Chapter 99: Treasure Map with Extraordinary Materials
The initial battle between the two masters in the middle stage of refining the gods seemed to be evenly matched.
Under the attack of numerous invisible flying needles, Yuan Chengshan could only defend.
But his swordsmanship was so impenetrable that Zhuang Bifan's flying needle could not break through for a while.
The flying needles bounced in all directions, forming a disorderly and chaotic attack.
However, after being blocked by Yuan Chengshan's sword skills, the power of the flying needle was far inferior to that of hitting it directly from Zhuang Bifan's hand.
Lin Xuan, Yuan Feihu, and Gu Changyuan all dodged easily.
Only Yuan Feishi, whose legs were broken, was immediately hit by many flying needles.
These flying needles contained a trace of Zhuang Bifan's true energy, which broke his protective aura and penetrated deeply into Yuan Feishi's body, seriously injuring Yuan Feishi.
As for the flying needles aimed at the scarred man on the torture rack, they were all blocked by Lin Xuan.
The Crazy Thunder Sword in his hand flew in all directions, and none of the powerful flying needles could break through the blockade of the sword's light.
Lin Xuan protected the scarred man and had no time to take care of Yuan Feihu and Gu Changyuan.
When the two saw this, they rushed out quickly.
Boo hoo hoo hoo——
The sharp sound of breaking through the air enveloped the two of them instantly.
The Shadowless Flying Needle that Zhuang Bifan attacked suddenly changed its target and hit Gu Changyuan and Yuan Feihu.
Yuan Feihu is only a half-step master, how can he stop Zhuang Bifan's shadowless flying needle.
By the time he heard the sound, it was already too late to resist.
Suddenly, a large number of flying needles penetrated the body, sealing his acupuncture points.
Yuan Feihu suddenly turned into an immovable statue.
As a master, Gu Changyuan has extremely keen senses.
However, he had already been stabbed by Lin Xuan, and then slapped by Yuan Chengshan, and his injuries were really serious.
Even though he could sense the trajectory of the shadowless flying needle attack, his body couldn't dodge it.
He waved his hand and used his palm force to block it, but it was not enough and he could only block two-thirds of it.
The other third pierced directly into his body.
Half of the body was sealed at once.
A cold shout sounded: "How dare you be distracted in a battle with me?"
Yuan Chengshan lost the blockade of the Shadowless Flying Needle. With a whoosh, his figure flashed forward and rushed in front of Zhuang Bifan in an instant.
In an instant, the man and the sword became one.
Only heavy sword lights were seen, and not a single figure was visible.
Heavy sword light enveloped Zhuang Bifan's vital points all over his body, making it impossible for Zhuang Bifan to avoid it.
At this moment, the true energy in Yuan Chengshan's body was shaken to the extreme, and his strength exploded 100%.
With just one sword strike, the winner will be determined by Zhuang Bifan.
At such a close distance, it was already too late for Zhuang Bifan to activate the Shadowless Flying Needle. The corners of Yuan Chengshan's mouth slightly curled up, as if he was sure of victory.
"Little tricks!"
Zhuang Bifan smiled coldly.
As a member of the emperor's bodyguard, isn't there anything outstanding about him?
His title in the world of martial arts is "Thousand-Handed Flying Immortal".
He is also proficient in the hidden weapon Shadowless Flying Needle.
Most people think that his unique skill is the Thousand-Hand Flying Immortal Acupuncture Technique!
Actually not!
Thousand-Hand Flying Immortal refers to his palm technique!
At the moment when the sword light shrouded him, Zhuang Bifan's hands flew up and suddenly turned into thousands of hand shadows.
These hand shadows did not trigger the Shadowless Flying Needle, but instead changed into various palm prints and slapped them out.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
In an instant, the heavy sword shadows struck by Yuan Chengshan were all shaken away by the force of his palm.
At the same time, there were also palm prints that struck Yuan Chengshan's body violently.
boom--
Yuan Chengshan felt like he had been struck by dozens of palms in an instant, and each palm was so powerful that it shook away his body-protecting essence.
puff--
Yuan Chengshan spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body exploded backwards, hitting the wall hard.
This secret room is already the innermost part of the secret passage. Behind the wall is a real mountain, which has also been knocked into a deep hollow.
At this time, Zhuang Bifan raised his hand, and another invisible flying needle burst out.
Yuan Chengshan's body was still dented in the wall before he could get out, when he was hit by a large number of shadowless flying needles, and his body was sealed so that he could not move.
Boo hoo hoo…
Zhuang Bifan waved his hand and shot a flying needle at Gu Changyuan.
Originally, only half of Gu Changyuan's body was sealed, but now... his whole body is sealed, and Fenhao can no longer move.
