Chapter 485 Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth
tricky!

Not only Jin Zhufeng and Yun Jun, but even Sun Xiu, who had just got off the carriage with a long sword in his arms, had frowns on their faces at this moment.

Over the past two years since the theft of the Yunxiang Ding in Hengshan City, the three men have traveled thousands of miles and tried every possible means, but have yet to find any clues about the person behind the theft.

The Jingping Division certainly has secret techniques, but we don’t know who the people are, so how can we capture or kill them?

"Even the Yunxiang Ding can't attract anyone."

There was a murderous look on Jin Zhufeng's brow. He had been a detective for decades, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult case.

"It's not without gain."

Yun Jun raised his hand and grabbed it. His true energy turned into tiger claws and he lifted Sikong Xing up from the mud.
"Just now, under my pressure, this old thief finally let out some information. The person behind him is a top master..."

"what?"

After hearing Yun Jun's retelling, Jin Zhufeng and Sun Xiu's expressions changed.

There are only about ten top masters in the world, including those old guys who are on their deathbed, and all of them are the leaders of powerful forces.

"The ultimate grandmaster?"

Jin Zhufeng glanced around coldly and saw that the masters under his command, including the masters of the Jingping Division dressed as bandits, had retreated one after another.

"Jin Shengwu is about to die. Could it be that he wants to switch to the art of worshipping gods?"

"Long Xixiang lives in seclusion in Hengshan City, and Nie Xianshan is also there..."

"Xie Wangsun, this shouldn't be the case. This is the head of the Xie family on Henglongdao. He has always been careful about his reputation and it is impossible for him to collude with such a thief."

"Master Da Ming, what about Xie Tongzhi? They are ranked eleventh and twelfth on the Heroes List, and they can barely be considered top masters."

"Among the more than ten people, a small number are in the court, and most are in the sects... Could it be Chi Zhuiyang and Murong Qing?"

"It can't be that there are two Si Masters? Would Si Kongxing deliberately say this to confuse people?"

"If this thief had such a brain, he would never do such a stupid thing as stealing the Yunxiang Ding..."

……

In the rain, the three of them communicated with each other through voice transmission, expressing various speculations and suspicions.

In the shadows far away, Li Yuan listened attentively. He had already changed to a control combination that enhanced his spiritual perception. With concentration, he could hear the intermittent voices of several people.

Sound transmission may seem mysterious, but it is actually a method of using true Qi and internal strength to vibrate the air across space and make sounds in people's ears.

Naturally it can be intercepted.

"It's okay to be wrong."

Master Li Dao touched his chin, and he found that keeping Sikong Xing was really a smart move.

When this group of people mentioned their second and third division masters, they didn't think of him.

But he had to admit that he had underestimated the importance the court attached to incense. The three famous detectives spent two or three years just to catch him.

"If they take this tripod as well, Emperor Qian will probably be furious, right?"

Li Yuan was muttering to himself, but he remained unmoved. He just listened attentively and looked at him carefully.

These three great detectives in the rain are all quasi-grandmasters who have achieved great success in blood exchange, but for him at this moment, they are not even a trouble, let alone capturing a grandmaster.

"Such a high-profile setup must have a back-up plan..."

Li Yuan thought to himself.

If he used the Yunxiang Ding to set up a trap, he must have had a huge back-up plan. At the very least, he couldn't have not only failed to catch the person, but also lost the second Yunxiang Ding, right?
Judging from his own experience, he would do the same thing. It is unreasonable for these police chiefs not to understand this.

and so……

"What's their hidden trick?"

Li Yuan held his breath and concentrated, but he couldn't help but pinch the corner of his clothes. It was the Canglong cassock.

"Go away."

After talking in the rain for a while, Yun Jun spoke first. He picked up Sikong Xing and led a group of subordinates, then turned around and disappeared into the rainy night.

In front of the carriage, Sun Xiu sighed: "Although it is the order of His Majesty, if it is really a master who deliberately hides it, you and I can do nothing about it."

"I can not be reconciled."

Jin Zhufeng's face twitched. He even called in the Yunxiang Ding. If he couldn't catch the person, he would be in trouble or even punished.

"In my opinion, it's fine to take Sikong Xing as the culprit. After all, he is the thief who stole the tripod."

Sun Xiu glanced at Yun Jun's back and said, "After killing so many bandits, it's time to balance out the merits and demerits."

"If it really doesn't work, this is the only way."

Jin Zhufeng closed his eyes, opened them after a moment, and walked slowly to the carriage.

Through the carriage curtain lifted by the wind, Li Yuan saw the Yunxiang Ding and the sword.

"The sword?"

Li Yuan's pupils shrank.

It was an unsheathed red sword with golden dragon-shaped patterns on it that flowed like water. Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell it was no ordinary item.

But he did not notice any flash of weapons.

"The red-gold dragon sword, this is the spiritual image of the Jingping Division Master!"

On second thought, Li Yuan secretly felt lucky. If the Taoist priest had not been so steady and rushed forward angrily, he would have been hit by the sword.

The Grandmaster's spirit form turns into a sword. Even if he is wearing the blood-red dragon armor, the mirage dragon armor, and the blue dragon cassock, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop him, right?
"A mouthful of the Yunxiang Ding could actually pull out the Jingping Division Master?"

Master Li Dao was quite shocked, but he still restrained his energy and hid in the crevice of the stone, only holding the Canglong cassock tightly in his hands.

