After leaving Zichen Palace, Dong Ming met the head of the Soul-Suppressing Division.

The head of the Soul-Suppressing Division didn't seem surprised that Dong Ming was able to come out safe and sound.

When the two of them passed by almost shoulder to shoulder, the head of the Soul Suppression Division said quietly:

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't use your eldest and second brothers as pawns."

"They are my most powerful right-hand men."

"It is precisely because I am reassured that the Soul-Suppressing Department has been given full authority to them."

Dong Ming paused suddenly, then spoke:

"I believe it."

"But, in your mind, loyalty to the king is always the most important."

"Because of your loyalty to the king, and because you wanted to balance the evil affairs of the royal family, you sacrificed your junior brother, the paper groom."

"Whether it's the eldest brother or the second brother, they just don't let you weigh the two sides at this stage."

The head of the Soul-Suppressing Division sighed softly, and he didn't know whether he was sighing at Dong Ming's cleverness or at his own powerlessness:

"So...you asked them for two iron coupons for alchemy books?"

"Now that you are one of the Nine Calculators of the Changsheng Palace, you should also understand that your Majesty can give or receive the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book."

Dong Ming smiled:

"Yes."

"So... I naturally have the means to prevent him from taking back these two iron coupons of elixirs!"

After saying that, Dong Ming left.

The head of the Soul-Suppressing Division seemed to understand something and suddenly turned his head to look at Dong Ming.

Under the black veil, his eyes looked horrified for the first time.

His heart was full of uneasiness.

Could it be that... Dong Ming has really reached that point?!

But is it possible?

It has only been more than half a year since I left Chang'an City.

One person can transform to such an extent!

…

Dong Ming left the imperial city. His steps seemed to be very fast, but also seemed to be very slow.

After sealing the corpse flower, the power brought by it made Dong Ming faintly feel some changes in his body.

At the same time, the physical body made by seven masters together gave him a special feeling.

"Maybe... I should take the initiative."

When he reached an alley, Dong Ming turned in naturally.

In the shadows, Bai Ruchou's figure appeared behind Dong Ming.

Dong Ming looked strange: "I thought... the contact person in Chang'an was not you."

"Now it seems... you seem to be 'everywhere'?"

Bai RuChou said with a smile:

"Since the Seventh Master joined the Changsheng Palace, he first gathered the power of the Ninth Master and Feng Wujun."

"The one who took care of the five divisions for the palace master again."

"Now...it also serves as a bridge between the palace master and the emperor."

"The Palace Master is very happy and understands what the Seventh Master wants."

"The palace master said that if the alchemy book and the iron certificate are handed over to him, he will naturally give a satisfactory explanation to the Seventh Master."

Dong Ming nodded.

The box brought from the palace was handed over to Bai Ruchou.

After Bai Ruchou opened it for inspection, he nodded slightly.

This time, Dong Ming suddenly felt that the expression on Bai Ruchou's face seemed a little different.

"The Seven Masters."

"In addition...the Palace Master asked me to remind you of something."

"This time, the case of the Jade Buddha that the emperor asked you to investigate is related to the Sixth Master."

"Oh?" Dong Ming's eyebrows twitched: "Is he also in Chang'an City?"

Bai RuChou shook his head:

"The Sixth Master is dead."

Dong Ming was stunned.

Bai Ruchou did not reply to Dong Ming's intention, and his figure silently disappeared into the shadows.

Dong Ming frowned.

The Sixth Master is dead?

When we were in the Changsheng Palace, the screens behind them meant that not a single member of the Nine Counts was missing.

Now it seems that the Sixth Master has died in such a short period of time after leaving the Changsheng Palace?

Or should I say, this "death" itself is not...

Dong Ming shook his head and left the alley as if nothing had happened.

When they arrived at the Soul-Suppressing Division, Dong Ming estimated that his eldest brother and second brother were not in Huanyue Pavilion, but had already returned and were waiting for news.

But in my current situation, if I go in, I'm afraid...it's hard to say.

"That's fine."

Dong Ming shook his head and came to the door of the Zhenhun Division.

When the soul-suppressing guards saw Dong Ming dressed in casual clothes, they were stunned for a moment, and then they realized and were overjoyed.

"Dong Ming, you are back!"

"Long time no see!"

"How have you been during this time!"

Everyone is very enthusiastic.

Although at the beginning, Dong Ming's departure was strange.

But these colleagues who deal with ghosts and gods on daily basis are not idiots, and they all understand it tacitly.

"Brother Dongming!"

A young man walked not far away.

"Little Mo'er!"

Dong Ming also smiled.

He hasn't seen Liu Mo for a long time.

Liu Mo's body and energy also look much better.

At this time, Liu Ye and Zhu Yun heard the noise and came out.

"Eldest brother, second brother." Dong Ming nodded slightly.

Zhu Yun understood this and immediately brought Dong Ming to his room.

After closing the door, Liu Ye also put a charm on the door.

Dong Ming was slightly startled by this operation, but he quickly came to his senses.

It seems that... during his absence, his brother's trust in the soul-suppressing director has been getting lower and lower.

Immediately, Dong Ming revealed the matter of cooperating with the emperor and the Jade Buddha in his belly.

After listening, Liu Ye frowned:

"Why did you interfere in the affairs of the dynasty as soon as you came back?"

"This is too dangerous."

Dong Ming shook his head:

"I am now a high-ranking official in the Changsheng Palace. The Emperor and the Changsheng Palace are cooperating and will not touch me easily."

"As for the Alchemy and Iron Coupon, I have my own arrangements. Otherwise, giving it to my brother directly will only bring disaster to you."
