Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

Chapter 84 I want Li Fu to live no more than ten days.

"Some people in the court were so afraid of this that they dared not talk about it."

Everyone says that their superiors, colleagues, subordinates, or even their servants and concubines might be among those gathered at this event.

Feng Shaoting gave a cold laugh at this point.

"It is also rumored that this Jinglong Society, imitating the imperial court, has as many branch hall masters as there are prefectures in the world, and as many prefectures like myself, to handle all matters related to the imperial court and the martial arts world within their respective prefectures."

They lay in wait, having already placed the world in their grasp, waiting only for what they deemed the opportune moment to strike, seize control, and take over the realm.

He changed the subject.

"Of course, that's an exaggeration."

Hmph, it's probably just a rumor spread by the Dragon Shock Society to boost their influence and win people over; it shouldn't be taken too seriously.

However, its dangers certainly require extreme vigilance.

Li Fu frowned: "How come I've never heard a word about such a large rebel organization before, whether I was involved in the martial arts world or the government?"

"This is the court's consideration."

Feng Shaoting explained, "This matter involves the serious crime of treason, and is therefore of great importance."

On the one hand, the imperial court secretly made every effort to investigate and suppress the crime, and on the other hand, it deliberately suppressed the spread of the news.

To avoid alerting the enemy and attracting troublemakers or ambitious individuals who might embolden them, thus increasing their influence.

Now that you have made a significant contribution, I will draft a detailed report and submit it to the court.

Rest assured, this merit will certainly be recorded for you.

He steered the conversation back to the case.

"The Immortal's Fall that the Dragon Society is plotting this time" is something even more extraordinary.

If they obtain the antidote formula and then find a way to keep it a secret from everyone, they can use it without any scruples.

Dealing with martial arts masters would be much easier, and it would be of great help in preventing them from committing heinous acts in the future.

"Your ability to thwart their plot, prevent the Dragon Shock Society from obtaining the antidote formula, and cover up their crime by killing them afterward, is undoubtedly a great achievement!"

Feng Shaoting emphasized.

"However, the matter concerning the Dragon Shock Society is of great importance."

You must strictly order your officers involved in this case to keep their mouths shut and not discuss it openly, so as to avoid causing unnecessary panic or trouble.

After explaining these things, he looked at Li Fu with gentle eyes, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity.

"Logically speaking, given your current rank, I should not be discussing such confidential matters with you."

However, Officer Li, you are young and promising, with exceptional courage and martial arts skills. Your future is limitless.

"I value it very much —"

"You flatter me, sir. It is my duty, and I dare not claim credit for it."

Li Fu could not help but understand the recruiting intent in his words, but he remained calm and did not respond. After chatting for a few more minutes, he stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

"If you have no further instructions, sir, I shall take my leave now. The key evidence still needs to be organized and filed."

Feng Shaoting's smile remained unchanged.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

You've worked hard this time, so please get some rest.

After Li Fu's footsteps faded into the distance and the back hall door closed, Dead Man's Sword, who had been silent as a stone, suddenly spoke, his voice dry and cold, like a piece of iron slowly rubbing together.

"The adults repeatedly showed them goodwill, but he pretended not to know and didn't appreciate it."

This person deserves to die!

Feng Shaoting turned around, looked at his inseparable shadow retainer, shook his head and smiled, "You're quite talkative today."

This isn't like you.

You have always been indifferent to such matters.

The Dead Man's Sword remained silent, and in the shadows, his fingers, which were resting on the sword, tightened slightly for a moment.

Feng Shaoting understood and laughed, "What do you mean by ungrateful? You're just using the excuse of helping me, but you're just greedy for a piece of the action, aren't you?"

Your Dead Man's Sword Technique has always been nourished by the blood of masters.

Li Fu's martial arts skills were so formidable that even Elder Tianpeng was killed by his palm strike. You must be itching to try and defeat him with your sword, right?

The Dead Man's Sword remained silent, but that silence itself seemed to be an answer.

