Chapter 414

Regardless of whether he could help or not, he would first paint a picture to obtain some information. If Number Six was an evil person, Xu Qi 'an would throw him out to reduce the number of people in Heaven & Earth Society.

Of course, before that, he had to first trick Number Six's hiding place to avoid any future troubles, because Number Six was very powerful.

Breaking into Count Pingyuan's residence at night, killing Count Pingyuan, heavily injuring the night watchman, and calmly hiding. This was definitely a middle-ranked expert, or even stronger.

If there was a reason for this, he would do his best to help and build up his image as the leader of Heaven & Earth Society, Chen Jinnan.

Wei Yuan had asked him to go undercover, not to keep hiding. He needed to show some results.

Could Number Three help him?

Could he easily take Number Six away from the search of the night watchmen and the Imperial Blade Guards?

What was his identity? Was he just a Confucian disciple?

At a time like this, if he did not have a reasonable identity, he would be arrested on the spot even if he walked around the inner city.

Or could he order around the Imperial Blade Guards or the night watchman?

Xu Qi 'an's words caused the imaginations of the Earth Tome fragments to run wild. They secretly guessed his true identity and speculated about his next actions.

[Nine: Hehe, if Number Three is willing to help, then there won't be a problem. Number Six, don't hide it.]

The Jinlian Taoist Priest was certain that Number Three could help Number Six resolve the crisis … Number Three was definitely not an ordinary Confucian disciple. He must have a more secretive identity of a higher level … The newcomer that the Jinlian Taoist Priest had recruited this time was no small matter.

The members of Heaven & Earth Society became spirited. They maintained their silence and quietly watched the situation unfold.

[Number Six: One of my junior brothers has gone missing for a year. I suspect that he was kidnapped and sent out of the capital through secret channels.

[After many inquiries and investigations, I locked onto a trafficking organization. They abduct women and children and sell them to brothels, beggars, and other places that need women and children.

[Not only do they sell children and women, but they also abduct cultivators. I have yet to find out their true purpose.

[In the end, I found out that the boss behind the trafficking organization was Count Pingyuan.]

[Three: So you killed him out of anger?]

"Six: I snuck into Count Pingyuan's residence and interrogated him about his whereabouts. To no avail, I killed him to expiate my sins."

[One: Why didn't you report him to the authorities?]

Number One did not agree with Number Six's way of doing things.

[Two: Nonsense. If the law was effective, Count Pingyuan would have been punished a long time ago. Officials protect each other. There is no god three feet above the head, justice is only in the blade.]

… This young man was a nationalist! Actually, he could report Count Pingyuan. It was unwise to kill. [Count Pingyuan] Number Three: Six.

However, from this, it could be inferred that Number Six was a straightforward, even reckless and impulsive person who liked to convince others with reason. [Taoist].

Number One seemed to be disdainful of arguing with Number Two and did not respond.

"Six: I have my reasons. In the past year, I've saved many children. Some of them had their limbs cut off and were begging by the roadside. [Six of] The [Wu Six] [] [I once saved a child. His hands and feet were cut off, his skin was boiled in boiling water, and he was wrapped in a black dog's skin.

"I once saved a child. His hands and feet were chopped off, his skin was boiled in boiling water, and he was wrapped in black dog skin. After his injuries healed, the dog skin was born on the child's body.

"Yazi disguised him as a black dog and taught him a few auspicious words to please the unsuspecting commoners. Then, he asked for money."

[Six: Of course.]

Number One did not speak for a long time.

[Three: You have successfully convinced me. Although I hate Warrior for breaking the law with brute force and not using his brain, I am still willing to help you.]

Xu Qi 'an suppressed the anger in his chest and imitated Xu Erlang's personality, speaking in the tone of a Confucian.

Xu Qi 'an suppressed the anger in his chest. He imitated Xu Erlang's personality and spoke in the tone of a Confucian.

[Four: He is a man of character. Let's drink together when we are free.]

