Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 172: The Great Demon of the Spiritual Sea Realm, the Cloud-Stepping Black Panther
A disciple came forward and glanced around, frowning and said, "Brother, now the bodies have been burned, we have no idea who was killed and how many people died."

"It would be difficult to continue the investigation like this."

"Brother Liu, what should we do now?"

“Hehehe,” Liu Xingchen placed the finger bones in his hand on the hand of his junior brother behind him, patted his shoulder, narrowed his eyes, smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, among the disciples who died in my Taiming Tianzong, there has never been a case where we couldn’t identify the real culprit.”

The junior brother looked at the finger bone on his hand blankly. He didn't react for a moment to what this grayish-white thing was. He weighed it and said thoughtfully, "Senior brother, do you want to apply for the use of the Four-Direction Locking Universe Mirror?"

The Qiankun Mirror, which locks in all directions, is a very important treasure of the Taiming Tianzong, and is especially important to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The so-called four-direction locking Qiankun mirror, as the name suggests, can naturally lock the location at any time, and can find out what happened in a certain place and time, and can trace back to a maximum of thirty days ago.

However, the range of this treasure is limited. According to the current territory of Taiming Tianzong, it can only cover half of Taiming Tianzong at most.

It just so happens that areas like those where outer and inner disciples often engage in fighting and clashes are covered by the Qiankun Mirror all year round.

"No, there is no need to use this treasure now. I naturally have other ways to find this evil guy."

Liu Xingchen shook his head and snorted coldly, "Junior brother, do you know that the steward of the All Affairs Hall who is in charge of the outer disciples' housing affairs has come to you, and his attitude must be very strict."

Liu Xingchen looked at his junior fellow apprentice with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Understood." The junior brother clasped his hands together and immediately took the order and left.

Although he didn't know why Senior Brother Liu asked him to be stricter, he just did as he was told. The Law Enforcement Hall itself had a strict image in the eyes of outsiders.

The junior fellow disciple took the order and left in a hurry, leaving Liu Xingchen standing there, wondering what he was thinking about.

Not long after, the junior fellow apprentice came hurriedly with a young woman.

The junior brother walked up to Liu Xingchen and said softly, "Senior brother, the people are here."

Liu Xingchen glanced at the female deacon and said expressionlessly, "Liu Xingchen from the Law Enforcement Hall, what is your name?"

"I..." The young woman didn't know why the Law Enforcement Hall came to her, but she was not scared. She frowned and said, "The deacon of the All Affairs Hall, Sun Lan."

She looked at Liu Xingchen with trepidation. Although Sun Lan was proud of herself for having some background, she had lived in Taiming Tianzong for many years and knew clearly the status of the Law Enforcement Hall in Taiming Tianzong.

Those people in the Law Enforcement Hall are a bunch of ruthless guys.

It costs both money and life.

"Very good, hello, Junior Sister Sun." Liu Xingchen saw that Sun Lan looked anxious, and said politely, "I asked you to come because you arranged the accommodation for the disciples in District 7."

"Today, a murder case just happened here, and it can be identified that the body has been burned."

"In order to better track down the murderer, we need to know who lives in this yard. Can you introduce them to me?"

Looking at the gentle face of Liu Xingchen, Sun Lan's uneasy heart calmed down a little.

"Originally, there were only three people living in this courtyard. Later, another disciple came today, and I arranged him here," Sun Lan said directly without thinking too much.

But soon, she reacted.

Someone died here. Could it be the disciple she arranged to live here today?

Shi He's face suddenly appeared in Sun Lan's mind.

Thinking that Shi He was killed quickly as soon as he arrived today, and even his body was burned to ashes, Sun Lan suddenly panicked. She originally wanted to make this guy suffer a little, but she never expected that he would be killed as soon as he arrived.

If this gets out, I'm afraid that Sun Lan will be accused of maliciously arranging accommodation and provoking disciples to fight each other.

Thinking of this, Sun Lan quickly explained: "I didn't think so much at that time. I just suddenly remembered that there was an empty room in this yard, and the environment here is better, so I arranged it here. Who knows."

Sun Lan stammered and couldn't continue.

