Eternal Sword

Chapter 245 Night Detective
Sheriff's Mansion.

When Li Jin and his companions returned to the mansion, they immediately went to find Zhao Ruqi, the governor of Yunduan County, and told him about their encounter with Chen Tang on the road.

"Have you looked carefully? Is this a token bestowed by the Emperor?"

Zhao Ruqi frowned slightly.

Li Jin said quickly: "Sir, I saw it clearly, there is no mistake."

Zhao Ruqi asked, "What's his name?"

Li Jin said: "I didn't find out the answer. The imperial envoy was very tight-lipped. He just said his last name was Yuan."

On the way here, Li Jin had tried to find out Chen Tang's true intentions by asking around.

Chen Tang responded half-truthfully and said his last name was Yuan.

Borrowing the surname of the Qian royal family and adding this imperial token, he seems even more unfathomable.

"Yuan?"

Zhao Ruqi seemed to be thinking about something, and murmured softly, "He is so young, and his surname is Yuan, so he should be from the royal family."

Li Jin asked tentatively: "Sir, this imperial envoy seems to want to thoroughly investigate the case of poisoned porridge outside the city. What should we do?"

"Ah."

Zhao Ruqi sneered and said, "He's just one person, he doesn't even have an attendant, why should we be afraid of him? When we get to Yunduan County, we have to lie down like a tiger or coil up like a dragon!"

"Let the captain of the Qinglong Division go find him tomorrow to check on him. Haha, the Qinglong Division alone is enough for him to handle."

"understand!"

Li Jin bowed and retreated.

……

Penglai Inn.

Chen Tang closed his eyes and rested in the room, with "Wan Gu" placed across his knees. He relaxed his whole body and waited for nightfall.

Not long after, Yan Qi and Jing Wuming pushed the door open and came in.

"Brother Chen, the fifteen Qilin Guards from Yunduan County have all gathered."

"There are eight Suzaku Guards in Yunduan County, and they are all here."

Yan Qi and Jing Wuming looked at Chen Tang, waiting for his next instruction.

Chen Tang opened his eyes and said, "Just wait outside the County Magistrate's Mansion. If you see the Azure Dragon Captain and his men rushing in, go in and capture him immediately. Leave the rest to me."

Counties like Yunduan County and Wuan County are similar.

The county magistrate's cultivation level is probably between the fourth and fifth ranks. For a relatively small county town like Yunduan County, the most likely one is the fifth rank.

In the county city, the one with the highest martial arts level is the captain of the Qinglong Division.

To be able to serve as a captain of the Four Symbols Department, one must generally reach the fourth level of awakening realm!
This is also the person who poses the greatest threat to Chen Tang.

Therefore, Chen Tang handed this person over to Yan Qi and Jing Wuming to deal with.

Of course, for most people, the strength of Xuantian Temple should not be underestimated.

But for Chen Tang, these alchemists in Xuantian Temple were nothing to worry about.

If it was the Xuantian Temple or Qinglongsi in Qingzhou City, Chen Tang would have to take a detour.

"Brother Chen, you go to Xuantian Temple alone..."

Jing Wuming hesitated to speak, feeling a little worried.

Chen Tang said: "I am no longer in the court. I have already offended Xuantian Sect. I have nothing to worry about. The worst that can happen is that I will leave Qian Kingdom in the future. You will still be officials in Qian Kingdom in the future, which is different from me."

Chen Tang has made up his mind to leave Qian Kingdom and go to Nanxia.

No matter how big a disaster you cause, I don't care.

But Jing Wuming and Yan Qi were officials in the imperial court after all, and in many cases they had to leave a way out for themselves.

"Brother Chen, be careful!"

Jing Wuming and the other man gave him some instructions. Chen Tang nodded, stood up and left the room, sneaking into the night and soon disappeared.

He had never been to Yunduan County, but Xuantian Tower was the tallest building in this county and was extremely conspicuous.

Under curfew, the streets were empty. Chen Tang avoided the patrolling yamen runners and shuttled through the dim streets and alleys, quickly approaching the direction of Xuantian Temple.

Not long after, Chen Tang arrived outside Xuantian Temple.

He listened for a moment and found no one around. He raised his head to glance at the wall which was more than ten feet high. He exerted force with his legs, leaped up and flipped over. Even the gecko wall-climbing skill was of no use.

Generally speaking, the master of Xuantian Temple would rest on the top floor of Xuantian Tower.

There are not many guards downstairs of Xuantian Building.

In this Yunduan County, who dares to come to Xuantian Temple to cause trouble!

With Chen Tang's current level of cultivation, he easily avoided the sight of these guards and climbed up to Xuantian Tower in no time.

Through the slightly open window, Chen Tang could clearly see that there was a person sleeping on the bed inside.

Judging from the general layout of the room, this person should be the master of Xuantian Temple, Ye Zhi!
Chen Tang opened the window, turned over and jumped in.

During the whole process, almost no sound was made.

But a breeze blew in.

"who!"

Ye Zhi, the master of Xuantian Temple, who was lying on the bed, was extremely alert. He sat up abruptly, opened the sword case beside him with one hand, pressed the edge of the bed with the other hand, looked in the direction of the window, and shouted in a low voice.

Chen Tang shook his head secretly.

His physical skills are still far behind the fat old man.

If he could practice the "Sui Feng Jue" in "Fuyao Kung Fu" to perfection, he would be able to flip over and sneak in with the wind, without a trace or a sound, and would definitely not wake Ye Zhi up!
Of course, whether Ye Zhi was alarmed or not was irrelevant to Chen Tang.

"You must have poisoned those victims outside the city."

Chen Tang walked slowly towards Ye Zhi and asked casually.

"So what?"

Ye Zhi sat on the bed, not panicking. While answering, he made a sword finger with his left hand and swung it forward violently!
Whoosh!
The flying sword, which had been lying motionless in the sword box, suddenly jumped out and turned into a white light, instantly illuminating the entire room, and stabbed straight towards Chen Tang's face!
suddenly!

The knife flashes!
Ye Zhi was so dazzled that he could hardly open his eyes.

The flash of the knife seemed even more dazzling than his flying sword!
when!
Ye Zhi didn't see anything clearly, he just heard the sound of swords clashing.

The next moment, he saw the flying sword that he had tempered for decades falling from mid-air.

When it fell to the ground, it had already broken into two pieces!

hiss!
Ye Zhi took a deep breath and his pupils contracted violently!

Normally, the flying sword of the alchemist is integrated with many rare metals and is tempered day and night, so its sharpness and hardness are far beyond the weapons used by warriors.

But he didn't expect that his flying sword was cut into two pieces by the person in front of him with just a single stroke!

What kind of magical weapon is the other party holding?
It was not until this moment that Yeats felt a little panic.

Most of his skills are placed on this flying sword.

With his flying sword broken, he couldn't even defeat a ninth-rank warrior.

Without time to think, Ye Zhi suddenly pulled a silk thread on the edge of the bed.

The next moment, the entire Xuantian Tower was filled with the sound of bells!

The sound was extremely harsh and was extremely obvious in the quiet night!

Along with the ringing of the bell, there was an obvious burst of noise coming from below Xuantian Tower.

Accompanied by bursts of shouting, all the disciples and guards of Xuantian Temple were awakened from their sleep and rushed towards this place from all directions of the temple.

Ye Zhi finally smiled and said, "I don't care who you are. If you leave now before all my disciples arrive, you still have a chance to survive!"
