Lu Bei came forward with a knife in hand, smiling kindly.
The giant python was tragically cut in half by the collapse of the secret realm. Even though it had strong vitality, it could no longer use its magical powers. Its body quickly shrank and turned into the appearance of an ordinary person.
Chao Li Su is now hunched over, with wrinkles all over his face and a skinny body. He no longer looks like a handsome young man, and his demigod body, which he was so proud of, can now only run rampant in a nursing home.
It is not said that those who practice Taoism can keep their beauty forever, but after reaching the innate realm, it is difficult for the butcher knife of time to leave too much mark on them. If it were not for the skills they practiced, their appearance would not change much.
Chao Li Su aged instantly, either his end was near or he was seriously injured and his foundation was destroyed.
That’s right!
The old face corresponds to the Snake Dragon Cult leader in the player's screenshot. Lu Bei guessed in his heart that even without him flapping his little wings, the secret realm would collapse around version 2.0.
Lu Bei's guess was correct. The secret realm existed because of the snake god and was destroyed because of the snake god. However, it had nothing to do with Chao Lisu's aging and damaged foundation. If one digs deeper, it is still because of the snake god.
Chao Lisu was too greedy.
He consumed a large amount of Blood Soul Fruit and created his own secret method to obtain a demigod body. His physical body was too connected with the secret realm, so the secret realm was destroyed, and his years of hard work were lost. His old body was his true appearance.
"You, have destroyed my Snake Dragon Sect!" He spoke hoarsely to Li Su, his eyes full of hatred, his face as bark-like and twisted.
"Calm down, old man. I'll give you an idea."
Lu Bei pursed his lips and said sympathetically, "Look at you, your resentment is so strong that it can be seen from two miles away. Why don't you put on a red dress now? I will sponsor you a belt. You can hang yourself on the southeast tree and turn into a fierce ghost. Then you can come to me for revenge and you will be smiling in your grave."
"You sharp-tongued fellow, today, even if I have to die in pieces, I will take you with me to be buried with me."
He spoke to Li Su in a fierce voice, his eyelids opened with red lines, and his body was covered with red mist, drawing poison from the bodies of the believers at his feet. His momentum rose step by step.
It’s a shame to say that you have to queue up and wait for the lottery!
Lu Bei patted She Xuan on the shoulder and waved his hand, his sword energy flying everywhere: "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but there is no need for you to be buried with me. There are too many people who want to be buried with me. I am not an emperor, so how can I have such a big mausoleum to accommodate you all?"
The sword energy is everywhere and the sword light is dazzling.
Brilliant white light covered the sky and the earth, rushing towards Li Su's location like a torrent. The latter leaped up, his old body still able to do things like push a cart, and floated far away into the fog ten feet away.
"rise!"
Lu Bei raised his eyes, golden light burst out, and a long river of scorching white sword energy rushed up into the sky, appearing in the air as an eagle flapping its wings. Looking around, it looked arrogant, its energy was violent, and each feather was lifelike.
The sword energy tore down, three times faster, and caught up with Chao Lisu who had no way to escape, and knocked him into the heavy fog.
Boom—
Dust flew up and the ground shook slightly.
Lu Bei raised his hand and summoned a wind dragon to clear the thick fog around him. He did not check to see if Chao Li Su was dead, but glanced at the location of a dozen high-heeled shoes.
Half of a fifty-meter-long giant python fell from the sky, and then struggled for a long time. All the members of the Snake Dragon Sect who escaped from the secret realm were crushed into photos by their leader. Only Huang He, who was in the Innate Realm, was still alive.
As expected of a physical cultivator, his vitality is comparable to that of cockroaches.
The thick fog cleared a large area, and Chao Li Su walked out with injuries all over his body. The red poisonous gas transformed into a giant python totem behind him, hissing like a living creature.
"If it's just an ordinary venomous snake, I advise you to give up resistance and leave yourself a chance to survive."
