"The ominous premonition suddenly grew stronger."
The moment Han Dang entered the apartment, his heart skipped a beat.
He chose to take action today because Gu Shen's review was scheduled for today... According to the intelligence, Mr. Shu has already returned to Dateng City. In order to ensure Gu Shen's personal safety, Zhou JiRen will definitely accompany him for the review.
If this old man is not present.
Then he can act without too much concern.
"Such a strong ominous feeling... Is it that woman surnamed Luo?" Han Dang quickly left the elevator and arrived in front of Gu Shen's apartment. If possible, he didn't want to have a direct conflict with that woman.
He and Luo Er entered the Judgement Hall at the same time, so he knew... how difficult she could be.
But time does not allow him to hesitate any longer.
Take the token, submit it to the review team, and end it all.
Once the bow is drawn, the arrow cannot be turned back!
Han Dang pressed his hand against the door frame, took a deep breath.
The 【True Words】 domain was instantly activated, and several shadows overlapped in front of the apartment door. He only used the simplest side-writing technique, and the password sequence to open the door lock flowed backwards in his dream...
"Click."
Very smooth.
The door opened.
Han Dang went straight to the bedroom and saw a large standing storage cabinet. There was a small bronze lock on the third drawer.
This kind of lock requires a key to turn.
The sense of urgency in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Han Dang no longer had the patience to look for the key.
Expressionless, his palm covered the surface of the small bronze lock, and his mental power surged out like a tide. In just an instant, the lock tongue was shattered, and the drawer opened smoothly.
"..."
Han Dang's expression turned gloomy as he stared at the object inside the drawer.
A slender password box.
The same small password lock securely held the opening and closing, and there was a solemn warning written on the password box: "Do not open without permission."
"Are you kidding me?"
In the next moment, Han Dang's expression changed drastically.
Someone is here!
He reacted quickly, quickly hugged the password box, and then sprinted towards the bedroom balcony. The large glass window on the ground was instantly shattered by him, and people on the street heard the sound of high-rise glass breaking.
People looked up.
But the high-rise apartment was calm.
It all seemed like an illusion.
Countless shards of glass flew in the air. In the moment of shattering, the direction of their flight was changed by an indescribable rule, and then they flowed back like water--
"Splash."
The flowing water solidified, and the glass reassembled.
Han Dang's pupils contracted. He was still in the sprinting posture, but the direction he flew out was completely opposite to what he had originally planned.
He originally wanted to jump out of the high-rise apartment where Gu Shen was located... but at this moment, he collided with the direction of the entrance.
What happened?
What kind of ability is this?
His mind went blank, and he keenly sensed a hint of danger. In the direction he was about to collide, there was an extremely thin but tightly stretched black hair sticking to both ends of the door frame.
This hair flickered with a cold light in the breeze.
If he collided with it, he would probably be cut directly!
"This is... that woman's seal!"
Han Dang's golden wire glasses emitted a glimmer of light. He raised two fingers and pressed them against the front of his throat. When he collided with the hair, the hair did not cut his head off as tightly as iron.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
The sticky substance at both ends of the hair broke directly, and a cloud of dust splashed out from both sides of the door frame. Han Dang stopped his momentum somewhat embarrassedly, stood firm, and stared at the trio outside the smoke and dust with a gloomy expression.
Nanjin drew two knives and remained on high alert, her attention highly focused, ready to face the upcoming battle.
As for Zhong Wei, he had his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed. He looked around Gu Shen's apartment, not even giving Han Dang a second glance... because he knew that this battle might not happen at all.
Or perhaps, it had already ended.
Luo Shijie rolled up her sleeves to her upper arm, her snow-white arms, like lotus roots, were densely wrapped around her black hair, which flowed like a waterfall and covered the floor. The glass outside the window no longer let light through, and the entire apartment was sealed off. Only the light from the bright lamp scattered sporadically.
"We meet again, Han Dang."
Luo Shijie pulled out a chair and sat down casually, smiling: "In these years, there have been fewer and fewer officials in the Judgement Hall who can execute high-risk missions. Since you have come to Dateng City, why sneak around? You could have just come to have tea with me."
"Luo Er..."
