"Killed a level 9 creature, experience +841!"

[Life Level: 10 (614/1000)]

From the moment Fang Lieyun tenaciously clung to him, pursuing relentlessly and displaying a physical strength not much inferior to his own, he knew he couldn't defeat Fang Lieyun.

This was a top-tier Martial Master even stronger than Han Shan, the Sword Tasting Hall's curator.

With his strength, even after his life level had been enhanced to level 9, he was, at best, only on par with Han Shan.

The difference in their Martial Arts techniques and combat experience was simply too vast.

Relying on these advantages, Han Shan could easily bridge the gap created by a one-level advantage in physical strength.

If the older Han Shan was already this formidable, let alone Fang Lieyun, the Garrison Department's number one expert, who was at the peak of his life.

Facing this Martial Master, the only tactic he could use to turn the tables was a life-for-life exchange.

And it had to be a precisely calculated life-for-life exchange that maximized his advantage in reaction speed.

Therefore, he used his enhanced memory to reconstruct the scene of the street he had just sprinted through, and quickly devised a tactic.

A tactic that Fang Lieyun could win, but the ultimate victor would only be him.

In the end, he survived.

Fang Lieyun died.

Li ChunJun stood up.

He glanced in the direction of the Jin Family.

Next, he just had to wait for the Jin Family's greatest pillar of support—Jin Zhiya—to return.

Unwilling to return?

That's fine.

He would continue to kill.

Jin Guangming was dead, but Jin Guangming wasn't born from a rock.

Although the Jin Family line wasn't thriving, there were still dozens of people.

He would kill them one family at a time until Jin Zhiya couldn't sit still any longer.

If she really hid in the Red Sun Sword Sect and refused to come out...

Once his strength met the requirements, he could also go to the Red Sun Sword Sect!

A burst of clamorous shouts came from afar.

Considering he didn't know if those people had guns, he didn't engage them.

Instead, he took Fang Lieyun's gun, grabbed a few magazines, and left the scene.

Less than half a minute after he left, a group of six people hurried over.

Each of these six was an elite with accomplished Inner Strength.

Placed in the local Garrison Department, they would all be ace-level figures.

However, they were willing to follow Fang Lieyun, acting as ordinary members of his execution team.

Moreover...

Compared to civilian Martial Artists, each of them was proficient in marksmanship. In terms of lethality, ordinary Harmony Realm Martial Masters might not be able to compare with them.

Unfortunately, when they actually arrived, all they saw was Fang Lieyun's corpse.

An hour later.

A vehicle heavily guarded by four cars in front and behind drove into the Jin Family Courtyard.

As the door opened, an old man in his sixties, usually only seen on television, appeared in the courtyard.

Chang Hong, the Guangzhou City Council Speaker.

A true apex existence in Guangzhou.

A figure with extraordinary influence.

In the entire Guangzhou, let alone a Garrison Department Director like Mo Lei, even the Guangzhou City Mayor was appointed by the Guangzhou City Council led by him.

At this time, many people were already waiting in the courtyard.

Without exception, these people were all at the top level of Guangzhou City.

People like President Song of Star Gathering Media from before didn't even have the qualifications to enter this courtyard.

Even Huang Shang, the Deputy Director of the Garrison Department, was a minor figure running errands in front of these truly important people.

"Speaker."

He hurriedly came to the old man and greeted him, "I'm very sorry to disturb you... This is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of our Garrison Department..."

Chang Hong didn't even look at him, but went to a corpse.

Not Fang Lieyun, nor Mo Lei.

It was the owner of this courtyard, Jin Guangming.

Behind him, a man responsible for protecting his safety came to Fang Lieyun's corpse and examined it.

"So... what exactly is the background of this Li ChunJun?"

Chang Hong said, "Don't tell me he's just an ordinary person. Can an ordinary person have this kind of strength!? I want to know who is standing behind him, what forces! I want all of this investigated thoroughly!"

"Yes, we have already sent people to investigate."

The Public Security Department Director said quickly.

"Where are the Jin Family members?"

Chang Hong asked.

"They've gone into hiding. Currently, besides Jin Guangming, there's also Jin Guanghua in the Jin Family, Jin Guangming's younger brother. I'll have him brought over immediately," the Public Security Department director said.

At this moment, his guard, after examining Fang Lieyun's body, came to his side: "He wasn't ambushed using the advantage of firearms like they did with Han Shan, but was killed in a head-on confrontation."

"Head-on confrontation?"

Chang Hong's gaze fell on him: "I remember you saying that Fang Lieyun was the only expert worth mentioning from the outside world, and his strength was no less than yours? And you... you're preparing to break through to the Innate Realm, right? Such a Martial Master was killed in a head-on fight?"

"Yes."

"Innate? A Body Refining cultivator?"

Chang Hong's expression turned slightly grave.

"Not Innate, nor a Body Refining cultivator."

The guard pondered for a moment: "According to the survivors' descriptions, he should be exceptionally talented, but his strength must have reached the Harmony Realm."

"Exceptionally talented..."

Chang Hong pondered, not speaking.

"Sending the Public Security Department and Garrison Department to deal with such a powerhouse is just sending them to their deaths. In reality, ordinary people facing a powerful Martial Master really only have death as an option. Otherwise, the Jin Family's losses today wouldn't have been so great," the guard said.

He had seen the videos and pictures.

He had to say, the Jin Family and the guests attending the funeral were too reckless.

Knowing that a top Martial Master was coming to their door, they didn't scatter immediately, but instead thought of capturing him?

What did they take a Harmony Realm Martial Master for?

Someone who could be overwhelmed by numbers?

Overwhelmed, yes, they could be overwhelmed to death.

But the problem was, how could a rabble have such combat will and combat discipline?

Wasn't this courting death?

As the guard spoke, he looked at Chang Hong: "Speaker, I suggest transferring this matter to the military."

"The military!"

In the Da Shang Kingdom, governed by the Red Sun Sword Sect, the military and government were separate.

The military had always been in the hands of the Red Sun Sword Sect.

The real controller of the Guangzhou City military wasn't the city garrison commander, but a deacon of the Red Sun Sword Sect.

And he...

He himself was not a cultivator.

However, his eldest son, Chang Sheng, was a disciple of the Red Sun Sword Sect.

Moreover, he was a formal disciple who had entered the Red Sun Sword Sect after passing two assessments.

It was precisely because he had such a son that he was able to sit firmly on the throne of the Guangzhou City Council Speaker, and had been doing so for ten years.

Over the past ten years, Guangzhou City had been well-organized under his governance, and no major incidents had occurred.

Every assessment was excellent.

But if he contacted the military because of the Jin Family matter and let the army intervene...

It would undoubtedly make people suspect his level of governance.

After pondering for a moment, he said directly, "This matter, in the final analysis, was caused by the Jin Family. Let the Jin Family resolve it themselves. If they really can't resolve it, then we'll think of other methods."

"The Jin Family?"

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly said, "Are you referring to... Jin Zhiya?"

"Let the Jin Family people notify her."

Chang Hong said.

"She... if I remember correctly, she should be preparing for her second assessment recently?"

"The Jin Family caused the trouble, if she doesn't resolve it herself, who will?"

Chang Hong waved his hand.

He had heard his son say that this Jin Zhiya was very ambitious.

Any Spirit Root talent from Guangzhou City could only listen to his son's orders. If they didn't obey, there were plenty of ways to teach her a lesson.

"That's it then."

As the Speaker said this, he quickly arrived at a simple venue to meet with wealthy and powerful figures, promising them that Guangzhou City was still safe and orderly.

And that he would definitely bring the murderer to justice.
