The Cang family's bodyguards consist of a team of nine people, including eight Qi Condensation stage members and a Foundation Establishment stage captain.
The Cang family's outer palace follows the route of elite soldiers. Although there are not many in number, every Cang family guard is an elite. The most common guards are all late-stage Qi Condensation monks or powerful early-stage Foundation-building monks.
In addition to these two teams of Cang family guards, Su Ping'an also has a follower, Cang Shengtian, who ranks first on the foundation building list.
However, Cang Shengtian is the deacon of the Cang family's waifu after all, so naturally he cannot always be by Su Pingan's side, so he made an appointment with Su Pingan to be there whenever Su Pingan needs him.
Like a summoned beast.
Su Ping'an did not live in the mansion arranged by Cang Xuanliang, but brought two teams of Cang family guards to Huashan Pavilion. These Cang family guards were very familiar with Yizhou City and naturally knew where Huashan Pavilion was.
When Ye Junxin saw Su Ping'an appearing, she hurriedly came forward and said respectfully: "Master, you are here!"
Su Ping'an glanced at the Huashan Sword Sect disciples present and chuckled: "Why are you all so gloomy? What happened?"
"Master, something has indeed happened." Ye Junxin said, and then told Su Ping'an about the disappearance of the Huashan Sword Sect disciples who were left behind in the Huashan Pavilion.
Then he went on to talk about his visits to the strongholds of three forces to spy on information, and the rhetoric and reactions of the three forces.
"Master, I guess it must be Zhou Baihua who colluded with the Copper Coin Society to kill the remaining disciples of my Huashan Sword Sect!" Ye Junxin said.
Su Pingan shook his head and chuckled: "Apprentice, sometimes your guesses may not be true."
"Master, do you mean that there is another murderer?" Ye Junxin asked with surprise on his face after hearing this.
"I don't know which force the murderer is, but the truth is easy to find out." Su Ping'an chuckled and said: "Based on what you said, I found that although the murderer is cunning, he still left a big hole behind."
Give us the loophole."
"A big flaw?" Ye Jun asked puzzledly. He didn't find any big flaw, but based on the reactions and rhetoric of the three forces, he found that the copper coin meeting was the most suspicious.
"There is an obvious conflict between the Jiuhua Sect and the Copper Coin Society's statements. One said that he saw Zhou Bai move into the Copper Coin Society's stronghold, while the other firmly denied that Zhou Bai had entered the Copper Coin Society's stronghold." Su Ping'an chuckled: "These two
Among all the forces, one of them is obviously lying, and this is the huge flaw left by the murderer who really caused this killing."
"Even if the force that lies is not the real murderer, it must be related to the real murderer."
"What Master said is absolutely true, but how can we tell which of them has lied?" Ye Junxin asked.
He also knew that one of the Jiuhua Sect and Copper Coin Society must be lying, but without other personal or material evidence, he could not tell who the liar was at all.
Su Ping'an smiled and said: "Why waste time trying to distinguish? As long as all the people from one of the forces are arrested and tortured, are you afraid that they won't tell the truth?"
There are only eleven months until the Sky Demon Realm appears in the land of chaos. Su Ping'an has to get the Sky Demon Order before then. Although he cannot ignore his apprentice's affairs, he does not have that much time to find out the real truth.
Who is the murderer? All we can do is cut the knot quickly.
"The Copper Coin Society has a grudge against our Huashan Sword Sect, and since it is the most suspicious, let's start with the Copper Coin Society. If the murderer is not the Copper Coin Society, then it should be the Jiuhua Sect."
"But if we arrest or even kill people from the Copper Coin Society, but find out that the real murderers are not them, wouldn't it mean that we...killed the wrong person?" Ye Junxin asked.
"The Copper Coin Society has always had a grudge against our Huashan Sword Sect. Even if we kill the wrong ones this time, they still won't be dead wronged." Su Pingan said calmly.
Ye Junxin nodded, feeling that what the master said was very reasonable.
"By the way, apart from the seven Huashan Sword Sect disciples left behind, are there any other servants in the Huashan Pavilion?" Su Pingan asked.
Ye Junxin shook his head and replied: "Back to master, when our sect was facing a great disaster, when I left Yizhou City, I dismissed all the servants in Huashan Pavilion."
Su Ping'an nodded and called Fufeng, a Cang family guard captain who was following him.
The two captains of the Cang family's security team who followed Su Pingan were named Shen Chaodi and Fufeng.
Coincidentally, Shen Chaodi and Fufeng are both sword cultivators. I wonder if Cang Xuanliang deliberately arranged it for them to learn some swordsmanship from Su Pingan.
Fufeng is a heroic woman in her mid-twenties, with a third-level cultivation base and a capable style.
In a land of chaos, a place with a thin concentration of spiritual energy, Fufeng could be regarded as a genius by being able to cultivate to the third level of foundation building at around the age of twenty-five.
Shen Chaodi is much older than Fufeng, already in his early thirties.
"Master Deacon, what are your orders?" Fufeng came to Su Pingan and asked with a respectful salute.
"Take someone to investigate the Copper Coin Society stronghold. How many Copper Coin Society disciples are there and what their specific strength is. All of them must be investigated clearly." Su Ping'an ordered.
Fufeng took the order and left. In less than a stick of incense, he had fully investigated the situation of the Copper Coin Society's stronghold.
The Copper Coin Society currently has a total of forty-two disciples in Yizhou City, including two monks in the foundation-building stage and forty disciples in the Qi-condensing stage.
All Copper Coin Society disciples live in the Copper Coin Society stronghold.
"Get ready and do it tonight," Su Ping'an said.
In the evening, all the Copper Coin Society disciples in Yizhou City will return to their stronghold, and Su Ping'an plans to kill all 42 of them!
At night, Xu time.
Su Ping'an led two groups of Cang family guards as well as Ye Junxin and other Huashan Sword Sect disciples to the outside of the Copper Coin Society's stronghold.
"Shen Chaodi, take your team and guard the surroundings of the Copper Coin Society's stronghold. Don't let any Copper Coin Society disciple escape." Su Pingan ordered.
"Yes! Lord Butler!"
Shen Chaodi took the order and left. The nine people in the team were scattered around the Tongqianhui stronghold, staring closely at the front and back doors and the four surrounding walls of the stronghold.
Su Ping'an stood outside the main entrance of the Tongqian Club stronghold and waved his hand to create a blast of energy. He only heard a roar and the blast of energy shattered the front door.
"Who is it!"
"Who dares to come to my Copper Coin Society stronghold to cause trouble!"
The gate of his stronghold was blown to pieces, and in an instant, several disciples of the Copper Coin Society who were responsible for guarding the gate rushed out. They were stunned when they saw that the people standing outside were Huashan Sword Sect disciples and Cang family guards.
"Capture them!" Su Ping'an said as he walked into the Copper Coin Society's stronghold.
Two Cang family guards rushed past him and captured the copper coin sect disciple who was guarding the door in three strikes.
After entering the Copper Coin Society's stronghold, what comes into view is a wide square and a lobby facing the square.
Su Ping'an stood on the square and waited for a while, then he saw two foundation-building monks from the Bronze Coin Society hurrying out from behind the lobby with several disciples.
