This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 487 The Magic Road to Heaven (6000+)

Feng Province, provincial capital.

He Jian led his men out of the headquarters compound of the Ministry of Supervision.

Just after the New Year, he brought his team to the provincial capital of Feng Province to continue investigating Shangguan Xiao's case.

Although several years have passed and the Lu family has long destroyed all the relevant evidence, He Jian learned from Li Fei that -

At the beginning, Lu Wenzhen and Xu Jing joined forces to lure Hao Yi into the trap. They spent more than ten years slowly setting up the scheme and creating the illusion that Shangguan Xiao was colluding with spies from the Western Continent.

He Jian didn't believe that a game that took such a long time and was so rich in details would leave no trace at all.

He also has two key figures:
One is Qi Jin, who was captured by Li Fei himself. Although he had been executed by slow slicing, he left enough testimonies and provided He Jian with a lot of key information.

Another key figure is Chen Xiang, a former special lecturer at Wuhan University.

This person was specially arranged by Lu Wenzhen to frame Tiefengmen and lure Tiefengmen into the game, thus giving Xu Jing the opportunity to use the [Black Water] magical power to devour the [Tengyun] magical power of the leader of Tiefengmen.

Later, Chen Xiang was caught and forced to confess by Li Fei. He has been detained by the Datong government for the past few years.

Knowing these two key figures is enough for He Jian to find out a lot of things.

Li Fei is now a level 16 Blue Patrol Special Envoy. He is ordered to investigate the case and has the power to mobilize the entire Feng Province Supervision Department to cooperate with him!
Even though the Chief Inspector of the Provincial Supervisory Department of Feng Province was Lu Wenzhen's man, after Li Fei's previous "counterattack", the Datong Prefecture Supervisory Office frequently sent people to the Provincial Supervisory Department to arrest people and bring them to trial.

Now, most officials in the provincial supervisory department are afraid, and some of those who are not so determined have decided not to stand on Lu Wenzhen's side anymore.

Especially when the news spread that the Crown Prince was acting as regent and Li Fei became the 'minister of state', more officials began to waver!
So when He Jian brought people to the provincial capital to investigate the case, he had already prepared himself for being coldly treated and encountering various obstacles. However, he did not expect that many officials would actively cooperate and take the initiative to show goodwill.

In this way, the investigation will proceed more smoothly!

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down."

He Jian's female disciple Yuan Mengfei couldn't help but sigh after walking out of the door of the Supervision Department.

"The Crown Prince is the regent. The situation is on the side of the Marquis now. These people are trying to curry favor with the powerful. They will naturally know what to do."

Another disciple of He Jian said.

He Jian turned around and glanced at a few people, and several disciples immediately stopped discussing.

"Just focus on investigating the case. Do you think it's your turn to worry about the world's situation?"

The old man scolded, then took several disciples and rushed to the Lu Mansion.

"The Central Supervisory Office has been ordered to investigate the case!"

After arriving at Lu’s house, He Jian presented his token.

But the guards at the door still didn't let him in.

When the two sides were confronting each other, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion came out and saluted He Jian calmly:

"Lord He, I wonder what you are here to investigate? This is the residence of the Inspector General. We are sorry that we cannot let you in casually."

After Qiming's death, He Jian officially cracked the case of the Xin Tianhui, and then he made the leap from a carp to a dragon, and was promoted to a 16th-level cabinet official!
However, although his official position is equal to Li Fei's, the power he holds is far less than that of Li Fei.

The emperor promoted him this time more because of Li Fei's face, and also because of his previous merits, so he was promoted to a cabinet official.

After the promotion, He Jian gained more honors and various benefits, but his actual power did not increase much. At most, it was more convenient for him to handle cases than before.

But this is enough for He Jian.

He said expressionlessly: "I want to interrogate Lu Yuqi. I have enough evidence to prove that this person is related to a case of treason a few years ago."

When the housekeeper heard the name Lu Yuqi, his expression changed slightly.

This person is the nephew of the head of the Lu family, Lu Wenzhen, and is also the person who truly holds power in the Lu family's lineage.

