The First Marquis of Daxuan

Xue Shan sat opposite Su Mu, exhausted, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he was superior to Su Mu in terms of status or strength.

But now, Su Mu only said one word, and he had to use all his strength to rush here, for fear that if he was late for a day or half a day, the Jinfeng Tower would disappear into thin air.

Even though Su Mu still looks as young as he was back then, the entire Jinfeng Tower is nothing in front of Su Mu.

And he, Xue Shan, was just an ordinary warrior in the Zhenyuan realm.

When Xue Shan looked at Su Mu, Su Mu was also looking at Xue Shan, marveling at him.

Xue Shan's face changed again. If Su Mu didn't know that the person opposite him was Xue Shan, and only looked at this face, he would never have thought that the young killer who fought side by side with him outside Wuling City that year was this person.

Apart from anything else, Xue Shan's disguise skills were indeed superb. With Su Mu's current vision, he still couldn't see any flaws.

"Commander Su, if you have any instructions, please speak up. The owner of the building has already told me that I will tell you everything I know. As long as we can cooperate, everyone in the Golden Wind Building will fully cooperate.

If it weren't for Commander Su's instructions, our host would have come in person."

Xue Shan calmed down and spoke.

"There's no need to be so serious."

Su Mu smiled and said, "I asked someone to find you. First, I want to reminisce with you, and second, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Do you know who you are now? You almost scared me to death."

Xue Shan heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "We at Jinfeng Tower are doing a no-cost business, so we are naturally in conflict with your Taiping Division. You are scaring people to death by reminiscing about the past.

I think we should just forget about each other from now on."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business. I want to ask you, are there any assassins in the world who usually use a triangular-shaped long sword?"

Su Mu asked.

"A three-diamond-shaped sword?"

Talking about business, Xue Shan sat up straight, a thoughtful look on his face, "There are a lot.

When I first entered the industry, I also used a triangular sword for a period of time.

When the triangular sword pierces a person's body, bleeding will occur continuously. When one is not strong enough, it is a sharp weapon to use it to kill people.

However, this thing is still useful against ordinary people, but its effect against warriors is much worse.

It's still effective against Body Tempering Warriors, but not so effective against Transformation Realm Warriors. Even the wounds from the three-edged sword are not much different from the damage done by ordinary swords to Transformation Realm Warriors."

"So, I stopped using it after I reached the Rebirth Realm."

Xue Shan continued, "We have quite a few assassins in the Body Tempering Realm in our Jinfeng Tower who like to use the triangular sword. If you need, I can find them all."

"No need."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "My description may not be accurate enough.

This killer is about eight feet tall, thin, and at the high level of the Jindan realm or the Huaying realm. He uses a narrow three-edged sword and wears a bronze mask on his face. "

As he spoke, he pushed a masked portrait in front of Xue Shan.

This is a picture drawn by the artist based on Shi Binbin's memories.

"In addition, this person has practiced the White Lotus Pure Land Technique."

Su Mu did not hide anything, but told all the clues he had at the moment.

"High-level Jindan realm or Huaying realm?"

Xue Shan was stunned, and said with his mouth wide open, "We in the Jinfeng Tower can count the number of assassins of this level on one hand.

They don't use this kind of three-edged sword.

Honestly speaking, even if we were offered more money, we at Jinfeng Tower would not assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army.

You’d be crazy to do that.”

“It’s not limited to the Golden Wind Tower.”

Su Mu said, "There are so many assassins in the world, it's impossible for every one of them to be under the control of your Jinfeng Building. It would be ok if you have heard of someone like this.

This man hit the target with one strike and fled thousands of miles away afterwards. His behavior was no different from that of a killer. We suspect that even if he is not a killer now, he must have done the work of a killer in the past.

Such a person, no matter what he does, cannot remain unknown, and someone will definitely notice his existence. "

"High-level Jindan realm or Huaying realm..."

Xue Shan began to think.

This feature of the White Lotus Pure Land Technique is actually not very useful, as the skills practiced by killers are usually difficult for outsiders to know.

As for the bronze mask, it can be made in any small shop on the roadside, and it is even more impossible to find someone to make it.

If he is really a killer, then all the characteristics he shows may be fake.

Only the level of cultivation cannot be faked.

