Chapter 646: Chapter 531: Want Evidence of Guilt? (Seeking Monthly Passes)_1

"Impudent!" Luo Yan’s hand rested on her waist knife, her face turning unspeakably awful, her eyes filled with an ominous glow.

At this moment, she sensed several gazes filled with mocking and scrutiny from within the courtyard, watching them from a distance.

Luo Yan realized that the person who had spoken in the courtyard was aware of Li Xuan’s and her identities.

This made Luo Yan into uncontrollable rage, almost drawing her sword on the spot.

Even if she herself were subject to such humiliation, Luo Yan wouldn’t react like this. However, she couldn’t stand anyone belittling and humiliating Li Xuan.

Li Xuan’s gaze also tightened slightly, glaring intensely at the depths of the small courtyard. He stretched out his hand, placing it on Luo Yan’s shoulder, stopping her from drawing her sword.

"Interesting- ," the corners of Li Xuan’s lips rose slightly, and then he stepped forward.

In that moment, the entire wall of the courtyard in front of him collapsed with a shocking rumble, turning into dust. The old madam standing in front of him suddenly felt the weight of pressure of a mountain descending on her, and she knelt in place without any resistance.

The domineering pressure emanating from Li Xuan made the old madam’s whole body crackle, as though her muscles and bones were making crunching sounds, and her blood was racing, causing her eyes to be covered with a layer of bloodshot.

The old madam suspected that her body might explode and shatter in the next moment.

Behind the courtyard wall was a small, refined and elegant two-story wooden building.

At this point, the front door of the wooden building was also caught in the surge, with energies intertwining

Two spiritual consciousnesses and two different sword intents were clashing around the door as the center. This made the wooden door continuously emit ’plopping’ sounds.

As time went on, planks of wood under the clash and collision of the two sword intents were shattered into pieces. Furthermore, streaks of flame and thunderbolt were spreading around the wooden door.

Li Xuan, however, was leisurely watching the scene with a hint of mockery.

The one in the loft who was crossing swords with him in the air was undoubtedly a top-tier heavenly level powerhouse. The true understanding of her Martial Law had reached the ’Hun level,’ and her Divine Consciousness was also extremely strong.

Li Xuan shouldn’t be able to fight this powerhouse. Even though his understanding of Martial Law was complemented by the majestic aura of the ’Purple Air’ realm, he was still not at a disadvantage against Heavenly level; Even though his Divine Consciousness was relatively formidable, exceeding ordinary cultivators by tenfold.

But Li Xuan’s Primordial Spirit hadn’t reached the stage of ’Yin God Turning Yang,’ so he couldn’t compete against the Heavenly level in terms of quality.

The problem was that destruction is always much easier than construction. The power that overflowed just from their two sword intents clashing was more than this small wooden building could bear.

With one of the windows on the left of the wooden door also exploded into several sections due to the collision of the two sword intents.

"Insolent!" With this angry snort from inside the small building, the vast and mighty sword intent began shifting from the wooden door, directly attacking Li Xuan’s Primordial Spirit and body.

Li Xuan almost instantly felt a stabbing pain in his Primordial Spirit as if pierced by countless needles. The part of his Primordial Spirit enveloped by Divine Consciousness was also being annihilated, gradually breaking down.

General Liang Heng’s sword intent was ’Annihilation’ and ’Penetration.’ which made Liang Heng invincible on the northern battlefield. Once he borrowed the terrain, he was able to suppress the Vala Khan, Yexian, for several hours and also to resist the Vala General, Alachien.

Without any hesitation, Li Xuan activated Li Zhetian’s ’Void Blade’ to turn the enemy’s ’Annihilation’ and ’Penetration’ into nothingness.

This made his right hand’s ’Wuqu Pojun’ emit a cool light.

At this point, Li Xuan had slain several Heavenly-level beings, and through this, he grasped several Hun-level martial intents. Like for instance, Liu Zongquan’s martial intent ’Six-winged Golden Cicada’. Although Liu Zongquan died from the Extinguishing God Needle, ’Wuqu Pojun’ managed to devour part of his soul essence.

Among these few Hun-level martial intents, Li Zhetian’s Void Blade was still the most useful.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden door finally shattered into dust, and it was immediately swept away by the flames and thunderbolts summoned by Li Xuan.

The scene inside the wooden building finally appeared before Li Xuan.

The first floor of the house wasn’t big, covering approximately thirty square meters. In the middle stood a round table filled with a feast of dishes. Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi, Huangfu Xuanji, Liang Yuan of the Liudao Division, and General Zhenshuo Liang Heng all sat around it, each occupying a direction. There was a girl next to each of them. However, the rosy color had drained from their charming faces, turning them pale.

Li Xuan had met the other three people in the room, but it was his first time seeing General Zhenshuo Liang Heng.

Just as rumored, this General was almost ten feet tall, dignified and towering, wide-faced and heavy-jowled, with strong muscles and a towering back, his face like a jujube and lips like red grease.

His younger brother, Liang Yuan, was already extremely burly, but General Zhenshuo Liang Heng was even one size bigger.

This man sat there as though he was an ancient beast crouching in the place with domineering and unmatched ferocity.

And this beast was staring at Li Xuan with eyes that seemed ready to devour him: "Li Xuan, the Imperial Guard of the left Shenji battalion? You are incredibly bold."

The Imperial Guard of the left Shenji battalion was Li Xuan’s rank in the Jingying, subordinate to the ’Left Dudu’ of Jingying.

Li Xuan, however, ignored him. He resisted the suppression of Liang Heng’s sword intent and walked in with a smile, "The old madam didn’t lie, not expecting that Prince Xiang and the others are indeed here. It seems that I have disturbed your enjoyment. But I’m here on official business, so I beg your indulgence. Who among you is Li Yueer?"

