Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor.

There are all kinds of escape techniques under heaven.

Cloud escapes, mist escapes, wind escapes, the great five elements escape, light riding and rainbow transformation, each has its own mystery, unparalleled in术法.

There is no distinction between high and low among escape techniques. The ones that are used well are the truly good escape techniques.

Right now, he is using the top-tier great escape technique, "Shit and Piss Escape," which is widely circulated, enduring, and extremely useful.

This escape technique has been used more or less by everyone from children to the elderly.

Having to relieve oneself is one of life's urgencies, a common human experience.

Wu Chuanfeng was initially somewhat stunned.

But thinking that Qiu Zhen had traveled all the way, covered in dust, it was normal for him to have some internal urgency, so he didn't say much.

Moreover, he was the young master's private soldier, knew some inside information, and knew that his young master planned to investigate Qiu Zhen.

He usually had a good relationship with Qiu Zhen, so he felt a little unnatural at this moment.

Right now, the person has arrived at the Demon Suppression Division, can't run away at all, and can't send out any news, so there's no need to worry about anything.

Immediately, a group of Demon Suppression martial artists accompanied Qiu Zhen to the outhouse.

Saying it was accompaniment, in reality, it was surveillance.

They even used magical artifacts.

If one were to use spells in the outhouse to try to escape, or to transmit messages, that would be wishful thinking.

"Good fellow, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger. This Demon Suppression Division is really heartless, turning their faces so quickly!"

Qiu Zhen, squatting in the outhouse, feet straddling both sides of the river, secretly slandered.

He hadn't thought about escaping from the Demon Suppression Division, this dragon's pool and tiger's den, and fleeing far away.

With his current strength, if he were to forcibly resist, it would undoubtedly be a path to death.

As for transmitting messages, he didn't need to cast spells at all.

After knowing that things had changed, he called out in his spiritual platform sea of consciousness, notifying Bai Shu to report to the An residence.

Right now, he only needed to delay time.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Perhaps the time was too long, Wu Chuanfeng was getting a little anxious waiting outside the outhouse.

"Sir, are you not done yet? Vice Commander Lin knows you've arrived and has sent people to urge you."

"Coming, coming, you people keep urging, urging, urging even when someone's using the outhouse."

Qiu Zhen calculated the speed at which Bai Shu was rushing with all his might, and had a vague idea in his mind. Immediately, he pushed open the outhouse door, looked at the group of Demon Suppression martial artists in the courtyard who hadn't dispersed, and looked somewhat displeased:

"Why are you all gathered here? I'm here to treat illnesses and exorcise evil for you, yet you treat me as if I'm a criminal, monitoring me at all times, not letting me out of your sight."

"Heh heh, what's wrong with you people today? Why are you treating me like this?"

"This..."

The group of Demon Suppression martial artists flushed red, feeling somewhat embarrassed, not daring to look Qiu Zhen in the eyes, each lowering their heads, focusing their gaze on their noses.

Wu Chuanfeng also felt somewhat unnatural in his heart, and flattered with a smile:

"Sir, misunderstanding, you've misunderstood. It's just that Vice Commander Lin is urging us anxiously. We are all acting on orders."

"Heh heh!"

Qiu Zhen sneered, his tone very displeased:

"Lead the way then."

"This way, sir."

The group of Demon Suppression martial artists had obsequious expressions, leading Qiu Zhen to a side room in the left courtyard of the Demon Suppression Division.

Qiu Zhen had some understanding of the Division's yamen from exorcising evil and treating illnesses in the Demon Suppression Division, and knowing that they weren't taking him to the Demon Suppression prison, he relaxed slightly in his heart.

It hadn't reached the point of "the map is unrolled, revealing the dagger."

Being able to argue a bit after entering the Demon Suppression Division could be considered "good fortune," something he had earned through his usual free clinics and medical practice to save people.

Otherwise, with the Demon Suppression Division's overbearing nature, suspicion would have been enough to throw someone into prison for interrogation, which was commonplace.

Before long, inside the side room, incense smoke curled upwards.

Vice Commander Lin Shoulong sat in the main seat, while on the other side was a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe.

Inside the room, besides the two chairs occupied, there was no other place to sit.

Upon seeing Qiu Zhen, Lin Shoulong had no intention of ordering his subordinates to offer a seat, each of them examining him with great interest, their gazes full of scrutiny.

