Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 74: Fragment of an Imperial Weapon, Obtaining the Ancient Double Pupil!

Not long after Li Wudao left, many disciples from the three sects arrived one after another.

When the crowd saw the two corpses on the ground and examined them, it immediately caused a huge uproar.

"This... Senior Brother Zhong?!"

"It's Senior Brother Wei... What exactly happened...?"

"The wounds are neat and smooth, all the same, which suggests that the murderer must be a master swordsman."

"Hiss! One person killed two Martial Grandmaster level experts, how is that possible?!"

The disciples of Lingwu Sect and Leihuo Sect looked grim, were filled with anxiety, and were hostile to each other, creating utter chaos.

It should be noted that Zhong Shan and Wei Kangping are the strongest members of their respective sects. Even their own sect's chief disciple was beheaded, let alone these people.

As for the disciples of the Xuantian Sect, their expressions were priceless; they wanted to laugh but dared not, feeling rather uncomfortable.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for them.

Not long after, Jiang Churan arrived late and frowned slightly when she saw the two corpses.

In her past life, Zhong Shan and Wei Kangping had once made a name for themselves in the Eastern Wilderness, both of them having broken through to the Martial Venerable realm.

Unexpectedly, he died inexplicably in the secret realm today, which is truly lamentable.

She was equally puzzled as to who could have killed two Martial Grandmasters in succession.

Such strength is comparable to hers; I don't remember such a person from my previous life.

"Could it have been done by that boy in white?"

The shirtless disciples of the Lingwu Sect had a sudden thought, and the image of the boy who had robbed them flashed through their minds.

"That's not right. That kid used his fists, but the murderer clearly used a sword."

"It's hard to say, maybe he knows swordsmanship too."

Some people questioned it, while others agreed.

Despite the lack of evidence, Li Wudao has undoubtedly become the object of everyone's suspicion, and is highly suspected.

"The boy in white?"

Not far away, Jiang Churan's pretty face was slightly stunned.

It seems that only Xuantian Sect disciples are wearing white robes, which means the murderer is very likely from their own sect?

The image of Li Wudao flashed before her eyes, and she immediately shook her head decisively.

Although the young man concealed his strength during the competition, it was still impossible for him to kill two Martial Grandmasters; it was too unbelievable.

The next moment, she thought of Qi Xingyu again, and felt it was even more impossible, as the latter's strength was probably not even as good as Li Wudao's.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Churan couldn't think of the corresponding person. She began to doubt her life, wondering if she had just imagined it.

Suddenly,

Jiang Churan's eyes flickered slightly as she took out a communication jade slip.

"I'll be waiting for you five miles to the southwest..."

A familiar young voice rang out, and she was somewhat taken aback. She quickly looked around, but did not find Li Wudao.

The girl blinked her big eyes, full of confusion, not understanding why the other party, having shown himself, didn't just come over directly.

Surely Li Wudao couldn't have really killed those two people, could he?

Filled with confusion, Jiang Churan quietly retreated, heading in the predetermined direction.

.........

A desolate area in the distance.

When Jiang Churan arrived as promised, she saw Li Wudao sitting on a blue stone with his legs crossed, engrossed in reading an ancient book.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you forever."

Upon seeing the girl, Li Wudao closed his book and greeted her with a grin.

"What are you looking at, so fascinated?"

Jiang Churan parted her red lips slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Li Wudao handed over the yellowed ancient book.

"The Panlei Sutra... So you received the inheritance of Venerable Panlei. No wonder you were so mysterious."

Jiang Churan glanced at it twice, then suddenly realized that the young man was worried about the inheritance being leaked, which was why he chose to meet her here.

She flipped through the cultivation manual, a strange feeling creeping into her heart.

In his previous life, it seems that the inheritance of Venerable Panlei was taken away by Zhongshan, who used this opportunity to rise to prominence, stand out from the crowd, and become famous.

Unexpectedly, in this life, not only did he miss out on the inheritance, but he also lost his life.

"Would you like to copy this technique?"

