Chapter 143 Wei Tieniu's Remnant Soul
Seeing this damaged heavy shield, Zhao Guanshan felt a little complicated.

In fact, he had known for a long time that the residual soul of Wei Tieniu might be hidden in this heavy shield, just like the residual soul of Qi Huanzhang was hidden in his broadsword.

But he was too busy these past two days, with so many things weighing on his shoulders that he didn't even have time to say hello to Yang Mao, let alone think about Wei Tieniu's remaining soul.

Now is the time to end it.

He took the broken heavy shield and placed it on the operating table. Just as he was about to disassemble it, Xiao Chengyun stopped him and said, "Don't disassemble it yet. Use the visualization method to visualize a scene where you and Wei Tieniu had met before. There is a great chance that you can visualize the residual soul left by Wei Tieniu. This will be more complete. In addition, you can also gain some experience in controlling weapons he left behind. Brother, let me tell you, this is a rare realization. I would never tell this to an ordinary person."

"Of course, not everyone can do this kind of visualization. For example, Su Hai and Li Chun also have residual souls attached to the psychic weapons they held before they died. But it is best not to try to contact them. They are too extreme. The residual souls will be like evil spirits. It would be bad if they backfired. The best way is to dispel them directly."

"it is good!"

Zhao Guanshan nodded, closed his eyes, and touched the heavy shield with his hand. At the same time, the scene of his first meeting with Wei Tieniu emerged in his mind. At that time, he was worried about his first bucket of gold, hiding in the corner of the street, looking for someone to do business with, but Wei Tieniu was too fierce, so he finally chose Qin Jian...

Thoughts flow, naturally.

Zhao Guanshan successfully visualized that environment very easily, and even restored the details to a high degree. This was because his mental power was even stronger. In a sense, he was even more powerful than the third-level nightmare demon.

If he wanted to, he could even make any ordinary person, even some martial arts apprentices, fall into an illusion and be unable to escape.

"You came!"

Wei Tieniu's voice suddenly rang out. In this quiet and deserted street corner, the original Wei Tieniu should have appeared, but now he had turned into Wei Tieniu with blood flowing, his body broken, and even his head covered by black air.

His remaining soul appeared.

But no one knew whether it was because Zhao Guanshan's mental power was too strong now, or because the method he used was better, so the residual soul of Wei Tieniu at this time was more complete than Qi Huanzhang's residual soul, and his consciousness was also clearer.

"I'm so sorry. If we had arrived a little earlier, maybe you wouldn't have to die."

Zhao Guanshan spoke calmly.

What he said was true, but the bigger fact was that if Wei Tieniu had not broken through first, they would have had no chance of locking onto that seventh-level evil demon.

"It has nothing to do with you. I was already injured at that time, and I had been through several battles. More than half of my spiritual weapons were used up, otherwise a seventh-level demon would not have been able to kill me."

"So you really shouldn't have gotten off the bus and risked your life for someone else."

"Haha, sometimes people always make stupid mistakes. My brother Qin Jian thinks highly of you, but that also led to your forced conscription. I saved you once, so we're even, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Wei Tieniu's residual soul continued, "I have an old lover. She is the owner of the ninth shop on that street from the north. So, if you have the chance to return to Linjiang Prefecture in the future, please tell her that I am sorry."

"Of course, I'm not a pushover like Qin Jian. If you had tried to sell it to me, I would have probably kicked you in the face."

"Also, if you have the chance to meet the Qi Refiner named Xiao Chengyun, you can also convey my apologies to her and tell her that if possible, it is better to stay away from Su Hai, Li Chun and their gang. Alas, since the death of Qi Laozhan, the 12th Squad has become even more chaotic."

"Okay, I'll convey it. However, Su Hai is dead, as is Li Chun. Except for Xiao Chengyun, all the members of your 12th team are dead. Basically, I killed them."

"They're all dead. Did you kill them? Hahaha!"

Wei Tieniu's remaining soul laughed loudly, feeling extremely happy!
"Thank you for telling me this news. Now I can die without regrets."

"If I have the chance to meet your family, I will help take care of them for you," Zhao Guanshan said again.

"Hehe, thank you very much. I forgot to tell you that I married Qin Jian's wife, as well as some other people's wives. I now have five wives and six children. I hope you can keep your promise and marry them all home..."

Wei Tieniu's remaining soul laughed loudly, and his entire body slowly dissipated like smoke and dust, no longer existing.

But at this moment, the heavy shield suddenly trembled slightly, and a ball of light directly penetrated into Zhao Guanshan's visualization world from reality. It was Wei Tieniu's experience in controlling the heavy shield.

Zhao Guanshan did not realize it, and left it in the visualization world, like a ball of starlight floating, and then he exited the visualization.

Because now is not the time to comprehend, it will consume a lot of mental energy. After the realization is successful, he will have to sleep for at least half a day.

Also, even though he is a Qi Refiner, he should try to specialize in one or two types of psychic weapons. His broadsword and longsword, two psychic weapons, still need further refinement.

"Brother, you saw the residual soul of Wei Tieniu. What did you realize?" Xiao Chengyun asked expectantly. This made Zhao Guanshan deeply suspicious that she was the one who instigated him to test the waters. Whose black-hearted little sister is this?

"Yes, he entrusted his five wives and six children to me, and he also wants to apologize to you."

"Wow! I told you, he trusts you a lot. This indirectly proves my judgment of people. Senior brother, I will follow you from now on!"

