Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  Two young masters of the collateral branch of a noble family were killed, along with two attendant warriors. This was not a major incident, but it was not minor either. Since there were no leads, after finding the remains of Wang Duo and Wang Jinbao, both families simply held a sorrowful funeral and then sternly urged local authorities to investigate the perpetrators, and that's where the matter ended.

  Apart from Wang Duocai and Wang Jinbao's families, the one who is most entangled in this matter is Wang Bo. After all, it was he who arranged for Wang Duocai to handle this errand, but it is not known how it was handled, as the person died on his way back.

  Wang Bo was about to wait for the weather to improve, and then he would personally go to Guozhen Town. However, he received explosive news from Wang Jianglong that in the days before the discovery of the remains of Wang Jinbao and others, Wang Shubao and Wang Zhimin saw Wu Dinglu, a martial artist from Guozhen Town, resting his horse in Zhutan Town.

  Perhaps the more intelligent a person is, the better they are at associating ideas. Wang Bo, who had always been impressed by Lu's unwavering gaze and character, couldn't help but feel that he was indeed a remarkable individual.

  It just so happened that Wu Yaozi was very interested in Lu Buqi, and thought that if Lu Buqi were to be brought to Yangze, he would take the initiative to take charge of things, and would certainly make Lu Buqi feel grateful and become a loyal and devoted servant. And thus, he orchestrated what followed.

  Originally, Wang Weiwu's intention was to send a messenger with an order to Wang Yingfu, asking him to bring Lu Buqi to Yangze for a face-to-face confrontation. After all, although Lu Buqi is a Ze slave, he is now a local recommended Wu Ding, and killing him casually would chill people's hearts.

  However, Wang Fukang and Wang Rongguang, two middle-aged men who had lost their sons, were instigated by Wang Jianglong to take chicken feathers as tokens of authority and directly arranged for two top-notch experts to go to Guozhai Town, inform Wang Yingfu and capture Lu Buqi in Yangze.

  When two warriors wearing blue brocade uniforms with the waist card of the imperial inner city elite appeared at the Grand Governor's Mansion, Wang Yingfu, as a local governor, could not put on any airs and treated the two men named Wang Yuanfeng and Wang Haiyang as honored guests.

  The elite martial artist of the Wang family's inner fortress, with a cultivation base of at least eight layers of Bone Resonance. A martial artist of this level is not someone who can be easily ordered around by just anyone. It can be seen that as one of the seven main managers of the inner fortress, Wang Fugang still has some ability.

  The servant poured a cup of fine tea for them. Wang Yingfu smiled warmly: "What brings you two to my Guazhen town?"

  Wang Yuanfeng, with piercing eyes like an eagle, replied: "Officer, we two didn't come here to sightsee, but were ordered to capture someone!"

  Wang Yingfeng's smile froze for a moment: "Take someone? What kind of person would require the trouble of having two elite warriors from Neibao come out?"

  Another warrior with a slightly gentler appearance, Wang Haiyang, put down his tea and asked: "Is there a candidate named Lu Buqi in your town?"

  With a slight cough, Wang Yingfu's eyebrows rose, and his voice became louder: "Not abandoned, is there such a person? Are you going to take him away? What crime did he commit?"

  Lao Bu, who was waiting outside the door, heard Wang Yingfu's deliberately raised voice and coughing sound, and his heart tightened immediately. He quickly sent someone out to inform Lu Buqi.

  "He is suspected of killing Wang Duo Cai and Wang Jin Bao, two young masters, along with their attendants!" Wang Yuan Feng said coldly: "The master of the house is furious about this matter, and has ordered us to take him to Yang Ze for trial."

  "Ah! How is this possible?" Wang Yingfu was shocked and lost his color: "Both Duo Cai and Jin Bao were fine when they left my Guo Tuan Town last year... My old steward even sent a good horse-drawn carriage to them!"

  Wang Haiyang shook his head: "But on their way back to Yangze, they died... By the time the bodies were found, they had been disfigured beyond recognition and all their valuables had been looted."

  "That must be the work of the bandits on the mountain pass!" Wang Yingfu furrowed his brow: "Don't wrong that kid, he wouldn't do something like this for a bit of money. Remember how Sixth Master gave him 1,000 knives as a reward before? He only took 100 knives."

