One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 182 Chapter 181: Pacification Division
There are cumulus clouds in all directions in the sky, like mountains of clouds surrounding the stars in the middle.

Looking up at the sky from the direction of Longqi Town, it is like a hole in the sky, revealing the scene outside, with stars dotted around, hazy and continuous, mysteriously scattered in rows and arrays.

There was silence in Longqi Town because it was already night and all the lights were on.

The three people who entered Longqi Town were from the Zhenfu Division.

The Zhenfu Division is an army of monks directly under the current emperor, with the power to investigate, arrest, and torture all lawbreakers.

The emperor was furious when the prince was killed and ordered the Pacification Office to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

There are five yamen in the Zhenfu Division: catching criminals, catching monsters, exorcising demons, detecting anomalies, and pacifying the people.

To enter these government offices, no matter your background, as long as you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you can enter. If you have made contributions, you will be rewarded, and there will be no shortage of resources for cultivation.

Therefore, it attracted many independent practitioners to come in, and here, the cultivation techniques are easy to obtain.

Gan Jingchen had the cultivation level of Purple Mansion and belonged to the Criminal Investigation Office, with the rank of Captain. He already had a team of more than ten people under him. However, this time the prince was killed and the order from above came urgently, so he only had time to recruit three people and hurriedly chased after them.

The reason why only three people could be gathered in time was very simple. After all, they were all cultivators and did not live together normally. They all had their own places of practice. They came to eat this meal, not to sell themselves to the government.

Whenever we do something, we need a process of convening.

He had sent messages to everyone else, and everyone should be on their way to catch up by now.

However, among the two people summoned, there was one named Bu Suanzi, who was good at divination and raised a magical fruit-rewarding bird. It was very magical and made many great contributions to his team.

Another one was named Ximending, who was once a well-known swordsman in the martial arts world. He had no aptitude for cultivation, but he didn't believe it. He went back and forth in the martial arts world, and finally, with the sword in his hand, he cut open his own path of cultivation.

Gan Jingchen is very optimistic about him. Although he is not good at magic, the sword he has held for more than 30 years has become spiritual in him. He has also learned the method of sword sacrifice. The sword in his hand is not only extremely sharp, but can also kill ghosts and gods.

Gan Jingchen was originally the leader of a small sect, but after the sect was robbed by thugs, he was the only one who survived. He joined the Pacification Division, and one of his goals was to find the group of people who robbed his sect that year.

He knew that many people were usually safe and sound, seemingly honest monks, but at a certain moment, they would gather together and turn into bandits.

But after all these years, he still hasn't found it.

At this moment, he was calculating the strength of both sides in his mind. He felt that except for the old man in front of him who looked a little mysterious, the two women were no match for Ximending at all.

Simon Ding was a man of strong determination. He never differentiated between the beauty and ugliness of men and women, so he felt relieved.

As for Bu Suanzi, he is only at the foundation-building stage and is not good at direct combat, but he is someone who can help him. As long as he is given time to set up the altar ceremony, even a Purple Mansion cultivator will be in great danger.

"Xi Men, kill those two first, then come to help me. Bu Suanzi, stay away." Gan Jingchen assigned the tasks.

Chunyu Yan and Huang Miaohua were very anxious. They felt clearly that the leader on the opposite side must be Zifu. Although they also knew that Che Chixing was also Zifu, he was a Zifu with a short lifespan. His Qi and blood had already declined. If they were to fight, if they were not killed, their magic power would be drained because of the spellcasting, and in the end, they would not be able to control the remaining Qi and blood and would die quickly.

But when they faced the man named Simon, they felt as if there was an invisible edge pressing in front of them, like a cold wind blowing in their faces, which was really terrifying.

"We are disciples of Miaotou Cave in Guye Mountain. We have nothing to do with what you are talking about." Chunyu Yan quickly revealed her identity. She did not want to be involved in this inexplicable vendetta.

"You were also in Panshe Mountain at that time. Tell me, who else was here? Who did you meet that day? Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

Gan Jingchen asked forcefully. The two sisters did not hide their tracks in the mountains, so it was not difficult for them to be found.

Huang Miaohua, however, had a little more awe for her sister's divination, because her sister said that when she met Zhao Fuyun, she predicted that he would be in great danger, so she quickly avoided him. Unexpectedly, after avoiding him at that time, she met him again here, and Zhao Fuyun ran away one step ahead. The two sisters did not leave, and the disaster that should have fallen on him fell on them instead.

She regretted not leaving when Zhao Fuyun left.

She only hoped that the reputation of Guye Mountain would make the other party hesitate.

"Gushan Mountain is not within the territory of our Great Zhou, but in the Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun. Yet you came to our Great Zhou and appeared in Panshe Mountain. I am more suspicious that you are involved in the death of the prince." Gan Jingchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the sisters. He felt that he could capture them and bring them back for strict interrogation. Even if he did not catch the real murderer, he could still pin a crime on them, and at least he could get his job done.

