Chapter 45 In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away (for further reading)

Convention Hall!

A sundial stands in front of the door, casting a slanted shadow.

When the rapid bell rang, a short while, starlights of different colors came one after another, falling to the hall and gathered into different figures.

The four major supervisors arrived!

A corner of the white robe whirled, Li Guofeng walked out of the starlight, frowned and saw the situation clearly:

Xu Xiurong stood next to the bell in front of the hall with expressionless expression, holding a bell hammer in her hand, and her soft face was murderous.

Beside her, Ji Ping'an stood.

"What happened? I'm urgently summoning me to come?" Li Guofeng's eyes only stayed on Ji Ping'an for a moment, and then moved towards Xu Xiurong.

"Yes, Junior Sister Xu, what big thing happened?" Fang Liuhuo stepped out, sparks drifted all over his body, and his two red eyebrows raised.

"According to the rules of the hospital, no bells can be played without any major issues. Xu Jianhou, I hope you can provide enough reasons." Shirakawa's low voice came, with obvious displeasure of being disturbed.

The honest man Huang Chen didn't say anything, and he also cast doubts.

Seeing that everyone was here, Xu Xiurong raised his hand and threw the bell hammer down, making a "clang" sound, looked at Bai Chuan, and said in a cold voice:

"Just just now, someone in the prison forged this marquis's order and deceived Ji Ping'an into leaving the Imperial Heaven Prison and heading to Baidi. After he arrived, he was assassinated by a peak martial artist at the peak of Qi cultivation."

Everyone suddenly changed their color.

"Junior Sister Xu, this matter is serious?" Fang Liuhuo was impatient and looked straight.

The other marquis, including Shirakawa, also had a deep face.

There are often conflicts in the world of cultivation. If only disciples are attacked... it is not a big deal.

But fake warrants and intentional murder are of completely different natures.

Because the core of this matter is that the Imperial Heaven Prison may suffer infiltration.

Any organization is extremely sensitive to the infiltration of foreign enemies and will not be ignored.

Xu Xiurong said coldly: "Would this Hou be joking? Many people witnessed the assassination, and there were also evidences of the assassin's body. He also carried this on his body."

She threw out the animal skin that Ji Ping'an picked up.

"Demon Clan!" Several marquises recognized him at first glance.

Li Guofeng said in a deep voice: "So, the other party is the secret son of the demon clan buried in the Shendu? Come and assassinate my genius in the Imperial Heavenly Prison?"

Although the two tribes have not launched any war for hundreds of years, their camps are still hostile, and both sides are also very concerned about stifling the new generation of geniuses on the other side.

Ji Ping'an showed off his outstanding talent not long ago and was learned by the demon clan, so he sent someone to assassinate... This is a reasonable reason.

"It's not easy to make a conclusion," Shirakawa shook his head and analyzed calmly:

"We have many enemies. Although the major sects appear to be kind, they may not have no dirty things in private. It is not the first time that they blame the demon clan and divert our attention. Especially when the gods are approaching, it is unlikely to be able to do so at this time."

Everyone nodded and agreed with his analysis.

"Apart from that, are there any other clues?" Li Guofeng asked: "You said the assassin has been killed? Where is the body? You can ask the Taoist Sect for help."

Xu Xiurong's eyebrows and eyes were cold and silent: "I have asked the spirit. In fact, if it weren't for the saint of the National Church, Ji Ping'an would have no bones left."

Saint? Everyone was a little surprised, but did not ask for details, but just said, "What is the result of asking the spirit?"

Xu Xiurong's face was as deep as water, and suddenly looked at Bai Chuan and sneered: "Don't you know about Bai Jianhou?"

Shirakawa shouted and said, "What Xu Jianhou said is interesting, why did he ask me? Could it be that I would send someone to kill him?"

However, when this ironic sentence was thrown out, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Shirakawa was stunned for a moment, frowned in response to Xu Xiurong's gaze: "Speak just by saying something."

Xu Xiurong sighed deeply and threw out a bombshell: "The saint asked the spirit on the spot. He saw a figure in the assassin's memory, suspected to be a friend. And this person... is Peng Yuan, Peng Sili, the subordinate of Bai Jianhou!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people changed drastically.

Shirakawa was stunned at first, then his face was covered in blood due to anger and said sternly:

"Xu Xiurong! Don't be tainted from the truth! Although you and I have had a marriage, everything is within the rules of the courtyard. Instead of just crawling and biting like you."

