Chapter 372: Killing (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
A man in black was running wildly on the long street shrouded in the darkness.
A team of armored soldiers appeared at the end of the long street. They were the Daxuan Imperial Guards patrolling the city.
When the man in black saw the Great Xuan Imperial Guards, he not only did not stop, but his eyes revealed a look of surprise at surviving a calamity.
He ran wildly towards the Daxuan Imperial Army, and even had the energy to look back at Su Mu who was catching up with him.
"If you can't kill me today, I will grind you to dust and avenge my other brothers someday!"
The man in black said to himself.
suddenly.
The speed of Su Mu in his eyes suddenly increased, and he appeared behind him like a gust of wind.
He slashed with his sword without any expression on his face.
The Blood-Drinking Sword was surrounded by thunder, fire, and wind, and it came rolling wildly.
The man in black only had time to turn around and block.
But the long sword in his hand exploded under the violent power of the Blood Drinking Sword.
Puff puff!
The broken blades all shot into the back of the man in black.
He threw himself forward.
"help me--"
He lay on the ground, stretched out his hand to the Great Xuan Imperial Guards, his eyes full of desire for life.
Su Mu took a step forward and stepped on his back.
"Leave people under the knife!"
Among the Daxuan Imperial Guards, a figure stood out from the crowd, rushed towards the two of them, and shouted loudly.
Su Mu raised his head and glanced at the other person indifferently.
Swish!
The blood-drinking knife swung down.
The black-clothed man's head was separated from his body in an instant, and rolled down, with blood spilling all over the street.
The armored general of the imperial guards stopped and looked at the head that rolled to his feet. His face instantly turned gloomy.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
He raised his head and looked at Su Mu, his eyes full of anger.
"You, what do you think you are?"
Su Mu shook his wrist lightly, shaking off the blood on the blade.
The Blood Drinking Sword regained its brightness, and Su Mu sheathed the sword, speaking without any fluctuation in his tone.
"you--"
The commander of the imperial guards was furious. He grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist and pulled out a part of the blade.
"Draw your sword on me, and you will die."
Su Mu said lightly, without paying any attention to the other party, and directly touched the body of the man in black, and put what he touched into his arms.
The commander of the imperial guards was frightened by the murderous aura of Su Mu, and he couldn't pull out the sword that was half drawn.
His forehead was covered with dense beads of cold sweat, and he felt like he was falling into an icy cave.
"If you don't agree, let your general come to me."
After searching the body of the man in black, Su Mu stood up and said as he walked, "I am Su Mu."
Accompanied by the two words "Su Mu", Su Mu passed by the imperial guard general, and then went straight through the imperial guard team behind him.
Dozens of imperial guards didn't even dare to stop him.
Gudong.
It was not until Su Mu disappeared at the end of the long street that the imperial guard general swallowed his saliva, shook his whole body, and regained his freedom.
very scary!
There was a moment of fear in his heart.
He was the commander of the imperial guards after all, yet he felt so weak in front of him.
What is the origin of the other party?
How dare you kill people in the street!
The tattered clothes on him look a bit like the brocade and black shirt of the Taiping Division?
Su Mu?
The imperial guards commander's pupils suddenly contracted.
The commander of the Taiping Division, a genius of the time, a newly promoted Jindan realm expert?
It's him!
…………
On the way back to the Taiping Division Headquarters, Su Mu reviewed tonight's actions.
He was a little careless after all.
After obtaining the list of names and account books from Hou Wukou, he should first reunite with Shi Binbin and others before taking any action.
But in that case, the account books and lists might be snatched away by the men in black first.
The water in the capital is indeed too deep.
Unless you do nothing, you are bound to come into conflict with these people.
Tonight I had enough trump cards and I dared to fight hard, so I was able to win by chance.
It seems that I have won a great victory, but the price I paid was not small.
Not to mention that tonight was a waste of time, all the account books and rosters are lost.
It was him. He looked unharmed on the outside, but was badly damaged on the inside.
It would take at least ten days or half a month to recover the lost energy and blood, and it would require taking some expensive tonic medicines.
The biggest loss is the golden statue of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth.
The golden statue of the Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth was broken once again. This time, he even lost the incense and prayer power needed to repair the golden statue.
Although his true essence cultivation had broken through to the Jindan realm, the Golden Body of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Earth was still his important trump card. Without the Golden Body of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Earth, he would have one less trump card.
