Chapter 54: Blue Cards

smoke, turning into black ash.Zheng Shangming left Ganma Mountain drenched in cold sweat. Thinking back on their previous encounter, he felt a growing sense of fear and anger.The most elite unit in th...Unlike the State of Zhuang, the State of Qi did not establish a separate institution to handle extraordinary cases.

But no matter what kind of case, the government office handles it uniformly.

Officials and constables from various regions, ranging from ordinary to extraordinary levels, have different ranks and enjoy distinct resources.

Rank is not determined by cultivation, but by the level of cases broken. For example, if one breaks through three Tenglong Realm cases, they can be promoted to a sixth-rank head catcher. Because extraordinary rank catchers all have blue waist badges, different from the ordinary black ones, people often call them Blue Badge Catchers.

Because of this promotion rule, Qi State's headhunters are usually stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same realm. Of course, there are also cases where cultivators with insufficient cultivation can solve cross-level cases. This is extremely rare, and they usually possess some extraordinary secret skills that allow them to excel in solving cases far beyond their own cultivation level.

Lin Youxie was such a young officer.

He was only at the sixth rank Tenglong realm, yet he had solved cases involving five-rank Neifu realm cultivators and above six times!

Here's the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is common knowledge that cultivators of the Inner Palace level, even when committing atrocities, rarely conceal their actions. Moreover, they possess countless methods for destroying evidence, making it virtually impossible to trace them.

Throughout the entire nation of Qi, over the course of a year, the number of cases related to the inner palace that piled up in the government offices would not exceed twenty.

If my cultivation level wasn't lacking, I wouldn't need to call for backup every time during an arrest. Now, it's not just the Five-Rank Capture Head anymore.

At this time, the person was standing in front of a dilapidated small courtyard in a small town at the northernmost point of Fenxian County.

A circle of six-rank blue-card captors trailed behind her, quickly dispersing to surround the small courtyard. There was also a five-rank captor, a true inner mansion realm cultivator, standing beside her.

Yes, the renowned Divine Hunter Lin Youxie is a woman. For generations, the Lin family have made a living from law enforcement and punishment. Now, after three generations of single heirs, only one daughter remains.

I thought the ancestral craft would just be lost, but I didn't expect Lin Youxie to surpass his master.

“Captain Lin, are you sure the culprit is in here” The Imperial Guard captain beside her, a stern-faced middle-aged man, couldn't help but ask, “It’s been so many days now. If we still can’t find the perpetrator, we’ll all be in trouble.”

This time, they were investigating the massacre of the Zhang family in Fengxian.

To be able to dispatch two fifth-rank Qingpai captains to investigate this case, it certainly wouldn't be someone from Fengxian County who could do so.

The one who truly exerted himself was the eleventh prince, Jiang Wuqì. Though young, he acted with great grandeur and resembled the current emperor most closely.

He handled the case in Phoenix Fairy County not only to win over Zhang Yong, but also to demonstrate the Jiang Dynasty's unwavering commitment to honoring its old meritorious officials. His actions were strategic and aimed at strengthening not just himself, but the entire imperial family's influence. He possessed a grand vision.

Lin Youxie wore a light blue headscarf and stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a refreshing young man.

Upon hearing this, he merely said, "Is the formation ready Are we certain that the battle will not affect the surroundings"

"No problem."

She said lightly, "Then go in and arrest him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated and directly broke down the door with his sword.

The entire courtyard, starting from the gate, split in half.

The door to the shack creaked open, and dust filled the air.

Many veteran captains poured in.

However, all that could be seen was one person sitting cross-legged alone in the dilapidated house.

But upon seeing him, his face was covered in scars, hideous and terrifying.

His aura was faint but clearly that of a cultivator at the Inner Palace realm.

But he just sat there, quietly watching outside the courtyard: "Lin Youxie truly lives up to his reputation. So you found him after all..."

His voice was also strange, rough and difficult, with a flat and unemotional tone. You couldn't hear his original voice at all.

"Why bother" Lin Youxie asked.

But she did not get an answer.

Right before these experienced gambling lords, this person exploded!

