The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Not far away, the two horses, one black and one white, were still chewing grass blades silently.

The west wind still blew through the green bamboos in the forest.

Hua Hua...

The bamboo forest once again returned to silence.

Ye Anping stood in front of Jiang He's corpse, closed his eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, he looked in the direction of Su Waner, who was now hiding deep in the bamboo forest.

He actually didn't expect her to help.

After all, her help would be tantamount to exposing her identity as the Immortal Thief.

If she hadn't stepped in to help, Jiang He probably wouldn't have died so quickly.

After all, the Molong Spear was indeed a very powerful spiritual weapon, and he should be able to attack them a few more times.

Moreover, there were several spell formations and traps underground that had not been used yet.

"It's done...

" Feng Yu Die had received a blow from Jiang He on her waist, and she would probably grow a new bump again.

Thinking about it, Ye Anping took out a bottle of medicine from his storage bag, stepped over Jiang He's body, and was about to help Feng Yu Die rub her new bruise.

But, just as he took one step forward, suddenly, a white shadow scurried out from the depths of the bamboo forest.

Su Waner, who held the Molong Spear, had changed into white tights, put on her fox mask, and spoke in a muffled voice, "Heh, kid, seems like it's true that enemies meet on a narrow road?

I didn't expect to meet you here.

" Slightly startled, Ye Anping cupped his hands.

"Let's not mention the past.

I want to thank you for your help, Miss Immortal Thief.

" "Ha...

" Su Waner sneered and said, "I'll take this spear.

See you later.

" Without waiting for Ye Anping to reply, Su Waner's figure flashed away from him and vanished in an instant.

Ye Anping blinked and was about to call out "Miss Su" and see how she would respond when he saw Su Waner running back from the northern bamboo forest.

In just two breaths, she changed her clothes, took off her mask, and put on her fake boobs...

That was really fast.

"Master Ye, are you guys okay?

There was someone with a fox mask just now...

" "Well, that was the Immortal Thief.

" "Thief...

the Immortal Thief?!

" Su Waner pretended to be shocked when she heard this and immediately reached out to touch her storage bag, feigning panic.

"Does that mean something was stolen from me?

Why is the Immortal Thief here?

" "...

" Seeing her play pretend like this, Ye Anping pursed his lips and simply ignored her.

After handing the medicine bottle to Feng Yu Die, he looked back at Liang Zhu.

Liang Zhu was standing next to a bamboo stalk with his arms crossed over his chest, staring at them with a hint of anger in his eyes, not intending to come closer.

Ye Anping hesitated as he roughly guessed what Liang Zhu was thinking right now.

He then stood up, propped on his knees, and walked over to him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Liang, is everything all right?

" "Yeah, thanks to you.

" Liang Zhu glanced at Jiang He's body next to him, and then closed his eyes as if hesitating.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Sixth Brother, I have to ask you a question.

" "Okay, what is it?

" "Why did you kill him?

" Ye Anping hesitated for a while, looking at Liang Zhu's expression.

He had his usual impassive poker face, but some dissatisfaction was evident in his eyes.

Ye Anping raised an eyebrow.

"This is rare.

Wasn't it your rule, Brother Liang, not to ask for the reasons?

Why are you suddenly asking about this?

" "This is different.

" "How is it different?

" "...

" Liang Zhu frowned slightly, glancing at Jiang He again, but this time his gaze landed on the bloodstained Justice Division's logo on his robe.

If Ye Anping wanted to kill a demonic cultivator, as long as he paid, he would definitely not ask for the reason.

If Ye Anping wanted to kill an ordinary cultivator, as long as he paid the money, he would not ask about the reason.

If Ye Anping wanted to kill a random commoner, he would not bother as long as he got paid.

But if Ye Anping wanted to kill someone who dedicated his life to guard the Central Region, then no matter how much money he paid, he would never help.

As was the case with Jiang He.

Liang Zhu himself knew that with his current status, he was not qualified to talk about good and evil.

As a member of the Seven Slayers Sect who made a living by killing people, what stand did he have to tell his employer that "it is wrong to kill this person"?

However, after many years spent in the Justice Division, he believed that everyone in the Division dedicated their lives to fighting evildoers.

