Hu Jingyan bowed to the elder of the Xiao family and said, "Senior, Su Xin's ferocious nature has not changed. Before the Jiangnan Gathering began, he not only killed several lone cultivators, but he also killed Li Chenfeng, a warrior on the Ranking List of Young Masters who had a grudge against him!"
Everyone else sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Su Xin in horror.
Daring to attack a warrior on the Ranking List of Young Masters right before the Jiangnan Gathering began, this person really did not take the Xiao family seriously. Wasn't this a bit too bold?
The elder of the Xiao family immediately looked at Su Xin, and his aura was full of pressure. "Su Xin! Did you really kill Li Chenfeng? "
This elder of the Xiao family was probably in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. Su Xin had fought with the "Evil Slayer Monk" Jue Yan, who was in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. The aura of this elder of the Xiao family was useless against Su Xin.
"If I said that I did not kill Li Chenfeng, would you believe me?" Su Xin said calmly.
He could feel from this elder of the Xiao family that the elder did not seem to like him. He even seemed to dislike him a little.
The Xiao family was the organizer of the Jiangnan Gathering this time. As a descendant of the royal family, the Xiao family valued rules and etiquette the most. This elder of the Xiao family hated people like Su Xin who broke the rules the most.
He already knew that Su Xin had killed those lone cultivators, but this was just a small matter. Although it did not touch the bottom line of the Xiao family, it still made the elder feel disgusted.
Now that he saw that the main character of this matter was Su Xin, the elder of the Xiao family naturally showed this kind of emotion.
The elder of the Xiao family said coldly, "Whether or not you killed Li Chenfeng is not up to me. Go back first and wait for the trial of the Xiao family."
"Trial? Sorry, may I ask elder, what right does the Xiao family have to judge me? What right do you have to judge me? "Su Xin said coldly.
The elder of the Xiao family was stunned. Why? Was there a need to ask why?
The elder of the Xiao Clan wanted to say that the Xiao Clan was qualified to judge Su Xin just because they were the head of the Six Great Families and the top martial arts force in the world.
However, these words were a little too arrogant and would have a bad influence on their Xiao Clan. Thus, the Xiao Clan elder only snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to use clever words to defend yourself. Anyway, you are suspected of killing Li Chenfeng now, so you must follow me back to the Xiao Clan to be judged.
I advise you to obediently return with me. If you insist on forcing me to take action, I'm afraid you'll regret it. "
"Regret?" Su Xin shook his head. "I won't regret it. I've said it before, your Xiao Clan doesn't have the right to judge me. Even if I killed Li Chenfeng, you still don't have the right to judge me!"
The elder from the Xiao Clan was so angry that he laughed. "Fine, fine, fine. Today, I'll let you see whether or not my Xiao Clan has the right to judge you!"
When an Essence Soul realm powerhouse was enraged, he activated the Heaven and Earth powers around him. Immediately, the wind howled and thunder rumbled hundreds of feet around the Xiao Clan elder. It was extremely terrifying.
The Xiao Clan elder extended his hand, and a huge palm condensed from Vital Energy slammed down. Someone beside him who knew what it was exclaimed, "It's the Xiao Clan's Sky-Turning Palm!"
Just as the Xiao Clan elder's Sky-Turning Palm was about to land, Su Xin took out a token and said sternly, "I'm the Six Fans Gate's Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer. I'm directly under the jurisdiction of the Six Fans Gate's headquarters. Apart from the imperial court and the Six Fans Gate, who else in the world has the right to judge me?"
The Xiao Clan elder's Sky-Turning Palm stopped abruptly. He looked at the token in Su Xin's hand with an extremely ugly expression.
As an Essence Soul realm Martial Dao master and an Elder of the Xiao Clan, he had naturally dealt with the Six Fans Gate before and recognized the token.
The reason was that Su Xin was just an ordinary martial artist without any background. He did not expect him to suddenly become the Six Fans Gate's Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer!
Su Xin smiled faintly and said, "Elder, do you still want to judge me now? Li Chenfeng is the imperial court's Martial Tanhua, and I'm the Six Fans Gate's Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer. Do I have a reason to kill him just because of some personal dispute?
Moreover, even if I really killed him, it's not your Xiao Clan's turn to judge me, right? If the Li Clan has any objections, they can come to the Six Fans Gate to reason with my superior. "
The Xiao Clan elder's expression became very ugly. He really could not do anything to Su Xin now. The identity of the Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer was indeed very troublesome.
As one of the two largest military organizations in the imperial court, the Six Fans Gate's biggest characteristic was that it would protect its own. This was especially true for the Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer, who had very few members.
Although the Xiao Clan was strong and had even been conferred the title of Marquis An, they were not strong enough to challenge the Six Fans Gate with just their own strength.
Meanwhile, Hu Jingyan and the surrounding martial artists were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
Su Xin, a martial artist on the Ranking List of Young Masters, had suddenly become a Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer of the Six Fans Gate. This was big news.
However, these martial artists despised the change in Su Xin's identity.
No wonder he could cultivate so quickly even though he was a Loose Cultivator. In just two years, he had jumped from the bottom of the Ranking List of Young Masters to the 22nd place.
