Yang Fan was also taken aback.
He made a move just like that. He was really decisive in killing!
She did not expect Old Master Qu to look like a kind-hearted peacemaker but when he killed someone, he did not hesitate at all. His hands were very steady.
As expected, none of the martial arts experts who could survive until now in this world were easy to deal with.
Yang Fan lowered his head and looked at Ding Mian and the others who were no longer breathing on the ground. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
The three Grand Masters at the peak of the Grand Master Realm came here happily and arrogantly, as if they were going to fight against the heavens, the earth, and the air. They probably never thought that they would die here so easily today.
At the end of the day, it was because they did not have a strong backing. Look at Su Li. He was clearly courting death, but he had a great grandfather who was in the King Realm. Who would dare to kill him easily?
Therefore, one should not be too arrogant. One should not be too arrogant.
One should be like Yang Fan. He should be modest and polite at all times. He should be neither arrogant nor rash. He should constantly increase his strength and expand his connections. He should strive to become an indispensable existence. Only in this way would he not be easily abandoned at the critical moment.
"Thank you, Old Master Qu!"
Seeing that Ding Mian and the others were all killed by Qu Hongde, Sha Qingsi could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. She bowed respectfully to Qu Hongde again and thanked him.
She purposely kicked Ding Mian and the other two to Yang Fan and Qu Hongde's side. Other than wanting to report to Yang Fan, more importantly, she wanted to borrow Qu Hongde's hand to completely end today's dispute.
She was the Chief Supervisor of the Inspection Division. Facing the three officials of the Ministry of Salaries, she could beat or cripple them, but she could not completely kill them. This was the bottom line that the House of Guardians drew for the public officials.
Unless there was enough evidence to prove that Ding Mian and the others had colluded with the enemy and committed treason, they could not escape the crime of killing each other even if they were of the same clan.
However, Qu Hongde was different.
Not to mention that Qu Lao had already advanced to become a new king, even if he hadn't, his status was enough to punish Ding Mian and the other two severely.
Now, Qu Hongde was just as she thought. He abhorred evil and did not give Ding Mian and the other two a chance to defend themselves in the city. This was what Sha Qingsi wanted.
"There's no need for that." Qu Hongde shook his head slightly. Killing three masters at the peak of the Supreme Power Realm was like killing three insignificant chicks. Old Master Qu raised his hand and pointed at them. He told Sha Qingsi in a low voice, "Send someone to send these three bodies back to the Salary Department later. Tell them that they were killed by I. If they have any objections, they can come to I!"
He was just that domineering.
Even a good-natured person had a temper. Qu Hongde was usually very clear-headed in the face of such major issues. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a reputation in the northwest for nearly a hundred years.
"Thank you again, Senior!" Sha Qingsi bowed again and asked Qu Hongde softly, "Regarding Su Li, I wonder if senior is going to …?"
Obviously, Sha Qingsi knew about the relationship between Su Li and Qu Hongde. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked this question.
Qu Hongde raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I have helped him to stop most of the trouble he caused. I can't take responsibility for him. He's still a member of your Monitoring Department. You can deal with him as you see fit. You don't have to give this old man face!"
The corner of Yang Fan's mouth twitched.
Don't have to give him face?
This old man said it nicely, but the problem was, who would dare to not give him face? Sha Qingsi was not stupid. She certainly wouldn't dare to not give him face!
This was a newly advanced King Stage expert. She couldn't wait to curry favor with him. Who would be bold enough to give him a bad impression?
"Let's do as you say, Senior." Sha Qingsi made a decision in an instant and said, "Remove Su Li from the position of captain and demote him to an ordinary supervisor. We'll see what happens next."
Qu Hongde nodded with satisfaction. Everyone said that Sha Qingsi was very stubborn. Now it seemed like she was quite easy to talk to.
Sha Qingsi's current punishment was countless times better than Yang Fan's plan for Su Li to take the blame, admit his guilt, lose his reputation, and commit suicide. So, how could he be dissatisfied?
At the very least, Su Li's life was saved.
"Young Friend Yang Fan, you're the one who suffered the most in this matter." Qu Hongde didn't agree directly, and he turned to look at Yang Fan instead. "May I know if you have any objections?"
Yang Fan hurriedly shook his head. "How could I dare to have any objections, Senior? This is quite good. The main culprit has been killed, and the accomplices have been severely punished. I can't thank you enough!"
Qu Hongde directly killed Ding Mian and the others. At the same time that he helped Yang Fan vent his anger, it was equivalent to taking all the blame that originally belonged to Su Li on himself. So, what else could Yang Fan say?
It wasn't worth it to offend a newly advanced King Stage expert for an insignificant Su Li.
"So, this matter has come to an end." Qu Hongde nodded lightly and said, "I still have things to do, so I can't stay here for long. I won't disturb you anymore!"
After he finished speaking, Qu Hongde's figure turned from solid to illusory and gradually faded until it disappeared without a trace.
"You observed the second grade Martial King Qu Hongde using the Law of Darkness. You felt something in your heart, but you couldn't fully comprehend it because of your insufficient strength!"
