Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 5

Ch 5: Commander Wu

In the Treasure Pavilion, the Jinyiwei warriors can choose suitable cultivation methods to practice, thereby improving their strength.

This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these warriors.

“Yes! Quickly report to Commander Wu.”

Wan Ping said excitedly.

Jiang Chen also knew that time was of the essence. He looked at the top of everyone’s heads and said to the two Jinyiwei with the highest Sin Points, “You, and you, come with me to report to Commander Wu. The others will stay here and guard, don’t let anyone approach.”

“Yes!”

Jiang Chen was agile. He walked out of the inn and leaped onto the steed that originally belonged to Li Chengqi. The horse seemed to sense that this person was not its master and began to act up.

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, and the aura of the Thirteenth Level Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was released. The terrifying aura, like an ancient wild beast, immediately quieted it down.

“Drive!”

With a shout, the steed immediately galloped, instantly taking Jiang Chen towards the Pacification Bureau.

Approximately an hour later, the sound of hooves slowly stopped in front of the Pacification Bureau. In the flying dust, Jiang Chen’s figure appeared particularly upright.

This is the center of power for the Jinyiwei, and also the place where these subordinates report important matters.

“Stop, what are you doing?”

Two guards wearing Jinyiwei uniforms, holding spears, blocked their path, their tone filled with unquestionable authority.

Their eyes swept over Jiang Chen and the others. Obviously, they saw that they were Xiaoqi and didn’t take them seriously at all.

Facing the guard’s inquiry, Jiang Chen did not hesitate at all. He calmly took out his identity token from his bosom, raised it high, and at the same time answered clearly and forcefully, “Jinyiwei warrior Jiang Chen, reporting an urgent military situation. Jinyiwei Zongqi Li Chengqi is secretly colluding with Demonic Monk Jueming, plotting wrongdoing. Please, Commander Wu, quickly go with us to avoid delaying the opportunity!”

Jiang Chen’s words were short and forceful, and in two sentences, he explained the seriousness of the matter vividly.

His voice echoed in front of the Pacification Bureau, attracting the attention of the surrounding pedestrians.

And when the two guards heard the names “Li Chengqi” and “Demonic Monk Jueming,” their expressions also changed slightly.

After a brief silence, one of the guards quickly turned around and ran towards the inside of the Pacification Bureau, obviously to report to Commander Wu.

Commander Wu, who was focused on handling official business in a room filled with documents, instantly turned pale upon hearing the report from his subordinate.

As if a gust of cold wind had suddenly blown through, the pen in his hand involuntarily fell on the table, making a soft “thud.”

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide, his lips tightly pursed, revealing an expression of disbelief.

He quickly strode out of the Pacification Bureau and sternly questioned Jiang Chen, “What did you say! Li Chengqi is secretly colluding with Demonic Monk Jueming?!”

Commander Wu was furious. He repeated Jiang Chen’s words in disbelief, as if to confirm whether he had misheard.

You must know that Li Chengqi, as a Zongqi in the Jinyiwei, had always been a loyal man in his eyes, but now he was suddenly accused of colluding with Demonic Monk Jueming. How could he accept this?

Hearing this, Jiang Chen clasped his hands, leaned his body slightly forward, and said again firmly, “It’s absolutely true! This subordinate saw it with his own eyes. Li Chengqi is not only colluding with Jueming, but also trying to sell out the Jinyiwei in exchange for Demonic Sect elixirs. Please, Lord Commander, quickly go with us to avoid delaying the opportunity and allowing the situation to further deteriorate!”

Hearing this, a look of decisiveness flashed in Commander Wu’s eyes. He took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, then quickly turned around and said to the two Xiaoqi standing in front of him with astonished faces, “Go and call Commander Zhou, Commander Wang, and Li Muqing over!”

“Yes!”

The two Xiaoqi immediately responded and left.

Watching the backs of the two Xiaoqi hurrying away, Commander Wu quickly turned around and strode towards the stable. From the neatly arranged steeds, he carefully selected a precious horse with shiny fur and extraordinary spirit.

Just as Commander Wu mounted his horse and was about to start his journey, hurried footsteps came from afar.

He looked up and saw the other three probationary Battalion Commanders—Commander Zhou, Commander Wang, and Li Muqing—were striding towards him, their faces full of anxiety.

“Lord Wu! Li Chengqi, he…”

Li Muqing spoke first, his tone with a hint of unease.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Commander Wu.

“Stop talking, I’ll know when I see it.”

Commander Wu understood Li Muqing’s feelings. After all, Li Chengqi was Li Muqing’s nephew. If it was really confirmed that Li Chengqi was secretly colluding with the Demonic Sect, then Li Muqing would also be difficult to absolve himself of responsibility, and might even be implicated.

“Hiss…”

Accompanied by a burst of rapid and powerful neighing, Commander Wu pulled on the reins, and the steed’s front hooves rose, steadily stopping in front of the dimly lit wine shop.

Following closely behind, Commander Zhou, Commander Wang, and Li Muqing, Jiang Chen and others also reined in their horses. Their eyes were like torches, their expressions solemn, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

“Chuā!”

The light of the torches cut through the night, illuminating the area around the wine shop as if it were daytime.

It was almost night, and on the street outside the wine shop, several torches were raised high, illuminating everything in the night clearly.

Commander Wu’s face was gloomy, like dark clouds pressing down. He pursed his lips tightly, not saying a word, but strode into the wine shop.

“Lord!”

The Jinyiwei warriors inside the wine shop bowed and saluted upon seeing the arrival of Commander Wu and others, their voices uniform, revealing the respect in their hearts.

Commander Wu just nodded slightly, signaling them not to be too polite, and then his eyes swept around like torches.

Wu Tao’s gaze fell on the two corpses on the ground.

He slowly squatted down and carefully examined Jueming’s wounds.

Under the illumination of the torches, Jueming’s wounds appeared particularly hideous, b*oody, as if he had been stepped on the head by an elephant.

Commander Wu’s brow furrowed, his heart filled with doubt.

“What overbearing True Qi!”

Wu Tao’s brow furrowed, his tone revealing undisguised shock.

He knew very well that Jueming, as a Shaolin disciple, not only had profound True Qi cultivation, but his physical body had also been tempered countless times, as tough as iron. Ordinary people could not hurt him at all.

However, the corpse in front of him told him that Jueming had been struck in the head with a palm, its power astonishing.

“To be able to directly smash his head into this state with one palm, frankly speaking, I can’t do it.”

Wu Tao stood up, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he asked sternly, “Who killed him?”