Feng Shaoting said no more, his gaze drifting to the garden outside the window, and sighed, "Even the legendary master of the Southwest martial arts world—Elder Tianpeng—died at his hands. Such martial arts skills are truly astonishing!"

After leaving the back hall of the government office.

Li Fu walked along the corridor shaded by bamboo and cypress trees, his mind filled with the information Feng Shaoting had just revealed.

The fact that the imperial court had known about the existence of the Jinglong Society for a long time, and had intentionally suppressed the news and secretly suppressed and appeased it for many years, reveals a chilling implication upon closer examination.

"The Dragon Shock Society is far more than just an ordinary rebel group."

The fact that the imperial court treats this matter with such caution, and even shows some apprehension, suggests that the foundation and power of the Jinglong Society probably far exceed my previous estimates.

Having thwarted their grand plan to bring down the immortals, and having even killed two key figures, Dai Yue and Elder Tianpeng, their retaliation will surely be fierce and swift.

Li Fu took a deep breath, his eyes showing no fear, only determination.

"If you want revenge, then come on."

"I actually wanted the Buddha's Palm technique!"

The residence of Wang Chongyu, the envoy of the Flower and Stone Transport, was located on the most magnificent East Street in Pingliang County.

With its vermilion gates and high walls, flying eaves and bracket sets, and two stone lions baring their teeth and claws in front of the gate, even an ordinary county government office might not have such imposing presence.

As dusk approached, the mansion was already brightly lit. Maids and servants moved about, holding their breath and making very light footsteps, for fear of disturbing the master in the inner hall who was in a very bad mood.

The interior was spacious and luxurious, covered with velvet carpets from the Western Regions and decorated with rare stones and exotic trees collected from all over the world, all of which were obtained under the guise of the "Flower and Stone Tribute" to line their own pockets.

-

Wang Chongyu, dressed in a brocade robe, had no interest in appreciating these refined pleasures. He paced back and forth in the empty and somewhat deserted hall with his hands behind his back.

The candlelight cast his bulky figure onto the wall, making him flicker like a vengeful ghost.

Looking at the opulent hall and the vast mansion, he felt only a cold emptiness in his heart.

This mansion should have originally housed a young master in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, surrounded by friends, and filled with the laughter and mischief of his son.

But now, there's nothing left.

His only son, the sole heir of the family, whom he had painstakingly arranged to move from his family home in Suzhou to this lucrative Pingliang County, hoping that his son could gain experience under his guidance and eventually take over the family business—but he died!

He died at the hands of a lowly, insignificant constable named Li Fu!

"Li Fu—Li Fu!"

Wang Chongyu abruptly stopped, spitting out the name through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot and filled with resentment.

"A constable from humble beginnings, a mere ant, dared to kill my son!"

You killed my son, Wang Chongyu! I will kill you!

I'll make sure you die a gruesome death, and your whole family is buried with you!

His chest heaved violently, and his voice echoed in the empty hall like the roar of a wounded beast.

Wang Fu, the butler standing to the side, was a pale-faced, thin old man with sweat beading on his forehead and his back bent so low he was almost folded in half. He kept advising him.

"Master, please calm down! Please take care of yourself! That man surnamed Li is ignorant and arrogant; he will be punished by Heaven, he will be punished by Heaven—"

"Heaven's judgment? I can't wait for heaven's judgment!"

Wang Chongyu suddenly flicked his sleeve, knocking over an exquisite jade pot vase on the table beside him. With a crisp crack, shards flew everywhere, but he didn't care at all.

"I have already posted a reward."

One thousand taels is not enough, so I'll offer two thousand taels. If two thousand taels is not enough, I'll offer five thousand. Now I've increased the reward all the way up to ten thousand taels of gold!

With a fortune of ten thousand taels of gold, no desperate outlaw in the martial world would resist such a windfall!

But I fear that no expert will quickly accept this bounty to avenge my son and quell the hatred in my heart!

I'm going to make sure that Li Fu doesn't live past this month!

No, he won't live more than ten days!

The fat on his face contorted and trembled with extreme anger.