"Sorry, Master Yuqi is not at home."

The butler bowed slightly and said apologetically.

He Jian expected this answer.

Although he had the authority given by Li Fei, it was not enough for him to bring his men to break into the residence of an inspector general.

"Then please tell Lu Yuqi that after receiving the news, please come to the Supervisory Department to cooperate with the investigation. If you don't come within three days, we will treat you as absconding for fear of crime and issue a wanted order!"

He Jian said.

Today, he is no longer the "detective" who was easily driven away in front of the gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion.

He is a cabinet minister himself, and with the support of the 'First Marquis of Da Lan', He Jian is very bold and vigorous when investigating the case!
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the butler and turned away with his men.

The housekeeper looked heavy-hearted and hurried back to tell Lu Wenzhen.

At this moment, Lu Wenzheng was handling things in his office in the government building. After receiving the news, he said expressionlessly:
"Let Lu Yuqi go to the Supervision Department to cooperate with the investigation."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and lit a cigarette in the office.

In the smoke, his eyes were sinister.

He knew very well that he could not be convicted based solely on Shangguan Xiao's case.

But this is just the beginning.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Once Shangguan Xiao's case is overturned and key members of the Lu family are sent to jail, it will be enough to make those opportunists outside lean towards Li Fei!
It was also enough to make many officials on his side choose to betray him.

By then, it won’t just be Shangguan Xiao’s case.

As long as Li Fei strips off his official uniform, and with the Lu family targeting him, he will be completely doomed.

Having been a chess player for so many years, Lu Wenzhen could almost clearly see how Li Fei would "checkmate" him step by step!
Unfortunately, none of his countermeasures were effective.

After sitting in the office for more than ten minutes, Lu Wenzheng picked up the phone, turned the dial, and made a call:
"Where is he?"

"Speed ​​up and tell the other party to start the transaction tonight."

Under the night sky, the provincial capital of Feng Province is brightly lit.

In the lower city area, rickshaws rolled over the bluestone ground.

Pleasant music came from the stained glass windows of the "Hongxiu Ballroom". Girls in canary-colored cheongsams leaned against the vermilion railings and waved to the guests passing by below.

A thin man in a black robe walked into the door of the "Hongxiu Ballroom" with an indifferent expression.

The dance hall was crowded with people coming and going, but the crowd automatically made way for the man wherever he passed.

A gentle force quietly pushed these people away without anyone noticing anything unusual.

The man came to the corner of the lobby on the first floor and showed a small card to the two security guards guarding there.

The two security guards looked at the card and let the man walk into the corridor behind them.

The corridor was pitch black, with only a little light coming through the crack of the door at the end.

Without any hesitation, the man walked straight to the door at the end and pushed it open.

Inside the gate was a magnificent hall divided into two floors, with people standing on the stairs and the second floor.

At a glance, there were more than a dozen warriors.

The man glanced at these people with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He looked at the person in charge who was sitting on the sofa. He was an elderly man who was well-dressed.

The old man's name is Zhao Qidong. In the lower city district of the provincial capital, he is called "Master Dong" and is a well-known gangster.

But what Master Dong, what underworld boss, in the man's eyes, are all rotten fish and shrimp!
If he hadn't been concerned about the power behind the other party, he wouldn't have come here tonight to trade face to face with Zhao Qidong, and would have already been robbing his own gang!

"I guess this is the famous 'Black Demon'? Nice to meet you!"

Zhao Qidong took the initiative to stand up and saluted.

'Black Demon' Jiang Ye, a famous magic warrior in the world, is a martial arts master!
With Jiang Ye's level of strength, he is indeed qualified to look down on Zhao Qidong and others in front of him.

"You are not qualified to talk to me. Tell the person behind you to come out."

Jiang Ye ignored Zhao Qidong and walked straight to the sofa opposite and sat down.

Zhao Qidong's face froze and he looked a little annoyed.

He turned to look at Jiang Ye: "Brother Jiang, what do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ye did not make any move, and a piercing chill instantly enveloped the entire place.

Including Zhao Qidong, a master in the Dao Foundation Stage, all the warriors present felt cold all over, and their minds seemed to be immersed in ice-cold corpse water, filled with a foul odor!

