nHe looked up and scanned the body. Sure enough, he found that the body had been searched.

nHis clothes were in a mess, his sleeves were rolled out, and even his hair was disheveled. It was a pity that he had been carefully searched.

nHis personal belongings were scattered around the corpse, such as the abomination immortal token, secret cultivation medicine, and accessories.

nThe most important thing was that Xia qingchen had discovered a money card!

nThis meant that the person who killed him did not do it for the finance department, but for another purpose!

nXia qingchen’s heart sank. He went forward to search her, but he couldn’t find a single letter!

nWhen qushi Xian escaped, he must have taken more than one or two letters with him.

nNow that they were all missing, it was easy to imagine where they were.

n“Who is it?” Xia qingchen clenched his fists. Who could predict the path of the abomination immortal’s escape in advance and kill him?

nJudging from the injuries and expressions of the deceased, he was killed by a surprise attack without any preparation.

nThe murderer must be an acquaintance of the victim.

nWhy did he take the letter away? Would it be a threat to the moon Pearl?

nJust as he was in deep thought, Xia qingchen suddenly caught a glimpse of the mouth and nose of the deceased, which were covered by his messy hair, and felt a little familiar.

nXia qingchen brushed aside the corpse’s messy hair, revealing its true appearance. He couldn’t help but be astonished.”It’s him?”

nWhen they came out of Liangzhou city, they encountered a Dark Moon ship that was trying to hijack them.

nThe man in front of him was one of them.

nHe didn’t expect that all the crew members would die, but this person was lucky enough to escape and live until now.

nAs he stared at him, Xia qingchen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

n“His face …” Xia qingchen pondered for a moment. His fingers pinched two inches below the corpse’s chin, and the corpse’s mouth naturally opened.

nThere was a ball of oil paper the size of a baby in his mouth.

nHe took out the oil paper and opened it, revealing a rolled-up note inside.

nAfter unfurling it, Xia qingchen’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

nThe person who had written the note was none other than the purple-eyed witch!

nThe people of the Dark Moon branch attached great importance to the purple-eyed witch’s letter, so they hid it alone and were not found by the murderer.

n“Yue Mingzhu, you really can’t let me rest easy.” Xia qingchen chided in a funny manner. He then read the contents of the note in detail.

nAfter reading it, Xia qingchen’s brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

n“Do you really want to walk to the end of the Dark Moon path?” Xia qingchen murmured.

nOn the letter, Yue Mingzhu, in the name of the purple-eyed witch, had issued a notice to all the branches in the Liang Kingdom.

nThe branches that had received the letter sent a representative to meet her at heart locking cliff in may.

nFrom the looks of it, she was preparing to combine the Dark Moon’s power and go all out.

nStaring at the piece of paper before him, Xia qingchen’s palm slowly clenched. After that, his star power vibrated, and when he opened his palm again, there was only a piece of paper left.

nA gust of wind blew, sending the paper scraps flying in all directions.

nOne of the scraps of paper was swept back by a gust of wind and fell on a young man in black.

nHe glanced at the corpse on the ground, then at the paper scraps that Xia qingchen had shattered. His gaze was extremely complicated.

nXia qingchen sensed something and turned his head. Gongsun Wuji and Xinyuan’s figures entered his vision.

nGongsun Wuji stared at Xia qingchen and said, “”Why did you shatter the enemy’s letter?”

nHe just happened to witness everything!

nThe note was so specially preserved that it was most likely a letter written by the purple-eyed witch.

nThere should be some extremely important information inside, but Xia qingchen had actually shattered it.

nWhat was he up to?

n“I have a clear conscience,” Xia qingchen replied calmly.

nHe didn’t like to explain, especially when he couldn’t explain himself.

nFrom Gongsun Wuji’s and Xinyuan’s perspectives, no matter how they looked at it, Xia qingchen was the one who killed them to silence them. At the same time, he destroyed the purple-eyed demoness’s letter to hide her traces.

