The next morning.
The news of Warden Huang's death spread suddenly throughout the town, alarming many people. In no time, constables from the Six Doors arrived at the Huang residence.
A very experienced constable was carefully examining the bodies of Warden Huang, his brows furrowed. "These wounds seem to have been inflicted by brute force; there's no trace of true energy present!"
The young constable was shocked upon hearing this. "What! To inflict such a wound with brute force, how strong must the murderer be!"
Afterwards, the experienced constable carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and immediately discovered several bottomless holes with faint traces of blood on them. His expression immediately became very serious.
"This murderer is no ordinary person! The extent of the damage is beyond our capabilities. Let's hand this information over to the Divine Arrest Bureau!"
The young constable looked astonished. "Detective Peng! Even with your First-Rate Peak skills, you can't handle this murderer?"
Upon hearing this, Detective Peng shook his head. "Young Wu! You're still young! My strength is nothing special. Someone like him who can cause such damage so easily is doing so without even using his true energy. If he did use his true energy, the power would be unimaginable. He must be extraordinary!"
Upon hearing this, Constable Wu's expression turned solemn. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance Detective Peng! I will record these details in the records now and hand them over to the Divine Arrest Bureau!"
There is no Imperial Dynasty in Eastern Zheng Province, only various aristocratic families and sects occupying their own territories. Among them, Tianji Prefecture is the strongest. It has set up the Six Doors and the Divine Arrest Bureau, which are dedicated to investigating any murder and strange cases in Eastern Zheng Province, eliminating harm for the people, and are deeply loved by the people of Eastern Zheng Province.
Zhuge Weiwo, the strongest person in Tianji Prefecture, is one of the Five Supremes. He is a Leng Xue and righteous hero who is devoted to the people. He has four beloved disciples. Leng Xue is the strongest in terms of martial arts, and he can kill all the bandits in the sky with a long sword. Tie Shou is the second strongest, and his two arms have saved countless people.
Ruthless is extremely intelligent. She solves every case under her command. Her final Zhuiming, Life Chaser, is of the highest level. Without exception, all criminals she pursues are captured!
The four were extremely famous in Eastern Zheng Province, and all the major families and sects gave them some face. Everyone in the martial arts world called them the Four Famous Arresters!
Divine Arrest Bureau.
As expected, the records of Warden Huang ended up in the Divine Arrest Bureau. A constable from the Divine Arrest Bureau examined them and slowly said:
"The murder of Warden Huang is suspected to have been committed by a master of at least the Grandmaster level. The reason is still unknown, and no trace was left behind. Warden Huang a man who oppressed the people throughout his life and did many things to secretly coerce them. His behavior was extremely heinous, so he is classified as Class D!"
The files in the Divine Arrest Bureau are divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D! Grade A is the highest and is the case that should be handled first. Grade D is the lowest and is usually the case of a wicked person. These cases are usually left to be handled last, or not handled at all if there are many other matters to attend to!
Li Changfeng's actions left no trace, and no important figures paid attention to the case, so it was dropped and no one pursued it any further, which was equivalent to no one investigating Li Changfeng!
East River Village.
At this time, the villagers were no longer as cheerful and lively as before. Everyone was preoccupied and worried that Warden Huang's affairs would implicate them. They had no heart to go to work on the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Li Changfeng thought to himself, "Everything will be alright in a while!"
When Doctor Bai saw Li Changfeng idly standing there, a glint of shrewdness appeared in his eyes. "Kid! I heard you hoeed all the land on the mountain in one day, is that true?"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this. "That's right! It's true!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai laughed loudly and patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder. "Good lad! You're indeed not simple! I wonder if you can do me a favor? If you can, the money you owe me will be wiped clean!"
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Doctor Bai! Tell me what you think!"
After listening, Doctor Bai organized his words and slowly said, "It is like this, I want to pick an extremely precious herb, but its growing environment is extremely demanding."
"It only appears high on the mountainside, and at night, emitting bursts of purple light; it's almost impossible to find during the day! So I think, with your skills, you should be able to do it, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng agreed without hesitation. Doctor Bai was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Changfeng to agree so readily, and at the same time, he was secretly worried about Li Changfeng's safety.
"Kid! Have you thought this through? That's a hundred-foot-high mountain wall, and it's nighttime. It's extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you'll lose your life!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "It's alright! I'll pick it for you tonight. Tell me about the characteristics and appearance of this herb!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai frowned and sighed, "Forget it! I still don't trust you to go with your personality. Never mind! Never mind!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng quickly grabbed Doctor Bai and said firmly, "Doctor Bai! You have to believe me! I can definitely do it! I don't like owing people things, and now that I have the chance to repay them, I will definitely do it without hesitation!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai gave Li Changfeng a deep look. He had sensed from the beginning that Li Changfeng was no ordinary person, and the facts had proven that Li Changfeng was no ordinary person either. He thought to himself, "I have my eye on this herb. Maybe he really can find a way to get it for me. Oh well! I believe he should be fine!"
"Alright! Since you insist, I'll tell you. This herb is called Violet Glow Herb. It emits a faint purple glow at night. It's shaped like a maple leaf, which makes it easy to spot. Generally, only this herb can emit such a faint light!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Okay! I understand! I'll bring it back to you tomorrow. I'll go back and prepare now!"
Doctor Bai nodded upon hearing this, "Okay! Remember not to push yourself! Safety first!"
Li Changfeng smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Alright! Don't worry!"
That night.
Li Changfeng arrived at the foot of the mountain. He had borrowed an extremely long rope from Xiao Cui's house on the way there, with a barbed spearhead tied to the end of the rope. He planned to use it to climb the mountain.
Li Changfeng looked up at the towering mountain peak, smiled faintly, picked up the rope in his hand, swung it around a few times, and then suddenly threw it. The spearhead, thrown with terrifying force, exploded in the air with a sonic boom and slammed into the mountain wall, which was more than ten feet high.
With a sudden pull, he leaped into the air and instantly landed on a mountain wall several dozen feet high. Using this momentum, Li Changfeng threw himself up again, and after seven or eight attempts, he finally reached the top of a hundred-foot-high mountain peak.
At this moment, on the mountain wall where Li Changfeng was standing, the wind howled and the temperature plummeted, making Li Changfeng's clothes crackle and frost appear on his body, but Li Changfeng did not feel cold at all, and stood on the mountain wall as steady as Mount Tai.
Li Changfeng frowned deeply. "Logically speaking, this Violet Glow Herb should be near this mountain wall. How come I haven't seen it?"
