Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Riding the same Dragon_1
About half a minute later, Liu Dianshi, the historian, knocked on the human-shaped ice with the handle of his knife and then sincerely praised it: “Quite sturdy! I think it won’t melt within ten hours, truly, the Li family’s ‘Cold Breath Fierce Palm’ lives up to its reputation!”
A bailiff behind him also remarked: “Legend has it that three hundred years ago, the first Earl Chengyi once froze the Huai River, I just thought it was a myth. Now I know, I had a limited view.”
Jiang Hanyun watched Li Xuan with the gaze of a stranger, only taking her eyes back when Li Xuan felt his scalp tingling.
“You always surprise me, it somehow managed to freeze someone of the fourth level dual cultivation of martial arts and spells with a single palm. Four days ago, your ‘Cold Breath Fierce Palm’ wasn’t this powerful. When your brother Li Yan was at the second level, he was much weaker than you.”
Li Xuan had also frozen Zhang Jin with a single palm in the past.
But nearing the fourth level and becoming the actual realm of the fourth level are completely different concepts. The fourth level ‘Lingdan Level’ belongs to the second gate, while the third level is the Foundation Establishment Realm, still remaining in the range of the first gate, this is a gap of a large realm.
And the Fourth-floor cultivator they were observing now was extra thickly frozen.
However, Li Xuan heaved a weak sigh: “This guy is seriously injured and is at the end of his tether. His bravery is nothing to talk about?”
He didn’t feel the slightest joy at the moment, as punching this person into the ice was the effect of the tremendous effort of the red-dress ghost.
But Li Xuan also paid a price for this, the cold numb at his heart increased sharply and he hasn’t recovered until now, even with a slight tingling sensation.
Li Xuan has not yet had time to check the green spot on his chest, he didn’t know if this spot has changed, but he predicted the situation would not be optimistic.
Jiang Hanyun slanted a glance at him, unable to determine whether he was being modest or smug.
“He is indeed a spent force, but that’s precisely what makes him more dangerous. Just like a cornered rat attacking a cat. At this time, even I would need to make way.”
Jiang Hanyun stopped herself there, worried that her praise would inflate Li Xuan’s ego.
Although this guy is indeed amazing, this palm was full of cold power, forming a thick layer of ice on this cultivator’s body.
As far as she knows, among the martial arts cultivators below the fourth level in the entire Jin Dynasty, none can do that.
At this moment, Li Xuan was carefully observing the feet of the man in the block, as soon as he saw the sandals on this person’s feet, Li Xuan was relieved to confirm he caught the right person.
The sandals this man wore were exactly the same as the shoes seen in the dead man’s memories. Even the size was the same.
“Yes!” Li Xuan suddenly thought of something: “The autopsy just now, there was one thing I found very strange. The deceased’s heart, liver, and kidneys were all eaten away, even his esophagus was torn off, but most of the intestines and stomach remained. Commander, please be sure to look into this matter afterward.”
He knew that the 4th-rank spell cultivator in the ice was not dead, although this guy was frozen, but only a small part of the cold energy he punched really seeped into this person’s organs and brain.
Once the cultivation reaches the Four-story Realm, they are capable of using the Turtle Breath Technique. They can survive for twenty-four hours in an oxygenless environment.
But after hearing his words, Jiang Hanyun and the others present looked confused, not understanding what he meant.
The coroner who followed them gave a cold laugh: “Commander, indeed beasts like to eat intestines and stomach, more than the heart and liver, it doesn’t make sense to eat the heart and liver but spare the intestines. But how do you know this guy doesn’t have a cleanliness fetish, ordering the wolves he controlled to spare them?”
Li Xuan was left speechless, even he thought the coroner made a good point.

About a quarter of an hour later, the ice that Li Xuan created was completely melted by Liu Dianshi. This cultivator happened to cultivate Fire Style Zhenyuan, though it wasn’t strong, his control was exceptional.
Not only did he melt Li Xuan’s cold power but also ensured that the spell cultivator in the ice had no opportunity to escape. Afterward, his two subordinates each drove a Zhenyuan Nail into the man’s Pipa Bone, or shoulder blade.
