It is getting dark and dusk has arrived.
In a bamboo house less than half a mile outside the True Martial Gate, the corpse of Ning Wuming is still lying quietly on a bamboo chair, seemingly just taking a nap.
The death of the Sheriff God was a matter of great importance, so no one dared to dispose of Ning’s corpse easily, but waited for someone sent by Emperor Qian to deal with it personally.
Many of the constables wandered around outside in a bit of a daze, looking at the seven towering peaks not far away with hatred and loathing.
Ning Wuming had presided over the affairs of Department Six for many years, and had already a*sisted the previous Sheriff God in major matters back when he was still a flawless divine constable. With his intelligence, he was able to use some of his tactics to keep the constables of Department Six in line with him, and he was able to keep the constables of Department Six in line with him.
This was also the biggest reason why Ning Wuming was able to take over the position of Sheriff God in peace.
”Quite loyal.”
Qing Yu ignored those constables outside and walked straight towards the bamboo house. And those constables also completely ignored Qing Yu, letting him walk by.
There was even a constable who walked towards Qing Yu head-on, but completely unconsciously avoided him as he approached.
Like a non-existent ghost, Qing Yu drifted into the bamboo house.
There was no visible wound on the corpse of “Ning Wuming”, except for a sword mark through the heart, with a faint aura of yin and yang still remaining.
This sword mark was the biggest reason why the Department Six constables believed that Qing Yu was the murderer.
“A clumsy and straightforward means of frame-up, as well as ——”
Qing Yu looked at the body in front of him that was no different from the one he saw last night, “What a ruthless and determined mind.”
I say the means is clumsy because this graft of Yin and Yang is a little too obvious. But again, it was the most direct graft, because Ning Wuming happened to have an enemy nearby who was skilled in the ways of Yin and Yang.
I say he was ruthless and determined because Qing Yu could see something strange about this corpse.
In fact, Qing Yu’s original intention was not to check out the corpse, but to go forward to find Ning Wuming, who had faked his death, by sensing the imprint left behind before.
However, Qing Yu did not expect that Ning Wuming had peeled off his own skin and fused it with the rest of his body. Although he had failed to detect the imprint, he had left most of it on his human skin.
”To have used such a tactic, fortunately Ning Wuming’s real body still had some residual imprints.” Qing Yu said secretly in his heart.
————————
It was still on the mountain peak where the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts could be seen from a distance, only now a third figure had appeared here.
“Ning Wuming,” in a low voice that was shockingly angry and also intensely powerful, Pei Dongliu stared at this Sheriff God of Department Six and slowly said, “You should know what you have done!”
“Wuming knows,” Ning Wuming bowed calmly, “Wuming just did what he felt was necessary.”
“There are rumours that Qing Yu was once the Imperial Supervisor of the Northern Zhou and had a very close relationship with the Zhou Emperor Feng Jiuyu, and there are even rumours that Qing Yu was responsible for the Zhou Emperor’s ascension to the throne. And it was also because of him that the Northern Zhou and the Hou Qian rebels were able to guard each other and pose a great threat to the Great Qian’s world.”
“A few months ago, Qing Yu even went to Lingzhou and formed the Taiping Society with the Hao Qi Alliance and the Lian Family, recruiting countless small sects and forces, as well as many casual cultivators. Among them, there were also some experts.”
In terms of strength, small sects and casual cultivators are naturally far less powerful than those large sects and families that have been pa*sed down for thousands of years or even thousands of years, but due to their huge population base, many potential dragons appear every time there is a great world.
Due to its position, the Taiping Society is naturally very attractive to these small and casual cultivators and forces. As a result, the Peace Society has grown rapidly.
“With Northern Zhou in the south, Ling Zhou in the north, and the True Martial Sect located not far from Central Zhou, Sect Leader Pei, isn’t this like an arrow through the Great Qian?”
Ning Wuming said with a grave expression, “There should be many knowledgeable people in the dynasty who see the threatening power of Qing Yu, but just because of his status they have been unable to make up their minds. Since this is the reason, Wu Ming will help them make up their minds.”
“Instructor Pei, you have come in person, it seems that what Wu Ming is doing is just what the Gongyang princes want.”
“To be precise, it is more to the liking of the old emperor,” Pei Dongliu said with a faint smile, “Great Qian has been in power for three hundred years, and there are still some corrupt spots, with the rebellious party that a*sisted King Shunping in the front and those old and decrepit people in the back. But with talents like you, the Great Qian will naturally survive this bout of pain.”
“Thank you, old emperor, for your support.” Ning Wuming said in a respectful voice.
At this point, he sort of settled down. Previously, Ning Wuming had been prepared to go back and act as a tool of the Tong Shen realm, but only when he thought that he would not be able to besiege Qing Yu personally in the future, he still wanted to take a chance and see if he could keep the position of Catcher God.
After all, although the True Martial Sect could be destroyed, Qing Yu was able to escape. Ning Wuming did not want to guard the rear and let Qing Yu run free.
Now it seems that he has won. The fact that the court had sent Pei Dongliu here was a sign of determination, but with just one Pei Dongliu ——
“Instructor Pei,” Ning Wuming said somewhat hesitantly, “according to Wuming’s previous observation, Qing Yu may have already gone to the peak under the strongest, as if ——”
“As if it is not weaker than Pei is it?” Pei Dongliu laughed.
He patted Ning Wuming’s shoulder and said, “This person, Qing Yu, is indeed a genius, and for him to be able to refine so quickly to such a point, Pei mou had expected it. But ——”
His eyes flashed with a humongous light in a flash, Pei Dongliu’s entire person was filled with a reigning style, “Realm does not represent strength, when Pei mou challenged the old emperor back then, he had not fought timidly because of the realm difference. Now that I have to be afraid to face a junior with a similar realm difference, what qualifications does Pei have to be called the ‘King of Combat’!”
Back then, when he went to challenge Mu Cansheng, Pei Dongliu did not know Mu Cansheng’s identity. At that time, he had no regard for life or death at all. Now, if he shrank back in the face of Qing Yu, he should really go back and wait for death.
“You said that Qing Yu was close to being able to force Pei, but have you ever really seen Pei’s strength?” Pei Dongliu smiled confidently.
When Ning Wuming thought about it, it seemed to be true. Although Pei Dongliu’s reputation over the years was a little ironic, he was indeed worthy of the name. For so many years, he had never exerted his full strength.
This was true when he was at Tai Zhen Palace, and it was also true when he was teaching Ning Wuming.
The number one in the world was truly worthy of the name.
“Wuming, you are a little out of proportion now that your mind is blocked and lost. Although this incident was well done, it was ultimately a bit reckless. But it doesn’t matter, Pei and you are also considered master and disciple, so it is still possible to eradicate your heart block.”
Pei Dongliu’s body emitted a golden battle aura, and his monstrous battle intent caused Yang Tu behind Ning Wuming to retreat.
“Destroy the True Martial Sect and kill Qing Yu. Let the world know that Great Qian, is still the same Great Qian.”
The golden figure instantly disappeared from sight, shooting straight at the seven peaks that still radiated light on the dusk.