[Four: I'm a passionate person. Let's drink together when we're free.]

[Four: He is a man of character. Let's drink together when we are free.]

They didn't call out Number Three's name. They probably knew that Chen Jinnan wasn't Number Three's real name.

[Six: In the canal outside Count Pingyuan's residence.]

[Six: In the canal outside Count Pingyuan's Mansion.]

The canal was a dirty and smelly place. There were no sewer workers in this era, so people would not enter it. It was a blind spot.

But it was only temporary. When the night watchman gathered his men, he would not let this place go.

[Three: I understand. Wait for my news.]

Xu Qi 'an put away the mirror. He held the saber in one hand and touched his chin with the other, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

He could not bring people out of the inner city. There were Imperial Blade Guards and night watchmen along the way.

The only thing Xu Qi 'an could do was to turn a blind eye to the area he was patrolling. He had to do it quickly. Otherwise, when the Imperial Blade Guards and night watchmen sealed off the area, he would not be able to save Six even if he wanted to.

"Time is of the essence. I have to think of a perfect plan …"

If he wanted to save Six, he had to hide from the night watchman and the Celestial Commissioner's warlock. In that case, Xu Qi 'an had to do two things. First: Find a place for Six to hide. Second: Help him cover up his scent.

The former was not difficult. As long as he got through tonight, Six could disguise himself as an ordinary person and leave the city on his own.

With Count Pingyuan's status, the inner city gate would not be closed all the time. The gate would definitely be opened in the morning.

The difficult part was how to cover up Six's scent.

"After killing someone, it is inevitable that he will be tainted with hostility. This will not be able to hide from the Celestial Commissioner's warlock's Qi-watching spell. Should I do it with Song Qing again? "

"No, I haven't paid for the last transaction. I haven't sent the periodic table to the Celestial Commissioner yet. Moreover, Song Qing is as stubborn as me. It will be difficult for him to help with this kind of thing. Unless I sleep with the little beauty Chu Caiwei … "

Although the Earth Book could accept people, the members of the Heaven & Earth Society did not mention it. Xu Qi 'an guessed that he would not be able to cover up his scent and would be found by the Qi-watching spell.

The key was to cover up his scent … Xu Qi 'an had a way to try. This was also the reason why he dared to show off in the Earth Book chat group.

He took out the booklet, flipped through the pages, and found one of the pages. On it was written: A leaf obscures the eye!

In the afternoon, Xu Qi 'an had already memorized all the spells recorded in the booklet, so he had a good idea of what they were.

Blind the Leaf could allow the caster to hide his or her scent and achieve the effect of "erasing" his or her existence.

Its essence was to distort the corresponding rules according to the Five Virtues of Confucianism. Then, through the "learning" ability of the Sixth Rank Confucian Scholar, he would record this rule on the paper.

Xu Qi 'an looked around and locked onto an inn across the street. He tiptoed and flew to the roof. He listened for heartbeats and breathing and found an empty room.

He hung on the wall like a gecko and used his saber to pry open the latch of the window.

After doing all this, he rushed to Count Pingyuan's mansion not far from where he was. He stood on the roof across the street and looked for a while. He found the canal.

Xu Qi 'an took out an arrow from the leather pouch at his waist, tied the torn paper to the arrow, and threw it.

Thud!

The arrow was nailed to the mud wall beside the canal.

He crouched low on the roof, took out a small jade mirror, and sent a message:

[Three: Number Six, there is an arrow on the mud wall beside the canal where you are hiding. There is something you need on it. I have prepared a room in the Green Book Inn on the next street. The sixth window on the second floor is open. Go quickly!]

He did not look at the mirror but stared at the canal. Ten seconds later, a bald man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes emerged. He looked bitter and resentful.

The bald man looked around vigilantly, then his eyes fell on the arrow nailed to the wall.

He pulled out the arrow and unfolded the paper on it.

Blind the Leaf?