After sealing Gu Changyuan, Zhuang Bifan calmed down, touched his beard, and said with a faint smile:
"You think I only know acupuncture? Wrong! In fact, what I am best at is palm technique!"
Unfortunately, at this moment, except for Lin Xuan, there are no other divine guards.
Otherwise... it will definitely attract a round of applause.
Lin Xuan pointed at the scarred man on the torture rack and said: "Wake him up. He should know some secrets of the Changhe Gang, otherwise... they won't risk their lives to keep him."
Zhuang Bifan then looked at the scarred man on the torture rack and said, "So it's this guy."
Zhuang Bifan came to the torture rack, waved his hand, and several silver flying needles flew out, pricking the scarred man with several needles.
Several other people in the secret room all looked desperate.
What Lin Xuan said was not wrong at all. If this scarred man hadn't known the secrets of the Changhe Gang, how could they keep Lin Xuan at the risk of killing him?
Now that the scarred man falls into Lin Xuan's hands, the Changhe Gang is finished.
The scarred man woke up after being stimulated by the flying needle.
The scarred man glanced at Zhuang Bifan, then glanced at the other people in the secret room, his face showing joy.
"Thank you, senior."
The scarred man said, obviously recognizing Zhuang Bifan.
Zhuang Bifan took out a healing elixir and gave it to the scarred man.
Immediately, the scarred man's complexion improved a lot.
Zhuang Bifan stepped aside, and Lin Xuan walked up to the scarred man and said, "Tell me, why did you kill the people of the Changhe Gang? What secrets do you know about the Changhe Gang? They want to hide you here for interrogation?"
The man with the scar also recognized Lin Xuan and said, "I didn't know it was Inspector Lin that day, so don't be surprised."
Lin Xuan nodded.
The scarred man said: "Forty years ago, our Xiao family was also a well-known big family in Yangjiang County, but because of a family treasure map, we were wiped out by the Shanhe Sect. I was still young at the time and luckily escaped.
Later, I became successful in cultivation and became a half-step master. However, it was difficult for me to make further progress in cultivation, so I sought revenge from the Shanhe Sect, but it turned out that the Shanhe Sect was no longer around.
After asking around and investigating, I found out that the Shanhe Sect had been disbanded long ago, but most of its members had gone to Tianyue County, some had established martial arts families, and the main lineage of the Yuan family had established the Changhe Gang.
So, I came to Tianyue County to take revenge. Several heads of martial arts families and people from the Changhe Gang that I killed were all former disciples of the Shanhe Sect.
Originally, I wanted to kill all the people in the Shanhe Sect, but the old immortal Yuan Chengshan was invited back by the Changhe Gang before he died, causing me to fail."
The scarred man looked at Yuan Chengshan, Yuan Feihu, and Yuan Feishi with hatred on his face.
Lin Xuandao: "Then your name Xiao Zhuyuan is fake. What is your real name?"
The scarred man said: "Xiao Zhengyan."
Lin Xuandao: "What's going on with your family heirloom treasure map?"
Xiao Zhengyan said: "That is a very old picture. I don't know which generation of our Xiao family got it, and I don't know how many generations it has been passed down. In short, it has been passed down as a family heirloom.
Many people in our Xiao family ancestors have searched for treasures based on this treasure map, but no one has ever found the location marked on the treasure map."
Lin Xuanqi said: "Well, how can you be sure that this treasure map is authentic?"
Xiao Zhengyan said: "Because this picture will not be soaked in water or burned in fire, it is absolutely extraordinary."
Lin Xuandao: "Where's the picture?"
Xiao Zhengyan said: "It was taken away by Shanhe Sect back then. This time Xiao Chengshan caught me. Instead of killing me directly, he kept asking me where the position on the treasure map was. In fact, I didn't know. He didn't believe it, so he went to me.
Tortured to death.”
Lin Xuan looked at Yuan Chengshan and said, "So, the treasure map is on Yuan Chengshan?"
Xiao Zhengyan said: "It should be."
Lin Xuan glanced at Zhuang Bifan.
Zhuang Bifan immediately walked towards Yuan Chengshan and searched his body.
Sure enough, I found an ancient map.
Zhuang Bifan handed the picture to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan opened it and took a look.
In the center of the map, there is an eye-catching symbol with a dragon and an elephant painted next to it.
On the right side of the map, there is a mountain peak. There are five hills in total. The middle is the tallest and the left and right are slightly shorter. It looks like four people carrying a sedan chair.
On the left side of the map, there is a lake. The lake is a semicircle of the moon, with the arc edge facing the dragon symbol in the middle.
