A Thousand Years of Immortal Dreams

Chapter 24 Law Enforcement Interrogation, Girl's Suspicion

Cao Wang counted them carefully.

Good guy!

There were actually more than two hundred spirit stones.

He's just a new disciple who's just started learning!

This wealth is probably beyond the reach of even the inner disciples!

Cao Wang put them all into the jade pendant's space.

There are other kinds of pills as well.

Four pills of Yipin Fuling Yangyuan Dan are used to repair minor injuries and nourish the meridians.

Three Grade One Qi Gathering Pills are for daily cultivation by disciples in the Qi Refining stage. After taking them, the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption will be increased for two hours.

There are also four "First-Class Poison-Repelling Pills," which can neutralize common miasma poisoning, snake venom, insect venom, etc.

Secondly, there are some other materials.

What attracted Cao Wang's attention the most was a dark-colored longsword with lightning patterns.

"This is... a magical artifact?"

Cao Wang picked it up solemnly.

The slightly heavy feel, along with the faint traces of lightning power, is enough to show that this is a powerful lightning-attribute magic sword.

"Could this be the magical artifact that Wang Hu crafted?"

Cao Wang's breathing became somewhat heavy.

Then he channeled his spiritual power in an attempt to control the thunder sword.

"It didn't even acknowledge a master!"

Cao Wang was immediately overjoyed.

"It seems this thing wasn't bound to me after it was successfully crafted, and I didn't expect it to be such a lucky find!"

"However, once this thing is successfully made, many people will have seen it, so it's completely unusable."

Thinking of this, Cao Wang immediately dripped blood to bind the jade pendant to its owner, then placed it inside the jade pendant, intending to use it at a crucial moment.

This is a trip to get revenge.

Not only did they kill Wang Hu.

And there are so many other gains.

Rest in peace!

In the darkness, Cao Wang sighed, poured a cup of wine on the ground, to comfort Hua An's spirit in heaven.

……

After daybreak, at the outer gate canteen.

Cao Wang strained his ears to listen to what was happening beside him.

"Have you heard? Wang Hu is dead!"

"Wang Hu? Which Wang Hu?"

"That strongest newcomer to the outer sect, the one at the ninth level of Qi Refining, is the one who set up that trap!"

"Huh? Wasn't this guy protected by someone from the inner sect? How did he die?"

"He tried to trap the fish in a jar, but he was outmaneuvered by the mantis stalking the cicada! I heard that his magic bag was stolen."

"That can't be right. I heard he went mad from practicing lightning magic. Last night, the lightning on the mountaintop exploded like a heavenly tribulation. He himself practices lightning magic."

"No, no, the enforcement team has investigated thoroughly. There were signs of a struggle inside the house, the roof was blown off, and the Qiankun bag is missing. It's definitely not a case of demonic possession."

"Good heavens! Who on earth did that?"

"I don't know, anyway, the enforcement team searched all night but didn't find a single thing."

"Tsk, well done. Wang Hu set up a trap to fool many outer disciples, and now he's caught in it himself."

……

Upon hearing this, Cao Wang grinned, let out a wicked laugh, and walked out of the cafeteria.

In short, there are no clues.

No one would suspect him at all.

The power unleashed by the Thunderclap Talisman last night was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As an outer disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he simply cannot justify this logic in terms of strength.

Who would believe that a mere Qi Refining Stage 5 kid could cause such a commotion?

but……

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

As soon as Cao Wang stepped out of the cafeteria, he was stopped by two law enforcement disciples.

"You're Cao Wang?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Cao Wang blinked, looking confused.

"take away."

Without saying a word, the disciples grabbed his arms from both sides.

"Huh? No, what are you doing? What have I done wrong this time?!"

Cao Wang shouted twice, but the other party ignored him and took him directly into the law enforcement hall.

In the interrogation room.

Cao Wang sat on the iron chair, looking at the face opposite him, and his heart skipped a beat.

This man was none other than the law enforcement captain whom Wang Hu had set up yesterday.

"I said."

Cao Wang adopted an impatient tone.

"Is this never going to end? You arrested me and interrogated me yesterday. What did the Grand Elder tell you? You're not even giving the Grand Elder any face?"

Where were you last night?

The captain asked coldly.

"I'm sleeping in my own room."

"Who can prove it?"

"If I sleep alone, who will vouch for me?"

Cao Wang shrugged.

"Oh right, didn't your enforcement team wake everyone up for a search in the middle of the night? If you don't believe me, go ask the person in charge that night."

The captain glanced at the disciple beside him.

The man immediately turned around and went out to inquire. He returned shortly afterward: "Senior brother, he is indeed on the logbook. He was in the courtyard last night during the investigation."

The captain remained expressionless, still showing no intention of letting Cao Wang off the hook.

"I heard you also practice thunder magic?"

"Uh... I'm just starting out, and I've only practiced one basic spell, Lightning Strike."

"Let's see one."

"here?"

"right."

Cao Wang looked around.

The wall was covered with instruments of torture, and finally the instrument landed on an iron chain.

"Lightning Strike Technique".

Cao Wang spread his five fingers.

The electricity crackled and danced between his fingers a few times before turning into an arc that struck the iron torture device.

The torture device swayed slightly.

And then... that was it.

"Pfft."

The law enforcement officer taking notes couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly turned his head away and pretended to cough.

The captain's lips twitched, and he stared at Cao Wang for a long time.

"Senior brother."

The disciple next to him lowered his voice.

"It's impossible for this kid. Although he has a grudge against Wang Hu, with this little bit of power in his lightning strike technique, even the senior sisters who have developed antibodies wouldn't be able to scratch an itch. The lightning strike last night was at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Alright, you can go now."

"However, if any further developments occur, we will contact you again to inquire."

"Okay, sure!"

……

As Cao Wangzhan stepped out of the Enforcement Hall, a smile appeared on his face.

It seems we've passed this hurdle.

Just then, Cao Wang glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw another person walking out of the door next to him.

She was about 1.5 meters tall, petite and delicate, standing by the threshold, slightly raising her head to look at him.

That movement, that silhouette.

This sight immediately made Cao Wang's heart tighten.

Qin Shuang.

The image of the girl from last night immediately flashed into Cao Wang's mind.
