Damn! It's one thing for me, a member of the Quanxing sect, to lie, but you, a Taoist priest, have such high cultivation...
You, you... how could you lie to me?
"So, you're saying he's from Longhu Mountain?"
Temporary information desk at Nadutong.
Xu San and Xu Si looked at Liu Yanyan, who had an innocent expression on her face, with suspicion written all over her face.
"Yes! That's what he told me."
"As for the rest, don't expect me to tell you."
Liu Yanyan looked stubborn.
“Those Quanxing people who acted recklessly deserved to die. I will never betray Master Lu.”
Xu San pushed up his glasses, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Why does Liu Yanyan seem a little... different from the information?
My gaze returned to the documents in front of me.
According to intelligence, Liu Yanyan is a rebellious teenager.
Unable to accept the rules of modern superhuman society and the conflict with the old school of superhuman inheritance, he ran away from home due to disagreements with his family.
According to the latest intelligence, Liu Yanyan even claimed that she wanted to join Quanxing.
Based on the available intelligence, she should be on her way to find Quanxing. How did she suddenly get involved in this case?
Moreover, she has become an angry young woman who keeps saying "the Quanxing deserves to die".
Is this change really that big?
Xu San was speechless.
I haven't even started asking questions yet, and you've already described almost the entire process.
But you didn't even know that Lu Xuan was actually from Wudang.
What else do you have to hide?
This is the first time I've encountered someone who is so subjectively refusing and passively cooperating, yet knows absolutely nothing about it.
Even the good cop/bad cop combination of him and Xu Si couldn't be effective.
Xu San was speechless.
Xu Si immediately came on as a substitute.
"Xu San, I don't think there's anything left to interrogate."
Xu San feigned surprise: "I feel like she might know something, right?"
"how is this possible?"
Xu Si held a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it, and rolled his dead fish eyes.
"If that Taoist priest really had some kind of relationship with her, would he have abandoned her?"
"I think it was just a coincidence."
Liu Yanyan's face suddenly turned red.
"You, you're talking nonsense. My meeting with Master Lu is fate. It must be fate that brought us together."
"I understand, I understand!"
Xu Si's face clearly showed his perfunctory attitude.
"Sign now and leave!"
"You're out of the picture. I bet you don't even know where he went!"
Liu Yanyan was furious: "Nonsense, how could I not know?"
"Master Lu must have gone to kill Shen Chong. He killed that androgynous guy to find out Shen Chong's whereabouts."
"Oh, is it so?"
Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a knowing glance.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Something terrible has happened! Xu San and Xu Si are in trouble!"
Chapter 19: This chapter is very long, just like you.
Small single-cell prison cell.
Xu San, Xu Si, Bao'er, and a professional forensic doctor squeezed into a small private room.
A still-warm body lay on the cell floor, and the forensic doctor was working on it while it was still warm.
"It shouldn't be!"
Xu San looked at the intact cell with a surprised expression.
The entire cell was made of special materials, which should theoretically prevent the flow of Qi.
Moreover, there are no traces of Qi remaining in the cell, and the entire room remains undamaged.
Is this... a locked-room murder case in the world of supernatural beings?
Xu San subconsciously touched his bow tie.
Wait... where did that background music come from?
Xu San glared at Xu Si, who was playing music on his phone, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Xu Si, haven't you made enough trouble?"
"I was just trying to lighten the mood, wasn't I?"
Xu Si shrugged and looked at Bao'er: "Bao'er, what do you think?"
"There's no problem."
Bao'er squatted down and carefully examined the body.
"But he has lost both his vital energy and his soul!"
The forensic doctor standing nearby also shook his head.
"My examination yielded similar conclusions. There were no external injuries on the deceased's body, and it appeared to be a sudden—natural death?"
The forensic doctor's expression was somewhat strange; the conclusion itself was utter nonsense.
The reality is that the deceased had no external injuries; it was as if he was supposed to die suddenly, and then he died.
Cause of death: Dead!
Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance.
In the cultivation philosophy of extraordinary people, the innate Qi manifests in the limbs and bones. Human life cannot exist without the support of innate Qi; without innate Qi, death is inevitable.
The importance of the soul goes without saying.
If we combine Bao'er's and the forensic doctor's conclusions:
There was a force that, disregarding the prison's measures and various security measures, and without leaving any trace, annihilated the deceased's vital energy and soul out of thin air.
This is quite in line with the current situation.
But the only problem is, how could anyone possess such power and means?
This is completely beyond the norm in the world of supernatural beings; it's impossible to have such a method that ignores all measures and warnings yet leaves no trace.
In particular, they witnessed two incredible things in a short period of time, which made them unconsciously make connections.
"Master Lu... could it be a coincidence?"
Xu San looked at the deceased's information. The deceased was a member of the Quanxing gang, who had been captured not long ago and had previously formed a contract with Shen Chong.
"Let's check the surveillance footage first."
Xu Si took out his tablet and opened the surveillance video.
"Let me go, let me go, I'm going to kill you all."
In the small cell of the prison, a burly man wearing a specially made restraint suit was struggling desperately, but unfortunately he could not break free of the restraint suit that was specifically designed for superhumans.
After signing the contract with Shen Chong, the burly man had already killed many people. Now, the proportion of Qi he was given was very small, causing him to completely lose his mind.
Just then, a sword's cry suddenly rang out from inside the cell.
Xu Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly slowed down the video and zoomed in to the maximum.
All that could be heard was the clang of swords, like the clash of weapons.
Then, an almost imperceptible, extremely subtle sword light appeared out of thin air in the cell.
This sword light was even finer than a hair, almost imperceptible.
The sword flashed, completely ignoring the guards and defenses inside the cell.
Then the sword light pierced the strong man's Niwan Palace, and the strong man instantly fell silent.
Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance.
There are just too many coincidences now!
Could it really be that Taoist Master Lu from Wudang?
He was from an unknown distance, completely ignoring the prison's defenses, when he unleashed a sword beam that severed the Quanxing sect.
Vanishing under the moon, slaying souls from afar.
This is practically the work of a legendary immortal.
No! Not at all, this is the legendary method of immortals.
Even the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain had never displayed such terrifying methods.
Is a celestial being about to appear in Wudang, which has been silent for a long time?