On the top of the map, there are strips of mountains extending down, like a long dragon lying on the ground. The position of the dragon's head extends exactly to the eye-catching mark in the middle of the map.
At the bottom of the map, there is a river, which forms a total of nine curves and eighteen bays. The highest bay head reaches almost to the center of the map, and is also facing the eye-catching sign in the middle of the map.
Anyone who looks at this map can tell that there must be something hidden at the dragon-elephant symbol in the center of the map.
If this picture is still invulnerable to water and fire, and the material is extraordinary, then... the thing hidden is definitely not ordinary.
"Inspector Lin, now that this map is in your hands, it is yours. If I knew the specific location of the treasure map, I would definitely tell you, but I really don't know."
Xiao Zhengyan looked at the treasure map in Lin Xuan's hand and said: "Many people were involved in the Shanhe Sect's destruction of my Xiao family. Inspector Lin will definitely be able to interrogate them by following the clues through Yuan Chengshan, Yuan Feihu, Yuan Feishi and others.
If we can catch them all, Xiao will be grateful and will pray for Inspector Lin after his death."
Lin Xuan put away the treasure map and said: "Shanhe Sect destroyed your Xiao family, why did you only kill the other family head in revenge?"
Xiao Zhengyan said: "Grudges have their heads, and debts have their owners. I don't want to turn into a murderous maniac and drag innocent people in to be buried with me."
Lin Xuan glanced at Zhuang Bifan and said, "Can he still be saved?"
Zhuang Bifan said: "If you give up some capital, you can still save it."
Lin Xuandao: "He is a man. Saving him is my reward for getting the Xiao family's treasure map."
Zhuang Bifan said: "No problem."
Xiao Zhengyan looked at Lin Xuan in surprise and said, "A murder was committed on me. Shouldn't Inspector Lin arrest me and bring me to justice?"
Lin Xuandao: "To avenge your family members, you should be treated lightly. You did not kill innocent people indiscriminately and are not guilty. If you are willing, you can join the Shenwu Guard in the future to fight against evil people and prevent others from suffering the same fate as your Xiao family."
Xiao Zhengxi said: "Yes, I am willing!"
Then he looked at Lin Xuan sheepishly: "I scolded Inspector Lin back then, but now that I think about it, I want to slap myself in the face."
Lin Xuan waved his hands and smiled calmly.
Zhuang Bifan put Xiao Zhengyan down from the torture rack, first gave him some medicine he had brought with him and administered a few injections.
The battle between Lin Xuan and Gu Changyuan was witnessed by many people in the city.
Later, when we entered the Changhe Gang's mansion, there was gradually no movement.
After Zhao Kunyuan captured the personnel of the Gu Mansion, he asked a group of people to escort them back to the Inspection Mansion, while he took another group and rushed to the Changhe Gang.
Lin Xuan cut off the hand tendons and hamstrings of Yuan Chengshan, Gu Changyuan and others, and disabled their martial arts. It happened that Zhao Kunyuan brought people over and found the secret room.
Lin Xuandao: "You came just in time to escort them all back to the inspector's office."
Then two divine guards were assigned: "You carry Xiao Zhengyan, he is the future divine guard, treat him well."
The gods and warriors glanced at the miserable Xiao Zhenghuo and nodded in unison.
Lin Xuan said to Zhao Kunxuan: "You lead people to blockade the Changhe Gang. Just blockade them. Don't move yet. If anyone escapes, take them down directly."
Zhao Kunyuan took the order and left.
soon……
The gods and armed guards escorted Yuan Chengshan, Gu Changyuan, Yuan Feihu, Yuan Feishi and others out of the Changhe Gang.
Outside the Changhe Gang, a large number of city residents gathered, and they were all shocked.
"What's going on? Inspector Lin is chasing Gu Changyuan, isn't he? Why did he also arrest Yuan Feihu, the leader of the Changhe Gang?"
"And Yuan Feishi, deputy leader of the Changhe Gang!"
"Who is that old man with the white beard? I've never seen him before. Why are he with Gu Changyuan, Yuan Feihu and others?"
"Hiss - I know who the old man with the white beard is. He is Yuan Chengshan, the former leader of the Shanhe Sect. This guy has not been heard from for decades, and he is still alive?"
"Master of the Shanhe Sect? Old man, does that mean he is also a great master?"
"Not only is he a grandmaster, but he is also a master in the middle stage of refining the gods, thirty years ago!"
"Oh my god, who was a master in the middle stage of refining the gods thirty years ago? How high is his cultivation level now?"
"Thirty years ago, he was already in his forties. His potential has been exhausted and it is basically impossible to improve. He should still be in the middle stage of god refining."
