Chapter 119: The Eleventh in the World (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
Wuling City, a valley outside the eastern suburbs.

Dozens of corpses were lined up neatly.

There were twenty or thirty constables gathered in front of the corpse.

On the ground in front of them were various messy objects, all of which were searched out from the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect.

The most eye-catching ones are two wooden boxes, one large and one small.

The big one is four feet long, and the small one is more than one foot long.

“Sir, these were searched from the bodies of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect. These were found in their camp.”

Chen Song explained the origins of these things.

The items seized from the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect were varied, including small change, silver bills, healing pills, mirrors, and even a woman’s underwear.

Su Mu just glanced at it casually and let Chen Song divide the money.

With his current status, a few hundred taels of silver are no longer worth his attention.

However, for Chen Song and others, each of them received dozens of taels of silver, which was equivalent to making a fortune, and they were all grinning from ear to ear.

When the detectives were dividing the silver, Su Mu’s eyes fell on the things that were searched out from the camp of the remnants of the Wen Xiang Sect.

These are the real good things.

Su Mu first picked up the small wooden box and examined it carefully.

There is a small word “He” on the bottom of the wooden box.

A sneer appeared on Su Mu’s lips.

Is this thing the price the He family paid to ask the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect to take action?
The He family is really haunting!

An idea popped up in Su Mu’s mind: should he go to the He family and set another fire?

After tonight’s battle, he also realized that his strength was even stronger than he had imagined, and even those in the Blood Exchange Realm were no match for him.

However, there are gaps between the blood exchange realms, and the He family may not have a more powerful blood exchange realm.

“First collect some interest, and we’ll calculate the rest later.”

Su Mu snorted in his heart.

After the battle tonight, his Autumn Water Knife was destroyed, and this account must be attributed to the He family.

After making sure that the wooden box had no mechanism, Su Mu slowly opened it.

Inside the wooden box, there was a thick stack of silver bills, each with a face value of one thousand taels. A quick glance revealed that there were probably as many as one hundred thousand taels.

Su Mu, who had experienced several house confiscations, had seen the world. One hundred thousand taels was already equivalent to the entire fortune of an ordinary wealthy businessman in the outer city.

The He family is indeed one of the four major families in the inner city. They are so generous that they are willing to spend 100,000 taels of silver to buy Su Mu’s life.

Is Su Mu really that valuable?
Su Mu complained in his heart that in addition to the silver bills, there were two pearls the size of a baby’s fist in the wooden box, which also looked priceless.

After looking at them, Su Mu closed the wooden box again. Since Wen Xiang Sect was not worthy of these things, he, Su Mu, accepted them with a smile.

Su Mu’s bad mood caused by the damage of the Qiu Shui Sword improved a little. The 100,000 taels of silver could allow him to buy another good sword, which could barely make up for some of his losses.

After putting the small wooden box away, Su Mu reached out and opened the large wooden box.

After seeing what was inside, Su Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing the shape of the wooden box, Su Mu actually had some guesses in his mind, but after actually seeing it, he was still a little surprised.

A three-foot-long knife lay quietly in the wooden box.

The shape of the long sword was somewhat similar to the Tang sword that Su Mu used in his previous life. It was a straight sword with a slight curve.

Although the knife was not unsheathed, a chill still came over me. I didn’t know what material the scabbard was made of. The black scabbard had a metallic texture and was carved with ancient patterns.

Su Mu reached out and picked up the knife, then separated his hands.

Clang!
The blade is one foot long out of the sheath, the blade is as thin as paper and its edge is intimidating.

“Good knife!”

Su Mu couldn’t help but praise.

He exerted a little force and the long sword was completely unsheathed.

Su Mu waved his hand casually.

puff!
With a slight sound, the long wooden box was split into two. The cut was smooth and neat, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

During the whole process, Su Mu did not feel any sense of obstruction.

Qiu Shui is already a famous sword, but Su Mu feels that the sword in his hand is sharper than Qiu Shui.

“Qiu Shui is just a sword given by the Wang family as a reward to the guards, but this sword is used by the He family to ask the strong men in the blood exchange realm to take action. Naturally, there is no comparison between the two.”

Su Mu secretly said in his heart, “My Qiu Shui was ruined, so this knife is just the right one to replace it.”

Su Mu couldn’t let go of the knife. He stroked the blade carefully.

I found two small ancient characters near the handle of the knife.

After careful identification, I found that the two words were “Thunder”.

