Crossing the Sword

The wind was very cold at night. The temperature difference between day and night in Youdu was very large, and many families had already lit stoves to keep warm. However, such a cold wind was nothing to masters with innate cultivation. Ye Shisan walked alone on the deserted street, holding a sword in his arms. He picked it up at random from Ou Feng's blacksmith shop. It was not a good one, but it was enough to kill people.

He didn't care about the cold wind blowing past his face, because his sword energy was much colder than the wind.

The few pedestrians on the roadside seemed to sense the coldness emanating from him and retreated to the sides, making the already deserted street even more desolate.

Ye Shisan wanted to settle accounts with Susano and destroy his place. He originally did not intend to do so. After all, considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it was not appropriate to force it like this. Killing Susano openly during the duel was the right way. But he did not expect that Susano would actually kill Ou Feng!

He didn't want this to happen to other people again, so he decided to change from passive to active and make trouble for him. If the Black Emperor really investigated, he would also report that Susano killed Ou Feng. Tian Zhi Mu Yun was the physical evidence, and with Ling Fei as the witness, the Black Emperor couldn't help but believe it.

After turning a corner, he saw that the door of the "Ridoujin" casino not far away was closed. Although it was already night, it was the busiest time of the day for the casino, so why was it closed? What was Susakusa trying to do? Ye Shisan began to wonder, "Could it be that Susakusa knew I was coming and deliberately closed the casino and set up a trap inside? But if that was the case, I'm afraid I need to re-evaluate Susakusa's IQ."

But he was not scared off. He was convinced that as long as he was careful, even if there was an ambush, Susano would not be able to do anything to him. Besides, being scared off by a possible trap was not his character. Thinking of this, he shouted, "Susano, you bastard, come out!" and kicked the door of the casino.

The door had been locked in place, and the bolt was made of iron, very strong. Ye Shisan kicked the bolt, but failed to break it. Instead, the entire door flew out and hit a gambling table, smashing it to pieces. The scene before him made Ye Shisan gasp, and the murderous aura he had before disappeared.

There were more than a hundred dead bodies scattered all over the casino floor. Although Ye Shisan had killed many people before, he had never been a soldier or a warrior. It was the first time he had seen such a spectacular scene of more than a hundred dead bodies piled up in one room.

Who did it? Along the way, he did not find anything unusual, that is, when these people died, they did not alarm the outsiders. Being able to kill more than a hundred people silently, Ye Shisan asked himself that it would be difficult for him to do so. The murderer was obviously a master. Zhang Tianya sighed and thought: "Susanoo has done many evil things. Today, a master came to find him. This is also the retribution he deserves. But isn't this retribution a little too great? After all, those gamblers are innocent."

After a quick inspection of one of the bodies, Ye Shisan found a long narrow wound on the neck of the body, below the right ear, which seemed to be scratched by a sharp weapon. The wound was not deep, and the blood flowing from it had turned black, which clearly showed that the person died of poisoning. He scanned the body with his Sky Eye and confirmed that there were no other wounds on the body, and the blood on the body was gray-black, indicating that the person died of poisoning.

"What kind of poison is this? It's so powerful." Zhang Tianya muttered to himself as he examined the second body. He came to the same conclusion as the first one, and then the third and fourth. All the people died of the same cause, even the wounds were the same. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar face. It was Suzuki's only son, Sumi, whose death was the same as the others.

"It seems that Susanoo is not at home, otherwise, with so many people dead, he would not have not come out." He shook his head helplessly, feeling sorry for those innocent gamblers.

He sighed and was about to leave when he heard a commotion, and then more than 20 constables rushed over. One of them recognized Ye Shisan and shouted, "Ye Shisan from Shennong? I didn't expect you to be so cruel and murderous that you killed so many people from Sanmiao. Catch him now!"

Ye Shisan immediately realized that he had fallen into someone's trap. This trap was too obvious, but it usually worked. The first person he thought of was Susano, because he had not offended anyone since Hell, only Susano. And he was the one who was most likely to guess that he would cause trouble. Moreover, Susano had been defeated by Ye Shisan's sword, so in order to avoid being killed in the duel, the possibility of setting up this trap was also the greatest.

However, what he never expected was that Susanoo could be so cruel. The saying "even a tiger won't eat its own cubs" obviously does not apply to him.

Although he knew it was useless, Zhang Tianya still defended himself by saying, "I didn't kill these people."

"Still trying to quibble?" The detectives had already drawn their weapons and surrounded Ye Shisan. The leader said coldly, "You are the only one at the crime scene now. This is the evidence! You have the right to remain silent because it is useless for you to say anything now! Capture him!"

"Wait!" Ye Shisan raised his hand to stop them. The detectives were all stunned, not knowing what else he was going to say. Looking at the nervous looks of the detectives, Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and said, "I want to see the Black Emperor." As a high-ranking official of Shennong State, his request was reasonable when faced with such a situation.

In the study room of the Black Emperor's palace, everyone else was sent out, leaving only the Black Emperor and Zhang Tianya in the room. Ye Shisan faced the most bitter-faced and face-conscious Black Emperor Zhuanxu among the strongest men in the world. He bowed and performed a diplomatic etiquette and said, "Your Majesty the Black Emperor, I think you have heard about the 'Daily Gold' incident. I want to defend myself, because I did not kill anyone, and the evidence is not enough to convict me."

The Black Emperor sat in the chair expressionlessly, so cold that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking. He glanced at Ye Shisan nonchalantly and uttered two words: "You say."

Although Ye Shisan was very unhappy with his expression, now was not the time to worry about it. He immediately said, "First, when I went there, these people were already dead. And before I entered the door, I cursed loudly. I believe someone in the nearby houses would have heard it. Also, when I arrived, the door was already locked, and I kicked it open. And when I arrived, the people inside had been dead for a long time. If you do an autopsy, it is not difficult to find this."

Black Emperor's face remained calm. After listening to Ye Shisan's explanation, he said, "There are indeed many suspicious points in this matter, but it is undeniable that up to now, you are the most suspicious."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "On the surface, it does seem so, but the constables came just after I arrived. Isn't the timing a little too coincidental?"

The Black Emperor asked back, "You mean, someone is deliberately framing you?"
