Chapter 114 Chu Xuan must die!
"The blood of a strange beast can actually accelerate the Indestructible Vajra technique? Why didn't Old Lu tell me before? Oh right, that poor bastard Old Lu, he's so stingy he even scrimps and saves on a Small Qi Cultivation Pill, how could he possibly get his hands on a third-tier strange beast's blood?"
"Moreover, Lao Lu might not know—"
Although Lu Tong was a master of the Transformation Realm, third-tier beasts were not easy to find, let alone kill!
Outside Qingshan City, strange beasts roam freely, but most of them are only first or second-tier beasts. To hunt a third-tier beast, one must venture deep into the Yunling Mountains.
The essence blood of a third-tier beast is far more potent than many elixirs. It is highly poisonous to most martial artists, and even many martial artists who specialize in body tempering dare not try it easily, let alone Lu Tong.
If Chu Xuan hadn't had the panel and hadn't mastered the Iron Armor Technique, he wouldn't have dared to try it so easily.
The next day, Chu Xuan appeared normal, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"Senior Brother Chu, something terrible has happened—"
Just then, an outer disciple knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Chu Xuan said calmly.
A young man entered.
This person's name is Li Yuan, and he is also an outer disciple. He was recruited by Li Fan along with Wang Kun.
"Senior Brother Chu, something terrible has happened! Senior Brother Li Fan and Wang Kun have both gone missing!" Li Yuan said.
"How could he have disappeared? Could you have made a mistake?" Chu Xuan frowned slightly.
Li Yuan said, "No mistake! I came to relieve Wang Kun who was on night duty last night, but I found that Wang Kun was not there. I thought he was slacking off, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
When I went to feed the exotic beasts, I discovered that Wang Kun hadn't fed them last night. The beasts were all starving and going crazy in their enclosures. I was furious, so I went to confront Wang Kun, only to find he wasn't there, and Senior Brother Li Fan had also disappeared.
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "I understand. Perhaps they have other things to attend to temporarily. Let's wait and see. If they don't return yet, we can report it later. You can go now!"
"Yes."
Li Yuan left.
After sending Li Yuan away, Chu Xuan began to ponder.
The disappearance of Li Fan and Wang Kun was his only weakness. Now that Li Yuan has taken the initiative to speak up, it's actually a good thing for him, as it can fill that gap.
In this way, if Li Fan and the other person don't show up again, he can report it legitimately.
As expected, Li Fan and his companion did not appear for the rest of the day.
Chu Xuan also unusually lost his temper on the spot, ordering everyone to search, but they found nothing.
The next morning, Chu Xuan had no choice but to "helplessly" report the matter to the sect and ask them to handle it.
They were just two low-level outer disciples, and they had only been missing for a day, so nobody cared.
Over the next two days, the news of Chen Liang and Zhang Sanyuan's disappearance could no longer be kept secret and was reported to higher authorities.
The Enforcement Hall sent people to investigate, and after checking the inventory, they discovered that each warehouse in the beast garden guarded by the two men was missing one hundred bottles of third-tier beast essence blood.
This incident immediately caused quite a stir within the Hundred Beasts Park.
These two have only been in charge for a few days, yet they dare to steal sect property?
That's incredibly audacious!
Following this, a thorough investigation of the entire animal park was conducted, which revealed that nearly half of the animal parks had engaged in theft of inventory.
Tong Hao was furious, but he didn't call for violence. However, he felt that killing these managers would have made them feel even worse.
Because Tong Hao's condition was a tenfold return within one month!
This directly led to a surge in the price of exotic beast blood on the black market!
Chu Xuan, the instigator, was not spared either.
Early that morning, a group of disciples from the Outer Sect Enforcement Hall arrived at Beast Garden No. 9 and immediately placed all the disciples, including Chu Xuan, under their supervision, while the others went to search the storeroom!
Chu Xuan was prepared and didn't panic.
The leading disciple was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of amusement on his face.
"So you're Chu Xuan, the kid who got lucky and stole my cousin's place?" the young man said with a forced smile.
Cousin?
Chu Xuan was taken aback.
"By the way, my name is Zhao Mingxu. Remember that! We'll have to deal with each other a lot in the future!" Zhao Mingxu said with a sneer.
Zhao Mingxu?
Chu Xuan's heart sank slightly.
This name is unlucky!
Before Chu Xuan could ask, Zhao Mingxu continued, "You've probably guessed it already. That's right, Zhao Mingyu, the former manager of Beast Park No. 9, is my cousin!"
Chu Xuan feigned realization: "So it's Senior Brother Zhao! A pleasure to meet you!"
"Hehe~!"
Zhao Mingxu smiled knowingly, clearly not intending to be polite, but instead looking around the No. 9 Animal Park with great interest.
Soon, the outer disciples who were inspecting the warehouse finished their inspection.
"Senior Brother Zhao, no problem! All the beast blood is intact and hasn't been replaced."
