Chapter 156 The Curtain Comes to an End
Chapter 156 The Curtain Comes to an End
Chen Ping'an was running very fast, carrying Mu Wanjun in his arms as he ran down the streets.
Perhaps it was because of the intense running or because her injuries had recovered, but Mu Wanjun gradually regained consciousness in Chen Pingan's arms.
Mu Wanjun, who had just regained consciousness, was a little confused at first. Looking at the scenery flashing away on both sides, she gradually recalled what had just happened.
"I am not dead?"
She opened her eyes and looked up, and saw Chen Pingan's resolute face.
"Master Mu, I will take you to the Pacification Department to heal your injuries now!"
Seeing Mu Wanjun wake up, Chen Pingan said in a low voice.
Feeling Chen Ping'an's fiery masculine breath, Mu Wanjun was a little uncomfortable. However, in an emergency, she gradually calmed down.
"Where's Mai Xiongbo? Didn't he continue to chase us?"
"Mai Xiongbo chased me very closely at first, which put me under great pressure. But later on, he suddenly stopped chasing me."
Chen Pingan explained.
There is no need to make some things so clear. The clearer you make them, the greater the risk of being exposed. It is most appropriate to discuss the process based on facts.
After listening to Chen Ping'an's brief words, Mu Wanjun showed a thoughtful look.
"That Mai Xiongbo was injured by Lord Yan Wu, and his condition is probably not ideal. He is in Weishui City, so it is difficult to chase him for long. However, Mai Xiongbo is a master of the second level of internal energy after all. Even if he is injured, his speed is definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary first level internal energy master. How did Chen Pingan do it?"
Mu Wanjun was a little confused.
However, now is obviously not a good time to ask questions.
Chen Ping'an was moving through the streets and alleys, and from time to time there was a noise coming from around him.
"die!"
A dark shadow suddenly appeared from an alley nearby, holding a short spear, and stabbed Chen Pingan fiercely.
"court death!"
Chen Pingan held Mu Wanjun in his arms, without dodging or evading, he flew up and kicked her.
Pong!
The black shadow's chest caved in instantly and he fell heavily to the ground.
It’s the thief from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!
Chen Pingan recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
With only the third level of Qi and Blood, you dare to attack him!
I simply don’t know how to live or die!
"Ho ho ho"
With just one kick, the black shadow was breathing out more than inhaling.
Chen Ping'an kicked him again, killing him, and left without any regrets.
When Chen Ping'an sent Mu Wanjun to the Nancheng Town Pacification Office, the unrest of the Wanmo Sect in Weishui South City gradually began to subside.
"Team one, go east, team two, go west, team three, follow me. Remember, we will kill any thieves from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect we see. Don't even think about letting any of them escape!"
A man wearing leather boots and a black and red cloak shouted loudly.
Behind him, there were elite officers who moved at the sound.
The Pacification Office in the outer towns gradually freed up its hands and continuously drew elite forces for support. The thieves of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect retreated one by one when they saw that the situation was not good.
During the process, many Wanmo Sect thieves failed to retreat successfully and died on the spot.
As support from the outer town pacification office continued to arrive, Mu Wanjun was also properly accommodated.
Chen Ping'an did not stay in the Nancheng Town Pacification Office, but went out with elite officers to hunt down the remnants of the Wanmo Sect.
There is no better cost-effective battle than this one where you can defeat a helpless enemy!
The pursuit continued until dawn, when it came to an end.
An organized and premeditated riot by the Ten Thousand Demons Cult gradually came to an end with the full intervention of the outer town pacification office.
The losses caused by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect turmoil were quickly counted.
In the outer city of Weishui, the Wanmo Cult deliberately set fire to five places, causing the loss of several houses. Countless innocent people were implicated, dozens of people died on the spot, and hundreds were injured.
In the Pacification Division, 96 officers were killed, 367 were injured, 17 officers were killed, and 21 were injured.
Even three of the Inner Qi Realm priests died, and more than ten were injured. In addition, the chief of the Nancheng Town Pacification Division, Mu Wanjun, was seriously injured.
