Chapter 249 Executioner

When I walked out of the room, I saw many Tai Heng Sect disciples running around.

Chu Qing reached out and grabbed one of them. The man saw Chu Qing and bowed hurriedly:

"I've met the Third Young Master."

"What happened?"

Chu Qing asked softly.

The disciple was stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, he said:
"A thief broke into the gate. We don't know the specific situation. The leader ordered us to search for the whereabouts of the suspicious person..."

"Is there any harvest?"

"No, may I ask if the Third Young Master has seen any suspicious people?"

Chu Qing shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it.

Upon hearing this, the disciple wanted to leave.

Chu Qing nodded and did not continue to stop him, allowing him to leave on his own.

"It's the middle of the night, and there's such a big scene going on. I'm afraid it's something serious..."

While he was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. It turned out that Wu Qianhuan, Wen Rou, and Hua Jinnian, who heard the noise, came over.

Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were questioning.

Chu Qing then told him what he had just heard.

"Is there something exciting to watch?!"

Hua Jinnian suddenly became interested:
"Would you like to find out?"

Chu Qing glanced at Wen Rou, who seemed eager to try, and nodded:

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Besides, if there really is a problem, Wenrou might be able to help.

But the natural fragrance of the nose cannot be exposed and must be kept secret.

But it is convenient to cover it up.

Everyone immediately rushed to the Taihengmen courtyard... The Qingluan Courtyard where Chu Qing and the others were was a relatively remote place, while the Taihengmen main courtyard was more lively.

Many Tai Heng Sect disciples rushed over one after another, and the guests who came to Tai Heng Sect today could not sit still.

On the first day I arrived, there was some noise at night, so naturally I had to come out to investigate.

Soon, Chu Qing and his group followed the traces and arrived in front of a courtyard.

The disciples of Tai Heng Sect heavily guarded this place, and it was obvious that they didn’t want to let even a fly in.

Just as I was wondering whether I should go in and see what the situation was, I heard a voice scolding:

"Who are you to dare to stop this poor monk?"

Following the sound, Chu Qing was also stunned.

He knew both of the people involved in the conflict.

One was the spiritual perception that was knocked away by Wu Qianhuan's [Moonlight is like a Sword] in broad daylight.

The other one was a young man with a dagger hanging on his waist...Luo Wushuang!

After staying at the inn for a while, Chu Qing and Shan Lan returned to Tai Heng Gate and met again at Tai Heng Gate.

It seems that after Chu Qing left with Shan Lan last night, Luo Wushuang also set out early this morning. If we calculate the time, he should have arrived in the evening.

At this time, Lingjue was arrogant and aggressive.

Luo Wushuang took a step back, seeming a little timid, but still said:
"I don't mean to stop you, but the courtyard looks heavily guarded. The Tai Heng Sect obviously won't let us set foot in it. Master, please be patient."

"Hmph, you won't let me? That means you insignificant people won't be allowed to do so. I was born in the Vajra Sect and am a junior fellow of the contemporary Buddhist disciples. How could the Tai Heng Sect stop me?"

Lingjue sneered and pushed Luo Wushuang away.

Luo Wushuang was stunned, as if he had not expected that this spiritual perception was so powerful. For a moment, he forgot to dodge and was pushed by him, staggering two steps and moving aside.

Chu Qing frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard another voice:
"Born in the Vajra Sect? Is that so great? Since when did the Tai Heng Sect become weaker than the Vajra Sect? Does this allow the Vajra Sect to run rampant here?"

"who!?"

Lingjue was furious and turned around suddenly, and saw a group of men in black clothes, wearing conical hats and carrying sabers on their backs, surrounding a young man in blue clothes, walking slowly towards them.

This young man in blue has a handsome face and an extraordinary appearance, but he is a little cold.

When his eyes fell on Lingjue, he suddenly sneered:
"Monks all eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, treat others kindly and are compassionate.

"The monks of the Vajra Sect are worthy of the name Vajra. They always try to be the first, fearing that they will not offend anyone...

“I heard about it when I came here. You were just villains in front of the mountain gate, but your master was beaten by Master Kuang Dao and couldn’t even get up. I thought you had no face to stay in Tai Heng Sect, but I didn’t expect that regardless of the martial arts of the Vajra Sect, the face-skinning skills are unparalleled in the world.

"Since you have the nerve to stay, then just keep a low profile...but you are still so arrogant. You monks, are you eating gunpowder instead of vegetarian food?

"He has a bad temper."

