destiny eternal calamity

When the onlookers saw that Zhao Yuqing really dared to kill, they scattered and fled, fearing that they would offend this female killing goddess, and even more so that they would be arrested and interrogated by the court for witnessing the killing of the Dragon Guard.

Apart from the two unlucky ones who died on the spot, the remaining three Dragon Guards, including the Embroidered-Clad Dragon Guard, were all seriously injured.

They collapsed to the ground, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.

After a long while, the group managed to stand up, supporting each other.

Because the Embroidered-Clad Dragon Guards blocked most of the damage, the two Dragon Guards on the right, who were at the Qi Sea Realm, were actually less injured.

All three had blood seeping from their waists, and the Embroidered-Clad Dragon Guard's arms were hanging limply, seemingly from comminuted fractures.

Zhao Yuqing stepped forward and swung her sword again. The embroidered-robed dragon guard was unable to dodge and died instantly.

The remaining two dragon guards trembled with fear, looking like they wanted to escape but dared not.

"Get out of here! Get your boss here to see me!"

After finishing her sentence, Zhao Yuqing ignored them and continued studying the corpse.

Li Wei couldn't help but admire her; this girl was truly formidable!

Since Zhao Yuqing wasn't afraid of the Li Kingdom's court causing her trouble, Li Wei had nothing to fear, so he discussed it with Zhao Yuqing as if nothing had happened.

"These bodies died about three to four days ago. We can sketch their appearance and ask around the East City area if anyone has seen them and if they have anything in common."

Li Wei pointed to the three beggar corpses and said.

At this time of year, the deceased decomposes to the point of emitting a foul stench, but still retains a basic facial structure for about three or four days.

Previously, Li Anguo's practice of keeping the body in state for seven days was a funeral standard that only wealthy families could afford. Just buying ice alone cost a lot of money. Poor people would be buried in three days at most.

"As for these three demons, they all seem to be still in human form, and their strength is at most at the level of Qi Sea Warriors."

This was of course what Xiao Shuying told Li Wei; he had no idea how to distinguish the strength of the demon race.

"This snake demon seems to have struggled when it was captured, as it has wounds on its body from the struggle."

Zhao Yuqing pointed to the wounds on the snake demon's body and said.

These wounds were clearly caused by weapons rather than instruments of torture.

It seems the other side is holding back, intending to capture them alive.

Judging from the depth of its deepest wound, this snake demon was definitely no match for it.

"It's the Sun family's bone-cutting technique. The user should be at the Spirit Bridge cultivation level."

After a careful examination, Zhao Yuqing said.

Although she has only been in the industry for a short time, as a celestial maiden, she has a special inheritance and is not lacking in knowledge about the martial arts world.

"The Sun family? Is it the Sun family from which Sun Yi, the leader of the Shadow Assassins, came from?" Li Wei asked on a sudden impulse.

He was already considered a high-ranking staff member in the princess's residence, so he naturally had access to many secrets of the martial arts world.

Shadow Assassins is a killer organization that has risen to prominence in recent years.

Unlike established assassin groups like Blood Rain Tower, Shadow Assassins are very crude in their methods, but this organization must have powerful backers, as they can quickly settle scores with their enemies whenever they cause trouble.

Moreover, the identity of the leader of this organization is public knowledge; he is Sun Yi, a traitor from the Sun family of Jiangzhou.

Zhao Yuqing nodded, giving Li Wei an affirmative answer.

This bone-cutting technique is a unique third-tier knife technique of the Sun family of Jiangzhou.

Zhao Yuqing told Li Wei to stay where he was and guard the bodies. She then brought back several nearby farmers and asked them if they recognized the three beggars.

The answer I received was always that I didn't know them.

It was obvious that these three beggars had been kidnapped from somewhere else.

After waiting for more than an hour, a large group of Dragon Guards arrived.

The one leading them was actually Prince Long Xiao of Jin.

"Your Excellency, my fools are truly blind and ignorant of your greatness. They have offended you. Please forgive them."

Long Xiao adopted a very humble attitude and apologized immediately upon arriving at the meeting.

"I'm sorry, Celestial Maiden!"

The two dragon guards who had just been released came out from behind and knelt down with a thud.

"Please, have mercy on me!"

