Chapter 216 Second Update
Ju Nanyi was surprised inside. So, this beast that the Commander-in-chief Ling mentioned was once an Evil Cult? Ju Nanyi even recalled that this cult had a name, probably called something like Ghoul Ravine.
"Lord Ju, it seems that the men under Commander Ling Ge were killed by this monster," Qi Ling, following behind, now slowly spoke up. "We currently do not know how many such monsters have infiltrated Zheng Capital and whether it might cause... like in the past..."
Qi Ling suddenly shut his mouth, stepped quickly forward, and opened a door hidden at the foot of the mountain within the dense forest.
"Who’s there?" A voice quickly came from the darkness.
This place was the Royal Hunting Area, normally off-limits, and the voice emanating from the darkness sounded fierce and bitterly cold, as if it could strike at any moment.
"It’s the Crown Prince—" Qi Ling immediately answered, followed by the rustling noise of branches, and a person swiftly appeared in front of Zheng Congyuan and two others.
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Crown Prince—"
"Lead the way—" Zheng Congyuan commanded, and the person immediately got up and walked out.
Seeing this, Ju Nanyi quickly followed. He had arrived at the Criminal Investigation and Prison Department early, and he had even pondered over the Crown Prince’s intentions, but it was only a guess that the Crown Prince wanted him to slowly infiltrate the powers of those people for gradual dissolution.
Therefore, his guess on the carriage was probably right, if not for the sudden emergence of these Evil Cult members, the Crown Prince would not have brought him here so quickly.
However, Ju Nanyi always harbored a half-believing, half-skeptical attitude toward Qiandao Temple and the Evil Cult, and at his level, he could not possibly come into contact with miraculous beings like Master Huo Yi or Master Yu Sheng. The only ones that had been made known to him also doubted the existence of spirits and ghosts; he was not accustomed to attributing unexplainable things to ghostly beings and spirits.