Zhao Qidong's eyes went dark as he saw a huge hand with pale skin appear under his feet and grab him.

He was so frightened that he yelled and subconsciously wanted to burst out with all his strength to activate his extraordinary defensive ability.

However, a powerful suction force came from the palm below, sucking him firmly in place, and his explosive strength was quickly corroded.

Just when Zhao Qidong thought he was going to die, everything suddenly disappeared and he was back in the brightly lit hall again.

"Dao Jin?"

Zhao Qidong looked at Jiang Ye with horror in his eyes.

Jiang Ye didn't even look at him and said coldly:
"You are worthy of calling me your brother? If the people behind you don't come out within ten breaths, I will kill you all!"

Zhao Qidong suddenly broke out in a sweat.

He has been living a life of luxury over the years. Relying on his background, he has been doing well in the provincial capital and gradually feels that he is a big shot.

Now that he encountered a demonic warrior who had no rules at all, he realized that in front of a true strong man, he didn't even have the qualifications to stand and speak!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There was sudden applause from upstairs.

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes and looked up, only to see a middle-aged man with a strong build, dressed in brocade and with an extraordinary demeanor walking down calmly from the second floor.

"Miao Lang?"

Jiang Ye looked at the person who came and asked.

The visitor nodded. It was Miao Lang, the only martial arts master of the Lu family!
When he ran for the position of cabinet member of Feng Province's Blue Patrol Cabinet, he represented the Lu family in the election, but ultimately lost to Li Fei.

"Master Miao!"

When Zhao Qidong saw the person coming, he felt like he had found his backbone. He immediately gained confidence and shouted quickly.

His real background is the Lu family, and he is managing the underworld forces in the provincial capital on behalf of the Lu family.

But Miao Lang's next words shocked him:

"If Brother Jiang wants to kill someone, just do it."

When Jiang Ye heard this, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

He saw this as a provocation to himself!
This time, he still sat on the sofa without any movement, without using any supernatural abilities or any strength.

But suddenly, the whole hall became cold and gloomy.

More than a dozen warriors including Zhao Qidong suddenly groaned, and then fell down one after another. Everyone was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the blood was black!
Not only that, the bodies of these people also rotted rapidly and eventually turned into pools of corpse water!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ye and Miao Lang were the only two living people left.

Seeing Jiang Ye kill his own people, Miao Lang remained indifferent. He calmly walked to the sofa where Zhao Qidong had just sat and sat opposite Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye's body was tense and he was on alert.

He is only a martial arts master with a single magical power, while Miao Lang has dual magical powers. His combat power is one level higher than his, so he cannot afford to be careless.

"It's really not easy to invite Brother Jiang here."

Miao Lang said.

Jiang Ye is not a native warrior of Feng Province, but a giant of magic from other provinces.

The reason I came here across provinces this time was because I was attracted by a deal.

Magical warriors usually do not absorb the implants themselves, and then slowly cultivate and refine them within their bodies.

Instead, they directly plunder the mature implants in other people's bodies!

This method is certainly quick and can accomplish quick results, but it is also very risky, and can easily get out of control and lead to enmity.

In the martial arts world, almost everyone wants to kill the evil warriors!
Jiang Ye relied on chance and luck, went through countless hardships, and survived many dangers before he successfully built the foundation of Taoism and became a martial arts master.

But if he wants to go further, he needs to incorporate a third-grade implant.

The lower three-grade implants can be plundered by warriors in the Daoji period or Qibian period, but the middle three-grade implants can only be taken in by warriors who are also martial arts masters, so it is too difficult to plunder!

As for myself, I will incorporate it into the implant and practice slowly.

If it weren't for insufficient qualifications and insufficient resources, who would be willing to become a magic warrior?
Jiang Ye was very clear that with his own qualifications, if he did not follow the path of magic, it would be difficult for him to even become a martial artist at the foundation stage, let alone a martial arts master.

Therefore, it is not feasible for him to practice on his own.

It is also for this reason that, throughout history, the upper limit of most magic warriors has been limited to masters of martial arts with a single magical power.

