My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

Chapter 26



Chen Taiji’s Death

“Governor, save me!”

“Li Bingtian is trying to kill me!”

Panicking, Chen Taiji kneeled outside Zhao Xuanxiao’s room and shouted anxiously, not caring about his dignity.

His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people in the Demon Subduing Division.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

...

In an instant, Yan Shaoqing and the others rushed over as fast as they could.

“Uh...”

“What’s going on?”

Seeing Chen Taiji kneeling in front of Zhao Xuanxiao’s door and crying for help without a care for his image, Yan Shaoqing and the others were shocked.

In their impression, Chen Taiji cared a lot about his reputation.

But now, he was kneeling in front of Zhao Xuanxiao’s door, begging for help!

What had happened?

“Chen Taiji seems to be seriously injured. Is someone trying to kill...”

Whoosh!

Just as Yan Shaoqing was speaking, a sharp sword light suddenly streaked across the air. It eventually became an ancient sword that pierced through Chen Taiji’s chest.

The powerful force nailed him to the ground.

What?

Was Chen Taiji dead?

Everything happened in the blink of an eye!

In the face of this sudden turn of events, Yan Shaoqing and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.

Boom!

At this moment, they felt a towering killing intent descend upon them. They looked up and saw a figure filled with ferocity and madness not far away.

“Li Bingtian?”

Everyone gasped when they saw who it was.

He was the one who had killed Chen Taiji with one sword!

“Governor Li, what’s going on? Why did you kill Chen Taiji?”

At this moment, Dugu Shan, the other Deputy Governor, asked with a frown.

Chen Taiji was the Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division in Yuan State. His identity and status were extraordinary. Therefore, even with great hatred, he should not act rashly.

In the Demon Subduing Division, it was taboo to attack a fellow disciple!

Even if Chen Taiji had made a grave mistake, Li Bingtian would have faced a severe crime if he had killed him.

However, neither Yan Shaoqing nor Dugu Shan could understand the current situation!

Unlike their shock and anger, Li Bingtian was angry and hateful. He stared at Chen Taiji.

He looked as if he could not wait to tear him to pieces!

“Chen Taiji deserves to die!”

“I’ve killed him. I’ll take all the blame.”

A fierce voice suddenly sounded.

Li Bingtian ignored Yan Shaoqing and Dugu Shan’s shock. Instead, he went straight to Zhao Xuanxiao’s room and knelt on the ground.

“Sigh, how could things turn out like this...”

The two of them sighed.

Seeing that the entire Demon Subduing Division had been alarmed, their faces sank. Immediately, with the authority of the Deputy Governor, they prevented anyone from approaching or inquiring.

In the field, other than them, there were only the three Lords who had arrived relatively quickly.

Among them was Lin Wudao.

How could he miss out on such a good show?

“He’s finally dead!”

Seeing Chen Taiji being killed by Li Bingtian with a single strike, Lin Wudao sneered in his heart despite his shocked expression.

Li Bingtian did not let him down!

“Now, let’s see how Zhao Xuanxiao handles this matter,” he said.

He waited patiently.

Thump!

After 15 minutes, the door of the room was opened.

Soon after, a tall, refined middle-aged man in green clothes walked out with his hands behind his back.

...

Mid-stage Divine Transformation realm.

Lin Wudao’s eyes flashed with a strange look.

Zhao Xuanxiao’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Paramita realm, and he was only half a step away from the Divine Transformation realm.

“No wonder you are in charge of the Demon Subduing Division in Yuan State. You are powerful indeed.”

Lin Wudao nodded to himself.

Zhao Xuanxiao seemed to have felt his gaze.

After a glance, he turned his attention to Chen Taiji’s dead body and Li Bingtian kneeling in front of him.

“What’s going on?”

Hearing this, Yan Shaoqing and Dugu Shan both shook their heads. They did not know the reason.

Li Bingtian, on the other hand, raised his head.

“Governor, I killed Chen Taiji!”

...

What?

