"Perfection Level Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger?"
Hu Qing, Luo Wen, and others were already mesmerized.
First, there was the Perfect Celestial Spirit Burning Blood Saber, and now it's the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger; every Martial Arts Wei Fan has mastered seems to be at the Perfection level.
Even the Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Step he just used seems to be at the Perfection Level.
It was relying on this Perfection Level Lightweight Skill that Wei Fan managed to catch up to Zuoqiu and kill him in an instant.
Especially Luo Wen, who remembered clearly that he had only taught Wei Fan these cultivation techniques a few days ago.
"You should have caught up to Lu Tianming by now!"
Zuoqiu and Lu Tianming are both dead, and the Lu Family has no one of significance left. Wei Fan bent down and started rummaging through Zuoqiu's body.
The Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger is not inferior; his Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger had disassembled the Tiger King alive, and when Zuoqiu clashed with him, his fingers were not broken, only the flesh was crushed.
Hu Qing walked over, "Are you looking for the secret manual of the Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger?"
Wei Fan nodded.
Hu Qing said, "That's a Demon Skill. Do you know how the Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger is practiced? To master this Demon Skill, you need to coat your fingers with deadly poison, kill three people each month, and insert all ten fingers into the corpses to continuously gather Evil Qi for twelve hours for three months to achieve Great Success. Hence the name Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger."
Upon hearing that practicing requires killing, Wei Fan instantly lost interest in the Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger.
"However, with the Lu Family wanting to develop into a Martial Arts Family, they should have collected Martial Arts; you can find those. Zuoqiu wasn't only proficient in the Three-Month Condensing Evil Finger. I'll help you check it out."
Hu Qing began participating in the search of the Lu Family.
Wei Fan did not participate; he looked back at Luo Wen who was commanding, "Squad Leader, you see, I didn't kill indiscriminately, just killed Zuoqiu who attacked me."
Luo Wen was speechless!
You did not kill indiscriminately, but Lu Tianming is dead, and his other two sons also died in the clash between you and Zuoqiu. Not a single male member of the Lu Family survived, which is practically akin to exterminating the family.
"You're in command here; I need to go meet the City Lord to report the matter now."
As he spoke, Luo Wen came over and whispered, "Pay attention to the evidence you collect and see if there is proof that any clerk is colluding with the Demon Fiend. If there is, make sure to secure it well."
The deceased weren't ordinary people but the family of East District Clerk Wei Qingyuan's brother-in-law. With things escalating to this point, they've utterly severed ties with Wei Qingyuan, and only by completely taking down Wei Qingyuan will they succeed.
Without evidence of Wei Qingyuan colluding with Demon Fiend, simply asking Wei Qingyuan to watch over E Shen Bang cannot bring him down.
Wei Fan is highly cultivated and doesn't fear retaliation. At worst, he could quit as a constable. With Wei Fan's skills, he can thrive anywhere, but as a Civil Servant, if he doesn't thoroughly take down Wei Qingyuan, he won't fare well in the future.
Luo Wen departed, and Wei Fan began directing the governmental officers to confiscate the property.
The Lu Family wasn't a large noble family with decades or centuries of history. Without many people, and with Lu Tianming and his sons dead, only Lu Tianming's few concubines and his son's concubines remain. With the mainstay lost, these women obediently allowed themselves to be imprisoned by constables, some were even questioned on the spot.
In the Government Office, there are plenty of sly old hands; those who were previously feared now began to take action.
Now that Lu Tianming has been eliminated, everyone knows that to avoid being targeted in the future, the only way is to take down Wei Qingyuan, so he is no longer the East District Clerk.
Unfortunately, no testimony or evidence was found to prove that Wei Qingyuan colluded with Demon Fiend.
"Quick, hide it well; don't let it be seen!"
Hu Qing stealthily returned, secretly handing Wei Fan a few books. Wei Fan, knowing there were many prying eyes, did not check immediately and decided to look later.
After all, with Lu Family members still there, hiding things couldn't be done openly.
This affair is significant today, involving the clerk, ensuring there will be more people coming to take over and interrogate the Lu Family members one by one.