Lu Bei shook his head slightly. If God wants someone to die, he will make him mad. Sensing the resentment and madness in Chao Lisu's eyes, he stopped talking nonsense. He spread out the Five Elements Wheel under his feet, and the two pillars of wind and thunder fell from the sky, forming the Five Elements Bagua diagram together, freezing Chao Lisu in the position of Kan Gua.
The next second, the golden feathers spread out, the giant eagle flapped its wings and tore the giant python totem into pieces, the eagle's claws trampled on Li Su's skinny body, and the golden hook-like beak pecked down fiercely...
Bloodline suppression!
[You killed Chao Lisu and gained 1.2 million experience points]
[You have completed the mission [Unsolved Mystery]]
[You completed the main mission: Solve the case, and gained 500,000 experience points]
[You have completed the main task: Find out the truth of the case and arrest the real murderer. You will get 1.8 million experience points based on your contribution.]
[You completed the side quest: Destroy the Snake Dragon Cult, and gained 700,000 experience points based on your contribution]
"This is just too little experience..."
"Wait a minute, arresting the real murderer has 1.8 million experience points, how come destroying the Snake Dragon Cult only has 700,000? Without my courage to face death, my spirit of not fearing strong enemies, and my determination to sacrifice teammates, the Snake Dragon Cult is still alive and well. How come their contribution points are not enough?"
Looking at the pitiful 700,000 experience points, Lu Bei said that the calculation was wrong and asked the programmer to publish the algorithm.
It is true that the Snake Dragon Cult was wiped out because of the explosion of the secret realm, and the Snake God was largely responsible. But if he had not practiced the innate Qi, the Snake God would have been sealed in the quilt for who knows how long. His contribution was greater than the sky, so it must be more than 700,000.
"Damn it, this rubbish game tricked me into coming here to kill..."
…
Three days later, Langwu County.
The Huangji Sect's large ship slowly sailed away from the river bank. Huang He stood at the bow with a frustrated look on his face. He looked back several times and sighed.
He was very sad that Xuanyinsi solved the case.
Lu Bei moved into the proprietress's boudoir. He felt heartbroken, lost and depressed.
In the few months since he came to Langwu County, he has led his brothers in working hard to investigate cases. Every day they are either in Hongxiu Pavilion or on the way to Hongxiu Pavilion. He has boosted the local people's livelihood and industries and provided relief to ragged women. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard.
What's the result
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel depressed. A case that had not been solved for three months was solved in one day by others. A butt that had not been touched for three months was touched in one day by others.
Although Huang He did not see it with his own eyes, he had fought for many years, had solid theoretical knowledge, rich operational experience, and added a huge amount of materials to the rendering template. He could imagine with his toes how happy Lu Bei was during those three days.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The most embarrassing thing was that Lu Bei saved his life, so even though they had different positions, he had to thank him.
It’s not over yet. The Xuanyinsi’s super high efficiency makes the Huangji Sect look like a piece of shit, and they will be scolded when they return.
Huang He felt that his job as manager had come to an end.
"What bad luck! If the secret realm still exists, I, as the first person to discover it, will definitely be able to make up for it."
"By the way, what happened in the secret realm? Why don't I remember anything?"
…
"Second brother, look into my eyes and tell me the truth about what happened in the secret realm."
In Hongxiu Pavilion, Hu San and Lu Bei sat opposite each other under a soundproofing cloth, while Aunt Xiang was guarding the door outside.
"I told you the truth, you just don't believe it."
Lu Bei shrugged and told Hu San everything that happened in the secret realm. However, the other party did not trust his character and suspected that he was hiding something.
God have mercy on him, except for deleting the snake god's nonsense and hiding the opportunity that She Xuan and the golden-scaled snake had obtained, he really confessed everything.
Anyway, they are all harmless trivial matters, it doesn't matter whether to talk about them or not. Instead of wasting Fox San's precious time, it is better to listen to his glorious deeds of killing people.
These are the key points.
I hope Fox Three will write the report truthfully, and I also hope that the higher-ups will give him more substantial rewards after seeing that he has escaped death several times.
