Bam!

With a dull thud, the corpse transportation truck shook violently.

In the driver's cab, Su Jingxing swiftly opened the door and threw the driver, Kong Dabao, and his partner out of the truck and onto the ground with a knack.

Finally, he bent down and hopped onto the ground.

Ignoring the roof of the truck, Su Jingxing quickly moved away from the truck after landing. He then lifted Kong Dabao, his partner, and the driver away from the truck in two trips.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

As Su Jingxing and company fled, the men in black with no more misgivings surrounded the corpse truck and launched a barrage of attacks.

The back door of the truck had been forced open. A martial artist whose externally released true energy was wrapped around his body in three different colors also struck savage and forcefully tore into the iron sheet at the top of the truck.

Under the immense force, all the remaining tires on the corpse transportation truck burst, causing the entire truck to lie flat on the road.

In front of the crowd, more than ten men in black pulled the corpses out from the body bags and inspected them.

They moved very quickly, each of them holding one corpse. They finished examining the dozen corpses in no time.

“There's no Tian Huaizhao. Let's go!”

The martial artist who had punched through the roof seemed to be the leader as he issued the order in a deep voice.

With that, he was the first to leap into the air. Stepping the air, he disappeared into the rooftop of a store across the road.

The other men in black did the same, they hid in whichever corner they came from.

A group of people came and left quickly. They forced the corpse transportation truck to stop, forced open the doors of the truck, punched through the roof, and checked the identities of the corpses. Finally, they left calmly. The entire process took less than five minutes.

On the road, the shops on the left and right sides of the road, as well as the pedestrians who passed by, were all stunned on the spot, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

Kong Dabao, his partner, and the corpse transportation truck driver were all dumbfounded.

What just happened?

What just happened?!

On the road, everyone's mind was spinning.

In broad daylight, forcing the truck to stop and examining the corpses.

What kind of people were they!

“This is crazy. People these days are crazy.”

“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Who are they?! Who are they?! This is ridiculous!”

“What are you talking about? This isn't an armored vehicle. They must be out of their mind, robbing a corpse transportation truck?!”

“You are the one who's out of your mind. It's not like they're here for money. They're here to look for corpses. Tian Huaizhao? Who is he, anyway?”

“I'm not sure, but he's definitely a formidable figure. Things weren't peaceful when he was alive, but now that he's dead, people are actually coming to rob his corpse. This Tian Huaizhao must be able to rest in peace.”

“What a bunch of idiots. You don't even know who Tian Huaizhao is, and yet you keep talking nonsense here. Aren't you embarrassed?! What's more laughable is that you can't even tell who those men are!”

“Heh, you sure are something. Tell me then, who did this?”

“What a silly way to goad me. But, I'll satisfy you. The martial art that the martial artist who punched through the roof used just was the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra!”

“Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra? This martial art sounds familiar.”

“F*ck! Are you serious? Was that person really using the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra?”

“What's the point of lying to you about this? If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage.”

“What's going on? What on earth is going on? Is there a problem with this Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra?”

“There's a big problem! The Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra is the Li family's ultimate art! It's an advanced martial art that can help one reach the third-grade!”

“What!”

“Huh?”

Everyone was stunned.

In the next second, be it the pedestrians who were watching the commotion, the owners of the shops, or the drivers driving on the road, everyone took to their heels.

The pedestrians fled the street, and the stall owner swiftly shut their stalls. The drivers also left their cars behind and fled on foot.

In less than half a minute, Su Jingxing, Kong Dabao, his partner, and the driver were the only ones left on the empty street. The latter three stood stunned in silence.

Su Jingxing wasn't included because he had known this would happen from the very beginning before the corpse transportation truck was forced to stop.

He had overheard their plan to put on an act in front of everyone.

He would only know the details of the act after it was staged.

Forcing the corpse transportation truck to stop and examining the corpses wasn't the key.

The key was the martial art executed by the martial artist who punched through the roof of the truck.

The Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra!

This martial art belonged to the number one martial arts family in Qinghe City——the Li family.

Anyone who paid attention to the Li Family knew that only their members could cultivate the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra.

Besides, not everyone in the Li Family could take a look at this mantra.

Only direct descendants and talented collateral descendants had the right to touch it.

That was the problem.

If the martial artist who punched through the roof had executed the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra, was he a member of the Li Family?

