After emerging from the sewers, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi didn't return to their previous hotel, but instead went to a safehouse in the west of the city.

All Sacred Cult priests on missions would have three safehouses in or around the target city for rest and recovery. These safehouses were of high rank and often only known to certain sect members.

After returning to the safehouse, Ji Jiayu closed his eyes and recuperated without observing his surroundings, immersing his spiritual power in the Sacred Light Pearl to restore his state.

He closed his eyes and opened them for two days.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention a mental tear, that is, experiencing a normal collision and impact on the mental power, it would require ten and a half months of rest. A punctured or torn spiritual power could even cause a cultivator to become incapacitated, and even with natural resources and earthly treasures, it would be difficult to recover in such a short time.

It could only be said that it was all thanks to the Sacred Pearl.

When Ji Jiayu opened his eyes, he felt a hundredfold more energetic. He immediately summoned the Sacred Pearl and then solemnly thanked it.

Even though she knew the Sacred Jewel was lifeless and couldn't hear her, she still wanted to say this. After saying that, she slowly stood up. She turned her head and found Nie Lanhu basking in the sunlight at the table in front of the window.

His eyes were closed, his long blonde eyelashes, his face bright and delicate, and his perfect jawline was more defined than Ji Jiayu's life plan, like the sun goddess's proudest work.

As if sensing Ji Jiayu's gaze, his eyelashes trembled slightly. He opened his eyes, and his indifferent gaze swept over Ji Jiayu, causing Ji Jiayu to panic, unsure of what he was panicking about.

Soon, he calmed down and pretended to be unfazed. He asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days and two nights," Nie Lanxi said.

"I can't sense Peng Lianyun and Ding Lu anymore." Ji Jiayu sighed lightly.

"That's normal." Nie Lanxi said, "But you don't have to worry about not finding them. Instead, you should listen carefully for the sound three kilometers northwest."

"Huh?"

Ji Jiayu was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and listened carefully.

He had the strength of a late-fifth-order cultivator, and his body had been transformed by divine power and the sacred pearl. If he listened carefully, it wouldn't be difficult to hear a sound three or five kilometers away. Of course, that was as long as the sound was loud enough.

Now, three kilometers to the northwest, the sound was loud.

"Punish the murderer severely!"

"Sinful humans, get out of this sacred clear sea for me!"

"The Holy Kingdom doesn't welcome you!"

"You must be deliberately protecting the murderer. Otherwise, how could you not find the murderer? Hand over the murderer and punish him severely!"

"Expel humanity and return my light race to its sacredness!"

"What's going on?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"During the two days you were asleep, a group of human assassins killed one hundred and seventy-four light clansmen in and around Qiming City," Nie Lanxi said.

Ji Jiayu was shocked by the news, and it took him a while to calm down.

"Why did they suddenly appear and then suddenly act?"

"I don't know, but I think it's related to you," Nie Lanxi said.

Ji Jiayu fell silent. Although he knew that the deaths of the 174 Light Clan members weren't directly related to him, there was always an indirect connection.

Over 100 lives taken for no reason, and no one could accept it.

"Is the number of people continuing to increase?" Ji Jiayu suddenly looked up and asked.

"It's increasing," Nie Lanxi said.

"They're so unscrupulous, haven't any of them been caught?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"Yes, but they all committed suicide," Nie Lanxi said, "They should have committed suicide."

"We want to catch a living mouth," Ji Jiayu said.

As long as he catches a living mouth, he can interrogate it, then use the Sacred Gem to determine whether the other party is lying and ultimately deduce useful information.

But how are we supposed to find the killer? "Do they have a set of rules?"

"No."

"Is there a connection between the murdered Guangming people?"

"Random."

"Forget it. Let's go on the road first. We'll think about it as we go," Ji Jiayu said.

"Just go at our leisure?" Nie Lanxi asked.

"Well, ordinary people don't know us, and the members of the Light Supremacy Sect definitely know us. The momentum of this demonstration is very strong, I don't believe it without them behind it. Then let's go to the demonstration site to see who has ill intentions towards me, and we'll find out who it is," Ji Jiayu said.

"This is the way," Nie Lanxi said.

After saying that, Ji Jiayu couldn't wait to open the door of the safe house and walk out.

Not long after, Ji Jiayu appeared at the parade with a meat bun. After not eating for two days, he was really hungry.

There were many people at the parade and demonstration site, of which 30% were humans watching the excitement, 30% were mixed races of humans and light races, 5% were staff from the city lord's mansion maintaining order, and the remaining 35% were light people, and they were also the main force of the demonstration.

These Guangming people were basically all the Guangming people in Qiming City, of course, there were also many who came from other places.

"Get out of the Holy Kingdom!"

"Punish the murderer severely!"

Many people The Guangming people held flags and shouted slogans.

Seeing this, the surrounding people had complicated expressions: some remained silent, some looked indifferent, some were angry, some were furious, and some laughed.

Ji Jiayu's arrival didn't create any waves. However, this should only be temporary.

The parade's destination was the city lord's mansion in Qiming City, and there were anti-parade protesters on both sides and directly in front of them.

Ji Jiayu directly brought Nie Lanxi to the front of the anti-parade protesters, facing tens of thousands of Guangming people.

His movements undoubtedly exposed himself and Nie Lanxi under the noses of all the Guangming people.

Then, the Sacred Pearl began to warn.

"That's too much!" Sensing dozens of clear malice in front of him, Ji Jiayu didn't know who to rush to. Their positions were very scattered and their directions were different.

In just a few seconds, Ji Jiayu made a decision: find the few people he was most confident in stopping them instantly and not letting them commit suicide.

Just as he thought, Ji Jiayu didn't hesitate to emit his spiritual power, and a wind pattern... The rope at his feet suddenly opened, and his entire person rushed out like an arrow from the string.

Both the Guangming people who were demonstrating and the counter-protesters were stunned.

Demonstrations were commonplace in the Holy Kingdom, but the bare minimum rules had to be adhered to: safety, peace, and non-violence.

Therefore, although everyone's mood was tense, no one resorted to violence, at least in the cities where the Myojin were located.

Ji Jiayu's actions were too sudden, and the members of the Criminal Justice Department who had suddenly established order didn't react. Only then did the members of the Radiant Supremacy Sect who had seen Ji Jiayu and expressed their hostility towards him react.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Jiayu had already approached a woman. The woman watched Ji Jiayu's rapidly expanding figure, and her pupils constricted.

Ji Jiayu was utterly enraged. Although he already had a thorough understanding of the Radiant Supremacy Sect's unscrupulous methods, he couldn't imagine that those high-ranking officials of the Radiant Supremacy Sect could wield a butcher knife against his clan so easily.

Why? them? Would it lead to a confrontation between humanity and the light race? Would it really come to this?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and the sacred thunder pattern on Ji Jiayu's right palm suddenly flashed, and a large thunder bead fell down.
