Chapter 1000: Chapter 126 Anger Transfer_2

Other neighbors who witnessed the incident also came out and were questioned separately. The information they provided largely concurred with what Zhao Yu had said.

This indirectly dispelled the law enforcement team’s suspicions about Zhao Yu.

Seeing that the threat was resolved, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to ask, “Enforcement Officer, may I know what crimes this couple has committed?”

“Hmph!”

Someone snorted coldly, not only addressing Zhao Yu but also everyone living in the area: “This couple from Huang Songyu, they killed a grandson of an inner sect elder and have now fled due to their guilt. If any of you know where they are hiding, you are encouraged to report them. There will be benefits for you…”

After finishing, the law enforcement personnel quickly withdrew.

After they left, Zhao Yu noticed that the neighboring residence of the Huang Songyu couple had been completely demolished, leaving nothing behind.

Everything, even down to every brick and tile, had been thoroughly dismantled, leaving only a large hole in its place.

They killed the grandson of an inner sect elder…

A sense of foreboding filled Zhao Yu’s heart. He suddenly remembered the Qingxin Pills that Huang Songyu had sold to him at a price fifty percent below the market rate.

Could these Qingxin Pills belong to that inner sect elder’s grandson?

If that were the case, it would be troublesome…

With a hint of anxiety, Zhao Yu spent his days not only studying alchemy but also going out to gather information about the Huang couple.

The death of an inner sect elder’s grandson wasn’t a minor issue in Shushan, especially in their Mount Wangxian, it was considered a major event.

The law enforcement team searched through all the known activities of the Huang Songyu couple, and almost everyone was talking about the incident.

Hearing that the law enforcement team’s investigation included checking the items in the inner sect elder’s grandson’s storage bag, Zhao Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the progress in investigating the contents of the storage bag was slow, which prevented them from finding anything related to him.

During that month, Liu Wenxuan finally emerged from her seclusion.

Using the Qingxin Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills, she successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, before they could celebrate, the law enforcement officers came knocking again.

“Liu Wenxuan, you’re thirty-one years old this year, aren’t you?”

“At your age, how did you manage to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

As soon as the law enforcement personnel arrived, they went straight to the point with their pressing questions.

Zhao Yu, always concerned about the Huang Songyu incident, had immediately shared the details with Liu Wenxuan when she emerged so that she wouldn’t speak out of turn.

“Reporting back, sir, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage with the aid of a Foundation Establishment Pill…”

Liu Wenxuan recounted how, after turning thirty, she was so nervous that she decided to take a risk and use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through, not expecting it to actually succeed.

However, the law enforcement officers didn’t buy this story. One of them sneered, “Perhaps others might take such a risk, but you…”

“According to your former companion, for the past ten years, you have been making talismans to earn Spirit Stones and living in the Ninth District of Jiuliu Fang where your body has been depleted. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for you to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage…”

“Unless, you had the help of Qingxin Pills…”

Liu Wenxuan’s heartbeat slightly quickened, but she still firmly denied ever using Qingxin Pills.

“Let me tell you the truth, we’ve had an alchemist investigate the inn where you were secluded and found evidence of Qingxin Pill consumption…”

That’s not right!

Zhao Yu, also an alchemist, knew this was almost impossible, clearly seeing that the law enforcement officers were trying to deceive Liu Wenxuan.

Just as he was about to warn her, a massive pressure suddenly overwhelmed them.

The leader of the law enforcement team, evidently at the Golden Core Stage, used his aura to prevent Zhao Yu from speaking or even moving.

Ultimately, Liu Wenxuan couldn’t withstand the pressure and knelt down, “Sir, forgive me, this was all my doing. It has nothing to do with Zhao Yu…”

Zhao Yu sighed in his heart, understanding that Liu Wenxuan had never faced such a situation before and was easily deceived.

Yet he also understood that by doing so, she was trying to protect him.

As the pressure from the law enforcement leader dissipated, Zhao Yu spoke up, “Sir, she has nothing to do with this. The matter of the Qingxin Pills was indeed hidden by me, and I taught her to do so…”

“Zhao Yu…” Liu Wenxuan was anxious, but before she could continue, the law enforcement leader immediately imposed his pressure, stopping her.

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and then disclosed his dealings with Huang Songyu.

Fearing that the law enforcement personnel would not believe him, he specifically told them about their income from selling talismans, magical artifacts, and medicinal pills during this period.

The law enforcement leader confiscated both their storage bags and after inspection, sent someone to the market to inquire. Soon they arrived at a conclusion.

“Talismans, magical artifacts, and pills, you have great talent indeed!”

The law enforcement leader looked at Zhao Yu with some surprise, “The records show you’re only twenty-two years old, right?”

“A twenty-two-year-old at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and also a talisman master, artifact refiner, and alchemist!”

This talent truly surprised everyone present.

If not for the incident involving the Huangs, Zhao Yu might have continued to hide his abilities.

“It’s a pity, since the Zhou family is involved, and that couple is notorious for holding grudges, it might be difficult to settle this peacefully…”

The law enforcement leader’s attitude towards Zhao Yu improved significantly after learning about his age and his three cultivation skills, his tone even conveying a hint of regret.

“Regardless, you two should come with us…”
