Chapter 1372: The Northern and Southern War (IV)
Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji ultimately decided to lure Du Juanzhi by summoning her to a meeting.At first, Du Juanzhi was not at all suspicious. When she arrived at the meeting venue and saw Huangfu Ji present, she felt something was off but did not think much of it.
When several elite members of Juesheng Hall entered, Du Juanzhi finally realized something was wrong. She turned to leave, but her escape route was already blocked.
These elites were all Heavenly Beings, and with their numerical advantage, they surrounded her completely.
Panicked, Du Juanzhi shouted, “I’m here for the meeting. What are you doing?”
A Deputy Juesheng Hall Master stepped forward and began reading the arrest and investigation order to her.
Before he could finish, Du Juanzhi suddenly roared, broke through the encirclement, and lunged straight at Huangfu Ji.
Huangfu Ji was still injured. If Du Juanzhi struck him, the consequences could be severe. Yet he showed no concern, merely watching her frenzied actions coldly.
At the critical moment, Qi Xuansu appeared from nowhere and subdued Du Juanzhi with a single move.
What followed was the search and interrogation. Juesheng Hall searched her residence and personal magical receptacle, uncovering evidence of collusion. There were coded manuals, large sums of unexplained Gold Pounds, and special tokens used to contact the Holy Court.
This fully confirmed Du Juanzhi’s identity as a spy. There was no possibility of wrongful accusation.
Huangfu Ji personally interrogated her, and Du Juanzhi confessed without denial.
