Chapter 96 Mutual Investigation

Following the short man's death, all kinds of ferocious ghosts that were about to pounce on everyone in the courtyard suddenly stopped and disappeared. The huge painting also turned into dots of white light and scattered in the air..

Qing Heren, who was still in control of victory just now, died in the blink of an eye. This soul master was a master at the grandmaster realm. When he released Hundred Ghosts Night, he had already reached the grandmaster realm..

"Soul masters, hehe, we haven't been idle these past few years either. The weakest part of a soul master is his body. As long as the protective barrier is broken, the soul master is like fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered..

The young man, whose code name was Zhong Hua, sneered..

"Junior Brother, I am Su Jingcheng, a disciple of Megrez Pavilion..

"See how the crisis is resolved," Su Xian said quickly..

"Senior Brother Su, I'm here to assist Senior Brother in investigating the Immortal Spirit Incense. When I arrived here and contacted the Dark Star Branch, I learned that Senior Brother had already come to investigate. I didn't expect Qing Yan Hall to be involved in this, so I was still a step too late..

"I'm sorry," he said, looking at the bodies of several government servants in the courtyard..

"It's not my fault, Junior Brother. If it wasn't for Junior Brother's timely rescue, we would all be corpses by now. It's all my Senior Brother's fault for being careless. He came here without investigating clearly and almost caused a disaster..

He was so ashamed of himself that he blamed so many of his brothers for their deaths..

"Senior Brother, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Hurry up and check if there are any key figures selling Immortal Spirit Incense in these rooms..

"I am anxious..

"After such a long delay, I'm afraid we won't find anything..

Su Jingcheng shook his head bitterly..

Sure enough, the bailiffs searched all the houses in the backyard and only found two incense buyers enjoying themselves in their rooms..

It was quite troublesome to bring them out. In order to prevent them from being contaminated with the Immortal Spirit Incense, they could only hold their breath and go in to capture them. After a lot of trouble, they finally captured the two people and left the range of the Immortal Spirit Incense. The two people rushed into the room like crazy, but they were firmly controlled by the government officials and could not escape..

Apart from these two living people, they also found many corpses. If nothing unexpected happened, these corpses should be the people selling Immortal Spirit Incense. However, the person who killed the soul master had delayed too much, and these people had already killed themselves..

Not only the incense seller in the backyard, but also the doctor and assistant in the front medicine hall have died..

Strangely, after discovering these corpses, all the corpses burned violently almost at the same time and turned into ashes. Even the short man was no exception..

In other words, apart from arresting a few guards and seizing some Immortal Incense, the investigation yielded almost nothing..

Back to the county government, those arrested guards were tortured, but no matter how the torture, the guards still did not say what valuable clues.

At the residence of the county magistrate in the backyard of the county government, there were only Su Jingcheng and Zhong Hua at this time..

Su Jingcheng slammed his hand on the table. Although he was not strong, he was more than enough to deal with a wooden table. He left a deep palm print on the table..

"Damn it, I sacrificed so many people for nothing, but I got nothing. It's all my fault..

Su Jingcheng was in a hurry, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his hands that landed on the table clenched tightly, his nails deeply sunk into his palms..

"Senior Brother, don't blame yourself. It's not like we got nothing. Knowing that Qing He is involved in this matter is a good starting point..

"I'm sorry," he said..

" Junior Brother, you mean to investigate the Qing Yan Hall experts who are operating in Cang County?" Su Jingcheng's eyes lit up as he said. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes dimmed again..

"This method doesn't work. The Imperial Court of Taichu has ordered that local officials are not allowed to interfere with Qing Yan Hall's actions. Investigating Qing Yan Hall's experts will lead to dismissal and investigation..

"The Lord said unto them,.

"Senior Brother, you have been an official for a long time and your thoughts have hardened. Who said you wanted to use the people of the county government to investigate the case? Of course, you used the power of the sect to investigate..

"I'm sorry," he said..

" That's right. Junior Brother, since the sect asked you to help me, can you mobilize the experts of Dark Star?" Su Jingcheng asked hopefully..

Zhong Hua smiled bitterly and said awkwardly," Senior Brother, don't you know where I come from?".

"This is the turn of Su Jingcheng..

"There are no outsiders here. Junior brother, let me introduce myself again. Senior brother, Zhonghua is just a code name. I am a disciple of the Seven Kills Camp. My name is Gu West Wind..

"I'm sorry," he said..

It turned out that Zhong Hua was Gu Xifeng, who was already sixteen years old. At this time, he changed his face with a secret method. Su Jingcheng did not see his true appearance..

Gu Xifeng was now at the advanced stage of Master Realm. He was the same as Tang Jinge back then. He had reached the peak of Martial Artist Realm. If he wanted to improve further, he would not only have to cultivate martial arts, but also have some understanding of Dao. As far as Gu Xifeng knew, Tang Jinge was still at this stage and had not broken through yet..

This was a natural chasm. Even if there were dozens of grandmasters, not a single one of them would be able to comprehend the Dao and successfully step into the grandmaster realm. This was also the reason why grandmaster experts were so rare..