Li Wudao couldn't help but have the idea of ​​investing; the returns from the Martial Emperor's Technique should be substantial.

"No need, this technique is not suitable for me."

Jiang Churan shook her head slightly.

She is currently cultivating the most advanced imperial cultivation technique, so naturally she looks down on low-grade royal cultivation techniques.

"Alright, then take a look at these rings and see if there's anything you like. Just take it."

Undeterred by the fact that he couldn't give away the Martial Emperor's cultivation technique, Li Wudao simply stuffed the inheritance ring into the girl's hand.

Jiang Churan actually had little interest in inheriting the Martial Venerable's legacy.

However, she felt bad refusing the young man's kind offer, so she simply glanced at him a few times.

However, it was a little surprising when I finally looked.

Unexpectedly, this mere Martial Venerable possessed over a hundred spiritual herbs after his death, with more than a dozen of them being over a thousand years old.

As for low-grade spirit stones, there were over a million; more than twenty king-level cultivation techniques; and other miscellaneous pills piled up into a small mound...

What attracted her most was a purple-gold copper block.

It stood silently in the center of the space, its texture mottled and ancient, its surface engraved with tadpole-shaped Dao patterns, radiating waves and light, and a hidden pressure emanating from it.

The beam of light from before was actually emitted by this copper block.

"This aura... an Emperor... an Emperor weapon?!"

Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes narrowed, her heart skipped a beat, and she began to doubt whether she had seen correctly.

The next moment, she took out the copper ingot and examined it closely, her expression gradually becoming serious.

There's no mistake, this bronze piece is an imperial weapon, or more precisely, a fragment of an imperial weapon.

Although it is just a fragment of an imperial weapon, it is still one of the most precious treasures in the world, and no powerful person can refuse it.

"It's actually Purple Gold Cold Iron! This rare material for forging weapons has been impossible to find for a long time. I never thought I would see it again."

The girl stroked the palm-sized copper ingot with excitement in her eyes, as if she had found a priceless treasure.

Purple Gold Cold Iron is one of the finest materials for forging imperial weapons. It is something that ancient emperors would fight tooth and nail to obtain, and its appearance would always cause bloodshed.

"Could I have this copper ingot? I can trade it for something else."

Jiang Churan hesitated for a moment, her tone of discussion revealing a hint of pleading.

"You're being too polite. It's just a small copper coin, take it."

Li Wudao smiled indifferently.

He wasn't afraid that Xiao Jiang would take everything, but he was afraid that the latter wouldn't find anything he liked, otherwise how could he get any benefits?

"Actually... this copper piece is a fragment of an imperial weapon."

Jiang Churan was stunned, a warmth spreading through her heart, unable to bear deceiving the boy.

"Oh, it's okay, as long as you like it."

Li Wudao was also stunned for a moment, then a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Fragments of an Imperial Weapon? Brilliant!

He could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

This huge fortune is about to fall on his head!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him with complicated emotions, and for a moment, her heart raced and she panicked.

He didn't expect Li Wudao to agree so readily.

You must know, this is a fragment of an imperial weapon. How many emperors have there been throughout history? Imperial weapons are even rarer than emperors; there are only a handful.

And so, the boy just casually gave it to her...

"Thanks."

Jiang Churan bit her red lips lightly, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

Including this time, she owes Li Wudao another huge favor; at this rate, how will she ever be able to repay it...?

"It's nothing, please take another look and see if there's anything else you need. Don't be shy about taking it."

Li Wudao waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to say anything more.

"No need, this is enough for me."

Jiang Churan shook her head repeatedly, too embarrassed to ask for anything else.

Li Wudao was somewhat troubled. It was a real pity that so many things were stuck in his hands and couldn't be put to greater use.

Noticing his subtle expression, the girl looked suspicious, her eyes filled with surprise.

What's going on? This guy looks a bit disappointed.

Upon hearing the system's announcement, Li Wudao's expression shifted slightly, revealing a hint of joy.

The ability to see through the source is a bit abnormal. When facing an enemy of the same realm, you can see through their underwear, making you almost invincible.
