With only 8 years to live at the start, I'm going all in.

Chapter 91 Golden Light Demon

As night fell, Ding Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for the arrival of the Yin-Yang Fiend of the day.

Now, Ding Yi uses Yin Yang Sha to advance his internal organ refining every day, supplemented by the enhanced Qi and Blood Dispersing to nurture his Gang Jin. His cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. In less than a month, he has already refined one organ and one viscera. The remaining organs will be refined in at most half a year.

Soon, Ding Yi sensed the commotion in the air and knew that this was a sign of impending evil energy.

At that moment, he was practicing the Crossing the Evil Technique, and the Evergreen True Qi within his body was flowing rapidly.

But not long after, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, feeling that the evil energy he absorbed today was a bit strange, as if it was different from usual.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Yi immediately reversed the Du Sha Technique, and the next moment, a prompt appeared in his sight.

[You have refined a trace of Yin-Yang Fiend, your lifespan increased by 0.1 days.]

[You have refined a wisp of Golden Light Fiend, your lifespan increases by 0.1 days]

...

"Golden Light Demon! What is this thing?"

Ding Yi suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Something is wrong!

Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, then quickly went to the window, opened it slightly, and looked outside.

To Ding Yi's surprise, the street outside the window remained completely silent, as if no one had noticed the golden light curse.

"How could this be?"

Ding Yi felt a vague unease, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time, which made him realize a potential crisis.

However, Ding Yi couldn't go out and shout at this moment. In order to avoid being affected by this inexplicable golden light, Ding Yi decided to sit down first and refine it to accelerate the progress of organ refining. He would find a way to ask Liu Xun about the situation tomorrow.

Time flew by, and early the next morning, Ding Yi hurriedly dressed, grabbed the package containing the broken sword, and went out.

When Ding Yi arrived at the patrol office, he found that everyone was still on duty as if nothing had happened, without mentioning the Golden Light Demon incident from the previous night.

"Was it not discovered? Or was it discovered but left unattended?"

Ding Yi was very puzzled, but dared not reveal it easily.

With a heavy heart, he went to the office and casually found a chair to sit down, waiting for Liu Xun to arrive.

After all, Liu Xun hadn't finished reviewing the case file yesterday, and he should have come to review it again this morning.

Sure enough, a short while later, Liu Xun hurriedly returned with two constables and the attendant.

"Lord Liu, the file is exactly the same as it was yesterday, not touched at all."

Zhou Yi smiled and said as soon as he saw Liu Xun arrive.

Liu Xun didn't look at Zhou Yi, but instead looked at Ding Yi. He noticed that Ding Yi was frowning and ignoring him, so he turned his attention to the files on the chopping board.

"Ah."

Liu Xun gave a soft "hmm," then stood in front of the cutting board and continued flipping through the pages.

After a while, Zhou Yi noticed that Ding Yi was still standing there motionless, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Lord Liu has been standing here for so long, and someone hasn't even poured him a cup of tea. It's all just an act, not the same as yesterday."

Ding Yi, who had been frowning, snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this, and then looked at Zhou Yi as if he were an idiot.

"You idiot."

"My lord, look at Ding Hai! He's utterly lawless and speaks without restraint!"

When Zhou Yi heard Ding Yi insult him, he was not angry but happy, and pointed at Ding Yi and said.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xun immediately burst into a tirade of curses:

"You bastard, drag him out and chop him up!!"

Upon hearing this, the constable surnamed Wang became excited, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards Ding Yi. However, Liu Xun kicked him in the backside, continuing to curse:

"I meant to kill this damn bastard who's spouting nonsense!"

As Liu Xun spoke, he pointed at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi: "??"

Officer Wang: "???"

The two of them were momentarily stunned, their minds blank, and they stood there dumbfounded.

"My lord, did Zhou Yi...didn't say anything this week?"

The official surnamed Wang asked, forcing himself to be brave.

"Well, you people from the Inspection Department have gotten bolder, daring to disobey the Supervisory Department now, huh?!"

