Constable Chen had been a constable in the Guanzhong torture room for half his life. He had seen all kinds of strange scenes, but this was truly rare.
The enemies were obviously the three martial artists from the military, but in the end, Shen Mo actually killed Chu Zongguang as well. There was definitely something he wasn't aware of.
Shen Bai furrowed his brows and said coldly, "If that's the case, then my brother died together with these three people?"
Just now, the Shen Clan's servants had already reported to Shen Bai that in front of Shen Mo's corpse was the corpse of one of the three martial artists. The short knife in his hand had directly beheaded Shen Mo. From the looks of it, Shen Mo didn't manage to kill the other party in one strike and gave the other party some time to catch their breath.
Constable Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No! Your little brother didn't die together with others. Just now, I said that on the surface, there were five people fighting. In fact, there should be six people! "
Constable Chen revealed a trace of a sneer and said, "To be honest, this person's arrangement wasn't considered brilliant, but it was enough to fool ordinary people. For example, when the people from your residence found the corpse, none of them felt anything was wrong. But if they want to fool me, they are still far from it."
Constable Chen pointed to the corpse of the last Dragon Rider Imperial Guard and said in a deep voice, "On the surface, he used the Thousand Leaf Plume to shatter your little brother's weapon and beheaded him with the last knife. But this person's weapon was a spear."
Shen Bai frowned and said, "A person who uses a spear can also use a knife. It is not strange to cultivate two types of weapons at the same time."
Constable Chen smiled and said, "It is not strange. A long weapon can be used to sweep and a short weapon can be used for close combat. It is very normal. But what is not normal is a Xiantian realm martial artist holding a weapon that doesn't suit him. No matter how poor a martial artist is, he wouldn't be so poor to the point of fooling around with his own weapon. Young Master Shen can take a closer look. This spear-wielding martial artist's palm joints are thick, but the short knife's handle is relatively small. It is extremely inconvenient to hold the knife. "
At this moment, Constable Chen pointed at Shen Bai's hand and said, "The flesh on your brother's finger is ruptured. If I'm not wrong, he should be using the Azure Water Sword Sect's Vein Severing Sword Finger.
Because your younger brother had exhausted all of his True Qi, the Pulse Severing Finger Sword could only condense all of the Qi and blood in his body. As a result, as long as the Pulse Severing Finger Sword hit the opponent, it would cause the flesh and blood to explode. If the attack missed, it would only cause the Qi and blood to dissipate. However, the opponent's corpse did not have any traces of being hit by the Pulse Severing Finger Sword.
From the looks of it, there should be six people fighting in the entire Chu Clan. It was this sixth person who killed your younger brother after your younger brother killed the other two, and in the end, he even created the illusion that both sides had perished together! "
"Who is that person?" Shen Bai's eyes flashed with a gloomy look.
"Chu Xiu!" Constable Chen said resolutely.
"Chu Xiu? Who is that? "Shen Bai asked suspiciously.
Constable Chen said, "According to the information provided by the servants in your residence, this Chu Xiu should be the second young master of the Chu Clan. He has the cultivation of the Blood Condensation realm. From the corpses on the scene, this Chu Xiu was like the rest of the Chu Clan, slaughtered by the three martial artists from the military."
Constable Chen's face revealed a trace of a smile that was not a smile. He said, "I didn't suspect him before, but when I was inspecting the corpses, I felt that something was wrong from the corpse of 'Chu Xiu'."
Constable Chen removed the white cloth on 'Chu Xiu's' corpse, revealing the corpse that was beyond recognition.
"I don't know what kind of enmity the three martial artists from the military had with the Chu Clan, but their attacks were extremely ruthless. However, with the inner aura realm of the 5th level of the Qi Controlling realm against these Blood Condensation and Body Tempering realm martial artists, it was basically a one-sided massacre.
Among all the corpses in the Chu Clan, only this corpse was the most special. First, his heart was pierced by the tip of a spear with incomparable precision, then his head was smashed.