As for whether he would offend Guye Mountain, he didn't care. This was the advantage of being under a big tree. He just had to do his job and the Zhenfu Division would take care of the trouble.

Of course, he also knew that if he really ran into some big trouble, he would be handed over. For example, if he had a conflict with the disciples of Tiandu Mountain on the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it would be best to settle the matter peacefully.

Tiandu Mountain destroyed the Lan family of King Zhennan in Guangyuan Prefecture, and the court did not say a word.

What kind of deal did the imperial court have with Tiandu Mountain? Even the chief officer of the Zhenfu Division was very secretive. He felt that he might not know much about it. Guye Mountain was also a big mountain, but it was not in the territory of Da Zhou, but in a semi-hostile country, so he was not afraid. Everything was backed up by the superiors of the Zhenfu Division.

Chunyu Yan felt that he might have said too much. The mountain gate was not able to intimidate the other party, so everything could only be decided by magic.

This is how the world of cultivation works. When logic doesn't make sense, the level of one's skill will be revealed.

Chunyu Yan reached into his sleeve and a small yellow flag appeared in his hand.

The small flag seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. It was the Michen Flag. She took her sister around to find the cave with a strong concentration of earthly evil, hoping to refine her Michen Flag into a magic weapon.

In the other hand, a sword appeared in Huang Miaohua's hand. The sword could also be said to be a dagger. There was light flickering on the sword. It was a flying sword.

The method she used in the fight was a sword technique called "Liangyi Beheading Sword Technique", and she also had a sword hidden in her sleeve, ready to strike.

The fortune teller had already retreated. He knew very well what Gan Jingchen wanted him to do. For him, setting up an altar in the back and casting spells was not difficult and was also safe. He had often done so before, but this time there was no one to protect him.

Of course, there were only three people on the other side, so he didn't feel he needed protection.

He began to gather soil into an altar, and directly took the sand from the ground and kneaded it into a human being. He repeatedly captured the breath of the void, kneaded it into the earthen man, and silently chanted a spell.

"Qiang!"

Ximending's sword was unsheathed, and a dazzling sword light flashed, cutting through the darkness.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, it had already stabbed towards Chunyu Yan. The distance of about two meters was reached in just one step.

Chunyu Yan raised the Michen Banner in her hand, and a cloud of dust rose up, which turned around with her body, and she disappeared on the spot.

This was the Earth Escape Technique, and he performed it with incredible skill. With the help of the Michen Banner, he could escape almost at the mere thought of it.

Ximending's sword cut through the dust. He felt the sword miss, but a ray of sword light flew down from the side.

The sword shone brightly in the darkness, slashing in an arc, aiming at his own neck.

He is also a man who has been experienced in the martial arts world. When he was young, he fought sword fights with ordinary people. He has used one sword to fight against all kinds of weapons, no matter if they were knives, spears, swords, sticks, axes, chisels, hooks, hairpins, hammers, maces, whips, darts, etc. Each weapon was wielded in different ways because of its different shape and weight.

And the feeling when the sword in my hand touches it is also different after entering the world of cultivation.

He discovered that everyone's magic power and spells were like weapons.

Some people have tremendous magical powers, and the spells they cast are also powerful, but they are often slow. In this case, you cannot take the attack head-on. You need to dodge and move around, look for opportunities, use the fast to defeat the slow, and take advantage of the gaps in the opponent's magic power and spells to attack, and you can often win the battle.

If someone has hidden magical powers and uses lingering spells, then you need to be cautious, figure out the opponent's moves, and then attack fiercely to disrupt his rhythm.

He transferred his experience to fighting, and he won more than he lost. Even when he lost, he did not lose his life because he always formed a small team of several people.

Now, as soon as he saw Huang Miaohua's sword slashing, he knew that the other party must have practiced a high-level sword technique.

The sword light was brilliant, yet concentrated and undispersed.

The sword in his hand was pointed towards the flying sword light, but as soon as the sword in his hand touched the sword light, the sword light began to spin out. This was a superb sword-controlling skill, which could remove the opponent's resistance and still do what he had to do.

For example, beheading Ximending.

Huang Miaohua is always outspoken, but his skills are extraordinary.

However, at this moment, she found that her sword was out of control. She saw the opponent's sword spinning, drawing circles, and encircling her sword in it. The opponent's sword was like a magnet, tightly adsorbing her sword and encircling her sword in the sword light.

Huang Miaohua's heart tightened, and when the other sword in his sleeve was about to fly out, a cloud of dust flew up and went towards Ximen Dingli.

Gan Jingchen, who was watching this scene on the other side, was a little surprised. He was surprised that the magic spells of these two female practitioners were so superb.

However, he had confidence in Ximending because he knew that Ximending's real killer move had not yet been used.

Moreover, the longer the time goes, the more complete the preparations on Bu Suanzi's side will be.