"Junior Brother is a disciple of the Seven Kills Camp. This is great. If we can mobilize the power of the Dark Star Branch, we will definitely be able to investigate this matter..

Su Jingcheng swept away the embarrassment before and excitedly said.

"Senior Brother, let's discuss what to do next..

The two of them talked for a long time in the house, and then Gu Xifeng left the county office..

Long Yansi was listening to his subordinate's report in Taichu Qingyan Hall. The more he listened, the uglier his expression became..

" Are you saying that not only did Cang County's largest stronghold get destroyed, but even Bo Yuanzhi was killed?" Long Yansi's tone was gloomy..

" Chief, this is true. If it wasn't for the secret method used by the spies outside the stronghold to activate the self-immolation marks on everyone's bodies, they would have caused quite a lot of trouble by now..

"The one below me said sadly..

" Zhihe has a spirit like Painted Soul. Even I have to be careful when dealing with a full-force attack. There's a grandmaster in Cangxian County? Even if we meet a grandmaster, it's not difficult for Zhihe to escape with his strength. How could he die?" Long Yansi was even more puzzled..

"Sir, it was Cang County Yin Su Jingcheng who investigated the matter at that time. A conflict broke out between the two sides, which led to a disaster..

When he mentioned Su Jingcheng, his tone was very heavy, and he hated this culprit very much..

" Oh? It's not bad for a small county government to have advanced realm experts. Can those rabble kill my esteemed and powerful soul masters?" Long Yansi said disdainfully, his tone arrogant..

"Sir, although Su Jingcheng is only a county magistrate and his martial arts skills are weak, he originally came from the Galaxy Sect. I guess he's a grandmaster from the Galaxy Sect heading to Cang County. That's why…" Long Yansi slammed the table and said angrily,"What? Galaxy Sect again? These damned fellows always come to ruin my plans. When that day comes, I'll kill them all!".

Since the Red Rock Canyon battle, the Clear Evolution Hall's operations had been sabotaged by the Galaxy Sect many times in the past five years. Both sides had suffered many casualties in the battle, forming a rift that could not be understood..

" Continue to investigate and find out if Galaxy Sect is behind this. I want to see which expert killed Zhihe. I want him to die without a burial ground!" Long Yansi said angrily. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave. His subordinates were afraid that they would be affected by the Chief's anger, so they naturally left..

Something big happened to the Cang County Office. The dungeon was broken into by experts, all the jailers were killed, and all the captured guards were rescued..

A day later, someone reported that several bodies were found not far from the county government. After examination, these bodies were rescued guards. For some reason, they killed all the people after saving them..

After this incident, Gu Xifeng returned to the county government and found Su Jingcheng..

"Junior Brother, what do you think of this matter?.

Su Jingcheng asked first..

"These Qinghe people saved people and killed people. They definitely didn't just kill people to vent their anger. After saving people, they obtained something from those guards before killing people..

The West Wind is confident..

" Junior Brother, what you want is the same as what I want. However, these ordinary guards have been sentenced to death and have not revealed anything. Obviously, they are some minor characters. What can we learn from them?" Su Jingcheng asked, holding his chin..

"Senior brother, these guards are of course insignificant to the sale of Immortal Spirit Incense, but they know some things that Qinghe people don't know..

Su Jingcheng was just about to speak when Gu Xifeng interrupted him," That's right, it was the battle between us and that soul master. Those guards witnessed the entire process at the scene.".

"Are you the target?" Su Jingcheng also figured things out and was stunned..

"Yes, I think they know who I am..

Gu Xifeng smiled bitterly..

"Junior Brother, if that's the case, it's too dangerous. That soul master is so powerful, he's definitely not an ordinary person in Clear Evolution Hall. The revenge of the Qinghe people will be terrifying, and it's very possible that they will send out grandmasters..

"Su Jingcheng is worried..

"It's fine, Senior Brother. I'll send a message to the sect in a while and ask Huang Xin to come over to support us. Killing Qing He is now Huang Xin's hobby..

"Gu Xifeng grinned..

Su Jingcheng already knew that Gu Xifeng was a disciple of the Seven Kills Camp. He was puzzled by Gu Xifeng's disrespectful behavior towards the commander, but he didn't say anything..

"Senior Brother, let me tell you some good news..

Gu Xifeng did not seem to be afraid of Qinghe people's revenge at all, and his smile grew even wider..

" Oh? Is there any result of the investigation on Xianling Fragrance?" The two of them did not interact much, so the good news Gu Xifeng mentioned was naturally related to Xianling Fragrance..

"Qinghe is very brave. Even after such a big incident, Immortal Fragrance is still being sold. The Dark Star branch has already found several selling points with Qinghe as a clue. We only need to use lightning methods to break them one by one. In this way, I don't believe that we can't find evidence..

"Senior Brother, in order to avoid suspicion, don't use the people in the county. I will bring the experts from the Dark Star Branch. Wait here for my good news.".

The West Wind is confident..

"This…Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother..

Su Jingcheng was silent for a moment, thinking that he really didn't have any ability to help Junior Brother, so he could only agree..
