Outside the cave.
"Little girl, come over here. I have something to ask you."
"Your colleague possesses such strength—why had I never heard of him before?"
While they waited, Gu Ruhai called Su Qing over and questioned her.
He was not only curious about Chu Sheng's identity, but also wanted to find out whether he had any backing.
If he did not, then so be it.
But if he did have a background...
Then this woman could not be allowed to live either.
Gu Changge was a member of the Gu Family. Chu Sheng had died at his hands, and there was no guarantee that the people behind him would not take their anger out on the Gu Family.
Su Qing had no background and could not 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. I only know that his background is formidable."
"Oh?" Gu Ruhai's gaze sharpened. "Formidable? How does it compare to our Gu Family?"
"Uh... I only know that he can summon our bureau chief with a single phone call. As for his exact background, I don't know."
Gu Ruhai fell silent at those words.
Jingwu Bureau Chief Lu Huaimin was a peak True Essence Realm expert.
If Chu Sheng was connected to him, then this woman could not be spared either.
This was Min Family territory anyway. When the time came, they could simply pin it on them.
Gu Ruhai narrowed his eyes, just about to make his move.
But Su Qing continued, "Still, I've never seen anyone this powerful. Maybe he came from Central Prefecture..."
"Oh?"
Gu Ruhai felt it was necessary to broaden the little girl's horizons. Shaking his head, he chuckled.
"I admit that being at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm yet possessing strength comparable to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm is indeed impressive. But my son Changge is no weaker than him. What does that have to do with Central Prefecture?"
"Patriarch Gu, you may not know this, but he personally killed Min Yue outside just now."
The words fell.
Every member of the Gu Family froze.
Gu Ruhai in particular sprang to his feet after a brief moment of stunned disbelief.
"Nonsense! Min Yue was at the second level of the True Essence Realm. How could he possibly kill her?! Could it be that he had some high-grade treasure on him?"
"No. Just two slashes and a few punches. I wasn't the only one who saw it—many people outside did too."
Seeing that Su Qing did not seem to be lying, and that she had no reason to lie at all.
Gu Ruhai instantly turned his gaze toward the cave.
If he could kill someone at the second level of the True Essence Realm, then Changge...
Just then, everyone heard footsteps coming from inside the cave.
"Changge! Changge, are you all right?!" Gu Ruhai shouted anxiously.
"Nothing too serious."
Chu Sheng crawled out of the cave, carrying Gu Changge's corpse, which had been cleaved in two.
After tossing the corpse before everyone.
"He just seemed to be a little dead."
!!!
Gu Ruhai's expression changed drastically as he roared, "Beast! I... I..."
But as he roared, Gu Ruhai's voice gradually grew quieter.
His intelligent brain had reclaimed the high ground.
This youth could even kill Min Yue.
He was in the same realm as Min Yue, and was even weaker than her.
Could he win?
It would be difficult. Even if he went all out, he might still be unable to defeat him.
"Look at you, getting worked up again."
Chu Sheng walked over and explained, "It wasn't like I wanted to kill him. He dared attack me—what was I supposed to do? I could only defend myself."
"Don't think this matter is over just like that. Changge's death, I..."
Gu Ruhai had not finished speaking.
When a crisp slap rang out.
Chu Sheng sent him flying with a single slap.
The people around them were stunned senseless.
"Did I give you too much face or something? First you call me trash, then you call me a beast, and now you're talking about avenging Changge?"
"What the hell are you? You dare threaten me!?"
"Since your son died, I originally didn't want to hold it against you."
"But now, you've insulted a Jingwu Bureau law enforcement officer twice and added verbal threats on top of that. You there, go restrain him. Once we return to the Jingwu Bureau, lock him up for three months as a warning to others!"
You there!?
Su Qing looked left and right before realizing that Chu Sheng was calling for her.
He still did not remember her name?
An inexplicable sense of defeat welled up in Su Qing's heart.
"You dare!?"
Gu Ruhai rose angrily and glared at Su Qing.
Yet inwardly, he was pondering what had just happened.
The aura Chu Sheng had revealed when he struck just now was unmistakably at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm!!!
Damn it, he had been hiding his strength all along!
Even the second level of the True Essence Realm might not be his limit!!
"Holy shit..."
Chu Sheng walked over to Su Qing and patted her shoulder.
"Go. Restrain him for me. I want to see whether he dares resist arrest."
Then he looked at the members of the Gu Family, flashing a grin of pearly white teeth.
"Let me teach you a little law."
"If someone resists arrest, I have the right to execute them on the spot."
Su Qing looked nervous and deeply troubled.
She had just opened her mouth when Chu Sheng glared her back into silence.
Looking at the chilling smile on Chu Sheng's face.
Su Qing gritted her teeth and slowly approached Gu Ruhai.
"Patriarch Gu, please cooperate."
Gu Ruhai's face was crimson, as though blood might drip from it, but in the end, he lowered his head and chose to accept his fate.
Seeing Gu Ruhai pinned beneath Su Qing.
The eyes of the Gu Family members nearby reddened.
Watching their patriarch suffer such humiliation.
It was even more unbearable than killing them.
"I can't take this anymore!!!" Gu Fang roared.
Chu Sheng thought another windfall had arrived, but after roaring, Gu Fang simply turned and ran.
Subduing a criminal who insulted and threatened a law enforcement officer Justice Points +500
Seeing the Gu Family members glaring as though they wanted to devour him.
Chu Sheng snorted coldly.
"I don't like the way you're looking at me."
"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll take it as a provocation. Picking quarrels and stirring up trouble is against the law!"
"I am now giving you your first warning."
"The second time, I will use force!"
At those words, the Gu Family members froze, and their gazes became much clearer.
In Chu Sheng's eyes, their behavior was exceedingly stupid.
It was only because he was kind and held fast to justice in his heart.
If it had been someone else—say, the original owner's previous life, that villainous bastard.
In this situation, he would probably have slaughtered all of them outright.
A bunch of brainless fools.
This was a high-martial world, and this was the lawless Earth Abyss.
You ants dared glare at a powerhouse with hatred in your eyes? Were you tired of living too slowly!?
His actions could be considered a lesson for them. Perhaps it might even save their lives someday.
I really am too kind...
On the way to the elevator.
The Gu Family members, including Gu Ruhai, were filled with resentment, but none of them dared show it again.
Then they thought of Min Yue's death.
Min Yue was from the Min Family, and she was also the biological younger sister of Min Family Patriarch Min Xiong.
The Min Family would never let this go so easily.
Perhaps they were already on their way here.
Min Xiong was at the fourth level of the True Essence Realm. When the time came, this kid would be in trouble...
