Chapter 58 Taking the Blame
The first to arrive was You Ziheng.
As a top martial arts sect with an ancient heritage, Chunyang Palace's flying and escaping methods are naturally top-notch in the world.
However, as both masters, this is not a desperate escape, and the gap is not very big. Just as You Ziheng landed, Pei Zhantu also rushed over.
This was originally an uninhabited house, so Kong Chengshun was able to rent it that day.
Now the house no longer exists, even the bricks, tiles, wood and stones are gone. Under the sweep of that powerful sword energy, ordinary houses are no different from paper.
Even the foundation was flattened.
The entire ground sank more than three feet, forming a long deep pit, the bottom of which was very smooth, obviously caused by the sharpness of the sword energy.
Although the sword energy had dissipated at this time, there were still gusts of wind like sharp blades in the air.
"Sixth-rank master, Gengjin sword energy." Pei Zhantu took a glance and judged the general situation. "This house covers less than one acre, and the sword energy is also controlled within this range and has not spread. It seems that it is only aimed at Kong Chengshun."
"I don't think so." You Ziheng still looked drunk, but his expression was quite solemn. He jumped into the deep pit, dug in the soil, and took out a long sword with an ancient shape. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, interesting."
At this time, Wu Zongshan and Wang Lang also rushed over. They were only sixth-rank martial artists, and their flying speed was far inferior to Pei Zhantu and You Ziheng.
"What's going on, you two?" Wu Zongshan, as the master of Huangtong Mansion, asked.
"This is the place where Kong Chengshun rented. It was destroyed by the sixth-grade Gengjin sword energy. Kong Chengshun should have been annihilated." Pei Zhantu briefly described it, and then looked at You Ziheng in the deep pit and said, "What's the matter with that sword?"
"It's a magic weapon." You Ziheng said lightly, he held the hilt and looked at it carefully.
"What!?"
"Magic weapon?"
"A magic weapon of the third grade of heaven?"
The other three people present were all stunned, almost doubting that they had heard it wrong.
Isn't this the place where Kong Chengshun rented?
How could a magic weapon appear?
"That's right, a divine weapon of the third rank." You Ziheng jumped out of the deep pit, gulped down two mouthfuls of wine, and laughed: "Hehe, is this considered a fairy fate? I went down and dug a few times, and got a divine sword."
"It is indeed a divine sword, but it seems to be sealed by a powerful person." Pei Zhantu also saw the grade of this ancient sword, but he was even more confused in his heart, "How could a sealed divine sword be here with Kong Chengshun, and what happened to the sword energy just now, aiming at this divine weapon?"
"But if it is just to get the divine weapon, why is it so powerful? Wouldn't it be better to assassinate Kong Chengshun?" Wu Zongshan was also a little confused.
The earth-shaking roar just now could be heard by almost half of Huangtong Prefecture City. It was as if it was deliberately trying to attract people here. It didn't look like they were trying to get the divine weapon at all.
Clang!
At this moment, the ancient sword suddenly trembled, making a sword sound, and an old voice came from it.
"Kid from Chunyang Palace, what are you pretending to be? Wasn't it you who just slashed out the sword energy?" Fu Ya's voice was very angry. He had regained consciousness now.
But he was in the hands of a fifth-grade master, and he couldn't escape at all.
Although the complete Fu Ya sword was a heavenly third-grade divine weapon, it was now sealed and had no ability to attack independently.
Even if it was held in someone's hand, it was only equivalent to a hundred-refined weapon close to the sharp weapon level.
It was impossible to escape from the master's hand.
When Fu Ya sword spoke, the surroundings suddenly became dead silent.
Pei Zhantu, Wu Zongshan, and Wang Lang's faces changed immediately, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. They looked at the divine weapon in disbelief.
The divine weapon spoke!
This is not just a matter of the divine sword having spirit!
You Ziheng's hand holding the Fuya Sword also trembled slightly, but on the surface he looked like he had expected it. He actually burped and laughed, "Senior, you have a really bad temper."
As he spoke, thirty-six apricot-yellow lights flew out from his shabby Taoist robe and immediately wrapped up the Fuya Sword.
The sound in the sword stopped abruptly and became quiet.
It turned out that the thirty-six apricot-yellow lights were all talismans. You Ziheng directly sealed and suppressed the "spirit" in the magic sword.
——The Fuya Sword was originally sealed, and the spirit that could be transmitted to the outside world was not strong. Therefore, it was not difficult for a fifth-grade master like You Ziheng to seal it.
Pei Zhantu and others were relieved when they saw that the Fuya Sword had calmed down.
"So it was you who did it. When did you learn the Gengjin sword energy?" Pei Zhantu looked at You Ziheng. He had already believed what the Fuya Sword said just now.
This can also explain why You Ziheng found the magic weapon as soon as he arrived here, because he came for this magic sword.
"Secret Sixth-grade Sword Qi Kung Fu, just learning for fun... burp!" You Ziheng exhaled another breath of alcohol, and laughed: "I made a lot of noise, mainly to lure you over, after all, it would be bad if I didn't seal him."
Then he bowed to Wu Zongshan and said: "I have caused some trouble to the mansion master, please bear with me."
"Master, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that Huangtong Mansion would have a bigger disaster." Wu Zongshan hurriedly bowed in return, and he was still a little scared.
"If you hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid it would really be a disaster." Pei Zhantu nodded and said, "It's safe to seal this magic sword in Chunyang Palace."
"I'll go back to Chunyang Palace after Zhou Heng's assessment is scheduled tomorrow." You Ziheng said seriously, and at the same time glanced at the direction of Zhou Heng's home.
...
"Congratulations! Killed the vulnerable enemy Kong Chengshun, lucky bag [copper] +1."
Zhou Heng didn't have time to care about the system reward prompt. After releasing three palm thunders, he took advantage of the chaos and quickly left this "crime scene".
Things went smoothly.
It basically developed according to his plan.
He knew his own strength level very well. Using palm thunder to make Fuya Sword temporarily unconscious and stagnant was already the limit. It was impossible to prevent the future troubles of the magic weapon level.
But he couldn't do it, but others could.
There are now two sixth-grade and two fifth-grade in Huangtong City, and each of them has a high identity background. It is likely that they can temporarily seal Fuya Sword.
Therefore, Zhou Heng's idea was:
While killing Kong Chengshun, he would try to make a big noise to attract the attention of these strong men, and use the palm thunder to prevent the Fuya Sword from escaping. When those strong men arrived, they would naturally find this magic sword and deal with it.
Moreover, the attack of Gengjin Sword Qi Jue is at the level of the sixth level of the Secret Grade. He is only at the ninth level. Normally, it is impossible for him to cut out such a powerful sword energy.
As long as he leaves the "crime scene" quickly enough and is not discovered, he can basically clear his suspicion perfectly.
Even if there is a reasoning expert who really finds out that he did it.
At most, it will attract the hatred of Changxing Sect.
Compared with the threat of the magic weapon level that he may face when following, this is not worth mentioning at all.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Zhou Heng felt refreshed after solving a big problem so quickly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, with a strong smile.
But as soon as he returned to his own door, the smile on his face froze.
Under the moonlight.
A Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, messy hair, and a drunken face leaned against the door, looking at him with a smile.
You Ziheng.