In the carriage, Sun Xiu and the other man looked at each other, straightened their clothes, and then bowed and said, "Please show up, Master!"

hum~
As the two men bowed, the scarlet-gold flying sword made a trembling sound, and the next moment, it turned into a middle-aged man with a slender physique wearing a golden python robe.

"Master!"

The two men knelt on one knee, looking respectful.

"Is there anything gained?"

The head of the Jingping Division glanced around and asked calmly.

"Reply to Master..."

Jin Zhufeng was filled with shame as he reported the news discovered by Yun Jun.

"Top Grandmaster?"

Jingping Division Master frowned slightly: "Anyone who can stop Zhongli Luan may not be a top master." "Master, you will understand."

Neither of them dared to raise their heads.

"Forget it, let's continue investigating."

After a brief pause, the Chief of the Jingping Division waved his hand and said, "Since this person is not coming, he must have already gone into hiding. In this case, you should send the Yunxiang Ding back to the Divine Capital."

"Yes!"

Jin Zhufeng and the other man bowed, and the middle-aged man turned around and turned into a red-gold flying sword again. In a flash, he disappeared in the night rain.

"call!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Sun Xiu let out a sigh:

"Brother Jin, if you encounter such a difficult case in the future, please don't come to me again. I really can't bear it..."

Jin Zhufeng didn't say anything, but just waved his hand, and his scattered subordinates came back one after another.

Soon, the convoy set off again.

"This rain will continue to fall."

In the shadows, Li Yuan looked at the sky. The dark clouds had not dispersed, and there were thunder and lightning. At that moment, he was not in a hurry, nor did he pace.

Just quietly watched the carriage go away.

call out!
Not long after, he heard a faint sound of a sword, and a red-gold flying sword came through the air, circled around the convoy, and then disappeared again.

"...This old guy is so insidious."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, secretly thanking his luck. If he hadn't always acted cautiously, he would have been caught red-handed.

He lay in the crevice of the rocks, and waited until the convoy was almost out of sight. Then, after a slight hesitation, he followed in the shadows.

After walking and stopping for two hours, when the rain gradually subsided, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the head of the Jingping Division had really left.

He pressed his hat and walked out from his hiding place.

……

"Master Si is still magnanimous."

In the carriage, Jin Zhufeng and his partner sat cross-legged opposite each other, setting up a table for a drink. Sun Xiu held the wine glass and relaxed.

"It has cost me some affection."

Jin Zhufeng was in a bad mood and would rather be punished.

"We need to use our favors when necessary. Come, have a drink."

Sun Xiu raised his glass.

Jin Zhufeng drank the wine in his cup and felt quite bitter: "I still can't accept it!"

"There are so many unsolved cases and uncatchered thieves in this world, why bother?"

But Sun Xiu let it go.

"That's it, that's all."

Jin Zhufeng let out a long sigh and said no more. After a few drinks, he relaxed a little. As he was raising his glass, he heard someone knocking on the carriage.

"Who?"

Sun Xiu frowned, lifted the carriage curtain, and saw a rain-soaked hat.

"Ok?"

Jin Zhufeng was stunned at first, then his expression changed drastically. Under the bamboo hat was a sallow old face.

"not good!"

The two men who were drinking were actually very alert in their hearts. The moment they realized something was wrong, their true energy rose up and their swords and spears made explosive sounds.

But it's still slow.

Li Yuan, who had been dormant in the middle of the night, made a move that was like a flash of thunder. He stretched out one hand and grabbed the Yunxiang Ding.

Apply force with both feet at the same time.

There was a loud 'boom' and the rugged mountain road cracked. Large pieces of mud, sand and rocks rushed into the sky along with the rain.

"Enemy attack!"

A shocked, angry and shrill voice exploded.

The carriage was torn apart by the energy, Jin Zhufeng roared in anger, the spear flew out of his hand, and he flew away with a burst of energy.

"what!"

Several masters of the Jingping Division who were unable to dodge screamed in pain, their clothes and armor were torn apart by the true qi, and they fell to the ground coughing up blood.

Sun Xiu soared into the air, swept his sword across, and with the sword light whistling, he leaped dozens of feet away.

The two men's reactions were quick and their attacks were violent, but it was still too late.

As the sounds of spears and swords exploded, Li Yuan had moved several times in the wind and rain and jumped several miles away.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't care about Jin Zhufeng and the others at all. What he was worried about was the Master of Jingping Division who might not have gone far.

Therefore, once he succeeded, he had no intention of fighting with the two men. He mobilized all his palms and soared like a dragon.

After a few dodges, the roar was left far behind.

How fast is Li Yuan at this moment?

Even without the blessing of the Weapon Control Talisman, he was confident that he could deal with a master-level warrior with the help of two pairs of high-level boots.

Even if a top master puts all his strength into it, he can still maneuver dozens or even hundreds of moves!

At this moment, he burst out with all his strength. Even though Jin Zhufeng and the other two were chasing him desperately, they didn't even see his shadow.

"Master!"

Loud roars were heard from the mountains. Sun Xiu and the other man exerted their inner energy to the point where their voices almost broke.

angry!
Shocked and angry!
In the wind and rain, Jin Zhufeng's eyes were red and he was extremely frightened and angry. He jumped onto the mountain wall and looked into the distance. He saw the wind and rain were coming rapidly and the water vapor was rising.

But where can I see any human figure?
"Master!"

Jin Zhufeng's hands and feet were cold and his whole body was trembling.

call out!
A moment later, a red-gold light roared in from afar. Before anyone arrived, the roar was already echoing among the mountains:
"court death!!"