After a while, Luo Wen returned.
He was accompanied by a group of constables, two clerks in official attire, and a Captain, making up significant figures in Yun City.
Interestingly, one of them was East District Clerk Wei Qingyuan. This guy had a small mustache, looked gloomy, with an expression as cold as ice.
"Everyone, return to East District; the clerks and Captain will take over the remaining matters."
Luo Wen gave Wei Fan a significant glance, and Wei Fan understood he was roughly asking if he had found evidence of Wei Qingyuan colluding with Demon Fiend, but could only shake his head lightly.
Wei Qingyuan, being an old hand in officialdom, even if he was colluding with Demon Fiend, wouldn't leave any evidence.
Without tangible evidence, even if Lu Family is proven to have colluded with Demon Fiend and brought them into the city, it would only affect him slightly, not bring about his downfall.
"Uncle, you must seek justice for the Lu Family..."
"Brother-in-law, your elder brother died so miserably..."
...
Seeing Wei Qingyuan appear, a group of Lu Family women went forward crying to lodge a complaint, and after comforting them, Wei Qingyuan approached the corpses of Lu Tianming and others.
"You all... are impressive..."
Wei Qingyuan looked at the tragic deaths of Lu Tianming and his sons, turned back towards Wei Fan and the others, only managed to squeeze a few words after a while.
To him, today's matter wasn't merely about the tragic death of his brother-in-law's family but also the betrayal from his subordinates. Such a matter occurred without even notifying him while they independently slaughtered at Lu's residence. It was clearly an attempt to implicate him as well.
Wei Fan nonchalantly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your praise. These beasts are devoid of humanity; for selfish reasons, they brought Demon Fiend into the city. I am merely performing my duties!"
Was he indeed praising you?
Upon hearing this, the other clerk and Captain glanced towards Wei Fan, their eyes flashing an indescribable sentiment.
Luo Wen's eyelid twitched; you don't have proof of Wei Qingyuan colluding with Demon Fiend and yet dared to provoke him like this.
Wei Qingyuan was obviously provoked; his chest heaved sharply, taking several deep breaths to suppress his inner anger. "So you are Wei Fan. Young man, beware that being too rigid can cause one to break easily."
Wei Fan grinned, "Thank you, Sir, for the reminder. But as long as I am hard enough, I will not break.
Excuse me, My Lords, I take my leave."
Luo Wen also cupped his hands, "My Lords, I take my leave too; there are still a pile of corpses in the East District that need handling. When I return, I'll quickly document everything and submit it. The Crocodile Demon's corpse is still there; you can send someone to the East District to verify at any time."
Bastard!
Wei Qingyuan enigmatically watched Wei Fan and others leave, cursing inwardly.
"Zuoqiu was unexpectedly caught and violently killed; a genius has emerged in the East District, likely to join the Demon Suppression Bureau sooner or later."
Captain Song Jingsong looked at Zuoqiu's corpse with apprehension; being a martial artist himself, he was more concerned with how the expert hired by the Lu Family was defeated.
"We must not antagonize Wei Fan; fairness must be maintained in handling this matter, lest he joins the Demon Suppression Bureau, which would spell trouble for me."
The Demon Suppression Bureau favors ruthless geniuses; lack of such traits, they wouldn't even bother to look.
In a moment of reflection, Song Jingsong knew precisely the attitude he should adopt in handling this matter.
He had interacted with Zuoqiu a few times, and even he, as Captain, was unsure of dealing with Zuoqiu. Yet here he was, having his skull violently smashed by a constable, brain matter scattered everywhere.
As a martial artist, you can offend anyone except this kind of genius unless you are confident you can instantly kill your opponent.
Taking a deep breath, Song Jingsong commanded, "Take back all Lu Family members for questioning!"
Then he turned to Wei Qingyuan, "Wei Clerk, to avoid a conflict of interest, please leave during the subsequent investigations."
Wei Qingyuan's face changed instantly upon realizing that Song Jingsong wouldn't show him any leniency and intended to handle Lu Family matters officially.