"Vice Commander Lin, is this the Demon Suppression Division's way of treating guests?"

Qiu Zhen was neither humble nor arrogant, looking directly at Lin Shoulong, with no hint of timidity in his heart.

He came to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil and treat illnesses, but he hadn't taken advantage of them. On the contrary, the Demon Suppression Division had profited greatly. For the same task, the Demon Suppression Division had spent much less money.

Usually, the Demon Suppression Division was quite polite to him.

Logically speaking, instead of not offering a seat, they should have prepared a seat for him long ago.

However, today there was no movement.

Even though Qiu Zhen's expression was somewhat displeased, Lin Shoulong in the seat of honor didn't react at all.

After a long silence, Lin Shoulong slowly opened his mouth:

"If you are truly the Divine Doctor Qiu, our Demon Suppression Division would naturally treat you well. It's just a pity...you are not."

Saying this, Lin Shoulong paused, his gaze sharp, and the might of a Xiantian martial artist erupted, a powerful sense of oppression sweeping over him:

"Old monster, you've hidden yourself deeply enough. Possessing and reincarnating into Qiu Zhen, lying dormant for three or four years, never revealing a flaw, even daring to infiltrate the Demon Suppression Division for more than a year, your methods are truly remarkable."

Old monster reincarnated?

Are they talking about me?

Qiu Zhen was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Speaking of which, apart from not being a case of "possession and reincarnation," but rather an awakening of past life wisdom, the rest of it was really like a "cultivation old monster" reincarnating. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was exactly the same.

All the characteristics of a cultivation old monster could be found in him.

It's just...

How did the Demon Suppression Division know?

Qiu Zhen was secretly shocked, but on the surface, he didn't reveal any flaws, but instead had a strange expression, as if he had suddenly realized something, yet also didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"Me? A cultivation old monster? Vice Commander Lin, aren't you joking? If I were a cultivation old monster, how could I have been so down and out a few years ago."

"Stop pretending."

Lin Shoulong snorted coldly:

"Before the age of ten, you were no different from ordinary village children. Four years ago, your primordial spirit possessed the youth Qiu Zhen, seizing his body and replacing him. After that, your personality changed greatly, as if you had become a different person. Subsequently, you joined the Medicine King Valley, withheld wages to practice martial arts, and every move you made was different from others. Clan members and villagers have all rumored that you were possessed by a demon, how do you explain this?"

“That was enlightenment. With my background, if I didn't spend my limited money on myself, I would never have a chance to turn things around in my life. The two commanders were born into wealth and privilege, so they probably don't understand the difficulties of us common folk. We have to do everything we can to survive every day. Martial arts are a luxury for us. If I don't change and seize every opportunity, who will help me?”

“You are quite eloquent. Back then, the evil ghost cultivator, Dharma Master Yanshan, probably died at your hands, right?”

“At that time, I was just a first-level martial artist. How could I have had such ability!”

“You're lying. Before this, a cultivating monk took action to save the villagers from the fisherman's hands. You also saw that monk. Afterwards, you even had the fisherman hide the monk. You colluded with someone from the cultivation world.”

“Vice Commander Lin, that's absurd. We didn't know each other beforehand. The monk had the heart of a Bodhisattva. I didn't cure him, and I just didn't want him to be tormented afterwards. If that counts as colluding with someone from the cultivation world, then I have nothing to say.”

“That Dharma Master Yanshan died at the hands of an expert in thunder techniques. Afterwards, several experts from the Wooden Puppet Sect also died under thunder techniques.”

“I don't know thunder techniques.”

For a time, questions and rebuttals filled the room.

After hearing the other party's questioning, Qiu Zhen understood that the Demon Suppression Division had no solid evidence. Immediately, his expression turned somewhat unkind:

“Vice Commander Lin, these clues are all baseless guesses, without any evidence, throwing dirty water and slandering me. Is this how the Demon Suppression Division handles cases?”

Lin Shoulong knew what was up. How could he not know that the evidence was insufficient?

It was just that his superior wanted to gain merit but didn't want to completely offend Qiu Zhen, leaving some room for maneuver.

There was no other way. As a subordinate, he had to take the lead and play the 'bad guy':

“That's right! This is how our Demon Suppression Division handles cases.”

