Chapter 711

Old Zhong's speed was so fast that he disappeared like a wisp of smoke. Even if Mengqi used his full strength and Wind-god's Legs, he could not catch up with him. He did not want to either. He was not a pure swordsman like Jiang Zhiwei, who would rather break than bend. If it was not necessary, he would not rashly challenge such a terrible person who surpassed him in terms of realm and strength.

With Mengqi's current strength, even with Precious Weapons and various means, he might not be able to defeat the weakest Half-step Exterior Scenery unless he met someone like Buddha's Lamp that could restrain him. Moreover, Old Zhong, who practiced Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon, would not make a life-or-death fight if there was no particularly important reason.

"Even a madman has love …" Mengqi thought of Old Zhong's whisper and muttered. He turned around and carefully examined each corpse.

Yao Xingliu looked like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. However, he was still a greenhorn and was a little scared to face so many miserable or strange corpses. He angrily withdrew from the "Corpse Forest" and sat by the fire in a daze. Li Chong had experienced the ups and downs tonight and was no longer worried about zombies. Moreover, he wanted to please arrester Little Su, so he accompanied Mengqi to examine the corpses.

Unfortunately, there were no other clues. Mengqi shook his head and walked to the fire. At this time, most of the courtyard had collapsed. There were cracks everywhere and it was a mess.

"Fortunately, it was not an Exterior like Crying Elder. Otherwise, Yao Xingliu would be fine, but Old Li would not have survived …" Mengqi thought with relief.

In a normal fight of the Exterior, the affected area was less than 10% of his area of influence. It was easy to concentrate the power. Only people like Crying Elder who had special skills could maximize the affected area to absorb as many ghosts as possible and improve the effect of their moves. Of course, if they encountered an evenly matched opponent, it would be difficult to accurately control each move and the affected area would be much larger. After a battle, it was possible to destroy a city and cut off a river.

The Swordsman of Ning Province who had turned into a "Zombie" was probably at the level of a beginner of the Exterior. He was stronger than Penbo Erba who had no unique skills or Precious Weapons. The affected area was certainly far smaller than Crying Elder. In addition, the enemy was much weaker than himself. He could control the power at will and concentrate the power, so the affected area was naturally very small.

It was precisely because of these two reasons that Li Chong was able to survive and Little Rascal Yao was able to raise his sword to help.

"Was that the Iron Fist of Nine Great Mountains?" Yao Xingliu asked after a moment of silence.

The Zhen of Wu Sect covered the southern part of Hua Province and the northern part of Ning Province. of Of Ning Province.

Recalling that it was Zhang Yuanshan who had introduced them to the Swordsman of Ning Province and the Iron Fist of Nine Great Mountains, Meng Qi's face darkened again. "Yes, I suspect it is the Swordsman of Ning Province."

"Rumor has it that those who are killed by the Life-changing Sect will come back to life and become evil spirits. It seems that the rumor is true." "But I don't think the Swordsman of Ning Province is really dead …" Yao Xingliu deliberately made an old face, but his baby face betrayed him.

The breath of the Swordsman of Ning Province was weak. He was half human and half ghost. Not only Meng Qi thought so, but Kid Yao, a half-baked Taoist, also thought so.

"Definitely not. Have you ever seen a dead person with memory?" Mengqi secretly said, "If he is really dead, his soul will drift away and his mind will wither. How can he have any memory?"

Even if he regained a wisp of vitality and became a zombie or ghost, his memory of this life would be fragmented and buried in the depths of his mind along with the incomplete mark of the past Samsara. Mengqi couldn't awaken it now. Therefore, the previous facts proved that the Swordsman of Ning Province was not really dead, but in a state between life and death. His memory was erased and his wisdom was restrained. He was considered a living dead. This might be the special feature of the Life-changing Sect's skill.

"Exactly. The Exterior experts killed by the Life-changing Sect can all become 'living dead' for them to order. Their strength hasn't decreased too much. The more they kill, the stronger they become. This is really worrying. We must take action on this matter." Mengqi answered in a tone that represented the righteousness of the imperial court and the justice of the martial arts world.

