Episode 52: Sword Name, Execution of Immortals

  Yuanshen returns, Li Yan gets up from the bedside and comes to the window, quietly looking at the bright lights of Longtan City under the night sky, looking at the dim sky, muttering in his heart: "It's going to rain again, I don't know if this time will bring spring thunder, thunderbolt, I'm a bit impatient!"

  As he thought of Lei Jie, he suddenly remembered that he still had a Tianxian-level strongman's sword in his hand. However, over the past two days, things had been happening one after another, and he hadn't even had the chance to study or refine it. With a flip of his hand, a three-foot-long jade sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

  "Not copper, not iron, nor steel, once hidden under Mount Sumeru. Without using yin and yang to refine, how can one avoid the sharpness of water and fire? The sword that kills immortals has a sharp edge, the immortals are trapped, and red light rises in all directions. The transformation of the great Lo god is infinite and wonderful, with the blood of the immortals staining his robes."

  Almost identical to the situation at the last black market auction, as soon as Li Yan got the jade sword in his hand, a strange wave of fluctuations suddenly came into his mind. This was a strange rhythm, with a sense of desolation and ancient simplicity, as well as intense killing intent.

  With a thought, Li Yan separated a strand of his divine soul and wrapped it in a drop of essence blood, which dripped onto the body of the jade sword. In an instant, the entire jade sword was enveloped by a thick layer of cyan light.

  If it were an ordinary loose immortal, don't even think about easily refining such a treasure, but Li Yan had almost passed the ninth heavenly tribulation, barely considered as a half-step celestial being, and just managed to reach the level of the master of this jade sword, so he was able to forcibly break open the seal of this sword and refine it.

  Ling Xian Sword: Cast with the essence of the five metals before heaven, forged in the earth's core and tempered by the fire of Li Huo, quenched in the icy waters of the Cold Pool, then infused with eighty-one kinds of the world's most potent toxins to nourish its ferocity, and eighty-one kinds of rare spiritual medicines to nurture its spiritual energy. When it emerges from the furnace, a Daoist immortal is sacrificed to the sword. Wherever this sword points, all who see blood will be beyond salvation, their bodies and spirits annihilated!

  Along with the humming of the jade sword in his hand, instantly, under Li Yan's astonished gaze, it transformed into a crystal clear and transparent green long sword. Not gold, not iron, not wood, not jade, the three-foot sword blade quivered, emitting an aura of killing intent, its sharpness and ferocity extraordinary.

  "What a fine sword, the Slaughter Sword! It truly lives up to its name as the God of Slaughter's sword!" Li Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Immediately after, he raised his hand and a streak of blue light flashed, and the Slaughter Sword had already been sheathed into his own spiritual energy.

  The ancient immortal sword contains a very dense innate spiritual energy. As he nurtures the sword with his primordial spirit, the sword also naturally has spiritual energy that nourishes him back.

  Li Yan suddenly felt it, his heart was overjoyed, he hastily sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, and silently operated the Hunyuan Dali Tianjing.

  At the same time, a shocking event occurred throughout the network. Although the relevant government departments had ordered a blockade, the speed of online dissemination was too fast. Moreover, this was an entire night's time, and simply reposting and linking may have reached tens of millions of times. For a time, the entire forum and internet community were discussing the evidence of Hei Hu Bang's crimes and the collusion between officials and bandits.

  Moreover, there are some videos that are absolutely more attractive than the nude photos of that year. Unfortunately, they were not charged, otherwise, the box office would have been at least 100 million. This topic is exactly what netizens are most interested in.

  It wasn't until then that the members of the Black Tiger Gang realized that their boss and those head brothers had all been killed. The entire office was filled with corpses lying in all directions, their deaths tragic, and blood stained the entire floor red. The remaining gang members were just a motley crew, and upon seeing this scene, they immediately scattered like a nest of bees. If you don't leave now, when will you? This is what they mean by "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter".