Ling Jue's eyes swept over the group of black-clothed men behind the young man in blue, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, followed by a sneer:
“I thought it was someone else…it turned out to be someone from Ding’an Hall.

"The one who can ask Po Jun to accompany him must be no ordinary character. Please leave your name!"

Chu Qing glanced at the group of men in black. They all had a reserved murderous intent and were not ordinary characters.

According to Lingjue, this group of people should be the famous Pojun unit of Ding'an Hall.

As everyone knows, Ding'an Hall has four departments.

Po Jun, Tan Lang, Bei Dou, Qi Sha.

Beidou is the hall master's personal guard, Tanlang has the largest number, Qisha operates in the dark, and Pojun is the strongest.

It is said that these people all walked out from a pile of dead bodies. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. They are the most powerful swords in Ding'an Hall's hands.

In countless bloody battles, they always won with fewer troops. It was beyond their ability to say that one person could destroy an army, but when faced with enemies that were ten or a hundred times their number, they were often able to kill the enemy and put them into disarray.

There were not many people following the young man in blue, exactly ten.

But the deterrent effect is not shallow. Although his spiritual perception is arrogant, he is not an idiot. Therefore, although his face still has that arrogant expression, his words already show the intention of retreating.

"Lan Shuyi!"

The young man in blue spoke calmly and uttered three words.

Ling Jue's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out:

"Executioner!"

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan couldn't help but look at each other.

Lan Shuyi is known in the martial arts world as the 'Thousand-Thread Soul-Fixing Hand', but compared to this name, some people prefer to call him the 'Executioner'!
Just because this man is extremely murderous, he rarely fights alone, and often engages in gang wars. Anyone who is his enemy will often be annihilated by him, and he will refuse to accept surrender.

This approach naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people...but gang wars are a life-and-death struggle.

The reason why Guishen Gorge was able to stop the war with Chu Qing's intervention was because Tie Lingyun had no intention of fighting, and it was the Liehuotang who unilaterally provoked the war.

The reason why Liehuotang acted this way was not out of its own will.

Therefore, after solving the real culprit behind the scenes, they shook hands and made peace for Chu Qing's sake.

But in real gang wars, it is often the winner who takes all. The name Ding'an Hall sounds very peaceful, but in fact, it was the result of the sacrifice of countless people along the way, and it reached the position of the third hall by stepping on the corpses of countless people.

Therefore, although I am not satisfied with Lan Shuyi's actions, if I am afraid of death, why would I participate in gang wars?
Now that the head is on the gambling table, you naturally have to be prepared to lose.

So they couldn't point fingers at him and could only curse and call him a butcher, saying that he was ruthless and had killed countless people.

But the moment Lingjue said this, he realized that something was wrong.

After all, this is not a good reputation, and according to the other party's temper, today I am afraid I will suffer...

He immediately stepped forward and his figure suddenly floated away.

He retreated five or six feet in one breath, then stood firm. He looked up, but Lan Shuyi didn't move at all. His mouth was just raised, but the smile didn't reach his eyes:

"The Vajra Sect is really getting worse with each generation. Wu Dao is a fool, and the disciples he taught are also useless.

"They are showing off their power by relying on the name of the Vajra Sect, but in fact... it's nothing.

"Don't worry, I don't want to kill you. People like you don't deserve to die in my hands."

Ling Jue's face turned pale and blue in an instant. He had just been insulted by Chu Qing during the day, and then insulted again by Lan Shuyi at night.

Was he from the Vajra Sect born to be humiliated?
He gritted his teeth and was just wondering whether he should yell or curse when a hand appeared on his shoulder.

"Be brave!!"

Ling Jue was furious, and with a burst of internal energy, he was ready to shake off the hand that was so bold as to press on his shoulder.

However, he didn't expect that when the internal force was released, the palm just pressed down slightly, and the internal force came back the same way it went, and the whole force was pressed into the meridians again, and the whole person fell to the ground with a thud.

The whole person was stunned on the spot.

Who is this?

I was so angry that I couldn't help but look back. After just one glance, I wanted to dig my eyes out:

"why you!?"

Chu Qing looked down at him:

"Who do you think you are? Why are you kneeling down for no reason? Come on, get up quickly. You are kneeling in the wrong direction."

He pulled him up and made him kneel facing him again.

Ling Jue quickly broke free from Chu Qing's grasp and jumped onto the wall:

"You guys, you guys are really going too far!!!"

"who!?"

“Got it!!”

He didn't expect that this action of climbing the wall was even more fatal.

