Yuan Muye was speaking, and the old Taoist's gaze turned to the black line on Yuan Muye's wrist. After only one glance, his expression changed involuntarily.

"Little friend, how did you get this?"

"How I got it, I won't go into details. Can you find a way to remove the black line on my wrist?"

Yuan Muye knew that the black line on his wrist was a powerful Yin energy.

Even with his current strength at the mid-stage of the Great Power realm, he couldn't do anything about it.

This made Yuan Muye quite troubled.

Seeing that Yuan Muye was unwilling to talk about it, the old Taoist naturally didn't ask further.

He only said, "This poor Taoist will give it a try."

After saying that, the old Taoist began to try. He asked Yuan Muye to sit down, and a stream of true qi quickly entered Yuan Muye's body through his back.

This stream of true qi gave Yuan Muye a different feeling.

It seemed different from the aura in Yuan Muye's own body, vaguely able to suppress the aura in his body, but also able to cause a rebound.

After waiting for a while, about half an hour, Yuan Muye felt much better in his body.

But when he opened his eyes and looked at his wrist, he found that the black line was still there.

At this time, the old Taoist also opened his eyes. He naturally knew what was going on with Yuan Muye, but he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Little friend, it's difficult."

Yuan Muye responded softly and then said, "Thank you very much, Taoist priest."

"It's nothing, it's what this poor Taoist should do. This poor Taoist always feels that you and that girl have extraordinary fates and may have quite a bit of achievement in the future."

The old Taoist said with a serious face.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "Little friend, this poor Taoist doesn't have many days left. In the future, we still have to rely on you. I hope that when you have the ability, you can uphold justice for the world."

He stared at Yuan Muye earnestly.

Hearing this, Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel some waves in his heart, and then he slowly said, "I will, Taoist priest."

Yuan Muye explained some things here.

After greeting everyone, he left the Jade Stone World.

Back in the hotel, Yuan Muye let out a long breath. The top priority was to improve his strength.

However, the fact that he didn't have any negative emotion points now was also a troublesome thing for Yuan Muye.

After a simple rest for the night, the next day at lunch, it was a dinner arranged by Yun City.

After the meal, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu didn't show up.

He was acting mysteriously, which made Yuan Muye start to become curious about what their mission was!

Finally, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Section Chief Chen called everyone to the Yun City Main Bureau.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit沉闷 (chénmèn, heavy/depressing).

The overall feeling was serious.

After Yuan Muye and the others sat down, no one inside made a sound, and they all remained silent.

After waiting for about three minutes, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu walked in from outside the door. When everyone saw him, they stood up.

All eyes were on him.

Seeing this scene, a look of satisfaction appeared on Deputy Bureau Chief Liu's face. Then he said, "Sit down, everyone."

After everyone sat down, he continued, "Everyone, this operation is a joint operation between us and Jiang City, so I would like to thank our colleagues in Jiang City for their support."

Section Chief Chen said at this time, "This is what we should do."

"Section Chief Chen is too polite. There's no such thing as what should be done."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Yuan Muye couldn't help but say, "Bureau Chief Liu, let's get to the point."

"Negative emotion points from Deputy Bureau Chief Liu +199..."

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't waste everyone's time. Tonight's operation is to go to a ghost cave, eliminate the evil ghosts inside, and rescue an important person."

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said seriously.

"Rescue an important person?"

Everyone was very curious, and a look of doubt appeared on their faces.

"Bureau Chief Liu, wouldn't people who are captured by evil ghosts usually be eaten by the evil ghosts immediately? How could there be any survivors?"

"In theory, that's true, but the situation is different this time. These evil ghosts captured this person with a clear plan and premeditation. And this person has a protective talisman on him, so ordinary evil ghosts really can't deal with him for the time being."

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said very seriously.

At this time, someone asked curiously, "Bureau Chief Liu, who exactly is this person? Can you tell us?"

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said seriously at this time, "This is top secret."

When everyone heard the words "top secret," they became serious and didn't dare to ask further.

Moreover, knowing such top-secret information wouldn't do them any good.

It was better not to know.

Yuan Muye was also very curious as to how a person who was captured by evil ghosts could still be alive.

Vaguely, Yuan Muye felt that Deputy Bureau Chief Liu was lying.

But Yuan Muye couldn't question this kind of operation.

He had no choice but to remain silent.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye asked, "Bureau Chief Liu, when will we take action?"

"Today, I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Meet at the door in half an hour."

"Yes."

Everyone responded in agreement.

Yuan Muye and the others came from Jiang City, so they naturally didn't bring any equipment.

So they needed to get the equipment from Yun City.

After getting the equipment, there were several cars waiting outside.

There were about twenty people in this operation.

Everyone quickly got into the cars and prepared to depart.

The car drove forward and soon left Yun City.

Why was this operation a joint effort between the two cities? To some extent, Yun City's strength was much stronger than Jiang City's. There was really no need for people from Jiang City to help.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Muye suddenly asked Section Chief Chen, "Section Chief, did you ask me to come on this operation? Or...?"

Section Chief Chen was stunned for a few seconds by this question, but he quickly recovered and said, "This operation was actually Deputy Bureau Chief Liu specifically requesting that you come."

Yuan Muye: "..."

The uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger.

He had contacted Deputy Bureau Chief Liu a few times before, and those few contacts gave Yuan Muye a bad feeling.

But he didn't take it to heart.

He always felt that this guy was targeting him, but he didn't take any action.

But this time, Yuan Muye felt that Deputy Bureau Chief Liu was going to take action against him.

Could it be that the reason he didn't take action against him before was because his strength wasn't enough?

Now that his strength had reached a certain level, he was taking action against him?

He was thinking all the way and forgot to reply.

At this time, Section Chief Chen's voice rang in his ear, "What's wrong? Section Chief Yuan, is there anything wrong?"

"No, I was just asking casually."

Yuan Muye said lightly.