As a powerful martial artist of the Inner Palace realm, one could easily govern an entire city. Wherever he went, he would be a respected and powerful figure.

Even upon discovery, it chose to self-destruct.

Even the seasoned card sharks in attendance were taken aback by this.

"What's going on here" the stern-faced head of the Imperial Palace Guard asked.

“Take care of his body and give it to that child of Phoenix Zhang’s. This case is closed.” Lin Youxie sighed: “He was the one who slaughtered the entire Zhang clan of Phoenix.”

“But…”, the head of the Imperial Court Guard asked, “Why”

Lin Youxie shook his head, turned around and walked away.

"I'm only responsible for finding the killer. As for the story behind it all, I can't find the answers."

Yang Guo, Rizhao County, Jiacheng.

The vein of azure stone controlled by the Chongxuan family is located within this city domain.

Before entering the Yang Kingdom, Jiang Wang had already sent back the carriage driver of Chong Xuan's family.

He didn't want to arrive in Jiaceng directly as the envoy of the Chongxuan family. Besides a facade of peace, he wouldn't see anything else.

The situation in Yang Guo was quite similar to that of Zhuang Guo, a place where ferocious beasts roamed.

Official roads connect the cities within the country. On these official roads, beast-repelling formations are engraved at intervals. Wild areas are all dangerous places.

Jiang Wang stopped on a small hill in the wilderness.

At the start, when I was just roaming the Pulse Realm, I could move freely among ferocious beasts.

Given his current abilities, he would be safe as long as he wasn't surrounded by a large pack of ferocious beasts.

What is considered dangerous is merely relative to the average person.

What's most eye-catching is probably his youthful white hair. As a vassal state of Qi, Yang Guo would likely be very interested in the affairs of the Heavenly Vault Secret Realm. It's possible someone might guess his origins through this white hair, and thus understand his intentions.

Before officially starting the plan, he needed to conceal something.

Now, Jiang Wang possesses a Longevity Pill that grants one year of extended life and a Fruit of Longevity that adds ten years to one's lifespan.

The reason he hadn't swallowed it before was that he wanted to continue feeling the state of aging in order to facilitate the completion of his Three Swords Style's final sword.

Since he has already inevitably aged once, he should use this state to his advantage.

Now that he sensed the strike was imminent, there was no need to hold back any longer.

First, swallow the Longevity Pill.

This elixir is made from the powdered tortoise shell of the guardian beast of the nation. The giant beast's combat strength is close to that of the Void Truth realm, a true treasure throughout its body.

Master Zhao Cang of the Great Yu nation surely has even more effective Longevity Pills, but that is none of Jiang Wang's concern.

Nian Dan has no taste, and after swallowing it, there is a warm feeling that ends soon.

Then Jiang Wang swallowed the Shouguo whole. The fruit melted in his mouth, cool and sweet. It slid down his throat like a thread, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

He could even clearly feel that his energy and spirit had been replenished.

The enhancement of his abilities naturally led to an extension of his lifespan, further supplemented by the elixirs of longevity and fruits of immortality. At this point, his lifespan was almost on par with what it had been before he used the White Bone Escape Technique.

Of course, the regret is that even if he takes them again, the Longevity Pills and Fruit of Immortality will be useless because they have already achieved the same effect.

At this time, Jiang Wang felt his scalp was a little itchy, so he simply brushed it with his hand, wiping away all the white hair on his head.

A sheet of water mirrored in front of him, Jiang Wang watched with his own eyes as he transformed into a handsome little bald head.

Then black hair sprouted on his head, growing rapidly until it reached his ears.

It wasn't as long as it had been before, but it was already long enough to be styled into a topknot.

Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't re-do her topknot.

In the state of Zhuang, in the Daoist school, he no longer felt a sense of belonging.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Just tie your hair up.

At this time, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, with a long sword at his waist, controlling the fluctuations of Dao Yuan. He walked casually on the official road, looking no different from an ordinary boy.

>Besides that heart, weighing too heavily.

>king to me! Do you understand manners" Hao Zhen exclaimed.Jiang Wang directly ignored the absurd Hao Zhen, only bowing to Yi Tang: "I apologize for my boldness. Although I haven't met you before, I ha...