The bald man seemed to understand something, and his face relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Number Three was indeed a Confucian student.

He immediately ignited the paper with his Qi, and an indescribable power enveloped him, restraining his aura.

… This ability to restrain one's aura!

The bald man's pupils shrank, revealing a look of shock.

This was not something an ordinary cultivator of the Fifth Stage of Virtue Realm could do. He had to be at least in the Fourth Stage of Gentleman Realm.

Number Three's identity could not be wrong. Not only was he a Confucian student, but he was also a student valued by some great Confucian.

The Jinlian Taoist priest had said that every possessor of a fragment of the Earthly Tome was a proud son of Heaven. He was not lying.

He did not leave immediately. Instead, he unhurriedly took out a clean monk's robe from the small jade mirror and put it on. He then threw his stinky shoes and clothes into the mirror.

I have to leave quickly. If I delay any longer, it will be dangerous if the experts of the night watchmen gather here … The bald man did not dare to leap onto roofs or vault over walls.

At this time, he saw a young man standing on the roof of a neighboring street. The young man was wearing the uniform of a night watchman, and he had one hand on his saber. He faced the night wind and looked ahead, his eyes vast and lonely.

His figure was as deep as an abyss and as tall as a mountain.

He was like a firefly in the night, dazzling and eye-catching.

This copper gong's aura is restrained and profound, and he is extraordinarily handsome … The night watchmen are indeed full of talents … The bald man glanced at him, secretly admiring him.

He followed Number Three's words and found the Green Book Inn. The sixth window was indeed open.

The bald man leaped up lightly and entered the room soundlessly. A moment later, the window was closed.

"Phew …" Xu Qi 'an relaxed his shoulders, no longer posing.

Although he knew that Number Six was a Buddhist disciple and could not be a woman, he still felt a little disappointed.

"Number Nine is that old Jinlian, and Number Six is that bitter and vengeful Lu Zhishen. As for the other netizens, there should be some pretty girls, right?" Xu Qi 'an was just about to take out a mirror to check his chat history when his ears twitched. He heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

In his line of sight, he saw dozens of black shadows rising and falling from the rooftops, rushing in his direction.

"Next, I have to get through this to be safe!" Xu Qi 'an narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

The murder of Count Pingyuan had alarmed the Jinluo on duty tonight. Six silver gongs and dozens of copper gongs were on duty tonight.

Almost all the night watchmen on duty were mobilized, and they even brought a few white uniforms of the Celestial Commissioner with them.

The Imperial Blade Guards cooperated with the night watchmen. With Count Pingyuan's mansion as the center, a radius of several miles was tightly sealed. These people, wearing the white uniforms of the Celestial Commissioner, conducted a carpet search.

The leader of the Jinluo was called Jiang Lüzhong. He was in his forties, with jet-black hair and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, shining with a sharp and cold light.

This pair of eyes was famous in the yamen for night watchmen. Except for Jinluo, who was at the same level as him, no one could look him in the eyes for more than three seconds.

He led the team, continuously rising and falling from the roofs of buildings, his sharp eyes sweeping across the dark city.

The white uniforms of the Celestial Commissioner were carried on the backs of the copper gongs. Light flowed in their eyes as they scanned the streets below inch by inch.

Jiang Lüzhong said in a deep voice, "After the murderer killed someone, his breath must be stained with blood. Did you notice anything unusual?"

The few warlocks were only Level Eight Qi-Gazing Masters. Their combat ability was average, and they did not know how to leap onto roofs and vault over walls, so they needed to be carried by the copper gongs. But this did not prevent them from showing off their superiority in front of the Warrior.

"No!" The white uniforms of the Celestial Commissioner replied indifferently.

Jiang Lüzhong's expression froze for a moment, but he held back.

After walking for a while, one of the white uniforms of the Celestial Commissioner saw Xu Qi 'an standing proudly on the roof. He was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic. "Go down, go down quickly."