The corner of Yang Fan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect to encounter such a terrible situation again. Qu Hongde clearly knew that he wasn't strong enough, yet he still reminded him. Wasn't he deliberately trying to make him unable to sleep at night?
Strength, oh strength, why was it always insufficient?
Yang Fan shook his head helplessly. With his current strength, the gap between him and a King Stage expert was huge. Perhaps when he reached the peak of the Master Stage or a Spiritual Spiritualist, he would be able to gain experience from these King Stage experts.
"Don't blame Elder Qu for being biased. Su Li's ancestor once lost his life to save Elder Qu. Elder Qu is so biased towards Su Li to repay his kindness." Sha Qingsi was afraid that Yang Fan would hold a grudge, so she explained to him in a soft voice.
Yang Fan laughed heartily and said, "Sister Sha, you're overthinking. I don't mean to blame Elder Qu. Humans aren't saints. Who doesn't have a little bit of selfishness? If it were me, I would definitely be more biased than Elder Qu. If you can't even protect your family after becoming an expert, then what's the point of becoming an expert? "
What Yang Fan said was the truth. Everyone had their own selfish motives. If they were in a life-threatening situation, and one side was their own family, and the other side was an unrelated outsider, a normal person would definitely save their own family first. This was human nature.
It was precisely because Qu Hongde had such selfish motives and was so protective that Yang Fan felt that Qu Hongde was a reliable thigh that could be used more often in the future.
"You're quite open-minded. Since that's the case, what are you still standing there for?"
Sha Qingsi glanced at Yang Fan and ordered without any hesitation, "Why aren't you helping me move these three stubborn grandsons onto the dirigible? Also, quickly undo Su Li's hypnotism later. His backer is too strong. We can't afford to offend him. "
Yang Fan nodded speechlessly. He saw that the Yunleng Type-I dirigible had already lowered its altitude and was only a few hundred meters above the ground. The hatch was wide open. With a thought, Yang Fan directly moved the corpses of Ding Mian and the others into the dirigible.
The most basic operation of a telekinesis master was telekinesis. For a Level 8 telekinesis master like Yang Fan, not to mention three corpses, even if he wanted to move the entire Yunleng Type-I airship away, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Alright!" Yang Fan clapped his hands and said, "The thought I left in Su Li's sea of consciousness has been removed. He won't continue to court death by himself."
"In addition, Su Li has removed all the surveillance on the dirigible regarding my contact with the two level seven demonic plants for me. Next, I hope Sister Sha can help me a little. Don't show off your wealth."
Twenty level seven spirit fruits and more than two hundred high-level demonic nuclei. Even the officials who were already at the peak of the Master Stage were greedy and almost killed Yang Fan. If the news were to spread, Yang Fan would never be able to live in peace after he went out.
Sha Qingsi nodded and said, "Don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I will cover it up for you. Later, I will give the rest of the people a gag order. Without my permission, they won't dare to talk."
"Moreover, when you were fooling that dumb wood, they didn't notice anything unusual and weren't very clear about what happened."
"If that's the case, that's great!" With the assurance of Sha Qingsi, the big sister, Yang Fan instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
It was easier to get things done when there were people in the imperial court. What originally seemed like a big problem and loophole was perfectly filled with Sha Qingsi, the chief supervisor.
"Oh, there's more!" Yang Fan's mind moved slightly and once again summoned the red-eyed demonic cat from the pet space. He whispered to Sha Qingsi, "Cover up the news that I tamed this little cat."
Sha Qingsi was stunned and asked Yang Fan in surprise, "Why? Now that you're rich, you don't even care about the reward offered by the Federation government?"
One billion Federation coins was nothing, but the value of the level eight spiritual medicine was definitely not something that could be bought with a few hundred million or even a few billion.
The level seven spirit fruits that Yang Fan obtained this time already had such a magical effect. One could imagine that the level eight spiritual medicine's effect would definitely be even more amazing.
"I don't need it for now. I want to use it as a secret weapon. I don't want it to be exposed prematurely."
Yang Fan shook his head slightly. Level eight spiritual medicine was indeed very rare to him, but it was too eye-catching. If something went wrong, he would become the target of public criticism. The gains would not make up for the losses.
More importantly, because of the idea of the Ten Thousand Year Silver Cathaya transforming into a human, and the red-eyed demonic cat previously mentioned that the human race had the possibility of ruling over the demon race, Yang Fan now felt that it might be more valuable to send the red-eyed demonic cat back as a spy.
Perhaps one day, this little demonic cat could grow into a great demon that could rule over Beast Kings as its servants.
"Alright! As long as you like it! "
Sha Qingsi did not insist. Now that she had successfully advanced to the half-step King Realm, her desire for spiritual medicine was no longer as strong as before. Therefore, she did not really care.
"Now, let's continue with the competition!"
"I hope that there won't be any more accidents in the remaining few hours!"
As she spoke, Sha Qingsi bid farewell to Yang Fan and flew back to the Cloud-edge I Airship. Then, the airship rose into the sky and continued to monitor the entire competition area.