  As for calling the police... Uh! Brother, you're not mistaken, are you? You're a member of the underworld yourself, and evidence has been exposed online. If you call the police, they'll catch you first! At this point, it's better to leave here quickly and prepare to escape from Longtan City as soon as possible...

  The Longtan City government was extremely outraged by this matter, and the municipal committee and public security department took emergency action, sealing off all of Hei Hu Bang's industries, investigating officials who had connections with Hei Hu Bang, and taking control of them. In an instant, aside from that one big shot hiding behind the scenes, the Longtan City government had basically carried out a huge purge.

  The Hei Hu Baoquan company has been sealed off by the police at this moment, and in that blood-soaked office, there are two people besides those twenty or thirty corpses. One is a high-ranking police officer wearing a police uniform, and the other is a middle-aged man in casual clothes, who is also silent and speechless as he looks at the tragic scene.

  "Lao Yun, how's the investigation going? Any leads?" The middle-aged man's eyebrows were furrowed with worry as he gazed out at the room full of bloody corpses.

  Lao Yun hastily replied: "Secretary Fang, our city's criminal police department has investigated the scene and found that this murder case is very similar to the one from two nights ago. The victim was almost killed with a single blow, and it was a frontal attack, which shows that the killer's methods are very vicious. The time of death has exceeded 12 hours, and on the table, we found these discs, it seems that the killer uploaded them to the internet after killing these people."

  A middle-aged man with a square face, not particularly handsome, but he has an aura of prestige around him that is no less than Chen Zhenbang's. However, those who know his identity do not dare to underestimate him, because he is the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Longtan City, the top leader, Fang Zheng!

  If he were just the secretary of Longtan City, it would be fine. The key is that he is also a member of the Fang family from Beijing, with the powerful backing of the Fang family, and it's not impossible for him to enter the Standing Committee in the future. That's why Old Cloud, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Longtan City, is so respectful to him.

  "Is that all? Are there no other discoveries?" After listening to Yun Chong's report and flipping through the CDs on the table, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown deeply, his face also becoming gloomy. Because he was very clear in his heart that these were not all the evidence, and there were several important ones for him that were not here...

  Yun Chong saw the situation and hastily added: "It's not that there are no other discoveries. We found out that the people who died the night before last were also members of the Black Tiger Gang, and Wang Ba Tian's son Wang Jie was among them, and he was the only one who didn't die. According to the relevant files we retrieved, we also discovered that this Wang Jie had been involved in a case where a female student named Yang Xue Ying hired thugs to beat up a student named Li Yan, but those thugs confessed that Li Yan's skills were very good and he turned around and taught them a lesson instead."

  "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and hastily asked: "Could these two cases be done by this 'Li Yan'?"

  "No." Yun Chong sighed and shook his head, responding, "After the case occurred the night before last, we also suspected Li Yan, but we found out that on the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Li Yan's mother was attacked and seriously injured at home, and has been unconscious. For the past two days, Li Yan has been staying in the hospital and never left, and we have already obtained the hospital's surveillance video and asked relevant personnel, all of which can prove this point."

  "Is that what you're saying? It seems like this matter has nothing to do with him?" Fang Zheng asked again, his face involuntarily revealing a hint of disappointment.

  "Yes, this matter should have nothing to do with him." Although he didn't know why Fang Zheng was so disappointed, Yun Chong still responded fairly.

  After a slight hesitation, Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "I want a detailed on-site report. This case will be classified as a first-level case, and the city's criminal police detachment will dispatch elite police officers to form a special investigation team. I must find out the truth of the matter in the shortest possible time. As for the materials on the table, I will take charge of them first. Since this case involves many people, once there is any discovery, it must be reported to me immediately."

  "Yes, Secretary Fang!" Yun Chong was also a very efficient person, and he immediately responded and left.

  In the room, for a moment, only Fang Zheng was left alone. Between his eyebrows, there was a fierce and cold killing intent, and in his heart, he secretly said: "No matter who you are, since you dare to do this thing, then you must be prepared to die..."
