I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"Young Miss!" Cheng Laiyun rushed over in three strides:

"Did you bring the torch?"

Xu Jiayin was taken aback and subconsciously touched her waist:

"Why did you bring it?"

"Help! It's urgent!" Cheng Laiyun grabbed her wrist. "We'll talk on the way!"

Before Xu Jiayin could react, he had already pulled her outside.

Ling Ziyun followed behind, running until he was out of breath.

"Hey! Let go! I can walk by myself!"

Xu Jiayin blushed slightly, shook off his hand, took out the familiar Rubik's Cube from her waist, and with the circulation of spiritual power, the flying torch grew longer in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into a flying machine that could accommodate three or four people.

"Come on up!"

The three of them leaped onto the flying torch. Xu Jiayin activated her spiritual power, and the flying torch soared into the sky, drawing a streak of light above Qingzhou City.

On the way, Cheng Laiyun briefly explained what had happened.

Xu Jiayin frowned after hearing this:

"Zhang Lai... I know that fellow. He's a Confucian scholar with considerable talent. He comes from the Zhang family of Quzhou, one of the five branches and three surnames of the Zhang family."

Why would he make things so difficult for a mere guard?

Five families and three surnames...

A very prominent family in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Cheng Laiyun paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The Bureau."

"Bureau?"

"Someone wants to kill Wu Qiufeng." Cheng Laiyun squinted.

"It's not because he offended Zhang Lai, but because he's alive, and that's a threat to some people."

Ling Ziyun, listening from the side, was completely bewildered: "What threat? Isn't Wu Qiufeng just a lowly guard who looks after the life bones?"

Cheng Laiyun offered no explanation.

He had heard Qi Dazhuang mention it.

Wu Qiufeng is currently in charge of a case concerning a life bone.

A life bone with metal-based supernatural powers...

……

The torch landed at the street corner.

Cheng Laiyun jumped down and scanned his surroundings.

The two constables in black robes were still there, but Qi Dazhuang was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?!" Cheng Laiyun's expression changed, and he immediately rushed over, grabbing one of the men by the collar. His eyes flashed coldly as he asked in a chilling voice:

"Where's Qi Dazhuang?!"

The constable was startled and stammered, "Qi, Qi Dianwei, he went to the Wu family."

"Who let him go?!"

"He...he insisted on leaving...we couldn't stop him!"

Cheng Laiyun's heart sank.

How long has he been gone?

"It's been about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Cheng Laiyun looked grim.

Qi Dazhuang, you bastard... do you really think you're Guo Jing?!

The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people.

Seeing injustice on the road, he roared in protest!

"Phew~"

He took a deep breath, his gaze turning serene, and looked at the constable, asking:

"The exact location of the Wu family."

He didn't want to get involved in Wu Qiufeng's affairs.

But if it were Qi Dazhuang, he couldn't possibly ignore it.

After the yamen runner spoke.

Cheng Laiyun slowly raised his head.

He met Xu Jiayin's serious gaze.

Eyes facing each other.

Xu Jiayin instantly understood Cheng Laiyun's gaze. Without any hesitation, she activated the flying torch:

"Come on up!"

The torch rose into the air again, speeding off in another direction in the city.

Ling Ziyun was left alone, looking with a troubled expression at Wu Qiufeng lying in the bloodstains.

……

The Wu Family Courtyard.

Before he even landed, Cheng Laiyun saw the wide-open courtyard gate.

There were also several servants in black robes standing at the gate of the courtyard.

The moment the torch fell, he jumped down and rushed into the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet.

His heart sank suddenly.

Everywhere the eye can see.

Qi Dazhuang had already fallen to the ground.

He lay on the ground, covered in blood.

Beside him, three men who looked like guards were continuing to beat him...

Through the gap between the people, Cheng Laiyun could see clearly.

Qi Dazhuang's face was so swollen that it was unrecognizable.

His hands and feet were twisted at bizarre angles, clearly indicating that his bones had been broken.

Not far away, an old woman lay on her back on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sky.

There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her chest was no longer rising and falling.

