My apprentice is too diligent.

"Huh? I don't have one."

Wang Hu hurriedly denied it, approached Chen Wuji, and whispered, "My Lord Chen, you can't say such nonsense, otherwise big problems will arise!"

"Didn't you say that the county magistrate hasn't been seen for several days?" Chen Wuji said softly.

"I meant that the county magistrate was busy, not that he was missing." Wang Hu said a little frantically.

"...Okay." Chen Wuji didn't bother anymore, "The county magistrate is too busy to see anyone."

"Yes, that's it!" Wang Hu laughed dryly.

Anyway, he didn't admit it.

The county magistrate has been missing for several days. He has not been seen in the backyard of the county government office or the teahouse he often goes to.

This matter has not been exposed yet. It is being suppressed by the chief bookkeeper and Dianshi. They are looking for people and suppressing it for as long as they can.

Chen Wuji had far-reaching associations.

The disappearance of the county magistrate is probably related to the hook-nosed man and his gang.

But the problem came again.

If the hook-nosed man and his gang captured the county official.

Then who killed the hook-nosed man?

Although the old servant surnamed Lu next to the magistrate was once a master of the true energy realm, now his Dantian is broken and there is no trace of true energy. It is impossible to kill the hook-nosed man.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, the fatal wound was a sword wound on the heart.

The hook-nosed man's heart was almost cut in half with one sword strike.

Just from the wounds, one can see that the murderer's swordsmanship is extraordinary.

He killed the hook-nosed man with a sword from the front, but did not cut the body in half.

This shows the murderer's level of swordsmanship and his mastery of control.

"Please let me out, please let me out!"

While thinking, a voice came from the door.

Two men of different heights pushed aside the police officers blocking their way and walked all the way to Wang Hu.

"Wang Captou, right? This corpse was our friend before he was alive. Mr. Captou doesn't need to take care of his body. We will take it back and bury it."

The man who spoke had a greasy face and a round belly. He pointed at the hook-nosed man with one hand, glanced at Chen Wuji, and said calmly.

"Ah, okay, no problem."

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said cooperatively, "Then I'll trouble you two."

"Should be."

Another tall man with thick, snow-white eyebrows grinned and replied, then squatted down and grabbed the hook-nosed man's body with one hand.

The two strode away without looking at anyone else.

After watching the other party disappear from sight, Wang Hucai whispered, "As expected, these two are also in the True Qi realm."

"...They are one of the outsiders in the past two months, right?" Chen Wuji said calmly.

"Yes, these people don't show up very often, but their energy is stronger than the last." Wang Hu sighed, "Baishui used to be very stable, but over the past six months, things have continued to happen."

"The Bear Gang has been wiped out, the Wang Family has been wiped out, the Blood Sword Sect has been wiped out, the Qingye Gang has also been wiped out, and even...even Lao Yang died inexplicably! This is such a troubled time!"

Chen Wuji, "..."

Whether it was a troubled year or not, he couldn't answer.

However, the hook-nosed man and his gang are certain that they have great intentions.

Wang Hu didn't know.

Pang Qianding might know something.

……

Thinking of this, Chen Wuji asked the restaurant owner to take the money, comfort the injured, and then tidy up the restaurant, close it, and reorganize it.

Chen Wuji went straight outside the city.

He found an alley, changed his appearance, put on Qin Shubao's vest, found Pang Qian Ding, and asked about the situation.

"Returning to the master, the county minister is indeed missing."

Pang Qianding replied respectfully, "Not only is the county magistrate himself missing, but his son is also missing."

"Qi Xinshi is gone too?" Chen Wuji raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the county magistrate and his son disappeared about seven days ago." Pang Qianding replied, "I don't know who did it."

"Is that so?" Chen Wuji pondered, "The fight happened at Chenji Restaurant at noon today. Two Zhenqi realms fought against each other, and one of them was killed. Do you know who they are?"

"I don't know." Pang Qian Ding shook his head, "I only know that a group of forty or fifty people came to the county in the past two months. Each of these people is very strong."

Chen Wuji, "...not the government army?"

"It's not the government army." Pang Qianding replied, "Zhao Kongchuang died in Crescent Bay. The governor didn't care about it, let alone send anyone down."

"Because the murderer is very clear that he is the four ghosts of Hanshan. Three of these four ghosts are dead, and only the black-faced ghost is still at large."

……Fine.

I thought it was the government army, but it turned out not to be.

Chen Wuji didn't wait long.

Ask Pang Qianding to pay attention to the movement at all times and notify him in time if he finds anything.

The hook-nosed man, Shi Qiao and the others are plotting something.

If it were just them, they would probably keep it a secret.

But now, a true energy master who was not afraid of them appeared and killed the hook-nosed man in the restaurant in broad daylight.

The person is dead, and it will be a damn thing for Shijiao's accomplices if they don't come back with revenge.

Chen Wuji decided to wait.

And the development of things was just as Chen Wuji expected.

That night, Chen Wuji sat cross-legged on the roof and practiced quietly.

Suddenly I heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the north.

Immediately, his body swayed, flew away from the roof, and Lightning rushed towards him.

From a distance, Chen Wuji saw two figures on the street, fighting each other quickly.

The sword energy and fist seals collided continuously, and the aftermath of the release plowed ravines on the ground.

Chen Wuji suddenly knew one of them.

He was one of the two men who collected the body of the hook-nosed man during the day.

That tall man with thick, snow-white eyebrows!

The person fighting with the white-browed man was covered in black aura, holding an equally pitch-black sword in his hand, stabbing the white-browed man with deadly moves.

The white-browed man kept retreating and retreating, and was no match at all.

As Chen Wuji watched from afar, he couldn't breathe.

laugh!laugh!Tsk~
The sword energy cut and blocked all the white-browed man's escape routes.

The latter roared in fright and wanted to die together.

Unexpectedly, the figure with black energy and black sword suddenly let out a low shout, which shocked the white-browed man's body and made him freeze for half a breath.

When masters fight, the winner can be decided in one breath.

The white-browed man paused and immediately lost the opportunity. The figure with the black sword and black energy seized the opportunity and pierced his heart with a sword.

"Pfft!"

Blood soared.

The figure with black energy and black sword drew the sword and shook off the blood.

The figure flashed, flew into an alley next to the street, and quickly disappeared.

He didn't even touch the body!

Just plain killing?
Chen Wuji was surprised.

Release your mental power, sense your surroundings, and listen for any abnormalities.

As a result, it was discovered that the figure of the Black Qi Black Sword was really far away.

Neither does anyone else for the time being.

What are you waiting for!
shuh~
Swish!
Chen Wuji decisively rushed over from the roof of the building with flying lightning, and came to the body of the white-browed man who fell to the ground. He quickly touched the body and got a few things.

Then, without checking, his body swayed and disappeared into another alley, flickering away from the street.

call!call!
Just as he flew past and hid in the darkness, he heard the sound of breaking wind, approaching quickly from the air.

The next moment, Chen Wuji heard a familiar voice cursing angrily.

"Bastard, who did it!"
