I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Chapter 183 Tiandu, Street Assassination

Heaven.

As the power center of the Martial Alliance, this place is home to many sects and powerful figures, as well as some cunning individuals.

However, under the leadership of the elders of the Martial Arts Alliance and the strict laws, most people still abide by the rules.

Su Wuchen and his group boarded a plane and landed at Tiandu Airport.

The vast Tiandu Airport is like a giant beast, and they are nothing more than ants in the belly of this beast.

"What a huge airport."

"This airport alone is almost as big as our Jiangcheng, isn't it?"

"Of course—"

The crowd followed Zhou Jiuliang out of the airport amidst much discussion.

As far as the eye can see, there are wide roads, towering skyscrapers, and cars speeding by, while the legendary sword disappears into the distance in an instant.

A peculiar jungle where ancient and modern elements are mixed together.

"The capital city is a melting pot of people, and no one knows whether an ordinary passerby is an elder or sect leader of some sect, or some other cultivator."

"Therefore, even those in the Inspection Department must keep a low profile, otherwise they can easily get into trouble."

Zhou Jiuliang's voice rang in everyone's ears, reminding them of the things they needed to pay attention to in Tiandu.

"Isn't our Inspection Division under the Martial Alliance? Even if we really run into trouble, would they dare to touch anyone from our Inspection Division?"

Someone asked, puzzled.

Zhou Jiuliang smiled and shook his head. "The Inspection Division is a big name in the Martial Alliance. Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to easily touch our Inspection Division."

"But what if you encounter those who are powerful and have powerful backers?"

"Openly, they might fear the authority of the Inspection Bureau and dare not touch you, but what if they secretly send powerful experts to assassinate you? Can you withstand it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They were members of the Inspection Department, backed by its powerful connections, but if they actually stumbled upon something like this, they would be the ones who died.

Even if the Investigation Department eventually avenges them, will they be able to come back to life?

and so.

Keep a low profile and ensure your own safety; that's the right approach.

Su Wuchen pursed his lips. The reason this happened was largely due to the inaction of the Investigation Department.

If the people in the Inspection Division were more assertive, and if anyone dared to touch a member of the Inspection Division, they would be eliminated along with the person and their associates. Naturally, no one would dare to lay a hand on the people in the Inspection Division.

Because before they take action, they consider the consequences of targeting the audit department personnel.

In this way, no one will dare to touch the people in the Inspection Department.

The group rode in the Inspection Department's welcoming car and, after a half-hour journey, finally arrived at the Inspection Department's headquarters.

Compared to the tall, reinforced concrete buildings near the airport, there are no tall, towering buildings near the headquarters of the Audit Division; the tallest building is no more than seven stories.

However, the entire headquarters of the Audit Department seemed to be separated by some powerful force.

At first glance, the headquarters of the Audit Department seems out of place with its surroundings. Most importantly, it is impossible to see the internal workings of the Audit Department.

Su Wuchen guessed that there should be an array around the Inspection Division to prevent others from spying on them.

The group followed Zhou Jiuliang through the gate.

"Please verify your identity."

The two inspectors on duty signaled to everyone to verify their identities.

If one is not an internal staff member of the Audit Department, it is impossible to enter the Audit Department smoothly.

After verifying his identity, Zhou Jiuliang gave a few instructions and left first.

He was the director of the Huzhou Inspection Department, and as the person in charge of the Huzhou team for this headquarters competition, he naturally had to go to the headquarters to report. As for Su Wuchen and the others, they arrived at their lodgings under the guidance of some staff members from the headquarters.

Along the way, Su Wuchen saw many martial arts practitioners, some of whom were young but had the cultivation level of the fifth or sixth rank, and others with gray hair but were still only ninth-rank martial arts practitioners.

However, most of the weaker martial artists were assigned to simple tasks within the Inspection Division.

Those young but powerful martial arts practitioners are the elite main force of the Inspection Division.

"Did you see those martial artists who reached the sixth rank of cultivation at such a young age?"

"Of course I saw it, but I heard that most of those who are so young yet possess such cultivation are core members of the Inspection Division, and they all have unlimited potential."