After Lin Shoulong finished speaking, his expression turned stern:

“Our Demon Suppression Division has a treasure called the [Martial God Pearl]. This pearl contains a powerful martial will. If the divine pearl is injected into your body, we will know with a single glance whether you are a cultivating immortal or an old monster!”

What!

Qiu Zhen was shocked.

He had heard about the [Martial God Pearl] from Apothecary An.

Whether it was internal refining of thunder talisman inner cores and consuming thunder qi, or 'eating the clear qi of heaven and earth', traces would be left deep within the body. If the [Martial God Pearl] was injected into his body, these traces might be exposed. Furthermore, the [Martial God Pearl] could even peer into the sea of consciousness, and then his Yin Spirit and Primordial Spirit would also be exposed.

The [Martial God Pearl]'s body search was not as good as the legendary 'Soul Searching Technique', but it wasn't much different. It could pry into a person's secrets completely.

Of course, its side effects were also not small, and it would damage a person's vitality.

This move was undoubtedly stripping him naked, allowing his body's secrets to be seen clearly.

He had long heard that the Demon Suppression Division was barbaric and arrogant, but he never expected them to be so arrogant and tyrannical.

At this moment, he finally understood what a violent yamen was.

From the moment it was born, the Demon Suppression Division was the embodiment of violence, not a place to reason with.

What laws? They were the laws.

At this moment, he could be said to be in a dangerous situation, with the risk of exposure at any time.

However, at this moment, Qiu Zhen's expression was calm, without any panic:

“Vice Commander Lin, don't let your desire for merit cloud your mind. You are using force against me. If I am not a cultivating immortal or an old monster, then what? What will happen then?”

Lin Shoulong smiled:

“If my judgment is wrong, I will personally bring great nourishing treasures and go to your residence to apologize with a thorn bush on my back!”

As he spoke, Lin Shoulong moved, not giving Qiu Zhen a chance to argue, and directly attacked.

As long as he attacked, he could see Qiu Zhen's background in a short time.

Lin Shoulong soared into the sky, turning one hand into a claw and grabbing towards Qiu Zhen.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Without opening the window, a gust of wind stirred in the room.

In the room, the strong wind actually turned into a tangible hand, grabbing towards Qiu Zhen.

Condensing Gang into Form!

This was a unique skill of a master of Innate True Gang!

Lin Shoulong was a little excited. Although this time, his superior, Wei Tan, was greedy for merit, how could he not be eager to make contributions himself?

He originally didn't have much confidence in breaking through to the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm, but if he could catch an 'old monster of cultivation', with this merit, his future would be much brighter.

In one's life, true opportunities and good fortune all depend on 'gambling' and 'fighting'.

“Divine Physician Qiu, don't struggle, otherwise, don't blame me if I hurt you.”

“Are you really so sure of yourself?”

Seeing the excitement and madness in Lin Shoulong's eyes, Qiu Zhen couldn't help but sneer.

Immediately, he moved, drawing the saber at his waist.

“Swish!”

A saber light was surprisingly fast.

Innate Martial Art [True Yang Saber Technique] — True Yang Initial Movement!

A streak of blood-colored saber light, like a flowing light in the sky, slashed towards the True Gang Hand.

“Pfft!”

The True Gang Hand was split in half, but its power did not diminish, and it blasted over, the roof was lifted, and Qiu Zhen was blasted away.

The power was so great that it was astonishing.

“Innate Saber Qi!”

Lin Shoulong was even more surprised.

What an amazing saber intent.

What surprised him even more was that Qiu Zhen, who had unleashed this saber, was now filled with baleful aura, like a fierce and evil god.

Qiu Zhen's eyes were calm and peaceful, quietly looking at Lin Shoulong.

“Divine Fiend... Condensing Fiend into the Body, you have become an Innate Martial Master!”

The other party had become an Innate Martial Master, then...

Not good, I guessed wrong!

Lin Shoulong's expression suddenly became very ugly, and the expression on his face was uncertain:

“This Qiu... Divine Physician Qiu, misunderstanding, I apologize to you!”

“Apologize! Is it that easy?”

Qiu Zhen had just wanted to speak when a cold laugh came from his ear.

Immediately, Qiu Zhen and Lin Shoulong looked towards the sound.

They saw a white figure stepping into the void above the Demon Suppression Division, one lotus flower with each step, drifting over.

“Lin Shoulong, who gave you the courage to use the Martial God Pearl on my disciple!”