Not to mention, the Golden Body of Heaven and Earth helped him many times.
In the recent battles, if he didn't have the Golden Body of Heaven and Earth, he would never have won so easily, or might not even have won.
I don’t know how much effort it will take to cultivate the Golden Body of Heaven and Earth again.
"Since you guys want to play, I'll play with you guys."
Su Mu sneered in his heart, today's matter will not end here.
Although the roster and account books are gone, the identities of those men in black are no longer a secret.
Someone has to take the blame for this!
Otherwise, these people really think that Su Mu is easy to bully!
…………
When Su Mu returned to the Taiping Division's headquarters, Shi Binbin and others had already returned.
The people who went to hunt down Hou Wuque also came back.
"The White Lotus Envoy of the Pure Land Sect was rescued by someone. The identity of the person who rescued him is unknown. They are all deadly warriors and did not leave any effective clues."
The commander named Cheng Hao said with some shame, "I messed it up."
He was the commander of the Taiping Division, but he went to hunt down a man whose cultivation had been destroyed by Su Mu, and in the end he failed.
He himself felt that it was a bit hard to justify.
"We have searched the Pure Land Sect's base thoroughly, but we haven't found any clues. Hou Wuque is indeed very cautious."
Shi Binbin also spoke with a disappointed look on his face.
After working all night, I got almost nothing.
"I originally found the list and account book hidden by Hou Wuque, but in the end I was ambushed by eight Jindan realm masters, and both the list and account book were destroyed."
Su Mu also spoke slowly, "This matter involves more people than we thought. The other party's power is extraordinary. In such a hurry, we can still make all our actions fail."
Shi Binbin, Cheng Hao and others suddenly widened their eyes.
"You were ambushed? An ambush by eight Jindan realm masters?"
Shi Binbin couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you come back?"
He looked at Su Mu and it seemed that Su Mu was not seriously hurt.
"Kill them all, and then I'll come back."
Su Mu said calmly. Everyone looked at each other.
If you kill them all, they will naturally come back. This makes so much sense.
"You mean, you killed all eight Jindan realm masters who ambushed you?"
Shi Binbin swallowed, his eyes full of disbelief.
Before, at the main yamen, Su Mu broke the joint attack formation of Lu Sishou and seven others, but he didn’t kill all seven of them in the end.
This is still within the Taiping Division's headquarters, which has the advantage of geographical location and people's support.
Eight Jindan realms——
Shi Binbin felt cold all over just thinking about it.
"how did you do it?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Kill them one by one."
Su Mu said, "I was also injured and almost fell."
He looked serious, but everyone else looked disbelieving.
Are you sure you are injured?
I can't tell at all.
Shi Binbin and others looked at each other. It seemed that it didn’t matter how Su Mu did it. What mattered was that he did it.
Although other things were not accomplished today, I have managed to establish my authority.
"The roster and account book are lost, and the people are lost too. What should we do now?"
Cheng Hao spoke up.
Originally, today's mission was mainly to establish authority and let the world know that the Taiping Division had two more Jindan realm masters.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, overall, the goal was achieved.
The question now is whether to continue the investigation.
It is well known to everyone that there are people in the capital who are colluding with the Pure Land Sect.
But there is no end to this kind of thing.
As long as nothing serious happens, the Taiping Division will turn a blind eye.
It’s not that they are unwilling to investigate, but the case involves too many people and the Taiping Division does not have enough manpower.
The monsters in the Demon Court alone are enough to make the Taiping Division overwhelmed.
"There are no clues. Even if we want to investigate, we can't do anything. We can't arrest all the ministers and torture them, right?
In fact, many people who have received benefits from Pure Land Buddhism may not really be willing to work for it. They are just too greedy.”
Shi Binbin said.
“I estimate that there are many people who have accepted money from the Pure Land Sect, otherwise it would not be so easy to get a death row prisoner out of the Heavenly Prison.
If they really investigate further, I'm afraid there will be a big earthquake in the court."
Cheng Hao said, "The Lords are not in the capital, I'm afraid we can't suppress this matter."
The meaning revealed in the two people's words and deeds was that they did not recommend further investigation.
Although today's events seemed to have gone wrong, they actually did not suffer any loss.
Instead, the other side suffered heavy losses.
