Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 598 Anle Hou 17
The body of the top scholar is not in Kaifeng Prefecture, but in Zhuangyuan Mansion.

Zhan Zhao accompanied Liu Shu to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to examine the body.

The two men used their Qinggong skills to walk in a straight line across the roof.

The Zhuangyuan Mansion was not far from Kaifeng Prefecture. The two men quickly arrived at the Zhuangyuan Mansion and saw the corpse.

Liu Shu gathered his spiritual power into his eyes and scanned the corpse from head to toe, his sight finally falling on the wound on the top scholar's neck.

Zhan Zhao asked: "Did you see anything?"

Liu Shu nodded: "Demonic energy. There is residual demonic energy on the dead body, and the wounds have the most demonic energy."

Zhan Zhao: "Demonic energy?"

Liu Shu: "There are demons who practice magic and absorb human essence to increase their power. This demon must be a high-level demon, and the targets of their absorption are not ordinary people, but the powerful and officials."

Zhan Zhao was shocked: "Then all the officials in the court are dangerous."

Liu Shu: "The most dangerous one is Mr. Bao. Mr. Bao is the incarnation of Wenquxing, and his spirit and energy are stronger than those of ordinary officials. If the demon absorbs Mr. Bao's spirit, I'm afraid it will become a demon king."

Zhan Zhao pulled Liu Shu and ran back.

"Let's go back quickly."

Fortunately, the two men returned in time and blocked the sudden attack from Kaifeng Prefecture.

It turned out that shortly after Zhan Zhao and Liu Shu left, two paper figures suddenly broke into Kaifeng Prefecture.

The yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture couldn't stop them at all.

Not only are these two paper figures extremely powerful, they will not die even if they are hit by swords.

The yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture were unable to deal with the paper figures and were injured one after another.

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao and Ma Han could barely protect Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun and Minister Jin and his daughter.

The carp spirit Xiaolian protected Zhang Zhen.

Although she was a fairy, she couldn't do anything to the two paper figures.

The evil energy from the two paper figures had a suppressing effect on her, a demon.

One of the paper figures broke through the defense, rushed in front of Minister Jin, and was about to attack him.

In desperation, Minister Jin pushed his daughter in front of him to block the paper man.

Jin Mudan widened her eyes in disbelief and tears flowed out.

Just when Jin Mudan was about to die at the hands of the paper man, a sword stopped the paper man.

It turned out that it was Zhan Zhao and Liu Shu who rushed back.

Zhan Zhao is a martial arts expert and he was able to defeat a paper man.

Liu Shu used his spiritual power to get rid of another paper man.

The crisis in Kaifeng Prefecture was resolved.

Mr. Gongsun asked the uninjured yamen runners to move the injured to a room, and he went to treat their injuries.

Although Mr. Bao was frightened, he could not rest because the case was not solved, and he continued to try the case in court.

Liu Shuai shared his findings.

"Demon?" The carp spirit Xiaolian shouted, "I've heard of a demon who cultivates by sucking human blood. I heard that she wants to unify the demon world and become the supreme ruler of the demon world."

Mr. Bao asked, "Miss Xiaolian, do you know what kind of monster that is?"

Xiaolian: "I don't know her true identity, I only know her name is Styx Grandma."

Now things become clear.

The top scholar was not killed by anyone, but by a demon.

Zhang Zhen was innocent and was released by Bao Gong in court.

But Zhang Zhen has nowhere to go now. Lord Bao has tested his talent and found that he has good knowledge. If he takes part in the imperial examination, he will be able to get on the list.

Mr. Bao loved talents and kept Zhang Zhen in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Xiaolian had never harmed anyone. Although she turned into Jin Mudan and affected Jin Mudan's reputation, she had not committed any crime. Mr. Bao did not imprison her and let the little monster go.

As a result, the carp spirit changed back to its original appearance and came to find Zhang Zhen again. The carp spirit's original appearance was no worse than Jin Mudan's, and was even more beautiful.

Coupled with her affection for Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen naturally accepted the carp spirit.

The engagement between Zhang Zhen and Jin Mudan was called off as neither party wanted to continue.

On that day, when Minister Jin came out of Kaifeng Prefecture, he exchanged the engagement jade pendant with Zhang Zhen.

Minister Jin brought Jin Mudan back to his mansion with mixed feelings.

He didn't take the incident of pushing his daughter out to block the knife to heart, but Jin Mudan remembered it deeply.

Jin Mudan began to feel alienated from her biological father.

After saying goodbye, Liu Shu returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The sky was already turning pale.

Liu Shu sat by the window and practiced his skills, absorbing the first purple light when the sun rose, and then ended his practice.

After breakfast, Liu Shu returned to his room to rest.

It was not until 3 p.m. that Liu Shu woke up and ate the lunch brought to him by the servants.

The gossipy servant stood below and told Liu Shu what happened in the capital today.

The news of the number one scholar's murder had spread, and at the same time, the news of the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion having a secret rendezvous with a man in the middle of the night had also spread.

Although the people in the Jin family swore that it was not their daughter, no one believed it.

Jin Mudan's reputation has been greatly affected, and she is afraid that she will not be able to find a good family in the future.

Liu Shu felt quite sympathetic towards this girl.

But sympathy aside, Liu Shu will not sacrifice himself to marry Jin Mudan.

Liu Shu spent the entire afternoon practicing.

No one from Kaifeng Prefecture came to look for Liu Shu again.

The next day, someone else died.

The one who died this time was Minister Jin!
I don’t know what happened. In the original plot, Jin Chong, who was supposed to live to the end, give his life-saving pearl to Zhan Zhao, and was posthumously named one of the Three Dukes by the emperor, died so early.

He also died because all his blood and energy were sucked out.

Jin Mudan was extremely sad. Although she was disappointed with her father, she had never thought that Minister Jin would die.

This girl was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She supported the Jin family on her own and handled the funeral affairs of Minister Jin.

Her strength was noticed by many people, and many people changed their impression of this girl.

The death of an important minister is bound to alarm the emperor.

Zhao Zhen had just recovered when he received this bad news. Under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, he asked Bao Gong to solve the case within seven days.

Well, this person with ulterior motives is not Master Pang.

But even without Master Pang, there are still others.

The emperor's intention is always to keep all his ministers under his control.

Mr. Bao had no choice but to ask Zhan Zhao to invite Liu Shu again.

After all, Liu Shu is not only powerful, but also able to detect demonic energy. Mr. Bao wants to ask Liu Shu to help find clues about Grandma Minghe.

You said the clue was so big and so conspicuous there?

paper man?

There are many paper-making shops in Bianliang City. How much time would it take to go to each one of them?
After receiving the request, Liu Shu felt obliged to take Zhan Zhao out.

The two of them were also going to a paper-making shop.

However, there is no need to enter the paper-making shop. Liu Shu can just take a look outside to see if there is any demonic energy, and he will know whether it is the base camp of Grandma Styx.

Liu Shu created a pair of glasses that stored spiritual energy.

He gave the glasses to Zhan Zhao. When Zhan Zhao wore the glasses, he could see evil spirits and demons, as well as many things that ordinary people could not see.

Zhan Zhao was surprised: "This thing called glasses is really useful."
