Chapter 106 Outlaws
"Um?"
Yang Changsheng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
His powerful divine sense swept over the area the instant the loud noise erupted, capturing the breathtaking scene in the neighboring courtyard.
Liu Yanlong was covered in blood, his chest was sunken, and his left arm hung limply, clearly at his last gasp.
His eyes were bloodshot, and a visible layer of crimson flames engulfed his body, his aura violent and chaotic.
Before him, a short, stocky cultivator wielding a giant axe with a ghost-like head fell straight down, his chest pierced by a crimson short spear formed from burning blood essence!
Meanwhile, several other fierce figures, exuding the aura of the eighth or even ninth level of Qi Refining perfection, pounced on the teetering Liu Yanlong from different directions, filled with shock, anger, and a murderous intent.
"boom!"
Fierce sword flashes, insidious claw shadows, and heavy fist imprints intertwined to form a web of death.
The life force that erupted using a secret technique was quickly extinguished under the onslaught.
The whole process was as fast as lightning. From the explosion of the secret technique and the death of the short, stocky cultivator to Liu Yanlong being instantly dismembered, it only took two or three breaths!
Yang Changsheng even saw the other party, the instant Liu Yanlong fell, swiftly roll his body, along with the remains of his short, stocky subordinate, into a storage bag.
At the same time, a strange, dark green light flashed, instantly purifying most of the remaining bloodstains and traces of battle on the ground.
"hiss……"
Yang Changsheng gasped, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Even though he had personally experienced the counterattack at Black Wind Pass, the assassins from the Wang family, and the ambush by flying boats.
But what was happening right now was inside the market, not far from where I was standing.
The swift, decisive, ruthless, and bloody intrusion still sent a chill down his spine, running from his feet to the top of his head.
"How dare they be so audacious as to openly engage in magical combat and murder within the Thousand Snow City!"
He was deeply shocked and gained a completely new understanding of the unbridled nature of the Blood Wolf Clan cultivators.
These are no ordinary cultivators; they are a group of ruthless and experienced outlaws who act without any scruples!
The way that man named Fan Tu disposed of the scene at the end clearly indicated that he was a repeat offender.
"Clang...clang!"
The sound of the spirit bell reverberated from the high tower in the core area of the market, its sonic waves spreading and sending shivers down one's spine.
Several powerful auras suddenly erupted, tearing through the air from different directions at an astonishing speed, their target being Liu Yanlong's courtyard.
The leader was dressed in the distinctive black robes of the Lu family's enforcement team. He moved like lightning and exuded a powerful aura. He was a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining!
His face was so dark it was almost dripping with water, and his eyes burned with boundless rage.
Behind him were four law enforcement officers with equally powerful auras, the lowest of whom were at least at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
"Outrageous! Who dares to commit murder in Qianxue Market! How dare they! Do they think my Lu family's law enforcement team is just for show?"
Before the person even arrived, a furious shout, like rolling thunder, resounded through the void, causing ripples to appear in the protective arrays of several nearby courtyards.
Although Qianxue Market has only been established for a little over ten years, its reputation for rapid growth is well-established, and with the genius Foundation Establishment expert Lu Qianxue in charge, its rules and regulations are extremely strict.
No one has ever dared to commit murder so blatantly in the heart of a residential area, and to cause such a commotion.
This is not only challenging the rules of the Lu family, but also blatantly slapping the Lu family in the face!
If this matter is not handled properly and the murderer goes unpunished, the prestige of the market will plummet. As the law enforcement captain in charge of this security environment, he will be held absolutely responsible, and his fate will be predictable.
Lu Yuanfeng moved with lightning speed, landing first in front of the dilapidated gate of Liu Yanlong's courtyard.
The courtyard gate had already been smashed in the fierce battle, and the inside was a mess.
His gaze was piercing, and his powerful divine sense instantly covered the entire courtyard.
"Captain, there are remnants of a concealing formation in the courtyard. They were of high quality, but they were forcibly broken!"
One of the team members immediately stepped forward and pointed to several dull, cracked fragments of the array plate on the ground.
"There are signs of a fierce battle here! The remaining spiritual energy is extremely chaotic and violent, indicating a clash at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining!"
Another team member used spells to probe the deep cracks and burns on the ground, the corroded pits, and gave a somber report.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and the smell of burning.
Lu Yuanfeng squatted down, a soft white light shining from his fingertips, and pressed it onto a few drops of blood that had not been completely cleaned and had an eerie dark green color.
The moment the white light touched the dark green bloodstains, it emitted a faint "sizzling" sound and a wisp of black smoke rose up.
His face grew even paler: "Such a vicious aura! It's the Blood Wolf Clan's 'Ghost Hand' bone-corroding poison! And... the aura of the Blood-Breaking Demon Technique... it's Fan Tu! There's no mistake!"
Lu Yuanfeng stood up, his gaze sweeping over the courtyard, which had been cleaned exceptionally well, yet still bore traces of imperfection. His voice was icy:
"The scene was handled with special methods to destroy evidence and eliminate the body. The methods were sophisticated. The remaining cold and evil aura and poison point to Fan Tu and his gang of Blood Wolves. The target... should be Liu Yanlong, the demon hunter who rented this place."
"The Blood Wolf Gang? They actually dared to venture deep into the market area to make their move?"
The team members' expressions changed, clearly having heard of this notorious gang of robbers.
"Hmph! How audacious!"
Lu Yuanfeng snorted angrily and said in a deep voice, "Immediately issue a notice that a home invasion, murder, and robbery has occurred. The victim, Liu Yanlong, has been murdered. The murderer is suspected to be either involved in internal strife within the Demon Hunting Group or seeking revenge from an enemy. The methods used were cruel, and the body was destroyed to cover up the crime."
"Slight clues left at the scene point to certain itinerant cultivator raiding groups. Effective immediately, Qianxue Market will increase patrols and impose martial law. All entrances and exits will be strictly checked for unfamiliar cultivators. Anyone entering the market must register their identity, background, and cultivation level in detail, and undergo identity verification using a jade talisman! At the same time, a reward is offered for any valid clues in this case. Anyone who provides a clue will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones!"
The order was issued swiftly.
Soon, the investigation notice issued by the Lu Family Law Enforcement Hall was posted all over the bulletin boards in the market.
The content was carefully worded, only characterizing it as a suspected internal strife involving murder and robbery, vaguely pointing the finger at a roving band of thieves.
The specific details of the Blood Wolf Gang were omitted, clearly indicating a desire not to alert them, but it also clearly expressed the Lu family's fury and determination to thoroughly investigate.
The announcement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
Rumors spread like wildfire throughout the market.
"Have you heard? Someone died in Cuizhu Lane... right in the residential area!"
"It's said he was a demon hunter who was killed when a group of people broke into his yard! They didn't even leave a body behind!"
"Even the Lu family's enforcement team was alerted. Captain Lu Yuanfeng arrived personally, his face ashen, as if he wanted to kill someone!"
"Tsk tsk, what roaming bandit group? It's clearly the Blood Wolf Gang. I heard someone investigated that Yin energy aura; it's probably Fan Tu and his group who took action themselves!"
"Shh! Shut up! Are you out of your mind? How dare you mention their names!"
"The Lu family has really lost face this time, getting their tenants ripped off on their own turf... Is this market still safe?"
