THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
271: Have the Courage to Fight Directly
'Finally!'
Jiang Hao felt that the efficiency of the Law Enforcement Hall had decreased lately. Otherwise, why would Liu Xingchen take three days to come visit him in regards to this case?
“Young Brother Jiang, we meet again. This time I came looking for you for official affairs,” Liu Xingchen said. It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time in front of the courtyard gate.
"What's that?"
There was a powerful spiritual energy around Liu Xingchen, much stronger than before. It seemed that the Blood Demon would complete its final possession.
In other words, Liu Xingchen would immediately advance to the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Jiang Hao felt an urgency. The feelings of others pursuing his cultivation realm were not pleasant. In about a month, he would advance to the final stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
“Do you not know, Young Brother Jiang?” She asked. “Oh yes. Most people don't realize it. That's not good news.” "What's that?" Jiang Hao asked.
“Have you ever made contact with a disciple of the Divine Corpse Sect?” Liu Xingchen asked.
"I have." Jiang Hao nodded.
"How's that?" Liu Xingchen asked.
“Yeah... the sect seems like a very big sect in the north,” said Jiang Hao.
Liu Xingchen smiled. “But... they underestimated us, didn't they?”
Jiang Hao nodded.
"Who is that? Do you still remember, Young Brother Jiang?” Liu Xingchen asked. “The man was named Gu Cheng, and the woman was named Fang Jin.”
Liu Xingchen smiled. “That's why I came to look for you. Fang Jin was killed the night he made contact with you.”
"Kill it?" Jiang Hao pretended to be surprised.
“Can we talk inside?” Liu Xingchen pointed to the courtyard.
“Of course, Senior Sister Liu. Please login.”
Liu Xingchen walked into the courtyard and was quite surprised. “You really like to plant some weird stuff. Looks like you have more than ever.”
“Senior sister Liu, you must be kidding.” Jiang Hao was not worried about anything. Liu Xingchen already knew about the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.
The two sat on the wooden table, and Jiang Hao made tea.
“Young Brother Jiang, I'm sure you heard the commotion a few days ago,” Liu Xingchen said.
“Is it about Fang Jin's death?”
“Not at all,” Liu Xingchen said. “It was said that at that time, many disciples of the Divine Corpse Sect were disrespecting the various sects. Then…"
Liu Xingchen stopped. “The Divine Corpse Sect sent thirty-two disciples this time, and ten of them were killed overnight, including Fang Jin.”
Jiang Hao was stunned. He really didn't expect this at all.
So, there was someone else involved in the murder. Are they not afraid of being discovered?
“Do they know who did it?” Jiang Hao asked.
The Divine Corpse Sect was a big sect in the northern region. Whoever did it was brave.
Jiang Hao recalled that the Heavenly Note Sect was a demon sect. They can do anything.
“The first suspect is Manlong,” Liu Xingchen said with a smile. “But Manlong claimed that he suffered severe injuries and was unable to do such a thing.
"What happens next?" Jiang Hao asked.
“We appreciate the evidence in our sect. Although Manlong was no longer the best disciple, he was still a True Disciple of the Flowing Waterfall branch and had made a huge contribution to the sect. Of course, we cannot arrest him without any real evidence,” Liu Xingchen said. “The second suspect is Ye Yaqing from the Hundred Bones Forest. He was ranked fifth among the top ten disciples, but he claimed that he had been guarding Bai Ye all along. Bai Ye and Lian Qin could testify about it. Without hard evidence, we can't catch him either. Others are more refined in his methods, and we do not yet know who they are even after three days.”
Jiang Hao was silent. It completely exceeded his expectations. Aren't the others afraid of offending the Divine Corpse Sect?
They are less likely to act without permission. They may be allowed to do so directly or indirectly.
“Didn't you use a sacred object to find that person?”
“Divine objects?” Liu Xingchen smiled. “The dead are not from our sect, so why use it?”
Jiang Hao realized that within the same sect, no one dared to kill anyone without consequences. No one could escape the Law Enforcement Hall investigation. But killing people from other sects did not have this restriction.
Such behavior would definitely offend the Divine Corpse Sect. Going north would be dangerous. In the future, the northern sect would even try to suppress the Heavenly Note Sect.
However, even though they were strong in the northern region, their influence had no effect in the southern region.
Jiang Hao did not care
“I came to look for you because you have contact with Fang Jin, so I came to ask. Where were you that night?” Liu Xingchen asked.
“I was in my room making talismans,” said Jiang Hao.
“Then, you don't need to worry.” Liu Xingchen smiled.
Jiang Hao understood that the anger of the Law Enforcement Hall was just a show. They only came to him after a long time because they did not focus on the investigation. Otherwise, with the power of the Law Enforcement Hall, whoever did so would be arrested within a day or two.
Jiang Hao was curious. Did those people take away the storage treasures of the Divine Corpse Sect disciples?
He didn't dare to ask that, so he asked something else instead. “Will the people from the Divine Corpse Sect release it that easily?”
Liu Xingchen shook his head. "Who knows?"
At the guesthouse in the Heavenly Note Sect, there were many courtyards filled with abundant energy.
Among them, the most concentrated courtyard was occupied by two middle-aged men and a beautiful woman, with around twenty disciples standing beside them.
Gu Cheng was among them, but his eyes no longer showed the arrogance like before.
Clangs!
A teacup was thrown to the ground by one of the middle-aged men. His voice was filled with anger.
"Proof! How could someone from the demon sect be more obedient to the rules than those from the immortal sect? What evidence do they need? This is a joke! It's obviously just for show! They've been doing it for days and haven't found anything!”
Right now, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows.
“I've said it before. We have to be humble when we come here. Not only do they underestimate us, but they even try to teach us how to do things. Do they think this place belongs to their sect? Have you not noticed it yet? They have no intention of investigating. Did they really think this was an immortal sect that would consider their reputation?
He was the leader of that group, Han Yu, a respected elder of the Divine Corpse Sect. His strength was on par with Zhuang Yuzhen's.
“What's your plan, Senior Brother?” the beautiful woman asked.
“Give them three more days. They should give us an answer in the end, otherwise it is best to be prepared,” Han Yu said coldly.
“They ambushed us. Otherwise, how could they be our partner? Just a group of uncivilized cultivators,” said a young man with a cultivation level that far surpassed the Primordial Spirit realm.
The next morning, his body was found in the river.
Han Yu's aura instantly spread. It's full of anger. It seemed like he was going to fight the Heavenly Note Sect to the death..