Yao Xingliu nodded solemnly. "I will report this to the sect."

For so many years, the Life-changing Sect had killed so many people. Just thinking about it was scary!

However, they acted secretly and the appearance of the 'living dead' had changed. Usually, they didn't leave anyone alive. Therefore, they had never been exposed.

"I will also draft an official document to go to Luoyang." Mengqi looked serious. "There is not much value here. Let's go back to the city together."

Yao Xingliu and Li Chong both agreed with this proposal.

Yao Xingliu kept silent along the way. When they were about to separate after entering the city, he said with Secret Voice-sending, "You, you are 'Killing Blade' Su Meng, right?"

He had a sword and a blade, was in the enlightenment realm, was powerful, and was surnamed Su. With so many conditions added together, Li Chong might not be able to guess it due to his lack of knowledge, but Yao Xingliu was a clever person and naturally had an idea.

Yao Xingliu did not run away just now, so Mengqi was more confident in his character. He sighed and said, "Killing Blade."

Anyway, it was useless to deny it.

"No wonder … If there is a chance next time, I will definitely challenge you!" Yao Xingliu was full of fighting spirit and turned to leave.

He had been wondering where Senior Brother Zhang had found such a friend. If there was such a young master with strength on the Ranking List of Young Masters near Zhenwu, how could he, who was known as a martial arts addict, not know?

It seemed that he had made friends when he went to Shaolin Temple. The friend with the surname Meng was Su Meng's surname.

"Old Li, where did Xiao Yue's adventure come from?" Mengqi only roughly read the introduction of Xiao Yue in the secret file. He did not know the details.

Li Chong had been a constable in Yangxia for many years. Even without reading the secret file, he knew about it. "It is said to be a thatched hut of 'Dongyang God'."

"Dongyang God …" Mengqi carefully recalled who this person was.

In the last years of ancient times and the beginning of medieval times, the Human Emperor shocked the world and suppressed the world. There were many masters of the Human Tribe, and 'Dongyang God' was one of them. Even if he was not one of the best, he must have reached the level of Dharmakaya. It was said that he had something to do with 'Saint Emperor' Qi who succeeded the throne after the Human Emperor passed away.

"Did you find anything else in the thatched hut?" Mengqi asked doubtfully. "Could it be that there was only a sword dance and a Qianyuan Composing Bead?"

Li Chong shook his head. "I don't know. It seems that the thatched hut is only open to the fated. Even Xiao Yue herself couldn't find the entrance the second time she tried. Experts of the Exterior from Zhenwu, Huanyuan Zheng, Pingjin Cui, and our Six Fan School have come to search but found nothing."

"I see …" Mengqi did not ask further. After returning to the Six Fan School, he took out his Green Ribbon Official Seal and activated the misty green light to subdue the arresters on night duty. Then he called for Governor Zheng and asked him to take out a special paper and pen, which were specially prepared for the Formation of A Thousand Miles Together.

The Formation of A Thousand Miles Together allowed one to travel a thousand miles in an instant. However, it was limited to special objects and experts of the Exterior. It was expensive to use once. It was exclusive to the Six Fan School. In order to keep it a secret and save money, the Yamen's layout was not complete. The core was in the headquarters in Luoyang, and it could only be activated with a special seal.

"… We must order the nearby four prefectures and River East to be on guard against Old Zhong and Swordsman of Ning Province. One of them is cruel and the other is mentally handicapped …" Mengqi reported everything that had happened that night, including the Life-changing Sect's Zombies. However, he concealed his Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth, saying that he had suffered a backlash because he could not control it.

"Is there a problem?" Mengqi handed the document to Old Li and asked him to sign it. First, it was to prove that he was a participant, and second, it was to share some of the credit with him and Governor Zheng.

Li Chong was so excited that his whole body trembled. He signed his name after a quick glance and then handed it to Zheng Jushan.

