My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 117 Flawless and Invincible, Dry Bones in the Tomb

"Yeah……"

Niu Kuanyu said in a deep voice, "When I was in the state capital, I heard that because of your rapid cultivation speed and extraordinary comprehension, you have attracted the attention of some forces who believe that you are hiding some secret treasure. Many people want to take action against you and seize it. We must be wary of this!"

As he spoke, Niu Kuanyu carefully observed Huang Tian's expression, trying to discern something from it.

Unfortunately, the latter's expression did not change at all.

"As for the so-called treasure, I don't have it. If they insist on thinking that way, let them come and try to take it. It's just a matter of dealing with whatever comes their way," Huang Tian said calmly.

Niu Kuanyu chuckled dryly twice, "Let's not talk about the secret treasure. Even if it exists, it's your own good fortune. No need to tell me, no need to tell me, haha..."

After saying a few more words, Huang Tian and Niu Kuanyu walked out of the hall one after the other.

Outside, Yu Jingcheng hadn't gone far, standing by a white wall waiting. When he saw Huang Tian come out, he immediately cast a concerned glance at him. The latter smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Zhou Tu did not leave either. He first looked at Huang Tian, ​​who was smiling faintly, as if he was thinking, and then cast his gaze at Niu Kuanyu, who walked out from behind.

Niu Kuanyu's expression was very calm, and there was even a slight smile on his lips, but as a detective of the Six Doors, Zhou Tu keenly sensed the displeasure hidden in his eyes.

'It seems Niu Kuanyu didn't learn anything from this conversation. Has this attempt to probe failed?'

With this thought in mind, Zhou Tu walked out of the government office alone and headed towards Zhenhua Ward.

On the other side, Huang Tian had already left the government office and, after taking a few steps, arrived at Qinghui Garden.

Upon seeing him, the guards at the gate were both surprised and delighted, and immediately bowed respectfully.

Huang Tian waved his hand and walked straight into the mansion. The servants and maids he encountered along the way were all excited and bowed. Soon, all the servants in Qinghui Garden knew that their master had returned, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

Aunt Qin rushed over with Heng'er, greeted Huang Tian, ​​and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Young Master, you're finally back safely. You said you'd be back in ten days or half a month when you left, but more than a month has passed and you still haven't returned..."

His words were full of worry.

Huang Tian laughed, "In the vast Kunyun, no one can harm me, so there is no need to worry."

As he spoke, he looked at Heng'er, whose eyes were full of joy, but she only said, "It's good that Si Lang is safe and sound."

Huang Tian chuckled, then suddenly remembered, "Have the items from the Fei Hong Sect's treasury been delivered to the manor?"

Aunt Qin nodded and replied, "They sent a lot, filling many rooms. It's just that there are many empty rooms in the mansion, otherwise we really wouldn't have enough room to store them all."

“Those things are useless to me. Go and contact the major merchant guilds in the county town, sell some of them, and keep some for future use.”

After saying that, Huang Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to hold a small banquet tomorrow night and invite Instructor Xu, Chief Instructor Liu, Commander Bai and others to my residence. Send someone to send them invitations."

The reason for the sudden banquet was twofold: firstly, he hadn't seen Instructor Xu, Head Instructor Liu, and others for a long time, so he wanted to have a small get-together; secondly, he had acquired too many spoils from this trip, and he could give some of the things he didn't really need to Instructor Xu and the others as a way of thanking them for their previous help.

"it is good."

……

……

While Aunt Qin was busy sending out invitations, Zhou Tu returned to a quiet and secluded mansion.

Zhou Miaosu came forward and asked, "Uncle, I heard that Huang Tian has returned to the county town. Have you seen him?"

Zhou Tu sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, pouring himself some tea as he said, "I saw him. He is indeed dashing and has an extraordinary air about him."

"What a pity...tsk!"

He took a sip of tea and shook his head regretfully.

Zhou Miaosu asked in confusion, "Uncle, what happened to make you like this..."

Zhou Tu didn't rush to speak because he was considering whether or not to tell Zhou Miaosu about Niu Kuanyu's possible coveting of Huangtian's secrets.

After a long silence, he asked, "Miaosu, what kind of person do you think Huang Tian is?"

Zhou Miaosu was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly changed the subject, but she still spoke the truth: "He is like a miracle, a myth. I would not be surprised no matter what great things he does."

Zhou Miaosu sat down on a stone bench. "When I was in the state capital, I saw all kinds of geniuses. Some of them were highly perceptive, and some cultivated quickly, but none of them ever gave me a feeling of... well, fear and powerlessness!"

"Fear and helplessness?" Zhou Tu pressed.