The Zhenyuan Nail was about half a foot long, engraved with intricate runes, and specially forged by the Ministry of Works of the Great Jin Dynasty for cultivators. Once this thing is nailed into the shoulder blade, any Wu cultivator or spell cultivator below the seventh house level will lose all their strength and become at the mercy of others.
However, the following interrogation didn’t go smoothly. The man who came out of the ice block kept his eyes closed and remained silent. Even when Historian Liu and others tried to torture him, he remained indifferent, not uttering a sound.
Therefore, after presiding over the interrogation for a while, Jiang Hanyun handed over the follow-up matters to Historian Liu directly and left.
Owing to the recent sequence of major cases in Nanjing City, the staff of the Liudao Division has been stretched to the limit. This has kept Jiang Hanyun so busy in recent days that she didn’t have time to deal with this spell cultivator.

The reason she took the time to bring Li Xuan here this time was the same as the Lanyue House case. Firstly, there was no one available, and secondly, Jiangning County had made it clear in the transmission rune that there was no doubt about the case.
But due to the clues found by Li Xuan, they had already wasted more than two hours here.
However, just as the two were preparing to return, Li Xuan realized that his mount was badly injured. This Earth Dragon’s heart and lungs were partially frozen by the Cold Power, causing its blood circulation to be impaired, and it was now having difficulty standing steady.
Li Xuan realized that this must have been due to his lack of control over Zhenyuan when he fought with the spell cultivator earlier. This caused some of the Cold Power to seep down into his mount’s body.
“Ride with me. We’ll leave this beast here and have the people of Jiangning County take care of it,” Jiang Hanyun gracefully mounted the Earth Dragon and extended her hand to Li Xuan. “But you really need to practice controlling your Zhenyuan, or you’ll suffer a lot in the future.”
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her small hand to leverage himself onto the horse.
He was eager to return to Zhuque Hall. During Jiang Hanyun and others’ interrogation of the spell cultivator, Li Xuan had already taken a quick look at his chest. As expected, the green spot had grown a bit larger.
However, once Li Xuan got on his horse, he couldn’t help but entertain some romantic thoughts. Jiang Hanyun wasn’t wearing any makeup, but her natural fragrance was even more captivating.
But in just a blink, Li Xuan was cool-hearted again. With the potentially lethal hazard of the red-clothed ghost woman behind him, where would he have the heart to indulge in these romantic feelings?
Moreover, the woman in front of him was a real human-shaped brontosaurus. Wouldn’t he be asking for death if he provoked her? It’s better to maintain the cool-hearted mindset of a sage.
Jiang Hanyun frowned, “What’s pressing against my back?”
“It’s the handle of my waist knife!” Li Xuan shifted his buttocks backward a little awkwardly to keep the handle from touching her.
Jiang Hanyun’s pretty face turned red. She regretted her earlier reaction but it wasn’t appropriate to kick Li Xuan off at this point. As she spurred the reins, the Earth Dragon under them shot off and reached its top speed within a very short distance.
“I’m in a hurry to get back, so the speed will be a bit fast. Hold on tight!”
Li Xuan’s expression changed slightly as he felt the speed of the Earth Dragon reach a speed of at least 250 mph, which was comparable to modern sports cars!
At first, he hesitated about whether or not to heed Jiang Hanyun’s words. But in less than three seconds, Li Xuan had tightly embraced his boss’s slender waist. He figured she was a tough woman and there was no need for him to be polite.
As Jiang Hanyun was galloping her ride, Li Xuan kept looking back.
He was observing the red-clad female ghost trailing him; she was floating just three steps behind him. Even when their Earth Dragon reached a speed of over 200 mph, it couldn’t shake her off by even one step.
Li Xuan wondered what the threads that the ghost had extended earlier were? And the chilling Qi of Yinhan that had entered his body from his back, what’s the reason for that?
Was she trying to help him? Did she have her own consciousness? If so, how should he communicate with her? If not, what caused the ghost woman’s three unusual movements today?
Countless questions swirled in Li Xuan’s mind.
Li Xuan quietly chuckled to himself, thinking that perhaps this ghost woman was the biggest golden finger he had received after crossing over. Unfortunately, she was a deadly one.
