Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Junze brought the message back to the Profound Moon Sword Sect and also explained his decision to leave the Northern Domain.
Unexpectedly, neither Zhou Dongfei nor Luo Bingyun blocked him again.
As for Yin Guangling's conditions, Zhou Dongfei also agreed, after all, in his situation where he couldn't leave the sect, without the help of the Judgment Department, Wang Junze simply couldn't safely leave the Northern Domain.
After arranging these trivial matters, Wang Junze once again set foot in Jubei City.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Su Yuwei once again feasted the people from various sects and families of the Northern Domain and officially announced the appointment of the City Lord of Jubei City in public.
The one succeeding the position of City Lord was Yin Guangling's apprentice Wu Chen, who himself was also a Path Realm powerhouse and had experience in commanding troops. Besides not being very familiar with the Northern Domain, he was actually a more suitable candidate than Wang Junze.
Of course, in addition, Yin Guangling personally appointed Wang Junze as the Inspector of the Judgment Department, tasked with inspecting the world.
In the Judgment Department, the position of Inspector is a temporary appointment and not an official post, which also signifies the attitude of the Judgment Department.
During the inspection, Wang Junze belongs to the Judgment Department and is protected by it, but once he steps down, he will have no relation with the Judgment Department.
Most importantly, Yin Guangling personally escorted Wang Junze out of the Northern Domain.
This completely severed the possibility of those under Prince Yu taking the opportunity to continue pursuing Wang Junze.
After all, with a Saint Realm powerhouse personally escorting him away, it was enough to conceal all traces. Even Ximen Piaoxue could not catch up to Yin Guangling, not to mention that once they left the Northern Domain, no one knew which direction Wang Junze was heading, making it impossible to pursue him.
...
Stepping out from the void, Wang Junze's face was somewhat pale.
Even with the protection of Yin Guangling's power, forcibly escaping into the void still brought great pressure on Wang Junze, yet this direct escape into the void was the safest way.
"Alright, we are now over a thousand miles away from the Northern Domain. Prince Yu's men can't pursue us anymore... Next, you need to change your identity, and it's best not to perform the Profound Moon Sword Technique anymore. By doing this, everything should be fine."
Looking at Wang Junze, Yin Guangling reminded him again.
"Thank you, sir!"
Bowing slightly, Wang Junze softly expressed his gratitude.
"No need to be polite, this is merely a transaction between us. Now, let's talk about what I need you to do."
Waving his hand, Yin Guangling said indifferently: "From this place head east for another three thousand miles, and you'll reach the Nether Sea. I need you to find a way to infiltrate the Nether Sea and kill someone!"
"Hmm?"
Startled slightly, Wang Junze couldn't help but be a bit surprised and instinctively asked, "Does the Judgment Department need to delegate a killing?"
"This person is a traitor to the department and is extremely familiar with us, making it impossible for our experts to approach." Shaking his head, Yin Guangling explained, "Most importantly, the Nether Sea is a gathering place for Demon Cultivators, and it also contains Saint Realm powerhouses. Even I wouldn't dare to enter easily."
Demon Cultivators!
Regarding Demon Cultivators, Wang Junze was slightly aware that these cultivators take a shortcut that is sinister and cruel, making them, in some aspects, even more terrifying than the Demon Race.
Moreover, because of this, both the Court and various sects' attitude towards Demon Cultivators is to kill them directly!
As a result, most Demon Cultivators have gathered at the Nether Sea, which is a truly chaotic place, unbound by any laws, where strength reigns supreme.
Before Wang Junze could inquire further, Yin Guangling directly took out a jade scroll and said in a deep voice, "All the information about this person is in this jade scroll. Memorize it and then destroy the jade scroll immediately."
"Yes!"
At this point, Wang Junze naturally understood that he had no room for retreat. No matter how dangerous it might be, he must make a trip to the Nether Sea.
"You have a year to kill this person, and then the task will be considered complete. Otherwise... it will be a failure, and I will order to cancel your identity as an Inspector, and... announce your presence in the Nether Sea."
Yin Guangling spoke indifferently, "Of course, I won't let you risk your life without reason. If you truly manage to kill this person, come to the Capital City, and the department will naturally give you enough reward."
"By then, if you're willing, I could also recommend you to the Director, formally adding you to the Judgment Department."
A year's time is already an extremely stringent time limit.
However, Wang Junze didn't care, considering that the grand wedding of Su Yuwei and Prince Yu was also about a year away. If he couldn't kill the opponent within this time, he probably wouldn't be qualified to head to the Capital City to stop this wedding.
"I've memorized it."
Nodding slightly, Wang Junze agreed again.
"Oh, one more thing to remind you of!"
As if remembering something, Yin Guangling spoke again: "Your Profound Moon Sword Sect's Li Shang Sword Venerable last appeared at the Nether Sea. If he's alive, he should also be within the Nether Sea."
With a slight twitch of his eyelids, Wang Junze hadn't expected to learn any news about the Li Shang Sword Venerable.
However, this also further confirmed the danger of the Nether Sea.
"Alright, I've told you everything. Now it's up to your skills."
After saying these words, Yin Guangling didn't dawdle any longer and disappeared into the void with one step.
With a wry smile, Wang Junze took out the jade scroll, submerged his consciousness into it, and examined the information about the Judgment Department traitor mentioned earlier.
A moment later, Wang Junze put down the jade scroll, gently rubbed his temples, and after carefully recalling the information and memorizing all of it, he then crushed the jade scroll.
This person, named Dugu Feng, is a woman who betrayed the Judgment Department three years ago during an encirclement against Demon Cultivators, causing the deaths of dozens of the department's experts, and stole a divine weapon.
Three years ago, Dugu Feng had already entered the Void Realm, afterwards, switching to cultivating Demon Skills, and now it's rumored she has reached Divine Travel, though it's uncertain if it's true.
Furthermore, it's said that after entering the Nether Sea, she sought refuge with a Saint Realm demon, having significant influence, making it even harder to kill her.
The only good news is the demon she sought refuge with has been in seclusion for years without making an appearance. Otherwise, attempting to kill Dugu Feng under the protection of a Saint Realm demon would be an almost impossible task.
However, no matter what, for Wang Junze, it is undoubtedly a mission fraught with extreme danger.
Of course, Yin Guangling had also left a way out.
If Wang Junze didn't wish to take on the risk, he still had the chance to avoid the Nether Sea now. By abandoning this mission, he could quietly choose to head elsewhere or even return to the Northern Domain.
But by doing so, in the future, upon entering the Capital City, the Judgment Department would likely become Wang Junze's enemy.
