When Shan Bo arrived, he saw Fu Hongye's body lying alone in the weeds.
His steps were very slow, as if Fu Hongye was using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, and she was sleeping soundly.
Shan Bo's hands were shaking terribly.
He rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen wrongly.
It wasn't until I got closer and saw the remaining unwillingness, fear, and despair on Fu Hongye's face that I became convinced that this proud daughter of the Copper Coin Society had indeed died outside Qifeng City, or was killed by the Xingxiu Cult.
"Miss Fu?"
"..."
"Miss Fu, wake up, Uncle Shan is here to take you home."
"Don't sleep. It's getting cold. It's true that you are a master of martial arts and a third-grade Chaolu realm practitioner, but you should also be careful of getting sick in the cold weather."
Shan Bo bent down and carefully picked her up. He stood there stunned for a long time, sighed helplessly, turned around and ran towards Qifeng.
With Fu Hongye's death, and counting the losses of several other upper-level fourth-level masters, the Bronze Coin Society's winning rate in competing with the Xingxiu Sect for Qifeng City has plummeted.
"What's going on? Before the war started on all fronts, there were already heavy casualties, and we had to negotiate a peace?"
"The Xingxiu Sect has some abilities."
"Oh, how should I explain to the chief helmsman now?"
The Copper Coin Society attaches more importance to Kaifeng City than most people imagine. Even Shangguan Xi may not understand the Copper Coin Society's president's coveting of Kaifeng City.
Shan Bo entered the city and went straight to the government office with Fu Hongye in his arms. The helmsman of the Copper Coin Society is not in Pingkangfang, but is hiding in the government office.
Instead of going through the main entrance, Shan Bo jumped over the wall and entered.
"Kill them?"
As Shan Bo's breath appeared in the courtyard, the middle-aged man sitting in the main room slowly drinking tea asked.
"The helmsman..."
"Huh? Where is Fu Hongye? Didn't you tell me when you left? Don't be playful and kill them quickly. Besides, Fu Hongye is the proud daughter of the Copper Coin Society. There are countless people who want to kill her secretly. The best policy is to be cautious. , to avoid accidentally capsizing the boat in the gutter.”
Shan Bo took a deep breath: "Captain, she... Fu Hongye... has died in the battle."
"What did you say?"
I could clearly hear the middle-aged man in the main room put down his tea cup with a bang, and rushed into the courtyard in three steps at a time. His eyes were fixed on Fu Hongye's body: "Impossible! Impossible! Fu Hongye is one of the geniuses. How could she be killed? Unless the second-grade Great Sword Immortal of the Yang family takes action, no one in the huge Qifeng City can kill her!"
"Master, it's not the Yang family's Great Sword Immortal who takes action."
"Tell me clearly, who killed him?"
Shan Bo explained everything exactly.
After hearing this, the leader of the Copper Coin Society was silent for a long time.
"One is called Shen Li, and the other is Mu Twelve's distant relative Sun Xi?"
"Yes."
"Shen Li... Shen Li... are they all members of the Copper Coin Society?"
Shan Bo solemnly said: "According to the information the old slave received, Shen Li is a member of the Xingxiu Sect, but he does not know the news about Sun Xi. This woman seems to have suddenly appeared."
"Go and give me all the information on Shen Li."
"yes."
Shan Bo paid careful attention to the changes in the helmsman's expression. Seeing that his grief was beyond words, he sighed and said: "Helmsman, there are some things that I shouldn't say, but at this moment, I have to say them."
"That's all you say."
"Bi Jingye and Fu Hongye are both dead, plus the group of people who went out to search for the branch of the Xingxiu Sect, but the Xingxiu Sect was not injured at all. After one back and forth, we are no longer their opponents. It is better to ignore the face for the time being and initiate peace."
The helmsman waved his hand: "Let me think about this slowly. You go and find Shen Li's information and give it to me."
"As commanded."
Watching Shan Bo leave, the middle-aged man squatted in front of Fu Hongye, looked at her pale face, and said solemnly: "It is not easy to cultivate a genius with copper coins. Bi Jingye and you are both dead now, who will be the next genius?" What? Alas, the president and those vice-presidents will definitely not be able to spare me."
In today's world, every major force is cultivating its own genius.
For example, the Copper Coin Society, Taoist sects, Buddhist temples, and Confucian academies all work very hard to have one more talented person in their family in order to increase their power.
The current world is experiencing a big year of talent spurts. If you don’t take this opportunity to train the next generation of successors, when the big year has passed and turned into a small year, the geniuses of other forces will take over the burden, and your own family will fall behind step by step. It's outrageous to be suppressed.
Fu Hongye is the genius of the Copper Coin Club. Besides her, there is another candidate, Bi Jingye.
However, there has always been a lot of gossip about Bi Jingye. Some people say that Bi Jingye's talent is not outstanding. The reason why he became a candidate for genius is just because Bi Jingye is lucky. Some people say that Bi Jingye actually chose to retreat in order to break through the realm. The method is simply cowardly to the extreme. This kind of person is not worthy of becoming a genius. Some people say that Bi Jingye is greedy for pleasure, and now his mind is no longer on martial arts...
When Shan Bo hurried back with the intelligence file, the helmsman suddenly said: "I have an idea."
"Has the helmsman come up with a clever plan?"
