Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 107 The Death of Qin Yan

Dongyang County City, Yizi Thirty-One Wards.

As soon as Lu Cheng left the inn, he transformed into a gray shadow and rushed over at full speed, almost ready to use the "Wind and Thunder Flash" technique.

When he arrived outside the neighborhood, he saw that the gate was completely surrounded.

A cacophony of discussion arose from within.

Exclamations like "Murder!", "So tragic!", and "So ruthless!" echoed from the crowd.

Lu Cheng couldn't hear anything or see what was happening, and he was anxiously pushing his way into the crowd.

Suddenly, Feng Shu's loud shout came from inside: "When the Dongyang Sect is handling matters, all irrelevant people, shut up and get out of the way!"

The sound echoed through the streets and soared into the sky.

Those around were horrified and quickly fell silent and backed away.

They quickly cleared a path, revealing what was inside.

Ye Liuyun's eyes were bloodshot as she and Feng Shu dragged someone out.

Lu Cheng recognized Ge Long just by looking at his figure.

At this moment, Ge Long's face was drooping, his body was covered in blood, and his arms and legs were completely limp. He was being supported by Ye and Feng.

Wan Chuan and Huang Chulei followed behind the three.

In the middle, two laborers were carrying a stretcher covered with a blood-stained white sheet.

The silhouette beneath the white cloth clearly outlines a human figure.

After clearing the way, the group quickly left the neighborhood.

"Wait a moment!"

'

Lu Cheng flashed forward and blocked the way for everyone.

Upon hearing the sound, Ge Long struggled to lift his head and open his bloodied eyes to look at Lu Cheng.

His mouth moved a few times, but before he could utter a sound, his head slumped and he fainted.

Lu Cheng frowned and said to the group, "Put the person down."

Qin Yan and Ye Liuyun were fellow disciples. When Qin Yan was murdered, Ye Liuyun was naturally filled with grief and anger.

Ye Liuyun released Ge Long's hand, touched the hilt of his sword, and took a light step forward.

His bloodshot eyes stared at Lu Cheng, his tone chilling, completely devoid of his usual nonchalant demeanor: "Junior Brother Lu, Ge Long killed Senior Brother Qin. You can't bear the responsibility for this!"

'

Lu Cheng shook his head: "Ge Long is only in the early stage of Body Refinement, how could he possibly kill Senior Brother Qin, whose strength is far superior to his? There must be some misunderstanding."

The group became tense and on guard as soon as they saw Lu Cheng.

Wan Chuan and Huang Chulei took two steps forward and stood behind Ye Liuyun and Huang Chulei.

Upon hearing this, Wan Chuan pointed to the stretcher beside him and angrily shouted, "Misunderstanding my ass!"

"We rushed over as soon as we heard the commotion, in no more than twenty breaths."

"As a result, Senior Brother Qin had already fallen to the ground, and only Ge Long was standing beside him with a knife."

"If he's not the killer, then who is?"

Lu Cheng said, "So you're saying you didn't witness Ge Long killing anyone?"

""

"Do I even need to see it?" Wan Chuan snorted, took Ge Long's long sword from the stretcher next to him, and drew it out with a "whoosh." "The fatal knife wound on Senior Brother Qin's body is exactly the same as this sword!"

The knife Wan Chuan was holding was Ge Long's.

The front half of the blade was stained with blood.

Lu Cheng frowned and stared at it for a long time, realizing the problem was quite difficult.

He nodded and said, "In that case, Ge Long is indeed a suspect."

"Hmph, then why don't you move aside!"

Feng Shu snorted and urged Lu Cheng to move aside.

Lu Cheng shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Being a suspect does not mean that he is the murderer. Since you have not seen it with your own eyes, you cannot be so arbitrary."

"If Ge Long did indeed kill the person, then according to the sect rules, it should be dealt with accordingly."

But if he didn't kill him, and you're taking him away now, he'll definitely have no way to survive.

77

Ge Long held on until Lu Cheng arrived before giving up resistance and letting himself fall into a coma. Lu Cheng could not betray this trust.

"Lu Cheng, are you looking for death?!"

Ye Liuyun's nostrils twitched, and he could no longer hold back. He roared and drew his sword with a "whoosh" to stab at Lu Cheng.