His gaze swept over several women, eventually falling on a girl in green clothes beside Liang Heng.

Li Xuan had seen this girl’s appearance in the memory of Bang Zhengyi.

Indeed, she was a very attractive woman, with a graceful temperament, no wonder she was able to become the leader here at WanYue House.

General Liang Heng’s face had regained its calm, but the fiery anger in his eyes had almost become substantial. He held a glass of wine in one hand and rested the other on his knife: "Is this how you speak to your superiors? When I told you to get lost, didn’t you hear me?"

"Superior?" Luo Yan sneered from behind Li Xuan: "By the Emperor’s decree, Princess Changle is in charge of the country and has direct jurisdiction over the left Shenji battalion. What kind of superior do you consider yourself to be?"

Ignoring the words of Liang Heng, Li Xuan turned to Li Yueer, "Leader Li, accompany me to the yamen for a while. I have some questions to ask you."

Li Yueer looked terrified, her body trembling slightly, and her pale face attempting to rise from her seat.

However, as soon as she had just stood halfway up, Liang Heng next to her huffed, "Sit down."

Under the impact of his Zhenyuan, Li Yueer, who seemed to have lost all her strength, slumped back down.

But the glance that sweeped over Li Xuan and the others afterwards was imbued with a certain unusual sheen, seemingly carrying a hint of mockery.

Liang Heng sipped his tea in an indifferent manner: "Sit down and relax. It will be interesting to see who can take you away from WanYue House."

Only then did Li Xuan turn his gaze to Liang Heng. As they locked eyes, it was as if a swordfight was taking place, with countless flashes of electric sparks.

Without losing the smile on his face, Li Xuan gripped his knife: "Is General Liang trying to obstruct my investigation?"

Luo Yan suddenly perked up, realising that Li Xuan was ready to act.

She had run out of patience and immediately pulled out her pair of Hongxiu knives.

"So what if I’m obstructing you? Do you want to fight?"

A hint of mockery and anticipation appeared in Liang Heng’s eyes: "The rumored Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife of Jing City is wielded by your pair of homosexuals, right? It’s said that your Yin-Yang Divine Saber is invincible, and even in the heavenly level, few can overcome you. I just wonder if you can take a few of my moves under the face of me-"

"Hold on!"

Before Liang Heng could finish, Prince Xiang, Yu Zhanshan, who was sitting next to him, stood up with a bitter smile: "My lord, please hold back. Please calm your anger, General! Both of you are pillars of the court, why cause such a scene?"

He then looked at Li Xuan, his expression simultaneously helpless and meaningful: "Marquis of Guanjun, it’s no wonder that the general is upset. This is, after all, the General’s property, and he rarely finds leisure from his busy public duties, rarely finds the time to treat us here.

"If you were in his shoes, Marquis of Guanjun, you too might be furious. Unless it’s a pressing matter, why not come back later? I would be most grateful if you could save me the embarrassment."

Li Xuan gave a nonchalant look to Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshan: "This woman is involved in the case of the Crown Prince’s sudden illness. Prince Xiang, are you sure you want to intervene?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhanshan paused, then slowly sat down, saying no more.

Liang Heng’s pupils also contracted slightly, but soon after, he laughed dismissively: "Ridiculous! You claim she is involved in the Crown Prince’s sudden illness? Do you have solid evidence?"

Looking at Li Xuan, his gaze sharpened: "If you can’t produce the evidence, not only you won’t be able to take her away, I will also demand an explanation in front of the Emperor and Jianguo!"

Li Xuan sensed Liang’s intensifying Shi of the sword. The divine consciousness and sword intent of the two further clashed at a close distance, causing the ground beneath Li Xuan’s feet to sink slightly.

Around them, there was a soft crackling noise as porcelain bowls, window trims, and tea tables on either side exploded into dust.

Luo Yan was also affected by Liang Heng’s Shi of the sword, but she was not the primary target, so her response was somewhat more relaxed than Li Xuan’s.

At this moment, her clothes fluttered and her aura was divine, as if a sinful fairy had descended.

"You want evidence, huh?" Li Xuan laughed involuntarily, then turned to look at Li Yueer, his ’Tao-protecting Eyes’ noticing that although she looked even more panic-stricken and pale, deep within her eyes, her emotions remained calm. Also, that hint of mockery had become clearer.

On the corners of Li Xuan’s lips, a slight smile flickered. "In addition to being implicated in the Crown Prince’s sudden illness case, this woman is also involved in the ’Shence guard’ embezzlement case. The accused stated that for the past two years, all the silver coins he had embezzled were given to Leader Li. This man, Leader Li, you should recognize him. His name is Fan Yuan, and he’s a hereditary Baihu of the Shence guard. He also claimed that he embezzled the army’s money due to being seduced by Leader Li. Since I’m a judge of the Central Army, I have to take her back to the Yamen for further questioning."

In fact, the accused Baihu of the Shence guard testified that, ’he couldn’t resist Li Yueer’s temptation and, obsessed with her day and night, he finally decided to misappropriate the army’s money.’

But with that statement, Li Xuan had a legitimate reason.

Li Yueer was stunned, obviously not expecting Li Xuan to use this as an excuse.

She then trembling with anger. She recognized this Fan Yuan, but who would tempt him to steal from the army?

Liang Heng was also slightly taken aback, followed by an outburst of anger: "What kind of evidence is this? You dare to capture people for such a trivial case in my presence?"

Li Xuan sighed, "So, General Liang, you still wish to hinder my investigation?"

At this point, his Dari Knife had been unsheathed, revealing a blazing white flame.
