Chapter 426 Originating from the Holy City, Enlightenment of Life and Death
The blazing blue flames are like dozens or hundreds of netherworld butterflies, flying towards the sky from Liu Sande's incomplete half of the soul.
In the last moments of life.
Liu Sande's eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness, as if a minister had received a death edict from the emperor.
Unable to change, but forced to adapt.
While others wanted to die, Tie Tang could not change anything. He could only watch Liu Sande's soul disappear.
"He must have recognized something, so much so that he deliberately begged for death, and would rather die than reveal any clues to me...
It seems that over the past tens of thousands of years, her power has not shrunk, but has continued to this day.
But how did her men recognize me?
Or maybe someone has been secretly watching Liu Sande."
Tie Tang was confident enough in his ability to hide his aura and change his disguise, and he even dared to compete with him in front of the Wu family immortals.
Wu Jianxian did not see through his change.
"The Kunpeng method I demonstrated before was derived from Feng Bingyao's totem method. Almost no one in the world knew it, and it is impossible for anyone to know that it was my Tie Tang method.
As for my magical power... I created it myself. It has never appeared in the world, and no one can see through it.
Apart from Feng Bingyao and Immortal Killing Sword, no third person in Jiangdu City will recognize my identity.
Liu Sande was suddenly killed.
Either others had planned it, and I just happened to be there.
Or maybe someone has been keeping an eye on me secretly and just recognized the scene in my hand, so he became murderous and killed and silenced me."
The truth is not difficult to figure out. This time someone took action secretly, seemingly forcing Liu Sande to commit suicide, leaving Tie Tang with nothing.
Actually.
There are traces wherever you take action.
On the contrary, Tie Tang used this to obtain and deduce some new clues.
"Liu Sande is just a shaman, how can he keep a shaman who is at least in the Dzogchen realm to keep an eye on him at all times?
And the phaseless sword energy... there shouldn't be many knowledgeable people in Jiangdu City, right?
Er Mazi, Liu Sande... Liu Sande will not be the only middleman in the city, there must be others."
With a move of his hand, blue waves appeared in the void, turning into a water dragon and rushing towards Er Mazi lying on the ground.
Wow!
Cold water was poured down on his head and face. Er Mazi woke up in a daze and glanced around aimlessly.
When he saw that only Tie Tang was standing in the field, and Liu Sande was nowhere to be seen, Er Mazi shuddered and panicked.
"Liu...Master Liu?"
Tie Tang said coldly: "He is dead!"
"Dead?" Er Mazi couldn't believe it. He was still alive just a moment ago, and now he's dead in the blink of an eye?
The smell of blood lingering in the air, as well as the remaining robes that were twisted into pieces on the ground, made Er Mazi realize a fact.
He pointed at Tie Tang in horror and said tremblingly: "You...how dare you?"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't kill him, he was silenced. I believe if I leave now, you will be the next to die."
Er Mazi didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he looked into Tie Tang's firm eyes for a while, and his whole body softened instantly.
"I don't want to die, save me!"
Tie Tang opened his five fingers and pressed Er Mazi's face, changing his appearance: "I can send you away from Jiangdu City to save your life, but you must answer a few questions of mine sincerely and stop playing tricks." Bang! Bang! Bang!
Er Mazi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Sir, just ask, I know everything I know. If you tell a lie, you will be struck by five thunders and die."
"There is a man named Zhuanzi in Linjiang City, Linjiang County. Do you know him?"
"This... villain has never heard of it." Er Mazi shook his head blankly.
"Did Liu Sande take over a big business more than a month ago?"
"Yes, it's the same thing with this guy. I heard Mr. Liu said that he made a lot of money."
"Please tell me the details carefully."
"I don't know much. I just heard him bragging a few words when I was drinking with Mr. Liu, saying that someone in Chaoge, the holy capital, had given him a deal. The reward was astonishing. It was the biggest deal he had ever seen in his life.
.
This deal is very difficult, and the target also has a high profile. Jiangdu City couldn't find a suitable killer, and Mr. Liu went elsewhere to find someone else."
"Where has he gone?"
"This villain really doesn't know. He never said anything."
Tie Tang nodded. The information Er Mazi gave could be connected with the clues he had obtained before.
Since even Liu Sande said it was the biggest deal he had ever seen in his life, it was most likely a deal to assassinate him.