The Taiheng Sect was already on high alert at this moment, and everyone looked like a spy who had sneaked in.

As a result, when he turned his head, he saw someone standing on the wall... and immediately several sword energies flew towards him.

Lingjue was so frightened that he covered his bald head and fell down from the wall:
"I am a poor monk, a spiritual master of the Vajra Sect! I am not a suspicious person!"

He was not afraid of these sword energies, but he was worried that if he got into trouble, these Tai Heng Sect disciples would simply kill him as a spy, and then say they had killed the wrong person... Let alone whether Wu Dao could avenge his second disciple, even if he did...his own people had gone to see the Buddha in the West, so he would not be able to survive to take revenge.

For the sake of his own life, he immediately revealed his identity.

But even so, when he got up, there were several swords on his neck.

Several Tai Heng Sect disciples looked at each other, and their eyes revealed the same meaning... should they kill him or not?

Just based on what the Vajra Sect did during the day, they really wanted to kill Ling Jue.

But Lingjue spoke too quickly and said his name without any resistance. If he were to be killed, he would not be able to explain himself.

Finally, a few people put away their swords in dismay, and one person even went over to help in a pretentious manner:
"Isn't this Master Lingjue of the Vajra Sect? The master is not allowed to climb the wall in the middle of the night. What if there are women in the yard... If the Buddhist monks spy on them at night, it will be bad for the reputation of the Vajra Sect..."

Lingjue gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he really couldn't show it at the moment.

I could only pinch my nose and nod, then hurried away from this dangerous place.

After the Tai Heng Sect disciples watched him leave, they bowed to Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi respectively, and then turned around to inspect and investigate.

Lan Shuyi and Chu Qing looked at each other from a distance, clasped their fists, and then heard Luo Wushuang say in surprise:

"Third Young Master, we meet again."

Lan Shuyi was a little surprised:
"Third Young Master?"

Looking at Chu Qing again, his eyes were different again:
"So it was Master Kuang Dao who was here in person. I am sorry for the insolence."

"I dare not. I am disrespectful to you in front of me with the Thousand Threads Soul-Fixing Hand."

Chu Qing smiled slightly.

Lan Shuyi shook his head:

“Actually, I prefer people to call me the executioner rather than this title.

"The Third Young Master came here to investigate what happened?"

"Exactly."

"Why don't we go together?"

"please."

It was the first time the two sides met each other and they had no acquaintance, so when they got together, they didn't have much to talk about.

However, Luo Wushuang felt that they were all enthusiastic and were enjoying chatting with them.

The group arrived in front of the courtyard, and the Taiheng Sect disciple guarding the gate was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, someone walked out of the door and was stunned when he saw Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi:
"Why did you two come together?"

The person who came was Guan Changying.

He asked the Taiheng Sect disciples guarding the door to move aside, and Chu Qing brought his men in. Lan Shuyi asked the Pojun men behind him to stay outside the door.

He followed her into the yard alone.

"It's just a coincidence that we got together."

Chu Qing asked casually:

"What happened in there?"

Guan Changying did not ask any further questions. He just sighed.

"Uncle Zhao... was killed."

"Uncle Zhao?"

Chu Qing was stunned, and then he remembered that he had seen this man in the Yu Jian Pavilion during the day. This man was not well-known in the world, and his surname was Zhao and his given name was Qi Peng.

He is a middle-aged man with a very gentle smile.

Lan Shuyi frowned slightly:
"What happened? I remember that Senior Zhao was a kind person. He even rarely went down the mountain in his life. How could he be killed suddenly?"

"I don't know exactly what happened... I was meditating in my room when a disciple came to report..."

Guan Changying said this and sighed:
"Come with me, my mentor and several other martial arts masters are here too."

He led Chu Qing and his group towards the inner courtyard.

The main house was brightly lit, and Li Junmo and several Tai Hengmen masters were inside.

In the middle was a dead body, and squatting on the ground examining the body was Cheng Tieshan.

Tie Chuqing was also standing aside, brows furrowed.

When she saw Chu Qing and others coming over, her eyes lit up, but considering that the occasion was not right, she quickly lowered her eyebrows and looked solemn.

"Killed with one sword...without any sign of struggle."

Cheng Tieshan stood up at this moment:
"The wound is in the front part of the heart, and the attack was from the front... I'm afraid this person is not from another sect..."

Cheng Tieshan didn't say what he wanted to say, but his meaning was very clear.

This could be... a crime committed by an acquaintance.

The person who killed Zhao Qipeng was most likely someone he knew well.