The peace and stability of the common people in the land of the Central Region were maintained through the sacrifices made by the members of the Justice Division.

At the border with the Eastern Region, countless demonic cultivators tried to infiltrate the Central Region again and again, and it was the Justice Division that repelled their repeated attempts from the shadows.

The northern border was overrun with demonic beasts all year round, and they were also captured by the Justice Division officers stationed there.

Even he survived the war at the Central Region border because a Justice Division cultivator adopted him.

The shady things Ye Anping had done in the past were just that, shady, but if the only reason he killed Jiang He was because Jiang He got in his way, then that would be a different story.

Not even for Ating's sake would he ever work with Ye Anping again Liang Zhu stared closely at Ye Anping's smiling face, but in the end, he did not say anything.

"Pretend I didn't ask.

You asked me to sneak into the Justice Division executive echelon, and I followed this man to investigate a case.

He is dead now.

As long as I return to the Division, I will be held accountable.

So, what will I do next?

" Ye Anping noticed the change of topic.

He shrugged slightly, looked toward the east side of the bamboo forest, and thought for a while.

Then, he said, "Brother Liang, would you like to go somewhere with me?

I have something to show you.

" "That's what the Inspector also told me just now, that he had something to show me.

What is it?

" "...

You'll know when we reach there.

" Ye Anping evaded a straight answer.

He walked back to Jiang He's body, touched the storage bag on his waist, took out a Justice Division Inspector badge about the size of his palm, and then said to Pei Lianxue, "Sister, wait here with Sister Feng.

Brother Liang and I are going somewhere, and we'll be back in about half an hour.

" "Okay!

" ....

Ye Anping led Liang Zhu through the forest for about a quarter of an hour, pushed some bamboo stalks to reveal the sunlight, and there it was: a waterfall about forty feet high.

Under the scorching sun in the sky, a rainbow flanked the shallows below.

The water in the shallows was clear, there was no fish in it, and the air was filled with watery mist.

Liang Zhu glanced around and found nothing.

He asked, "Is it here?

" "Yep.

" Ye Anping nodded, raised the badge, and poured his spiritual energy into it.

Immediately, light shot out from the badge toward the center of the waterfall, and with a rumble, the curtain of water that was originally flowing down split into two waterfalls from the middle.

And between the two waterfalls, a dark cave entrance appeared.

"A spell?

" Liang Zhu observed with a frown and asked, "What's in this cave?

" "That's an Alchemy Chamber.

Maybe you've seen it before.

" "I've seen it?

" "Back then, in order to quell the chaos in the Central Region, the Emperor sacrificed the Second Princess of the Imperial Sect to the heavens.

If you were in the Imperial Sect's Justice Division at that time, you would probably know about this matter.

" Liang Zhu frowned even deeper.

He really didn't understand the events of the Heavenly Sacrifice back then.

The Emperor of the Central Region said that the Second Princess had to be used as a sacrifice to quell the disaster of chaotic spirits.

The point was that they said it had to be the Second Princess.

But in fact, after he rescued the Second Princess, the disaster of chaotic spirits in the Central Region naturally subsided not long after.

He didn't think the Emperor of the Central Region would lie.

At first, he wondered if the Emperor had found another method, but after he went to the Western Region, he didn't think about it anymore.

However, looking at Ye Anping's expression now, he felt...

"What do you mean?

What Alchemy Chamber?

" "Literally, this is a place for refining a pill that can go against the will of heaven.

" "Go against the will of heaven?

" As the two were talking about this, a middle-aged man came out of the cave in the middle of the waterfall.

Seeing Liang Zhu wearing the Justice Division's uniform, the man cupped his hands in salute.

"Greetings Seniors!

I am Xiao Min.

Dare I ask, where is Master Jiang?

" Ye Anping nodded before holding up the badge.

"Master Jiang He has gone on a long trip.

He sent us here with his badge to get the pill.

" "Oh...

I see...

Seniors, please follow me into the cave.

The refining of the Heavenly Reverse Pill will take two days.

Please, rest in the cave until then.

" Ye Anping nodded and entered the cave with Liang Zhu, following the cultivator in the Qi Refining stage...