“That’s the feeling,” Zhou Miaosu said slowly. “I have carefully investigated his experience after entering the Guard Academy. In just one month, only one month! He made rapid progress and became a seventh-grade martial artist!”
Then, within half a month and a month, he broke through to new heights, defeating and killing two Grandmasters while at the fifth rank. This caused great anxiety among the four major sects, including the Guiyuan Sect, to the point that they threatened to force their own sect leaders to commit suicide, and then offered numerous apologies, begging for forgiveness.

Zhou Miaosu murmured, "He broke through too quickly, and it seems that he never makes mistakes, nor does he worry about anything. He is extremely confident."

If it were me, even if I had the strength to kill a third-grade grandmaster, I wouldn't dare to rashly enter the territory of the four major sects and stay in the library to read books. After all, if a sect suddenly invited a second-grade grandmaster, I might capture and kill him on the spot.

He's too confident!
I don't know where this confidence comes from, but I absolutely do not want to face an enemy like this; he is almost flawless, with no weaknesses whatsoever!

Zhou Tu was stunned upon hearing this. "It seems that it really is so. He is not worried about the four major sects setting up an ambush. He went straight into the sect alone on horseback."

In this world, apart from Yin Fenghai, who dominates the current era, no one dares to claim that they are invincible. Since they are not invincible, they will have some concerns and worries when they act.

Yet, Huang Tian showed absolutely no sign of worry.

Zhou Tu was puzzled. "What makes him so confident?!"

“I don’t know either, and that’s one of the reasons I’m afraid of him. He’s decisive, confident, and doesn’t make mistakes!” Zhou Miaosu said.

After a long silence, Zhou Tu finally recounted what had happened in the government office that day.

"Huang Tian's rapid cultivation is something everyone can see. What's even more terrifying is that he can kill a Grandmaster across two realms! Such a thing is rare in history, so many people covet the secrets he holds. If it were just an ordinary person trying to take advantage of him, that would be fine, but this time it's his superior..."

Zhou Tu sighed, "Niu Kuanyu is extremely strong. Even two of me might not be his match. If he seizes an opportunity to make a move, Huang Tian will surely die."

Before coming to Kunyun, I was hoping to get to know Huang Tian better, but I never expected to run into this mess.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Miaosu said quietly, "Uncle, do you really think Huang Tian is doomed?"

Zhou Tu was surprised, "You don't agree?"

Zhou Miaosu asked, "Uncle, if you were to go and fight Huang Tian to the death right now, are you confident you could kill him?"

Zhou Tu was taken aback. "A life-or-death battle between me and him?"

“Yes, if you think you can kill him easily, then Niu Kuanyu will naturally kill him without much effort. But if you're not confident…”

Zhou Tu fell into deep thought, recalling all the things Huang Tian had done along the way. After a long while, he sighed, "I'm not confident, in fact, I'm very uneasy!"

"Why are you uneasy?" Zhou Miaosu pressed. "Because it's been more than a month since he broke through to the fifth rank."

This time, it was Zhou Miaosu who was stunned.

Zhou Tu explained, "More than a month has passed, and he is very likely to break through again and reach the fourth rank. Judging from his record of killing a third rank when he is at the fifth rank, it will not be difficult for him to kill a second rank martial artist once he breaks through to the fourth rank!"

He felt a sense of absurdity even as he said those words.

When did it become possible for a fifth-rank cultivator to break through to the fourth-rank in just over a month? And which fourth-rank cultivator could kill a second-rank grandmaster?

But ironically, all of this seemed very likely to come true when it happened to Huang Tian!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Miaosu shuddered inexplicably. "He... he couldn't have really broken through again, could he?"

The two looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Miaosu said with a firm gaze, "Uncle, now is the best opportunity to befriend him!"

Zhou Tu nodded slowly. "Send someone to deliver a letter to him, telling him that Niu Kuanyu might target him... No, I'll visit him personally, right now!"

Seeing his attitude change so quickly, Zhou Miaosu couldn't help but joke, "Uncle, aren't you afraid of getting too close to Huang Tian and offending Niu Kuanyu?"

Zhou Tu scoffed, "Niu Kuanyu may be strong, but he's already a skeleton in a tomb!"

"Why?"

"He has offended Huang Tian; he won't live much longer."

After saying this leisurely, Zhou Tu got up and walked out of the courtyard. Zhou Miaosu thought for a moment and followed him. The two rode their horses and galloped all the way to the alley where Qinghui Garden in Baoqingfang was located.

Before even entering, I saw an elderly man with a full head of white hair, a hunched back, and a pale face walking out of Qinghui Garden.

"Who is that person?" Zhou Tu asked, noticing many people pointing and whispering about the old man nearby.

Zhou Miaosu whispered, "Huang Xunjiu."

"Him? How did he get into Qinghui Garden, and even go inside?" Zhou Tu asked in surprise.

After Huang Tian became famous in Yangzhou, everyone knew about his background. Therefore, although Zhou Tu had never met Huang Xunjiu before, he knew about his bad relationship with Huang Tian.

