Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

After Cheng Mengling left.

Gu Chen and Wei Zhong continued refining pills.

Because I was a little late this morning.

It was evening.

Gu Chen then finished refining the four batches of pills for the day.

Instruct Wei Zhong to deliver the elixir to the Cheng family.

Gu Chen prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

At this time.

Liang Xiaoyun suddenly rushed to his residence and reported to him: "My lord, something bad has happened."

Seeing her anxious expression.

Gu Chen asked, "What happened? You seem to be in a hurry."

"My lord, evil spirits have appeared and are causing trouble in Jiuwan City," Liang Xiaoyun said.

"Evil spirit!" Gu Chen was taken aback.

Gu Chen hadn't encountered this thing in a long time.

I haven't encountered it since I killed the evil spirit that Nie Ke had transformed into in Chiyang City.

Gu Chen remembered that since the second-generation head of the Night Watch took office, evil spirits had rarely appeared in Jiuwan City.

Unexpectedly, evil spirits have reappeared.

"What level of evil spirit is it that you can't handle and have to come to me for help?" Gu Chen asked Liang Xiaoyun.

Ordinary evil spirits.

If it is below the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

With Liang Xiaoyun's strength at the late stage of the fifth realm of innate ability, she should be able to handle it on her own.

"My lord, it's a malevolent spirit at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm!" Liang Xiaoyun explained, "Neither Lin Fei nor I could deal with it, so we had to ask you for help."

"A malevolent spirit at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm!" Gu Chen realized. "Then take me to see it."

Gu Chen left with Liang Xiaoyun.

She and Lin Fei were indeed no match for an evil spirit at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

This level of evil spirit can be exchanged for fifty years of spiritual cultivation from this copper bowl, so it is naturally not something that ordinary people can deal with.

Gu Chen followed Liang Xiaoyun all the way to the place where the evil spirits appeared.

We arrived at the intersection of several inns in the center of Jiuwan City.

at this time.

Lin Fei and a group of Night Watch personnel gathered here.

"What about evil spirits?" Liang Xiaoyun asked.

The evil spirit they had just been hunting together.

The evil spirit was discovered by the two night watchmen on patrol tonight in an ordinary residential area in the west of the city.

They then tracked them all the way here.

Because the evil spirit was too powerful, the two Night Watchmen who were tracking it dared not get too close. They could only follow it from a distance and try to notify the other Night Watchmen.

"They disappeared into the alley," Lin Fei said.

That evil spirit reached the perfection of the fifth realm of the innate stage.

They stopped their pursuit here.

The evil spirit's methods of killing are very strange. Anyone below the fifth level of the Innate Realm who chases after it and encounters it will die.

So everyone simply waited there until Liang Xiaoyun brought Gu Chen over.

At this moment, the people stationed in several nearby inns were also alerted, such as those from Coldwind Valley, the Mining Gang, and the Feng family, who all came out to investigate.

After their challenge against Gu Chen, the leading prodigies were all injured and could only rest in the city until they recovered before returning.

Even the members of the Qingyun Sword Sect did not leave.

Their money had been robbed by Gu Chen, and now they were staying at inns on credit.

Of course, the inn dared not accept their money.

They have already sent a message back, asking the experts from the Qingyun Sword Sect to come and meet them.

Liu Chen, Tian Lie, and Wu Fa were all seriously injured, especially Tian Lie. The punch that Luo Tianxing delivered to vent his anger on Gu Chen almost left him unable to take care of himself, and many parts of his body were damaged by the violent true energy from Luo Tianxing's punch.

It will take a long time to recover.

It's impossible for him to walk back on his own.

We can only send someone to meet us.

Due to the influence of evil spirits, some people from the Nine Bays City forces stationed in the city center, such as the Zhu family, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and the Flowing Cloud Chamber of Commerce, were affected.

They also came out to check the situation.

"You guys stay here and keep watch, I'll go in and check," Gu Chen said to Liang Xiaoyun.