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes, and a sinister and ruthless look immediately appeared on his face.

The official surnamed Wang glanced at Liu Xun, then at Ding Yi standing expressionlessly to the side, and seemed to understand something. He quickly grabbed Zhou Yi by the hair and forced him to stand in front of Ding Yi.

"You idiot who spouts nonsense! How dare you slander Lord Ding? Kneel down and kowtow until Lord Ding is satisfied!!"

At this moment, Zhou Yi's face was deathly pale. Although he did not understand what was going on, upon hearing what the constable surnamed Wang said, he subconsciously kowtowed to Ding Yi.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

Knowing the way the Inspectorate operates, Zhou Yi was really hitting it hard; the dull thud sounded like someone was pounding a watermelon.

Ding Yi looked at Zhou Yi, who was lying in a pool of blood at his feet, and felt extremely bored. Thinking about what happened last night, he became even more annoyed. He kicked Zhou Yi away, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Liu Xun and said:

"Lord Liu, I have something important to report."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun knew that Ding Yi must have discovered something significant, otherwise he wouldn't have said this at this moment.

So Liu Xun waved his hand, and the people around him immediately understood. They dragged the unconscious Zhou Yi away, leaving only Ding Yi and Liu Xun in the room.

"My lord, I've missed you terribly since I last saw you."

When Liu Xun saw that no one was around, he immediately reverted to his eunuch demeanor.

"Stop talking nonsense, did you notice anything unusual about the Yin-Yang Fiend last night?"

Ding Yi frowned and asked.

"Abnormal? No."

Liu Xun was taken aback, then said.

"Golden Light Demon, whose house is this?"

Ding Yi asked again.

"The Golden Light Demon belongs to Baiyun Temple. Why does Master ask about this?"

Liu Xun was puzzled.

"Baiyun Temple... just as I expected..."

Ding Yi's many questions suddenly came to an end, and he immediately understood.

It seems that Baiyun Temple's plans in Qingfeng County are still underway, but it's unclear why neither the Inspection Bureau nor the Supervisory Bureau has been able to detect them.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi quickly said:

"I suspect that Baiyun Temple is hidden in Qingfeng County. After you go back, investigate this matter thoroughly."

“Master, it’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s just that my authority is only to manage Yin and Yang Sha. Investigating external Sha is under the jurisdiction of the Patrol Division, and I have no authority over it.”

Liu Xun said with a bitter face.

"Patrol Division...."

Ding Yi was taken aback. After a moment's thought, he considered a possibility, but it seemed somewhat far-fetched. He couldn't help but ask:

"How much do you know about Magistrate Wang Pingshan?"

Ding Yi then asked.

“Well, Wang Pingshan is usually very low-key, and this servant doesn’t know much about him. However, I’ve noticed that Your Excellency has been paying quite a bit of attention to Magistrate Wang recently, so perhaps Your Excellency knows more about him.”

After Liu Xun finished speaking, he continued:

"Should I ask the Special Envoy?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi raised his hand, shook his head, and said:

"never mind."

"I'm giving you a task: store some malevolent energy in it every day. It's very simple to use; just pour malevolent energy into it."

As Ding Yi spoke, he handed a small gourd hanging from his waist to Liu Xun.

"Forehead."

Liu Xun was taken aback. Although he didn't know why Ding Yi was so obsessed with collecting the evil energy, he still accepted it.

"I am very satisfied with your sword. Try to collect more similar weapons or pieces of demon flesh for me."

As Ding Yi spoke, he took out a tiny capsule-like object from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xun.

"Put it between your back teeth. If it falls into enemy hands, use your inner energy to shatter it first."

"This servant understands. I guarantee to complete every task assigned by my master!"

Liu Xun took the capsule, then stuffed it into his back teeth, and said with a smile.

"By the way, Master, what should we do with that clerk from earlier?"

Liu Xun suddenly asked.

"Didn't you already say to execute him? Why are you asking me?"