"Did Fu Hongye have some criticisms about copper coins a few days ago?" the helmsman asked softly.
Shan Bo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Exactly, Fu Hongye thinks that everyone in the Copper Coin Society is a waste of money, and he is very attracted to the Sanqing Sect. He often said that if she went to the Sanqing Sect, Qingzong will definitely be able to break through to the second level with the help of his ancestral fairy sword. But the copper coins will be so poor that only money will be left, and all she will smell is the smell of copper, which she doesn't like."
"You're right, I just remembered it, where is Bi Jingye?"
"Bi Jingye? This son must not be kept. I have evidence to prove that Bi Jingye and the Tianhe faction are having an affair."
"So, the two people died well. Not only was it not a loss to our Copper Coin Society, but was it also a dead end that we deliberately set up?"
"The helmsman was far-sighted and grasped the evidence that Fu Hongye and Bi Jingye betrayed the Copper Coin Society, and then he had to make up his mind to eradicate the cancer of the Copper Coin Society."
"Where's the evidence I have?"
"Old slave, go get it now."
The helmsman took over the intelligence file about Shen Li and said, "Shanbo has made a great contribution in this matter, which is gratifying."
"Thanks to the guidance of the helmsman, the old slave did not make a big mistake, otherwise he would have been deceived by the illusion of Fu Hongye and Bi Jingye." Shan Bo bowed respectfully and spoke clearly every word.
The middle-aged man chuckled: "Go ahead and be busy. Remember to be careful when dealing with evidence of the two's rebellion. Don't let other brothers in the association gossip."
"Please rest assured, helmsman, I understand that this matter is very important."
"Okay. I will ask the president for credit for you."
Shan Bo didn't straighten his back until he left the yard.
He really didn't expect that the helmsman would think of such a sinister method.
However, one code after another, Fu Hongye, the genius, died in battle, and the involvement was too great. If he didn't think of a way, both he and the helmsman would have to suffer an unacceptable crime.
As for Shen Li, the initiator, he took Sun Xi to see Shangguan Xi.
"What did you say? Say it again."
Shen Li had no choice but to repeat the story of killing Bi Jingye and Fu Hongye.
After Shangguan heard this, he fell into deep thoughts.
The first thing that comes to mind is that the Copper Coin Society will definitely sue for peace. They can't fight anymore. The two major forces have already suffered such heavy losses before they started a full-scale war in Qifeng City. If they fight hard, they will definitely lose. It’s the Xingxiu Sect.
"Haha..." Even though Shangguan was happy and angry, he couldn't help laughing.
He laughed happily for a while and felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders suddenly disappeared. He looked at Sun Xi and asked with a smile: "Miss Sun, do you have any idea of joining the Xingxiu Sect?"
Sun Xi shook his head: "I don't like the Xingxiu Sect."
"Oh? Why?" Shangguan Xi was not angry and was willing to listen to her explain why she didn't like it. "I'm all ears."
"You even have to listen to why I don't like Xingxiu."
"Miss Sun, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Okay, this is what you want me to say."
The impression Sun Xi had on Shen Li was that her personality had changed drastically. From that shy woman to suddenly being bold and bold, the young man couldn't believe the change so much.
No wonder she always wanted to teach her the method of self-destruction. The influence of Shura from the Prison of Hell can transform a person's character inside and out.
If Shura is allowed to cause trouble, Sun Xi will inevitably become a cruel and murderous person.
God indeed follows the path of balance. Since it has given people the gift of magical powers, it will definitely make people subject to it.
"The Xingxiu Sect is too despicable. They often assassinate and follow dark paths instead of the open and honest path." Sun Xi commented on the Xingxiu Sect.
Regarding the Xingxiu Sect's judgment, Shangguan Xi's ears almost became calloused when he heard it. He explained: "Since the way of assassination exists in the world, it must have its reason. Miss Sun's wishful thinking classified the way of assassination as a dark path, without knowing the yin and yang. The principle of complementarity? Since there is fairness and justice, there must be darkness and sinisterness?"
"Are you admitting that the Xingxiu Sect is sinister and treacherous?"
"Of course not, Miss Sun... Or maybe the world doesn't know our Xingxiu Sect. I heard from rumors in the market that the Xingxiu Sect has always been good at assassinations, and does not take an open and honest path. All of this is prejudice, Miss Sun. Have you ever heard of the Xingxiu Cult’s bounty list?”
"I heard it occasionally."
"Miss Sun, does she know that most of the villains on the bounty list are from the Xingxiu Cult?"
This matter is a secret. Everyone in the world knows about the Xingxiu Sect’s bounty list, and people in the world spend a lot of money to get their enemies on the list.
In order to obtain money, some martial arts masters expose the list and hunt down people.
Sun Xi admitted: "I don't know about this."
"Okay, now Miss Sun and I will explain that the evildoers on the bounty list are some of the evildoers who are on the bounty list. We, the Xingxiu Sect, do this for the sake of the safety of all people. We also hope that the people in the world will not ignore the people because of their superior martial arts. The extremely evil and indescribable people are listed on the list, and because the masters of our Xingxiu Sect are not as good as those powerful forces that have been passed down for hundreds of years, I hope that the benevolent people in the world will eradicate these evil people for the sake of the safety of the people and the stability of the world."
Sun Xi squinted his eyes: "Is that really true?"
"There is no need for me to deceive Miss Sun."
