Chapter 43 Aftermath



The unrest, which lasted for half a day, finally subsided late at night.

The fire in the burned granary and wing rooms was brought under control. The firefighters sat exhausted on the ground, looking at the roof that was still emitting smoke.

In the inner courtyard, in the main hall.

The man at the helm of the Wang residence, Mr. Wang, is a thin old man with white hair and beard. At the moment, he has a gloomy face and a cold look in his eyes, looking down at the people below from a high position.

"Can anyone tell me, wasn't it a perfect plan? Why did it come to this?"

There were more than ten people standing in the hall, including elders of the royal family, people in charge of shops, and martial artists, all of whom were important figures in control of the royal palace.

At this moment, these people were silent, their eyes changed, but no one spoke.

The arrest of Lu Zhangke this time was a joint action between the government and the royal palace, with the purpose of attracting the appearance of the Cang Tian Shu Lu Temple behind him.

Everything was well planned.

There is even Hou Huanhua, a rising star from Feng County, who became famous at a young age and has become a martial artist who is an expert in cultivating the mind. He is stationed in the palace to ensure the safety of the key figures.

But, it was too sudden!

What happened tonight was too hasty!

Not only did it disrupt the layout of the royal residence and the government, it seemed that even the Cang Tian Shu Lu Temple was unable to react.

After all, there were quite a few martial artists from the Cang Tian Shu Lu Guan who died in the palace tonight.

There are many signature characters like the Ten Fire Heads, who are enough to cause them serious injuries.

Master Wang looked around with a powerful and imposing manner. He glanced at everyone present and suddenly frowned.

"Where's Wang Zhong?"

Wang Zhong is Manager Wang, and this is the surname and name given to him by Master Wang.

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other, also somewhat confused.

In this kind of situation, Manager Wang should be the one who runs the fastest, but why has he not arrived yet?

Could it be...

Bang, bang, bang…

Heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside the hall.

A maidservant hurriedly relit the lantern and set up the painting screen.

But in the light, Yu Yuan was seen carrying a black coffin on his shoulders and walking into the lobby step by step.

On the coffin, there are patterns of flying cranes and swimming dragons in the front, and a Chihu riding a green dragon in the back.

A peculiar pressure emanated from the coffin, which was a direct confinement of the soul and consciousness.

It was as if he was already above the mundane world, looking down on everyone present as if he were a superior of two species.

Even after death, the power of the person remains.

Seeing this, everyone present stepped aside, leaving the aisle open, and bowed in greeting.

Mr. Wang looked at the coffin silently, then clenched his hands suddenly, tears welling up in his eyes.

Yu Yuan walked very slowly. Although he was renowned as a master of cultivating the spirit, tonight he was just a coffin bearer.

His eyes looked a little tired, and the gloom under his eyes was lingering.

Wang Changsheng's three flowers of spirit, energy and soul disappeared.

He had just explored the collapsed underground undercurrent, but found nothing.

"Could it be that it was really secretly transferred by the Heaven-granted Luguan?"

If that's the case, that's not good...

The Cangtian Shulu Temple, which was blessed by the immortals, can cultivate a strong man at the peak of spiritual cultivation in a very short time.

He can exchange one for one with those above the immortals, and he is invincible below the immortals.

It will definitely significantly change the current situation of Fengxian County.

The coffin fell to the ground silently.

At this time, a woman in plain clothes, barefoot, and distraught came from outside the hall.

"Madam, please accept my condolences."

"Madam, take care of yourself."

When everyone in the hall saw the woman, they all tried to comfort her, with looks of pity in their eyes.

Miao Miao followed closely behind the third lady and put her coat on her.

The third wife knelt down in front of the coffin, pushed open the lid, and saw the corpse inside, staring at the sky with a deathly pale face. She was immediately filled with joy and tears.

The words sounded like crying blood. The third lady whimpered and fainted.

Mr. Wang quickly called on the servants to help the Third Madam down, and invited the court physician to treat her. After taking the Third Madam's pulse, the court physician said that she was just suffering from excessive grief and sorrow, and that she would be fine after resting for a while.

Upon hearing this, Master Wang felt relieved, but he saw that Steward Wang had not yet come to report the losses and casualties tonight, and anger gradually grew in his eyes.

"Go, capture Wang Zhong..."

