When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 235 A Thousand Faces Caught in the Net
The rain is getting heavier.

Using his inner energy to protect himself, Zhang Jingting hurriedly passed through the rain and arrived at the edge of the cemetery, where he got into a car.

He turned on his smart bracelet in the car and dialed a number.

Before long, the light screen lit up, and a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe appeared on the screen.

"Uncle-Master, it's confirmed now. Bai Ze is not a suspect."

Zhang Jingting reported, "I suddenly made a move and tested his amazing defensive technique, 'Return to Nothingness.' It can be confirmed that although 'Return to Nothingness' can make a move disappear, it also generates a large amount of mist, which will cause extremely strong fluctuations in vital energy."

"If Bai Ze had used this move against Junior Brother Huo Heng, the Qi sensors around the Daoist Society would not have remained completely silent that night."

Luofu Mountain suspected Bai Ze because of Bai Ze's "Return to Nothingness".

If Bai Ze were to use "Return to Nothingness" to strike first, it could potentially render Huo Heng powerless to resist.

Just like in the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament, when Bai Ze dealt with Chen Yang, the guardian of the Great Seal of the Southern City.

Bai Ze used his Dharma form to unleash "Return to Nothingness," completely enveloping Chen Yang and using "Return to Nothingness" to completely dissolve Chen Yang's flesh and blood.

During this process, all of Chen Yang's resistance was neutralized and had no effect on "Return to Nothingness".

Luo Fushan did not believe the investigation results of Yujing Martial Arts University. Instead, he asked for the video recording of Yujing Martial Arts Competition and made a detailed observation. Naturally, he also saw the strangeness of Bai Ze's move.

Now that we can confirm that "Return to Nothingness" is indeed strange, it still produces strong fluctuations in Qi, then there's no problem.

The autopsy results from Yujing Martial Arts University were correct; Huo Heng most likely lost his ability to resist after being poisoned and was then killed directly.

"In addition, Bai Ze did not accept the sixth-level Golden Pill. He said that the conflict with Huo Heng was a minor matter, and that death is a serious matter, so the matter was over."

Zhang Jingting then added, "If my faction really feels bad about it, we'll help him catch Qianmian."

He then repeated what Bai Ze had said earlier, mentioning that Qianmian was still in Canghai City at the moment.

After hearing these words, the middle-aged man also showed a look of admiration, "I didn't expect that Bai Ze, who achieved success at a young age, would not be arrogant but would still have the demeanor of a gentleman. As for Qianmian, I will send someone to Canghai City to assist Yujing Martial Arts University in capturing Qianmian. By the way, how strong is Bai Ze?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingting recalled their brief encounter earlier.

"It's stronger than a four-star."

Zhang Jingting could not hide his shock as he recalled the scene of being trapped in the force field vortex.

If he hadn't already been a five-star martial artist with an extremely strong sense of space and speed, allowing him to detect the changes in the force field vortex in time and cleave it open with a single sword strike, he might have already been defeated.

“Huo Heng and Yun Shu both deserved their losses,” Zhang Jingting said.

“In that case, try to get along with him as much as possible,” the middle-aged man said. “Even if you can’t be friends, don’t be like Huo Heng was before and oppose him.”

"Yes."

After that, Zhang Jingting hung up the phone, started his car, and left the cemetery.

He drove along the mountain road toward the city.

After driving for about twenty minutes, a red light appeared ahead.

Zhang Jingting slowly brought the car to a stop, waiting for the red light to pass.

At that moment, a black sedan stopped beside them, also waiting for the red light.

On a rainy day, the sky was overcast, and the car lights were on, so that the blurry faces of the people inside could be seen through the car windows.

Zhang Jingting caught a glimpse and was startled to find that the driver of the car next to him looked similar to Bai Ze.

He immediately frowned.

Because he only saw "Bai Ze" and not the other people in the orphanage.

Then, the green light came on, but it wasn't a green light for the front; instead, it was a green light for turning right onto the road.

The car immediately turned and drove to the right.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingting immediately followed suit.

Ahead lies the road to the city center.