"I bet they rarely sleep and spend most of their time cultivating."

Why do you say that?

Zhao Fei's words immediately drew everyone's curious gaze.

Zhao Fei laughed and said, "Because they've been kept awake by Qian Lu's brightness."

Everyone: ".—..."

That's a really lame joke.

However, Zhao Fei was right. At such a young age and with such cultivation, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will inevitably be assigned to the inspection department of each state within a few years to take charge of a branch office.

"Alright, what's there to envy?"

At this moment, someone spoke up, "If you're really envious, why not just show off our strength at the grand finale of the inter-state competition?"

"If you're lucky enough to be noticed by some powerful figure, you might not be any worse off than them in the future."

"That makes sense."

"We should make proper preparations for the upcoming competition."

After discussing it for a while, the crowd dispersed.

Su Wuchen led Long Yujun to his courtyard. The courtyard was not large, with only two rooms, but it was fully equipped.

Without wasting any words, Long Yujun chose a room and went straight inside.

In just a moment, the sound of clashing swords and spears rang out.

Okay.

Judging from the sound, it seems that some game has started again.

After wandering around the room for a while, Su Wuchen walked out of the courtyard.

He was still very curious about Tiandu.

For someone who has never traveled far from home, big cities like Tianjin always hold a strong attraction.

Coincidentally, just as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Zhao Fei strolling over.

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

The two of them laughed in unison.

Zhao Fei: "It's rare that you have the time to go out for a stroll."

Unlike Su Wuchen's quiet nature, Zhao Fei is more active, so it's impossible for him to stay quietly at the headquarters of the Inspection Department.

"but----"

Zhao Fei glanced back at the courtyard. "Will my cousin be alright here all by herself?"

"What problem could there be?"

Su Wuchen smiled.

Not to mention that there are people on duty in the Inspection Division, based on Long Yujun's strength alone, there are not many people in the Inspection Division who can defeat him openly.

Trying to make Long Yujun uncomfortable is just asking for trouble.

Zhao Fei said no more, and the two walked out of the headquarters of the Inspection Department side by side.

The headquarters of the Inspection Department is located in the northern part of the city. In addition to the headquarters of the Inspection Department, people from many other departments also work nearby.

These people are easy to identify; you can tell them apart just by looking at the clothes they are wearing.

"I heard that this headquarters competition has attracted quite a few sects to come and watch."

Zhao Fei, having somehow learned the news, shared it with Su Wuchen, saying, "Of course, most of them are sects within our Martial Alliance territory."

"Isn't this normal?"

Although the internal competition within the Audit Department is primarily a contest among newcomers, it can indirectly demonstrate the Audit Department's ability to select personnel.

The fact that a group of newly joined members could demonstrate combat strength at the fifth or sixth rank is undoubtedly a great deterrent to other sects.

Zhao Fei nodded and lowered his voice slightly, "I heard that some elders will appear in this internal competition. They may not show themselves directly, but they will observe secretly and select suitable disciples."

Su Wuchen looked over and Zhao Fei winked and said, "If you could become a disciple of these elders—you know what I mean."

"An elder of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"right."

Su Wuchen nodded in realization.

The elders of the Martial Alliance all possess cultivation levels of Rank 4 or higher. If one is favored by these elders and accepted as a disciple, there is a very high chance of staying in Tiandu.

As long as one stays in Tiandu, the cultivation resources one possesses will far exceed those of a small place like Jiangcheng.

"Any ideas?"

"no."

Su Wuchen shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Fei said with a hint of disappointment, "Your current cultivation level is the strongest among our group!"

"If you perform well during the competition, you might have a chance to be noticed by the elders!"

"If those elders take a liking to you, you'll soar to great heights, brother!"

"I haven't thought about it."

Su Wuchen shook his head again. "You know I'm not interested in these things."

Zhao Fei was speechless for a moment. "Is the game really that fun?"

Su Wuchen smiled but didn't say anything more.

As the two talked, they arrived at a bustling commercial street, where weapons, elixirs, protective gear—everything needed for cultivation—was readily available.

Aside from the items for cultivation, the two also discovered many interesting things.

