Chapter 210 Murder! Murder!
Fu Lousheng stood there and sighed to himself for a while, then said to Ding Yi:
“I don’t care what your connection is with Zhou Ruoxu. You said you’re not a member of the Chaotic God Cult. Perfect, someone has discovered that there are Chaotic God Cult activities outside the city. Find them and bring their heads to me.”
After Fu Lousheng finished speaking, Ding Yi stood there with no change in expression, but he was somewhat surprised.
Why mention Zhou Ruoxu's sentence separately?
A conspiracy? Or simply a disdain for hiding?
Several thoughts flashed through Ding Yi's mind, but he still clasped his hands in a fist and said with a blank expression, "Don't worry, sir!" before turning around and leaving the main hall.
On the way, Ding Yi, sitting in the carriage, was recalling what Fu Lousheng had just said.
Although Fu Lousheng may have deliberately mentioned Zhou Ruoxu's name to create a rift between him and Zhou Ruoxu, thereby strengthening his control over the Wanxiang Sect.
After all, if either of them wanted to completely suppress the other, they would inevitably have to seek help from him, the director of the inspection department.
It must be said that although Fu Lousheng is not very bright, every word and action of his contains the principles of military strategy, which is worthy of his background in the Grand Palace.
But Ding Yi didn't care.
He has his own way of finding out the truth.
Before long, Ding Yi returned to the Wanxiang Sect's headquarters.
His expression remained unchanged as he strode along the bluestone path within the outpost, heading towards his small courtyard.
In a dark corner not far away, a figure flashed by.
Inside a small courtyard.
Zhou Ruoxu was writing on the stone table in the courtyard when a figure rushed in.
"Sect Master, he's back."
A figure stood beside Zhou Ruoxu and whispered something.
"Huh? What kind of expression is that?"
Zhou Ruoxu stopped writing with his brush and asked.
"He doesn't look angry; he seems a little excited."
The man was also somewhat puzzled.
"How could that be? Didn't Fu Lousheng make things difficult for him?"
Zhou Ruoxu found it hard to believe; this ending was unlike the style of the Yin Yang Palace.
In the past, as long as there was any clue, the military man arrested and brought to the Censorate would either mysteriously disappear or have his head displayed on a wooden stake in the bustling city. Never before had someone been able to return like today.
Is it because he is the Elephant Master of the Myriad Manifestations Sect?
Zhou Ruoxu felt a pang of regret. Why had he listened to that idiot and brought Li Baozheng in as an elder?
"Keep staring."
Zhou Ruoxu thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Yes!"
The man said something and then hurriedly left the courtyard.
On the other side, Ding Yi was stroking the iron ball in his hand in the yard when suddenly a figure popped out from the ground and laughed at him.
Ding Yi glanced at the man and asked:
"What did you hear?"
"Song Shu, what they said is quite interesting!"
Jiang Mingyue burst into laughter.
"Speak quickly."
Seeing the old man's appearance, Ding Yi rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression immediately turned serious. He then walked to the stone table in the courtyard, raised his hand, and while writing in the air, spoke calmly:
"Hmm, what's his expression?"
After the old man finished speaking, he quickly ran to the side, bowed slightly, and said:
"He doesn't look angry..."
Ding Yi stared in disbelief at the scene, and it took him a while to realize that the old man was actually playing two roles and recreating the scene for him!
"Old Jiang, I never expected you to be such a talent!"
Ding Yi watched Jiang Mingyue's performance and couldn't help but sigh.
A moment later, Ding Yi also realized from Jiang Mingyue's performance that it was indeed Zhou Ruoxu who had reported him.
"Old Zhou, you've gone astray."
Ding Yi shook his head and muttered to himself.
That night, Ding Yi sat at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking hot tea roasted over charcoal, seemingly waiting for something.
After a while, he raised an eyebrow and suddenly looked towards the exit of the courtyard, where he saw a pretty figure appear there at some point.
"Who is coming?!"
Ding Yi gave a cold shout and suddenly stood up.
Li Wanyun, with a hint of curiosity, slowly walked into the courtyard, looked at Ding Yi, and said with some surprise:
"You seem to have known I was coming?"
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
Ding Yi took a few steps back without making a sound, and said.
"Although you did sound surprised, your pupils didn't constrict, your heart didn't race, and even your hand holding the teacup didn't tremble."
"Everyone says that Li Baozheng of the Wanxiang Sect is the number one expert, but now it seems that the world has underestimated you."
Li Wanyun looked into Ding Yi's eyes and spoke slowly.
"Oh?"
Ding Yi's pupils involuntarily contracted, and he thought to himself that this woman had an amazing ability to observe.
However, he remained calm and continued:
"You know I am the number one expert of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Why should I be afraid of you, a mere woman?"
"Oh? You're right."
As Li Wanyun spoke, she suddenly smiled again:
"We've come this far, and Lord Li still hasn't asked my name? Does he know me?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi shook his head slightly:
"Li Wanyun, the Silver Bell Cult member, committed heinous crimes in the Baihe County area. The files on you in the Surveillance Department could probably fill an entire bookshelf!"
"I didn't expect to be so famous. Well then, Lord Li, don't resist anymore. Let me kill you. Please let this humble woman have a chance."
As Li Wanyun spoke, she suddenly leaped forward, transforming into a phantom as she rushed towards Ding Yi.
Seeing this, Ding Yi remained calm and, at an incredible angle, missed Li Wanyun's palm strike. Then, with a few leaps, he immediately fled out of the courtyard.
Li Wanyun was initially stunned by what she saw, but soon she heard a deafening roar coming from the other side.
"How dare you, the Chaotic God Sect! You audaciously break into the Myriad Manifestations Sect at night and attempt to assassinate our sect leader!"
"I..."
Li Wanyun suddenly understood why Li Baozheng had remained so calm throughout; this guy was simply waiting for an opportunity!
"Oops."
Li Wanyun's face turned ashen, and she transformed into a phantom as she rushed out of Ding Yi's courtyard. But the next moment, a large net descended from the sky and covered Li Wanyun's head!
"Cult members of the Chaotic God Sect!! Kill them!!"
Shouts of battle filled the surroundings. Suddenly, a large number of torches lit up the pitch-black night, and chaotic roars rang out at the same time, making Li Wanyun feel like she was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
"damn it!"
Li Wanyun didn't know why her whereabouts had been exposed, but now was not the time to think about it. With a quick change of pace, she suddenly appeared three zhang away, dodging the large net that fell from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, she waved her long sleeves in all directions, and a large amount of white powder shot out, which was then swept up by her palm wind and flew in all directions.
"Ahhh!"
The lime powder worked very well; in a single glance, the gang members who had surrounded her fell to the ground in pain, clutching their eyes. Li Wanyun snorted coldly at this, then looked in the direction Ding Yi had left, a flash of anger crossing her face.
You dare use me as a pawn? Aren't you afraid of knocking out your own teeth?!
Thinking of this, Li Wanyun immediately leaped and chased after Ding Yi in the direction he had left.
But Li Wanyun had only run a few hundred meters when she suddenly heard a scream from ahead.
"You are Li..."
Boom! !
A huge explosion rang out the next moment, and raging flames shot straight into the sky, turning the entire Wanxiang Sect into daylight in an instant!
