Chapter 390: The Murderer Xiang Qingtian!

Memory Card!

The card he extracted from Xu Zhongze’s corpse was a Memory Card.

This former general of the Kang Nation had indeed “died” more than 60 years ago.

But not completely dead.

His physical body had indeed been refined into a puppet, and half of his soul had been preserved, which made it a remnant soul.

However, when this remnant soul was preserved, something went wrong. It only retained half of its consciousness.

This bit of consciousness no longer had its own autonomy. It was only instinctive and controlled by others.

Su Jingxing not only knew the person who manipulated him, he had even fought him before.

Xiang Qingtian!

The Martial Sage of New Chu Nation, Xiang Qingtian, whose physical body had been killed by Su Jingxing and whose Essence Soul had been injured, was the mastermind behind Ao Chunqiu’s injuries and the destruction of the You Family.

Xu Zhongze’s Memory Card recorded the latter half of his life.

Su Jingxing wasn’t interested in the first half of his life either.

The latter half of his life happened to be of help to Su Jingxing.

Although Xu Zhongze’s remnant soul consciousness only had instincts after his “death” more than 60 years ago,

the Memory Card still contained this segment of his memories.

In other words, the memories of Xu Zhongze after he was turned into a puppet and was controlled by Xiang Qingtian.

A puppet that only had instincts was almost like a dead person.

Therefore, Xiang Qingtian had shared a lot of his secrets in front of Xu Zhongze.

Xu Zhongze’s remnant soul consciousness clearly recorded these secrets.

Su Jingxing used this opportunity to browse through them one by one.

Xu Zhongze’s physical body had been refined by Xiang Qingtian using a secret art to become extremely terrifying. It was comparable to the body of a Martial Sage. It was very difficult for Transcendent-grade martial artists below the fifth class of the Void Soul realm to destroy it.

For this, Xiang Qingtian brought Xu Zhongze everywhere with him.

On this trip to the Yu Nation, Xiang Qingtian first went to the You Family and asked for something called the Heavenly Star Disk.

Although the You Family was a large family in the Fulong Prefecture of the Yu Nation, they were privately supported by the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation.

In other words, the You Family was actually a subordinate faction of the New Chu Nation’s imperial family.

The Heavenly Star Disk was something that the You Family had obtained by chance and had once reported to the Xiang Family.

At that time, the Xiang Family did not ask the You Family to hand it over. Instead, they instructed the You Family to safekeep it.

This time, Xiang Qingtian had suddenly come knocking on their door and asked for the You Family to hand it over.

If everything was fine and the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation was still a powerful imperial family, there would be no problem. The You Family would respectfully present the Heavenly Star Disk.

However, the Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation was no longer the imperial family of the past.

Xiang Qingtian’s physical body had been destroyed by Su Jingxing, and his Essence Soul was also injured.

How could a big family clan like the You Family continue to follow him and listen to his orders?

Therefore, when Xiang Qingtian came knocking on their door, the You Family tried to stall for time while informing Ao Chunqiu to go to the underground of Chengtian Palace and take the Heavenly Star Disk.

The Heavenly Star Disk had been placed under the Chengtian Palace by the You Family. As for the reason, Xu Zhongze had no idea as he did not experience it.

In the end, Xiang Qingtian realized that something was wrong and directly flew to the Chengtian Palace. He injured Ao Chunqiu and took away the Heavenly Star Disk that he had already obtained.

Then, he would return to the You Family and silence everyone.

Of course, it wasn’t Xiang Qingtian who took action. Xiang Qingtian was only responsible for hypnotizing everyone within a thousand meters of the You Family’s manor and putting them into a deep sleep.

The person who destroyed the You Family was Xu Zhongze!

With a physical body comparable to a martial artist in the fifth class of the Void Soul realm, he was truly invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire. Which one of the You Family members would be Xu Zhongze’s match?

Therefore, in the sealed You Family manor, Xu Zhongze launched a bloody massacre, killing everyone in the You Family and destroying most of the buildings.

Finally, they left behind a secret chamber. Xiang Qingtian locked Xu Zhongze in it and set up an array formation outside.

The reason for doing this was to leave Xu Zhongze to Su Jingxing.

If someone else had opened the secret chamber, Xu Zhongze could have come out and started a massacre.

But this would expose Xu Zhongze.

With Xu Zhongze exposed, Su Jingxing would be much easier to deal with.

However, hiding him in the secret chamber and suddenly launching a sneak attack could catch Su Jingxing off guard.

And that was indeed the case.

Xu Zhongze had indeed succeeded. He had ambushed Su Jingxing and sent him flying.

But that was all.

Now, not only did Xu Zhongze fail to achieve Xiang Qingtian’s goal, he even exposed Xiang Qingtian’s conspiracy.

After this Martial Sage of New Chu got his physical body killed and his Essence Soul injured by Su Jingxing, no one knew what he had been through.

It was unclear why he came to the Yu Nation to ask for the Heavenly Star Disk.

Revenge on Su Jingxing?

Destroy the stability of the Yu Nation?

Su Jingxing couldn’t figure it out, but since this fellow had come to the Yu Nation, he had to find him no matter what.

Immediately, Su Jingxing’s main body circulated the Six Comets Records in the Void World to deduce Xiang Qingtian’s whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, he quickly divined the location.

Moreover, the location he obtained was motionless and very close to the capital.

What’s going on?

Xiang Qingtian is waiting for me?

They were both Martial Sages. If Su Jingxing could deduce Xiang Qingtian using the heavenly secret arts, Xiang Qingtian could also counterattack using the heavenly secret arts.

Given Xiang Qingtian’s Void Soul realm, it was impossible for him to not have any ability to resist.

In the end, Su Jingxing successfully found him.

Something is wrong!

Xiang Qingtian was up to no good. There was definitely something wrong.

However, it was still as he had said earlier. Since Xiang Qingtian was here, he had to go meet him.

At this thought, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul retracted its thoughts and looked at Guan Zhonghua and the others.

“I’ve already found the murderer. I’ll go catch him now. You guys are in charge of handling things here.”

With that, he soared into the air and disappeared into the horizon.

Guan Zhonghua, Fu Neng, Xiao Renwo, and the others stood rooted to the ground and looked at one another.

“Is this… real or fake?” asked Luo Zhuigong in shock, his mouth agape.

“It should be true,” said Fu Neng excitedly, his mouth agape. He only closed his mouth a while later.

“That’s right. There’s no need for the Martial Sage to lie to us. Since he said he found the person, he must have.” Guan Zhonghua nodded.

Seeing this, the others could only nod in agreement.

Otherwise, there was no way to continue the discussion.

After killing Xu Zhongze, Su Jingxing stood there in silence for a while.

He said that the murderer had been found.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be mocked to death.

A Martial Sage was different.

No one knew what the Martial Sages would do.

Guan Zhonghua and the others weren’t in the Transcendent-grade, so they weren’t sure either. The only thing they could do was trust Su Jingxing.

Since he said he would catch the murderer, he would definitely do so!

…

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, which was flying through the air, ignored Guan Zhonghua and the others.

It was up to them whether they wanted to believe it or not.

The divined location of Xiang Qingtian was less than 600 miles away from the capital.

Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul traversed through space and quickly arrived at its destination.

On an open-air hillside where half of a mountain peak had collapsed and the valley was mostly sunken,

Xiang Qingtian’s Essence Soul lay under the shade of a tree. Its body alternated between illusory and corporeal.

Seeing Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul coming from afar, it actually smiled and greeted it like an old friend.

“You’re finally here.”
