensity to observe further. Instead, he adjusted the seal technique in his hand to raise the view, no longer observing the target.

Sure enough, as the view was raised, the layers of clouds in the mirror became fainter, and the contents became clearer.

Soon, Lu Zheng had raised the view of the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror to a hundred zhang above.

"Luckily, it's not at the limit yet."

Of course, the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror has its limits; its detection range is limited, and so is the height it can cover. Currently, it had been raised to a hundred zhang, nearly at its limit, revealing a vague scene in the mirror surface.

It was a county town.

"Damn! Could it be Tonglin County again?" Lu Zheng was startled and carefully observed.

Although it was blurry, the general layout could still be discerned.

It wasn't Tonglin County.

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze shifted, and then he pulled the view northeast, indeed spotting an estate on the outskirts of the county town.

Huangfu Manor!

He had actually already infiltrated Wanfu County!

Lu Zheng had guessed that the opponent was gravely injured and wouldn't appear in the short term, yet now the opponent was right under his nose.

If it weren't for the coincidental wolf trouble, perhaps one day he would have invaded his home before he realized it.

But since I discovered it…

Lu Zheng, riding on white clouds, soared into the sky and instantly headed northwest.

…

"Wanfu County?"

Chu Jin said in surprise, "Leng Li is already in Wanfu County, in the county town?"

"In the county town." Lu Zheng nodded, "The opponent's Dao practice is too high for me to see clearly; I can only judge that they are in the county town."

"How audacious! Does he really think the Anomaly Bureau is made of clay?" Chu Jin pounded the table, "I will immediately report this to Lord Qi, ensuring Leng Li does not leave Lingbei Dao alive."

"Young Master Lu."

"Hmm?"

"Please keep a close watch on Leng Li, and if he leaves Wanfu County, inform us immediately."

"This is my duty. Besides, Lord Chu is the one helping me." Lu Zheng replied.

Chu Jin smiled at this, "This is also the work of the Anomaly Bureau; we help each other."

…

An hour later, Lu Zheng met the Governor of the Lingbei Dao Anomaly Suppression Bureau.

Qi Fengyun.

A kindly-looking elderly man with a ruddy complexion, dressed like any ordinary elder you'd see leisurely strolling on the street.

Lu Zheng smirked. Have experts nowadays taken to concealing their skills? By rights, the Governor of the Lingbei Dao Anomaly Suppression Bureau should have at least a thousand years of Dao practice.

Fortunately, since he was the only one putting on airs, the other three people accompanying him bore an aura that was unparalleled with Chu Jin, making them seem far more normal.

The configuration of the Lingbei Dao Anomaly Suppression Bureau is naturally much stronger than that of the Yizhou Town Anomaly Bureau.

"Greetings, Lord Qi!"

"I've heard that the White Cloud Temple took in a once-in-a-century talented disciple, and today I finally see him." Qi Fengyun said with a smile.

"You're too kind, my lord." Lu Zheng hurriedly replied, "It's all thanks to my master's teaching."

"Master Mingzhang, indeed." Qi Fengyun nodded with a smile, following Lu Zheng's words, "Also an extraordinarily gifted individual. The White Cloud Temple's fate is indeed flourishing."

The group chatted casually before they all rose on clouds and headed towards Wanfu County.

"That Leng Li's Dao practice is not weak. If he deliberately suppresses his aura and hides in Wanfu County, how are we to force him out?"

Chu Jin frowned and asked, "And Wanfu County is a large county with tens of thousands of people. If we make a move inside, casualties might be significant."

Qi Fengyun was not in a hurry, "Let's confirm his identity first. Once his identity is verified, we can wait a few days; once he leaves Wanfu County, we can move in and encircle him."

The higher the cultivation, the higher the status; in reality, the fewer matters they'll have to deal with, so they can wait near Wanfu County for ten days to half a month.

"The fear is that he'll recover in Wanfu County and just stay there," Chu Jin said, "We can't just wait for him to heal completely, can we?"

If facing an opponent that must be killed, like the Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor, Great Jing wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice an entire city and wouldn't be restrained.

However, for now, this Leng Li isn't deserving of such treatment, so if they can avoid harming ordinary people's lives, they should.

Qi Fengyun shook his head, "When dealing with a thousand-year-old great demon, thinking too much is pointless. They can always break the setup at any moment, so we can only adapt accordingly."

"Yes." Chu Jin bowed and acknowledged.

A moment later, they arrived near Wanfu County, descended, and concealed their presence, appearing just like mortals.

"Chu Jin, go to the County Government Office and have the constables post a wanted notice for a flower thief, then patrol the town to investigate those who have recently settled and the lone guests in inns."

"Yes!"

"Xiaoxue, you and the other three go to the medicine shops and herb stores to inquire if anyone has purchased supplements for blood and Qi."

"Yes!"

"Lu Xiaoyou," Qi Fengyun looked at Lu Zheng with a smile, "would you like to take a stroll with this old man?"

"Dare not refuse!"

Lu Zheng accompanied Qi Fengyun, and the two strolled from the west gate into Wanfu County, along the main street of the county town heading east.

"I think it's been about ten years since I last visited Wanfu County," Qi Fengyun said as they walked, "I still remember Wanfu Restaurant's most famous dish being Wanfu Roasted Duck. I wonder if it still tastes the same after ten years."

"I haven't tried Wanfu Roasted Duck, but there's a Li's Old Braised in the north, a century-old establishment with delicious braised chicken."

"Oh?" Qi Fengyun was quite surprised.

"My wife grew up in Wanfu County and only moved away a few years ago. I accompanied her on a few hometown visits." Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"Ah, I see." Qi Fengyun acknowledged it with understanding.

Then, the two saw two teams of constables pass by.

One team, holding paper and paste, posted notices and wanted portraits in public areas while heading towards the city gate.

The other team delved into various places, inquiring with people on the streets for news about strangers who had appeared in the city recently.

Lu Zheng and Qi Fengyun were in no rush and continued chatting about various topics, discussing the local customs of Wanfu County.

Along the way, they also had passing encounters with other Anomaly Bureau experts.

As dusk approached, the two arrived at the center of Wanfu County, at the Wanfu Restaurant, entered it, and ordered a table full of dishes, including the most famous Wanfu Roasted Duck.

"Hmm, not bad. Still the same taste." Qi Fengyun tried the duck meat first, nodded in satisfaction.

A moment later, Chu Jin and the other three entered the restaurant's private room one by one.

Qi Fengyun knocked on a bowl with his chopsticks, cast a sealing barrier, and then nodded, "Now we can talk."