Liu Xingchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Lan's panicked face. He had doubts in his mind, but there was no change on his face. He still smiled and said, "Very good, you don't need to think so much. You just need to tell me the identities of these four people, especially the new disciple who just came today."

In fact, after hearing this, Liu Xingchen already had a rough idea in his mind.

Most of what happened today was related to the new disciple who just joined the sect.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why everything has been fine here without any accidents, but why something happened immediately after you, a newcomer, arrived?
Sun Lan calmed down and whispered, "The original three people here are Yan Baisong, Wang Ai, and Zhou Ziheng. Among them, Yan Baisong can be regarded as a good player in the seventh district, with the strength of the second level of Yuandan Realm. Wang Ai and Zhou Ziheng also have the strength of the late Yuye Realm."

"As for the newcomer who just joined the sect today, his name is Shi He. As for his realm, he is probably at the Jade Liquid Realm or True Qi Realm. I didn't see it clearly."

Sun Lan lowered her head, and she suddenly realized where her weakness was.

For every deacon of the Zhushi Hall, the most important thing is to understand the realm of the new disciples and arrange accommodation according to their strength.

But she didn't know Shi He's strength, so she arranged him here. Isn't this obviously bullying the new disciple?
Sun Lan became deeply worried.

Looking at Sun Lan's appearance at this moment, not only Liu Xingchen noticed it, but even his fellow apprentice beside him noticed that there was something obviously wrong with this guy.

He looked at Liu Xingchen with admiration. No wonder his senior brother asked him to be stricter. It turned out that senior brother Liu had already guessed that there was something wrong with this guy.

"Sun Lan, whether it is the Jade Liquid Realm or the True Qi Realm, don't you know as a deacon of the Zhushi Hall?" The junior brother looked at Sun Lan and shouted angrily.

Sun Lan's body trembled.

Liu Xingchen said calmly: "Junior brother, go check who brought this Shi He in. Did he come here on his own, or was he dragged in by one of the inner sect brothers? You must find out."

"Brother Liu, what do you mean?"

The law enforcement fellow was stunned for a moment, he understood what was meant.

But just because he heard it, he felt it was incredible.

Can a new disciple who has just joined the sect be so powerful?

Liu Xingchen's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, there are not just one body burned here, but at least three." "Combined with the three you mentioned, it is very likely that the dead person may not necessarily be Shi He."

No matter how dumb Sun Lan was, she understood it now. But she did not relax because of this, instead she became even more panicked.

His mind once again recalled the scenes of his previous contact with Shi He, and every scene was playing back and forth in his mind. No matter how he looked at the other party's tone, attitude, and momentum, it was obvious that he was not like those of a new disciple who had just entered the sect.

Instead, they are like those hunters who have killed countless people.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so ferocious. As soon as he entered the sect, he killed his fellow brothers at will, without taking the sect's rules into consideration at all.

He was able to kill three people instantly without waking up the others, including a warrior at the second level of Yuan Dan Realm.
Doesn't this mean that the other party's strength is at least in the late Yuandan realm, and he is very likely to be a Zifu realm warrior.

If by some chance the other party knew my identity and location and came to my house in the middle of the night, wouldn't I be in trouble?
To put it another way, even if the other party didn't kill him, with his strength, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become an inner disciple. What's more, he could even become one of the top five peaks.

The inner disciples of the top five peaks are not people you can afford to offend.

Sun Lan's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

She looked at the disciple of the Law Enforcement Peak in front of her, and hope rekindled in her heart. She stared at Liu Xingchen closely, as if she was looking at a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "As soon as the other party came in, he slaughtered his fellow disciples and dared to destroy the bodies after killing them. Such cruel behavior is no different from that of a demon."

"This is clearly a provocation to the authority of the Law Enforcement Hall, and it is treating the Law Enforcement Hall as nothing."

"If we don't punish them severely, everyone in our Taiming Tianzong will be in danger. If this goes on for a long time, people will be in panic."

Sun Lan looked at Liu Xingchen with a pleading look, her eyes full of hope, hoping to hear words from Liu Xingchen that would satisfy her.

But she was soon disappointed.

Liu Xingchen did not feel much disgust towards the audacious Shi He. Instead, he became more interested in him because of his decisiveness in killing.

