“But why do I feel that that person might not die?” As she said this, the Emissary raised her head, revealing her smooth chin under the cloak.
“That’s impossible.” This time, not only the subordinate from before, but the others also denied it one after another. Judging from the voices, there were actually all women in this team of Martial Supervisors and not a single man. “Oh? Then who can tell me the cause of Xu Ran’s death?” The Emissary pointed at the corpse that had already been restrained and asked. Xu Ran was the Martial Supervisor who had been killed by Chu Qing.
“This?” The group of subordinates stammered and couldn’t answer because Xu Ran’s vitality had been completely extinguished. In their understanding, there was no such technique that could cause such an injury.
“Don’t jump to conclusions if you haven’t verified it with your own hands,” she lectured coldly with her hands behind her back.
The group of subordinates all answered yes. One of them led the Emissary to the drop of dried blood that they had found. As they had discovered it too late, the blood that had lost its biological characteristics could no longer be investigated by a criminal investigation.
The Emissary squatted down in front of the drop of blood and reached out her fair fingers to touch the blood. Then, she retracted her hand and rubbed it. She put it under her nose and sniffed it. She nodded and said, “It does have some components of the Oblivion Stream. A person who was poisoned by the Oblivion Stream did not die on the spot and only bled a drop of blood. This matter is getting more and more interesting. Moreover, looking at the method of killing, it doesn’t seem to be ancient martial arts. Instead, it looks like a Tao technique cultivated by a sect. Could it be that the murderer is a man?”
Hearing the Emissary muttering to herself, the assistant beside her asked indistinctly, “Madam, what did you say?”
“Nothing.” The Emissary stood up and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
“Then what should we do now?” Other than this drop of blood, there was nothing else. The assistant, Xiao Yu, asked her mistress.
“Of course, we’ll continue to investigate. I have a feeling that that person hasn’t left Jinmen. Let’s get someone to check all the major hospitals first, then check the drug flow in the black market. Also, send someone to check the specific situation of the World Treasures Auction House that night…” The Emissary gave a series of missions.
By the time she finished speaking, everyone around her had been deployed, leaving only her and Xiao Yu.
“Are we going back to the hotel?” Xiao Yu looked up and asked the Emissary.
“Yes, we’ll go shopping tomorrow. I heard that the fiance arranged by my family is in Jinmen. I’m free to go and take a look. He’s the son of the sixth daughter of the Chu family. I heard that he’s quite good-looking,” said the Emissary with great interest.
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.” Xiao Yu accepted the order and left.
After a night of refinement, Chu Qing’s efforts paid off. He finally refined the Tao metal completely and absorbed it into his body. Even his cultivation level broke through to the Core Formation realm.
Chu Qing woke up in the morning and stretched. He was in good spirits. With a wave of his hand, the rusty sword appeared again. Unlike before, there was an additional dark-green bronze scabbard today.
The Tao runes of the rusty sword no longer dissipated. Chu Qing could be considered to have a load off his mind. Moreover, with the nourishment of this Tao metal, the originally dissipated Tao runes were slowly repaired. He believed that in time, not only could this sword recover its original appearance, but it could even take another step forward.
With a thought, the sword in his hand changed again, and the rusty sword disappeared. The scabbard turned into a ferocious bronze mask. Chu Qing wore it on his face and was very satisfied..
