Chapter 590: Solve the Case Within a Day!

Back in the Thunder Department, the heat was unbearable, both in the sky and on the ground.

The Thunder Immortal Formation pressed low, oppressively low.

Thunderbolts, like serpents of lightning, surged through the air, scattering sparks that twisted the very fabric of space with their intense heat.

News of the massacre in Sky Soaring City spread through the sacred land of the Thunder Department at a terrifying speed, shocking and enraging countless Immortals!

In the central part of the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office, nestled among the mountains, there was a quaint courtyard.

The courtyard bloomed with celestial flora, filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance, akin to a dreamlike utopia.

WHOOSH! A youth clad in platinum armor descended from the heavens, landing with a heavy thud.

His eyes blazed with fury, and his breathing was labored. Before him stood a resplendent palace, adorned with a plaque inscribed with the words Pleasing Pavilion.

Everyone knew that this pavilion was the private courtyard of the Thunder Department's enchantress, Cao Shuo. Typically, only she entered and left its confines.

"Lu Yao?"

The doors of the pavilion opened, and Thunder Emissary Cao emerged, clad in a split violet gown that shimmered with a luminous glow. Her slightly curled hair mischievously draped over her cleavage, with pure white droplets sliding down the strands, enhancing the crystalline clarity of her skin.

She had clearly just bathed in celestial blossoms, her body radiating warmth and an intense fragrance, like a ripe peach exuding steamy white mist.

"Thunder Emissary Cao." Yun Xiao's eyes burned fiercely, his voice hoarse and laden with aggressive intent!

He strode towards Thunder Emissary Cao, quickening his pace, and along the way, he pulled a small black beast from his bosom, hurling it accurately into the crevice between two white rock formations!

"What are you doing?" Thunder Emissary Cao, seeing this young man behaving like a wild beast, was momentarily stunned, frozen in the doorway.

In that instant, Yun Xiao collided with her, pushing her to the ground!

RIP! Fragments of violet fabric, mingled with floral scents, flew wildly through the air.

SLAM! The doors of the Pleasing Pavilion slammed shut with a resounding crash!

It was just before dawn, the sky still shrouded in darkness.

In the faint glow from the door, the shadows of two large white lanterns appeared!

They shifted and transformed, glowing with a pure white luminescence!

The high-pitched, fierce sounds of battle were deafening from the very start, echoing through the entire sea of flowers.

The wild tumult did not cease for a moment...

▬ι══????✧⚰️✧????══ι▬

In the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office, within a solemn hall surrounded by thunderous light, the roar of thunder was overwhelming!

At this moment, the 100 high officials of the Thunder Department were gathered!

"Very well!" Gu Zhenxiao shot a cold glance at Cao Sheng.

Earlier that night, Lu Yao had shattered the Sword Suppression Gate, displaying terrifying swordsmanship talent. Later, he allegedly slaughtered a city?

Gu Zhenxiao had already ordered searches for the boy across the Thunder Department. With reason now, there was no need for subtlety. He promptly declared, "Deploy 10,000 Arbiters. Search the Thunder Department for Lu Yao!"

Regardless of his involvement, he would be detained.

"Does anyone have other insights?" Gu Zhenxiao scanned the room.

"I do," the Eight Directions Cloud Thunder General Yun Yin spoke in a soft voice.

Gu Zhenxiao looked at him calmly.

"During the day, a rumor spread that Lu Yao had an encounter with the Seventh Princess in Sky Soaring City. I investigated and found that the source of this rumor was a girl named Gu Sutao. Moreover, Gu Sutao appeared in the Projection Orbs spread through Sky Soaring City," Yun Yin said.

Below, Gu Suwan was startled and said, "That girl is hiding something."

Yun Yin nodded and said, "First, we need to capture her for interrogation. We must understand everything about her time in the mortal realm. The Sky Soaring City incident involves the Celestial Court's incense offerings and cannot tolerate any mistakes."

"I'll go capture her." Gu Suwan stood up, a sense of righteous indignation in her demeanor.

At that moment, someone came in to report, "Reporting to the two Generals, there have been sounds of commotion from Thunder Emissary Cao's private residence. Lu Yao might be inside."

Gu Zhenxiao stood up and said to Yun Yin, "You interrogate Gu Sutao. I'll go catch this little fly."

Yun Yin nodded.

WHOOSH! The 100 Immortals of the Thunder Department immediately split into two groups. One followed Gu Zhenxiao out, while the other remained behind.

As he stepped out of the hall, Gu Zhenxiao glanced at the sky.

"In half an hour, the sixth round of the Thunder Department selection should commence," he said.

Cao Sheng bowed his head and said, "Supreme General, if Lu Yao has been with Cao Shuo all this time, he might not be involved in the Sky Soaring City incident."

Gu Zhenxiao shrugged and said, "Whether he's involved or not doesn't matter. I just need a reason to catch him."

With that, he shot a glare at Cao Sheng.

"You couldn't even catch a Rank 9 Arbiter!"

"It's mainly because of my sister's interference. In broad daylight, I couldn't act," Cao Sheng said, bowing his head.

"Cao Shuo has grown increasingly arrogant under my protection. It's time for a whipping." The Supreme General gave a cold smile and, with a group of Thunder Department Immortals, flew off into the sky!