“Hearing thunder in the silence, is this the Thunder Blade?”

After Chen Song distributed the silver, he came to Su Mu and happened to see Su Mu identifying the two ancient characters. He also came over curiously and couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise.

“You know it?”

Su Mu looked up at Chen Song.

“of course I know!”

Chen Song said excitedly, “There aren’t many warriors in Wuling City who don’t know about the Thunder Blade!
The Taiping Division of our Wuling City once had a pacification envoy named Zhao Jinglei, and the Jinglei Sword was the sword in his hand.

Over a hundred years ago, Wuling City was attacked by a beast tide. Envoy Zhao killed a third-level monster with his Thunder Blade, shocking the world.

The first stage is blood transfusion, the second stage is rebirth, the third stage…

Su Mu also showed surprise on his face.

“Someone once reviewed the world’s most powerful weapons, and the Thunder Blade ranked eleventh.

Everyone said that if Master Zhao Jinglei had not died later, with his talent and strength, Jinglei Blade would have been ranked higher. “

Chen Song said with admiration.

“The eleventh in the world?”

Su Mu pondered and said, “What’s the ranking of Qiu Shui Dao?”

“Autumn Water Blade, not on the list…”

Chen Song glanced at Su Mu secretly and said in a low voice.

Su Mu had a calm expression and said “oh” lightly.

This is normal. The magic weapons in the eyes of the Body Tempering Realm would probably be of low quality if placed on a higher level.

However, it was somewhat beyond Su Mu’s expectations that the Thunder Blade could be ranked eleventh among the world’s magical weapons.

He flicked the blade with his fingers, and the blade made a crisp sound.

If what he had in his hand before was not Qiu Shui, but this Jing Lei, then the first blood exchange realm would not be able to break the knife in his hand, but would be cut in half by himself.

Clang.

After putting the sword back into the sheath, Su Mu wore the Thunder Sword on his waist with great satisfaction and patted the sheath gently.

“A precious sword worthy of a hero, congratulations on obtaining the magic weapon!”

Chen Song bowed, with a look of envy on his face.

“Today’s bandit suppression was successful. Everyone will be awarded one merit. Pack up and prepare to return to the city.”

Su Mu said with a smile.

“Thank you, sir!”

Chen Song and other constables shouted in delight, “They can make money and accomplish merit at the same time. It is so satisfying to work with young Sima Su.”

…………

puff!
He Gongxiu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards on his back.

“master!”

The housekeeper exclaimed and rushed over, pinching He Gongxiu’s Ren Zhong and massaging his chest. After a while, He Gongxiu finally woke up.

“I hate it!”

He Gongxiu let out a long breath and uttered a few words.

“Master, it has come to this, please take care of yourself.”

The housekeeper consoled.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to die yet.”

He Gongxiu stood up with the help of the housekeeper and walked to the chair and sat down.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

“As long as Su Mu doesn’t die, I will never rest in peace!
A minor disease has now become a serious problem.

If I had known this, I should have killed it with lightning speed from the beginning.”

He Gongxiu said this with gritted teeth, and felt a tightness in his chest again.

Who could have thought that a captain of police who came from a refugee background could bring him so much trouble.

Even his fourteenth uncle who was in the blood exchange state died because of him!

When He Gongxiu thought about what the He family had paid, his heart bleed.

The He family had recently lost several sources of income, and in order to come up with the 100,000 taels of silver, he had already used up all his savings.

And the Thunder Blade…

I can’t think about it, my heart hurts when I think about it!
He Gongxiu covered his chest.

Su Mu alone was not worth such a huge price for him. His main purpose was actually to kill Luo An Ning.

Unexpectedly, in the end, not only was Luo An Ning not killed, but even Su Mu survived.

However, all the people he sent out were wiped out.

Uncle Fourteen is at the blood exchange stage!

Even though the He family is wealthy and powerful, the loss of a powerful person in the Blood Exchange Realm is an unbearable pain.

To be honest, it’s not his fault that He Gongxiu made a wrong decision.

After realizing the threat from Su Mu, he had already taken action, and even sent out strong men in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Who could have thought that with such a strong force, the entire army would be wiped out in the end!

He Gongxiu didn’t know what happened at the scene. He only knew that Su Mu and Luo Anning were safe and sound, and the body of his fourteenth uncle He Dazhen had been hung on the city gate of Dongcheng District.

Along with them, there were also the remnants of the Wen Xiang Sect who he had hired at a huge expense!