"Yes, sir." Liang Xiaoyun and Lin Fei obeyed.

Gu Chen entered it.

This alleyway connects to the working-class area in the west of the city, and is accessible from all directions.

There are many exports and imports.

Entering it is like walking into a maze of alleyways.

However, the Five Thunder Innate Skill and Demon Suppressing Blade Technique that Gu Chen practiced before generated energy that was most effective against evil spirits.

This made him very sensitive to the aura of evil spirits.

As soon as he entered the alley, he sensed a faint, lingering, malevolent aura.

This is the aura left behind by evil spirits as they passed through here.

Gu Chen followed this aura.

It feels like we're getting closer.

Soon, Gu Chen arrived at the intersection of a deep alley.

A dark shadow flashed past him—it was that evil spirit!

Extremely fast.

Gu Chen quickly drew his Fire Profound Blade and gave chase.

Shouts could be heard from all around.

"The evil spirit has emerged, it's over there!"

It's one of those inns in the city center.

The voices of those outsiders.

There were female disciples from Cold Wind Valley, and also people from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect.

There are also mining gangs and the Feng family.

This evil spirit has the cultivation of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, and killing it will yield a Soul Pearl.

Soul beads are good things.

Killing it would be a good reward.

Moreover, evil spirits appear.

They also have an obligation to help with the cleanup.

On Gu Chen's side, the dark figure that was chasing him passed several corners.

We arrived at the end of an alley.

Then the dark figure disappeared from sight.

All that could be seen ahead was...

A figure was lying on the ground.

Gu Chen became alert.

He slowly stepped forward and opened it to examine it.

Their figures and faces were revealed!

"Golden Feather!" Gu Chen was taken aback.

At this moment, there was a long wound on his neck, almost severing his throat, and it was still bleeding. He had already stopped breathing.

"Here!" from behind.

The sound of footsteps approached.

We've arrived at the alley entrance!

Then they saw Huang Jinyu lying on the ground, already dead, his body still bleeding.

Upon seeing this, the members of the mining gang...

"Young Master, what's going on!" He immediately rushed forward anxiously to check.

Unfortunately, the person is already dead!

No matter how much they shout, it's no use.

They watched as Gu Chen stood to the side, knife in hand.

"Gu Chen, why did you kill our young leader!" The members of the First Mine Gang shouted angrily at Gu Chen in grief.

The other gang members also glared angrily at Gu Chen.

They had just come in with Huang Jinyu to track down the evil spirits.

Golden Feather was faster than them, and after bypassing two alleys, he caught up with them directly here.

Unexpectedly, their young leader, Xie Sui, was killed by Gu Chen instead!

Behind them, the members of the Feng family, as well as Ye Xuemei and others from Cold Wind Valley, looked at Gu Chen with puzzlement.

Why did Gu Chen want to kill Huang Jinyu?

Looking at the wound on Huang Jinyu's neck, it was clearly a knife wound.

Furthermore, the person making the move must be significantly stronger than Huang Jinyu in order to achieve a fatal blow.

Golden Feather didn't even have time to call for help.

You need to be at least a True Essence Realm expert.

Currently, Gu Chen is the only True Essence Realm cultivator who has entered this alley to track down evil spirits.

There was no one else there.

Apart from Gu Chen, no one else has this kind of strength.

"I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him," Gu Chen argued.

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Who else but you has the power to kill our young leader in the blink of an eye, without even giving him a chance to cry out?" the mining gang members shouted angrily. "Does being the head of the Night Watch mean you can just kill people like that?!"

"I told you, I didn't kill him," Gu Chen coldly shouted at the group of mining gang members. "Don't try to smear me."

"Who else could it be but you? We arrived and saw the young gang leader lying on the ground, and you were just standing there with a knife in your hand." They didn't listen to Gu Chen's explanation at all.

Right now.

People from many powerful groups in the city center also entered this alley.

Including the group from the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Liu Chen looked at Gu Chen: "I didn't expect you, Director Gu, to be so ruthless as to directly attack Young Master Huang. What did he do to offend you that you would do such a vicious thing to him?"