Liu Sande couldn't take it on his own and couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he went elsewhere and found Boil, who in turn found Brother Dan, allowing the Immortal Killing Sword to take action.
But the source... comes from the Holy City of Chaoge.
This is also in line with Tie Tang’s previous conjecture.
After all, the Holy Capital Chaoge is undoubtedly the most powerful force that can spend 150,000 years of life to hire murderers.
But now after hearing what Er Mazi said, he was a little confused.
"Is he really someone from the Holy Capital Chaoge..."
Assassinating an important official of the imperial court, such as the governor of a county, especially Tie Tang and the supervisor, with two identities, it can be said to be extremely sensitive.
Doing this kind of thing will definitely leave traces and it will be difficult to escape the court's investigation.
Under normal circumstances.
No matter how careful the employer is, there will eventually be flaws.
But the development trajectory of the matter, if it passes through the Holy Capital Chaoge, will greatly increase the difficulty of the government's investigation.
There are many overlords in Chaoge, and no one or any force dares to thoroughly investigate Chaoge. This is absolutely impossible.
"If I want to kill a being like me, even if I am not in the Holy City, the incident will pass through the Holy City.
Only in this way can most traces be washed away to the greatest extent.
Although Liu Sande obtained the business from someone from the Holy City, it does not mean that the employer must be from the Holy City."
Tie Tang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Do you know the person from the Holy City who contacted Liu Sande?"
"The villain has low strength and few connections. How can he know such a powerful dragon as he has crossed the river." Er Mazi shook his head repeatedly.
His answer was as expected, and Tie Tang was a little disappointed.
Tie Tang then asked a few more questions, but due to his strength and influence, Er Mazi knew too little and had almost no useful clues.
"After you leave this place, you'd better go far away and never come back. My magical power can last for seven days, which is enough for you to leave Jiangdu City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Er Mazi felt that his eyes were blurred, and he appeared in the bustling street, with Tie Tang nowhere to be seen.
But Tie Tang himself, in hiding, quietly came to Du Yamen and sneaked in secretly.
This move is extremely shocking, one of the reasons is that Tie Tang wants to verify his own methods.
There is no formation in the capital government office, because there are a number of immortals and gods such as the palace master sitting in charge, especially Feng Yi, who is extremely cultivated and powerful, and is a real immortal overlord.
Even if ordinary people pass by the county government office, they have to hide for a few steps. How can they dare to sneak in secretly?
Relying on his invincible skills, Tie Tang easily passed through the outer yamen and reached the depths of the yamen.
This time.
He did not escape.
An invisible force turned into a transparent rope, binding him tightly and appearing in Sanshengtang.
Feng Yi looked at the county guard under him angrily, thinking of teasing him.
"How can you trespass into the important place of the Yamen? I'm going to beat you thirty times, will you be convinced?"
Tie Tang's hands were tied, but he still sighed secretly.
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from people like this. Is it because my magical power is not superb enough...or is my cultivation strength insufficient? I have to find time to improve it."
Feng Yi muttered when he saw him and didn't respond to him. He raised his eyebrows and pointed his finger without saying anything.
Buzz!
A golden-armored god general holding a water-fire stick appeared in the void. He was three feet tall, with angry eyes and a majestic expression.
"Call me!"
Feng Yi gave the order, and the golden-armored god general followed the order. He immediately picked up the black and red water and fire stick in his hand and hit Tie Tang with a bang.
The force of these sticks was astonishing. The beatings made Tie Tang sweat dripping with cold sweat, and he felt some pain after a long time.
He secretly said that he was powerful. No matter what kind of body he had or what method he had, he would still be crushed in the face of absolute strength.
"Sir, I'm convinced!"
Feng Yi smiled and waved gently, as if he was greatly satisfied.
"If I had said no, it would have been over, and I would have received this beating for nothing."
Tie Tang was neither humble nor humble, so he cupped his hands and said, "I have something to ask of you, and I guess I'm not willing to do it either. I'm going to be beaten on both sides, so why don't I get a couple of blows first."
Feng Yi's face turned cold when he heard this, knowing that this troublemaker was probably up to no good, so he yawned twice to pretend to be sleepy.
"I'm tired today. If I have something to discuss, we'll discuss it another day."
He was about to get up and leave.