"Grandpa! Something bad has happened!!"

A security guard rushed over in panic, but was stopped by a knife-wielding martial artist outside the hall.

This person looked at the important people in the hall, swallowed his saliva, and said with some fear,

"Butler Wang is dead!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Brother Yu, can you tell who did this?"

Outer courtyard, at the home of Steward Wang.

Mr. Wang looked at the bloody room and the two mutilated corpses with an unhappy look in his eyes. He did not go into the room but waited outside the door.

Inside the house,

Yu Yuan bent down, picked up the painting box from the sticky pool of blood, opened it, and saw the "Picture of Immortals in the Morning Glow" inside.

Nice painting!

Yu Yuan admired silently in his heart and put it on the table. He did not answer Master Wang's words, but called a martial arts master from the training ground and whispered a few words in his ear.

The martial artist bowed and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Yu Yuan called Xier and several guards who were at the scene and interrogated them one by one.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. The villain took advantage of the chaos to kill Wang Zhong and Xiong Chou. It's a bit strange. Let me ask him first."

Yu Yuan had an idea in her mind and whispered to Master Wang.

A moment later, more than a dozen martial arts teachers hired by the Wang family to teach came quickly.

These martial artists included both men and women. Most of them were dressed cleanly and breathed calmly, without showing any sign of the embarrassment of having just experienced the turmoil in Wang's residence.

In fact, including Master Fu Wu, these hired martial artists seldom took action except to protect themselves and knock out a few ignorant thieves and throw them out of the yard, let alone defend the Wang residence.

After all, it is a naked employment relationship of gold and silver. That little money is not enough for them to fight to the death!

At this time, Yu Yuan obviously wanted to test this group of foreign martial artists.

Seeing Butler Wang's body, the martial artists were just a little surprised.

But seeing the corpse that was as big as a bear, and which still had a fierce aura even after death, many people were horrified and could not believe it. "Xiong Qiu? This guy is dead too?"

"The Ten Fire Lords of the Cangtian Shulu Temple are all tough guys, tsk tsk..."

“Hiss, judging by the traces, he killed two people in a row with one move! The trajectory of the attack was from bottom to top, and he held his breath in the middle without changing his momentum!”

A martial artist with a sharp eye could vaguely make out traces of a fight.

"It must have been a sharp weapon! Judging from the cross-section of the wound, it was most likely... a knife, a heavy knife, a large knife!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, their eyes met, as if they were communicating some information.

Yu Yuan took in everything, his gaze remained unchanged, and he asked calmly, "Everyone, can you see any clues? Do you recognize the origin of this sword technique?"

A group of martial artists rustled around for a while, and then an old man with a childlike face and white hair came out, but his fingers were very long, like eagle claws. "Master Yu. The murderer only used one move, and it seems that he also practiced the secret technique of concealing his breath. He didn't leave too many traces, and he didn't get injured or bleed, so..."

"Um?"

Yu Yuan let out a light "hmm" in her throat and glanced at him indifferently.

The old man's breathing became a little faster, and he reluctantly continued to reply, "As for the murderer's knife skills... I am not very knowledgeable, and I can only tell that it is at least a mastered knife skill, with knife intentions in his body.

And since only one strike was made, there were no more changes to reveal the special techniques of the knife, so it was really difficult to distinguish.

In fact, among all the brothers present, my Xingshu Daoguan's "Seven Killing Swords", Junior Sister Wen Tiexin's "Wu Xiang Feng Lei Dian Cang Sword" from Luoyan Daoyuan, Junior Brother Deng Dong's "Liang Yi Sword" from Baiyun Daoguan, Junior Brother Fu Tiancheng's "Wu Fang Tian Yi Sword" from Wu Lao Qing Xin Zhai

If the timing was right, he would have been lurking nearby, with special energy-gathering secrets, sword skills, a suitable sword, and the strength of nine oxen, two tigers, or even an elephant..."

The conditions are becoming increasingly onerous.

The more the old man spoke, the louder his voice became. He felt relieved that he had completely gotten rid of suspicion.

"The murderer had no moral principles and launched a sneak attack, beheading him from behind! He is such a daring villain!"

I've changed the update time, and I'm asking for your support. It's the second round of recommendations, which is very important. I hope you will support me! !