For example, cosmetic surgery centers in the immortal sect, yoga studios in the Buddhist sect, and so on.

"Why do you think so many female cultivators go to places like this?"

Zhao Fei couldn't understand. Shouldn't the most important thing for a cultivator be their cultivation level and combat strength?

Why do these women pay so much attention to their appearance?

Even martial arts practitioners at the sixth or seventh rank need to go to skincare centers and yoga studios.

is it necessary?

"Why don't you go over and ask?"

Su Wuchen wore a slightly mocking smile. "Perhaps they'll tell you why you should go in."

Zhao Fei: "...."

Zhao Fei pursed his lips, saying nothing more, but when he looked up at the side of the street, he suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap?"

"What's wrong?"

Su Wuchen looked in that direction and saw a girl wearing a hot short skirt and high-heeled sandals, surrounded by several guards.

He walked over, wearing sunglasses, under her protection.

"This woman—"

As soon as Zhao Fei spoke, he noticed the guard's gaze and subconsciously lowered his voice slightly, "She's unbelievably beautiful."

Su Wuchen nodded. Although the other person was wearing sunglasses, their outstanding figure and fair skin were indeed very eye-catching.

and----

Su Wuchen sensed the aura of a fifth-grade cultivator emanating from him.

"Very strong."

"powerful?"

Zhao Fei looked at Su Wuchen with a puzzled expression.

Su Wuchen whispered, "He's a cultivator."

Zhao Fei: "???"

Such a beautiful female cultivator?

Even the corpse-burying Su felt powerful; could it be a realm above the sixth rank?

But why would such a powerful cultivator need guards to protect him?

"She looks like a female celebrity."

Zhao Fei smacked his lips, watching the group's departing figures, and said, "Could he be a theatrical cultivator?"

Playful cultivation is a unique form of spiritual practice.

Those who cultivate themselves often appear in the public eye in various different forms.

Who knows?

Su Wuchen smiled, "To possess such strong cultivation and have guards accompanying him, his status must be quite high, he should be—"

Su Wuchen suddenly fell silent, which puzzled Zhao Fei. "What's wrong?"

"She looks like she's going to die."

"what?"

Zhao Fei looked again and saw two figures walking out from both sides of the street, approaching the woman in sunglasses and her companions.

When they were less than ten meters apart, the assassin on the left suddenly attacked the woman in sunglasses.

but.

This assassin wasn't very strong; judging from the burst of power he displayed, he was at most a sixth-grade martial artist at the peak of his cultivation.

The moment she made her move, two of the guards beside the woman in sunglasses immediately stepped forward and stopped her.

The remaining three people protected the woman in sunglasses behind them, looking around warily, and did not rush to get involved.

Just then, the assassin on the other side suddenly revealed his knife to the woman in sunglasses.

puff.

A sudden flash of light severed the woman's shoulder in an instant. She screamed in pain, and only then did the three guards beside her react, managing to repel the assassin.

However, the commotion of the fight startled passersby, who quickly retreated and curiously observed the commotion.

"No way?"

Zhao Fei was utterly incredulous. "This is Tiandu, the headquarters of the Martial Alliance! How could someone be so brazenly committing murder on the street?"

As the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance, its security is naturally excellent.

Anyone who intends to commit murder on the street, regardless of whether they succeed, is destined to be unable to escape the moment they start.

However, the two men attacked with great fervor, clearly intending to perish together.

"What a pity."

Zhao Fei glanced at the woman in sunglasses lying in a pool of blood. "Such a beautiful girl, how did she end up being targeted by an assassin, even to the point that the assassin was willing to die here to kill her?"

"You really are a busybody."

Su Wuchen rolled his eyes. "Let's go, what's so interesting about this?!"

Seeing the two assassins captured, Su Wuchen was rather uninterested. But just as he was about to call Zhao Fei to leave, his eyes widened in surprise.

Despite lying in a pool of blood, seemingly on the verge of death, the woman in sunglasses stood up unharmed.

"Wow!"

"Is this fucking right?"

Su Wuchen and Zhao Fei stared at each other, both looking completely astonished.

"How dare you!"
