Kill Shen Ziyang, News of Zhang Tiedan!
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming, Qin Lu, Emperor Qin Zheng of the Qing Kingdom, and all the high-ranking officials of the court who were suspended in the air, suddenly realized what was going on.
They were naturally aware of the uproar over the Earth Core Fire Crystal incident five years ago.
They even suspected, like the Purple Cloud Sect, that the immortal hidden in Little Village was the young man who obtained the Earth Core Fire Crystal.
But now it seems they were wrong.
The immortal in Little Village was not that young man, but the powerful figure in the Late Golden Core before us!
With this powerful figure around, a group of Evil Cultivator Qi Refining at the Qi Refining stage couldn't possibly harm Little Village in the slightest.
Just then, Shen Ziyang, the Vice Minister of Ministry of Rites in the imperial court and a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, roared angrily.
He asked loudly:
"Since you were in Little Village at the time, why didn't you help save Wuhe County?"
With your senior's strength, saving Wuhe County would only require the flick of a finger!
Why only save one Little Village?
Did you know that five years ago, 230,000 people in Wuhe County were all tragically killed by Evil Cultivators?
My most beloved grandson went to Wuhe County for an inspection at that time!
He also died at the hands of Evil Cultivators!
Why didn't you save him?
Why!
It's all your fault!
It's all your fault!
How is your behavior any different from that of Evil Cultivator?
Shen Ziyang glared angrily and roared at Zhang Chongxian!
His eyes held a murderous intent.
That was his only grandson with talent for cultivation!
He died just like that!
"Heh." Zhang Chongxian sneered upon hearing this.
Immediately, a powerful pressure erupted from within him.
A large, crimson-gold spiritual hand gripped Shen Ziyang tightly.
Looking into his terrified eyes, Zhang Chongxian smirked.
Are you trying to teach this old man how to do things?
"What do you want! My Ancestor of the Qing Kingdom, is here! You dare to kill me?!"
"No one can save you today!"
Zhang Chongxian clenched his fist in the air, and his two large hands, imbued with spiritual energy, instantly shone with light and tightened sharply.
"No!" Qin Ming and Qin Lu cried out in alarm, but it was too late.
With a scream, Shen Ziyang's body was crushed into a twisted mess of flesh.
The magical hand dissipated, and the piece of flesh fell from the sky.
It crashed onto the streets of the Imperial City.
Seeing the enraged crowd, Zhang Chongxian remained unconcerned and looked at Qin Ming and Qin Lu.
"Fellow Daoists, why are you looking at this old man?"
Did I do something wrong?
I don't know why these people wrongly accused you of killing 230,000 people and called you Evil Cultivator.
And if they show murderous intent towards you, what would you do?
More importantly, what right does a Foundation Establishment ant have to criticize me?
With that, he took a step forward, and the powerful Sword Intent shook the entire arena.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming and Qin Lu sighed but did not refute it.
If they were in their shoes, they wouldn't have let Shen Ziyang off the hook either.
The strong should not be humiliated.
Qin Ming looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Qin Zheng, let's drop the matter of Shen Ziyang."
Send out Dark Guards to find Zhang Tiedan's whereabouts as quickly as possible!
This cause and effect will be completely resolved!
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng glanced at Zhang Chongxian and then nodded, saying:
"Yes, Ancestor!"
He was indeed the emperor of the Qing Kingdom, but he was only Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator and a descendant of the two old men before him, so naturally he had to address Ancestors.
He then led his officials back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to make arrangements.
Seeing that the problem had been resolved, the other powerful figures hovering in the air also disappeared from their original positions.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you come into the city with me for a cup of tea and await the results of the investigation?" Qin Ming invited.
Zhang Chongxian shook his head.
As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others.
Although this old man seems harmless, we shouldn't be careless because of that.
After all, he had just killed someone.
What if I enter the Imperial City with him and activate the great formation directly? Wouldn't we be doomed?
He pointed to a small mountain peak about twenty miles outside the Imperial City.
"No, I'll wait at the foot of that mountain. Once I've investigated, I'll send someone to inform you!"
With that, Zhang Chongxian disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Qin Ming was not surprised.
There was no insistence.
Looking at Qin Lu beside him, he laughed and said, "Brother Lu, I think that once Gu Yun finds Zhang Tiedan, he will definitely go and cause trouble for the Purple Cloud Sect."
What price do you think the Purple Cloud Sect will have to pay to appease this person's anger?
He had a smile on his face, a stark contrast to his previous expression.
To him, Shen Ziyang was no different from an ordinary person.
The reason he acted so furiously just now was naturally to show off to the court officials.
After all, the Qing Kingdom cannot function without these people; we cannot let them down.
Qin Lu looked at the smiling Qin Ming, flicked his long sleeves, and uttered two words:
"Childish."
Before he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
"Hey, hey, why did you leave? This is so boring."
Not long after, a mysterious Golden Core expert suddenly descended upon the Imperial City of the Qing Kingdom.
The news of the death of Shen Ziyang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Qing Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in the Qing Kingdom, the Dark Guard, an organization that monitors all officials, mobilized its entire force to investigate a boy named Zhang Tiedan.
Even major Lineage have participated in this investigation.
Three hours later.
A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator dressed in black, wearing an official hat, arrived at Zhang Chongxian's location in a panic.
Seeing this, Zhang Chongxian was resting with his eyes closed, felt a bad premonition.
In an instant, they arrived in front of the commander of the Dark Guards.
Where is Zhang Tiedan?
Sensing the sharp Sword Intent permeating the surroundings, the commander of the Dark Guards dared not hesitate for a moment and recounted all the results of his investigation:
"In response to your question, senior, according to our investigation, there are 31,000 people named Zhang Tiedan within the territory of the Qing Kingdom."
The one who best fits the description is a Rogue Cultivator.
Around twelve years old, with a Qi Refining Fourth Layer, he assassinated three outer disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect three months ago.
Then he was wanted and a bounty was offered by the outer sect, and he was used as practice material for those outer sect disciples.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the Dragon Mountain Range, they were besieged by outer disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect!
Their lives are in danger.
This is the approximate location determined by the investigation! Please take a look, senior!
Boom!
After listening to the commander of the Dark Guards ' account, Zhang Chongxian took the map from his hand and then stomped on it.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly seemed to collapse, then cracked open like a spider web!
His body appeared high in the sky in an instant, flying in the direction indicated by the map.
"Purple Cloud Sect! You're courting death!"
The fact that Zhang Tiedan was only wanted by the outer sect of the Purple Cloud Sect proves that his true identity has not been exposed.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been surrounded and killed by outer disciples alone.
They are not inner disciples, but even elders.
Simply because the Earth Core Fire Crystal is worthwhile.
This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
The commander of the Dark Guards, slumped on the ground, felt as if he had just escaped death.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
They flew swiftly towards the Imperial City.
Report this matter!
