The street fell into a brief silence at this moment.
Qiao Mu looked at the huge tiger corpse at his feet, bent down slightly, and lifted up the giant tiger's head with one hand.
With the other hand, he took out the white tiger hair from the small cloth bag and held it high in the sunlight.
He held the tiger's hair in one hand and held the bloody head of the giant tiger in the other.
Qiao Mu looked around and said loudly: "This animal hair is indeed from the Green Eyed Flying Tiger of Xuantian Sect..."
Qiao Mu is no longer a police chief.
And now no one cares about the case of the impermanence monster.
Even the female cultivator Mingyue had no time to care about the little cat that she had spent so much effort to catch. Her body was trembling slightly, her pupils shrank, and she was filled with shock and anger.
This person killed the saint's pet so simply and neatly in the street...
But Qiao Mu was still explaining the truth and the case seriously, starting from the sudden appearance of the female cultivator Mingyue last night and the tiger hair she left behind, to the signs of tiger monsters gnawing on the bodies of many of the previous dead... ..
The details of the case were taken from the documents submitted by Chief Inspector Chen, and Qiao Mu simply repeated them.
Even though no one cared about solving the case at the moment, no one wanted to listen.
The Taoists from Xuantian Temple cursed angrily with livid faces, the fat official was shaking with anger and yelling, and more people stood there with pale faces and talked a lot.
But Qiao Mu turned a deaf ear and continued talking to himself.
His eyes swept across the tiger carcass at his feet, the messy street ground, and the remains of pedestrians half-eaten by the ferocious tiger.
"The murderous beast should be killed!" He stood beside the tiger's corpse, holding the bloody tiger's head in his hand, and said in a calm and clear voice:
"This is not the law of Da Yan, nor is it the rule of Xianmen..."
"It's... secular morality!"
Chapter 78 I'm Not a Moral Saint (3k
Morality!
When Qiao Mu held up the bloody head of the giant tiger and said those two words, the people around him were also slightly dazed.
When Qiao Mu drew his sword and wanted to break into Xuantian Temple and clash with the Taoist priest at the door, they mostly stood on the side of the Taoist priest, scolding the captain of the police for being ignorant and disturbing the peace of the immortal gate.
When Qiao Mu took off his police uniform despite being scolded and threatened by the high-ranking officials, they were more surprised and did not quite understand Qiao Mu's actions.
But when the giant tiger killed someone in the street and was shot dead by Qiao Mu, and talked about the case of the impermanence monster, they were moved.
"This constable seems to be really doing practical work?" Some people began to waver.
"He was really saving people just now."
"And those Taoists at the gate of Xuantian Sect want to stop him?"
At least not everyone has the courage to face the man-eating tiger, especially since this tiger seems to be raised by the immortal of Xuantian Sect...
They cannot figure out the big right and wrong, but the people can still understand the obvious good and evil.
They still hid in the distance and dared not get close, but the way they looked at Qiao Mu had changed to a certain extent.
"This man named Qiao Pifu did get rid of the man-eating tiger."
"There may be some misunderstanding here. The demon tiger raised by the immortal of Xuantian Sect is a beast after all. If it is a beast, it is possible that it will show its bestiality. This is not the fault of those immortals."
"The immortals are kindhearted and protect the land of Heyang Prefecture. Of course, they don't want to see a man-eating monster appear under the immortals' throne. Monsters are monsters after all."
The people pointed at Qiao Mu, who was standing in a pool of blood, holding the giant tiger's head, and talked about it.
When Emperor Yonghe hurried over under the escort of the Chu guards, this was the scene he saw.
"How dare he----" Emperor Yonghe's expression also changed drastically.
His heart skipped a beat at first.
The Green-Eyed Flying Tiger of the Saint Wu Qingxin died so simply
In just the time it took to get here, things have developed to this extent
He looked at Qiao Mu's back on the street, and felt an incredible feeling in his heart.
Why
Why could this warrior be so decisive in doing something that even he, the emperor of the time, had to hesitate and think about
Secular morality? You must be kidding...
"Your Majesty, this matter has become a bit out of hand." Guard Chu beside him bowed and said:
"Do you want me to intervene and stop it?"
As the personal guard who protects the Emperor of Great Yan during this incognito visit, Chu Xing is a genuine high-level spiritual warrior.
Of course, he was not the only guard.
It is more than enough to intervene and stop this storm.
But... what happens afterwards
Thinking of this, Emperor Yonghe suddenly said, "That's right, that Qiao Pifu is also a high-level warrior who has achieved success in spiritual cultivation."
“Although his soul is injured and his strength is only one tenth of what it used to be, he is still not an ordinary sixth-rank warrior.”
"Chu Xing, in your opinion, does the behavior of that Pifu Qiao mean that he has another trump card that makes him think he can deal with the Saint Wu Qingxin? For example, some kind of explosive secret method that allows him to temporarily return to his heyday?"
The trump card of a high-level warrior.
This is a reasonable explanation that Emperor Yonghe thought of.
Otherwise, he couldn't imagine why a former high-level spiritual warrior would come to the gate of Xuantian Temple to kill the Green-Eyed Flying Tiger, and even break into Xuantian Temple. Wasn't he afraid of being crushed to ashes by the immortal cultivators
The higher the level of the martial artist, the more he knows how terrifying the immortal cultivator is.
There are nine ranks among martial artists in the world, but the first-rank martial artist, the Martial Saint, who had lived forty years before had all been defeated miserably by the hands of immortal cultivators, and he was the only one who escaped with his life, let alone this ordinary man Qiao.
Anyone who breaks into a Taoist temple by force will surely die!
