The investigation turned up just like that, that little demon wasn't exactly tough—local interrogators had just started talking, and the thing got so scared it freaked out and immediately ratted out Liu Qiying; the statements checked out, nothing sketchy there.
So, if we're talking about the real danger in this whole thing, it's gotta be that summoning circle.
But the kicker is, after their inspection, that magic array isn't usable by just anyone—getting all the required materials, even outside the Divine Land, would take someone with serious cash years to put together.
Some of those materials, on their own, are compliant goods—they only cleared customs into Divine Land last month.
Back then, nobody had a clue these weird things could be used as summoning components.
All these steps, easily checked out by the Scorching Sun Department.
Then, following up and asking about He Changfeng turning into the Water God, Liu Qiying came clean without missing a beat.