To the right is the road out of Canghai City. Bai Ze couldn't possibly leave Canghai City, so this person...
He wants to use Bai Ze's face to leave Canghai City.

As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, Zhang Jingting stepped on the gas and accelerated to catch up.

This idea took root in Zhang Jingting's mind, making him firmly believe it.

Disguise is the specialty of the Thousand Faces.

Finally, the sedan caught up with the car in front and passed it from the side.

boom!
The two cars collided and rubbed against each other. Zhang Jingting swerved the steering wheel sharply, causing the sedan to crash into the guardrail.

The moment the vehicle hit the guardrail, the other driver decisively abandoned the car, broke open the other side window, and emerged from it like a ghost.

Zhang Jingting caught the ghostly aura in that instant, and his mind was shaken.

Having just fought Bai Ze, he would never mistake Bai Ze's aura; such a ghostly aura could not possibly be Bai Ze's.

Furthermore, in the event of such a car accident, a normal person would not run away immediately.

The fact that someone would run away shows they are not a good person.

He decisively smashed the front window with a palm strike, leaped out, and stepped onto the hood, about to fly off the road to chase after "Bai Ze".

Unexpectedly, the opponent did not flee immediately, but instead clung to the outside of the railing like a gecko. As Zhang Jingting gave chase, a figure rose up like a ghost, clasped his hands together, and two streams of energy spiraled out from the left and right, striking towards him.

The energy was neither yin nor yang, as ethereal and uncertain as wisps of smoke, yet at its tip it displayed a strange penetrating force, its sharpness piercing directly into Zhang Jingting's inner energy, causing him to shudder.

"Crimson Clouds Slay Calamity".

In the critical moment, Zhang Jingting's body surged with crimson energy, forcibly halting his forward momentum and turning to retreat. His sword blade was entirely crimson, and with a single slash, he displayed astonishing ferocity.

The cultivation techniques of Mount Luofu prioritize purity, and Zhang Jingting's "Crimson Cloud Slaying Calamity Technique" is no exception.

Although his technique is not as good as Huo Heng's "Purple Mansion Yuan Gong", it is no less effective in killing.

Because the Crimson Glow Slaying Calamity Technique is known for its sharpness and purity, and is said to be "forged in the morning glow for thirty years, and can sever the peak of Kunlun Mountain at dusk", it is a technique that leans towards power.

With a single sword strike, Zhang Jingting shattered the spiraling, sharp energy, stabilized his retreat, and the tip of his longsword transformed into a point of brilliance, shooting towards "Bai Ze's" throat like a meteor piercing the sky.

The roaring sound was deafening, and the crimson clouds rolled endlessly, with the force of an overwhelming mountain.

However, faced with such a fierce sword strike, "Bai Ze" neither dodged nor evaded. His hands moved like flowers, his ten fingers as soft as if boneless, forming twisted hand seals.

At the same time, a peculiar fragrance suddenly wafted over, and Zhang Jingting felt his bones and flesh soften upon smelling it.

In that instant, Zhang Jingting's sword momentum suddenly dissipated, and countless beautiful flowers appeared in front of him, invading the crimson glow.

"Ha~"

The soft, effeminate laughter reached Zhang Jingting's ears; even the voice seemed to possess a strange, magical power that made his mind waver.

The strange true energy transformed into flowers that invaded, exhibiting changes in strength and gentleness, coldness and heat. The strength and heat were like a raging fire, while the cold energy carried a strange suction force.

The two forces were combined, tearing the crimson clouds apart and blasting Zhang Jingting into the air, sending him flying through the air, crashing through the railing on the other side, and then slamming into the mountain rocks.

Bai Ze flew over and landed on the road. His handsome face carried a sinister and effeminate air. He stretched his limbs and his body moved like a snake.

"act recklessly."

He chuckled and raised his palm to make a move.

"Yes, they're courting death."

A detached female voice suddenly rang out at this moment, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged like a tidal wave, surrounding a perfect figure.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingting, who was about to fight to the death, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He recognized her; she was Mu Yaoguang.

Mu Yaoguang is here, and Qianmian can't escape now.
