Chapter 101: Eight Hundred Li Qingjiang River | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 8, 2025
The white light dissipated, leaving a pit at least ten zhang deep in the ground.
Within the pit, Bai Lian slowly stood up.
“Cough cough cough!”
She coughed and looked up at the sky: “If it weren’t for this robe, I would have been done for.”
The black robe she was wearing was clearly a rare magical artifact, protecting her from the attack just now. But now it was tattered in many places, occasionally revealing her snowy white skin.
In Bai Lian’s sight, a figure wearing the signature red and black robe of the Judicature Division slowly descended from the night sky.
He had a gaunt face and a thin three-inch beard. Even his voice was dry and thin, but his overall presence gave a sense of tangible power.
“To be able to react before my Incandescent Burst, you are truly not simple. I am curious… who was it that you just sent away?”
His tone changed, and he suddenly turned and accelerated, rushing towards the direction Jiang Wang had left!
White flames ignited, and Bai Lian rose from the ground, intercepting this Judicature Division expert with an unbelievable speed. Cold white flames bloomed like flowers, searing the night.
But!
This Judicature Division expert swayed, and had already passed through the white flame flowers, sticking close to Bai Lian.
The two were almost touching in the air, with half a body overlapping.
He reached out and pressed an Incandescent Burst against Bai Lian’s abdomen.
Pressing her whole body towards the ground!
He was prepared! Or rather, his sudden turn to chase Jiang Wang was a tactical move.
Boom!
The blazing light cluster pressed Bai Lian’s soft body down, smashing another large pit in the ground.
“Cough, cough!”
As the smoke and dust cleared, Bai Lian stood up from the pit again.
The blood coughed from her mouth had already soaked through her masked black scarf.
“Damn you Ji Xuan, always playing tricks. You deserve to be a dog for life!”
There was a clear wound on her abdomen, slowly healing in the burning white flames.
It turned out that the person who appeared in the sky was the third-ranked figure in the entire Judicature Division, the head of the Judicature Division in Qinghe County, Ji Xuan, a peak Internal Altar expert!
Unfazed by the barrage of curses, Ji Xuan said, “Knowing it was me, you still dare to resist?”
Bai Lian suddenly giggled: “Chief Ji, although you are strong, you don’t understand a woman’s heart. You started by tearing my clothes, which girl wouldn’t resist?”
Her voice was dreamlike, as if weaving a beautiful dream in a murmur, quietly enveloping Ji Xuan.
And almost at the same time, with Bai Lian as the center, scorching white lights crisscrossed, directly covering all positions within a radius of three zhang!
Illusory sound enters the dream, fierce light suppresses and kills.
Bai Lian used conversation as a lead, Ji Xuan used conversation as preparation. Two Grade A Upper Rank Dao techniques erupted almost simultaneously.
Although Bai Lian rushed out of the range of the Fierce Light Suppression at the first moment, the white flames on her body were obviously thinner and could no longer cover her whole body.
The difference in strength was obvious, especially since Bai Lian was injured first.
But the direction she rushed in… was Ji Xuan!
Of course, Illusory Sound Entering the Dream could not erase the spirit of an expert like Ji Xuan, but she only needed an opportunity. As long as Ji Xuan was in a trance for three breaths, she would have a chance to reverse the situation tonight!
A white flame flower bloomed in front of her jade-like palm, pressing towards Ji Xuan’s abdomen.
She was, of course, a vengeful woman.
Bang!
Bai Lian suddenly bumped into something, dazing her. Only then did she see that white lights, like lines, were interwoven together, forming a square cage in front of Ji Xuan, trapping Bai Lian inside!
White light like a wall, white light like a cage.
Obviously, Ji Xuan was also prepared for Bai Lian’s Illusory Sound Entering the Dream. He may not have been dizzy for even a breath, but he waited for Bai Lian to approach before suddenly erupting.
Crushing.
Complete and utter crushing.