His cultivation can only be higher, not lower.

For killers at the high-level Jindan realm or Huaying realm, this range is relatively small.

There are not many warriors at this level, and even fewer who are killers.

"If that's the case, I remember someone."

Xue Shan pondered.

"Who?"

Su Mu asked.

"Jing Ke!"

Xue Shan said in a deep voice, "Jing Ke is a part-time killer in our Jinfeng Tower. He once took several orders in Jinfeng Tower, but then there was no news.

This person is very mysterious and his strength is unfathomable."

Su Mu: "..."

He glanced at Xue Shan and thought Xue Shan was joking.

Jing Ke, that’s just his pseudonym.

"It's not Jing Ke, that has been ruled out."

Su Mu said calmly.

"There's another person."

Xue Shan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head and said, "This man is as elusive as Jing Ke.

I also heard my master mention this person when I was a child and learning martial arts.

He is a legend among killers.

As soon as he debuted, he assassinated a martial arts master in the Zhenyuan realm. In the following years, he made more than a hundred attacks without any failure, and all the victims were in the Zhenyuan realm.

The last time he took action was probably more than 20 years ago, and the person who died that time was a Jindan realm cultivator.

If he were still alive, he might have reached the high level of Jindan realm or Huaying realm.

This man is extremely daring and dares to assassinate anyone. If he dares to assassinate Liu Feibai, I believe it. "

"Who is he?"

Su Mu asked.

"do not know."

Xue Shan shook his head and said, "Like Jing Ke, his true identity is a secret, and he wears a bronze mask every time he appears.

My master once led him here. According to his description, his body shape is somewhat similar to what you described.

There aren't many assassins with such a tall stature, so we usually try to be as ordinary as possible."

Su Mu frowned. Although he had some clues, they were equivalent to nothing.

A killer who had disappeared for thirty years suddenly reappeared, and no one knew his true identity yet...

"Oh, right? This killer was always active within a 300-mile radius of the capital. We have always suspected that he might be hiding in the city and living in Daxuan Capital."

Xue Shan added.

Su Mu rubbed his brows. The capital city has a radius of 300 miles and the population within this area exceeds 100 million. Trying to find such a person is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Think about it carefully. If you can think of any clues, tell me immediately. You can also ask your master to see if he can find this person. If you can really find this person, within my ability, I can agree to one of your requests."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Xue Shan was stunned, his expression became a little complicated. Su Mu, who was once inferior to him, could now say such words in front of him.

The problem is, this condition is really damn attractive!
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his complicated emotions, Xue Shan said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, if he didn't make a move, it would be fine. But since he did, there must be some clues left behind, which cannot be hidden from our Jinfeng Tower!
I will try my best to find him!"

…………

Five hundred Shenwu soldiers stood quietly on the long street outside the Taiping Division's headquarters.

They were fully armed and their ranks were neatly arranged.

These five hundred people arrived at dawn, but they stopped when they were still ten feet away from the main gate of the Taiping Division, and then stood there without making any noise.

Although there was no action, the oppressive feeling made everyone from the Taiping Division who entered and left the main yamen feel uncomfortable.

Five hundred people is the upper limit of the number of people that the Shenwu Army can mobilize at will in the capital.

Any more would require the order of Emperor Xuan.

These five hundred people represent the attitude of the Shenwu Army.

The people of the Taiping Division will not die in vain, and neither will the people of the Shenwu Army.

In front of these five hundred Shenwu soldiers stood a burly general.

He is another general commanding the Shenwu Army.

He stood with his sword in his hand and said only one sentence after he arrived.

Either the Taiping Division hands over the murderer, or he and Liu Feibai are killed together.

At the same time as the Shenwu Army was dispatched, the other three armies of the Daxuan Imperial Guard also moved.

The Great Xuan Imperial Army is of the same blood.

The Shenwei, Shence and Shenlong armies also dispatched 500 people at the same time.

They occupied the other three directions of the Taiping Division, just like the Shenwu Army, just standing outside the Taiping Division, without taking any action or making any noise.

Even if the Taiping Division wanted to take action, it would not be able to do so for the time being.

"Liu Feibai's death completely disrupted our rhythm."

The chief official, Dongfang Liuyun, sat next to Su Mu and sighed.

