I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

"Open the door! The authorities are searching for criminals!"

There was another urgent knocking at the gate.

This time, a different group of people were present and did not know that this was Xu Yan's residence.

Fang Zhao remained calm as he slowly bent down and picked up the blade that had fallen to the ground.

He knew that his martial arts talent was limited and that he was no match for the Chen family.

In this lifetime, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to avenge Su Miaoyun and Su Mu.

More importantly, he is now seriously injured and cannot hold on for much longer.

Seeing that more constables had come to search for him, Fang Zhao, knowing that Xu Yan was a good person, did not want to implicate him any further.

"Fang Lang, no!"

Seeing this, Su Miaoyun shook her head frantically, trying to stop her.

But now she was just a wisp of soul, her hands passing through Fang Zhao's arms, unable to do anything.

"My lord, I do not ask you to kill Chen Jian."

"I only ask that after you have achieved this merit, if you ever gain power and influence, you will hold a high position and great authority."

"Get justice for Su Mu! Avenge those siblings!"

The knife fell quickly, and Xu Yan hurriedly reached out to cover Xiao Qi's eyes.

"Miaoyun...I'm sorry."

Fang Zhao's voice lowered, weak and feeble, "If there is an afterlife, I will never let you down..."

"Fang Lang...Fang Lang!"

Su Miaoyun's figure gradually faded away amidst the repeated calls.

She has been trapped here for twenty years, and her real obsession is not to see her brother again.

Instead, they heard an "I'm sorry" that was twenty years overdue.

Xu Yan stared at Fang Zhao's corpse in silence for a moment, his expression complex.

He knew that Fang Zhao was at his wit's end.

Xu Yan sighed, bent down to put away Fang Zhao's mask, then picked up Fang Zhao's head and the knife, and turned to walk towards the courtyard gate.

When the courtyard gate opened, the yamen runners outside already looked somewhat impatient, but softened their expressions upon seeing him: "Xu Yan?"

Her gaze then fell on the two items in his hand, and she paused for a moment, "This is..."

"It's the person who assassinated the second master of the Chen family," Xu Yan said calmly. "I didn't expect him to be hiding in my house."

The constable was startled by what he heard, and his eyes darted back and forth twice before he seemed to realize what he was saying.

He knew perfectly well how difficult this person was to deal with.

He injured several experts from the Chen family at the Cave Pulse Realm, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by Xu Yan single-handedly.

He wasn't even injured!

He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but then decided there was no need to, and finally just nodded: "Then... will you come back to the yamen with me?"

Inside the yamen, Chen Xuan was slightly surprised to learn that Xu Yan had captured and killed the assassin.

A moment later, Chen Jian, the second master of the Chen family, rushed over. He did not remember the assassin's face, but he recognized the martial arts marks on Fang Zhao's clothes and wounds.

After confirming that it was correct, he suddenly became furious and kicked the head away.

"Have you got some nerve? Daring to assassinate me?"

Chen Xuan and Xu Yan both frowned.

Chen Xuan was not a member of the Chen family in Qingshi Town; they just happened to share the same surname.

He said coldly, "Respect for the dead is paramount. Now that the case is closed, Mr. Chen, please go back."

Chen Jian wanted to say something to vent his anger, but when he met Chen Xuan's gaze, he didn't say anything more. He just snorted coldly and turned to walk out.

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom. Xu Yan walked over, bent down, picked up the head, put it back in its place, and then straightened the man's clothes before standing up.

Chen Xuan stepped forward and patted Xu Yan on the shoulder.

"Excellent, another meritorious service."

He heard some things from the Chen family.

He estimated that Fang Zhao was much stronger than Wei Xiong, so Xu Yan's ability to defeat him alone was indeed beyond his expectations.

Xu Yan remained silent for a moment, without replying.

He discovered that the second master of the Chen family was the middle-aged man who had insulted him and Xiao Qi at the night market earlier that day.

Because Xu Yan had changed into official robes, Chen Jian did not recognize him.

After everyone had dispersed, Xu Yan asked in a low voice, "Lord Chen, if someone is driven to desperation and resorts to violence, is he still someone who deserves to die?"

Chen Xuan didn't answer immediately, but after a few moments, he asked in return, "What do you think?"

Xu Yan shook his head, somewhat confused.

Having spent so much time in the yamen, he had seen too many cases of scions of prominent families committing crimes only to be bailed out by their families and sent back home.

In this world, justice is reserved for the upper class; the lower class can only suffer.

Just like Su Mu, who was captured and tortured by the Chen family for a month, died, and the wanted poster is still hanging in the case file.

Isn't that absurd?

No wonder there are many names on the government's wanted list that are not on the system's blacklist.

Chen Xuan gave him a deep look, his tone slightly more somber than before: "You can't judge the good and bad people in this world right now."