He was so angry.

Xu Xiurong sneered: "Everyone knows that you protect your shortcomings, but there is no need to rush to refute. The result of asking for the spirit will not be fake. If you don't believe it, you can ask the saint of the state religion to come and testify later."

Although Yu Yu's cultivation is not high, he has a good status as a personal disciple of Xin Yaoguang. This kind of testimony is still credible.

Everyone believed it eighty times, and Shirakawa's chest was irritated. He protected his weakness and immediately said, "Okay. I'll come to Peng Yuan to ask."

"I'd better send someone to find him." Suddenly, the honest man Huang Chen spoke. He looked at the eyes of several people and sighed: "This is the most suitable."

Everyone remained silent and understood what he meant.

Huang Chen immediately ordered someone to search for Pengyuan, and soon the disciples of Tuyuan returned:

"Reported to the marquis of the prison, Peng Sili was not in the prison. According to Bai Jun, the gatekeeper, Peng Sili hurriedly left about a stick of incense, saying that he was going to do business, but now he is missing."

After the words came to an end, everyone fell silent.

Shirakawa was stunned by lightning and stood there. He still didn't believe it, but he couldn't explain why Peng Yuan happened to escape. The evidence and physical evidence were there, and the truth was about to come out.

"So, Peng Yuan may collude with the demon clan and assassinate the genius in our prison. With his authority, he does have the ability to forge warrants. As for escaping... it may be because of some secret method, he learned that he was assassinated and died, and realized that it might be exposed and fled." Li Guofeng said in a deep voice.

"I...I'll catch him back!" The coldness around Shirakawa was unable to curb the radius. The temperature in the conference hall fell, and the voice was cold and there was no emotion.

Li Guofeng glanced at him and said, "The Water Institute will not participate in this matter."

Shirakawa was stunned and then smiled bitterly. Some words were not said explicitly, but they all understood. If Peng Yuan was the murderer, then Shirakawa behind him was also suspected.

The remaining people looked at each other, raised their hands at the same time, took out the astrology for divination.

However, the divination results are completely different, and the directions given by the four astrological charts are different.

"I was disturbed, it seems that the level of involvement in this matter is not low." Li Guofeng's face looked ugly.

The gods are vast and have a population of millions. If Pengyuan had prepared for a long time, as long as he hid it in time, it would be difficult to find a trace without magic help in a short period of time.

"Tell the yamen that we have too few people, so it is not very useful to release them all. We can only rely on the government to search and find clues before arresting them." Fang Liuhuo was very upset and had no choice but to propose.

This is the only way... Li Guofeng sighed. However, the government lacks deterrence to practitioners. It involves magic and many things are difficult to solve by ordinary detective methods.

This is also why the government office has not yet found out the last headless case in the alley.

And the importance of this matter is not enough to present it to the Divine Emperor and create too many battles.

The final result may be that the suspect disappears, which cannot be completely determined, and becomes a unsolved case.

This was obviously not what Xu Xiurong wanted to see. And just when the few people were helpless, suddenly, a voice that was ignored by them from beginning to end slowly sounded:

"Actually, you might as well wait a little longer, there might be a turning point."

The person who spoke was Ji Ping'an. He stood quietly beside the bell, with a calm expression. As the person involved, he was not angry or anxious, but gave people a feeling of... Zhizhu holding it.

One by one, his eyes were cast, his expressions were different, and Li Guofeng frowned: "What does it mean?"

Ji Ping'an said calmly: "Today's sunshine is too dazzling, so it's better to go to the hall to sit and drink tea to get rid of the anger. Maybe Peng Sili will come back later."

Perhaps because this was too outrageous, several marquises could not react for a while.

Fang Liuhuo smacked his lips and said, "You guy won't break the head of the assassin, you're gone, can you come back by yourself?"

Li Guofeng and Huang Chen shook their heads, and they felt that it was too incredible.

Only Xu Xiurong's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he felt unbelievable.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the courtyard. Ji Ping'an smiled and turned around and said, "Here you come."

Bang!

After the words came, a figure was thrown in through the courtyard wall like a broken sack, smashed to the ground, and raised smoke and dust.

A long and straight black girl covered with a veil followed closely and landed lightly, proudly: "Ji Ping'an, I'll catch you back. I won't owe you anything this time."

quiet.

Everyone was shocked at first, and then looked at the dying, blood-like figure on the ground.

"Pengyuan!"
Chapter completed!