Fu Yuanming, the deputy chief of the Nancheng Town Fusi, died in the line of duty. His body was found by the officers while it was burning. By the time it was found, it was too late to put out the fire, and only some debris remained. The loss this time was extremely heavy!
Of course, the situation on the Ten Thousand Demons Sect wasn’t much better.
From the perspective of casualties, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect initially achieved great results, but with the rapid response of the outer town pacification office, the casualties on the Ten Thousand Demons Sect began to increase sharply.
In the end, the casualties on the side of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were even greater.
However, Wu Haihua, the trigger of this incident, was successfully rescued by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect! In addition, the main site of the turmoil was in Weishui City, and the casualties of the people and the damage to property meant that the two sides were evenly matched this time.
The Ten Thousand Demons Sect completely retreated, and in the next few days, they began to appease and calm the situation. In addition, there were some other things to investigate and understand.
Chen Ping'an also had special investigators come to inquire about the situation.
In response to this, Chen Pingan answered truthfully except for hiding some important things.
"Hmm? Lord Chen, do you mean that you can still escape the pursuit of Mai Xiongbo, the guardian of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, by holding Lord Mu?"
The person investigating Chen Pingan was a deputy director of the Outer Town Fusi, who was at the Inner Qi Realm. He listened to Chen Pingan's description of the situation and expressed his doubts at the right time.
"Master Ren, Chen did not escape from Mai Xiongbo's pursuit, but just barely made him unable to catch up." Chen Pingan explained patiently.
Hearing this, the head of the out-of-town pacification office looked at Chen Ping'an with a flickering gaze.
"If I'm not mistaken, Master Chen, you haven't entered the inner energy realm yet, right?"
"That's right. Chen's cultivation just reached the sixth level of Qi and Blood a few days ago, and he has not yet entered the Inner Qi realm."
"Without entering the Inner Qi Realm, and with someone in his arms, how could Mai Xiongbo, who is at the second level of the Inner Qi Realm, not be able to catch up with him? Sir Chen, did you remember it wrong?"
"Master Ren doesn't know. At that time, Mai Xiongbo was seriously injured because of Yan Wu and Master Yan. His speed was not as fast as in his prime. Master Yan can testify to this."
Chen Pingan ignored the pressure from the other party and replied with a smile. Seeing that the other party still had doubts, he continued.
"In addition, Chen is good at a light skill, and has already mastered it to the highest level. I dare not say anything else, but in terms of speed, it is no worse than that of ordinary people in the inner energy realm!"
"Qinggong? What kind of Qinggong?"
Manager Ren's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but ask.
"Eight steps to catch the cicada!"
Chen Pingan calmly responded to the rather oppressive interrogation and passed it safely. The director of the Fusi from another town finally dispelled his suspicion of Chen Pingan.
As an investigator, he would have reasonable suspicion towards everyone. He was not targeting Chen Pingan specifically, and he had no other intentions.
However, this time, he learned that Chen Pingan had cultivated a superior light skill to the great perfection. He would also report the matter impartially and write it into Chen Pingan's file.
After sending the person away, Chen Pingan closed the door. After entering the room, he sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about the details of what he had just dealt with.
After checking it several times and finding no problems, Chen Pingan finally felt relieved.
"Alas, that exquisite sharp blade was finally discovered!"
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Pingan let out a long sigh.
The fine blade hidden in the tree was discovered by professional criminal investigators from the Waicheng Town Fusi. It was also because of this discovery that the Waicheng Town Fusi did more analysis and had more speculations about the person who killed Fu Yuanming.
However, no matter how they guessed, they would not guess that it was Chen Pingan.
Although he left early in his last wave, he was successful in destroying the bodies and there was no negligence.
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan took out a wooden box from under the bed.
Opening the wooden box, there were two pieces of parchment inside. Both were the size of a palm, and the touch was completely different from sheepskin and cowhide, as if they were made of some special material!
One of them was the one he happened to buy on the black market.
The other one was found inside the skin on the back of Mai Xiongbo's neck after he killed him!
When the two pieces of parchment were compared with each other, they could actually be pieced together to form a complete map.
Treasure map!
Chen Ping'an looked somewhat excited.
