My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 919 Divine Detective, Conditions (Two Combined)

Lu Changhe had no choice but to react so strongly.

It's simply because what Shen Changchuan did was far too heinous!
From south to north,

Seven or eight Beggars' Sect branches had all fallen victim to his evil deeds. From the branch leaders down to the stewards and even the elite members, they had all been controlled by his strange demonic arts.

The amount of Beggars' Sect martial arts techniques that were leaked as a result is almost unimaginable!

To know,
Anyone who can serve as the leader of a branch in a certain area is a core high-level figure in the entire Beggars' Sect, even if placed in the main altar!

The techniques they practiced were all profound secret methods passed down by the Beggars' Sect!

And that's how it got leaked.

and,

What angered Lu Changhe even more was that when the Beggars' Sect discovered the other party's existence and stirred up a huge uproar, expressing their anger to their fellow martial arts practitioners and declaring that they were determined to bring this scoundrel to justice...

This demon did not stop because he was intimidated by the Beggars' Sect's power.

Instead, they remained completely unaffected and continued their rampage!
Even not long ago,

He also killed Yan Chengyou, the leader of the Beggars' Sect's Suzhou branch!

You should know that Yan Chengyou was his most valued and prized student!

Such behavior,

That was practically a sarcastic jab.
How could Lu Changhe not be extremely furious?!

This was not only due to personal grudges arising from the death of his most outstanding and prized disciple, but also because of the reputation of the Beggars' Sect as the number one sect in the world!
If we cannot retaliate with the most ruthless means in the world,

What face do the Beggars' Sect have left?
Who will care about the Beggars' Sect in the future?!

to this end,

Lu Changhe worked almost non-stop for three days and three nights, mobilizing the forces of the Beggars' Sect disciples from all sides. At the same time, he spent a huge amount of money and favors to invite talented people from the martial arts world to come and search for clues.

Fortunately,
Kind-hearted people will be rewarded!
at last,

With the help of a legendary constable who had long since retired from the martial arts world, at great expense,

He finally caught up.
They caught Shen Changchuan red-handed!
God knows,
The moment Lu Changhe located Shen Changchuan and cornered him in the side room, he felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and exhilaration!

"Oh, is it so?"

Compared to the excitement of Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect,
Shen Changchuan's expression remained largely unchanged, completely calm.

"Let's not talk about this yet."

"I'm rather curious, how did you manage to pinpoint my location so precisely?"

"Logically speaking, none of them should have seen my true face."

For this,
He was quite curious.

When he was doing things, he would usually wear black clothes, cover his face with gauze, and also use some power techniques to change his height and body shape.

Furthermore, after scavenging the martial arts techniques from the minds of those members of the Beggars' Sect, that memory would become blurred or even erased.

Although Shen Changchuan didn't think much of this so-called Beggars' Sect, he was still happy to do it if it could reduce some trouble for him.

not to mention,
His actions were far worse than those of someone who steals martial arts skills from others in the martial arts world.

Even though Shen Changchuan wanted to take revenge on the Beggars' Sect, he didn't intend to fight them to the death.

After these methods and disguises,

Furthermore, with his unparalleled lightness skill that leaves no trace in the snow and his ultimate control over his own strength, the clues he can leave behind are even more negligible.

To find yourself

It's basically impossible now.
Not to mention pinpointing it precisely to oneself!

But rather,
This seemed like the most impossible thing, but it actually happened!
While I was eating,

The enemy brought men and attacked us!
Shen Changchuan's expression turned slightly thoughtful.
Memories of raiding those Beggars' Sect branches flashed through his mind, confirming that he hadn't made any careless mistakes or left any clues.

This made him even more curious.

"That's naturally because of me!"

at this time,

An elderly man with white hair and beard, and a hunched back, slowly walked out from behind Lu Changhe.
He leaned on a cane, his wrinkled face beaming as he looked at Shen Changchuan sitting behind the table.

Its nose twitched from time to time, as if it were sniffing something.

"Elder Lu paid a considerable price to persuade me to come out of seclusion!"

"I never expected that I would meet such an interesting person as you, young man, as I approach my twilight years."

Although the old man was old,
But his gaze toward Shen Changchuan was bright and profound.

It was as if at that moment, he had already discovered his secret!