Han Dang stood in the smoke and dust of the collapsed door frame, frowned, waved his hand, and dispersed the dust with his mental power.
Since he was caught, there was nothing to say.
Everyone was just acting, and they all knew it. It's just that it was exposed now.
"You should know what mission I came to Dateng City for." Han Dang lightly tapped the iron box in his arms with a finger and said calmly, "Your junior brother, who has not yet been accepted into the sect, has a questionable background. I'm afraid he won't meet the entry review standards of the Judgement Hall."
"Oh... is that so."Sister Luo said indifferently, "How can you be so sure?"
"The evidence is in my hands." Han Dang said coldly, "The truth of the fire incident... I'm sure you know better than I do. I've already submitted the report to the review team. If they don't accept it, this report will continue to be submitted upwards. I assure you that the council will see the 'truth'."
"The truth?"
Luo Er said faintly, "Rather than the truth, it's more like the means you've adopted to achieve your goal. Since you're not hiding anything anymore, let me make it clear. You and Zhu Wang, you've been relentless in the matter of the 'Amnesty Order', just to bring down the teacher and take over the position of the chief judge in the tribunal."
Han Dang narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
"You should know the latest meeting results. Councilor Zhao vetoed the impeachment." Luo Er laughed, "You may not understand why... why so many people want the teacher to resign, but the impeachment still failed?"
The moment her words fell.
The entire apartment began to tremble, and the bright lights emitted a piercing whine.
Han Dang's expression became serious.
He wanted to use the [True Word Domain], but only at this moment did he realize that a mental power several times stronger than his own had completely covered this place, suppressing his own mental power.
It was like a seedling under the ground, struggling to take root and sprout.
Was this... the mental power of the woman opposite?
This immense mental power made Han Dang feel powerless, just like... facing the teacher.
"Could it be..."
Han Dang thought of a possibility, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.
Sister Luo played with the black hair in her palm, she spoke softly and gently, "Yes, just as you are guessing now... not long ago, I have passed the trial of the twelfth layer of the Deep Sea and received the title of 'Sky Eye' from the council. This news has not been released yet, only a very few people know."

Han Dang held the box tightly, his face suddenly turned pale.
"No... it's impossible..."
He was the most popular young leader in the tribunal, always stronger than his peers along the way, and Luo Er... indeed was a strong opponent, but over the years, he never thought that he would be surpassed by this woman.
The trial of the twelfth layer of the Deep Sea... it was a chasm that had blocked countless talents.
He was still struggling in front of the chasm.
And Luo Er had already crossed the chasm and received the title.
The moment Sister Luo spoke, Zhong Wei's face remained calm as usual, he already knew this news, while Nanjin was shocked... as far as she knew, those who passed the twelfth layer of the Deep Sea were rare, each with their unique, one-of-a-kind title.
Zhou JiRen's title was "Sky-reaching Tree", which was why many people respectfully called the teacher "Mr. Tree".
Because of the Transcendent event many years ago, Sister Luo's body remained at the age of fifteen, looking very young, but in fact, she was already in her late twenties, she had reached a height that many people could not reach in their lifetime.
"Do you understand now, the reason for the failure of the impeachment?"
Sister Luo sat in the chair, smiled lightly, and raised her hand, waving casually.
"Even if your teacher Zhu Wang comes in person, he may not be able to take this box from my hand!"
The next moment, a powerful mental force surged out like a tsunami.
Han Dang grunted, he was unable to resist the huge gap in mental power, was shocked to retreat several steps, his back hit the wall, he could only watch as the bronze password box flew out of his arms and fell into Luo Er's hand.
The moment she held it, the black hair quickly crawled over and wrapped around the lock box.
Sister Luo looked thoughtfully at the bronze box in her palm.
A hint of amusement appeared on her face, she looked at Han Dang with a hint of pity, "Even if you take this box away, what can you do?"
The black algae on the surface of the seal all retreated.
Only a thin strand of hair was left, probing into the lock tongue, turning gently.
"Click."
In front of the other party, the lock box was slowly opened.
Han Dang's face was extremely ugly...
He couldn't believe that the password lock box he had worked so hard to snatch... was actually empty.
There was no physical evidence, no seal, and no ruler.
Empty.
He... was played by Gu Shen at the orphanage.
