Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 77 News about Li Hongyi
In the Chuzhou Demon Slaying Division, in a room filled with the scent of ink, a middle-aged figure was practicing calligraphy, paying great attention to every stroke.

Practicing calligraphy can calm the mind and cultivate one's character. People who practice cultivation should avoid being impatient, especially those from the Demon Slaying Bureau. They have seen too many dark sides, so they need to be more patient. He is already quite old now, and if he can't take another step forward, his life will be over.

At this time, someone knocked on the door and walked in, bowing and saying, "Sir, someone outside said he wants to see you for something important."

"Just ask him to tell you." Sun Qian said.

"I told him that this matter is extremely important and it concerns the Wanxiang Sect and the big monster outside the city. No one else can tell him about it except you," the man continued.

Sun Qian frowned and said, "Bring him here."

"Yes, sir." The man withdrew, and after a moment, he came here with someone, who was Yin Qing.

"Yin Qing greets the commander." Yin Qing bowed, but the other party continued to write quietly and ignored him. An invisible pressure fell on Yin Qing.

Any random move of these big shots can bring them a sense of oppression. Of course, this is also due to their status. As the deputy commander of the Chuzhou Demon Slaying Division, Sun Qian is definitely a prestigious big shot in Chuzhou. Even the wealthy families have to give him some face. To kill a small shot like him is like killing an ant.

After a moment, Sun Qian put down his pen, looked up at Yin Qing, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yin Qing glanced at the person next to him, Sun Qian gave him a look, and the man bowed and retreated.

"You can tell me now." Sun Qian said.

"Commander-in-chief, I am Yin Qing..." Yin Qing told about escorting Lu Qin, encountering Xiao Mo, and Li Fan's murder and treasure-stealing.

After Sun Qian heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and an invisible pressure fell on Yin Qing. Yin Qing felt a chill on his body. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Commander-in-chief, I have come to report this, but I will never disclose this matter to a third person, and I am willing to serve you at my utmost."

Yin Qing also knew that this matter was extremely dangerous, but he came here in anger and could not care about so many things. Once he succeeded, he would be rich and glorious.

"You want to join the Demon Slaying Bureau?" Sun Qian naturally understood what the other party meant.

"Yes, I am willing to follow you, sir, and die for you." Yin Qing kowtowed and buried his head on the ground.

Sun Qian asked: "What do you think should be done?"

"These people killed people for treasures, which violated the laws of the court. They should be killed without mercy." Yin Qing said. Sun Qian stared at him. These people in the martial arts world were really heartless and ungrateful. They betrayed their friends without blinking an eye and sold out their friends for fame.

"You said that the sword cultivator is in the out-of-body realm?" Sun Qian asked.

"Yes, he said that he broke through not long ago, but his combat power is very strong." Yin Qing responded: "I'm afraid this person has a background. My Lord can punish him in the name of the court."

"Well done, you can join the Demon Slaying Division." Sun Qian said.

"Thank you, sir." Yin Qing was overjoyed, with cold sweat on his back.

However, it was finally successful. I believe Sun Qian will be able to handle the rest of the matter. These people in the court are very evil-minded.

"What's his name?" Sun Qian asked again.

"Li Fan." Yin Qing replied.

"Li Fan?" Sun Qian's eyes flashed sharply.

"Yes." Yin Qing nodded.

Sun Qian looked outside with narrowed eyes.

He did not attend the battle of Lishan, but he knew about what happened in Lin'an County. There was a disturbance in Lin'an County surrounding the young man named 'Li Fan'.

He also didn't know what happened on the sword peak at the top of Lishan Mountain. If Lingxiao Pavilion won, it would probably be announced to the world, but if Lingxiao Pavilion lost, they would naturally not say it. And Sun Qian was not close enough to know the truth, so Lishan would not publicize the matter.

But he knew that Li Shan was still there.

It is intriguing that the disciples of Lishan appeared in Chuzhou City at this time.

I remember the last time Li Fan was in Lin'an County, Wen Ruyu took action in the end. So now, is Wen Ruyu also behind him?

Seeing Sun Qian was silent, Yin Qing looked up at him and whispered, "Sir."

Sun Qian came back to his senses and asked Yin Qing, "What did Li Fan do when he arrived in Chuzhou City?"

"He is looking for a woman, Li Hongyi from the Cui family." Yin Qing replied.

"Nothing else?" Sun Qian asked.

"And let's settle Lu Qi." Yin Qing said.

Sun Qian nodded, stared at Yin Qing with interest and asked, "Do you want to kill me?"

Yin Qing: "..."

"I dare not." Yin Qing said.

"Do you know where Li Fan comes from?" Sun Qian asked. Yin Qing was stunned. Could it be that Sun Qian knew Li Fan?
"Leave the mountain!" Sun Qian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he slapped down with his palm, landing on Yin Qing's head.

In an instant, blood flowed from Yin Qing's head and his body fell limply. His eyes were open, and there were only two words in his mind: leave the mountain...