"If you want to distinguish right from wrong in your own heart, then work hard to climb the ranks." He paused for a moment, "The Superintendent's Office should reply soon. If not, I will report this incident again."

After saying that, Chen Xuan didn't say anything more. He just patted Xu Yan on the shoulder and turned to leave.

After returning home, Xu Yan sat in the empty courtyard.

He took out the mask that Fang Zhao had used.

【Ever-changing】

[After use, it can change the player's body shape and appearance]

"It seems this is the final reward for Su Miaoyun's side quest."

He had assumed that Su Miaoyun's younger brother might be dead, or that he was hiding his identity to avoid capture.

But I never expected it to end in this way.

Xu Yan looked up at the light screen that had not yet dissipated in front of him.

The Avengers pass on the torch!

I can't just do nothing.

The name of this achievement clearly anticipates that players will seek revenge for Su Miaoyun and her companions, and may even directly kill Chen Jian.

Xu Yan put on a mask, transforming into one of Chen Jian's servants, and left the house.

Arriving at the Chen family's house went much more smoothly than he had expected, and he encountered almost no questioning.

Using his experience in the Xu family, Xu Yan wandered around the mansion for a while and found the courtyard where Chen Jian was.

"Who are you trying to impress with that long face?"

Inside the room, Chen Jian slapped his young concubine across the face.

He was assassinated today and punched twice; he's really angry right now.

Moreover, this concubine always cried and sobbed whenever she served him, which annoyed Chen Jian more and more, so he raised his hand and grabbed her neck.

Not long after, the concubine fell silent.

Xu Yan happened to push the door open and enter.

Chen Jian released his grip, his face expressionless, and looked up at him. "Did you find anything?"

Xu Yan reacted quickly, bowing his head and saying, "Second Master, we haven't found anything yet."

"waste!"

Chen Jian grabbed a teacup and smashed it against Xu Yan, splashing tea all over the floor.

"Go and find out who it is! If you can't find out, I'll sell you all out!"

"That brat dared to hit me! I'll drag him back and skin him alive!"

Xu Yan immediately understood that Chen Jian wanted to arrest him.

"Are you going to skin me alive?"

I only wanted to teach you a lesson, but now I can't let it go like this.

If Chen Jian is allowed to live, he will only continue to oppress innocent people.

They might even retaliate against me and Xiaoqi.

Xu Yan took a step forward and punched Chen Jian in the face.

"You lowly commoner, have you gone too far?"

Before Chen Jian could even utter a curse, Xu Yan had already dislocated all four of his limbs.

Although he was at the Cave Meridian Realm, his body had long been weakened by wine and women, and his actual combat strength was not even as good as some Body Tempering Realm cultivators, so he was naturally no match for them.

Xu Yan covered Chen Jian's mouth, glanced at the concubine who had already died beside him, then looked away and grabbed Chen Jian's neck.

"Take a deep breath."

Dizziness is normal.

After Chen Jian's death, Xu Yan put on Xu Sanqi's face and strolled around the Chen family's residence.

......

The next day.

Looking completely bewildered, Xu Sanqi was taken to the crime scene.

Chen Jian's body was hanging from the roof beam, already lifeless.

Beneath the corpse, a line of words was written in blood.

"The murderer, Xu Sanqi, is acting on behalf of Heaven!"

......

half a month later.

Yunzhou, Anle City.

Qingshi Town is located within Yunzhou, while Anle City is the capital of Yunzhou Prefecture, and the Superintendent of Police's office is located here.

"Lord Qin."

A minor official carrying a file stopped and bowed respectfully upon seeing Qin Feng.

The Bureau of Investigation and Arrest is nominally subordinate to the Xuan Kingdom's royal family, but in reality, it is controlled by powerful families in various prefectures and counties.

The head of the Qin family is the commander of the Anle City Police Department.

Qin Feng is the eldest son of the Qin family in Anle City.

Qin Feng did not stop walking, nor did his gaze shift.

He had taken his cousin out for a walk some time ago and only recently returned to the city.

He was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the dossier in the clerk's hand, and he slowed down and stopped.

Qin Feng knew that these files were lists of documents to be submitted for review.

In the past, he would occasionally flip through a few documents out of curiosity, pick one or two that looked pleasing to the eye and approve them directly, just to pass the time.

He held out his hand, gesturing for the clerk to hand over the documents.

The minor official dared not be negligent and presented it with both hands.

Qin Feng casually turned to a page.

A face in a painting made his gaze pause slightly.

The person in the painting is Xu Yan.

He looked at that face and vaguely remembered something.

My cousin took a liking to the jade pendant on this man's body, but he protected it tightly and wouldn't let her have it.

Looking at the records in the file, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Slayed two criminals at the Cave Vein Realm?"

"You really can't judge a book by its cover."

He had been scheming these past few days about how to get his hands on that jade to win his cousin's favor, but unexpectedly, she delivered herself to his doorstep.