Facing Green-ribbon Su, Zheng Jushan did not have the will to resist. Moreover, he had also shared the credit, so he was satisfied and immediately signed his name.

Mengqi looked on with a smile, feeling smug. It was really different to sneak into an organization. All the information about his Kung Fu came from his own hands, so he could hide whatever he wanted.

After sending the document away, Mengqi said directly, "Old Zhong's trail has been cut off. We must investigate the Qiu family. The most important thing now is to determine which ship Arrester Cai boarded."

"Green-ribbon Su, according to the secret file, there were three ships of the Qiu family at the dock that night." Zheng Jushan was very respectful as he flipped through the secret file. "Two returned from River East, and one came from Yedu."

"It should be one of the two from River East." This judgment was simple and clear. Mengqi knew that Zheng Jushan and Li Chong could make similar deductions, but they did not say anything and waited for him to speak.

"Green-ribbon Su is wise." Li Chong immediately praised him. "We only need to check these two ships at night."

Zheng Jushan frowned and said, "Green-ribbon Su, it has been more than a month. Any traces should have been erased by the Qiu family. Moreover, one of the ships has gone to River East with full cargo. Why don't we just arrest them and interrogate them?"

"It doesn't matter. Let's go to the dock first and reorganize the case." Mengqi looked like a famous detective. He was only short of smoking a pipe.

"Reorganize the case … What is this?" Zheng Jushan and Li Chong were experienced in cases, but they had never heard of this term.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the dock at night.

"According to the sailor, he got off the ship from that position and walked here. On the way, he saw Arrester Cai leaving the Qiu family's ship and bumped into him. Let's go back the way we came." Mengqi led Zheng Jushan and Li Chong to "play" the sailor.

There were many ships at the Yangxia dock. They covered each other and limited vision. Zheng Jushan and Li Chong followed Mengqi for a few steps and immediately found clues.

"With the sailor's vision, he could only see the Qiu family's ship!" Zheng Jushan said in a low voice. From this position, they could see a large number of junk ships. Most of the Qiu family's ships were blocked.

Li Chong finally understood what reorganize the case meant. He said in surprise, "That ship came from River East and is being repaired at the dock."

He had memorized the information and the secret files.

"There is a clue." Mengqi couldn't hide his pride. He took the two to the nearby dock and quietly sneaked into the poorly guarded junk ship.

It was clean inside and no clues could be found. However, Mengqi found that the ship was so badly damaged that it hadn't been repaired for more than a month.

"It's not caused by a battle …" Zheng Jushan concluded.

Li Chong squatted down to check. "It's broken from the inside. It seems that the ship couldn't bear it and reached its limit."

Mengqi suddenly thought of Arrester Cai's half a month's journey from River East to Yangxia. He had a flash of inspiration. "This junk ship must have traveled at night with the help of external forces and returned to Yangxia in half a month."

"That's possible!" After being reminded, Zheng Jushan and Li Chong both thought of the special time of half a month.

"The Qiu family is so anxious. What happened?" Zheng Jushan frowned. Qiu Fei had been calm and composed for more than a month without a trace of anxiety.

Mengqi pondered for a moment and said, "This is a serious matter. You two leave first. I'll 'ask' the Qiu family servants who are guarding the junk ship."

"Yes, Green-ribbon." The two didn't dare to say more.

With Mengqi's skills, he quickly caught a servant without anyone noticing. He released his powerful Will-projecting. "You took this junk ship to return from River East?"

"Yes," the servant answered honestly.

"Did you find anything unusual?" Mengqi went deeper.

The servant answered without hesitation, "We traveled very fast at night. We were afraid that the enemy would catch up with us."

"Enemy?" Mengqi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," the servant said, "Sir said there were enemies."

"Why were there enemies? Did you hear anything? "Mengqi asked thoughtfully.

The servant shook his head. "I don't know. But one day when I was on night duty, I fell asleep even though I wasn't sleepy. I vaguely felt that Sir was fighting with the enemy on the river and mentioned Dongyang and Dongyang Villa … "

Dongyang Villa … Mengqi took a deep breath.
