Chapter 3 Aftermath
After leaving Walan Village, the two walked for more than an hour. It was getting dark, but fortunately they were on the official road with carriages passing by. So Zhou Ping waved his hand and stopped a carriage entering the city.

"Uncle Zhou, why did you come to our Valan Village?"

In the carriage, Jiang Jue and Zhou Ping sat opposite each other and couldn't help but ask.

Even though Zhou Ping told Jiang Jue many times to just call him by his full name, Jiang Jue still insisted on calling him Uncle Zhou.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it’s just because Jiang Jue has a clear understanding of his own positioning.

Although he is extremely talented now, he is just a soul master who has not obtained a soul ring.

There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, but only geniuses who grow up can be called strong, while geniuses who fall halfway can only be called dead.

Jiang is definitely not without pride, but the prerequisite is that he has absolute strength to support it.

And although Zhou Ping told Jiang Jue to call him by his full name, his body was extremely honest and he kept saying "Hey" every time.

It's always better to say something nice, and you won't lose anything anyway.

"This is a long story..."

When Zhou Ping heard Jiang Jue's question, his eyes became a little erratic and he looked quite guilty.

But he paused, and still used his soul power to seal the interior of the car to prevent the sound from leaking out, and slowly said: "I didn't go to your Valan Village on purpose, it was an accident."

"In our Holy Spirit Church, we will assign soul masters like us who have neither very high nor low cultivation to the three original empires to find and dig out some seedlings for awakening evil martial souls."

"This time I went to the countryside to look for it as usual, but on the way back, it suddenly rained heavily. I was anxious to return to the city, so I activated my martial spirit and ran wildly."

"Who knew I would run into a great soul master? He probably saw my martial spirit and recognized me as an evil soul master."

Zhou Ping said with some confusion: "I was in a hurry to get on with my journey and ignored him. I wanted to let him go, but he not only didn't run away, but he even followed me obscenely."

"Because his martial spirit is a lone wolf, his sense of smell and speed are not bad, so I was unable to get rid of him in time. In order to avoid being exposed, I had to turn around and kill him."

"After I killed him, I found a letter of entrustment on him for awakening his martial spirit. It said your village, Valan, was not far away, so I went to your village."

"Then he..."

Jiang Jue frowned and was about to say something, but Zhou Ping beat him to it.

"Young friend Jiang Jue, you have to understand that this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If I don't kill him, I might be exposed, and I will be the one to die in the end."

Zhou Ping thought that Jiang Jue felt that such a bloody act as killing was cruel, so he spoke quickly.

"Uncle Zhou, you misunderstood me. What I want to ask is whether the body of the soul master has been dealt with? Is there any possibility that it will implicate the Valan Village?"

Jiang Jue shook his head slightly and asked calmly.

"Huh? What did you say?"

After Zhou Ping heard Jiang Jue's words, his brain suddenly froze, but he reacted immediately.

Oh no, I have become a soft-hearted person!

"After I killed it, I threw it on the surrounding mountains, as if..."

"Uncle Zhou, I don't want this matter to involve the Valan Village. You should know what I mean."

Jiang Jue said slowly, looking at Zhou Ping with a dim gaze.

Zhou Ping looked at Jiang Jue. Although Jiang Jue's words did not express much emotion, he had a feeling that he wanted to obey.

"Don't worry, I will handle it well and will not leave any hidden dangers."

"Uncle Zhou, I believe you..."

For a moment, the car became quiet.

Zhou Ping took the initiative to open the window of the carriage and laughed dryly: "The wind is really noisy, haha..."

However, there was no breeze outside.

……

Soon, the sky had completely darkened, and Jiang Jue and Zhou Ping also arrived at Pingyuan City. "Come, this is our Holy Spirit Church's base in Pingyuan City."

Zhou Ping took Jiang Jue into a courtyard in the suburbs.

Jiang Jue walked into the courtyard and felt that everything was normal and there was nothing strange.

After Zhou Ping brought Jiang Jue into a clean room, prepared food, and told him to stay there.

Afterwards, he went to another room next door and delivered information to the Holy Spirit Church headquarters through a special method.

According to Zhou Ping, they are now in the Tianhun Empire, and the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is in the Sun and Moon Empire, so they must cross the border of the Tianhun Empire.

However, the inspection at the border is very strict, and his strength is not enough to guarantee Jiang Jue's safety, so he prepares to report to the headquarters to mobilize people.

In the tidy room, Jiang Jue, who had been tired all day, ate some dried soul beast meat, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

Too many things happened on this day, and even though he had lived two lives, it was still a bit too much for him to bear.

……

The next day, the sun rose three poles.

Jiang Jue woke up slowly from his sleep. The sunlight shone through the window onto his face, bringing a hint of warmth and brightness. He had slept so comfortably.

Then he stood up and walked out of the room into the yard. The cool breeze gently brushed his face, bringing the fresh breath of the morning.

He walked to the water tank in the yard, scooped up a bucket of cold water, and gently splashed it on his face to wake himself up completely.

But Zhou Ping was not in the hospital.

Then he returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and circulated his soul power a little.

When he used the Soul Refining Banner, the soul power in his body turned deathly gray and emitted an evil aura. When he used his martial soul, the soul power in his body turned into bright silver and was extremely domineering.

Jiang Jue quietly circulated the soul power in his body, clearing the meridians throughout his body and nourishing it carefully.

It was not until noon that he stopped practicing.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound, and the gate of the courtyard slowly opened, and a figure walked in from outside.

This person was Zhou Ping. He looked pale, his eyes were red, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was breathing heavily.

Jiang Jue walked out of the house and saw Zhou Ping like this. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing?"

"Friend Jiang, I have already humanely disposed of that person's body. I will ensure that no one will find it."

"And after my investigation, I found that Li Yuntao usually keeps to himself and doesn't have much contact with others. With a little effort on my part, I can completely eliminate this hidden danger."

Hearing Zhou Ping's words, Jiang Jue's eyes changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Uncle Zhou, you have worked hard."

Apparently, Zhou Ping didn't sleep all night, ran back to the place where the body was dumped, and investigated everything about Li Yuntao.

"You are too polite, my friend Jiang. I caused this in the first place, so I should be the one to handle it."

Zhou Ping said quickly.

"I will first solve this hidden danger thoroughly. Jiang Xiaoyou can just stay here without any worries. The headquarters has also sent a strong man over, and they will take you to the headquarters soon."

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his face and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhou Ping's departing back, Jiang Jue took a deep look at him and sighed in his heart, this man is actually very smart.

Zhou Ping walked out of the door, his breathless and weak appearance changed, and the corners of his mouth rose.

It was easy for him, a Soul Sect master, to run back to the place where the body was dumped overnight. As for why he acted like that in front of Jiang Jue just now.

That was naturally because he wanted Jiang Jue to remember his contribution and help him after he became the Holy Son of the Church.

There's no way, he wants to improve so much!