  "Perhaps that's just a pretentious attitude." Wang Yuanfeng hummed softly: "Officer, this kind of tracing back to the source is not our business, we only take care of catching people. Please, Officer, make an exception and let my two brothers complete their task!"

  Wang Haiyang also stood up: "Yes, sir, the matter is urgent, let's catch the person first and then come back to drink tea!"

  Wang Yingfu heard this and stood up: "Then I'll take you there, he usually stays in the blacksmith's shop in the south of the city. However, this kid is straightforward by nature, and now it's just a suspicion stage, so please be gentle with your approach, lest unnecessary misunderstandings arise."

  Zheng He and Wang Lishou were studying the improvement of blood vessels, when they learned that Yang Ze had come to capture him, his sword eyebrows jumped involuntarily, thinking where did he reveal his foot?

  Wang Lishou was also shocked: "Nangong, hurry up and run! When others come, I'll say I don't know where you went!"

  "Run? Why run?" Lu Buqi was still quite calm: "They can't have any conclusive evidence."

  "Are you stupid? They're going to catch you, once they get to Yangze, who cares about evidence?" Wang Lishou dropped the things in his hand and pushed Lu Boyi out: "Hurry up, the big boss can't withstand the pressure for long, people will be coming soon, if not, we won't be able to leave!"

  Lu Buji's heart skipped a beat. This wasn't his past life, although there were family rules and national laws. But once he arrived at Yangze, his fate was no longer in his own hands: "But... where can I run to?"

  At this time, the house servant in charge of ventilation and reporting outside the ironwork shop suddenly shrank back: "Hurry up, someone has come out of the housekeeper's mansion, they will be here soon!"

  "Can't take care of so many things now, you hide first and talk later, meet at the north suburb wilderness where we used to dry animal hides tonight!" At this critical moment, Wang Lishou's quality as an old rivers and lakes was revealed.

  Lu Buqi nodded and ran up to the attic. Wang Lishou thought Lu Buqi was going to pack his things, and he shouted urgently: "Oh my god, this little miser, what's wrong with you? At a time like this, what are you going to get?"

  "I went out from the attic..." Lu Buqi didn't need to take anything, he had his Fish Intestine Sword and that set of three-edged prongs with him, having these two things in hand was enough.

  Lu Buqi slipped out of the attic and left quietly, while Wang Yuanfeng and Wang Haiyang arrived at the blacksmith's shop, asking around but nobody knew anything. The two men who had been fooled looked at each other with very unfriendly gazes, including Wang Yingfu. Wang Haiyang couldn't help but say sarcastically, "This kid, could he have escaped as if he had prior knowledge?"

  Wang Yingfu also responded casually: "Why don't we bring two more people to the place where he usually practices alone and take a look?"

  Wang Yuanfeng coldly snorted: "First go take a look at his residence!"

  Lu Buqi's residence, Wang Lishou naturally had no reason to conceal it. Under the accompaniment of Wang Niansheng and Wang Yingfu, Wang Yuanfeng and Wang Haiyang carefully searched Lu Buqi's belongings.

  Four cores of Heart and over ten thousand knives in savings undoubtedly made Wang Yuanfeng and Wang Haiyang secretly gasp: "This little slave is just a Ze Nuo, where did he get so much money? I think it's probably looted, now he's probably gotten wind of it and fled in fear of punishment!"

  "Don't be so quick to judge!" Wang Yingfu replied calmly, "Moreover, the money he made was all earned through normal means, and I and Jiang Longguan of Zhutan Town can vouch for that, because it was the two of us who rewarded him."

  Wang Leshou also said beside him: "If you escape in fear of punishment, at least these riches will still be taken along, right?"

  Wang Yuanfeng wanted to say something, but Wang Haiyang stopped him and said: "In that case, the two of us will wait here for a day. If he doesn't come to find us on his own initiative, we'll assume he's fleeing in fear and returning to report..."

  After a pause, Wang Haiyang picked up the small package: "As for his money, we will also temporarily seize it. When he comes back, we will naturally return it to him."

  Wang Lishou couldn't help but burst into flames, but Wang Yingfu patted him on the back and said, "Lishou, you heard that clearly. I'll take these two to settle down first. If you see someone who's not a waste, let them come find us!"

  Wang Leshou gritted his teeth secretly, but nodded heavily: "Yes, sir."