Even though the traces of acting were too obvious in the actions of these men in black and anyone who observed them closely could tell that they were putting on an act, no matter how hard one tried to conceal it, the fact that the leader of the these men had cultivated the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra could not be concealed!

That was a big problem.

The Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra that only the Li Family's direct descendants and important descendants could cultivate had appeared at this scene.

How many people would believe claims that the leader of the men in black wasn't from the Li Family?

On the other hand, if he was from the Li Family, what were their intentions then? Why did they do this?

Were they the ones who killed Tian Huaizhao? Was it… the doing of the Li Family?!

If it wasn't the Li Family, why would they stop the corpse transportation truck to examine the corpses?

These questions popped up immediately after the leader of the group executed the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra.

For these reasons, everyone else had fled.

This concerned the Li Family's reputation, and no one was willing to get involved in the truth.

No matter whether that martial artist was from the Li Family or not, no one dared to linger on the scene.

If the Li Family went crazy and disregarded everything, spreading their resentment to the spectators, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But this was of little importance to Kong Dabao and his partner, the driver and Su Jingxing.

They worked at the crematorium, and no matter who killed who and who plotted against who, they couldn't be associated.

That said, while that made sense, the actions of these people still shocked Kong Dabao and the two others. They were unable to calm down for a long time.

The corpse transportation truck, in particular, was so badly damaged that it lay flat on the ground without tires.

Kong Dabao's mouth fell open. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, “What… what do we do?”

“What else can we do? Make a call,” sighed his partner helplessly.

“I… I'll do it.” The driver pulled out his phone with shaking hands and dialed the number of the crematorium transportation team to send an empty truck immediately.

They exchanged a few words, and the driver's anger erupted.

“Why would I lie to you?! We were really robbed!”

“It happened on the street. First, the tires have burst. Then, the entire truck laid flat on the ground. If it wasn't for Captain Little stopping it in time, the truck would have flown and we would all be dead by now!”

“Enough with the bullsh*t. Hurry up and send a truck… How do I even know who these people are? If I did, why the f*ck would I be driving a corpse transportation truck?”

Pa!

The call ended. The driver had vented his frustrations, but lingering fear was written all over his face.

Kong Dabao and his partner were more or less the same.

Although from the very beginning, these people had only been attacking the tires and forcing the truck to stop, with no intention of taking their lives,

no one could predict the consequences of flat tires.

Especially the main road, there were many cars that came and went at a fast speed.

The worst-case scenario would be death in a car wreck. Even if they managed to survive, they would be severely wounded.

It could also lead to a chain collision, which could result in even more casualties.

If it weren't for Su Jingxing, they wouldn't have been able to avoid getting injured.

The more they thought about it, the more they resented the men in black.

“Can't they wait until we reach the crematorium to examine the corpses?” said Kong Dabao angrily. “Why did we have to cause such a commotion on the streets?”

“There must be a reason. These people are definitely up to no good,” said his partner through gritted teeth.

Su Jingxing remained silent.

Why?

Why else? Of course it was to blow the matter up and frame the Li Family for killing Tian Huaizhao!

Tian Huaizhao was from the headquarters of the Tai Long Corporation, so he must have a powerful background.

The chairman of the Tai Long Corporation was already on his way to Qinghe City.

When he gets here and hears about the Li Family's “men” seizing Tian Huaizhao's corpse on the streets, would he not visit the Li Family?

Once he did, it would muddy the water and the people who killed Tian Huaizhao would remain comfortably in the background from then on.

Even though this plan was simple, it also had many flaws.

However, the appearance of the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra had already implicated the Li family, no matter how much they tried to explain it.

“If I remember correctly, the Tai Long Corporation has a third-grade martial artist holding down the fort!”

“Tsk, things are getting more and more interesting.”

Su Jingxing concluded internally.

The truck that had rushed over from the crematorium arrived quickly.

Together, Su Jingxing, Kong Dabao, and his partner moved all the corpses onto the new truck.

The damaged vehicle would remain where it was and left to the Public Security Team to handle.

They returned to the crematorium.

Kong Dabao, his partner, and even the driver joined up with the others to discuss the matter excitedly.

Su Jingxing found an excuse to return to his office, closed the door, and brought out the cards he had extracted.

He held each card in his palm and read its content.

True Energy Card, True Energy Card, True Energy Card, Skill Card, Memory Card, True Energy Card…

Most of them were True Energy Cards with around five years of cultivation.

