Chapter 3738 What has that wretched wretch Du Changshou done?!
It only took less than half a day.
Du Changshou came to Chiyuan Valley.
Also.
The other party did not come alone, but brought two cultivators at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm as guards.
Although Du Changshou was not worried that Chi Zhenzi would take action against him, the Shenyang Domain was not peaceful either.
With two more peak-level Immortal Emperors protecting you, it will be much safer.
After entering the Crimson Abyss Valley, Du Changshou quickly found Shen Changqing.
"senior--"
Just as he smiled and was about to bow and speak, Shen Changqing stepped forward without saying a word, instantly unleashing a blood-red sword light that killed him on the spot.
Even the two peak Immortal Emperor cultivators who accompanied them were not spared.
"boom!"
The three bodies exploded, their souls vanished, and not even their corpses were left behind; they were all taken away by Shen Changqing.
Then.
Shen Changqing left Chiyuan Valley and disappeared without a trace.
The other cultivators in Crimson Abyss Valley were stunned when they saw this scene, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen.
But soon.
They were shaken to their core.
"Wasn't that a manager from Tongtian Pavilion?"
"That should be right. Judging from the clothes he is wearing, they definitely belong to the manager of Tongtian Pavilion!"
"Who has the audacity to attack someone from Tongtian Pavilion, especially a manager there—"
"Hurry! The manager of Tongtian Pavilion died in Crimson Abyss Valley. We might all be implicated!"
The other cultivators who originally wanted to refine pills in Crimson Abyss Valley now felt as disgusted as if they had swallowed flies.
What does it mean to be sitting at home when disaster strikes from the sky?
He was peacefully refining pills in Crimson Abyss Valley when this happened. If Tongtian Pavilion really misunderstands, he'll be left speechless and unable to express his suffering.
Immediately.
Many cultivators from Crimson Abyss Valley hurriedly left.
As mentioned earlier, although this matter has nothing to do with him, who can guarantee that the Tongtian Pavilion will not take its anger out on him?
If we were to get involved, it would be a catastrophe.
No one doubts the strength of the Tongtian Pavilion.
As a top-tier merchant guild that spans the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, Tongtian Pavilion possesses unfathomable strength. Ordinary Immortal Emperor forces, or even ordinary longevity sects, are utterly insignificant in the face of such power.
No evidence is needed; mere suspicion is enough for the Tongtian Pavilion to wipe out the forces behind them.
This.
The domineering nature of top powers.
Rules are, in essence, constraints imposed on the weak.
True strength never requires adherence to rules.
……
the other side.
Shen Changqing returned to the Heavenly Dao Immortal City without making a sound.
Killing Du Changshou was an easy task for him.
He's just a mere Immortal Emperor.
Killing such cultivators is as easy as killing ants.
As long as the other party can be lured out of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, then everything will fall into place naturally.
It's likely that Du Changshou would never have imagined, even in his death, that he himself would be the one to kill him.
and this.
This was also the result Shen Changqing wanted.
Of course.
If Tongtian Pavilion were to investigate further, it would surely be able to see that Chi Zhenzi of Chiyuan Valley is not the real Chi Zhenzi.
but--
Biyou Holy Land is also extraordinary.
Du Changshou was merely a manager at Tongtian Pavilion.
Even if the other party dies, the latter may not necessarily make any significant moves.
In any case, Akashiko's problem has been temporarily resolved. If the news does leak out later, then we'll have to make other plans.
There is no wall that cannot be sealed.
Once something is done, it will inevitably leave behind hidden dangers.
Whether these hidden dangers will be exposed depends on one's luck and how cleanly one handles the situation.
However, in Shen Changqing's opinion, he handled things quite cleanly.
Not only were all those in the know completely wiped out, but they also left no bodies behind, making it extremely difficult to investigate further.
now.
After returning to the Immortal Abode.
Shen Changqing stepped into the chaotic space and immediately began to completely destroy the corpses of Chi Zhenzi, Du Changshou, and the others, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Simultaneously.
He also obtained some cultivation resources from Du Changshou's storage ring.
Compared to Chi Zhenzi, the cultivation resources in Du Changshou's storage ring were insignificant.
This result.
This was within Shen Changqing's expectations.
Most cultivators do not keep their treasures in their storage rings; people like Chi Zhenzi are extremely rare.
After taking stock of his spoils, Shen Changqing was in a great mood.
Since entering the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, he has spent hundreds of millions of high-grade immortal stones, not to mention top-grade immortal stones.
Killing Chi Zhenzi and Du Changshou now would not only make up for all the losses I've incurred over the years, but I would also make a considerable profit.
……
at the same time.
News of what happened in Crimson Abyss Valley spread quickly.
The Tongtian Pavilion trembled violently.
After all, it was shocking to see a manager killed in broad daylight.
In a short time.
All eighteen stewards of Tongtian Pavilion were gathered together, each with a solemn expression.
"Tell me, how much do you know about Du Changshou's murder in Crimson Abyss Valley?"