From beginning to end, Ji Xuan controlled the entire battle.
He had never intended to kill Bai Lian, his goal was to capture her alive.
In the Cage of Light, Bai Lian once again condensed a white flame flower, but instead of trying to break the white light barrier, she unhesitatingly pressed it towards her own crown.
The moment she was trapped in the Cage of Light, she realized Ji Xuan’s purpose.
So, at the first moment, she gave her answer!
This move undoubtedly caught Ji Xuan off guard. He was very interested in Bai Lian and the entire organization behind her, otherwise, with his status as the head of the Judicature Division in Qinghe County, why would he personally take action tonight?
Bai Lian’s death, of course, was no loss to him. But it also meant that he would inevitably lose all the gains after that.
As decisive as Ji Xuan was, he dispersed the Cage of Light at the first moment. Approaching Bai Lian, his hand wrapped in white light, reaching out to grab the white flame flower.
The white flame flower turned and blasted towards Ji Xuan’s head.
Bai Lian’s attack on her own crown to commit suicide was of course a real move, otherwise, she would not have been able to deceive Ji Xuan. But when Ji Xuan tried to stop her from committing suicide, she immediately reversed to attack.
She was not afraid of death, but she did not want to die.
Ji Xuan’s hand, wrapped in white light, was held in front of his forehead, just blocking the white flame flower. The other hand clenched into a fist and slammed heavily into Bai Lian’s abdomen!
A person like Ji Xuan, even if he wanted to capture his opponent alive, would never give the opponent a chance. Capturing alive was the goal, but it was only a goal. Try to achieve it as much as possible, but not necessarily.
He was already angry, and this punch was without reservation.
Bai Lian curled into a shrimp shape in the air and was blasted away! The white flames on her body suddenly extinguished, just like the flame of her life, faltering.
Ji Xuan was about to step into the air to catch up.
Suddenly, boom!
Rumble!
Huge waves emptied, like war drums rumbling.
The entire vast river surface seemed to surge.
The Qing River shook!
A monstrous wave surged into the sky, and on top of the giant wave stood an old man wearing gorgeous robes.
“The head of the Judicature Division, Ji, who is responsible for the entire Qinghe County’s transcendent cases, what brings you to Qing River?”
He spoke almost breathlessly, but his voice overwhelmed the emptying waves, overwhelmed the roaring tide, and clearly entered Ji Xuan’s ears.
The old man standing on the crest of the wave was already hunched over.
Wrinkles covered his face, and age spots could not be hidden.
He looked very old.
But who dared to ignore him?
Who could ignore the master of the eight hundred miles of Qing River, Song Hengjiang!
……
Ji Xuan almost immediately restrained his aura, stopped in the air, and lowered his eyes slightly: “Lord Governor, Ji Xuan is on night patrol in Qinghe County and unintentionally discovered a demon fleeing here. As the head of the Judicature Division, appointed by the monarch and entrusted with the lives of the people, I dare not neglect!
In order to prevent this demon from harming the Lord Governor’s people, I took action in desperation. The situation was urgent and I failed to obtain the Lord Governor’s consent in advance, please forgive me.”
His words were airtight.
He expressed humility and pointed out his reliance. He also gave Song Hengjiang a way out.
As the third-ranked figure in the Judicature Division, in charge of the entire Qinghe County Judicature Division, his status was not lower than that of the Qinghe County Governor.
But at this time, he had to bow his head.
He knew. Since Song Hengjiang had personally appeared tonight, there must be an explanation.
He also felt that with his current status and the current situation of the human and water races, this way out was enough.
But Song Hengjiang just glanced at him lightly, lightly, with those cloudy eyes.
Then the corners of the old man’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile.
With this smile.
The twilight disappeared and arrogance arose!
“The descendants of Zhuang Chengqian are really getting more and more out of line. Fighting to the death under my nose!”
He put his hands behind his back: “For the sake of Zhuang Chengqian, you can slap yourself ten times and then leave.”