Xiao Chengyun was very excited, as if he had finally let down his guard. But Zhao Guanshan was speechless. Damn, this little girl was too cunning.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Sun Ze shouting outside: "Master Military Supervisor, Brother Zhao, someone from the Demon Suppression Division is here."

"go!"

Zhao Guanshan didn't bother to care about Xiao Chengyun's little thoughts. He rushed out quickly and when he reached the city wall, he saw a first-level Imperial Seal chariot pulling a rail train loaded with supplies slowly coming from the direction of the Imperial Seal Great Wall.

The kind that looks very honest at first glance.

Because on the left and right, there were two imperial chariots escorting them, which were not equipped with psychic heavy crossbows but were still arrogant and domineering.

However, these two imperially-sealed chariots belong to Zhao Guanshan.

"Yesterday's events must have alarmed the top brass of the Chief Administrative Office and the Demon Suppression Office. An elite frontline team was wiped out, and both sides engaged in a firefight. According to the rules, both the Chief Administrative Office and the Demon Suppression Office will send people to investigate the matter. But don't worry, brother. As long as I'm here, they won't be able to confuse right and wrong."

Xiao Chengyun spoke viciously and fiercely at this time.

She was a Qi-refining practitioner registered at the Taoist Palace, and had once been the military supervisor of the 12th Squad. She was an eyewitness to the entire incident, so with her around, there was really nothing to worry about.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the city gate. First, a team of forty people jumped off the chariot nervously and formed two shield formations. Then two people got off. The first thing they saw was the city wall that was obviously destroyed by the psychic heavy crossbow. They could not hide the shock in their eyes. After all, this was the first time such a terrible incident had occurred.

"Excuse me, where is Liu Yuwei, the acting commander of the Second Development Camp?"

One of them shouted loudly and looked at Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun on the top of the city wall, obviously hesitant.

"and who are you?"

Xiao Chengyun's crisp voice sounded, but Zhao Guanshan did not speak, because in terms of rank, the military supervisor and Qi-refiner was the most qualified to speak.

"I am Li Hu, the marching captain of the 9th Brigade of the Northern Camp of the Demon Suppression Department. This is Huang Yun, the special envoy appointed by the Third Chief of the Provincial Administration Department. I have come here to investigate the fight yesterday. May I ask if you are Xiao Chengyun, the Qigong Master of the 12th Squadron of the Shanhai Camp?"

"My name is Xiao Chengyun, but I am no longer the supervisor of the 12th Squad. Now, I am the supervisor of the Second Development Camp of the Provincial Administration. Commander Liu was injured yesterday, and he has entrusted me with full responsibility for this matter. If you two want to know anything, just ask me."

Xiao Chengyun spoke calmly, and took all the responsibility on her, which immediately made Li Hu and Huang Yun feel quite difficult.

"Excuse me, General Xiao, were you involved in the entire fight yesterday?"

"That's right!"

"And as far as I know, before the fighting yesterday, the 12th Squad had already returned to the Imperial Seal Great Wall. Why didn't they report back to the Shanhai Camp Headquarters, but instead turned back halfway?"

"Because Su Hai's command was inappropriate, he was stubborn and self-willed, and he would not tolerate other people's advice, which led to the abandonment of the Level 3 Imperial Seal Chariot. At that time, he received a commission from the Chief Secretary, so he wanted to take the opportunity to tow the abandoned Level 3 Imperial Seal Chariot back."

"May I ask what the commission is?"

"Escort the two teams of the Chief Secretary to this pioneer city and assist them in completing the handover."

"Did the commission mention the regulations for slaughtering and cleansing the Second Pioneer Camp?"

"not at all."

"Then why did the fight happen yesterday? Was it because the Second Pioneer Camp refused to accept orders, causing both sides to lose control of their emotions and fail to notice the fight?" Huang Yun, the governor's special envoy, suddenly interrupted and asked.

Xiao Chengyun glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Unfortunately, that's not the case. Yesterday, Su Hai led the way and arrived at the abandoned chariot, but found that the chariot had been towed away. He was very angry and thought that the Second Pioneer Camp had stolen his chariot. He also thought that the Second Pioneer Camp would not hand over his chariot so easily. So he suddenly decided to show his power and ordered the psychic heavy crossbows to open fire. In just a short moment, 59 people from the Second Pioneer Camp were killed or injured."

"The Second Pioneer Battalion was forced to launch a counterattack when it was attacked. It first killed Su Hai and other culprits, and then killed Li Chun and others who were resisting stubbornly. This is the truth."

"Then I would like to ask General Xiao, as the military supervisor and Qigong practitioner, what did you do during the entire fighting?" Huang Yun, the special envoy of the Governor's Office, asked again.

"What did I do? Haha! I didn't do much. I just saved Su Hai's life when the 12th team encountered an eighth-level evil demon three days ago. Because my identity as a Qi cultivator was exposed, I encountered thirty-two seventh-level evil demons and hundreds of sixth-level evil demons besieging me. I tried my best, exhausted my magic talismans and seals, and even paid the price of injury. Only then did I stabilize the situation and finally successfully bring the remaining people of the 12th team back to the Seal Great Wall."

"I wanted to return to the Taoist temple to rest, but was held hostage by Su Hai. He didn't want to be charged with abandoning the Imperial Seal Chariot, so he would rather hold me hostage and take a gamble. Really, he had already become mad at that time."

"During the entire fight, I first fell into a coma due to my severe injuries, and then was held hostage by Li Chun and others. If it weren't for Commander Liu who risked his life to save me, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

"This is the whole truth. You want an explanation, and I want an explanation too!"