nIf she didn’t want to believe him, no matter how she explained it, it would be useless.

nIf he believed her, the explanation would be unnecessary.

nGongsun Wuji clenched his fist, then slowly put it down.

nIf someone else had said this, he would have answered with his fist and sent them to the hall of Military Justice.

nHowever, would Xia qingchen, that righteous young man who had once wiped out all the bandits by himself, be in cahoots with Dark Moon?

nHe didn’t believe it.

n“Just pretend I didn’t see this.” Gongsun Wuji turned around and walked away through the grass. “Also, I have a surprise for you. I hope you like it.”

nSurprise?

nXia qingchen was astonished. What was it?

nThe group carried the corpses and returned to the capital. They were warmly welcomed by the Northwest Legion.

nOnly in Yu guitian’s tent, his face was as cold as ice.

nThere was a thick stack of letters in front of him. He took out one of them. He didn’t write, only a strange symbol.

nIf a master was here, he would be able to recognize that the handwriting on the envelope was exactly the same as Yu guitian’s.

n“The letter has been taken back.” Yu guitian heaved a sigh of relief and crushed the letter, ” if we can kill him with a borrowed knife and get rid of Xia qingchen, it’s very worth it to take the risk and communicate with the Dark Moon.

nThis was the reason why the branches had grasped Xia qingchen and Gongsun Wuji’s movements in advance!

nit’s time to give the order to collect Xia qingchen’s corpse. Hehe … While he was thinking, a soldier said happily, “”Milord, good news! Good news!”

n“Speak clearly!” Yu guitian said expressionlessly.

nHis heart skipped a beat as he had a bad feeling.

nit’s Lord Gongsun and Lord Xia’s great victory! They’ve successfully annihilated the Dark Moon’s branch! The soldier said excitedly.

nYu guitian stood there with a stiff expression. What he was afraid of came true!

n“Xia qingchen is still alive? I mean, how’s his condition?” Yu guitian couldn’t believe it.

nUnder the situation where the Dark Moon’s branch had set up an ambush in advance, they were still able to let Xia qingchen and Gongsun Wuji obtain a great victory.

n“Lord Xia, he …” The soldier hesitated.

nYu guitian’s eyes changed and his heart was in his throat, “”How is he?”

nCould it be that Xia qingchen had met with a mishap?

n“He’s fine.” “The report says that Lord Xia is unscathed,” the soldier said with a strange expression.

nTo be exact, it was strange that there were no casualties among the soldiers.

nYu guitian’s heart sank heavily. He swept the letters on the table and scolded, “”Get lost!”

nHe found it hard to accept that the Great Tribulation he had given Xia qingchen was actually resolved so easily by the other party?

nHis chest heaved up and down violently, and it took a long time before it gradually subsided.

n“Hmph! I, Yu guitian, can’t kill you, a mere thousand cricket cavalry?” Yu guitian said gloomily.

nOne day later.

nXia qingchen and Gongsun Wuji returned to the capital.

nFrom ten miles away, one could see the banners and gongs at the entrance of the camp, as if they were welcoming something.

n“Isn’t the military too enthusiastic about our operation?” Gongsun Wuji asked in surprise.

nHe had to admit that he had ordered his men to deliver the good news first.

nHowever, they had not expected the Northwest Legion to welcome their triumphant return with such great fanfare.

n“But this is better.” Gongsun Wuji rode forward on his horse and said in high spirits, “”Brother Xia, get ready to welcome the surprise I’ve prepared for you!”

nHe had already ordered Xinyuan to dye half of the corpses with another color, giving Xia qingchen more than half of the credit.

nFurthermore, in the report, he had clearly stated that the misty cloud battle group had half of the credit.

nLater on, when the military affairs Hall announced this great victory, Xia qingchen would definitely be so shocked that he wouldn’t be able to close his mouth, right?

n(I’m busy tonight. I’ll update tomorrow morning.)