The speaker was Shen Xiao, the current head steward of Tongtian Pavilion, who was also the only Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint in the Shenyang Immortal City branch.
As soon as the other party spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became much more oppressive, and the remaining stewards all looked serious.
Both were in charge of affairs.
The head steward is the nominal head of the branch, whose status and position are unmatched by ordinary stewards.
not to mention.
Shen Xiao himself is a Ninth Tribulation Half-Saint.
Such strength alone is enough to make them bow down.
As soon as Shen Xiao finished speaking, a steward respectfully replied, "Reporting to the head steward, no one knows why Du Changshou went to Chiyuan Valley."
After his death, we also sent people to Crimson Abyss Valley. There was only a trace of residual sword energy left there, and nothing else.
This was obtained in Crimson Abyss Valley; it's stained with the power of that sword energy and Steward Du's blood!
After the other party finished speaking, he took out a blood-stained rock.
This rock, tempered day and night by the earth's fire in the Crimson Abyss Valley, has long been extremely hard, and contains an irresistible, scorching aura.
However, within the rocks, there was not only the scorching heat of the earth fire, but also a faint trace of killing sword energy.
Shen Xiao reached out and grabbed the rock, which was now in his hand.
Then.
He used his divine power to land on the rocks.
In an instant.
"boom--!!!"
An extremely powerful and murderous sword aura suddenly erupted, causing Shen Xiao's expression to change slightly.
"What a powerful and murderous sword aura! The cultivator who left behind this sword aura must be a master swordsman with unfathomable cultivation. He must be at least a half-saint, or even stronger!"
Du Changshou is merely a Celestial Emperor; when did he offend such a powerful figure?
Shen Xiao initially thought it was just a simple feud, but when he witnessed the sword energy contained within the rocks, he was somewhat alarmed.
Logically speaking, Du Changshou should not have offended someone of this level of strength.
Then.
Shen Xiao attempted to use this rock to deduce the secrets of heaven.
The scene of Crimson Abyss Valley reappeared.
But the next breath.
Then an unparalleled sword aura seemed to slash across the long river of time, causing his sea of consciousness to tremble violently, giving him the illusion that it was about to collapse at any moment.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the rocks instantly turned to dust.
"Head Steward!!"
Everyone else's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
Shen Xiao's face showed fear: "This kind of being is definitely not a half-saint. This is at least a living saint, or even stronger than a saint."
What on earth did that wretched Du Changshou do to offend such a powerful figure?!
That was a saint!
It could even be a being stronger than a saint.
otherwise.
He had only made a simple deduction about the secrets of heaven; how could he have suffered such a severe backlash?
Shen Xiao had a premonition that if he were to truly confront such an existence, he would likely not escape his fate of destruction.
Such powerful individuals are not to be trifled with, not only in the Heavenly Dao Immortal City, but also throughout the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and even encompassing Chaos.
This moment.
Shen Xiao no longer cared whether Du Changshou lived or died.
His only concern was that Du Changshou had offended such a powerful figure, and whether the other party would vent their anger and then take action against the entire Tongtian Pavilion.
With the current strength of the Heavenly Dao Immortal City branch, it is definitely no match for such an existence.
Tongtian Pavilion is spread throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Although it has a strong foundation and powerful strength, not everyone will give Tongtian Pavilion face.
In other immortal realms, there have been instances where cultivators from the Tongtian Pavilion provoked other powerful figures, resulting in the latter wiping out the entire branch of the immortal realm.
Although this incident enraged the Grand Secretariat, which dispatched powerful figures to suppress it, that was a later matter and had little to do with him personally.
After all, he was already dead. What use would it be if the Grand Secretary took revenge on him in anger?
It can be said.
If Du Changshou were still alive, Shen Xiao would want to slap him to death to prevent him from bringing disaster to Tongtian Pavilion.
Upon hearing Shen Xiao's words, the other managers were all horrified.
"Then, according to the steward, what should we do?"
"You all should not act rashly. Try to suppress this matter, and there is no need to continue investigating the matter of Crimson Abyss Valley."
I will report the rest to the cabinet.
Such a powerful figure is beyond our ability to deal with. Now we can only hope that after killing Du Changshou, he will not take his anger out on the entire Tongtian Pavilion.
Otherwise, none of us will escape death!
Shen Xiao's voice was stern; doing nothing was the best course of action.
If the Tongtian Pavilion launches a large-scale investigation and displeases that powerful figure, the other party might take action against the Tongtian Pavilion.
These old monsters, who have cultivated for countless years, have often ruined their minds, losing all rationality and acting primarily based on their moods.
and so.
The safest course of action for Tongtian Pavilion is to remain inactive for now.
Upon hearing this...
Many of the managers nodded hastily.
"We understand!"
"Also... instruct your subordinates to be more careful in their work from now on, and not to offend any people they shouldn't, or Du Changshou will suffer the same fate."
If I were to truly provoke an unapproachable powerhouse, I would personally clean up their mess without anyone else needing to intervene!
Shen Xiao gave one last stern warning.