"Someone come here." Sun Qian shouted, and the man from before came back again. He looked as usual when he saw the corpse on the ground.

"Send someone to investigate Li Hongyi from the Cui family, and don't let anyone know." Sun Qian ordered.

"Yes, sir." The visitor nodded. "Clean it up." Sun Qian glanced at Yin Qing's body and turned back to the desk. The treasure was taken away and fell into the hands of Lishan's disciples.

He needed to think about this carefully.

The previous prefect Xu Bin died in Lishan, but Lishan has not been destroyed. Now the forces involved in the Lishan incident, such as the Chen family, are trembling with fear. If the forces knew that disciples from Lishan had come to Chuzhou City, they would probably not be able to sleep.

There will be a storm in Chuzhou City.

…………

Li Fan settled down in Chuzhou City, practicing quietly while waiting for news from Han Zong.

In the past few days, Han Zong and Situ Chan came to the inn to look for him every day, but Yin Qing disappeared and disappeared inexplicably. However, Li Fan was too lazy to pay attention and didn't care at all.

On this day, Li Fan was practicing in the courtyard.

"Xiao Fan." At this time, Han Zong came to the courtyard anxiously. The relationship between the two sides became more and more familiar in the past few days, so he also called him Xiao Fan.

"Brother Han, what's wrong?" Li Fan asked.

"I found out." Han Zong said, "But Xiaofan, you have to be mentally prepared. It's not good news."

Li Fan's eyes were serious, and he asked, "Brother Han, you say."

"I got the news that Miss Li did come to Chuzhou City and went to the Cui family, but... Miss Li was rejected by the Cui family and was humiliated."

Han Zong hesitated to speak, Li Fan frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"The people of the Cui family called her a bastard, saying that she was a disgrace to the Cui family and a disgrace to the Cui family, so they refused to accept her. Miss Li wanted to go find her mother, but was beaten and driven away by the people of the Cui family." Han Zong continued.

"Is her father not here?" Li Fan asked.

"I haven't heard of it. From what I heard, Miss Li came alone." Han Zong replied.

Li Fan had a bad feeling in his heart.

Lin'an County is far away from Chuzhou. If Li Daoqing were here, he would not let Li Hongyi travel such a long distance to Chuzhou alone.

If Li Daoqing arrived, it would be impossible for him to just watch Li Hongyi being humiliated without showing up.

unless……

When Li Fan thought of what was wrong with Li Hongyi that day, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"It's my fault." Li Fan felt a little guilty. Back in Lin'an County, he promised Li Hongyi that he would accompany her to Cui's house to find her mother.

When Li Daoqing followed Li Hongyi in going crazy, it must have been because he was a disciple of Lishan. Li Daoqing knew that he did not have the ability to come to the Cui family, and he wanted to help his daughter, so he chose to help in this way.

But because of the Lishan incident, he returned to Lishan.

Judging from his acquaintance with Li Hongyi, Li Hongyi is naive and idealistic. She did not know the darkness of this world before. There is light in her eyes, so she followed him at all costs and risked her life.

"Brother Han, you are familiar with Chuzhou City, can you help me find her?" Li Fan said.

"I understand, and I will certainly try my best." Han Zong nodded. He could see that Li Fan and Li Hongyi had a special relationship, so he would naturally try his best.

Li Fan took out a package of demon pills and handed it to Han Zong.

"Xiao Fan, you saved our lives. I didn't do this because of the demon pill." Han Zong refused.

"I know." Li Fan nodded: "But I need to use it to get things done. I hope to find the person as quickly as possible. Besides, these demon pills were originally intended for Brother Han and Sister Chan."

Han Zong nodded and did not refuse again. Just as Li Fan said, if you want to get things done quickly, you need to use it.

"I'll go find someone right away." Han Zong turned and left, not daring to delay the matter.

Li Fan looked at Han Zong's back, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Cui family!

Miss Li was also a person with innate Dharma appearance, but she was rejected because she was an illegitimate child. The Cui family believed that it was a disgrace to the family.

He wanted to know how high the Cui family's door lintel was.
"Xiao Fan, Yin Qing is missing." Situ Chan next to him also spoke at this time.

Li Fan looked at her, only to hear Situ Chan continue, "My eldest brother had an argument with him that day and wanted to sever ties with him. Now that Yin Qing has disappeared, I'm worried that he will tell the government what happened outside the city and take revenge."

Although she and Yin Qing were brother and sister, she knew that Yin Qing was a narrow-minded person and was probably holding a grudge against him for what happened that day.

"It's okay, don't pay attention to it." Li Fan replied. If Yin Qing did this, the next time they met, he would be dead.

Situ Chan felt relieved when she heard Li Fan's words. It seemed that Li Fan did so with confidence.

However, Situ Chan was a little curious about what Li Fan’s confidence was and how he killed the tiger demon Shanjun?

In Situ Chan's eyes, the young man in front of her seemed more and more mysterious, and she could not see through him.
