Chapter 245 The World is Collapsing
```
The city of Sanhe, shrouded in the night, its sky obscured by dark clouds, with stars and moon unseen.
Dan Xiaolian led Li Muyang back to the office of the Imperial Astronomers.
"This is the only entrance to and exit from the mirror world."
Dan Xiaolian glanced at the desolate city behind her, her eyes complex, "My colleagues and subordinates have all been corrupted."
Dan Xiaolian looked towards Li Muyang, "Nameless, you seem to have a lot of knowledge about the Evil God. Do you know if there’s a way to save a Demon Suppression Magus who has been corrupted?"
After some contemplation, Li Muyang shook his head, "Maybe there is, but I am not aware of it."
The Demon Suppression Magus of the Imperial Astronomers could very well be the result of techniques devised by the Demon Cultivators from behind Black Cloud Fort’s mountain, led by the Temple-Sealing Lord.
The existence of the Demon Suppression Magus stems from the ancient evil lineage of Black Cloud Fort.
But Black Cloud Fort has long been destroyed, and those Demon Cultivators led by the Temple-Sealing Lord have long since perished.
And in "Deadly Weeds," Li Muyang had already left Black Cloud Fort, having little substantial contact with that group of Demon Cultivators.
Even if there were a way to rescue those corrupted Demon Suppression Magi, Li Muyang would not know of it.
Hearing his response, Dan Xiaolian sighed in disappointment.
"I was just clutching at straws..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Staring into the pitch-black emptiness of the mirror world, Dan Xiaolian looked somber, "A bizarre red-haired ghost hand suddenly appeared and contaminated all the people in the office into malevolent beings."
"The influence of those wicked creatures on this world is growing stronger."
Dan Xiaolian sighed and led Li Muyang out of the Imperial Astronomers’ office gates.
This time, as the two left the office, the clamor from within the city of Sanhe suddenly surged into Li Muyang’s awareness.
The distant city streets were filled with a deafening cacophony.
Dan Xiaolian said, "My Divine Skill is to open a mirror world, but now that mirror world has trapped evil beings, I can no longer use my abilities."
Dan Xiaolian looked at Li Muyang, "So the help I’m able to offer you from this point on is limited."
Li Muyang, however, was unconcerned, "Please take me to the Governor’s Mansion to meet the Glass Immortal Maiden."
The two set off on the road to the Governor’s Mansion.
They passed through the bustling marketplace, the crowded populace; in days past, nobles and royalty of the Tianyuan Dynasty had enslaved and oppressed the common folk of these lands.
Now that the rebels had entered the city to settle scores with the former royals, nearly every citizen was caught up in celebration.
Everyone condemned and cursed the unrighteous wealth of the royal elites.
"I struggled to suppress them, but still, some evil beings escaped and hid inside the governor’s mansion."
"I hope tonight Magistrate Gu will allow me to inspect inside the mansion. I need to find that hidden evil being and completely eradicate it!"
Upon these words, the complexion of the governor changed drastically.
"An evil being fled into the governor’s mansion?"
The methods of the Imperial Astronomy’s official Magi are historically fierce; once they find evil beings causing mischief, to completely eliminate future troubles, they would even resort to exterminating all the living people in a city.
If an evil being really did escape into the governor’s mansion...
With a calm expression, Dan Xiaolian said, "Magistrate Gu need not panic, the evil being that escaped is one of the Demon Suppression Magi from the Imperial Astronomy that was corrupted."
"It still retains some humanity and has not been fully corrupted, without the capability to pollute other beings."
"While it has not caused harm yet, I will exterminate it completely, which should settle this disaster without affecting the family within the mansion."
Dan Xiaolian’s words brought a sigh of relief to the governor.
"I see..."
He said, "Please, Magistrate Dan, find and deal with the evil being as soon as possible."
The Demon Suppression Magi of the Imperial Astronomy possess terrifying power in the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Especially when a first-rank Magician personally arrives, saying there is an evil spirit in the mansion, almost nobody dares to obstruct.
This pressure comes from the Imperial Astronomy and also from the fear brought by those uncanny evil beings.
After the governor gave his nod of approval, Dan Xiaolian immediately stood up: "Then let’s begin."
Dan Xiaolian looked at Li Muyang; "Let’s go."
The two walked out of the side hall, heading into the depths of the mansion.
Dan Xiaolian took out a compass used to detect evil spirits, seemingly in earnest pursuit of the evil being.
The governor followed far behind, his expression filled with worry.
This governor of Sanhe, who had just defected to the Chaos Army, had not expected that an evil being would suddenly appear and strike at his own home.
This was truly an undeserved calamity.
Meanwhile, Li Muyang, following behind Dan Xiaolian, observed the surroundings silently.
He could faintly sense several pairs of eyes fixed on him from the shadows.
Those prying gazes might belong to demon cultivators of the Chaos Army’s Blood Demon Path.
While Dan Xiaolian was pretending to search, she led Li Muyang to the outside of a courtyard sealed by soldiers.
Inside here, was where the Glass Immortal Maiden, Chu Qingxue, was trapped.