He kept kowtowing as he spoke.

Li Wei and Xiao Shuying watched the show from the sidelines. Although they knew that the Heavenly Maiden held a high position, neither of them expected that Long Xiao would be so humble.

Considering Long Bilin's attitude, the two realized that they probably thought Zhao Yuqing was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

After all, according to their records, celestial maidens are destined for eternal damnation upon birth.

Li Wei and Xiao Shuying were not actually sure of Zhao Yuqing's true cultivation level. After all, if an Eternal Tribulation cultivator wanted to hide their cultivation level, Xiao Shuying certainly wouldn't be able to tell.

Moreover, Zhao Yuqing's combat power was indeed too much, which was not like the performance of someone in the lower three realms. No wonder Long Xiao was so respectful.

If Zhao Yuqing were to pursue the matter, these two would undoubtedly be handed over by Long Xiao so she could kill them to vent her anger.

"The person who just offended me is already dead. Since I let these two go, I don't intend to pursue the matter any further."

"Take these six corpses to the morgue of the East City Military Command."

Zhao Yuqing said coldly, "I'm not a bloodthirsty person. These two Dragon Guards are just following orders."

Long Xiao immediately gave the order, and the Dragon Guards carried the rotting corpses into the city.

The bodies of the three Dragon Guards killed by Zhao Yuqing were quietly collected, and no one dared to speak ill of Zhao Yuqing.

Back at the East City Military Command, Zhao Yuqing dismissed the Dragon Guards, went to the storeroom to get some medicine, and then went to the morgue to dispose of the bodies.

After thinking for a moment, Li Wei said:

"Commander Zhao, there is crucial evidence on this snake demon. There's no guarantee that someone won't come to steal it or damage the corpse."

"That's right, I plan to guard the body tonight," Zhao Yuqing said while sprinkling preservative powder.

"I'll be there tonight too." Li Wei knew that if he wanted to build a closer relationship, he couldn't back down at a time like this.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the Heavenly Maiden will hold it up, so what is he afraid of?

After bidding farewell to Zhao Yuqing, Li Wei returned to the Bright Moon Baron's Mansion and took a bath.

He had just jumped into the mass grave, moved the corpses, and examined them up close; his body was covered in a lot of putrid stench.

After taking a bath, he went to see Shang Xueyan, learned some zither lessons from his senior sister, and then went to the Military Affairs Office again.

Shang Xueyan had already naturally healed several meridians. Although these meridians were still somewhat fragile, they were already able to generate a weak amount of true energy and activate her divine treasure.

After the divine treasure was activated, the power of her blood and qi surged forth, continuously repairing the injuries in her body.

Therefore, her injuries are healing at a rapid pace, and it is estimated that she will be able to heal herself through internal energy cultivation in a few more days.

Shang Xueyan didn't tell Li Wei either. She only planned to secretly recover her cultivation level and then hide her true identity, continuing to infiltrate her good junior brother's side under a disguise.

She hasn't given up on that martial art she learned in the prison yet.

Back at the Military Affairs Office, Zhao Yuqing seemed to have taken a bath as well. It was convenient since she lived in the office.

Zhao Yuqing's eyes lit up when she saw that he was really willing to come.

"It might be a bit dangerous tonight, so you stay outside, warn them and block the road. If the other side is too strong, just run away."

After saying that, she went into the morgue and hid in the shadows.

She must have some way of concealing her presence, because Xiao Shuying told Li Wei that even she couldn't detect Zhao Yuqing's existence at this moment.

Li Wei didn't mince words. He leaped onto a large tree not far away and activated a concealment technique taught by Xiao Shuying, sealing his aura and hiding himself away.

Two hours later, just as Li Wei was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a powerful gust of wind coming from above.

"Watch out!" Xiao Shuying appeared instantly, grabbed Li Wei, and used some kind of secret technique to run hundreds of meters away in an instant.

Before Li Wei could even stand still, he heard a tremendous roar, followed by a powerful shockwave that nearly knocked him to the ground.

After calming down a bit, he looked in the direction of the morgue and saw that the room had been razed to the ground.

There was a huge palm print on the ground, just like the scene in the movie "Buddha's Palm" that he had seen in his previous life, only this palm print was much bigger and covered the entire morgue.