With such a character when he just entered the inner gate, coupled with such strength and realm, it is no surprise that he will become an inner gate disciple, or even a disciple of the five major peaks.

Going further, it is possible that Shi He could become his direct junior fellow apprentice.

Once he joins the inner sect, I am afraid that he will cause a lot of trouble.
By then, there will be more excitement to watch in Taiming Tianzong.

Yes, that’s right, Liu Xingchen, who seems mature and steady, actually also likes to watch the fun.

Considering these points, Liu Xingchen cannot impose severe punishment on Shi He as Sun Lan said. What's more, he does not have the right to do so.

According to the sect's rules, although Shi He killed several people with great force and burned their bodies, his behavior was extremely cruel, but strictly speaking, Taiming Tianzong was not a decent sect, and there were many people in the sect who were even more cruel than him.

Liu Xingchen glanced at Sun Lan and said calmly, "How to sentence someone naturally has the sect's rules. You should think carefully about your own mistakes first."

He saw through Sun Lan's little thoughts at a glance, but didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

In Liu Xingchen's opinion, if you have the ability to arrange and cause this matter, you must be able to bear the consequences.

This is the unchanging principle of the entire Taiming Tianzong.

It is also the principle to ensure that Taiming Tianzong's strategy of raising Gu can be implemented.

"Huh," Liu Xingchen slowly exhaled and said calmly, "We can't be sure that it was this guy who did it. These are just our guesses. Besides, there is no actual proof that it was Shi He who did it."

"If you want him to admit it, you need solid evidence. Otherwise, I'm afraid this guy won't admit it so easily."

Liu Xingchen frowned. From Shi He's actions, it was obvious that this guy was not a good person and was not easy to deal with.

If there is not enough direct evidence, I am afraid it will be impossible to confirm that it was this guy who did it.

"We still have to apply to lock the Qiankun Mirror from all directions," Liu Xingchen frowned, then he looked at his junior brother beside him and asked, "The most urgent task now is to capture Shi He and bring him back to our sect. Junior brother, can you go and check the Zhushi Hall first to see if there is any news about this guy?"

The junior brother looked strange, but still said: "I have already investigated. This Shi He has taken on a mission not long ago. There are five other people accompanying him to the Ziyun Mountains."

"Purple Cloud Mountains, what is this guy doing there?" Liu Xingchen frowned slightly and turned to look at his junior brother: "How long is the total time limit for that mission?"

"Half a month." The junior brother said in a deep voice.

"In that case, send the order to the identity token in Shi He's hand. He has been identified as a suspect and is ordered to return to the sect's law enforcement hall within 20 days. If he passes this deadline, all the punishments he should receive will be doubled."

Liu Xingchen said lightly.

"clear."

Currently, there is not enough evidence to prove that it was Shi He who did it. Before the investigation of the Qiankun Mirror from all directions came out, Shi He was still an ordinary outer disciple and was qualified to carry out his mission.

I can't just send someone to arrest him.

Therefore, Liu Xingchen simply gave Shi He twenty days. These twenty days were enough for them to find enough evidence to prove that it was Shi He who did it.

And within these twenty days, Shi He has completed his mission.

Ziyun Mountains.

At this time, Shi He was holding the blood ghost sword in his hand and walking slowly in the dense forest.

A roar was heard, Shi He's ears moved, and he quickly turned his head. The long sword in his hand was already revealed, firmly locking onto a bush on the left.

There were light footsteps and the sound of dead branches being stepped on. The bushes parted to the sides, and a black panther with a body as black as ink and almost the size of a cow slowly walked towards them.

The black panther was pitch black all over and had a huge body, but what caught his attention most was that the fur on its four calves was all snow-white, and it looked like it was walking on a piece of white cloud.

"It's actually the Cloud-Walking Black Panther," Shi He looked at the black panther slowly approaching, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

The Cloud-Stepping Black Panther is a very rare monster among the leopard monsters. Adult Cloud-Stepping Black Panthers often have the strength of the Spiritual Sea Realm. They also have extreme speed. Even if they encounter a warrior of the same realm, even if they cannot defeat it, they can often escape quickly with their speed and strange body movements.
