103: Chapter 103 Another Identity

Leaving the Jidao Martial Arts Hall!

Commander Chu Xingchen immediately flickered and vanished in an instant!

Not long after, he arrived at the second floor of Qingyun Restaurant.

Inside a private room.

A man in black robes was sitting quietly in a chair, waiting.

“Protector Chu, you're back?” The black-robed man looked at Commander Chu Xingchen and asked directly, “How did things go? Was it done by the people from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall?”

Commander Chu Xingchen shook his head, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and gulped it down!

Putting down the teacup, he then looked at the black-robed man and said, “According to my observations, this matter shouldn't have been done by the people from the Jidao Martial Arts Hall!”

“But Lin Feng is the Poison Scorpion Organization's most recent assassination target. Could this really have nothing to do with the Jidao Martial Arts Hall?” The black-robed man frowned slightly and asked unwillingly.

“Mhm, I observed Lin Feng carefully. Looking at his expression, it didn't seem fake,” Commander Chu Xingchen said confidently. “Besides, that kid is currently only at the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm. Do you think that just by himself, he could kill Young Master Su Ming?”

“That's true. Young Master Su Ming was a classic practitioner of both body and martial arts, practically invincible within the Core Condensation Realm!

A mere Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm couldn't possibly be his match!” The black-robed man nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, he changed the subject and said, “Since Lin Feng couldn't be the killer, what about Hall Master Su Tongtian? He is a Late Stage Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse. It should be easy for him to do this, right?”

Hearing this, Commander Chu Xingchen replied, “Before summoning Lin Feng, I had already probed Hall Master Su Tongtian indirectly. He should be completely unaware of this matter.”

“So, the Jidao Martial Arts Hall can be ruled out?” the black-robed man asked.

“Mhm!” Commander Chu Xingchen nodded heavily and continued, “In my opinion, our next focus should be on investigating the Badao Martial Arts Hall and the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall!

After all, those two old fellows, Master Li Badao and Hall Master Guo Yunxiao, are no good. They are narrow-minded and hold grudges for the smallest things.

The Poison Scorpion Organization's assassins have also assassinated many of their Disciples in the past!”

“Mhm, you're right. Then we'll do as you say!” The black-robed man nodded slightly.

“By the way, since you've come this time, did the Sect Master have you bring any blood crystal pills?” Commander Chu Xingchen asked with a face full of anticipation.

“Haha, of course. Here are three bottles of blood crystal pills, thirty in total. They're yours!” After the black-robed man finished speaking, he flicked his hand and took out three bottles of Medicinal Pills.

Through the thin bottles, one could see the Medicinal Pills inside, which were as bright red as blood.

These blood crystal pills were refined using the essence blood of Cultivators and were extremely evil!

But they were very useful for increasing Qi and blood and for achieving a Breakthrough in one's Realm.

The reason Commander Chu Xingchen colluded with the Demon Corpse Sect and agreed to work for them was precisely because of these blood crystal pills.

Due to limited talent, he had been stuck at the Late Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm for a full three years, unable to break through the bottleneck.

Furthermore, cultivation is like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you fall back!

Because he had been unable to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm for a long time,

as time passed, Commander Chu Xingchen found that the Qi and blood in his body were deteriorating by the day, even showing signs of decreasing.

Taking these blood crystal pills could maintain his Qi and blood and prevent them from fading.

So when the Demon Corpse Sect approached him, both parties hit it off immediately!

On the surface, he was still a dog of the imperial court, serving the Demon Suppression Bureau.

But in secret, he was also a Protector of the Demon Corpse Sect.

Whatever actions the Demon Corpse Sect had in Qingyun County, he was the one in charge!

This time, the Demon Corpse Sect Master's son, Young Master Su Ming, had died inexplicably in the Poison Scorpion Organization's lair!

This matter naturally required Commander Chu Xingchen to step forward and investigate.

“Uh... three bottles of blood crystal pills are too few, it's not enough!” Commander Chu Xingchen said with dissatisfaction.

“Don't worry, as long as you successfully find the true culprit who killed Young Master Su Ming, you will be rewarded with another ten bottles of blood crystal pills!” the black-robed man said.

“Are you serious?” Hearing this, Commander Chu Xingchen's eyes couldn't help but light up!

“Mhm, as long as you work hard for the Sect, the Sect will not mistreat you!” The black-robed man nodded heavily.

“Haha, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to solve this case and find the true murderer of Young Master Su Ming as soon as possible!” Commander Chu Xingchen said with a solemn promise.