This was very strange. Could it be that when an inner aura realm martial artist fought against a martial artist who was not even in the Xiantian realm, he couldn't be sure that he could kill his opponent in one strike and needed to add another?
Of course, it could also be that the other party deeply hated the Chu Clan, so his attacks were ruthless. However, the other party only attacked this corpse twice. Why did the martial artist from the military only have such a deep hatred for 'Chu Xiu'?
After that, I carefully examined this corpse. Although the corpse has been dead for such a long time, and the Qi and blood have congealed, it is impossible to distinguish whether the other party was in the Body Tempering realm or the Blood Condensation realm. However, from the calluses on the hands of this corpse, I can be sure that when the other party was alive, the other party mainly practiced with weapons such as rods and spears, while Chu Xiu used a saber! "
Finally, Constable Chen spoke in a deep voice, "Young Master Shen, with all these clues added up, I dare say that there is an 80% chance that the person who killed your son is this Chu Xiu!"
Shen Bai's eyes revealed a trace of coldness, "Many thanks to Constable Chen. It doesn't matter if this Chu Xiu is the murderer or not. After returning to the Azure Water Sword Sect, I will do my best to capture this Chu Xiu in Wei County!"
Constable Chen nodded, "Young Master Shen is too polite, this is what I should do."
In fact, there were still many mysteries in this matter. For example, why did the three martial artists from the military find the Chu Clan, why did Shen Mo kill Chu Zongguang, etc.
But now, these things were no longer important. He was no longer the constable of the Guanzhong Torture Room, but a person of the pugilistic world who had returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. If it wasn't for Shen Bai's personal invitation, he wouldn't have dared to offend the Azure Water Sword Sect.
In fact, in his heart, Constable Chen was rather curious about Chu Xiu. It had been a long time since he saw such a ruthless and severe youth.
Three Qi Inner Aura experts, two Xiantian martial artists with formidable trump cards. In this chaotic battle, the one who survived was the weakest, Chu Xiu. This was truly inconceivable.
And in the end, Chu Xiu even set up the scene at this critical juncture where he could be discovered at any time, creating the illusion of mutual destruction. This was even more difficult.
It could be said that if Shen Bai didn't invite him out, then the Shen Clan's bunch of outsiders would never be able to discover these small details.
It was a pity that no matter how ruthless and severe Chu Xiu was, it was useless. Shen Bai used the Azure Water Sword Sect's name to issue an arrest warrant. As long as Chu Xiu was still in Wei County, it was almost impossible for him to escape.
After Shen Bai returned to the Azure Water Sword Sect, he indeed used the Azure Water Sword Sect's name to issue an arrest warrant for Chu Xiu. On the warrant, there was a drawing of Chu Xiu's appearance and physique.
Even though the various sects in Wei County were curious as to why the Azure Water Sword Sect would issue an arrest warrant for a small Blood Condensation Realm cultivator, but with the Azure Water Sword Sect's status in Wei County, they would give face to the Azure Water Sword Sect and let their subordinates take note of any traces of Chu Xiu in their territories. But they didn't find any.
While the outside world was in an uproar, Chu Xiu was still hiding in the desolate mountains of Shang Mang Mountain in seclusion. For three consecutive months, he only ate some wild fruits and hunted wild beasts to alleviate his hunger. But Chu Xiu's cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds.
With the Glazed Gold Thread Gu, his injuries were completely healed. And with the help of the Glazed Gold Thread Gu, Chu Xiu stepped into the Xiantian Realm in one go.
Qi, blood, tendons, and bones were integrated into one, without any impurities. This was the Xiantian Realm. Among the three realms of Body Refinement, the Xiantian Realm had already cultivated the physical body to the extreme.
The cultivation of the martial dao had always been one step after another. The fifth level of Qi Controlling mainly cultivated one's qi, but where was the qi? Within the martial artist's dantian and meridians.
So in order to step into the fifth level of Qi Controlling, one had to first cultivate the physical body well.
Qi was water, and the physical body was like a vessel. How much water could be stored was completely dependent on the size of the vessel.