Zhao Xuanxiao’s eyes narrowed.

“Why did you kill him?”

“Because he betrayed me for Yan Suxin. They have an improper relationship. Today, they secretly met in the Desolate Cloud Mountain, and I happened to find out.”

“So, I killed Chen Taiji in hatred!”

“I’m the one who killed him. So I’m willing to take all the blame...”

Li Bingtian clenched his fists and growled in a low voice.

What?

Chen Taiji and Yan Suxin had an affair?

Yan Shaoqing and the others were in disbelief when they heard the news.

They finally knew why Li Bingtian had killed Chen Taiji at all costs. They would have done the same if they were in Li Bingtian’s place.

After all, this was something that no man could tolerate!

After hearing Li Bingtian’s words, Zhao Xuanxiao, the Governor of the Demon Subduing Division, frowned.

“How many people knew about this?” Zhao Xuanxiao suddenly asked.

There was a long silence.

“Governor, this matter has already alarmed the entire Demon Subduing Division. However, no one else knows what happened apart from the people present.”

Yan Shaoqing quickly stepped forward to report.

From Zhao Xuanxiao’s words, he seemed to have guessed some hidden meaning.

“Mm.”

Zhao Xuanxiao nodded after Yan Shaoqing’s words.

Immediately after, his deep eyes fell on Chen Taiji’s dead body, and at the same time, his cold eyes glanced at Li Bingtian.

“Pass down my order. Deputy Governor Chen Taiji has been killing and exterminating demons all year round. He has been eroded by the demonic aura for a long time and has lost his mind. He is in danger of becoming a demon.”

“I’m afraid he will bring disaster to the world. So I will kill him personally as a warning to the world!”

His majestic voice slowly spoke.

“Yes, Governor!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits were lifted.

The Governor wanted to protect Li Bingtian!

At the same time, Li Bingtian raised his head, his eyes filled with gratitude.

“Many thanks, Governor!”

He kowtowed heavily.

“Get up.”

“Given your bold actions, your salary will be suspended for three years, and all resources will be stopped during this period. In the future, if something similar happens again, you’ll bear the responsibility yourself!”

“Yes!”

Li Bingtian had no objection to this.

Buzzzzzz!

After dealing with this matter, Zhao Xuanxiao’s gaze immediately fell on Lin Wudao.

“Like father, like son!”

“I’ve heard about what you’ve done recently. Although you’re a little bold, you’ve created some achievements and didn’t embarrass the Demon Subduing Division of Yuan State.”

“Yan Shaoqing, later on, in the name of the Demon Subduing Division, reported to the capital of the Li Dynasty and asked for Lin Wudao’s credit.”

“Yes!”

“Also, it’s the Lu family’s ancestor’s 500th birthday in three days. So, Lin Wudao, you’ll represent me to congratulate the Lu family.”

“Besides, Chen Taiji is your superior. Find a quiet place and bury him.”

“Alright!” Lin Wudao nodded.

Soon after, he carried Chen Taiji’s body on his shoulder and strode away.

“You guys, take good care of him from now on. Don’t let him cause any trouble.”

“I’m afraid this kid is restless,” Zhao Xuanxiao sighed and said.

He turned around and entered his room, continuing to cultivate.

Take care of Lin Wudao?

Hearing Zhao Xuanxiao’s words, Yan Shaoqing, Dugu Shan, and the others looked at each other with bitter expressions.

Could they control him?

“Sigh, let nature take its course...”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Soon after, they left.

...

On the other hand, Lin Wudao was not aware of Zhao Xuanxiao’s advice.

After he walked out of the courtyard, he found a hidden place and put Chen Taiji’s body into the heaven burial bronze coffin.

[ Ding! ]

[ You’ve taken care of Chen Taiji’s corpse and obtained a shard of an ancient Emperor Dao spiritual weapon. After being strengthened by the system tenfold, you’ve obtained a fragment of an extreme Dao realm spiritual weapon. ]

A notification suddenly sounded.
