Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 23: The Murderer is the Flower Thief Cao Jun

Noon on the second day, Fish Cage.

No one initially noticed the deaths of Luo Chang and others. After all, it was common to revel all night and sleep until noon the next day.

However, since Luo Chang and others had not gotten up for a long ti, soone from the Dragon King Gang went to check.

What they saw were corpses scattered everywhere, and the room was filled with a foul stench.

This was an unprecedented murder case.

Even the governntal constables of Tonghe County were alard, and the whole yard was temporarily cordoned off.

"Who, who indeed killed my son?"

Luo Zheng, elder of the Dragon King Gang, was furious beyond asure. Seeing his son dead, he was filled with overwhelming hatred, wishing to find the murderer and tear them to pieces.

Even though Luo Chang often acted recklessly and caused trouble.

But after all, he was his only son, born late in life.

Now, he died for no apparent reason.

The anger in his heart was imaginable.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who killed your son should be the flower thief Cao Jun."

At this mont, Feng Hao, the county captain of Tonghe County, walked over, striding powerfully, radiating a formidable aura.

All the mbers of the Dragon King Gang around bowed their heads, not daring to et his gaze, filled with reverence.

They naturally acted arrogant towards the fishern, often throwing their weight around.

But when facing a bigshot like Feng Hao, they dared not offend him rashly.

Otherwise, even the Dragon King Gang could land in big trouble.

An ordinary murder case would not be able to attract Feng Hao.

But this matter is related to the flower thief Cao Jun, making it entirely different.

After all, Cao Jun had always been the target he was tracking, unexpectedly finding a trace here.

"Flower thief Cao Jun?"

"Lord Feng, how did you know the murderer is Cao Jun?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng, elder of the Dragon King Gang, was shocked. He naturally had heard of this wanted criminal.

It's said this person ravaged the martial world for decades, and countless noble families' won were victimized by him.

Once, even the court issued a bounty, determined to pursue and kill Cao Jun.

They even set a heaven and earth net.

Unfortunately, after so many years, Cao Jun still remains at large.

The court is helpless against this guy, reflecting his ferocity and strength.

"Very simple, your son, along with these people, died from the infamous Three Centipedes and Five Toads Smoke."

"This is Cao Jun's exclusive toxic smoke, coming from Cao's Poison Scripture."

"Apart from Cao Jun, no one else possesses it."

"Once inhaled, people almost die instantly, unable even to call for help."

Feng Hao straightforwardly stated.

"But why would such a notorious figure co to kill my son?"

Luo Zheng, elder of the Dragon King Gang, was utterly baffled.

After all, his son was just an ordinary person, impossible to offend such a big entity.

"There's no reason; it's pure misfortune."

"Cao Jun despises, apart from governnt officials, fellow flower thieves."

"It's said your son has a bad reputation, fond of snatching young won?"

Feng Hao calmly said.

"Rumors, re rumors."

"But this guy is a flower thief and still hates other flower thieves?"

Luo Zheng naturally knew the truth but refused to admit it, after all, with his son dead, he didn't want his reputation to worsen.

"Whether rumor or fact, Cao Jun indeed targeted your son."

"As a flower thief, naturally he hates other flower thieves."

"For soone like Cao Jun, he detests competitors the most."

"If flower thieves were everywhere, it would be easy for them to target won Cao Jun had his eyes on?"

"So once Cao Jun discovers other flower thieves, he will surely kill rcilessly."

"Over the years, flower thieves dying at Cao Jun's hands aren't few."

Feng Hao sneered coldly.

Though Cao Jun was indeed a calamity, he did, to so extent, help the court with so flower thieves, even avenging so victims.

Of course, this wasn't Cao Jun's intention.

"This."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng fell silent.

If true, indeed it was an unexpected calamity, a disaster without reason.

"Initially, I thought Cao Jun, ambushed and heavily injured, hid in Yunng Lake, was surely dead."

"Who would have thought this old scoundrel has such a large lifespan, still coming out to commit cris."

Feng Hao said helplessly.

Originally wanting credit for this, even if unable to kill Cao Jun, he could find his corpse.

Thus, he could claim the rit.

Unexpectedly, not only was Cao Jun not dead, but he still went out to commit cris.

Undoubtedly, this was a provocation against the court, boldly telling the court that despite the ambush, he, Cao Jun, was still alive and active.

Indeed, surviving as a flower thief for decades requires skill, making it hard to kill him easily.

"If you seek revenge, go find Cao Jun."

"But knowing his character, he's probably run off sowhere unknown."

Feng Hao said gravely.

Having checked the house, he found no clues.

Clearly, that guy is too cautious, fleeing imdiately after committing a cri.

Giving them no chance to find this old ghost.

"Revenge? How to avenge?"

"That's Cao Jun; who can kill him."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng was desperate, trembling all over.

If just an ordinary person, he would seek revenge, even willing to kill the opponent's entire family.

But what faces him is the flower thief Cao Jun, infamous.

Countless martial heroes died at his hands.

If he indeed finds Cao Jun, he might die in his hands first.

Besides, Cao Jun wouldn't care about him.

Among Cao Jun's many enemies, he doesn't rank at all.

Rather than finding Cao Jun for revenge, might as well have another child.

This is the cruelty of this world.

On the surface, as a Dragon King Gang elder, he can oppress the common people, high in rank and power.

Yet before true powerhouses, he is like an ant.

If encountered, he too would die without burial.

Despairing to the point of not even considering revenge, accepting his fate.

He regretted it deeply.

If he knew earlier about Cao Jun's cruelty, specializing in killing flower thieves, he wouldn't have allowed his son to act recklessly.

Now, it's too late for regrets.

"Then pray, pray that we can find Cao Jun again."

Feng Hao shook his head, also feeling helpless.

He's seen countless victims like this.

Used to it long ago.

Nowadays, the case-solving rate is below twenty percent.

Especially when martial artists commit cris, they run elsewhere after killing, unable to be caught.

As governntal constables of a county, it's impossible to travel for cases.

So often, they leave it unattended, accepting the victim's misfortune.