Chu Xiu stepped into the Xiantian Realm from the Body Tempering Realm. Although it took him less than a year, his foundation was incomparably solid.
Part of it was because of his hard work, but also the benefits of the Xiantian Technique and the Glazed Gold Thread Gu.
After breaking through to the Xiantian Realm, Chu Xiu was not in a hurry to come out.
Chu Xiu also familiarized himself with the Drizzle Dusk Red Sleeve Blade and the Great Abandoned Grappling Hand.
Actually, the best way to cultivate any martial technique was to adapt to it in actual combat. Right now, Chu Xiu had only cultivated it to the entry level.
After almost cultivating the two martial techniques to the entry level, Chu Xiu was ready to leave Shang Mang Mountain and head for Northern Yan.
Chu Xiu remembered clearly that not long after, an ancient relic appeared in the Northern Yan's Linzhong Commandery's Lu Yang Mountain. It attracted many martial artists to fight over it, and there were many good things in it.
Moreover, during that fight, there were no strong martial artists whose strength surpassed the fifth level of Qi Controlling. With Chu Xiu's current strength, he was qualified to enter and participate in it.
Of course, now Chu Xiu had no choice but to go to Northern Yan. He had killed Shen Mo and created the illusion that he was dead. There was no place for him in Wei County, at least not for the time being.
When leaving Shang Mang Mountain, Chu Xiu did not look for Han Bao and the others.
Although with Chu Xiu's current strength, he was not afraid of Han Bao's evil intentions. However, the longer he stayed in Wei County, the more danger he would face. Chu Xiu directly entered Shang Mang Mountain and entered Northern Yan. He did not even pass by Qingyuan Town, which was at the border.
If Chu Xiu's guess was correct, Gao Bei should be in Qingyuan Town. However, Chu Xiu did not look for him because there was no need to.
Gao Bei was a dependable person, but his personality was not suitable for the dangerous Jianghu. Chu Xiu asked him to bring a caravan to Qingyuan Town. Now that the Chu family had been destroyed, the Chu family's business in Qingyuan Town belonged to him. It was not bad to be a wealthy merchant who did not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
The Linzhong Commandery of Yan Country was next to Wei County. After passing by Qingyuan Town, Chu Xiu went straight to Shanyang Prefecture of Linzhong Commandery.
Shanyang Prefecture was also a large prefecture in Linzhong Commandery. The relic in Lu Yang Mountain still needed some time to open, so Chu Xiu planned to rest here for a while.
Moreover, the annual Secret Box Auction would begin in a few days in Linzhong County, and the location would be in Shan Yang Prefecture.
It was not one of those cheap secret chests of unknown origin, but one that had a long history. Although it was expensive, the items inside were undoubtedly more reliable. Chu Xiu just happened to know that there were a few good items in this auction.
The silver notes and purple gold he brought from the Chu family amounted to nearly a million taels of silver. Gold and silver were nothing to a true martial artist. Only strength mattered.
Therefore, Chu Xiu was prepared to spend all of these gold and silver treasures in exchange for treasures that could increase his strength.
As he stepped into Shanyang Prefecture, the pedestrians on the street all looked at Chu Xiu. The current Chu Xiu was a little too eye-catching.
After several months of closed-door training in Shang Mang Mountain, Chu Xiu's originally luxurious brocade robe had become dirty. His hair was also a mess. However, his aura did not seem like that of a beggar, so he was still quite eye-catching.
Chu Xiu frowned. He first found an inn to freshen up, then went to a tailor's shop to buy a new set of black warrior clothes. He also equipped his red sleeve blade with an inconspicuous sharkskin scabbard. After all, the design of the red sleeve blade was a little too eye-catching.
When he was in Tong Zhou Prefecture, Chu Xiu still deliberately concealed his strength, so he looked more like a young master of an aristocratic family.
But now, Chu Xiu was dressed in black and carried a blade. The biting cold edge of his body was like the edge of a blade. He was completely a young sabersman who was wandering in Jianghu.