"The ledger is in order! All the materials from the exotic beasts are complete—"
"The warehouse is well-preserved, and no materials are moldy."
Several disciples spoke up one after another.
Zhao Mingxu was taken aback.
Surprisingly, there's not a single problem?
How is that possible?
Are there any cats in this world that don't steal fish?
Zhao Mingxu glanced at Chu Xuan and immediately snorted coldly, "Take him away!"
Chu Xuan's face immediately turned cold: "What does Senior Brother Zhao mean by this? If there's nothing wrong with the warehouse, why take me away?"
"Whether there's a problem or not is not for you to decide!" Zhao Mingxu sneered. "Besides, who told you there's nothing wrong with this warehouse?"
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and, in front of everyone, replaced a bottle of beast essence blood from the warehouse.
"Hey, now there's a problem!"
The next moment, Zhao Mingxu's expression turned icy, and he shouted angrily at Chu Xuan with an exaggerated air, "Chu Xuan, how dare you! You actually dare to use the blood of an ordinary beast to replace the essence blood of a third-tier beast?! Seize him!"
Chu Xuan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
As expected, man proposes, God disposes!
He guessed that the sect would investigate his storeroom, but he never expected that the people investigating would be related to Zhao Mingxu!
Moreover, the other party was so brazen, directly framing him right in front of him!
But the next moment, Chu Xuan suddenly laughed.
"Senior Brother Zhao, are you deliberately framing me?" Chu Xuan sneered.
"That's right, I'm framing him!" Zhao Mingxu nodded, confidently adding, "What, you're not convinced?"
He knew his framing was clumsy, but he didn't care!
Once Chu Xuan is brought to the Hall of Law Enforcement, there are plenty of ways to get him to open his mouth and confess his crimes.
Chu Xuan said, "I am, after all, the manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden. Even if you want to investigate me, shouldn't you ask Senior Brother Tong's opinion first?"
"Trying to use Senior Brother Tong to intimidate me?"
Zhao Mingxu scoffed, "Let me tell you, forget about it! Stealing sect property is a serious crime. Senior Brother Tong's name alone isn't enough for me to give you face!"
"Yeah?"
Just as he finished speaking, Tong Hao's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Since my reputation isn't enough, I'll come in person. I wonder if that'll be enough to save face? Enough to give you a slap in the face?!"
Immediately afterwards, Tong Hao's tall figure appeared at the door, and in a few steps he came to Zhao Mingxu and slapped him so hard that he flew out of the room.
There was a loud bang.
Zhao Mingxu screamed as he crashed into the warehouse shelves, smashing the entire shelf to pieces. When he got up, half of his face was swollen and several teeth had fallen out.
"Tong—Senior Brother Tong—"
Zhao Mingxu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
"I'm asking you a question! I came in person, isn't that enough to save face?" Tong Hao said coldly.
"I----"
*Smack!*
With a backhand slap, Zhao Mingxu spun around and flew out, crashing into a shelf!
The entire warehouse fell silent. The disciples of the Enforcement Hall, who had been so arrogant just moments before, didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Tong Hao.
No one dared to step forward and help Zhao Mingxu up.
Zhao Mingxu wanted to play dead, but he didn't dare, so he could only stagger to his feet.
"Speak up! I'm asking you a question. Is this enough to give you a slap?" Tong Hao said coldly.
"Enough—enough!" Zhao Mingxu said tremblingly.
"Then stand still!"
Tong Hao said coldly. After Zhao Mingxu stood up, he grabbed his collar and slapped him more than a dozen times, turning Zhao Mingxu's face into a pig's head. Then he kicked him over.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and only then did they dare to step forward and help Zhao Mingxu away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Senior Brother Tong!"
Chu Xuan quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
Tong Hao looked at Chu Xuan with a strange expression and said, "You just... spotted me?"
Chu Xuan immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Senior Brother Tong, you misunderstand. Zhao Mingxu was clearly taking the opportunity to make things difficult for me. I had no choice but to rely on Senior Brother Tong's name. Please don't take offense."
Tong Hao nodded.
Think about it too.
Even Zhao Mingxu and other masters of the Transformation Realm hadn't noticed his arrival, so how could Chu Xuan possibly have?
He didn't dwell on the issue, nodding and saying, "Speaking of which, you've been implicated because of me! That old bastard Zhao Qianyang is always petty and narrow-minded. I embarrassed him that day, and he probably holds a grudge against you. Be careful."
Chu Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
"Yes." Tong Hao nodded, then looked at Chu Xuan and asked, "You've broken through to the Transformation Realm?"
"Thanks to my senior brother's guidance," Chu Xuan nodded.
Tong Hao immediately smiled and praised, "To break through to the Transformation Realm in just over three months is quite impressive!"
"How about it, interested in taking on more responsibilities?"
Chu Xuan was taken aback: "What does Senior Brother Tong mean?"
