Outside the cave.

"Girl, come here, I have something to ask you."

"Your colleague possesses such strength, why have I never heard of him before?"

While waiting, Gu Ruhai called Su Qing over to ask.

He was not only curious about Chu Sheng's identity, but also wanted to figure out if Chu Sheng had any background.

If he had no background, then it would be fine.

But if he did have a background…

Then this woman couldn't be kept.

Gu Changge was from their Gu family. Chu Sheng died by his hand, and it was hard to guarantee that the person behind him wouldn't take their anger out on the Gu family.

Su Qing had no background and couldn't afford to offend the Gu family, so she could only answer honestly.

"He only joined our Jingwu Bureau yesterday."

"I don't know anything else, just that his background is significant."

"Oh?" Gu Ruhai's eyes sharpened. "Significant background? How does it compare to our Gu family?"

"Uh… I only know that he could summon our director with a single phone call. I don't know the specifics of his background."

Hearing this, Gu Ruhai fell silent.

Jingwu Bureau Director Lu Huaimin was a peak True Essence Realm expert.

If Chu Sheng had a connection with him, then this woman couldn't be kept either.

Anyway, this was Min family territory, and they could just shift the blame to them later.

Gu Ruhai narrowed his eyes and was about to make a move.

But then he heard Su Qing continue, "However, I've never seen anyone this powerful. Perhaps he came from Zhongzhou…"

"Oh?"

Gu Changhai felt the need to broaden this young girl's horizons, shaking his head and chuckling softly.

"I admit that with his Qi Sea Realm triple cultivation, he possesses strength comparable to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm. That is indeed impressive, but my son Changge is not inferior to him in any way. What does this have to do with Zhongzhou?"

"Patriarch Gu, you might not know this, but he personally killed Min Yue outside just now."

As the words fell, the expressions of everyone in the Gu family froze.

Especially Gu Ruhai. After a brief moment of shock, he shot up.

"Nonsense! Min Yue is a dual-stage True Essence Realm cultivator. How could he possibly kill Min Yue?! Did he perhaps have some high-level treasure on him?"

"No, just two slashes and a few punches. I wasn't the only one who saw it; many people outside witnessed it."

Seeing that Su Qing didn't seem to be lying, and that she had no reason to lie, Gu Ruhai instantly turned his gaze towards the cave.

If he could kill a dual-stage True Essence Realm cultivator, then Changge…

Just then, everyone heard footsteps coming from inside the cave.

Gu Ruhai shouted anxiously, "Changge, Changge, are you alright!?"

"Nothing major."

Chu Sheng crawled out of the cave, dragging the corpse of Gu Changge, who had been split in half.

After flinging the corpse towards the group.

"It seems he's a bit dead."

!!!

Gu Ruhai's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Beast! I… I…"

As he roared, Gu Ruhai's voice gradually grew smaller.

His intelligence finally kicked in.

This young man could even kill Min Yue.

He himself was in the same realm as Min Yue, and even his strength was inferior to Min Yue's.

Could he win?

Highly unlikely. Even giving it his all, he might not be able to defeat him.

"See, you're getting agitated again."

Chu Sheng walked closer and explained, "It's not like I wanted to kill him. It's just that he dared to attack me, so what could I do? I could only defend myself."

"Don't think this matter is over. Changge's revenge, I…"

Gu Ruhai's words were cut short.

With a crisp "snap."

Chu Sheng slapped him away.

The people around were stunned.

"Am I giving you too much face?! First you call me trash, then an animal, and then you bring up Changge's revenge?"

"Who the hell do you think you are to threaten me!?"

"If it weren't for the fact that your son died, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

"But now, you've insulted a Jingwu Bureau enforcer twice and made verbal threats. Hey, you! Go grab him for me. We'll lock him up for three months when we get back to the Jingwu Bureau as a warning to others!"

"Hey, you!?"

Su Qing looked left and right, then realized Chu Sheng was calling her.

He still didn't remember her name?

A sense of inexplicable frustration welled up in Su Qing's heart.

"You dare!?"

Gu Ruhai stood up indignantly, glaring at Su Qing.

However, he was inwardly contemplating what had just happened.

The aura Chu Sheng displayed when he acted was clearly the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm!!!

Damn it, he had been hiding his strength all along!

The second level of the True Essence Realm might not even be his limit!

"Holy crap..."

Chu Sheng walked up to Su Qing and patted her shoulder.

"Go on, grab him for me. I want to see if he dares to resist arrest."

Then, he looked at the Gu family members, baring his white teeth with a smile.

"Let me educate you."

"If you resist arrest, I have the right to kill you on the spot."

Su Qing looked nervous and conflicted.

Just as she was about to speak, Chu Sheng glared her back into silence.

Looking at the chilling smile on Chu Sheng's face.

Su Qing hardened her resolve and slowly approached Gu Ruhai.

"Patriarch Gu, please cooperate."

Gu Ruhai's face turned crimson, as if it were dripping blood, but in the end, he lowered his head and chose to submit.

Seeing Gu Ruhai pinned down by Su Qing.

The Gu family members beside him had tears in their eyes.

Watching their patriarch being so humiliated.

It was even more unbearable than killing them.

"I can't take it anymore!!!" Gu Fang roared.

Chu Sheng thought he had found a bonus, but he didn't expect Gu Fang to just run away after shouting.

[Controlled a criminal who insulted and threatened an enforcer]

[Justice Points +500]

Seeing the Gu family members looking at him as if they wanted to devour him.

Chu Sheng let out a cold snort.

"I don't like the way you're looking at me."

"If you continue to stare at me like that, I will consider it a provocation and a charge of troublemaking, which is illegal!"

"This is your first warning."

"On the second, I will resort to force!"

Hearing this, the Gu family members were instantly stunned, and their gazes became clearer.

In Chu Sheng's opinion, their behavior was very foolish.

It was only because he was kind and held justice in his heart.

If it were someone else, like his former self who committed many evil deeds.

In this situation, he would probably have killed them all directly.

A bunch of brainless fools.

This was a high-level martial world, and this was the Abyssal Depths where laws were not enforced.

Do you ants dare to look at me, a powerful being, with hatred? Are you tired of living?!

By doing this, I've taught them a lesson. Perhaps it will save their lives in the future.

I'm truly too kind...

On the way to the elevator.

The Gu Family members, including Gu Ruhai, were resentful, but no one dared to show it anymore.

Afterward, they remembered the matter of Min Yue's death.

Min Yue was from the Min Family, and moreover, she was the younger sister of the Min Family Patriarch, Min Xiong.

The Min Family would not let this matter go so easily.

They might be on their way here right now.

Min Xiong is at the fourth level of the True Essence Realm. That brat is going to be in trouble then...

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
