Chapter 432: Chapter 229: Lost His Wife and Soldiers? _2

This homicide case will undoubtedly be vigorously investigated by the court.

"Lord Ran, where is Master Jiang?"

Shan Dongchuan realized that the situation was already out of control and could only hope to confront Jiang Mo.

Ran Qingchen gave a wry smile, "Jiang Mo left the day before yesterday, and currently... currently, I have no idea where he has gone. He hasn’t returned at all."

Upon hearing these words, both Shan Dongchuan and Yuan Anjiang’s expressions changed.

The circumstances at hand had already developed in an unfavorable direction.

Knife wounds, tokens, missing persons... At any other time, a case might have already been closed.

"Fine, so he’s not here, huh."

Murong Tong’s tone was as cold as ice, each word filled with a chilling intent,

"Lord Ran, out of respect for the friendship between our two families, I will trust you this time. I’ll have the Yamen issue a warrant for Jiang Mo! In addition, I will report to the court and request the imperial guards to pursue the investigation."

Imperial guards!?

Ran Qingchen and the others instantly turned pale.

The so-called imperial guards were the palace’s internal guards, like Ma Wu who was previously the bodyguard of the little princess.

They took orders directly from the Emperor and had the authority to execute first and report later.

Murong Tong ordered his men to lift the body and led his people out of the Liushan Division.

Yuan Anjiang looked at Ran Qingchen and asked, "Lord Ran, do you really not know where Jiang Mo has gone?"

Ran Qingchen shook his head, "I really don’t know."

Yuan Anjiang sighed, "This just got troublesome."

In a low voice, Shan Dongchuan said, "Perhaps Murong Shuo said something to Master Jiang, and the two had a dispute, with Master Jiang accidentally..."

"Mr. Shan, do not make wild guesses before the investigation is clear!"

Ran Qingchen said coldly.

Shan Dongchuan’s face showed embarrassment as he nodded.

Jiang Yi habitually placed her right leg over her left knee, silently rotating the teacup in her hand, lost in thought.

Seeing Xia He looking over, Jiang Yi said irritably,

"What are you looking at me for, brat? Can a respectable woman like me cover the sky with one hand? The Murong Family is not some random riffraff; I have no interest in attracting trouble for Jiang Mo.

If Jiang Mo really had the audacity to kill Murong Shuo, the best I can do is to tell him to hurry off to Yanrong or somewhere else to lie low."

Xia He’s expression turned gloomy.

----------

Bitter Fire Hell.

The intense cold that penetrated the skin and chilled the bones made Jiang tremble uncontrollably.

However, after taking the Spirit Pill given by Luo Wanqing, Jiang, who was originally strong-built, underwent a transformation and grew a full size taller, his figure became even more imposing and looked especially robust.

He seemed like a great demon king of chaos.

As the power of the Elixir took effect, Jiang’s veins and muscles bulged like coiling dragons beneath his skin, emitting a faint blue glow.

Even his skin was tightly stretched, as smooth as a mirror, yet it exhibited a strange purplish sheen.

His entire torso was tinged with an unusual red hue.

In desperation, Jiang charged into the deep and shadowy cavern without a second thought.

There was no barrier of spiritual power at the entrance of the cave, appearing to be a clear path, yet the passage within was narrow and perilously steep, restricting Jiang’s movement the moment he entered, leaving him in a tight spot. He had no choice but to clench his teeth and tense his whole body.

After enduring hardship and struggling mightily, Jiang finally managed to conceal his entire body inside.

The next moment, he was met with a sudden expanse of space, as if he had stepped into an enchanting flower room in a fairy’s house, filled with clusters of flowers and an intoxicating fragrance.

...

Time flew by, and another two days passed.

Ancient Brahma Temple.

The three thousand monks continued to chant sutras and strike wooden fish day and night.

The old woman stood in front of the forbidden ground gate, silently observing the three Bodhi lamps on the offering table, her brow furrowed.

More than three days had elapsed, yet not a single Bodhi lamp had been extinguished.

She had entered the forbidden grounds twice during this period.

By the second entry, Luo Wanqing’s abdomen was bulging, as if she were pregnant for three or four months.

"Why haven’t any of the Bodhi lamps been extinguished after three days..."

The old woman could not understand, and she dared not touch them or disturb Luo Wanqing’s journey of Asking Dao.

...

Inside the forbidden ground, whips formed of raging fire lashed down on a woman’s back one after another, leaving shocking scars.

The woman’s body trembled, her gaze alternately clear, muddled, and then filled with seductive charm.

Nine lotus-like auras, each with a thousand beams of auspicious golden light, floated lightly around her.

Bitter Fire Hell was a Buddhist forbidden ground constructed as an emulation of the Great Suffering Reincarnation Hell.

In ancient times, Nilian Zen Master sought his own path to the Heavenly Human Realm. Entangled by karma with the Precept-Breaking Bodhisattva, he chose to plunge into malevolence as a form of self-punishment, and after undergoing a Nirvanic rebirth, successfully ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm.

"Sinking into the realm of desire is like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow. Temporary pleasure yields long-term karmic suffering."

"In the abyss of pain, unveil repentance, like a lotus arising from the mud, untainted, realizing the impermanence of all existence, the non-self of all phenomena."

Such is the way of Bitter Fire!

To completely fall into evil, to become entirely lost, to sink wholly into degradation, and then to awaken suddenly.

Knowing that she had become entwined with Jiang Mo in a karmic thread, Luo Wanqing conceived a plan in her heart. She went to the palace’s library to search for the scriptures on Nilian Zen Master’s cultivation methods and finally chose Bitter Fire Hell.

Her aim was not just to heal the nine golden lotuses within her but to make a leap into the Heavenly Human Realm in one go.

But the process seemed to have deviated.

Logically, they were supposed to fall into a temporary oblivion after the three days were over, yet currently, it appeared that the time was excessively long.

Luo Wanqing was unaware of how much time had passed but instinctively sensed something amiss.

However, this trace of doubt was quickly swamped by desire.

In plain terms, Luo Wanqing was at a stage where her mind had broken down and she could no longer think coherently.

After an indefinite time, the nine golden lotuses in the air gradually converged, eventually merging into one, transforming into a radiant golden disc.