But Feng Bingyao walked out of the back hall, looked at Tie Tang and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Hmph, it seems that the beating just now wasn't enough!" Feng Yi flicked his hem and sat back down again.
Tie Tang said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Sir, there is no need to make it difficult. I just want to ask...
How many Dzogchen shamans and gods are there in Jiangdu City?
How many of these people know the sword technique of "Shadowless Sword"?"
"As the governor of Qingshui County, you ignore the government affairs under your jurisdiction and just idle around all day long. How can you behave like this?
Now they have put their hands into my Jiangdu city, which is simply lawless. Why do you ask?"
"I don't know, sir, but today someone killed someone in front of a subordinate. I just asked casually."
Originally, Feng Yi was just talking casually, but he didn't expect Tie Tang to actually have something serious.
In fact, the matter of killing is not his responsibility, and as long as not too many people die, it is not his turn to worry about it.
However, Tie Tang used this kind of thing as a cover. As the head of Jiangdu Palace, he couldn't turn a blind eye.
"Since you are destined to supervise the capital, why do you come to my yamen?"
Tie Tang didn't hide it either: "Xia Guan originally wanted to hide, but Miss Feng found out his identity.
Now that she knows it, she must not be able to hide it from the adults.
Since it has been exposed, I have come here to ask for help. As for the supervisory capital... I hope you will keep quiet."
Feng Yi laughed when he heard this: "The magistrate of a county is a high-ranking official after all. You have done this for the first time in Feng's life. Today is an eye-opener."
"Dad, you obviously have serious business, why are you so weird here?" Before Tie Tang could speak, Feng Bingyao said something for him first.
Being blocked by the apple of his eye, Feng Yi was so angry that his beard trembled, and the more he looked at Tie Tang, the more unpleasant he became.
"You asked the witch god what he was doing. Did he want to block a door?"
"If someone wants to kill me, I naturally have to take precautions early." Tie Tang revealed his true intention.
Feng Yi then straightened up and looked solemn: "Is this true?"
"They have already taken action once."
"There are more wizard gods in Jiangdu City than you think. There are more wizard gods in Dzogchen. Even I don't know how many of them are hidden by the major families.
This kind of person is only one step away from reaching the fairyland. If it is not necessary, he will not walk in the world at all.
If you want to find this kind of person...it's hard to find him!"
Tie Tang raised a finger: "Add a condition, have some research on "Wuxian Sword", maybe even a famous secret.
Of course, it is not necessarily limited to the Dzogchen shaman god, it may also be the immortal god."
Feng Yi pondered for a moment: "If there are more candidates for immortal gods...then there will be more. However, the sword technique "Shadowless Sword" is very rare. I have seen it only a handful of times.
Bit.
It’s impossible for those people to kill you!
As for other Dzogchen shamans and gods...at least in Jiangdu City, among the people I know, I have never seen anyone who knows this swordsmanship.
There is only one person.
I know it, and so do you.
And he might also take action against you."
When Feng Yi said this, Tie Tang immediately blurted out: "Sir, are you talking about Wu Jianxian?"
"Not bad!"
"He is known as the Sword Immortal. His swordsmanship is extraordinary and he has some attainments in 70% to 80% of the swordsmanship in the world.
Although the Wuxiang Sword is rare, it cannot escape his vision and knowledge.
If you are in Jiangdu City, he is most likely to take action against you."
The reason.
Needless to say, the three people present knew it.
After all, not long ago, Tie Tang severely slapped Wu Fu in the face.
However, after hearing this, Tie Tang slowly shook his head, noncommittal.
"It's unlikely to be him!"
"Why?"
"It's my fault that the official didn't make it clear. They hired murderers to kill me before. This time they didn't come for me. They just killed and silenced me in front of me.
If Wu Jianxian's true form takes action... he will probably choose to kill me directly!"
"Then I don't know."
Feng Yi spread his hands and said slowly: "Although I am the master of Jiangdu Palace, there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and everyone in Jiangdu City.
Even if you don’t count the masters from local families, there are still many foreigners who have crossed the river.
If these people secretly attack you in front of you, it will be almost difficult to trace them."
"Ninety percent of them are locals, not outsiders." Tie Tang is quite confident.
Because only locals will have enough time to keep an eye on Liu Sande.
