Chapter 13: Kill Three Birds with One Stone

Chapter 13: Kill Three Birds with One Stone

Unsurprisingly, the disciple distributing food discovered the three corpses in the Stone House Area, and reporting it immediately caused an Uproar.

Law Enforcement Disciples from the Stone House Area entered in formation, the Morning Session was cancelled, all Spirit Slaves were placed under strict surveillance, and the three Managers arrived together, a Drama thus unfolded.

Steward Liu, who had been riding high recently, stood at the forefront with his hands behind his back, his face livid as he looked at the three Spirit Slave corpses that seemed to have been pierced by ten thousand swords.

Narrowing his eyes, he keenly sensed a Chilling Qi from them.

"Ice Sword Technique…"

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Steward Duan, who was standing aside with a nonchalant expression, and said in an icy tone, "Fatty Duan, did you do this?"

Steward Duan was taken aback, frowning as he replied.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Steward Liu immediately burst into a tirade.

"Fatty, do you think I'm blind? Only you know the Ice Sword Technique, if this Icy Qi from the wounds isn't your doing, then whose is it?"

The quarrel between the two fell into Manager Liu's eyes. He maintained a silent posture, quietly taking a few steps back, appearing unwilling to participate in the dispute.

Fatty Duan snorted coldly, pushed aside the one surnamed Liu, and after carefully examining the corpses, his expression instantly changed. Cold sweat dripped inadvertently from his forehead, and he rolled his eyes as he said,

"It's not just me in the Stone House Area who knows the Ice Sword Technique."

"Are you talking about that Spirit Slave? Heh———"

Although there was prior animosity between them, and Wang Yu was also Steward Duan's man, having learned the Ice Sword Technique, Steward Liu did not believe this explanation.

The last time he saw it, Wang Yu's Ice Sword Technique was not yet a Perfection, the condensed ice swords were thick and large, and the cross-section of the wounds caused was not very smooth.

The three corpses today, no matter how you looked at them, had to be done by someone who had cultivated the Ice Sword Technique to Perfection to form this kind of small wound from a sharp blade piercing through the body, and only Fatty Duan could achieve such devastating lethality.

A mere Spirit Slave, only at the Second Layer of Qi Condensation, and having to painstakingly condense Spirit Sand, could not possibly have such Mastery of Techniques.

"You won't admit it, huh? Then come with me to arrest that kid for interrogation."

Hearing this.

Steward Duan was temporarily speechless. Just now he was only thinking about clearing himself of suspicion, forgetting True Lineage Su's instructions to win over his subordinates, and Wang Yu was the best example.

Now that he was in trouble again, it was really difficult to choose.

Moreover, in his eyes, this matter was done by Wang Yu, there was no other possibility.

Hardening his heart, he couldn't take the blame.

"Then arrest him for confrontation, who's afraid of who!"

"He's your man, of course you're not afraid of confrontation."

Steward Liu sneered repeatedly, ordering people to carry the corpses, and took the lead to walk towards Stone House Number Eighty-Three where Wang Yu was located. After a short while, they arrived at the door.

His eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the signs of damage on the iron door, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

"Could it be… Fatty Duan has already prepared countermeasures? Is he sincerely trying to suppress my Prestige?"

Not only Steward Liu thought so, but the third Manager Liu, who had been watching from the sidelines, also thought so.

"Wang Yu, get out here."

Fatty Duan didn't care so much, and shouted loudly. Wang Yu then timidly moved out, and before the three could speak, his knee went soft and he collapsed to the ground.

"I killed them, I will submit to the punishment of all Managers."

Steward Liu's heart tightened, as expected!

Although he didn't have a good impression of Wang Yu, this surnamed Duan beast was so despicable, not hesitating to harm himself eight hundred to injure his Prestige.

In this way, he must not let him succeed, and after pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth.

"Wang Yu, is it? Do you know the punishment for killing Spirit Slaves and damaging Cold Blood Peak property?"

