Nine Realms Sword Emperor
Chapter 835 - 836 Inspector

Chapter 835: Chapter 836 Inspector

"What? You killed the Blood Sword Demon Venerable?"

The Family Head of the Gu Clan was somewhat surprised upon hearing Gu Jin’s words and looked towards Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian’s realm, although at the peak of the life-and-death realm, was higher than the Blood Sword Demon Venerable.

However, the Blood Sword Demon Venerable was an extremely troublesome figure. More than one martial artist at the peak of the life-and-death realm had died at his hands, and even some ancestral masters beyond life and death who acted against him had failed to capture him.

Such a difficult demon lord, now dead at the hands of Chu Fengmian?

The Family Head of the Gu Clan, upon gazing at Chu Fengmian, quietly scanned his body with a spiritual sense, seemingly trying to discern his background.

Ordinary martial artists at the peak of life and death would certainly not be able to escape the Family Head’s spiritual sense, but Chu Fengmian was no ordinary person; his realm couldn’t even be seen through by the mysterious dean nearing the ninth step of life and death in the undying realm.

"Hmm?"

The Family Head’s spiritual sense swept over, but it nearly couldn’t perceive anything from Chu Fengmian, and his eyes momentarily revealed a hint of shock.

A martial artist in the life-and-death realm who could avoid his spiritual sense was rare. This kind of power was unfathomable and far from that of ordinary martial artists at the peak of life-and-death. No wonder Chu Fengmian was able to kill the Blood Sword Demon Venerable.

The Family Head of the Gu Clan looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke.

"Quite impressive, young man. Such young talents are indeed scarce in the Middle Domain. You killed the Blood Sword Demon Venerable, removing a harm from us in Zhongzhou and saving my daughter; you have shown kindness to my Gu Clan. Tell me, what do you want in return?"

"Father, Senior Chu came to Ningzhou Ancient City this time intending to purchase some spiritual medicine. Let me handle this."

Gu Jin quickly interjected, looking at Chu Fengmian and spoke.

"Senior Chu, please stay in Ningzhou Ancient City for a few days to rest and relax."

"Alright."

Chu Fengmian nodded and replied.

The Nine Domains’ Genius Battle was still some time away, and Chu Fengmian was not in a hurry.

The sacred medicine that Chu Fengmian needed wouldn’t be found overnight, so staying a few days wouldn’t hurt.

"Please, Senior Chu."

Gu Jin led Chu Fengmian to an inn.

"The Second Young Lady has returned. We were quite worried when she left to slay the demon, having gone out to search multiple times."

Suddenly a few figures approached from a distance; four young men in total, all dressed in luxurious robes, displaying their noble status, each of them quite powerful.

Chu Fengmian glanced over and immediately recognized that these four individuals had at least reached the pinnacle of the life-and-death realm.

To achieve the peak of life-and-death at such a young age would make them a small but notable talent within any influence.

The young man leading them bore some resemblance to Gu Jin, appearing to be a member of the Gu Clan as well, and spoke with a light smile.

"When the Second Young Lady left last time, we failed to persuade her to stay; it’s partly our responsibility, but thankfully she returned unharmed."

"Gu Quan, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing this group, Gu Jin’s expression slightly changed, showing no delight but rather hints of anger in her eyes.

"Naturally, I came to welcome the Second Young Lady. And it’s said that someone saved her this time, so we also came to see who it was."

A martial artist behind Gu Quan spoke coldly.

"As Inspectors of Ningzhou Ancient City, we naturally need to see who rescued the Second Young Lady and make sure he’s not an outside spy."

As he spoke, his eyes were already fixed on Chu Fengmian, seemingly wanting to see through his origins. This gaze was full of hostility, treating Chu Fengmian as if he was a spy.

"This gentleman seems quite unfamiliar. Who are you and what brings you to Ningzhou Ancient City?"

The martial artist looked at Chu Fengmian, speaking as if issuing an order, as if interrogating him.

"Inspector?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered. He was not unfamiliar with this title.

The Middle Domain, dominated by the Seven Great Sects, had disciples stationed in various cities and forces to act as Inspectors, ensuring no one dared oppose the Seven Great Sects.

Ningzhou Ancient City, though located on the edge of the Middle Domain, couldn’t escape the observation of the Seven Great Sects.

The martial artist before him, from his aura, Chu Fengmian could immediately recognize as a disciple of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

And the other two Inspectors behind him were disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and Gai Yue Canyon, respectively.

These three martial artists were the eyes of the Three Great Sects in Ningzhou Ancient City, monitoring every move here.

However, it was clear that they were entangled with the Gu Clan disciples, with intentions beyond mere oversight, targeting Chu Fengmian.

"Huang Tixue, don’t go too far! This is Ningzhou Ancient City! Senior Chu is my lifesaver, and you still wish to question him?"

As Chu Fengmian was contemplating, Gu Jin spoke sharply to the Inspector named Huang Tixue.

"This matter does not require your intervention."

"Second Young Lady, you are mistaken. As Inspectors, we must question any martial artist with unknown origins entering Ningzhou Ancient City. This is our duty."

The Ancient Desolate Sect disciple, Huang Tixue, arrogantly replied.

"Moreover, with so many recent developments in the Middle Domain, numerous disciples have defected from Nine Moons City, becoming demon lords. Many of them have infiltrated Zhongzhou, so we must thoroughly interrogate martial artists with unclear origins!"

"Indeed, boy, tell us, who are you really? Are you one of the demon lords of Nine Moons City?"

The Inspector from the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at Chu Fengmian, speaking coldly.

"The way he hides himself, he must be a demon lord from Nine Moons City!"

"If you don’t speak, don’t blame us for being impolite! We’ll capture him and interrogate him well!"

The Inspector from Gai Yue Canyon also spoke coldly.

A surge of spiritual power erupted, all locking onto Chu Fengmian, ready to strike him down in an instant.

"Gu Quan, don’t go too far; Senior Chu is a guest of our Gu Clan!"

Gu Jin looked at Gu Quan, who stood at the forefront, and spoke coldly.

She naturally knew whose fault all of this was.