Tong Hao laughed and said, "You've done a good job these past few months. How about taking over the management of Beast Parks No. 8 and No. 13 as well?"
Of course I'm interested!
Chu Xuan was so excited that his heart was pounding.
If he could take on the role of manager of three beast gardens, his speed of harvesting essence would increase threefold. How could he not be interested?
Although inwardly excited, Chu Xuan remained calm and asked, "Is this... appropriate?"
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Tong Hao waved his hand and said, "Since you think it's okay, then it's settled! Remember, do your job well, and don't be like those good-for-nothings who always cause me trouble—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Hao disappeared.
"Idiot! Useless! Moron—"
Zhao Qianyang's residence.
Inside the room, Zhao Qianyang roared angrily, smashing things, but he wasn't cursing Tong Hao, but Zhao Mingxu, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, standing in front of him.
"Who gave you the audacity to frame me in public?"
"Why the hell don't you just die?!"
-
'
'
A series of angry roars rang out, mixed with the crackling sounds of smashing and breaking.
Zhao Qianyang was so angry that his face turned ashen and his whole body was trembling. He wished he could personally slap this brainless good-for-nothing to death.
Zhao Mingxu stood there silently, waiting for Zhao Qianyang to finish venting before saying with a swollen face, "Second Uncle, I was just trying to get revenge for you and Brother Yu. Who knew that Tong Hao would be so disrespectful? This isn't just a slap in my face, it's a slap in yours!"
"So you know they're slapping me in the face?"
Zhao Qianyang roared in anger again, "I'm just an outer sect steward, not an inner sect elder! Even if I were here, I wouldn't dare to disrespect the other party! You should take a good look at yourself; what right do you have to say such things?!"
"I----"
Zhao Mingxu was speechless.
Zhao Qianyang sneered, "And don't use me as an excuse. Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
Zhao Mingyu has not returned yet; he is most likely dead!
He had searched the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range more than a dozen times, but had not found a trace of it, and had now given up hope.
Now, Zhao Mingxu is the only junior in the entire Xuan Yang Sect, which is why it took a considerable amount of effort to send him to the Law Enforcement Hall.
I never expected the other party to be so incompetent, making such a huge mess on their first mission!
"What could I possibly be thinking?" Zhao Mingxu asked, his eyes darting around nervously.
Zhao Qianyang sneered, "What, aren't you eyeing the position of manager of Beast Park Number Nine?"
"Forehead----"
Zhao Mingxu was surprised that Zhao Qianyang actually knew, and immediately said awkwardly, "Second Uncle, you have such keen insight."
Zhao Qianyang sneered, "Don't even think about Beast Garden No. 9. Even if Chu Xuan is taken down, it won't be your turn! But Beast Garden No. 13 might still have a chance. I'll take a look after a while. Remember, behave yourself during this time and don't do anything stupid again."
Zhao Mingxu immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Second Uncle, I understand."
Da da da~!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
An outer disciple walked in and said, "Steward Zhao, the Hundred Beast Garden just announced that Senior Brother Tong Hao has appointed Chu Xuan as the supervisor of Beast Garden No. 8 and No. 13."
"What?"
Zhao Mingxu's face immediately turned ugly.
Zhao Qianyang's expression also changed; he hadn't expected Tong Hao to value Chu Xuan so much.
He waved his hand, signaling the disciple to leave.
"Second Uncle, no—Father, please think of a way for me!" Zhao Mingxu stamped his foot and cried.
Zhao Qianyang trembled, abruptly looking up at Zhao Mingxu, and asked incredulously, "You—what did you just call me?"
"Father!"
Zhao Mingxu said matter-of-factly.
Zhao Qianyang glared at him and said, "You—you know?"
Zhao Mingxu said, "I'm not stupid, of course I guessed it long ago! Father, you absolutely have to help me, the contribution points for the Enforcement Hall are too low. I can't possibly enter the inner sect!"
To enter the inner sect, it's not as simple as spending three years in the outer sect; one must also accumulate enough contribution points and possess the corresponding strength.
Zhao Mingxu has been in the outer sect for two years, but he has not yet reached the Gang Jin level, nor has he gone out to carry out any missions. His contribution points are far from enough.
With Zhao Qianyang around, he wasn't worried about cultivation resources.
But the latter is entirely up to him; no one else can help him. If he can't be the zoo manager, he'll have to go out into the wild to perform dangerous missions to earn contribution points.
"I see!"
Zhao Qianyang said coldly, "Don't worry, the position of manager of Beast Garden No. 13 is yours, and no one can take it away!"
He has already lost one of his sons!
Now that they only have this one illegitimate child left, they can't bear to let him take any more risks.
Moreover, Zhao Mingyu's disappearance may very well be related to Chu Xuan.
so----
A murderous glint flashed in Zhao Qianyang's eyes!
Chu Xuan must die!
