I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 987

Zhong Lihe carefully flipped through the pages, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Chen Mo led the team, thwarted the Gu God Sect's conspiracy, helped the townspeople expel the Gu Poison Worms, saving nearly twenty thousand lives, and destroyed their base at Nine-headed Mountain, killing hundreds of cult members…"

"Are you sure this content is true?"

Kuang Jie replied solemnly, "I stake my life on it—there's not a single false word."

Zhong Lihe swallowed.

Chen Mo had only arrived in Fengmu County yesterday, and in less than two days, he managed to handle such a significant case?

What surprised him even more was that the Gu God Sect, which he had personally eradicated, had resurfaced so quickly!

And it seemed they returned with great momentum and ambition!

"Ultimately, it all comes down to Yin Tiankou."

"Since he escaped from my grasp, it is naturally my duty to end this matter."

Cold determination flickered in Zhong Lihe's eyes as he asked, "Do you know where Chen Mo and his party are now?"

Not daring to conceal anything, Kuang Jie replied truthfully, "When I separated from Mr. Chen, he was still in the county town, likely heading to Bailu City next."

"Then let's first take a look at Fengmu County."

Having made up his mind, Zhong Lihe stood up and said, "Today's conversation between you and me is confidential. Don't let a third party know about it."

Kuang Jie nodded repeatedly, "I understand, sir. I'll pretend you never came."

"Good." Zhong Lihe's figure flickered and suddenly disappeared.

Kuang Jie glanced around, and after confirming that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief and sank powerless into his chair.

"First, there were two household officials, then a Royal Tributor, just to eliminate the remnants of the Demon Sect. Is it really worth such a fuss?"

"Wait a minute..."

"The Inner Palace Expert who once teamed up with the Divine Strategy Army to annihilate the Gu God Sect was named Zhong Lihe?!"

Kuang Jie swallowed hard.

This man dared to kill even a Prefect!

It seems the Southern Border is about to change again!

...

...

Fengmu County.

The sky was gradually darkening, and the moon hung high.

Inside the public hall, the candlelight flickered dimly. Ji Weifeng leaned wearily against the chair and asked, "Has everything outside been arranged properly?"

Beside him, the Master bowed and replied, "I have double-checked. There are a total of nineteen thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven people affected by the Gu Poison, all accounted for. The worms expelled from their bodies have all been gathered and destroyed by fire."

"That's good." Ji Weifeng rubbed his temples.

The events of the past two days had a profound impact on him, leaving his head still buzzing.

What he couldn't understand the most was: in all his dealings with the Li Family, how had he not spotted anything amiss?

In hindsight, there had been more than one government official with unusual symptoms, their bodies quickly wasting away, as if they had a serious illness. Yet, he had subconsciously ignored these signs.
