Capítulo 1427: Chapter 1513: The Whereabouts of the Gu Emperor (Part 2)
“Gu Emperor? You an the dead Gu Emperor has been in that old man’s body all along!”
Su Xuan was once again taken aback and felt like cursing. He knew he possessed Dark Strength, and if he had used it to sense the old man’s entire body that day, he should have been able to detect the presence of the Gu Emperor in him.
“Yes, after comparing data over these days, we found out that the old man is actually an internationally wanted thief nad Gui Qi. As for how he stole the Gu Emperor, it’s unknown. On his way back to Miaojiang, Gui Qi was targeted, leading to subsequent events. Gui Qi was clever; he tied the Gu Poison with a string and swallowed it into his stomach, thus evading many inspections. However, Gui Qi did not anticipate that he would be assassinated on the train. This must have been beyond his expectations. Due to being in Gui Qi’s stomach for so long, the Gu Emperor began to control Gui Qi’s body, which is why he appeared so lifelike despite being dead.”
Mo Qingqiu softly explained, and when he finished, Su Xuan was astonished. To be honest, he found it all too incredible, feeling that this place was indeed living up to the saying – full of colors and wonders.
Chapter 1514 Gui Qi
“Did you discover any important clues?”
Su Xuan asked with a smile, feeling sowhat excited. At least he could now confirm one thing: the Gu Emperor hadn’t been taken by anyone else, and currently, the Gu Emperor was still controlling Gui Qi’s body.
“Mr. Su, we invited you here because we hope you can unite people to help us find Gui Qi’s whereabouts. According to our experts’ prognosis, if no one controls the Gu Emperor, things will eventually escalate!”
“How so?”
Su Xuan curiously inquired, thinking to himself that Miaojiang was indeed filled with legendary elents, more unbelievable than corpse-driving. The Gu Emperor being able to control a lifeless body across county borders was truly unscientific.
“According to our experts, as ti progresses, if Gui Qi’s body starts to decay, it could lead to an epidemic. Fortunately, it’s winter now, and the temperatures are low. If it were sumr, the situation might have spiraled out of control!”
The police, due to limited manpower, were also feeling the strain.
“Epidemic? Does that make it a plague carrier?”
Su Xuan was startled. If an epidemic really ford, it would be terrifying.
“Exactly, the Gu Emperor is a special type of poisonous insect. It spreads using decaying corpses, and anyone exposed or inhaling it will be at risk. So, we don’t have much ti left. If it weren’t for the subzero temperatures these days, it’s hard to imagine what could happen.”
Mo Qingqiu said seriously.
The reason Mo Qingqiu thought of finding Su Xuan was that, in just a few days, Su Xuan had established Jianxia Manor and founded the largest security company in Miaojiang, turning into a legend. Mo Qingqiu was naturally aware of this.
Especially when Su Xuan trounced Young Master Ze from the Elite Gathering, leaving people feeling imnsely satisfied.
“We’re counting on you. Our police force is limited, and we know you currently have considerable power in this area!”
Mo Qingqiu said gratefully.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and said.
“I’ll still say the sa thing, once we get the Gu Emperor, I get to use it first!”
Su Xuan glanced at the large screen and felt slightly surprised; it seed things were getting more complex.
“So, the corpse really did leave on its own that day, and that handso cop wasn’t just spouting nonsense!”
Su Xuan recalled what the handso cop said that day.
“Most likely, it did leave on its own!”
Mo Qingqiu whispered.
After it left that day, soone ca to steal the corpse. We deduced that this must have been the perpetrator trying to steal the body. Maybe they also guessed that the Gu Emperor was inside Gui Qi, so we might be facing so competition now.”
“No wonder the Underworld has been so quiet these days,” Su Xuan chuckled softly, realizing that the Underworld’s silence was likely because they were also searching for the Gu Emperor.
“I’ll head off then. I’ll go back and sort this out for now!”
“Let see you out!”
Mo Qingqiu walked Su Xuan to the police station’s entrance. Upon reaching the door, Su Xuan saw a rcedes parked beside his car, and a man in his twenties holding flowers by the car. The man seed to exude hostility upon spotting Su Xuan.
Su Xuan smiled slightly, shrugging his shoulders and said.
“Looks like your boyfriend misunderstood!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s not my boyfriend!”
Mo Qingqiu rolled her eyes helplessly at the guy and turned to leave.
“Qingqiu, hold on, who is this guy?”
The man hurried to Mo Qingqiu, looking furious and demanding.
“What does it matter to you, Young Master Xin? Can’t you give a break? I’ve told you, I’m not into your type, you…”
Mo Qingqiu was speechless. The person was none other than one of her suitors, a mber of a prestigious family, Xin Chuixue. But this Xin Chuxiu was not the legendary Xin Chuixue, and he seed sowhat tragic.
“Kid, I challenge you to a duel!”
Xin Chuixue glared at Su Xuan, clearly displeased.
“…”
Su Xuan was speechless, thinking to himself that he was unjustly drawn into sothing again. Wanting to duel with him — was this guy out of his mind?
“You want to duel with ? What makes you think you have what it takes? I’m not soone who duels easily!”
Su Xuan smirked, deciding to toy with the fool a bit.
“If… if I lose, I can give you a sword. If you lose, you cannot see Mo Qingqiu for the rest of your life. If you’re a man, accept my challenge!”
Xin Chuixue looked furious. To be honest, seeing how handso Su Xuan was, he felt pressured, a lot of pressure. This guy was too handso, making Xin feel like a lackey just standing in front of him.
“Uh…”
Su Xuan rubbed his nose.
“Your family forges weapons?”
Su Xuan thought to himself that in this day and age, who still deals with weapons? Did he think it was the unsullied era? Hopefully, if he wins, he won’t just give him a kitchen knife.
“Haha!”
Mo Qingqiu couldn’t help but laugh; Su Xuan spoke in a way that could truly infuriate people to death.
“Don’t bother with him, Su Xuan. This guy claims to be a descendant of Ouyez and says his family forges divine weapons, duping people all day long!”
Mo Qingqiu said helplessly.
“I’m not lying. I really am a descendant of Ouyez. My family is renowned for swordsmithing!”
Xin Chuixue seed quite annoyed, feeling sowhat insulted.
“Uh… can they even forge swords these days? Isn’t it prohibited by the state?”
Su Xuan asked curiously, knowing that Huaxia strictly regulates firearms and such. Although crafted swords might be allowed, truly sharpened swords were typically not permitted.
“Their family is licensed, but the swords they forge undergo strict quality checks and are primarily for military personnel as swords!”
“Oh…”
Su Xuan nodded, realizing that he had heard in the military that officers still carried swords, as swords were regarded as the king of weapons, the gentleman of soldiers.
Su Xuan had once seen a general’s sword when he was in the military, and it was indeed a remarkable sword. Never did he think this guy ca from a Sword Casting Family; it piqued his curiosity.
“So, do you dare to duel with ?”
As he looked at Su Xuan, Xin Chuixue seed like his movie nasake, poised and formidable!