But if we deal with the Xuantian Sect's Saint Wu Qingxin, maybe there will be another chance? The Saint's immortal cultivation is actually unknown.
Since she joined the Xuantian Sect and was named the Saint of the Immortal Sect, Wu Qingxin seldom went out. She spent her days in seclusion and lived a very low-key life.
But even so, she is still the saint of the immortal sect...
When Chu Xing heard this, his brows gradually furrowed.
"This... I'm not sure whether he has the ability to briefly burst out with high-level strength." Chu Xing also hesitated.
However, Emperor Yonghe's judgment is not without reason.
It is not easy for a warrior to reach a high level. A former high-level warrior has his own pride, and he will naturally not die so easily. There should be some way to save his life, right
"Your Majesty, he hasn't entered Xuantian Temple yet, maybe there will be a turn for the better..."
Chu Xing had just mentioned the word "turnaround".
Then he saw Qiao Mu holding the bloody tiger head and walking towards Xuantian Temple step by step.
This action not only startled Guard Chu, but also amused the Taoists who had gathered at the gate of Xuantian Temple in a menacing manner.
"How brave!"
"This person has committed a grave sin. He dared to attack the Saint's spirit beast and insulted our sect. We should ask the brothers on the mountain to quickly suppress him and grind his bones to dust."
"The Jade Eyed Flying Tiger that killed the Saint not only didn't run away, but also dared to come over here?"
"How dare a mere ordinary warrior disrespect you?"
Qiao Mu's expression remained calm.
"Escape? Why do you want to escape?" He said softly:
"I haven't finished what I want to do yet, why am I running away?"
His gaze passed through the surging crowd, ignoring the indignant Taoists, and fell on the female cultivator Mingyue at the back of the crowd.
"The murderous beast has been executed!" he read aloud:
"But those who let a tiger kill people and take human life lightly will also pay with their lives!"
He walked faster and faster, from walking to running, taking the Shadow Step and rushing straight towards the female cultivator Mingyue!
Qiao Mu didn’t know how strong these Taoists were, nor did he know how long he could live, so he would try his best to kill the so-called Mingyue Immortal!
"How dare you, a mere mortal warrior, be so presumptuous!"
"Why don't you hurry up?"
The female cultivator Mingyue frowned and retreated behind the crowd.
She has been a disciple of the Immortal Sect for about twenty years, but her cultivation in the way of immortality is not outstanding. She is actually good at raising spirit beasts, otherwise she would not be just a servant disciple beside the saint.
Although cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage are regarded as "immortals" in the eyes of the world, they are far from being extraordinary. It would be foolish for them to engage in close combat with ordinary warriors.
In fact, she didn't have much time to pay attention to Qiao Mu, who was undoubtedly going to die. Her heart was filled with fear.
The young tiger of the Saint was killed by a mortal warrior before it even grew up... Especially today's incident, which was more or less caused by her. If the Saint who was in seclusion knew...
She shuddered.
At this time, the Taoists followed Mingyue's instructions and rushed towards Qiaomu.
"Immortal cultivator? This is the first time I've fought against an immortal cultivator..."
Qiao Mu became secretly alert, and then he was dumbfounded to see that many of these Taoists took out swords and knives from under their robes and rushed towards him, waving them.
"This... You are warriors?" This time it was Qiao Mu's turn to be surprised.
However, his question angered all the Taoists.
"You are the crude warrior!"
"Martial artists are just ordinary people, but we have already joined the immortal sect. Sooner or later, we will be able to obtain the orthodox immortal techniques of the Xuanmen sect and achieve immortality!"
Qiao Mu's unintentional question made these Taoists angry and embarrassed.
Seeing their reactions, Qiao Mu had some understanding in his mind.
"I see." He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"A true cultivator wouldn't stand here and watch the door."
"You are just some running dogs who have defected to the Immortal Sect."
If it was a warrior, he would have plenty of experience in dealing with him, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid at all.
Although these Taoist gatekeepers are wearing Taoist robes, most of them are internal force warriors.
He stepped forward one step at a time and rushed into the crowd alone. The two halves of the gun hidden on his body twisted and turned, and a long spear was already spliced together in his hand.
When facing warriors, especially a group fight, it is more convenient to use a spear.
"You are a running dog of the Immortal Sect... You are about to die, do you know that?" The Taoists were also really angry with Qiao Mu, and immediately retorted:
"You look about 40 years old, right? At your age, you are still so reckless and don't know when to act. You are really living like a dog!"
"Who do you think you are? A moral saint?"
"The ancients said that people are free from doubts at forty, but you are over forty and all you know is that you have wasted your life for the so-called morality----"
The Taoist was halfway through his words when Qiao Mu shot him in the throat and he died.
Qiao Mu kicked the Taoist's body away from the gun and said coldly:
"At forty, there is no doubt. That means I will fight forty of you by myself without any hesitation."
He once again displayed his already proficient battlefield spearmanship, and coupled with the internal energy released by the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, no one could match his edge for a while.
But Qiao Mu was indeed lost in thought because of what the Taoist said.
No doubts at forty? A saint of morality? Morality
Qiao Mu certainly knew in his heart that he was not a moral saint and he never wanted to be one.
When he was in Yancheng in the past, doing justice under the names of Qiaomu, Qiaolin and Qiaosen, others said that he had the spirit of the ancient knights, who valued righteousness over life and death.
But he knew he was not that noble.
If he did not actively seek death and achieved a high-quality death, and practiced martial arts until the age of 44 with his own martial arts qualifications, he might not be much stronger than Captain Qian.
