Chapter 36: An Unnamed Night Patroller

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That night, Di Jin’s murder caused a huge commotion in the Night Patrol Division.

Similar killings were not completely non-existent, although there were not many in Golden Cloud City. Even if there were many night patrollers patrolling Golden Cloud City every day, it was impossible for them to keep an eye on every corner of Golden Cloud City.

Usually, when such killings occurred, although the Night Patrol Division would also investigate, they would not investigate too seriously.

After all, the murderer might have left the city on the same day after killing the person. Even if they found out, it would be useless. Unless it was the night patroller who was killed. That would be different.

However, this massacre attracted the attention of the Night Patrol Division.

Because the one who was killed was a bounty hunter from the Senluo Organization!

“Have you confirmed his identity? Is he really a bounty hunter?”

In a hall of the Night Patrol Division, the captains of the A, B, C, and D teams were all gathered here.

“Based on the items on this person and his characteristics, we can confirm that he’s a bounty hunter.” The captain of Team B, who had long and narrow eyes and a black spot on his face, said with certainty.

“According to the preliminary investigation, there’s a high chance that this person infiltrated Golden Cloud City and came for Cen Qingci.” The tall captain of Team C added.

Although Cen Qingci was not the only one on the Genius Bounty List in Golden Cloud City, only Cen Qingci was a new genius on the list.

Coupled with this bounty hunter’s strength and cultivation, it was not difficult to guess who he was hunting. This made the captain of Team A, who had a purple high ponytail, have an ugly expression and feel a lingering fear.

As her night patroller, she knew Cen Qingci very well. She knew that Cen Qingci was not vigilant. If the mysterious person had not dealt with this bounty hunter, Cen Qingci would probably have been doomed.

“The most important thing now is to find out who killed this bounty hunter as soon as possible.” The captain of Team B pondered.

“From the situation at the scene, it’s very likely that this bounty hunter was cut in half with a single slash. Only a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist can do this. At the same time, we can eliminate the possibility that the other party is not one of us. If it was done by us, there’s no need to hide. Killing a bounty hunter is a huge contribution.”

“Could it be that the members of the Senluo Organization are rebelling against each other?”

Just as the three captains were making guesses,

Team D’s captain, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up and turned to walk out.

This stunned the other three captains.

“What are you doing?”

The captain of Team D turned around and smiled. “Instead of making wild guesses here, why don’t we report this matter to the director-general and let him decide?”

...

After returning to his room, although Xiao Shi could not see the situation with the four captains, he could imagine that this matter would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Night Patrol Division.

He was not worried that he would be exposed. From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal any flaws. In the eyes of everyone, he was just an ordinary night patroller of Team D.

No one would pay attention to an ordinary night patroller.

“These bounty hunters... aren’t very strong!”

Xiao Shi recalled the entire killing process. He even felt that he had used too much strength. Even without using the mark formed by the black inkstone, he could still kill him with one strike.

After all, Di Jin’s blood and qi were already unstable under the explosion of his mark. He would definitely not be able to withstand a full-powered slash from him. This also reduced the threat that the bounty hunter gave him.

When he first heard Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan mention bounty hunters, Xiao Shi was still afraid of them.

However, after exchanging blows, he realized that was all!

The reason why he thought so was because he had completely restrained the bounty hunter this time.

The strength of bounty hunters usually came from their sneak attacks.

To ordinary people, these bounty hunters were like venomous snakes lurking in the dark. They would always explode when they were at their weakest and least prepared, killing them with a single strike.

However, when Xiao Shi used the [Enemy Seeking Talisman] to turn him from a hunter to a prey, the advantage of a bounty hunter no longer existed.

“Let’s see what treasure this guy dropped!” Xiao Shi rubbed his hands in anticipation.

He opened his Storage Bag. He took out the item that the other party had dropped after death. It was a palm-sized mushroom.

[Name: Ice Crystal Mushroom]

[Type: Treasures of Heaven and Earth]

[Grade: Martial Entry-Level]

[Introduction: It looks like a button mushroom and has the effect of strengthening the organs in the body.]

[Remark: It will constantly produce ice crystals in your body. Do not use it without a strong physical body.]

...

Indeed, only powerful Martial Entry-Level martial artists could easily drop heavenly treasures!

Xiao Shi was overjoyed. The last time he dropped heavenly treasure was when he killed a seventh-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist.

This time, it was Martial Entry-Level Eight. It could be seen from these two kills that Martial Entry-Level martial artists above Level Seven had a high chance of dropping heavenly treasures.

As long as he killed more Martial Entry-Level martial artists with such strength, he believed that it would not be difficult for him to gather nine sets of heavenly treasures and complete nine body tempering sessions.

Under such a drop mechanism, martial artists below the seventh stage of the Martial Entry-Level suddenly did not smell so good.

Although there was also a chance that heavenly treasures and other high-quality items would drop, the probability was very small.

It was still faster to kill martial artists above Martial Entry-Level Seven.

Xiao Shi picked up the entire [Ice Crystal Mushroom], his eyes shining with excitement. According to the records of the Body Tempering Technique, the Nine Vajra Body, for the nine body temperings in the Martial Entry-Level, there would be some additional changes and improvements every three successful body temperings.

He really wanted to know what kind of change and improvement it was!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately started his third body tempering through the [Ice Crystal Mushroom] in his hand.

...

...

At the same time, in a study room in the Night Patrol Division.

The captain of Team D stood at the side with his hands by his side. He had already reported this matter to the director of the Night Patrol Division.

The director of the Night Patrol Division was over 40 years old. He had phoenix eyes, thick eyebrows, and a beard that exuded the charm of a mature man. He was elegant and dignified. His powerful cultivation that surpassed the Martial Entry-Level made Golden Cloud City as stable as a rock.

After hearing the captain’s report, he picked up his teacup and gently blew on the hot tea. He took a sip and said calmly.

“There’s no need to investigate. Since the other party is unwilling to appear, he must have his reasons. To be able to kill a bounty hunter who reached Martial Realm Level Eight with one slash and disappear without a trace in an extremely short period of time, this is not something an ordinary Level Nine Martial Entry-Level martial artist can do.

“Since the other party has no intention of showing himself, if we forcefully find him, we will offend the other party. It’s not appropriate to make enemies with such an expert. We should express our goodwill to them.”

The captain of Team D nodded and asked curiously. “What should we do?”

The director took a sip of tea. “Other than us, the Senluo Organization must also want to know who killed their bounty hunter. Since that’s the case, let’s help this expert distract them. Later, you will announce to the public that the person who killed the bounty hunter was an unnamed night patroller.

“On the one hand, it can disrupt the vision of Senluo. On the other hand, we can also use this name to make the Senluo Organization wary of us.”

The captain’s eyes lit up. He could not help but praise the director-general for his good plan.

...

They all knew that the possibility of this mysterious expert being a night patroller was almost zero. If they announced to the public that the other party was a night patroller, it would be very useful to help this expert, disrupt the opponent’s vision, and win his favor.

At the same time, he could also tell the Senluo Organization that there was a mysterious expert in the Night Patrol Division who specialized in killing bounty hunters.