"Get out of my way!"

In terms of cultivation level alone, apart from elders and disciples like Cui Yuan, the entire Dongyang Sect is now at the top.

The highest realm is Xingdu, only half a step away from the late stage of Body Refinement.

Now, Lu Cheng has surpassed Xing Du.

He became the number one disciple.

Coupled with the powerful body-refining effect, Ye Liuyun's sword strike, which was only at the peak of the early stage of body refinement, posed no threat whatsoever to Lu Cheng.

It has neither speed nor power.

Lu Cheng simply darted past.

Enraged, Ye Liuyun swiftly thrust his sword three more times, each strike aimed at Lu Cheng's vital points.

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes, already feeling somewhat annoyed.

However, it is understandable that Ye Liuyun was grieving the recent loss of his senior brother.

Therefore, Lu Cheng was unwilling to take direct action and instead focused on dodging.

Having calmly dodged the three sword strikes, and just as he was about to speak, Feng Shu suddenly drew his knife and held it to Ge Long's neck, saying in a vicious voice, "Lu Cheng, if you don't stop, I'll kill him first!"

'

As he spoke, he applied force, leaving a line of blood on Ge Long's neck.

"court death!"

Lu Cheng was immediately enraged and no longer cared about respecting the dead or the dignity of his fellow disciples.

His figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from Ye Liuyun's sight.

All that was heard was a loud "boom".

When Lu Cheng was seen again, he was already behind Ye Liuyun and in front of Feng Shu.

A hand grabbed Feng Shu's neck: "You can try to use more force!"

""

Feng Shu's face turned red after being pinched by Lu Cheng.

While feeling fear, I was even more horrified.

Lu Cheng's speed was such that he changed direction in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, the hand gripping his neck felt like an iron clamp.

Feng Shu had no doubt that Lu Cheng could snap his neck before he could cut Ge Long's neck.

Terrified, he could only shake his head vigorously.

Ye Liuyun behind him only then realized what was happening.

Turning around to look at Lu Cheng with his back to her, she wanted to draw her sword and stab him, but she was afraid that Lu Cheng would strike first.

After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to make a move.

Just then, the sound of armor clashing came from the street.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding crowd was dispersed further.

More than thirty armored soldiers rushed over and surrounded Lu Cheng and the other six people and the corpse without saying a word.

Looking at the familiar armor worn by these soldiers, Lu Cheng had a vague idea of ​​their identities.

As expected, Ye Liuyun shouted at the soldiers, "Zhenwu Army? What do you mean by this?"

One of the men, who was clearly the leader, replied: "The Zhenwu Army is ordered to maintain the stability of martial arts in Dongyang County. If any martial artist commits a violent act, it is the Zhenwu Army's responsibility to take charge."

Even when facing Lu Cheng just now, Ye Liuyun only showed a mixture of shock and anger.

Hearing this, he surprisingly lost his composure, staring wide-eyed and pointing at the leader with gritted teeth, his voice urgent and fierce: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! The person is a disciple of our Dongyang Sect, and the corpse is also a member of our Dongyang Sect. This is an internal matter of our sect, and it is none of your business to interfere."

""

The leading soldier was a man in his thirties with an old scar on his face that ran diagonally from his eyebrow to his chin, clearly a veteran of many battles.

Hearing Ye Liuyun's words, he was not annoyed, but simply said in a calm tone, "Within the county town, the Zhenwu Army is in charge. We have jurisdiction over any cases of martial arts practitioners committing murder."

Ye Liuyun nodded and took a deep breath: "So, you're saying you're going to make things difficult for my Dongyang Sect? Does your General Tu know about this?"

"General Tu, whether you know or not, there's no need for your sect's disciples to trouble themselves." A voice came from behind the armored soldier. The volume was not loud, but it was powerful and carried an indescribable composure.

When Lu Cheng heard the voice, he first felt it was familiar, and then he showed surprise.

Could it be—

The voice continued, "The Dongyang Sect is also within the territory of the Great Yun Dynasty. Since someone died there, they should abide by the law."

The crowd parted to the side, and a figure, not wearing armor but only a gray-blue casual robe, slowly walked over.

Lu Cheng was stunned when he saw the man's face.

Sure enough it was him!
