I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 988

"Don't worry, he's no longer within the Tian Nan Realm." The man in the blood-red robe murmured, "This mission's failure has made the Sect Hierarch very angry. I need to know Chen Mo's next moves, or else I'll have to take you back to apologize personally to the Sect Hierarch..."

Seeing Ji Weifeng's bewildered expression, the man in the blood-red robe paused in his speech and muttered to himself, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to remove the Soul-locking Gu."

He then took out a piece of a wooden flute from his sleeve and blew into it.

With the sound of "woo woo" from the flute, Ji Weifeng felt a little tickle in his nose. When he reached up to pull at it, he astonishingly extracted a half-finger-long white flesh worm!

Covered entirely in murky mucus, the spiral mouthparts kept opening and closing, appearing extremely creepy.

Poof—

After a moment of silence, Ji Weifeng directly crushed the worm, causing green slime to splatter.

Raising his head again, there was no trace of panic on his face, his gaze dark and as deep as water.

"Has this matter even alarmed the Sect Hierarch?"

"It's all that fool Li Chichang's fault. I told him to be cautious, yet he still got caught, implicating the Nine-headed Mountain base as well."

Ji Weifeng pulled out a handkerchief, wiping his hands, and said, "Chen Mo and his men went towards Bailu City. His strength has already broken through to Grandmaster level and it seems there are masters with him. It's best to lie low for now and not confront him directly."

"Understood."

The man in the red robe nodded, then thought of something and asked, "Are you sure you haven't exposed yourself?"

"Of course." Ji Weifeng sneered, "With the Soul-locking Gu sealing my memories, even I don't know my true identity. How could Chen Mo possibly see through it?"

This method is extremely hidden. Unless one forcibly performs a Soul Search, or directly lifts open the skull to rummage, nothing unusual can be discovered.

"That's good, your position as County Magistrate will have great use in the future. It's best to keep it." The man in the red robe pondered, "Chen Mo is coming on strong. It seems the court is determined to eradicate us, and reinforcements may very well come soon. The risk will only grow greater, so we must quickly refine new Meat Ganoderma..."

"The chaos in the city has just calmed, it's the most relaxed time. I'll arrange for a doctor tomorrow to purportedly adjust the body by slipping a Gu into the decoction, for the people to consume." Ji Weifeng pulled a sinister smile, "Even if exposed, it will seem that Chen Mo didn't purify all the venom, and no blame will fall on me."

Pa, pa, pa—

At this moment, a round of applause rang out, accompanied by a mocking voice:

"Good idea, Lord Ji, you truly are a genius."

?!

Ji Weifeng's expression froze, slowly turning his head.

In the hall stood two figures, appearing unbeknownst.

One was Chen Mo, who had long since left, sitting on a chair, legs crossed, looking at him with playful eyes, while Tusi officer Xu You stood expressionless behind him.

"Chen, Mr. Chen?!"

Ji Weifeng reacted, hastily changing his expression, pointing at the man in the red robe and exclaimed, "I was just pretending to be an accomplice, feigning civility to hold him steady, you came just in time, quickly restrain this demon!"

"Alright, no need for the performance, I've heard everything clearly from the beginning to the end."

Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and a paperman slowly floated down from under the chair, shaking its head, "I thought you'd at least keep up the act for another two days, didn't expect that as soon as I left, you'd show your true colors, couldn't even wait a moment, huh."

Chen Mo had long sensed something was off.