There were two Skill Cards, and they contained two martial arts. Su Jingxing took a look at them, but they weren't of high level, so he stored them in his palm space for the time being.

The only exception was the Memory Card. After unlocking it, the contents that Su Jingxing got invigorated him.

It was 20 years of memories of a martial artist named Qu Riyue.

He was Tian Huaizhao's trusted subordinate and had served him since he was a teenager. He was Tian Huaizhao's most loyal subordinate and a sharp sword for killing.

As a result, Qu Riyue knew all of Tian Huaizhao's secrets.

More than 10 years ago, Tian Huaizhao was only an ordinary person. He was an ordinary hawker in a city near the prefecture city and shared relationships with five women because of his good looks.

He did not make a lot of money as a hawker, but the five women were all wealthy. Every time they went on a date, they would give Tian Huaizhao a sum of money. Of course, it was under the guise of supporting Tian Huaizhao's decision to start a business.

Even though Tian Huaizhao failed every time he started a business, he was very glib-tongued and managed to please five women who were either pretty, had powerful backgrounds, or were rich.

That's right——Tian Huaizhao was both a douchebag and a kept man.

Until one day, a man came looking for him.

The man's name was Xu Tailong, the founder and chairman of the Changyang Prefecture City's Tai Long Corporation!

Xu Tailong had sought out Tian Huaizhao in a search for his child. Tian Huaizhao was possibly his son who was left outside.

Of course, he wasn't a son with his legal wife. Instead, he was a child left behind after Xu Tailong's affair.

Simply put, he was an illegitimate child.

Whether or not this illegitimate child was real had to be verified.

In the end, Tian Huaizhao was overjoyed. He really was Xu Tailong's son!

Even though he was an illegitimate child, he now had a powerful backer.

From then on, Tian Huaizhao embarked on a bright road. Not only did he desert the five women who fed him, he even rose overnight and entered the headquarters of the Tai Long Corporation.

Under normal circumstances, he should have kept a low profile as an illegitimate child. If the wife were to find out, she would most likely kill him secretly.

Unfortunately, the son of Xu Tailong's legal wife had already died from an illness.

Xu Tailong had a problem with his reproductive system because he was too promiscuous when he was young, and he only had one son.

Unfortunately, this son died from an illness. Helpless, Xu Tailong then recalled Tian Huaizhao.

Without any threats, Tian Huaizhao could do whatever he wanted.

Had it not been for the fact that Xu Tailong's wife was still alive, quite capable and scheming,

Tian Huaizhao, the illegitimate son, would have long since become the rightful heir of the Tai Long Corporation.

Even so, the upper echelons of the Tai Long Corporation headquarters were well aware of Tian Huaizhao's identity. They were a bunch of bootlickers on the surface and in secret.

Tian Huaizhao might not have a proper status, but in everyone's eyes, he was a public illegitimate child.

With such an identity, he received all kinds of resources. Over a dozen years, he successfully advanced from an ordinary person to a fifth-grade martial artist.

Qu Riyue, who had always been his follower, naturally enjoyed the benefits. He also went from a good fighter to a fifth-grade martial artist.

This visit to Qinghe City to take over the Tai Long branch office was nothing but a side mission.

Tian Huaizhao's real goal was to obtain a mysterious map!

A map that could advance him to the third-grade.

The map was located in Xuantian University.

However, after several days of searching, they still couldn't find a single map.

Left with no choice, Tian Huaizhao called Xu Tailong and learned a secret from him.

The Scholar Restaurant's He Family knew about the mysterious map.

Tian Huaizhao had also learned some of the He Family's secrets from Xu Tailong.

Instead of informing Xu Tailong, the audacious Tian Huaizhao openly sought out an old man named He Lieren that afternoon and invited him to the top floor of the Tai Long Building for a chat.

At the beginning, the conversation was normal. Tian Huaizhao hinted a few times, hoping that He Lieren would reveal the location of the map.

He Lieren kept playing dumb.

Driven into a corner, Tian Huaizhao revealed He Lieren's true identity.

Someone from the Scholar Restaurant's He Family!

He Lieren was merely a false identity intentionally made to deal with outsiders.

His real name was He Renlie!

Then…

Then, Tian Huaizhao, Qu Riyue, and the others were killed with one strike all at the same time by He Lieren who turned into a dozen black shadows!