The Pure Land Sect's stronghold was eliminated, the White Lotus Envoy's cultivation was abolished, and more than a dozen Jindan realm powerhouses were lost.
A dozen or so Jindan realm cultivators would be a serious blow to any force.
Moreover, Su Mu also gained a reputation.
"Now all forces are maintaining a delicate balance."
Shi Binbin said, “It may be the best option to stop here for today’s matter.
Right now, our Taiping Division's main focus is still on the border, and the Demon Court is our biggest enemy, so we shouldn't expand this matter."
"To be honest, if we kill all the officials in the court, there will definitely be some innocent people, but if we kill every one of them, there will definitely be some who slip through the net."
Cheng Hao sighed, "But we can't do that. If we really do that, Daxuan will collapse on its own without the Demon Court having to break through the border."
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry that I will force you."
Su Mu said.
Shi Binbin and Cheng Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They all understood Su Mu's style. When he was in Wuling and Songjiang Prefecture, he had taken advantage of the situation and killed many people.
However, this method is not suitable for use in the capital.
To put it bluntly, which high-ranking official in Beijing does not have family support?
These aristocratic families may look ordinary on the surface, but the waters behind them are unfathomable.
Even if it's just on the surface, which family that can be called a noble family doesn't have a powerful Nascent Soul master in charge?
If they are pushed to the limit, these aristocratic families will unite and might even bring about a change of dynasty.
Just looking at the fact that they could easily send out eight Jindan realm powerhouses to ambush Su Mu overnight, we can see their strength.
"but--"
Su Mu said slowly.
Shi Binbin and Cheng Hao's worries, which had just been put at ease, were weighed down again.
"But what?"
Shi Binbin said.
"But I have never suffered such a big loss. Someone has to compensate me for assassinating me. Someone has to take the blame."
Su Mu said calmly.
"What do you want to do?"
Shi Binbin and Cheng Hao couldn't help but ask.
He just said that he wouldn't do anything reckless, but now it sounds like he's ready to use force.
"I was besieged by eight Jindan realm masters, and the imperial guards patrolling the city took a whole stick of incense to arrive. Does this count as dereliction of duty?"
Su Mu said calmly, "Is it a dereliction of duty for the Imperial Guards to let eight Jindan realm masters into the city?"
"Do you want the Imperial Guards to take the blame?"
Shi Binbin and Cheng Hao both had thoughtful looks on their faces.
They were only thinking about tracking down who the Pure Land Sect had bribed, and had not thought of this idea.
In a sense, this was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the Imperial Guards.
The Daxuan Imperial Guards were in charge of patrolling the capital city. They had allowed eight Jindan realm masters to cause such a big commotion in the capital city, but they didn't even notice it. What were they supposed to do?
"Those Imperial Guards won't surrender easily."
Shi Binbin said thoughtfully. "Letting someone sneak into the city would only result in a few months' salary deduction, which is nothing to them."
"The one who sneaked into the city is not an ordinary person."
Su Mu said, "Eight Jindan realm masters, how did they sneak into the city? And who ordered them to assassinate me? Our Taiping Division cannot investigate, so we will force the Imperial Guards to investigate.
I was assassinated in the territory they are responsible for. They have to give an explanation to me, the victim, right?
I will force them to find out who is the mastermind behind those eight Jindan realm masters.
If they don’t want to investigate, they have to give me adequate compensation.”
Shi Binbin and Cheng Hao looked at each other.
Does this work too?
It seems that it is indeed possible.
They had never thought of doing this before.
After all, the Taiping Division is a military department, and it always wants to solve problems on its own, and has never thought about doing anything about the responsibilities of other departments.
To be honest, eight Jindan realm powerhouses in the capital attacked and killed the commander of the Taiping Division. It took the patrolling imperial guards an incense stick of time to arrive at the scene. No matter what, the imperial guards must give an explanation to the Taiping Division.
There may be many forces involved behind those eight Jindan realm masters. Even the Taiping Division is unwilling to touch these forces, but the Imperial Guards are willing to do so?
They certainly don't want to track down the forces behind the eight Jindan realm masters. In this way, they can only bear the blame themselves.
"I found that being your enemy would be a real headache."
Shi Binbin looked at Su Mu with a strange expression and said, "You have enough strength, and you are not afraid of playing tricks. The most important thing is that you are shameless. Who can beat you?"