Originally, they thought that this was because Su Xin was talented and had good comprehension. Now, it seemed that he was just so-so. Didn't Su Xin rely on the Six Fans Gate to become a dog of the imperial court to obtain these cultivation resources?
The martial artists in the Jianghu, whether they were from sects or Loose Cultivators, did not have a good attitude towards the Six Fans Gate.
One of the martial artists even snorted in disdain and said, "A martial artist on the Ranking List of Young Masters is actually willing to become a dog of the imperial court. How sad and laughable!"
Su Xin's eyes narrowed, and he drew his sword with his left hand. A blood-red light flashed, and the head of the martial artist who had mocked him flew into the sky. Blood gushed out of the headless corpse like a fountain.
The elder of the Xiao Clan did not expect that Su Xin would dare to commit murder under his nose. He was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end. He shouted, "Su Xin! Do you really think that just because you are a Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer of the Six Fans Gate, you dare to behave so atrociously in the Jiangnan Prefecture? Do you really think that the Xiao Clan does not dare to touch you?
Even the chief constable of the Jiangnan Underworld, Jin Wulin, does not dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. You are looking down on the Xiao Clan! "
Su Xin laughed coldly in his heart. As a dog of the imperial court, he should have the awareness of a dog of the imperial court. His authority did not expire. With the backing of the Six Fans Gate, there were many things he could do.
Sheathing the sword in his hand, Su Xin said coldly, "All the land under the heavens belongs to the imperial court, and all those who lead the land are the imperial court's subjects!
All the land under the heavens belongs to the imperial court, but this person says that I am a dog of the imperial court. What does he think the imperial court is?
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. As a Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer of the Six Fans Gate, how can I allow this person to slander the imperial court?
Killing him would be considered a light punishment. If it is true, I would like to see which sect he is from. How dare he say such words? Is it because the elders of his sect taught him? Is it because the sect behind him does not respect the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom! "
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of some of the surrounding martial artists.
The Six Fans Gate had such a bad reputation because when the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom was just established, the world was unstable. Many sects were not convinced by the imperial court's Taoism, and some even openly opposed the Zhou Kingdom.
At that time, the Six Fans Gate played the role of an executioner, slaughtering sects and exterminating countless families.
Although decades had passed, and this kind of thing had not happened for a long time, many martial artists still could not forget the fear they had felt back then.
Only now that Su Xin had acted did they remember that the Six Fans Gate was not only the dog of the imperial court that they hated, but also a killing machine that could slaughter sects and families. You could hate it, but you could not not fear it!
The elder of the Xiao Family could not refute Su Xin's words. He could only wave his sleeves, turn, and leave.
Hu Jingyan wanted to take Li Chenfeng's body away, but Su Xin stepped forward and stopped him.
"Su Xin! Don't go too far! "
Hu Jingyan said angrily. "Li Chenfeng is already dead. Is it not enough for me to collect his body?"
Knowing that Su Xin was a Wind-Chasing Patrol Officer of the Six Fans Gate, Hu Jingyan had already given up on the idea of opposing Su Xin.
But no matter what, Li Chenfeng was still his good friend. Now that the Li Family was not in the Jiangnan Prefecture, he could not just leave Li Chenfeng's body exposed in the wilderness.
Su Xin said lightly, "Li Chenfeng was killed, and he died in the secret stronghold of the Six Fans Gate. This matter is very strange. As a patrol officer of the Six Fans Gate, of course I have to investigate. I still have use for his body. Once the investigation is done, I will naturally send him to the memorial hall."
Hu Jingyan had no choice but to leave hatefully. The other martial artists were the same. They hurriedly left, but they were going to spread the big news of the day.
After they left, Tie Yao Hua walked over and said, "Lord Su, your identity being exposed won't affect you in any way, will it?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I can hide my identity from the Six Fans Gate for a while, but I can't hide it forever. If someone wants to investigate the matter of me interacting with Master Tie Wuqing in Xiangnan, it won't be difficult to find traces of it. I'm just exposing myself a little earlier. It's not a big deal."
Tie Yao Hua nodded. She took out a pair of silk gloves and put them on. She turned Li Chenfeng's body over. She was not an amateur like Su Xin. She was very professional.
Su Xin said in surprise, "You know how to do autopsies?"
"Normal people in the Jianghu know how to do this. I was born in the Six Fans Gate, so of course I have to be more proficient," Tie Yao Hua said.
After looking back and forth, Tie Yao Hua said, "I can't see anything unusual. Li Chenfeng was killed by a palm strike that broke his meridians. It was a one-hit kill. The killer was very strong, and from the injuries, I couldn't tell what kind of martial arts the killer used."
Su Xin nodded. He brushed shoulders with the killer and could feel that the killer's Qinggong was extremely strong. It was even no weaker than his Wind-god's Legs.
"But I found this thing on Li Chenfeng's body. It seems to be a fragment of something."
Tie Yao Hua extended her hand. In her palm was a fragment the size of a thumb. It looked like some kind of jade, and there were some patterns on it.
