Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

The current situation is indeed very difficult;

He had fallen into a situation where he could not prove his innocence.

You say this is a setup? Fine, then explain who would set you up? And why would they set you up?

Just because you have some martial arts talent?

Even Chu Yuan felt a little heavy-hearted at this moment;

If he is truly convicted of murdering Li Chen, then it's all over...

No matter how talented a martial arts genius is, if they are cruel and vicious, bully the weak, and disregard the rules, they will still be punished.

Are we training you up to cause trouble for the Qin state?

Friction and even killing among martial artists are inevitable, but that only applies after reaching the Inner Breath Realm!

Before reaching the Inner Breath Realm, one can request a deathmatch from their department!

Private killings are absolutely forbidden!

Moreover, they are just senior high school students, not even formal martial artists, so attacking ordinary people is an even greater crime!

Fortunately, Zidane's attitude reassured him somewhat; at least the principal was on his side.

As the principal of Chenyang No. 1 Middle School and a fifth-realm martial artist, his opinions carry considerable weight.

"Not many people know about the feud between you and Li Chen. It was only yesterday, when you attacked Li Chen, that people at the school found out."

Before the news could even spread, the perpetrator struck that very night... In reality, the suspect's area was very small, basically limited to the school area.

Chu Yuan nodded, agreeing with this view.

Furthermore, since Li Chen had bodyguards at the Inner Qi Realm level, the students could basically be ruled out as suspects.

Even most teachers could be ruled out as suspects, as they lacked the ability to quickly kill someone at the Inner Breath Realm.

There's still one question I can't figure out: what exactly is the other party after?

To vent my anger?

That's impossible...

"I'll start investigating. You should also keep an eye out for anything unusual around you." Zidane stubbed out his cigarette. "These things can't be rushed. I can hold off the police and the Li family for a few more days."

Since the real culprit dared to risk offending the Li family, it certainly wouldn't be as simple as just killing one person.

"it is good."

"Do you have enough martial arts pills?"

"That's not enough."

"You're quite impolite..." Zidane smiled, and then took out several jade bottles from somewhere and placed them on the table;

"You can't neglect your cultivation either, go on."

"Thank you, Principal."

After taking the pills, Chu Yuan did not return to the classroom, but went straight home;

Chu Ying was at school, while Han Cui was at home.

She has listened to Chu Yuan and closed the restaurant, preparing to transfer the business to someone else.

However, there's no next buyer yet...

Han Cui was somewhat surprised to see Chu Yuan suddenly return, so she asked him a few questions.

Chu Yuan gave a perfunctory reply and then locked himself in his bedroom.

Zidane is right. No matter what happens, training is the most important thing!

His current cultivation level is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Once he reaches the ninth level, he can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

If you have enough elixirs, reaching the ninth level doesn't take too long...

Chu Yuan cultivated until nightfall, and only after all the immortal cultivation pills he had on hand were used up did he open his eyes.

He picked up the terminal; there were several messages from Yang Yi asking why he wasn't at school today and whether the transaction should continue...

Chu Yuan didn't care about anything else and asked directly, "Send me Zhou Zhe's address."

"...Chu Yuan, I heard about Li Chen's death. Could it really be you who did it?"

"no."

"I don't think so either. You wouldn't be that stupid..." Yang Yi paused, seemingly considering for a long time, before cautiously asking, "Then what do you need Zhou Zhe's address for?"

"Don't worry, I definitely'm not going to kill him."

"Oh, oh..." Yang Yi replied, then fell silent again, seemingly struggling with his thoughts;

It wasn't until two or three minutes later that an address was sent to Chu Yuan's terminal.

"Um... I asked my dad to find someone to speak on your behalf, but the Li family has a lot of influence..."

"Thank you, but no need," Chu Yuan replied, memorizing the address. He then got up, picked up his sword, and climbed out of the window.

"Sorry, I couldn't help you..."

After reading this sentence, Chu Yuan did not reply. A wisp of spiritual energy enveloped his entire body, and he stepped outside.

He didn't step fast; his pace was just like that of an ordinary person.

Yet they are as light as smoke, often taking a single step and already more than ten meters away!

Therefore, it moves extremely fast, like a ghost!

It was his movement technique, transformed by the system, called "Luo Yan Bu"!

Cultivators rarely use movement techniques; they commonly use escape techniques!

After all, close-quarters combat is rare among cultivators...

Chu Yuan hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his spiritual power was pitifully low; he couldn't even fly... Even if he were given a teleportation technique, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Luo Yanbu's movements were just right, requiring minimal exertion, and her performance was outstanding!

He didn't have any other motives for asking for Zhou Zhe's address; he just wanted to stake out the place.

If the other party was trying to frame me, then Zhou Zhe was the first person to clash with me!

Why did the other party choose to kill Li Chen instead of Zhou Zhe, who was easier to kill?

Is it because of Li Chen's background? Do they think Zhou Zhe isn't influential enough?

In Chu Yuan's view, if he were the real culprit, seeing that Li Chen's death had not caused any disturbance, he would definitely do something else.

Zhou Zhe, with whom he had a conflict, was the most suitable target!

......

Although Zhou Zhe's family was not extremely wealthy, they were quite well-off, so they lived in a high-end neighborhood.

At the very least, the security guards at the entrance are all martial artists at the Qi and Blood Realm.

Chu Yuan observed the situation for a moment, then climbed over the wall and arrived at a building according to the address Yang Yi had given him;

Then... he climbed directly up the outer wall to the rooftop.

Late at night, with a bright moon and few stars, almost no one was coming or going from the residential area;

Chu Yuan wasn't sure if the other party would act as he expected, but he could only wait there.

About an hour later, a figure was seen walking slowly from a distance, pushing open the unit door and entering.

Chu Yuan then drew his longsword, pushed open the door to the rooftop, and went down...

Zhou Zhe's home is on the seventeenth floor;

Chu Yuan stood calmly at the corner of the eighteenth-floor staircase.

He heard a knock on the door;

Then a series of impatient curses came from inside the house:

"Damn it, who is it! In the middle of the night..."

The sound of the door opening...

The sound of a throat being crushed...

And a few seconds later, a terrified scream came from Zhou Zhe: "Ah! Chu Yuan!"

You killed...you killed...
