I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 979

Facing Chen Mo, he might still dare to fight, but in front of this woman, he doesn't even have the courage to run away.

"No need, characters of this level won't be able to access the core information." Yu Youhan waved her hand: "Leave it to Chen Mo to interrogate for fun, after all, he came all the way to handle the case, so might as well let him have some sense of participation."

Ye Zi'e tugged at the corner of his mouth and whispered, "The Empress makes a good point."

"By the way, deal with those bodies, don't let Chen Mo notice anything."

"Yes."

...

...

Before long.

A whistling sound came from outside the cave.

Soon after, Chen Mo and Li Yuan walked in one after the other, while Song Xuan stayed outside on guard.

Seeing a ground full of charred bodies, the two couldn't help but be stunned.

They had followed the Sky Scale Guard's Communication Talisman all the way at top speed, hoping to come quickly to assist, only to find that the matter was already over before they arrived?

"Households Commander Ye, wasn't the plan to wait for everyone to gather before taking action? What's going on here?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.

"Ahem." Ye Zi'e cleared his throat and explained, "According to your arrangement, Mr. Xu and I were crouched outside the city and sure enough, we spotted someone sneaking out. We chased them all the way here but were accidentally discovered by the other side and had to make an early move..."

Chen Mo inquired, "Did either of you get hurt?"

"No." Households Commander Ye waved his hand: "It was just a bunch of small fry, we dealt with them easily."

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo slightly furrowed his brows.

Ye Zi'e's personal strength is top-notch among the Heavenly Qilin Guard Thousand Households, just a step away from Grandmaster level, dealing with these ordinary cultists naturally posed no difficulty.

However, from a rough glance, there were at least hundreds of them. Even if they queued up to be cut down, it would take some time, and they were chopped up so finely, almost resembling minced meat for dumplings.

It's difficult for her to do this alone. Perhaps this Mr. Xu is also a skilled fighter?

Speaking of which, ever since the group set out, Xu You had never taken the initiative to act.

"Mr. Xu..."

"Humph!"

Xu You snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring him.

"..."

Seeing this, Chen Mo stopped inviting trouble and turned his gaze to Li Chichang, who was kneeling on the ground, then walked over.

"Li, shall we have a talk?"

...

...

Li Chichang was already scared witless and didn't need any coercion, spilling everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

Everyone gained additional understanding of the Gu God Sect's situation.

To avoid being eradicated like last time, Yin Tiankou did not rush to rebuild the mountain gate but instead broke it into smaller parts, dispersing thousands of cultists across multiple strongholds, completely isolating them from each other.

He issued orders to them through the Array, never appearing personally.

It means that except for personal guards, no one knows his exact location.

Crack—

Once Chen Mo confirmed he couldn't extract any further information, he twisted Li Chichang's neck, and silver flames emerged, burning the body to nothing.

Taking the handkerchief passed by Li Yuan, he wiped his hands and stood up.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king; to completely purge the Gu God Sect, we must first find Yin Tiankou."

"To develop so many cultists in a short time without causing a disturbance indicates he is hiding in a place with a large flow of people."

"There aren't many cities of such scale in the Southern Border, but Bailu City is one, which matches Households Commander Ye's intelligence."

"Either way, let's visit the site and see for ourselves."

With the decision made, Chen Mo led everyone out of the cave.

It was now pitch black; the night wind howled amidst the rustling of tree branches.

The issue at Fengmu County wasn't completely resolved yet, having stirred such commotion, the government office was likely in chaos, although Ji Weifeng was handling the aftermath, saving him quite a bit of trouble.

"Everyone's quite exhausted today, how about we rest on the Flying Boat for the night and start wrapping up things tomorrow?" proposed Chen Mo.

Li Yuan nodded, "All according to your arrangements, sir."

Ye Zi'e discreetly glanced at Xu You; seeing no objection, he nodded, "I have no objections either."

Chen Mo activated the Flying Boat, hovering above the mountaintop.

Once on board, everyone returned to their rooms for rest.

...

...

In the bedroom, candlelight flickered.

Chen Mo soaked in the bathtub, with warm water washing away all his fatigue.

With a flip of his wrist, a fingernail-sized specimen floated in his palm, seemingly in its infancy, resembling a mini Lingzhi, with a layer of white fuzz continuously swaying on its surface.

[Acquired Mystical Object: Meat Ganoderma Seedling (Unripe).]

A system notification flashed before his eyes.
