Just when everyone thought that Su Xin was already dead, Su Xin walked out of Tongtian Island with Wu Yuanchun's corpse.
The moment he walked out of Tongtian Island, the entire island was instantly enveloped in flames and sank to the bottom of the lake.
No one present could react to this change. Tongtian Island would sink to the bottom of Yanming Lake in the past, but that was only because of the array formation. When the time came, it would automatically hide.
But now, the entire Tongtian Island was torn apart and swallowed by the heavenly fire. Tongtian Island's arsenal was completely destroyed!
What was going on? Did the battle between Su Xin and the others just now completely sink the entire Tongtian Island arsenal?
That was an independent space. Even a Yang Spirit realm warrior probably did not have such strength, right?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Su Xin said to the few Jianghuai Path constables who remained outside, "The White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden, Bai Ling, conspired to obtain the essence of the heavenly fire. Lord Wu and I fought against her, but in the end, she used a secret technique to empower Green Lotus Envoy. In the end, Lord Wu sacrificed himself for his country, and the arsenal of Tongtian Island was burned to the ground.
Go inform the secret agents of Six Doors and the Chief of Jianghuai Path's army to deal with this matter. Also, bring your lord's corpse back for a proper burial. "
The Jianghuai Path constables looked at each other and did not know what to say.
Logically speaking, their boss, Wu Yuanchun, should be considered Su Xin's enemy, so they should also be enemies with Su Xin.
But now that Wu Yuanchun was dead, if they still treated Su Xin coldly, that would be purely courting death.
So now that they heard Su Xin's orders, they immediately ordered people to carry Wu Yuanchun's corpse away.
Looking at the chaotic scene and the people of the pugilistic world who were in a heated discussion, Su Xin turned around and left. He waited for the secret agents of the Investigation Agency to arrive and then let them pass the news back to the headquarters in Shengjing.
Although Su Xin could also say that Wu Yuanchun colluded with the people of the White Lotus Sect, he was a chief of detectives and an old man who had followed Tie Ao to conquer the world in the past. But now he had betrayed the Six Fan School and colluded with the White Lotus Sect. This kind of thing did not sound good.
Although Su Xin had no loyalty to the Six Fan School, he was now one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Fan School. No matter what, he had to protect the reputation of the Six Fan School.
Moreover, there was no evidence that Wu Yuanchun colluded with the White Lotus Sect. Although no one would say anything publicly based on Su Xin's words, it was hard to guarantee that people like Fang Jiuyuan would not be suspicious in secret and complain about other things.
Moreover, Wu Yuanchun was killed by Bai Ling, which was a bit difficult to explain. Could he just say that Bai Ling had gone crazy and killed Wu Yuanchun under the internal conflict?
Although this was true, not many people would believe it if he said it.
Therefore, Su Xin simply got rid of the warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who were killed by him. At the same time, he gave Wu Yuanchun the title of a heroic sacrifice. This made things much easier. Anyway, he did die in the hands of Bai Ling.
As for what Bai Ling would say, Su Xin did not care. Based on her attributes of the White Lotus Sect alone, no matter what she said, everyone's first impression would be that she was trying to sow discord.
As for Su Xin, although his reputation in Jianghu was very bad, at least he, Su Xin, was a man of his word. This was recognized by most people in Jianghu.
The incident on Tongtian Island was somewhat unexpected by Jianghu people. After all, the emergence of the White Lotus Sect was also a major event. Among the Nine Hells, the White Lotus Sect's deterrent power was enough to rank first.
The action of the imperial court was not slow. After Su Xin sent the news, Tie Ao immediately asked Su Xin to temporarily take charge of the affairs of Jianghuai Road and thoroughly investigate the White Lotus Sect. If traces of the White Lotus Sect were found in Jianghuai Road, they were to be immediately killed without mercy!
To be honest, Su Xin was also quite surprised when he received this news.
Su Xin originally thought that this had nothing to do with him. He did not expect that Tie Ao would actually give this power to him again.
In fact, as one of the four Super Arresters, Su Xin's territory was actually the smallest among the four chief arresters.
Normally, the territory that Su Xin controlled should be Jiangnan, Jianghuai, and Jiangbei.
Among these three roads, needless to say, Jiangnan Road naturally followed Su Xin's lead, but Jiangbei Road was like a sidekick to Su Xin.
And Jianghuai Road was Wu Yuanchun's base camp. One could imagine his attitude towards Su Xin.
Now that Wu Yuanchun was dead, Su Xin had an excuse to intervene in the affairs of Jianghuai Road. However, Fang Jiuyuan and the others would definitely obstruct him. They would even find someone from their faction or an Essence Soul Realm martial artist belonging to a neutral force to be the chief arrester of Jianghuai Road.
Anyway, no matter who was going to be the chief arrester, it could not be Su Xin. That was the right thing to do.
However, it was a pity that their plan was useless this time because Tie Ao directly ordered Su Xin to temporarily take charge of the affairs of Jianghuai Road. This also made Fang Jiuyuan and the others very depressed.
