Chapter 67: The People From Yunying City

After seeing that the other party did not have a hidden poison sac, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

This opponent was a Magic Faction warrior in the qi realm; he was definitely a major character in his organization.

Catching him alive would allow Xu Ning to dig out more secrets of the whole situation.

However, Xu Ning also realized that there was a secret force behind the recent emergence of local Magic Faction warriors, and the Black Armored Guards were still completely oblivious to this force.

‘I’ll have to take him in first…’

Xu Ning saw that the assassin was still in a dizzy state, but out of safety, Xu Ning punched him twice in the chest and abdomen.

Due to Xu Ning’s heavy force, the assassin fainted from the sharp pain.

‘This assassin’s physical strength and force are inferior to an ordinary qi realm martial artist. I wonder if it’s because of his magic technique…’

Practicing a magic technique would allow one to progress rapidly, but because of this, it would also cause one’s foundation to be relatively weak. Such practitioners would be at a disadvantage when facing an opponent in the same realm.

Xu Ning threw the assassin off the roof and jumped down. He then dragged the assassin by the collar towards Caishikou Execution Grounds.

“Master!”

After seeing Xu Ning return, Song Weiyi hurriedly walked forward out of the crowd.

Xu Ning’s sudden violent pursuit had shocked all of them.

When they realized what had happened, Xu Ning had already disappeared.

“Cuff this man, bring him back to the guard station, and lock him up together with Nie Xiaowei.”

Xu Ning threw the assassin aside.

“Qingping, go and report the existence of the Magic Faction assassin to the higher ups.”

Xu Ning said to Tao Qingping.

As this mess involved a qi realm Magic Faction warrior, it was necessary to report this to the higher ups as soon as possible.

“Understood.”

After Tao Qingping received the order, he began to act quickly.

The residents who surrounded the place hadn’t left yet.

They came here to watch a beheading, but instead witnessed a Magic Faction warrior turning herself in and a scene of a Black Armored Guards Lieutenant chasing an assassin, which was much more exciting than they had initially anticipated.

The residents of Kangyun County had been well protected by the Black Armored Guards over the years, so they didn’t understand the significance of Magic Factions.

Moreover, when they saw Xu Ning easily capturing an assassin, they felt that they were protected by powerful armed forces, which meant in their minds that everyone’s safety was guaranteed.

…

On the other side,

In the Black Armored Guards Commander Room.

The three captains namely Captain Ning Fengwen, Captain Xia Yuanxing, and Captain Qu Dayou were seated in front of Wei Changqing.

An hour ago, another local Magic Faction warrior was exposed.

He was a vendor, and as he confronted people on the street, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and killed people.

Because his strength was low, a team of guards who were patrolling nearby was able to capture him immediately.

This Magic Faction warrior had been imprisoned and was currently undergoing interrogation proceedings.

“Everyone, I think the seriousness of this matter is obvious…”

Wei Changqing looked at the three of them. “This is the third Magic Faction warrior we’ve captured.”

“It is certainly not a coincidence that three ordinary citizens have mastered magic techniques. There must be a Magic Faction behind them. We don’t even know their scale and motives.”

“Master, we are already investigating the first Magic Faction warrior.”

Xia Yuanxing continued, “During the investigation, there has been some progress. The suspects involved have been captured and interrogated.”

“In other words, there are no actual results yet?”

Wei Changqing frowned.

Xia Yuanxing didn’t respond.

Ning Fengwen and Qu Dayou were on the sidelines, not knowing what to say.

There was a Magic Faction hidden in Kangyun County, but they didn’t know anything about it at all. As captains, they were in a tough position.

The room suddenly went silent.

All of a sudden, the door knocked.

A guard dressed in black armor walked in.

“What’s going on?”

Wei Changqing rubbed his forehead.

“Commander, Captains, there is news from Maple Lane that the Maple Lane murderer has been caught. The murderer is indeed a Magic Faction warrior, and is now in captivity.”

The guard said.

“Caught them in less than a day, pretty fast.”

Wei Changqing did not have a huge reaction.

“Furthermore, Xu Ning, Lieutenant of Maple Lane, captured a qi realm Magic Faction warrior.”

The guard added.

The four people instantly stared at the guard.

“A qi realm Magic Faction warrior, is that right?”

Qu Dayou quickly confirmed.

The other three were also staring at the guard.

If they caught a Magic Faction warrior of this realm, then they would be able to find out many things behind the scenes.

“That’s right, he was captured alive.”

The guard quickly responded.

“Good!”

A smile finally appeared on Wei Changqing’s face.

This qi realm Magic Faction warrior that Xu Ning had captured was a big breakthrough.

“Where is that person being held now?”

Wei Changqing continued to ask.

“He’s locked up at the Maple Lane Guard Station.”

The guard answered quickly.

“Qu Dayou.” Wei Changqing looked at Qu Dayou on the side. “You are the best torture master in the Black Armored Guards, so this person will be handed over to you.”

“Yes, Master Commander.”

Qu Dayou quickly got up and made a promise. “No matter what secrets this person has, I will definitely be able to pry open his mouth and find out everything he knows.”

Wei Changqing nodded, then said, “Xu Ning is a capable man!”

When Qu Dayou heard this, he had a satisfied expression on his face.

Xu Ning was his most valuable subordinate. Wei Changqing complimenting Xu Ning was also an indirect compliment to Qu Dayou.

“Xu Ning is the one from the Tao Village, right?”

After seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, Xia Yuanxing asked.

“He is from the Tao Village, that’s right. You were his examiner.”

Qu Dayou responded.

Xia Yuanxing shook his head and sighed. “Unfortunate… I already thought that he was special when he was selected. If I had known that he had such great talent for cultivation, and was this reliable, I would have asked him to come to Camp Site Two.”

Ning Fengwen smiled when he heard this.

Although he hadn’t met Xu Ning before, he had heard of him.

In any case, Xu Ning was now a name that was respected among the Black Armored Guards Captains.

“Master, I’ll go to the Maple Lane Guard Station.”

Qu Dayou wanted to get to work.

He did not want to wait around any longer.

“Go ahead.”

Wei Changqing waved his hand, and Qu Dayou turned around and left.

“You guys should go back to work, continue to step up the investigations.”

Wei Changqing said to Xia Yuanxing and Ning Fengwen, “And capture anyone that is a suspect.”

“Yes!”

Xia Yuanxing and Ning Fengwen also got up and left.

Only Wei Changqing and the guard were left in the room.

“Why are you still here?”

Wei Changqing looked at the guard.

The guard quickly said, “There is one more thing I haven’t reported yet…”

Wei Changqing raised his eyebrows, his tone dissatisfied. “The Captains were here just now, so why didn’t you report it then?”

“Master, this matter has nothing to do with the Magic Faction…”

The guard quickly explained, “A two people came to the gates just now, a man and a woman, and they said they would like to see you.”

“See me?”

Wei Changqing asked, “Who are they?”

“They said they came from Yunying City.”

The guard replied.

‘Yunying City?’

After thinking about it, Wei Changqing said, “Let them in.”

“Yes.”

The guard left to escort the visitors.

Wei Changqing waited in the room.

He was curious who would come from Yunying City to visit him.

“Uncle!”

The guards brought the visitors over.

A man and a woman walked over with a smile.

The two of them looked related, and both of them were in their late teens.

Judging by their appearance and energy, they were obviously noble-born.

“Why are you guys here?”

After seeing the two, Wei Changqing was taken aback at first, before he immediately smiled and quickly greeted them.