Wang Yu deliberately glanced at Steward Duan, shaking his head in silence.

Doesn't know?

Steward Liu's confidence increased a bit, and he sternly explained.

"The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect has nine Tortures—Lingchi (Death by a Thousand Cuts), Bronze Bull, Boiling Oil, Insect Swarm, Five Senses, Heavenly Lantern, Soul Extraction, Burning, Yang Ding.

"If you confess your guilt, you will receive at least three Tortures, first the Boiling Oil to endure the pain of being fried, then after Miraculous Healing, you will experience the suffering of being steamed by the Bronze Bull, and finally Soul Extraction and soul refinement to become a Ghost Slave of the Seventh Peak, forever a slave and servant, hardly able to Reincarnation!"

Wang Yu indeed heard the punishment regulations for the first time, no need to pretend, he naturally showed a shocked and unbelievable expression, staring blankly at Steward Duan.

As if waiting for his explanation.

Fatty Duan was not particularly shrewd, but not dumb either, and immediately realized Wang Yu's intention, and couldn't help but speak.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't Spout nonsense, how do you know disaster won't come from your words…"

"Steward Duan has great official authority!"

Steward Liu interrupted his words, and the Aura of Great Perfection of Qi Condensation was undoubtedly revealed.

"In front of us Managers, you still dare to Spout nonsense, and threaten a Spirit Slave to confess guilt for you, you are simply lawless and unrestrained!"

"It's not———"

Fatty Duan wanted to cry but no tears came, feeling extremely wronged in his heart.

His shifty eyes suddenly glimpsed the damaged iron fence of Stone House Number Eighty-Three, as if he had found a loophole, and said in a shrill voice.

"This fence, must be the traces of Wang Yu secretly sneaking in and out at night, those three people were definitely killed by him!"

Steward Liu's eyes became colder.

"You mean to say that the Law Enforcement Disciples on night watch were Dereliction of Duty, and couldn't even keep an eye on a small Spirit Slave, do you believe that?"

The Law Enforcement Disciples in formation around them were unwilling to take the blame.

"We are at least at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage of Cultivation Level, and our Divine Sense can extend outwards. I dare to guarantee that the Spirit Slave Wang Yu was always in the Stone House last night."

Look, this is the general trend, no one is willing to take the blame, they only need to cooperate with Steward Liu.

At this moment, the disciple who distributed food and discovered the corpses took the initiative to step forward and said.

"This matter is the disciple's fault. When distributing food in the morning, this Spirit Slave was sleeping soundly in bed. When the disciple saw that he was not diligently condensing Spirit Sand, he kicked a corner of this fence. The damage there was done by the disciple."

Steward Duan: "...…Ah?"

How many Spirit Stones did you give him, to be so cooperative?

In his eyes, this was slander, a targeted attack by Wang Yu in collusion with Steward Liu, it was betrayal!

Right now he couldn't do anything to Wang Yu, as long as True Lineage Su said a word, he could forget about being promoted to the Outer Sect and becoming a formal disciple of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect for the rest of his life.

"Heh~

"Birds of a feather.

"Wang Yu, don't forget what you got from True Lineage Su, what did he surnamed Liu give you? That you would rather help him scheme against me!"

Steward Liu's eyes widened.

"Still dare to slander and frame, men, take down this fatty."

Just as he was about to order people to escort Steward Duan to the Cold Blood Peak Hall of Law Enforcement, a Law Enforcement Disciple hurried over, handed a cloth bag to Steward Liu, and whispered something in his ear.

Suddenly, it was like a bolt from the blue, making his whole person stunned, and the hand holding the cloth bag couldn't help but tremble.

Inside was none other than Spirit Sand.

And the Spirit Sand that the Spirit Slaves in the Stone House Area handed in every month was based on the amount of one tael per person, and it was perfectly clear to everyone who this extra amount was for.

Now that things had blown up, and so many Hall of Law Enforcement disciples had come, it was too late to silence them.
