But if you don't tell the truth, the consequences will be equally serious.
After a slight hesitation, Xia Wenping made the first choice: "Master Cao, none of us in the Xia family know any clues about the Yishan murder case."
His answer made Cao Ji suspicious.
From Xia Wenping's brief moment of hesitation just now, Cao Ji could tell that there was something wrong with the Xia family.
He didn't say anything on the surface, but waved slightly to the men behind him, and immediately several men went into the house to search everywhere.
Another person held a roster and shouted loudly: "The roll call begins now, so the Xia family must be there immediately!"
When Xia Wenping saw this, his heart sank completely.
As long as you name him, Chen Xuan will be exposed.
Then the Xia family will add another layer of guilt for concealing the truth.
For a time, the entire Xia family was panicked and their limbs felt weak.
Cao Ji suddenly shouted angrily: "You Xia family are so brave!"
Xia Wenping was so frightened that he was about to kneel down, but was dragged up by a hand.
The person who stopped Xia Wenping from kneeling was none other than Chen Xuan.
Cao Ji, the director of the Judgment Department of the Wuying Ministry, immediately turned his stern eyes to Chen Xuan's face: "You are not from the Xia family. I guessed it right, right?"
"I was just a casual cultivator who was taken in by the Xia family. The head of the Xia family took me in after I got lost in the restricted area of Yishan and later walked out of the restricted area. At that time, he didn't know that a murder had occurred in Yishan."
Chen Xuan calmly excused the Xia family.
"Are you lost in the Yishan restricted area?"
When Cao Ji heard what Chen Xuan said, he immediately showed a ridiculous expression, "It's really amazing that a small sixth-level casual cultivator of the Yuan Shaping Realm can get out of the Yishan restricted area after getting lost."
At this time, several experts from the Wuying Department who had gone in to search all came out and shook their heads in front of Cao Ji, saying that they found nothing.
"Take this unidentified cultivator and the entire Xia family back for torture!"
Cao Ji gave an order, and several masters of the Creation Realm were about to take action.
Xia Wenping and the Xia family members behind him all turned pale with fear and their bodies felt cold.
A chill flashed through the depths of Chen Xuan's eyes, and murderous intent arose at this moment.
With one Creation Realm minor and four Creation Realm beginners, he was still sure to kill them all.
It just makes a lot of noise.
And how to protect the Xia family next is also a problem.
Anyone who dares to kill Wu Yingbu will be officially wanted by the Huangyun Principality.
In that case there is only a dead end.
But if he is taken back for questioning by the Ministry of Military Affairs, his identity will definitely be exposed.
At that time, we can only hope that the Wuying Department will not pursue him as an ascendant for killing more than a dozen martial arts geniuses.
However, Gu Chenxiao has confessed that Taichu's supreme immortal energy must not be exposed in front of any strong person or any force.
This is really a dilemma for Chen Xuan.
At the moment when Cao Ji's men were about to take action, a sound like earth shaking and mountains suddenly came from the east.
Cao Ji's expression changed slightly, he looked east, then lowered his head and looked at the ground.
The earthquake was felt from underground.
"Sir, it's over in the eastern suburbs!"
One of his subordinates spoke in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, the shaking under his feet became more intense, and the violent vibrations quickly spread in this direction.
"Fly into the sky quickly!"
Chen Xuan was the first to make a judgment, grabbed Xia He Xia Guo's arm and flew into the sky.
The other Xia family members didn't know why, but they subconsciously followed Chen Xuan and flew upwards.
Cao Ji still forced himself to stand calmly on the spot. His gaze on the ground kept changing, and he saw a mound rising from the ground, approaching sharply towards where he was standing.
"Sir, be careful!"
The four men stepped back together.
Cao Ji snorted coldly and stepped hard with his right foot, trying to crush the unknown monster on the raised ground to death.
The next moment, Cao Ji was shocked and felt a sharp pain in his right foot. His whole body was blown away and hit the wall. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"grown ups!"
All four men were shocked.
Cao Ji was a powerful person in the Creation Realm who had condensed two more laws of heaven and earth than they did, but he was unexpectedly injured by the collision of the unknown monster underground.
This shows that this monster is likely to have the greatest or even peak strength of the Creation Realm! That is not something that their Kunshi City branch can deal with.
Chen Xuan looked at the high bulging mounds on the ground, extending from the eastern suburbs to the center of Kunshi City, "ploughing" the Xia family house in half. He immediately remembered what Shen Yucheng said about the secrets under the eastern suburbs.
Shen Yucheng said that in recent years, some mysterious forces have been digging something underground in Kunshi City. They seem to be digging high-grade Taoist stones.
But can a high-grade Taoist stone still give birth to consciousness and cause such serious damage to the surface of Kunshi City?
Seeing the unknown monster sneaking into a position not far from the city lord's palace, and then diving deep into the ground, Cao Ji's eyes turned completely cold: "Follow me and have a look! Also call all the people in the branch!"
"Yes! Sir!"
After Cao Ji finished his instructions, he flew towards the city lord's palace and his eyes changed again.
He suddenly sensed multiple auras of creation coming from the eastern suburbs. It was obvious that they were the masters of mysterious forces that their Wuying branch had been keeping an eye on over the years.
"Hmph, these sneaky people have been dormant for many years, and now they are willing to be exposed in front of our Wuying Department for an unknown beast. I want to see how tempting this beast is!"
With this thought in his mind, Cao Ji accelerated his escape speed and reached the place where the unknown monster disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was a huge cave there, bottomless and so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Chen Xuan could also see the outline of the cave from a distance above the Xia family's house.
In the other direction, the head of the Kunshi City branch of the Wuying Department, the chiefs of various departments and hundreds of subordinates quickly gathered with Cao Ji. After a few words of conversation, they entered the cave one after another.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of escaping light came from the direction of the eastern suburbs as fast as lightning, and also burrowed into the hole.
Chen Xuan followed without saying a word.
Xia Wenping was slightly stunned, and then shouted: "Chen Xuan, it's dangerous, don't go there!"
"Maybe there's a great opportunity, and I'll go there and try my luck!"
Chen Xuan replied casually, and then jumped into the hole under the astonished eyes of the Xia family.
"Grandpa, we have to go there too!"
Xia He Xia Guo looked excited.
Xia Wenping quickly held the hands of his grandson and granddaughter: "You two are crazy! Chen Xuan is seeking death, are you going to seek death too?
I haven’t seen so many martial arts masters, and there are also many mysterious strong men!”
Like Xia Wenping, other Xia family members felt that Chen Xuan was crazy and would definitely die if this continued.
Out of the sight of the Xia family and Cao Ji, Chen Xuan can finally show off his talents.
After coming down from the cave, he discovered a huge tunnel deep underground.
The walls of the corridor did not contain any minerals or stones, but instead contained a cold and inexplicable fishy smell.
There seemed to be a lot of rotting corpses of humans and beasts inside.
Chen Xuan held his breath and walked into the corridor with all his vigilance.
The fire ahead was shining brightly, it must have been the lighting method used by Wu Yingbu and the mysterious master.
Before he had gone far, Chen Xuan heard violent shaking and fighting sounds from ahead, mixed with angry shouts and curses.
