The surge of ambition in his heart appeared for only a fleeting moment before completely vanishing into thin air.
Chen Ping'an quickly walked up to Mai Xiongbo and began to search him.
Mai Xiongbo didn't have many items on him, only some scattered silver and banknotes, and a few black cloth bags. Inside the black cloth bags, Chen Ping'an merely glanced, seeing only bottles and jars, which seemed to be the so-called mixed poisons.
For a Protector of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's chapel, Mai Xiongbo was quite poor!
All his skills were in his bare hands; he didn't even carry a personal weapon.
The banknotes he carried amounted to less than a thousand taels, which was certainly wealthy for an ordinary person. But for a master of this level, it could only be considered meager.
Chen Ping'an felt a bit unwilling.
How could he have taken such a significant risk for so little gain?
Chen Ping'an knelt down and meticulously examined Mai Xiongbo's body. Since Mai Xiongbo's body was split and bloody, Chen Ping'an searched with extreme caution.
Hm?
Upon searching, Chen Ping'an indeed discovered something unusual.
In fact, if Mai Xiongbo's body hadn't been split, he truly wouldn't have found it. The skin on the back of Mai Xiongbo's neck looked somewhat unnatural due to the gap.
Rip!
Chen Ping'an pulled hard.
An entire piece of Mai Xiongbo's skin was torn off by him.
Chen Ping'an's expression tightened; he saw something extremely familiar.
“This is...”
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ping'an wiped it clean and quickly put it away.
After carefully checking once and finding no omissions, Chen Ping'an took out a flint from his Pregnant and struck them together, sparks flying and landing on Mai Xiongbo's body.
With Internal Energy assistance, the fire gradually intensified!
After confirming the fire was sufficient, Chen Ping'an walked towards the distance. Mu Wanjun was still lying there.
At this moment, Mu Wanjun lay on the ground, her legs round and straight, her eyes tightly closed, with a look of pain on her face.
Chen Ping'an knelt down, grasped Mu Wanjun's wrist with one hand, and with Internal Energy surging, sensed her condition.
Mu Wanjun's condition was not particularly ideal.
On one hand, it was due to the injury on her shoulder, and on the other hand, it was the forbidden backlash, which caused her Internal Energy to be chaotic and rampage uncontrollably.
Just now, in her haste to escape, Mu Wanjun's shoulder injury hadn't been treated in time, only simply stopped with Internal Energy. Now, there was a tendency for bleeding.
Rip!
Chen Ping'an tore off the clothing on Mu Wanjun's shoulder, revealing a large area of flesh and blood.
The wound on Mu Wanjun's body was too large; it wasn't enough!
Rip!
Chen Ping'an pulled again, almost tearing off half of her clothes.
The beauty of her chest was slightly exposed, like fair and crimson.
Given the urgency, Chen Ping'an didn't look much and immediately began to treat Mu Wanjun's injuries.
Mu Wanjun's injuries were not complicated, mainly large-area fractures.
If an ordinary person were to suffer such injuries, their arm would probably never be able to be lifted again for the rest of their life. But Mu Wanjun, after all, was an Internal Energy master, with a strong physique and abundant vitality. If she nurtured it with Internal Energy later, supplemented by healing secret medicines, she should be able to recover smoothly.
“Done!”
After simply treating Mu Wanjun's injuries, Chen Ping'an took off his outer coat and wrapped her tightly.
He stood up and looked to the other side. At this time, the aftermath of Mai Xiongbo had basically been dealt with.
Chen Ping'an walked forward and performed some more detailed processing.
If Mai Xiongbo's corpse was burned directly like this, there would still be many suspicious points when investigated later. But any suspicious points were better than direct flaws.
Others might at most be suspicious, but they would never have concrete evidence.
Moreover, with the Martial Dao Realm he displayed, ordinary people would never associate it with him.
Even the most meticulous person, before ruling out other options, would not pay too much attention to him.
Even if they suspected him, it wouldn't be a big problem!
After all, it was just a Devil from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, not a Squad Leader from the Zhenfu Division!
If he killed him, then he killed him!
By the time the truth was revealed, his Realm would have reached who knows what level!
Chen Ping'an picked up Mu Wanjun by the waist and rushed towards the alley. Mu Wanjun's injuries needed to be treated as soon as possible. At the very least, her chaotic Internal Energy needed to be smoothed out.
Just as Chen Ping'an carried Mu Wanjun around a corner, he saw a man in fish-scale armor, holding a saber, rushing towards them.
Hm?
Seeing the approaching person, Chen Ping'an was slightly stunned.
Fu Yuanming!
It wasn't just Chen Ping'an who was stunned, but also Fu Yuanming.
The Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect caused chaos, leading to extreme disorder in Nancheng District. As the Deputy Total Affairs Office of the Nancheng Suppression Office, he naturally had to step forward at this time. He first led people to deal with a fire, and then even exchanged blows with the Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. He pursued them all the way here.
Unexpectedly, he didn't see the Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, but instead saw Chen Ping'an!
Hmm... this is...
Chief Warrant Officer Mu Wanjun?
At this moment, Fu Yuanming finally saw the woman Chen Ping'an was holding in his arms.
She was injured? And so seriously!
Fu Yuanming's heart suddenly thumped.
In terms of Martial Dao Realm, Mu Wanjun was slightly higher than him. If even Mu Wanjun suffered such serious injuries, didn't that mean there was a master from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect nearby!
Fu Yuanming cautiously observed his surroundings, but found no trace of the Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. He looked at the two of them, and an inappropriate thought actually arose in his mind.
“Chen Ping'an, why are you here?”
Fu Yuanming questioned.
“Lord Mu fought bravely against the Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and is now exhausted. She needs immediate medical attention!”
Chen Ping'an held Mu Wanjun, his steps never stopping.
The distance between them grew shorter and shorter, and Fu Yuanming also clearly saw Mu Wanjun's tightly closed eyes and bloodless face.
That thought amplified!
“Hurry along!”
Fu Yuanming held his saber, looking worried.
“I'm still pursuing Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, so I won't accompany you!”
“Understood.”
Chen Ping'an replied.
Fu Yuanming quickly passed Chen Ping'an and the other. At the very moment they crossed paths, a fierce expression instantly appeared on Fu Yuanming's face.
“Die!”
Fu Yuanming spun around and delivered a turning horse return saber strike.
The saber gleamed with a chilling light, carrying a murderous intent, and slashed towards Chen Ping'an's back.
This saber strike was clean, swift, and incredibly fast.
Under the surprise attack, even someone in the same Internal Qi Realm would likely suffer a great loss, let alone Chen Ping'an, who had not yet entered the Internal Qi Realm.
With a single saber strike, Fu Yuanming had already considered Chen Ping'an a dead man.
His struggle with Mu Wanjun was not a matter of a day or two. Their resentment had long reached its peak. Every time he suffered a loss, he wished he could kill Mu Wanjun directly, but being within the Zhenfu Division system, some matters could only be contested openly.
Even in a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Mu Wanjun. But who would have thought...
Today, he actually encountered such a good opportunity.
Besides Mu Wanjun, he also gained a Chen Ping'an for free.
This Chen Ping'an had repeatedly ruined his good deeds. His current encounter was his fate!
The most wonderful thing was that if he acted today, killed both of them, and handled the traces, he could completely blame it on the Devils from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect afterward.
Today, the timing and location were all on his side!
Die!
Fu Yuanming's face was grim and fierce, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.
If Mu Wanjun were to die, the position of Chief Warrant Officer of the Nancheng Suppression Office would undoubtedly be his!