“Originally, the Taiping Division’s revenge, even if it didn’t catch the murderer, at least it could deter the villains.

Otherwise, without the two Infant Transformation Commanders, the prestige of the Taiping Division would surely decline again.

But now there is trouble. After the Imperial Guards made such a fuss, the major families all have an excuse. They are afraid that they will be wrongly killed if they cooperate with the investigation, so they all started to resist.

In just the past few days, there have been several conflicts.”

Although the Taiping Division was prepared for a massacre, those aristocratic families were no pushovers, especially once the Imperial Guards intervened, they received powerful support.

Now that several marquises are away, it is difficult to suppress the overall situation with only an old man who is half a step away from fusion.

"The old man personally killed a Nascent Soul that jumped out, and finally managed to stabilize the situation temporarily."

Shi Binbin said, "But until the murderer of Liu Feibai is found, the imperial guards will not stop.

I'm afraid the capital will remain in chaos for some time.

It’s a pity that the marquises are tied up with other things now and can’t come back for a while.

That’s why the old man asked you to leave the capital first.”

"I?"

Su Mu was a little stunned, "Why should I avoid it?"

He is just a small commander, and there are at least dozens of people above him in the general office.

He was just following orders to search a street, and no matter how you look at it, this whole thing has nothing to do with him.

"You're in bad luck."

Shi Binbin sighed and said, "It was you who captured Liu Feibai, and you were the only one nearby who was capable of killing Liu Feibai."

"So the Shenwu Army suspects me of being the murderer?"

Su Mu was so angry that he laughed.

"They didn't say it directly."

Shi Binbin said, "But the Shenwu Army is full of brainless rich second-generations, it's hard to say what they will do.

I asked you to leave the capital first just in case."

"Where do they want me to go?"

Su Mu frowned.

"Jingzhou."

Shi Binbin said that he came here mainly to inform Su Mu of this new appointment.

"Jingzhou Commander."

Shi Binbin said, "Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, and I will all go with you to Jingzhou to take up our posts."

"Are you going too?"

Su Mu said with some surprise.

Shi Binbin's cultivation is not low, and his family has a strong background. He has a bright future in the capital, so there is no need for him to take the risk of going to Jingzhou.

"Liu Feibai died in front of me, so I have to stay out of the spotlight."

Shi Binbin sighed and said, "Although we are not afraid of them, there is no need to cause trouble for ourselves.

It's a good time to go out and relax. When I come back, I will definitely be in the Jindan stage."

Su Mu showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Jingzhou.

Wuling City is in Jingzhou. The general office asked him to go to Jingzhou to serve as the commander, which can be regarded as a glorious return home.

It just so happened that he was originally planning to return to Wuling City to propose marriage.

Now what a coincidence.

"It's a coincidence."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "Xue Shan just sent me a message saying that a few months ago, someone saw a body that died from the three-edged sword in Daxing Mountain.

Jingzhou is close to Daxing Mountain. We can continue to track down the murderer when we go to Jingzhou."

"Come to think of it, my father also suspected that Madam Yuan's City of Divine Weapons was hidden in the Daxing Mountains, but he just had no evidence."

Shi Binbin said, "You said, if we go to Jingzhou and find Madam Yuan, it will be considered as solving a big problem for the General Office, right?"

"The murderer has been active near the capital. Do you think there will be any clues in the Daxing Mountains thousands of miles away?"

Su Mu laughed dumbly and said, "Besides, the person who killed Liu Feibai might be the same person who killed the two Infant Commanders. Do you think that even if we really find him, we have the ability to kill him?"

"We found a clue, so of course we need to call someone, we have someone higher up!"

Shi Binbin said confidently.

"When did the department tell us to take up our new post?"

Su Mu smiled and stopped worrying about this issue. Since he was asked to go to Jingzhou, then let him go.

Anyway, it is not his turn to make decisions on matters in the capital.

"Leave immediately."

Shi Binbin also put away his distracting thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Before you leave, my father wants to see you. He has something to give you."

"Have you got something for me?"

"Didn't you give me the Xuanbing Buliuxing? Buliuxing saved my life, and my father wanted to show his appreciation in a small way."

Shi Binbin said casually, "You don't have to be polite to him, my father is rich." (End of this chapter)
