Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister

Chapter 298: 18 Years Ago_2



Who will be the next one?

Thus, several powerful families united to pressure the Three Judicial Departments to find and severely punish the murderer.

In response, Zongzheng had no choice but to clean up after 'Tian Bo'.

He declared that he would definitely bring this murderer to justice to uphold the laws of Great Yu.

In the hall of the Three Judicial Departments.

Zongzheng was very displeased; damn it, now he had become the one who had to clean up the mess.

"Damn thing!"

At this moment, Qin Ke quickly stood up and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what happened?"

Upon hearing that the experts beyond the Immortal Grade of the Peng Family were all killed, he was greatly shocked.

That Peng Family… had experts in the Profound Realm.

"It's nothing, just assign more personnel to patrol rMolan Mansion during this time, as for the rest, don't worry about it."

Increase personnel?!

Qin Ke smiled bitterly in his heart; right now, the Three Judicial Departments had no extra personnel.

However, seeing Zongzheng's expression, he didn't dare to explain, so he could only muster his courage and reply, "Understood, sir, I will personally patrol the entire rMolan Mansion!"

"Hmm! It's just for appearance's sake."

"Ah?"

Zongzheng's words left him bewildered.

He wanted to ask, but he was dismissed.

"What's really going on? Zongzheng must know who destroyed the Peng Family!"

Leaving the Three Judicial Departments, Qin Ke pondered to himself.

If he truly didn't know, he wouldn't have said such things in the end.

And as for what his mentor asked him to investigate,

Eighteen years ago, regarding King Gu Li, there was no related record in the Three Judicial Departments.

"Sigh!"

Qin Ke sighed helplessly, truly feeling in the dark, knowing nothing!

...

In the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments.

After finishing a day of cultivation, Chen Xuan habitually opened the panel.

...

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Profound Grade) (Twelve Layers (2 million/204 million))]

[Skill Points: 9.128 million]

...

"Still too much difference!"

A deep sense of powerlessness rose in Chen Xuan's heart.

Annoyed, he retracted the system.

Not only that, but after so long, there was still no news from Qin Ke.

According to his reply, eighteen years ago, matters concerning King Gu Li seemed to have vanished into thin air.

There wasn't a single record in the Three Judicial Departments.

If there was any, it would be on the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion.

"What really happened?"

Chen Xuan mumbled softly.

But he was sure it must be a significant event; otherwise, there couldn't be no information at all.

It was definitely deliberately concealed by someone.

"Forget it!"

Seeing the sky gradually growing dim, Chen Xuan also prepared to leave.

"Why hasn't this kid left today?"

Chen Xuan looked at Wang Man sitting there, occasionally glancing upwards.

"Come up!"

Hearing his voice, Wang Man instantly stood up and immediately walked to the third floor, coming to Chen Xuan.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Xuan looked at him, noticing his somewhat nervous appearance.

"Uh... it's about wanting to ask for a favor, sir!"

Wang Man scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Speak first!"

Their relationship was limited to superior and subordinate; as for anything else... he had given Chen Xuan information and obtained benefits in return.

It was a trade-off.

Wang Man struggled a bit but finally hardened his resolve, "I want to ask for a few more pills, sir. If I obtain the information you want in the future, I can go without compensation, is that okay?"

"Stuck at the critical point in cultivation?"

Chen Xuan immediately saw his problem.

"Yes! After taking your pills, I'm stuck between the Eight Layers of Purity and Nine Layers, so I'm asking for a few more pills to reach the Nine Layers of Purity sooner, thus increasing my chances of cultivating to the Immortal Grade."

After all, he wasn't young anymore, and as he grew older, his hope of reaching the Immortal Grade dwindled further.

Hence, he felt a greater urgency in his heart.

This was why he hadn't left the Three Judicial Departments today, wanting to try.

To see if Chen Xuan would agree.

"You're over 50, right?"

"Sir, your vision is really sharp to see that."

Wang Man was very surprised, not expecting Chen Xuan to even know his approximate age.

"It's not impossible!"

"Really, sir?"

Wang Man instantly became excited; he had only approached with a try-and-see attitude, but... he didn't expect!

"But... there are conditions!"

"Uh—"

Wang Man was slightly taken aback at first but quickly responded, "Please, sir, tell me!"

"Eighteen years ago, regarding King Gu Li, can you find out about it?"

Chen Xuan had a feeling this kid must have connections.

"What?"

Upon hearing his words, Wang Man's expression changed dramatically, even subconsciously exclaiming.

"Indeed... he knows!"

Chen Xuan rejoiced inwardly and, at the same time, grew more curious about Wang Man.

Even Qin Ke hadn't found out anything after so long, where did he get his information?

"What? Do you know?"

Chen Xuan asked.

But facing his inquiry, Wang Man remained silent, not answering.

This was the first time he'd acted this way.

"It seems the matter from eighteen years ago about King Gu Li is indeed significant!"

Chen Xuan speculated inwardly.

But... since he knew, it should be manageable.

After all, Wang Man's weaknesses were too obvious.

"You can speak freely, no one will know. If I'm satisfied... I guarantee you'll reach the Immortal Grade within half a year!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Man's face changed again, but this time out of excitement.

"Rea... really, sir?"

At this moment, he involuntarily swallowed.

Immortal Grade!

That was the realm he had dreamed of reaching.

Even a genius like Yuan Dao Yi was only at the Eight Layers of Purity.

Reaching the Immortal Grade would qualify him to apply to become a White Robe, and by then... Wang Man would also be someone of note.