“Then I'll leave this matter to you, Protector Chu!”

...

Jidao Martial Arts Hall!

After seeing Commander Chu Xingchen out of the martial arts hall,

Hall Master Su Tongtian returned to the main hall.

“That Battalion Commander Chu is a bit strange today!” Hall Master Su Tongtian sat in his chair and glanced at Lin Feng beside him.

“Oh? Why does Master say that?” Lin Feng asked.

“Don't look at how Battalion Commander Chu usually puts on a dignified appearance; in reality, he won't do anything without a personal gain, he's extremely greedy.

It's almost impossible to get him to put his heart and soul into something that has no benefits.”

Speaking to this point, Hall Master Su Tongtian picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and continued, “But today, he came to me first thing in the morning to ask about the destruction of the Poison Scorpion Organization's branch. Isn't that strange?

After all, the Poison Scorpion Organization has always been incompatible with the imperial court, like fire and water. The Poison Scorpion Organization couldn't possibly give him any benefits, so why would he work so hard on this?”

“Mhm, it indeed doesn't make sense!” Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he nodded in deep agreement.

“And one more thing!” Hall Master Su Tongtian continued to complain, “If the imperial court really issued a large reward for this, Chu Xingchen would inevitably take a cut. How could the actual reward that reaches us be that much?”

“Master means that the rewards Battalion Commander Chu mentioned earlier are all fake?” Lin Feng asked calmly.

“Mhm, they're most likely fake!” Hall Master Su Tongtian said with a smile.

“As expected, there's something wrong with Chu Xingchen!” Hearing this, Lin Feng completely confirmed his suspicions.

Because when Chu Xingchen was speaking earlier, he had been staring at him intently without blinking.

This was what had caused Lin Feng to become wary.

It seemed that Chu Xingchen's visit to inquire was definitely on behalf of some major power.

“Could it be the Demon Corpse Sect?” Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but be suddenly startled!

If that was the case, it would be too terrifying!

One must know that Chu Xingchen was a Battalion Commander of the Great Yong Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau, a person of high status and power!

If even someone like him had defected and secretly joined an evil path like the Demon Corpse Sect,

could this world still be okay?

Fortunately, he had remained calm earlier and hadn't shown any flaws.

Otherwise, once Chu Xingchen saw a clue, he might have acted violently on the spot and captured him directly.

“Feng'er, what are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought?” Seeing Lin Feng remain silent, Hall Master Su Tongtian asked with a smile.

“Ah! It's nothing!” Lin Feng shook his head.

“By the way, today is the day of your formal apprenticeship. Once you become my seventh Personal Disciple, you can bring all your family members to the Jidao Martial Arts Hall to live with you!

Of course, if you find it inconvenient and don't want to bring them, you can continue to live outside...”

“I'm willing, I'm willing!” Lin Feng answered without hesitation.

He was just worrying about his family's safety!

He hadn't expected Hall Master Su Tongtian to take the initiative and suggest that he bring his family over.

If they lived in the martial arts hall, there would be no need to worry about his family's safety.

After all, Hall Master Su Tongtian was a Late Stage Divine Transformation Realm powerhouse, one of the several giants standing at the peak of Qingyun County!

If anyone wanted to harm his family in the martial arts hall, they would have to weigh whether they were qualified enough.

“Mhm, alright, it's settled then. You can go back now and bring them all over!” Hall Master Su Tongtian smiled.

“Mhm, okay, I'll go right now!” After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned and left the hall.

Immediately, he left the Jidao Martial Arts Hall and headed straight for the direction of Qingyun Alley.

...

Not long after Lin Feng left!

Senior Brother Niu Ben and Third Senior Brother Lu Fan also quickly followed him out of the martial arts hall gate.

“Lin Feng, you're just a commoner from the Slums outside the city, a mud-legged person from the lowest level. And yet you dare to covet my beloved Sixth Junior Sister?” Looking at Lin Feng's departing back, Senior Brother Niu Ben secretly gnashed his teeth!

“Eldest Senior Brother, are we really going to make a move on him?” Third Senior Brother Lu Fan asked in a low voice.

“Mhm, if we don't act today, there will be no chance at all in the future!” Senior Brother Niu Ben said fiercely. “What? Are you afraid?”

“Haha, he's just a trash at the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm, why would I be afraid?” Third Senior Brother Lu Fan smiled disdainfully.

“Then let's go. Let's send him on his way together!”

Senior Brother Niu Ben called out and, leading Third Senior Brother Lu Fan, secretly followed...