"It's Lu Wenzong, the 'Taste-Chasing Yama'!"

Liu Ruyin gasped softly.

This is a renowned veteran detective in the underworld!
It is said that he was born with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and after cultivating a special technique, he greatly enhanced this talent, to the point that he could distinguish the fragrance of flowers from ten miles away!
Over the years, he has assisted the Six Doors in solving countless major cases, making criminals in the martial arts world tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name, earning him the title of "Chasing Yama."

He is also recognized as a divine constable by both the imperial court and the martial arts world!

More than a decade ago, the political situation was chaotic, and the upper echelons of the court were embroiled in power struggles and corruption.
As a result, the Six Doors organization, which was supposed to suppress the martial arts world, quickly degenerated.

Subsequently, Lu Wenzong resigned from his position in the Six Doors, citing his advanced age and diminished martial arts skills.

He then retired from his life of crime, went into seclusion in the mountains, and disappeared without a trace.

"I see, that explains it."

After Liu Ruyin explained in a low voice, they understood the other party's background.

Shen Changchuan nodded, somewhat realizing what was happening.

Although he was confident that he had not left any trace in his past actions, he had never noticed the scent lingering in the air.

It's not surprising that the other party could track you down by your scent.

"Old man, since you've lived most of your life, weathered countless storms, and ultimately managed to emerge unscathed, why do you want to get involved in this mess now?"

"Aren't you afraid that you'll suffer a major setback when you should be enjoying your retirement, and everything will be for nothing?"

It's clear that the other person is a good person.

Moreover, he had spent most of his life fighting criminals, so Shen Changchuan couldn't help but have more respect for him.

of course,

This so-called respect is nothing more than doing what one pleases.

If the other party truly threatens his life, Shen Changchuan will not hesitate to send them to their death.

"Hey, it's hard to repay favors."

"An old friend came to my door and offered me a benefit that I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to come over despite my old bones."

"What's more, the scent on you is almost exactly the same as that of the successor I had my eye on, whom I killed four or five years ago in a small town in the Wei River basin!"

"That poor lad had quite a bit of talent in his nose; he should have been able to inherit my mantle. I was thinking of letting him wander for a few more years to temper his character before taking him under my wing." "But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, that lad would be abandoned in the wilderness, his body never to be found!"

"I had no intention of pursuing the rights and wrongs of this matter, but the aura brought by my old friend is almost identical to the aura that killed that brat back then, which changes the situation."

Lu Wenzong's voice was somewhat emotional.

in fact,

The little guy named Er Gou was found and recommended to him by someone from Luchanghe.

Because he had always wanted to find a successor to pass on his skills.

With disciples all over the world and a wide network of contacts, the Beggars' Sect can more easily find those with extraordinary talents.

Therefore, Lu Wenzong asked Lu Changhe to help him find someone with a special talent in the sense of smell.

Unfortunately,
Because I felt that kid wasn't mature enough.
I want the other person to have some experience so that I can teach them better in the future.
Therefore, Lu Wenzong didn't even have a chance to show off his abilities in front of that kid once.
Unexpectedly, he passed away just like that.

Right now,

They had originally planned to give up on pursuing their "enemy," but years later they were forced to run into each other again due to other matters.

Perhaps this is exactly what the saying means.

What is coming will come!

Lu Wenzong couldn't help but feel a sense of the intertwining of cause and effect in the world, and the unpredictability of fate.

"Is that so? Four years ago, when I first ventured out of the mountains, I did encounter a guy named Er Gou with a very keen nose. He smelled the century-old ginseng in my bag and tried to ambush me in the wild with his accomplices, but I ended up killing him instead."

Shen Changchuan nodded knowingly.

He certainly remembered that incident; it hadn't been that long ago.

When he first emerged from seclusion, he was preparing to search for the extraordinary power of martial arts in his native world.

The ambush occurred in the small town before reaching Nanyang County.

That was also the first time this body of mine had killed someone.

Shen Changchuan would naturally not forget.

"That's not right of you, senior. If you take a liking to that kid, just take him under your wing and train him slowly."

"Letting him roam freely outside, that talent has become his deadly weapon!"

"I understand this matter as well."

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Wenzong's aged face as he stroked his beard.