The little girl, about eleven or twelve years old, was lying face down next to her grandmother, completely still.

The pigtails came undone, and her hair was scattered in the pool of blood, stained bright red.

Cheng Laiyun's mind went blank.

Your mom!

You son of a bitch!

Cheng Laiyun's eyes instantly turned red as he stared intently at the chaotic scene.

All the slight anger and blame in her heart towards Qi Dazhuang dissipated.

Don't even mention Qi Dazhuang.

Anyone in that situation would lose their temper.

Then, he heard a voice.

Slow and deliberate, with a smile:

"Oh, another one?"

Cheng Laiyun suddenly looked up, a suffocatingly sharp glint brewing in his phoenix eyes.

Zhang Lai stood in the center of the courtyard, dressed in brocade robes and jade belt, gently waving a folding fan, a faint smile on her face.

Behind him stood seven or eight guards, two of whom had a significantly stronger aura.

Zhang Lai's gaze swept over Cheng Laiyun and landed on Xu Jiayin, her smile deepening:

"Miss Xu, what brings you here?"

Xu Jiayin was also trembling with anger as she stared at Zhang Lai:

"brute!!"

"hehe."

Zhang Lai merely raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

Cheng Laiyun withdrew his gaze from the towering guard and landed on Zhang Lai's face.

His voice was calm, eerily calm:

"Tell your men to stop."

Zhang Lai raised an eyebrow and smiled: "What did you say?"

"I'll speak," Cheng Laiyun said, emphasizing each word.

"Tell your men to stop."

Zhang Lai was taken aback.

He then laughed loudly, closed his folding fan, and pointed at Qi Dazhuang, who was lying in a pool of blood:

"This brute barged in, pointed his finger at my nose and cursed, even trying to intimidate me with the name of the Wuji Sect."

He took two steps forward, stood next to Qi Dazhuang, and kicked him in the face with his toe.

Qi Dazhuang groaned and his body twitched.

"You saw it?" Zhang Lai looked up, smiling at Cheng Laiyun.

"I'm on official business."

"This brute is obstructing official business. Is it wrong for me to teach him some manners?"

Cheng Laiyun remained silent.

He simply stared into Zhang Lai's eyes and walked forward step by step.

Xu Jiayin followed indifferently behind him.

Zhang Lai's smile slowly faded.

His two guards immediately stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Cheng Laiyun stopped in his tracks.

Xu Jiayin remained expressionless.

Zhang Lai tilted her head and looked at the two of them, her tone flippant:

"What's wrong?"

"Cheng Laiyun, Xu Jiayin...hehe."

"Are you trying to use the Ink Sect to intimidate me?"

"This young master... is a little scared."

As he spoke, he kicked Qi Dazhuang again, this time hitting him in the face, causing Qi Dazhuang's head to snap to the side and blood to gush from his mouth.

Cheng Laiyun slowly clenched his fist.

He didn't turn around.

He simply looked at Zhang Lai, at that smiling face, at those cold eyes.

Although it was just a few simple sentences of dialogue.

However, Cheng Laiyun keenly grasped certain information.

He spoke expressionlessly, his voice not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly:

"Calling out my senior sister's name is not difficult."

"But the fact that you can call me by my name... it seems you've investigated me."

"What could possibly be so important that you'd want to investigate someone as insignificant as me?"

Cheng Laiyun's tone was devoid of any emotional fluctuation:

"And you seem to be trying to provoke me?"

Upon hearing Cheng Laiyun's words, Zhang Lai's pupils suddenly contracted!

But the stiff expression quickly vanished.

He chuckled and tapped his ear with his folding fan:

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Cheng Laiyun took a deep breath:

"I said, you succeeded."

"The bathhouse is called Feng Fu!!!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his body!

Countless blazing white light spots surged out from his sea of ​​consciousness, instantly covering his entire body!

Layers of dark gold armor plates overlapped, with flowing spiritual patterns, and the spiritual energy conduits shone with a dazzling light.

Jade Pivot Giant...

Ok.

It should now be called "Ink Gate Armor".

start up!!!