"For locals, I have thought of everything I can think of. Other Dzogchen shamans and gods, and even those immortal gods exist. No one knows what methods they have until the moment of life and death."
It is obviously not an easy task to find the person who did it based on the clue of Wuxiang Sword Qi. Tie Tang had already expected this.
Since the other party dares to take action, he is certain that he will not be found.
Although there is little hope, Tie Tang can only continue to pursue this clue.
He bowed and prepared to leave.
Feng Bingyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "If you think you must be a local from Jiangdu, you can go to Wudaoyuan and have a look.
There is the most prosperous place for witchcraft in Jiangdu City, where masters compete with each other from time to time, and a large number of gambling battles have also spawned.
Sometimes some rewards are so rich that even immortal gods can't help but transform themselves and go there. Occasionally, the Dzogchen Witch God will go to fight, hoping to find a way to open the door of the immortal gods in life and death."
"If you let him go there, aren't you making me uncomfortable?" Feng Yi seemed to have seen a bad future.
Feng Bingyao was startled. She just subconsciously wanted to help Tie Tang, but when she realized it, she felt something was wrong.
"That's true. If you go there and make some messy noises, forget it, I'll go with you."
Feng Yi's eyes darkened and he couldn't bear to look anymore.
Tie Tang was also speechless, as the father and daughter sang along, making him look like something.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss Xie Feng, tell me, I can go alone. As for my lord, don't worry. I am a law-abiding official, so how can I add trouble to my lord for nothing? Just rest assured." "Ha~ You'd better remember what you said."
Feng Bingyao ignored it and walked directly to Tie Tang.
"To prevent you from causing trouble, I will go too."
Tie Tang tried to persuade her again and again, but in the end, her arms couldn't twist her thighs and she had no choice but to obey.
"You can go, but you need to change a bit first. Don't let anyone see your identity and expose me."
"Okay, you can take action."
Tie Tang shook his head hurriedly: "With the master of the palace here, how can I dare to show my shame?"
Hugh! Hugh!
Two rays of golden light outline a talisman in the void, and are printed on the eyebrows of the two people.
"This is the Hidden Moon Talisman. No one below the leader can spy on it. Leave Jiangdu immediately after you finish your work. You are not allowed to come back within a year!"
Tie Tang looked happy: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your help!"
After the two left, Feng Yi lay weakly on the seat and sighed.
"I have to think of a way to transfer this guy away from Jiangdu Mansion, otherwise if this continues...sooner or later I will be dragged into the water by him."
Wudaoyuan is located in the west city of Jiangdu. There are divine lights and blood rising into the sky from time to time.
Two figures walked on the street, one behind the other, like ordinary people.
I don’t know if it was Feng Yi’s bad taste, but after applying the Hidden Moon Talisman, Tie Tang turned into a tall, middle-aged man with a centipede-like scar on his face, making him hideous and ugly.
Feng Bingyao turned into a girl with average appearance, graceful and noble, and extraordinary temperament.
"Your father is too partial. Doesn't it make it clear that he wants me to be your guard?"
"What? As an inspector, shouldn't you protect me, a common man with a flat head?"
"Okay, okay, you have the final say, where should we go?"
"Although there are many legal venues for fighting in Wudaoyuan, if you really want to see the masters competing...you have to go to the underground gambling place.
My father doesn’t let me come to this place more often. In fact, I haven’t been there a few times, so I just happened to come over and have a look.”
"You have already planned it, are you using me as a shield?"
"Just tell me whether I brought you or not."
"Okay, okay, you have the final say, but as an important place in the government, how can Jiangdu City allow a place like underground gambling to exist?"
"There are many factors, and I can't explain them clearly at the moment, except for the intervention of various top aristocratic families.
I heard that the largest landowner...
It’s the Clinic Department!
This is tantamount to the imperial court acquiescing to it, so it can naturally exist."
"Clinic Clinic..."
Tie Tang murmured to himself, feeling an extremely strange feeling in his heart.
This department with the smallest number of people in the Great Shang Dynasty was actually the most bizarre and mysterious organization, possessing many legal and illegal, reasonable and unreasonable powers.
"Here we are, right here!"
Feng Bingyao's voice interrupted Tie Tang's thinking. He looked up and saw a towering tower standing in front of him.
On the top of the broadest first floor, three sharp and fierce fonts are engraved.