As far as Zhou Tu knew, Huang Tian rarely received outsiders, let alone Huang Xunjiu. The last time Huang Xunjiu came to visit, Huang Tian refused him entry, which was quite embarrassing. Why did he let him in this time?

Zhou Miaosu sighed and said, "Uncle, you don't know this, but ever since the news of Huang Tian's consecutive defeats and killings of two Grandmasters spread, the Huang family's already difficult days have become even more difficult."

First, the Huang family's clan property was almost completely divided up and devoured.

Then there was Huang Xunjiu's eldest son, Huang Qian, who was sent out of the county city on a mission. On the way, he was attacked and killed by a vicious man. He was seriously injured and escaped back. Although he survived, his blood and qi were severely damaged, his strength dropped to the ninth rank, and he had an arm cut off, making it difficult for him to improve his martial arts.

Huang Rui, the second son, and Huang Jian, the third son, got into trouble with a group of gangsters on the street during their days off. They were severely injured and their lower bodies were essentially crippled.

As for his wife, He Yunrou, she fell ill from worry because of the plight of her three sons, and her illness became serious and difficult to cure.

The successive blows shattered Huang Xunjiu's spirits, aging him decades in appearance. Completely disheartened, he reportedly planned to leave the county town and live out his remaining years in seclusion in the countryside.

"So, this visit is his last farewell, and also a plea for mercy?" Zhou Tu understood.

Zhou Miaosu nodded, "Since Huang Tian has allowed him into the manor, it means that everything has come to an end."

Zhou Tu understood, and sighed, "One wrong step, and this is the consequence."

Not only were the two of them moved, but the people nearby were also whispering among themselves.

"It's only because Huang Xunjiu was willing to lower himself and kneel down in front of Qinghui Garden that he wouldn't even be able to get in."

"He doesn't care about saving face anymore. If he did, his whole family might have been robbed as soon as they left the city."

"Hey, the Huang family's century-old legacy has been lost in a single day. How laughable and lamentable."

"You're mistaken. Who says the Huang family has fallen? Huang Xunjiu's Huang family has fallen, but the Huang family of Qinghui Garden is as prosperous as it could be!"

"That makes sense!"

"In any case, Huang Xunjiu has squandered a good hand. His eldest son, Huang Qian, is quite talented, and his fourth son, Huang Tian, ​​is a once-in-a-millennium talent. However, he failed to manage his family properly, which led to his current miserable state. What a pity! What a pity!"

"..."

Watching Huang Xunjiu's hunched back recede into the distance, Zhou and Tu shook their heads, dismounted, and went to the gate. The gatekeeper quickly informed them, and soon Huang Tian came out to greet them.

"Detective Zhou, Miss Miaosu."

"I apologize for this intrusion, Vice Minister Huang."

"You're too kind, please come in."

"please."

The three walked to the main hall, took their seats, and several maids served tea and fruit before quietly retreating.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Tu got straight to the point: "Huang Tian, ​​you need to be extra careful of Niu Kuanyu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tian's expression remained completely unchanged.

Zhou Tu paused for a moment, then continued:

“Niu Kuanyu and I were ordered to come to Kunyun to provide support in order to suppress the situation. In a few days, he will lead a team to Funing County to take charge, while I will stay in Juncheng Town to guard the area.”

When he leads his team to Funing, he might very well ask you to come along, and then interrogate you about some...secrets, or even try to kill you!

Huang Tian nodded. Niu Kuanyu would not be able to make a move in the city, lest the commotion become too big and difficult to handle. Once outside the city, in the desolate wilderness, there would be fewer concerns about taking action.

Zhou Tu added, "Moreover, besides Niu Kuanyu, the three elders of Qinzhou might also join the fight!"

The Three Elders of Qinzhou are three renowned independent cultivators in Qinzhou. Each of them is at the peak of the third rank and has also mastered a powerful combined attack technique. When the three of them join forces, they can fight against a second-rank expert for a short period of time!
"The three elders of Qinzhou may seem like independent wanderers, but I have found out that they have a lot of dealings with Niu Kuanyu, and the relationship between the two is extremely close."

In other words, if Niu Kuanyu were to make a move against you, they would most likely act together to ensure their safety.

A second-grade Grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation, plus a group of independent cultivators capable of fighting a second-grade Grandmaster in a short time!

Zhou Tu thought to himself that if he were facing such a formidable attack, he probably wouldn't last even half an incense stick's time!
However, he still didn't see any worry on Huang Tian's face. The latter only smiled and said, "Thank you, Detective Zhou. I understand."

Zhou Tu's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this, and he was secretly horrified: 'He's so calm and composed, could he really have broken through to the fourth rank again?!'

　Thank you Li Xiao for the 10,000 Qidian coins reward.