But in history, some great masters of magic have found other ways and come up with other methods.

Cultivate implants in alien beasts!

Ordinary people have weak physiques and can only accept lower third-grade implants at the beginning.

Once you become a warrior and already have implants in your body, if you insert a mid-level third-grade implant, the implants will conflict due to the difference in grade, and you will not be able to practice further.

But this problem does not exist for alien beasts. Even alien beasts of the lower three grades can theoretically directly withstand middle three grade implants.

Using special methods, he cultivated the third-grade implants he needed in the bodies of some strange beasts. After the implants were mature, he used magic martial arts to directly plunder them.

This is the 'road to heaven' thought up by the 'sages' of the magic path!
Among the 'three evil demons', except for the 'Old Ancestor of the Styx' who is a warlock of the True One Realm, the other two evil demons are both magic warriors who used this 'road to the sky' to reach the realm of martial saints!

This method doesn't even require making enemies with anyone or killing anyone, and it seems perfect.

But the only problem is - exotic beasts are precious resources no matter where they are. How can you, a magic warrior, have such resources?

For the "righteous forces" who control most of the cultivation resources, no one will take the initiative to walk the evil path unless they have no other choice.

Because practicing the path of magic is too risky, every time you break through, you are risking your life, it's a gamble with your life!
The same amount of resources, if used on a group of talented people, may have the opportunity to train more than a dozen Qi Bian period warriors, and maybe even Dao Ji period warriors.

But if it is used to train magic warriors, you may end up losing all your money and gaining nothing.

Therefore, basically no major force will actively cultivate magic warriors, the cost-effectiveness is too low!

And if it is exposed accidentally, your reputation will be ruined.

But nothing is absolute in this world, there are always exceptions.

For example, a "second generation" of a certain powerful force, who has poor aptitude, is willing to gamble his life in order to become stronger.

Therefore, the only way out for this "second generation" is to take the path of magic.

In this case, this powerful force might secretly breed exotic beasts specifically for the magic warriors to plunder, which are called "magic beasts".

Because the failure rate of magic warriors in the process of plundering implants and integrating them into themselves is very high, so a few more of the same "feeding monsters" are needed.

And if during this process, the 'second generation' of this powerful force suddenly fails to break through and dies suddenly.

What should we do with the remaining "Monster Feeders" that have not been used yet?
The third-grade implants cultivated in their bodies can only be used by magic warriors. It would be a waste if we just kill them and leave them alone.

As a result, over time, the business of "raising monsters" gradually emerged in the world.

Those big forces that secretly bred the "Demon Beasts" and suddenly have no use for them will choose to sell the "Demon Beasts" to magic warriors in need.

Jiang Ye came here just to 'feed the monsters'.

He was not willing to stay at his current level forever, so he kept asking if there was a 'feedable monster' that he needed.

Since he is already a martial arts master, it is actually very easy for him to get money.

He had already saved enough money to buy the "Monster Feeder", but he just lacked the channel.

More than two months ago, after much twists and turns, he heard that someone in Feng Province wanted to sell "feeding monsters", and the third-grade implants cultivated in their bodies were just what he could use.

So he contacted the middleman and eventually came to the provincial capital of Feng Province to trade with Zhao Qidong.

As a martial artist of the magic path, Jiang Ye is cautious enough.

Before coming, he found out that Zhao Qidong's real backer was the Lu family, which was why he did not directly rob his fellow criminals.

Although he is a dragon from another country, he cannot defeat the local snake Lu family.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you really have what I want, then name a price."

Jiang Ye was straightforward.

Miao Lang nodded: "Of course we have the stuff. Since you know we are behind Zhao Qidong, you should believe that we have the strength to do it. As for the price of this stuff, we need Brother Jiang to help us with something."

Jiang Ye was not surprised to hear this.

Forces that can afford to cultivate "feeding monsters" are basically not short of money.

Therefore, many transactions related to "raising magical beasts" often require the help of the magic warriors involved in the transaction.

"what's up?"

"Help with someone."

"Who?"

"Detective He Jian."

