"L-Lord Garrison Envoy, w-what happened?"
Seeing the Garrison Envoy’s furious tone, Gao Yue Platform felt a vague sense of foreboding. Suppressing his unease, he walked to the Garrison Envoy’s side and asked respectfully in a low voice.
In truth,
Gao Yue Platform had not wanted to escape the Governnt Celestial Prison. As a Demon Extermination Commander, he knew one thing very clearly: he had not killed Zhao Ming.
But now,
having secretly escaped from the Governnt Celestial Prison, the nature of the situation had changed. He was now under suspicion of "fleeing to escape punishnt." The only reason Gao Yue Platform had chosen to escape was because the one who helped him was none other than the Garrison Envoy of the Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office.
That was why
Gao Yue Platform had finally made his decision.
"Huuu..."
The Garrison Envoy took a deep breath. Black Demon Flas ignited in his hand, burning the Information Jade Scroll to ash as waves of Demonic Qi rose from his body.
!!!
Gao Yue Platform’s pupils contracted.
The next mont,
without the slightest hesitation,
Gao Yue Platform turned and fled frantically.
His speed reached its absolute limit.
Fear.
Overwhelming fear.
One must understand.
The man before him was the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City, a position of extrely high status, enough to be on equal footing with the Mansion Master, Duan Minggong. At tis, his authority even surpassed that of Duan Minggong.
And yet,
this very sa lofty, incomparably powerful existence was actually a follower of the Demon Path, a terrifying Great Demon.
At this mont,
Gao Yue Platform felt as if the heavens were collapsing, an illusion of the sky falling. He was struck by a sense of absurdity and ridiculousness, as if his entire worldview had shattered.
So,
Gao Yue Platform turned and fled.
PFFT!
Fresh blood splattered.
The Garrison Envoy did not turn around. He simply ford a Sword Pointing with his right hand and thrust it forward. Demonic Qi condensed, forming a black beam of light that pierced through Gao Yue Platform’s skull.
The black beam exited the other side of his body.
...
Gao Yue Platform’s mouth opened and closed, and his body pitched forward, collapsing to the ground.
He was dead.
"Since the plan has failed, you are of no more use."
The Garrison Envoy’s tone was calm, as if killing Gao Yue Platform was no different from crushing an ant on the roadside, completely devoid of emotional fluctuation.
’It seems I’ll have to find another way to get the other Fragnts of the Inheritance Stone Tablet. And that bastard Duan Minggong... you ruined my plans this ti. Next ti, I’ll make you pay a hundredfold.’
As soon as the thought finished,
SWOOSH!
the Garrison Envoy transford into a black Escape Light.
In the blink of an eye,
he had vanished.
「Three days later.」
Gao Yue Platform’s body was discovered outside the city by mbers of a Patrol Team. The discovery was quickly reported to the Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office, and Duan Minggong promptly dispatched n to investigate.
In the end,
the investigation only revealed that Gao Yue Platform had been killed by an expert of the Demon Path.
As for any specific information about the killer, there were no leads to follow.
"Could it really be you?"
Duan Minggong stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Gao Yue Platform’s corpse, his voice a soft murmur. His eyes were profound as he looked into the distance. Even now, he found it hard to accept.
Most importantly,
if everything was as Duan Minggong suspected, he couldn’t begin to imagine the extent to which Moon River Prefecture City had been infiltrated.
Moreover,
after all this ti,
the culprit had only just slipped up.
Therefore,
Duan Minggong desperately hoped his suspicions were wrong. However, he had to prepare for the worst-case scenario and make ample preparations to deal with this matter.
Moon River Prefecture City.
Xicheng District.
Tianqi Street.
Inside the courtyard of Xu Qing’s residence.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
One could see
Xu Qing was continuing to practice the Baji Celestial Roc Fist and the Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique with intense focus. In a single second, he could complete the full sequence four tis, gaining four Experience Points.
His speed was already incredibly fast.
Additionally,
Moon River Prefecture City had not descended into chaos, which was a good thing for Xu Qing. As long as the city remained peaceful, he could continue to steadily accumulate Experience Points, raise his Level, and improve his strength and Realm.
Ti flew by.
In a flash,
another three months had passed.
On this day,
in the morning,
BOOM!
Xu Qing threw a punch, creating a powerful sonic boom. His strength had grown even greater. After practicing the Baji Celestial Roc Fist and the Life-taking Heavenly Sword Technique for so long, as well as constantly performing ditation and circulating the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret thod at night, he had once again accumulated enough Experience Points.
He could level up again.