"Over the years, I have sometimes regretted not acting decisively back then, so that I wouldn't have ended up with nothing to show for my efforts."

"Alright, old friend."

"Don't be fooled by the gentle words of this devil. This scoundrel's crimes are countless. He is cruel and cunning, and his words are probably full of lies. There is no need to waste any more words. Please step back, lest that brat suddenly take you hostage if we make a move."

During the back-and-forth conversation between Shen Changchuan and Lu Wenzong,

Elder Lu Changhe, who was almost invisible, finally couldn't help but step forward.

He directly interrupted their "pleasant conversation" and cut them off.

He patted Lu Wenzong on the shoulder and pulled him behind him.

At other times,
Facing other enemies,

Lu Changhe didn't mind letting Lu Wenzong's "gossip" gossip for a while.

Lu Wenzong's ability to become a renowned constable in the martial arts world is not solely due to his keen sense of smell. Decades of exposure to the world have given him a wealth of experience, allowing him to easily discern a person's background through casual conversation.

As an old friend, Lu Changhe knew this.

He also knew,
The seemingly casual conversation between the old friend and the kid actually conceals a deeper, hidden meaning: to investigate each other's background and origins.

But Lu Changhe didn't think it was necessary.

In the martial arts world, being killed for stealing someone else's martial arts skills will only elicit cheers.

No matter how you look at it, the Beggars' Sect is in the right.
Even if this brat has some powerful master or elder behind him, let them go to the Beggars' Sect headquarters and complain!

Their reputation as the number one gang in the world wasn't given to them by anyone else!
Seeing the damned brat in front of him remain calm and collected, showing no panic whatsoever even as disaster looms over him...

The anger in Lu Changhe's heart grew even stronger.

He has been able to endure until now.

This is already a very restrained result!
"Kid, I don't know your background or identity, and I don't want to know."

"Those who steal the martial arts of my Beggars' Sect shall be punished with three cuts and six holes, and a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices."

"However, Heaven cherishes life. Now that you have severed your own arms and handed over your harmful demonic skills, I will escort you to the main altar and beg the gang leader to spare your life."

"Given the leader's mercy, at most he would destroy your dantian and cripple your martial arts before letting you go and sparing your dog's life."

"You do it yourself!"

Lu Changhe waved his sleeve and looked down at Shen Changchuan with an unquestionable air of authority.

"Oh, so your gang is truly 'benevolent'!"

"What if I say no?"

A faint smile appeared on Shen Changchuan's face.

"Refuse? That's perfect, let's beat him half to death first!"

Lu Changhe snorted coldly, his true energy surging, his robes fluttering without wind, and the entire Wangjiang Tower trembled slightly under his terrifying aura!
He was already very unhappy with Shen Changchuan's attitude.
However, this incident caused too much of a stir and attracted too much attention. If they immediately killed the other party without giving them a chance to speak, people would say that the Beggars' Sect was too domineering and that it would damage their reputation as a prestigious and righteous sect.

Therefore, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and resort to "courtesy first, then force".

You won't take the opportunity I offer.

reject?

That would be perfect!

"Then I'd like to see how you beat me half to death."

Shen Changchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, staring directly at Lu Changhe with a mocking and provocative expression on his face.

"Fine! You asked for this!"

Accompanied by a roar,
boom!
A torrent of true energy surged forth, instantly engulfing the entire third floor of Wangjiang Tower!

Lu Changhe has made his move!

Liu Ruyin, who was standing to the side, saw Lu Changhe strike Shen Changchuan with a palm from a distance. The continuous force transformed into hundreds of palm shadows, which seemed to be thunder breaking through the air. Suddenly, the hundreds of palm shadows merged into one, turning into a thunderous strike that swept away everything!
This palm,
The sheer aura emanating from the surroundings was enough to cause the entire private room to tremble violently at that moment!

The power it contains, if not enough to destroy mountains and shatter peaks, is enough to sweep away all obstacles in the world!

Grandmaster of the Primordial Realm!

This is a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!
In a flash,

Liu Ruyin, who was only affected by the incident, felt as if she were being targeted by gods and demons, and that death was imminent!
that moment,
It was as if she were facing a towering mountain, rolling down on her and about to crush her into mincemeat in the next moment!