"You want me to kill a cabinet official?!"

Jiang Ye's face changed, his expression became fierce, and the murderous intent in his eyes was almost tangible.

He Jian had solved several major cases involving demonic warriors, so Jiang Ye paid special attention to this famous detective.

He also knew that the other party had just been promoted not long ago and was now Lord He!

Being a demonic warrior doesn't mean you are truly lawless.

Not long ago, the newly promoted "evil demon" Qiming was executed, and the court's deterrence against Jiang Ye and other evil demons has just reached a new peak!
In this situation, let alone Jiang Ye, even the other three "evil demons" would probably not dare to kill a cabinet official.

"Brother Jiang, you misunderstood. I didn't ask you to kill anyone."

Miao Lang shook his head. "I know that Brother Jiang has extraordinary magical powers, so I want you to secretly make He Jian sick. He doesn't need to die, just keep him bedridden for a few months."

When Jiang Ye heard this, his eyes kept changing.

He is nicknamed 'Black Demon God' because his magical power is called - [Devil God].

It can cause severe corrosion to the target both physically and mentally!

The most terrifying thing about the [Evil God]'s magical power is not the frontal attack, but the sneak attack.

Jiang Ye can use [Evil God] to trick people without anyone noticing.

Because it is a supernatural power, martial arts are ineffective, supernatural abilities are ineffective, and medicine is ineffective!
Even those martial arts masters who have no defense or life-related magical powers, after being hit by the [Evil God], will need to pay a huge price to completely get rid of it.

Some people who had offended Jiang Ye fell ill for unknown reasons and died miserably. Only afterwards did people realize that it was Jiang Ye who had secretly taken action.

Therefore, the reputation of the "Black Evil God" makes many people shudder!

Now Miao Lang asked him to deal with a Taoist foundation warrior. He thought it would be no problem at all and he could easily capture him without letting the other party notice anything unusual.

Moreover, it was not murder, it just made He Jian sick for a few months. This result was not bad and would not cause a strong reaction from the government.

But Jiang Ye still had concerns in his heart.

Because of one person——Li Fei!
"Is He Jian investigating a case for Marquis Jing'an now?"

Jiang Ye stared at Miao Lang and asked.

Miao Lang smiled: "You are well-informed."

Jiang Ye sneered.

The news that Marquis Jing'an was going to deal with the Lu family had long been no secret in the martial arts world!

"As long as you do this, we can give you four of the 'Monster Feeders' you requested."

Miao Lang knew Jiang Ye's concerns, so he directly increased the stakes and added a "feeding monster" on the original basis.

Jiang Ye was moved.

The magic warriors are fighting for their lives with their heads on their belts.

As long as the benefits are big enough, even the King of Hell dares to stroke his beard!
"Six 'Monster Feeders', I will specify the types of implants!"

Jiang Ye said.

In his case, he estimated that he would only need two identical 'Monster Feeders' to successfully incorporate an implant.

So if this deal goes through, he can successfully incorporate three implants at once!

The number of implants on the martial arts side does not need to be as many as on the magic side.

Some magical powers can be cultivated with only three to four mid-level third-grade implants.

Jiang Ye had previously successfully incorporated a mid-level third-grade implant. If he could incorporate three more, he would be able to try to refine a second magical power!

For him, this is worth a try.

At worst, I can just finish this order and stay away from it.

No matter how powerful you are, Marquis Jing'an, can you still hunt me down all over the world because of something like this?
"Okay, deal!"

Miao Lang nodded without hesitation and agreed to Jiang Ye's request.

That night, Zhao Qidong, a gangster from Xiacheng District, disappeared along with a dozen of his men.

This immediately caused turmoil in the underworld of Feng Province, because everyone knew that the Lu family was behind Zhao Qidong.

"Could it be that the Marquis of Jing'an is also preparing to take action against the Lu family in terms of martial arts power?"

For a time, many people had similar speculations.

Many people began to take the initiative to contact Qingmian Villa in Datong Prefecture, preparing to "join the army" in advance.

Two days later, He Jian, who was interrogating Lu Yuqi, suddenly fell ill.
