Brother Gou was angry.
The consequences were severe.
Although Chen Nan knew it wouldn't kill him and Guo Yu.
But one thing was obvious.
Their fate would be utterly miserable.
Therefore.
The immediate crisis had to be resolved.
Di Ting must not be allowed to return and deal with them.
He chuckled and said, "Guo Yu, do you really think our little tricks can fool Brother Gou?"
"Naive!"
"You're too naive!"
"He is the number one divine beast of the underworld."
"He truly possesses the ability to listen to all three realms."
"Although it seems like we tricked him."
"But..."
"We can't look at things one-sidedly."
"Is it possible that..."
"Brother Gou already detected that we were putting on an act."
"He deliberately didn't expose us, just to watch our performance?"
"He's treating us like monkeys being tricked on the street."
"So!"
"You're just being self-important, thinking we've won."
"But is that the result?"
"I believe Brother Gou will have the last laugh."
"Remember, don't try to be clever with Brother Gou in the future."
"It's akin to seeking your own humiliation, finding your own trouble."
As he finished speaking, he looked nervously towards the door. "Huh, Brother Gou, why are you back?"
"What were you guys chatting about? Who's seeking their own humiliation?" Di Ting walked in with elegant and steady steps.
Chen Nan gave a sheepish smile and quickly said, "Just chatting!"
"Oh!" Di Ting replied, "My mouth is a bit bland, I want to eat something." With that, he picked up a piece of braised meat and disappeared from Chen Nan and Guo Yu's sight.
He had originally intended to severely punish Chen Nan and Guo Yu.
But he discovered...
He couldn't do that!
If he were to act against Chen Nan and the other.
Wouldn't that prove that he had been fooled by them?
Wouldn't that be tantamount to a confession?
Moreover, Chen Nan was right.
He had long since detected their intentions.
Indeed.
That's why he didn't expose them, just to watch their performance.
"This Chen Nan is quite something."
"Truly worthy of being chosen by those old guys."
"This guy is reliable."
"Unlike Guo Yu..."
"What a piece of trash!"
"Serves you right that Chang'e stole the immortal medicine and left you!"
"Serves you right that you were betrayed and killed by your own disciple!"
"Pah!"
"Worthless!"
------
Di Ting left quickly.
He also returned quickly.
However, upon his return, the scene before him made him gnash his teeth.
He appeared extremely angry.
Seeing Chen Nan and the others gathered around the dining table, happily eating dinner, Di Ting was furious. "Didn't you say these food were bought for me?"
"Why are you eating this stuff behind my back?"
"Why are you fighting with a dog for food?"
Chen Nan frowned.
What was the meaning of this?
Going through a rebellious phase?
Why the sudden tantrums?
Without further thought.
He quickly said, "Brother Gou, don't be angry, it's my fault, my fault."
"Mainly, I underestimated your strength."
"I didn't expect you to accomplish something I couldn't in such a short time!"
Di Ting snorted, "You're a smooth talker, kid."
Saying that, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden light.
Instantly.
The dazzling golden light filled the entire room.
A sacred and ancient aura instantly permeated the air.
Making everyone's breathing grow heavy.
It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping their throats.
Not only that.
Before this sacred power.
Everyone felt their physical bodies were about to shatter.
Unable to withstand this aura.
As the golden light gradually faded.
Five golden sheets of paper appeared.
Were these not the five lost pages of the Book of Life and Death?
On the Book of Life and Death.
Chen Nan saw the densely packed names.
These were the names of all the previous directors of the Monster Suppressing Division.
The case of the mysterious deaths of the directors of the Monster Suppressing Division.
It had now been resolved.
Guo Yu, enduring the powerful aura released by the Book of Life and Death, asked nervously, "Big brother, what do we do next?"
"Do we go directly to the Tuo family to arrest them?"
"Even if we arrest them directly, the Tuo family will absolutely not admit to stealing the Book of Life and Death."
Di Ting said, "How about I return these five pages of the Book of Life and Death?"
"Then we'll catch them red-handed."
"Let's see what the Tuo family has to say!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly, "We'll do as you say!"
Di Ting vanished with a whoosh.
Chen Nan looked at the Lu sisters and said, "You guys eat first, I'll be back soon!" He then took out the communication token of the Monster Suppressing Division and directly summoned the Four Divine Constables, ordering them to lead their men to rendezvous at the Tuo family.
At the same time.
He soared into the sky and headed straight for the Tuo family.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Tuo family.
Qi Ye, Kuang Tu, and Qiu Shui had already led the experts of the Monster Suppressing Division to await him.
Bai Yu was not seen.
Qi Ye said, "My lord, Bai Yu is out on a mission!"
Chen Nan grunted and said nothing more.
After all, the Monster Suppressing Division often had to deal with emergencies.
Chen Nan looked at the imposing and strict Tuo Manor before him and directly ordered, "Qiu Shui, send people to surround the Tuo Manor. If anyone escapes, you will be held responsible!"
"Kuang Tu, break down the door!"
"If you encounter any resistance, kill them without mercy!"
Upon hearing this.
The expressions of the three Divine Constables changed drastically.
Qi Ye quickly said, "My lord, Tuo Zhan is the magistrate of Guangling. To rashly besiege the Tuo Manor is a serious crime and requires reporting to Fengdu City."
The Tuo family had been passed down for thousands of years.
Even Yuan Zun couldn't touch them.
Let alone the mere Monster Suppressing Division.
Even if the Tuo family were truly guilty, an order from the Great Emperor himself would be required.
Rashly besieging the Tuo Manor was a capital offense!
"I will bear the consequences if anything happens. Your job is to obey!" Chen Nan said, unleashing a palm strike. Terrifying Yin energy instantly shattered the main gate of the Tuo Manor.
An earth-shattering roar erupted.
Qi Ye's face turned pale.
Chen Nan's actions were too reckless!
He didn't consider the consequences at all.
Nor did he play by the rules.
Although he repeatedly said he would bear the consequences.
They dared not entrust their lives to him.
"My lord, if you cannot give us a satisfactory explanation, we cannot obey your orders!" Qi Ye said with a solemn expression.
Even if it meant defying orders.
They wouldn't follow Chen Nan's reckless path.
Chen Nan calmly looked at Qi Ye. "All previous directors of the Monster Suppressing Division died because of the lost Book of Life and Death."
"And those five lost pages of the Book of Life and Death are in the hands of the Tuo family."
"Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Upon hearing this.
Everyone gasped.
They never dreamed that those five lost pages of the Book of Life and Death were in the hands of the Tuo family.
Without further thought.
Qi Ye directly ordered, "Proceed as Lord Chen commands!"
"Yes!"
Qiu Shui immediately led his men to surround the Tuo Manor.
Meanwhile, Kuang Tu led a group of people grandly into the Tuo Manor.
At the same time.
A group of experts from the Tuo family came forward to meet them.
The person at the forefront, filled with rage, said, "Who are you? Are you tired of living?"
"How dare you break into the Tuo Manor at night?"
Kuang Tu directly showed his token. "Monster Suppressing Division investigating a case. Surrender your weapons if you don't want to die!"
Just then.
Tuo Zhan and his son, clad in long robes, emerged with grim expressions. "The Monster Suppressing Division dares to come to my Tuo family to investigate a case? Does this Chen guy not put my Tuo family in his eyes at all?"
"Where is he? Tell him to get out here and see me!"