In fact, this was also normal. It was not that Tie Ao was biased towards Su Xin, but Tie Ao considered this matter from the perspective of the Six Fan School.
Now Fang Jiuyuan and the other two were still suppressing the local martial arts forces in other roads and could not get away at all.
If they were all summoned to Shengjing City for a discussion at this time, it would be purely a waste of time.
Moreover, with Su Xin's strength and the proximity of Jianghuai Road to Jiangnan Road, it was also convenient for Su Xin to mobilize his forces. Therefore, the affairs of Jianghuai Road were naturally handled by Su Xin.
As for the future, the position of the chief arrester of Jianghuai Road would naturally be appointed by Su Xin, and it was not up to others to intervene.
Of course, Su Xin would not let go of such a beneficial thing, so he simply explained the actions on Li Bo's side. Su Xin did not even refine the Essence of Heaven Fire. Instead, he went directly to the chief arrester of Jianghuai Road, ready to completely integrate the forces of Jianghuai Road, and then he could rest assured and go into closed-door cultivation.
At this time, the Six Fan School of Jianghuai Road was also in a mess. The expressions on the faces of the deputy chief arresters in the Divine Transformation Realm were already anxious. Obviously, they did not know how to deal with this matter.
Wu Yuanchun had stayed in Jianghuai Road for a long time, and his methods were not bad. Therefore, Wu Yuanchun's prestige in the entire Jianghuai Road was actually the same as that of Su Xin in Jiangnan Road.
Therefore, there were only two kinds of warriors present. One was Wu Yuanchun's confidants, and the other was the confidants of the confidants.
These people were all warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. Su Xin had also seen them in the information before, but he did not care about them.
It was not that he looked down on these warriors. If Li Bo were to make a move, it would not be difficult for him to fight against ten of them with his current strength. For ordinary warriors, the current Li Bo had actually reached the limit of warriors in the same realm.
At this time, these warriors, who Su Xin did not take seriously, were almost in a mess.
For them, Wu Yuanchun was the person they were loyal to. It did not matter whether he was a confidant or a confidant of the confidants. At least, Wu Yuanchun was really good to them.
However, the problem was that Wu Yuanchun was now dead. Naturally, they also had to think about the living. What should they do next?
As soon as Wu Yuanchun died, they were like headless flies, not knowing what to do. Even if someone was really interested in the position of chief arrester, it would have to be approved by the headquarters of the Six Fan School. It was useless for them to fight here.
Most importantly, they did not know how to face Su Xin.
In the past, when Wu Yuanchun and Su Xin were enemies, they did not care whether Su Xin was one of the four Super Arresters or not. Anyway, they only needed to follow Wu Yuanchun.
Now that Wu Yuanchun was dead, would they still work for him?
Wu Yuanchun was already dead. If they went out to provoke Su Xin, would they be killed directly like the Ning family of the Alchemy Fire Sword Pavilion?
This group of people was very wary of Su Xin. Therefore, when Wu Yuanchun's body was first carried back, they carefully studied it for a while, trying to find some clues.
Outsiders would believe Su Xin's letter of resignation without hesitation. However, they were now full of doubts because of the scandal between Wu Yuanchun and Su Xin. Was their master really killed by the saintess of the White Lotus Sect?
No matter how strong Bai Ling was, it was unlikely that she could kill Wu Yuanchun. Even if there was an unknown Green Lotus Messenger, it was unlikely.
Therefore, the biggest possibility was that all of this was actually orchestrated by Su Xin. He wanted to completely destroy Wu Yuanchun, so he joined forces with the sorcerer of the White Lotus Sect to kill Wu Yuanchun.
However, these were just their guesses. Although they were infinitely close to the truth of the matter, they did not have any evidence, nor did they find any clues on Wu Yuanchun's body.
And Wu Yuanchun was indeed killed by the cultivation method of the White Lotus Sect, so they could only give up on this matter.
As a result, the news that Su Xin was given full responsibility for the affairs of Jianghuai Path suddenly came. Everyone present was a little flustered.
One of the warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm sighed and said, "Everyone, this time we are in trouble. In the past, we followed Lord Wu and slandered Su Xin a lot. Now that he is temporarily in charge of the affairs of Jianghuai Path, what will happen to us?"
He was an old man in the Six Fan School of Jianghuai Path, the deputy chief of detectives, Jiang Chaoyang.
Although he was the oldest deputy chief of detectives in Jianghuai Path, because Wu Yuanchun's prestige was unparalleled in Jianghuai Path, there was really no such thing as a deputy chief of detectives fighting for power and profit with the chief of detectives.
Therefore, after Wu Yuanchun and several of his confidants died, Jiang Chaoyang, who had always been a good person, temporarily took over the position of chief of detectives in Jianghuai Path. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.
However, there was a strange expression on the faces of the others present when they heard about this.
In the past, they secretly slandered Su Xin because Wu Yuanchun and Su Xin were enemies. Now that Wu Yuanchun was dead, Su Xin would not make things difficult for small characters like them, right? That would be too unworthy of his identity as one of the Four Great Super Arresters.