"Look into my eyes when you speak!" Fox Three slammed the table and stood up, sticking his head in front of his second brother.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
After staring at each other for two seconds, Lu Bei took a breath and slapped Qingcheng Qingguo's face away: "I told you to stay away from me. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Our godmother only has two sons. If I am turned into a lesbian by you, she will cry to death."
"Her? Haha, she's almost dead."
Fox Three curled his lips: "Second brother, you are still young, you have never seen the true evil of human nature, but you don't know that it is difficult to guard against thieves in the family. Our mother is the real villain."
"Detailed."
"I'll make a bet with you. When you go to visit your relatives in the capital someday, my mother will definitely drug you at night, and then seal your cultivation and lock you in the room where you will be helpless even if you cry out for help." Fox San said with certainty.
"There is such a thing?!"
Lu Bei's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Then what? Should we call over a few beautiful fox fairies to do all kinds of tricks to make me look ugly?"
"There is no fox fairy, but your eldest brother has one."
Fox Three rolled his eyes several times: "For your own good and for my own good, please remember to tell me before visiting relatives, and make sure that we are not at home at the same time."
"Is it so scary..."
Lu Bei shuddered and raised his hand to smooth out the goose bumps on his arms. He would rather die than go to the capital city because of what Hu San said.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about the secret realm, I won't pursue it."
Fox Three rolled his eyes at Lu Bei and continued, "But the Snake Dragon Cult's case is too big. Two hundred thousand people in Langwu County have been poisoned. It will take at least half a year to recover. You must hand over the thief's hand!"
"Didn't you see it, Chief Thief?"
Lu Bei was surprised and said, "I just said it very clearly. I rushed into the secret realm and surrounded thousands of Snake Dragon Cult members by myself. I killed the stubborn deputy leader, the saint, the left and right protectors, the four heavenly kings, the eight Vajra, and the thirteen great protectors. I scared the leader Chao Li Su so much that he pissed himself and activated the formation to summon the so-called snake god. In the end, he destroyed himself. The secret realm collapsed and destroyed his demon body."
"Second brother, your brother is not blind. The leader of the Snake Dragon Cult is in the Xiantian realm. He is not so timid. At least he will not be scared to death by you, who is in the Baodan realm."
Fox Three raised his hand and knocked on the table, jokingly saying, "It's obvious that your young lady and the leader fought to the death. She is in the Xiantian realm, so this nonsense is more reasonable."
Lu Bei clasped his hands together and exclaimed, "One word can wake a person up from a dream. Big brother really has a light in his crotch."
"certainly?"
"wise!"
Lu Bei was quite annoyed and said, "It's my fault for being greedy and reckless. I just wanted to get promoted soon. I wanted to imitate my elder brother who returned home in glory and did some happy things like bullying men and women. I even forgot the huge difference in our realms."
"Well, there's still time to change the report."
Fox Three held out his hand unhappily: "Brother, I can help you write off some of your things, but I absolutely cannot. Hand over the thief's hand. When I see that there is no Qiankun Ring, I know it was you who did it."
"Brother, you really misunderstood me. The secret realm collapsed at that time and the scene was in chaos. It was already very difficult for me to capture the thief leader. Where can I find the Qiankun Ring for you?"
"The ring may contain the poison refining technique of the Snake Dragon Cult, which uses illusions to control 200,000 people in Langwu County. Even the innate realm of the Huangji Sect is deeply involved in it. To put it simply, it is a strange poison. To put it more broadly, it is a dragon-slaying technique."
Hu San raised his hand and touched Lu Bei: "Second brother, it's the same as Zhao Xiayang's Qiankun Ring. Take it out quickly, and you will get the benefits."
"Brother, I feel relieved after hearing what you said. To be honest, I am almost a congenital one."
"Heh, you said you didn't get anything good in the secret realm, now you're exposed."
"Brother, put another lamp in your crotch, no, light a torch, I admire you!"
"… "