"No wonder, Inspector Lin also has a master who is in the middle stage of refining the gods. Tsk tsk... Inspector Lin has only been in Tianyue City for a long time, and he even arrested two masters. It really opened my eyes."
…
The people in Tianyue City were in shock.
If you want to talk, the masters are among the people.
Even Yuan Chengkong, the former master of the Shanhe Sect, was recognized.
As the news spread, it was naturally even more shocking.
Lin Xuan's reputation has reached a higher level.
Inspector's dungeon.
Under Zhuang Bifan's torture, the massacre of the Xiao family in Yangjiang County by the Shanhe Sect was thoroughly investigated.
Many of the Shanhe Sect warriors who participated in this murderous crime have passed away. Those who are still alive are basically disciples, but they are now in their fifties.
These people are all innate warriors in the True Qi Realm. Except for some who have left the sect, wandered around the world, or established martial arts families, most of them are still attached to the Changhe Gang established by the Yuan family, the main family of the Shanhe Sect.
All of them are big shots in high positions.
As a result, a large-scale arrest operation was launched under Lin Xuan's personal command.
The senior leaders of the Changhe Gang were almost wiped out.
This arrest operation came suddenly. A lot of smuggled contraband was discovered at the dock in Changhe, and many other cases were investigated.
The final result was that the senior leaders of the Changhe Gang were beheaded in public, and the powerful Changhe Gang collapsed.
Those who were beheaded together with the senior officials of the Changhe Gang were Gu Changyuan, Wu Man Gong, and some Shadow Sect warriors from the Gu Mansion.
As soon as the announcement came out, the people in Tianyue City were shocked.
Shadow Gate!
This is a super huge force.
Generally speaking, for a big force, it is very important to have only one master.
As for the Shadow Sect, the masters may all be outsiders.
When such forces are involved, ordinary people naturally tremble in their hearts.
Even though Lin Xuan was his direct disciple and had a grandmaster by his side to protect him, the people of Tianyue City were a little worried about Lin Xuan's safety.
they do not know……
When the Shenwu Guards of Tianyue County smashed the Shadow Sect branch of Tianyue City.
In Xingzhou City, the Shenwu Guards of the Xingzhou Command Post also launched a raid and broke into the Xingzhou Shadow Sect branch that was pried out of Wu Man Gong's mouth.
Wang Huchen personally led the team, which is truly a big deal.
The Xingzhou Shadow Sect branch has many master-level killers.
However, Wang Huchen came well-prepared, and the Shenwu Guards he brought also had many powerful masters. They were superior in numbers and killed the Shadow Sect by surprise, almost wiping out the entire Xingzhou Shadow Sect branch.
…
The next day, a powerful condor landed on the Tianyue County Inspectorate.
Wang Ji jumped down from the eagle's back, asked Lin Xuan's location, and quickly walked away from Lin Xuan.
In the inner palace, Lin Xuan looked at the dusty Wang Ji and said, "Why have you been away for so long? You didn't come back until after the night."
Wang Jidao: "Commander Wang was very angry when he found out that you had been assassinated. He asked people to join the raid on the Xingzhou Shadow Sect branch and arrested the person in charge of the Xingzhou branch.
Then Lord Wang tried him overnight, and it took him all night to pry open the other party's mouth, and finally found out the real murderer behind it, and then he asked me to come back and tell him."
Lin Xuandao: "Is it the Luo family?"
Wang Ji's eyes lit up: "Sir, how do you know?"
Lin Xuandao: "I have guessed it a long time ago. I have never been in contact with the Shadow Sect before, so they can't kill me for no reason.
The person who wants to kill me must be someone who has a big grudge against me. There is no one left in the Chong family. I killed Luo Zhenghai’s son, but Luo Zhenghai is still there.”
Wang Jidao: "It's Luo Zhenghai, the Shadow Sect killer."
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed and he said: "I left a hidden line with Luo, but in the end there was no news at all. Is it because he didn't know or something went wrong?"
Wang Ji shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but... Commander Wang sent me to inform you to go to the command post in person. The Luo family has been controlled by the Shenwu Guards. Luo Zhenghai has been captured into the command post. Commander Wang
The envoy said that the adults should resolve it themselves."
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Then I will go to the Xingzhou Command Post and the Inspection Mansion. You can watch carefully."
Wang Ji stood like a benchmark and said, "Yes, I will never let you down."
Lin Xuan now also has master-level strength. He can't encounter enemies while riding the powerful condor in the air. This time, he doesn't let Zhuang Bifan go with him.
A big incident occurred in Tianyue County, and even the Grand Master was killed. Lin Xuan asked Zhuang Bifan to take charge in Tianyue County, and he took the powerful condor directly to the Xingzhou command post.