“That day, none of the Luo family’s masters took action. Who on earth killed Uncle Fourteen and the others?!”

He Gongxiu began to think.

The whereabouts of the masters in Wuling City who were able to kill Fourteenth Uncle were almost always clear, and it was impossible for them to appear in the eastern suburbs that night.

In this case, either there is a hidden master in the Luo family, or Luo Anning and Su Mu killed Uncle Fourteen and the others.

Although the latter sounds unlikely, the couple are both extremely talented…

“If the two of them really break through to the blood exchange stage, then they will be qualified to become Taiping Duwei.

We can’t let them wear the Taiping Duwei’s official uniforms, otherwise it will be troublesome to kill them again.”

He Gongxiu said to himself.

The death of a Taiping Duwei and the death of a Taiping Division official are two completely different things.

It’s fine if Bai Yi from the Taiping Division died, but if it was the Taiping Duwei who died inexplicably, the Taiping Division would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

“Since they have become a serious threat to me, I can no longer allow them to continue to grow. No matter how great the price I have to pay, I will kill them!”

He Gongxiu said to himself.

Just at this moment, a person suddenly ran in hurriedly.

“Master, the brothers outside the city sent news that the eldest daughter of the Luo family has broken through the blood exchange realm and is now on her way back to the city!”

The man handed over a small piece of paper.

“Is that true?”

He Gongxiu took the note, glanced at the contents, and sneered, “You left the supply point for two days, and when you came back you were covered in wounds. Were you injured when you fought to the death with Uncle Fourteen and the others?
He even pretended that the injuries were sustained while killing monsters. Do you think I, He Gongxiu, am a fool?
In order to conceal your tracks, you even went back to the supply point. It’s really hard for you!”

He Gongxiu’s face flashed with murderous intent, “What does it matter if you break through the blood exchange realm? As long as you can never return to Wuling City–“

“Butler, help me contact Jinfeng Tower!”

He Gongxiu hesitated for a moment, a trace of pain flashed across his face, and finally he whispered.

…………

“Who sent this?”

Su Mu looked at the things in front of him and asked with some surprise.

“do not know.”

Chen Song, Zheng Wang and others shook their heads at the same time.

“When the night patrol brother came back, he saw it at the gate of the government office. I asked around, but no one knew when and by whom it was placed there.”

Chen Song said cautiously, feeling somewhat guilty.

A large box was placed at the door of his house, but no one noticed it. Fortunately, it was just a box. If a fire was set, Dongchengsi would be in great disgrace.

Su Mu had a blank expression on his face and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
A strong gust of wind hit the box, and the lid popped open, revealing the contents.

“Sir, it’s a weapon!”

Chen Song exclaimed with some surprise.

Su Mu nodded. Seeing that there was no disgusting thing like human tissue in the box, he walked forward and took out the long silk-wrapped object.

When the wrapped silk was unwound, a knife was revealed inside.

A long sword that was somewhat similar to his damaged Autumn Water Sword, exquisitely decorated and looked very expensive.

After pulling it out and taking a look, Su Mu was sure that this was a sword that was no less powerful than the Autumn Water Knife.

Of course, there is still some gap compared to the Thunder Blade.

“Who sent a knife to Dongchengsi for no apparent reason? It doesn’t look like a murder weapon.”

Zheng Wang muttered softly.

Chen Song glanced at Su Mu secretly, as if he had thought of something.

That night when they were ambushed by the remnants of the Wen Xiang Sect, a man in black jumped out to save them. That night, the master’s Autumn Water Sword was destroyed. Could this sword be given to the master by the man in black?

Chen Song didn’t know who the man in black who appeared that night was, and he was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

If Chen Song could think of these things, Su Mu would naturally think of them as well.

He was now more and more curious about who that woman in black was that night.

He stopped a strong man in the Blood Exchange Realm for me, saw that my Autumn Water Sword was destroyed, and now he gave me another sword. What does the other party want?

Could it be that this body of mine has a great origin?

When Su Mu accepted this body, he also received the body’s original memories. His previous life had a clean background and was born in an ordinary family. There was no possibility that a relative would suddenly appear.

He had no idea who was helping him.

“My lord, there is something else.”

Zheng Wang pointed at the box, took out the remaining things in the box diligently, and handed it to Su Mu with both hands.

“Martial arts secret manual?”

Su Mu took it and looked at it, and his thoughts were immediately attracted.
