On the 16th of August, the festive atmosphere had not yet left, and many of the disciples of the True Martial Arts Sect had arranged to enjoy the moon together again this evening.
However, the sudden news has raised the tension in the True Martial Arts Sect.
Ning Wuming, the Sheriff God of Department Six, had died.
His death was silent and did not arouse anyone’s alarm. It was only when Department Six constables entered Ning’s room to look for him because he had not appeared for a long time that they found the Sheriff God dead in his room.
After confirming this, Department Six directed their suspicion towards the True Martial Sect. To be precise, it was the head of the True Martial Arts Sect – Qing Yu.
The reason is that some of the Department Six constables had heard from the Sheriff God himself yesterday that the strength of Qing Yu, the head of the True Martial Sect, was close to that of Pei Dongliu, the head of the Imperial Forbidden Army.
If he was the “best in the world”, it would have been possible for him to kill Sheriff God Ning Wuming without a sound.
Thus, a dispute was rapidly festering.
“Oh? Ning Wuming is dead? Well, he has a decisive mind.”
Qing Yu, who was studying the Heavenly Crystal with Xuan Zhen in the Taiji Hall, heard this news and said with some surprise.
“It seems that emotions haven’t completely lost him yet, to think of this ploy to trap me.”
“You mean ——” Xuan Zhen also reacted, “Ning Wuming is committing suicide to pull you down.”
“Suicide doesn’t get me to bury him, Ning Wuming is just trying to find an excuse for Da Qian, and he’s still alive and well.”
The Ten Directions of the Destroyer appeared in Qing Yu’s hand, the trigram swam and a bit of starlight appeared in the air, flying towards the southwest.
Qing Yu waved his hand to extinguish the starlight and said, “Look, the mark I made on him last night is still there, he is still alive. To let a Tong Shen realm powerhouse commit suicide and die just to find an excuse, even the most stupid person wouldn’t do that.”
“He’s playing with fire!” Xuan Zhen said with murderous intent.
It was playing with fire, if the news of Ning Wuming’s fake death was exposed, those Jianghu forces would favor Ji Chengtian’s Hou Qian even if they didn’t unite to fight against the Great Qian.
Those who are in charge of a power understand the principle of “cold lips and cold teeth”. They may not have the guts to confront the Great Qian, but that doesn’t stop them from finding a safer place to settle down.
No one wanted to be approached one day with an excuse, or the kind that wouldn’t stop them from dying.
“In the end, it’s a Tong Shen realm warrior, even if it’s somewhat disregarding the greater good, could the Great Qian Dynasty still kill Ning Wuming?” Qing Yu said indifferently, “Besides, Ning Wuming is also like father and son to the previous Shou Shen, and has a period of master and disciple relationship with Pei Dongliu, even if he is defeated, he will not die, at most, he will lose the position of Shou Shen.
Even if he loses his position, he will not die, but will at most lose his position. The position of Sheriff God will probably return to the previous Sheriff God who is still in seclusion to heal. If he doesn’t lose out, only Daqian and us will lose out.”
In fact, if Daqian could destroy the True Martial Sect, it would not be a loss. The premise was that Great Qian could destroy the True Martial Sect.
“What should we do?” Xuan Zhen asked Qing Yu.
“We should just wait for someone to come from Daqian. Otherwise, it is not possible to say that one day the Great Qian will treat us as a soft persimmon again.” Qing Yu said calmly.
Long Hu Mountain was still in the territory of Da Qian, and it was incompatible with the Palace of the Underworld, so why didn’t Da Qian find an excuse to dislike Long Hu Mountain?
In the end, it was because Mount Longhu had the strongest person, but the True Martial Sect did not.
And Qing Yu is planning to show Great Qian that the True Martial Sect may not have the strongest person, but dealing with the True Martial Sect will cost more than dealing with Mount Longhu.
“And Ning Wuming ——”
A cold light flashed in Qing Yu’s eyes, “Since you’ve become a dead man, don’t get up.”
————————
“Miso–”
The sound of swords rang out as if in one’s ears, only to see a pillar of heavenly energy rushing up from each of the seven True Martial peaks, and seven huge divine swords slowly taking shape in the sky at the top of the peaks.
The True Martial Seven Tribulations Formation, opened.
At the beginning, in order to make Xuanfa lose the True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation as a killer weapon, Qing Yu lost some means and destroyed most of the seven jade seals that controlled the formation, but now that the True Martial Sect was in Qing Yu’s hands, the True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation was naturally repaired.
“The Great Formation is open, and the True Martial Gate, or should I say Qing Yu, he is ready to meet the battle.”
On a mountain peak slightly away from the True Martial Sect, two figures looked at the pillars of Qi and divine swords rising from a towering mountain peak in the distance, and one of the figures murmured.
“That body in disguise, no problem?” The figure asked the man next to him.
“Please don’t worry, Lord Sheriff God, I am in the business of disguise and disguise, so as long as the corpse is not directly examined, there will be no accident.”
This man’s name was “Yang Tu”, and his ancestor was a famous demon with a thousand faces in the jianghu province. He was a thousand-faced demon who could remove a person’s face and fuse it with his own skin, so that he could be said to be identical to a real person.
Later, the Thousand-Faced Demon was captured by Department Six and had no choice but to defect to Department Six and act as a secret agent. This is how the Thousand-Faced Demon Technique was pa*sed down in Department Six.
This time, the corpse of Ning Wuming was a real effort.
The entire human skin was lifted from Ning Wuming’s body, fused with a person of similar stature and then killed. As long as the corpse was not examined, even the divine thoughts of the Tong Shen realm could not easily penetrate the skin of a Tong Shen realm powerhouse and observe the details inside.
To be honest, if Ning Wuming was not a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, a normal person would have died long ago if he lifted off the human skin alive. However, for the Tong Shen realm, doing so was not a small injury, but it was completely within acceptable limits. After a night and a morning of recuperation, Ning Wuming’s skin had regenerated and even his hair was as dark and shiny as before.
It was the newborn skin that looked a little tender, with a sort of blown-out look.
“Well,” Ning Wuming nodded gently, “after this matter, you can retire from the dark constabulary, and either act as a bright constable in the future, or just go and be a rich family man.”
“Thank you, Your Excellency.” Yang Tu clasped his fist and thanked him.
The dirty work in the secret police force could sometimes drive people crazy, especially Yang Tu, who practised the Thousand Faces Demon Technique, was under a lot of pressure himself, and he did not want to really become crazy.
To be honest, Yang Tu was now a bit afraid to even be a constable. He had seen Ning Wuming’s eyes calmly lift off his own skin with his own eyes, and that calmness revealed a look of terror that Yang Tu feared he would never forget in his lifetime.
What prompted Ning Wuming to act in such a manner was none other than another scroll of transmission from Lingzhou.
On it, Leng Fan Tu said that he had found a small forest that had been burned by fire, which might be the last place where Qin Xihai and the Four Gentlemen had been. Because Leng Mad Tu had personally searched for half a day, he found some fragments, some ——
The fragments of silk gloves.