Gu Chen looked at him with a cold gaze: "I already said I didn't kill him, what the hell are you talking nonsense about!"

But the members of the mining gang wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.

Right now.

Ye Xuemei stepped forward and carefully examined the wound on Huang Jinyu's neck.

Then he looked at the knife in Gu Chen's hand.

She frowned and said, "Huang Jinyu did indeed die from a knife wound, and the knife that wounded him was of a high grade, at least a Xuan-level treasure weapon."

"He has reached the peak of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm, with perfect flesh, muscles and bones. It is impossible for a Yellow-grade treasure weapon to kill him so easily. The person who killed him must be far stronger than him to kill him with a single strike."

Obviously.

Gu Chen and his Fire Profound Blade both fit the characteristics of a murderer.

She didn't understand why Gu Chen wanted to kill Huang Jinyu.

But the facts are right before our eyes.

Only Gu Chen fits the characteristics of a murderer.

Moreover, Gu Chen had come ahead of them.

Huang Jinyu followed and took a detour to enter.

I never expected to be attacked so soon after I entered.

Could it be that he stumbled upon some secret of Gu Chen, causing Gu Chen to want to kill him to silence him?

People from various factions couldn't help but speculate.

Right now.

The Night Watchmen walked over to Gu Chen's side.

"Boss, what happened?!" Gu Chen said coldly, "It's been set up. This Golden Feather was killed and dumped here. I was the first one in and happened to witness it, so they mistakenly think I killed him!"

Gu Chen now understands.

He was set up tonight.

From the moment that evil spirit appeared, he was plotted against.

The goal was to kill Huang Jinyu and frame him.

well.

Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. Daring to scheme against him, they were truly courting death!

"Junior brother, junior brother!" At this moment.

A voice filled with grief and indignation rang out.

In the crowd, a man in his thirties dressed in mining gang clothing came to Huang Jinyu's body, hugged it, and wept bitterly.

"I just arrived and heard about my junior brother's death. What happened?" The man looked around at the group of members of the mining gang.

The man was none other than [name missing].

It was Liu Xun, the senior disciple of the mining gang in the current generation.

The members of the mining gang looked at Gu Chen with envy and said to Liu Xun, "Senior Brother, it was him, it was him, the young gang leader who was killed by Gu Chen, the chief of the Night Watch of Jiuwan City."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun glared angrily at Gu Chen: "Why did you kill my junior brother? What did he do to offend you?"

Gu Chen said calmly, "I already said, I didn't kill him. I was framed. I had no grudge against him, so why would I kill him!"

"Just because there's no enmity doesn't mean it's impossible. Maybe he was the first one to come in and stumbled upon some secret of yours, and you're going to silence him." Liu Xun hadn't answered yet.

Liu Chen from the Qingyun Sword Sect spoke up from behind: "Now, the wound, the murder weapon, and the suspect's cultivation level—all these clues point to you. Moreover, as soon as everyone came in, they saw you standing to the side holding a knife. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Could it be that an evil spirit killed him?!"

"How can you prove you're not the murderer?"

Gu Chen stared at him coldly: "Do you want to die? You saw me kill him!"

"Heh, is this the style of your Night Watch officials? You kill someone and won't admit it. I pointed it out and you started threatening me with death. Does this world belong to everyone or just your Night Watch? Can't others tell the truth? You want to kill me just because I told the truth? With such a strong desire to kill, it's no wonder that you killed this young gang leader Huang!" Liu Chen sneered at Gu Chen.

Huang Jinyu's identity is extraordinary.

He is the young leader of the Mining Gang, one of the top forces in Yuehai County.

The strongest expert, a fourth-rank expert, is in charge.

Moreover, with the Body Sect, one of the four major sects, behind him, Gu Chen is doomed now that he's involved in this.

If he cannot prove that he did not kill Huang Jinyu.

The mining gang will never let him off the hook!
