Chapter 52 The Madwoman

Dongshan, as its name suggests, is located east of the capital, less than fifty li away.

The mountain isn't high, but it's famous for its temple. On Dongshan stands the Xuyun Temple, whose enshrined deities are said

to attracting countless devout men and women from the capital to burn incense and make wishes, making the temple a thriving and

enduring center of worship.

Xuyun Temple is built deep in the mountains, its structure winding its way up the peaks, resplendent in gold and jade, spacious and

magnificent . However, in this very temple, this sacred place of immortals and deities, a bloody incident that shocked the capital occurred.

It was late spring, the mountains lush and verdant, a scene brimming with life.

Wu Tianjiao, riding his Crimson Dragon Beast, arrived at Dongshan at breakneck speed. Before reaching Xuyun Temple, he

heard : "Who goes there? Stop!"

Concerned for his grandfather's safety, Wu Tianjiao ignored the voice and continued on his way. At the lower end of the plaza in front of the temple, two

towering ancient cypress trees, twenty or thirty feet tall and requiring four people to encircle their trunks, stood on either side of the steps. Several

military police stood on the steps, setting up a cordon in front of the temple gate to prevent pedestrians from entering.

Wu Tianjiao ignored them and shouted to the Crimson Dragon Beast, "Ignore them, charge in!"

Receiving its master's order, the Crimson Dragon Beast roared and accelerated even further, rushing through the temple gate amidst shouts of alarm

. The military police tried to stop it but were too late, and could only watch helplessly as Wu Tianjiao and the Crimson Dragon Beast stormed through

the gate. Someone cried out, "Good Book's horse..." Once inside the gate, Wu Tianjiao slowly brought the Crimson Dragon Beast to a stop

. A mountain breeze blew in, carrying a strong smell of blood that made people want to vomit.

Wu Tianjiao looked around and saw that the courtyard of the Buddhist temple was littered with corpses, and crimson blood flowed on the bluestone

ground , filling the air with a pungent stench.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianjiao's mind went blank, the world spun, and he nearly

fell off the back of the Crimson Dragon Beast. After a

long while, Wu Tianjiao regained his composure, dismounted, and began searching the courtyard for the corpses.

All the corpses were Buddhist monks dressed in identical blue robes. Wu Tianjiao examined them one by one but did not find

his grandfather 's body, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Wu Tianjiao was about to enter the main hall of the Xuyun Temple to search,

the sound of clattering hooves and shouts came from the mountain gate. In no time, a rider had galloped into the courtyard of the Xuyun Temple. It was none other

than Sima Ying, known as the "Number One Female Constable of the Capital."

"Don't move around or disturb the crime scene!"

Seeing Wu Tianjiao about to enter the main hall, Sima Ying shouted and leaped off her horse. Whoosh! She covered seven zhang like

a swallow , her clothes fluttering, her figure incredibly graceful. In the blink of an eye, she landed on the steps of the hall entrance,

blocking Wu Tianjiao's way.

Wu Tianjiao paused slightly, glanced at Sima Ying, and frowned, saying, "Please move aside, I need to find someone!"

"Find someone?"

Sima Ying was startled, her brows furrowing as she said sternly, "Who are you looking for? Our military police

have already searched the entire temple and found no living people. You can't just go in, disturb the scene, or obstruct our

investigation !"

"No living people!"

Hearing this, Wu Tianjiao felt a chill run down her spine and became even more anxious. Not wanting to say anything more to Sima Ying, she glared

at and shouted, "I need to find my grandfather. You'd better not stop me, or I won't be polite!"

With that, she bypassed Sima Ying and rushed into the main hall.

Sima Ying wouldn't let Wu Tianjiao in. She moved swiftly and said sharply, "You can't go in!"

Seeing her repeated obstruction, Wu Tianjiao became furious, glaring and shouting, "Get out of my way!"

With that, she pushed him away with her right hand. Whoa! Without even looking where he was going, his palm struck Sima Ying's

prominent chest. In his haste, he pushed with considerable force, sending Sima Ying flying several feet,

her back slamming against the corridor wall.

Sima Ying was caught completely off guard; she hadn't expected Wu Tianjiao to push her like that. The attack on her breast sent a jolt through her body. She

leaned against the wall, stunned for a moment, then her face flushed crimson with shame and anger. She blurted out, "Bastard!"

She immediately drew her sword, intending to settle the score with Wu Tianjiao, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Wu Tianjiao had pushed Sima Ying away. Although the feeling was pleasant, he had

no time to savor it and rushed into the main hall. The scene inside the main hall was similar to that in the front courtyard. Many

corpses , all belonging to the temple's cultivators. Blood flowed freely. Wu Tianjiao carefully searched the area and discovered that the cultivators'

deaths were similar to those in the courtyard; most had been stabbed in vital areas, dying instantly. This showed the killer's skill and

experience , indicating they were no ordinary thief.

After searching the hall, Wu Tianjiao couldn't find his grandfather Zhao Qingshan's body. Just as he was about to

search another hall, Sima Ying rushed in like a whirlwind, long sword in hand, face flushed, eyes flashing

with murderous intent. Upon seeing Wu Tianjiao, she shouted, "You lecherous thief!"

Before the words were even out of her mouth, *swish!* A sword flashed, aimed directly at Wu Tianjiao's chest, swift as lightning, its light dazzling.

Sima Ying was enraged and humiliated. In all her life, even while investigating cases and fighting criminals, she had never been taken advantage of.

She never expected to be groped by Wu Tianjiao today—a huge loss for her. Enraged, she disregarded everything else and was determined to teach

this .

Wu Tianjiao, terrified by Sima Ying's murderous and fierce demeanor the entire way, couldn't understand what had gotten into this female constable

. Why was she suddenly drawing her sword? He quickly dodged and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Killing you, you lecherous thief!"

Sima Ying roared angrily, and without further ado,

her sword flashed like a storm, striking Wu Tianjiao with deadly precision, aiming directly at his vital points. Her attacks were ruthless, as if she wanted to

end him with a single blow.

Although Sima Ying was young, she was worthy of the title "First Female Constable of the Capital," and her martial arts skills were considerable, possessing the initial

power of the Heavenly Martial level. However, compared to Wu Tianjiao, she was worlds apart, the difference in skill being immeasurable.

With his martial arts prowess at the Emperor Martial level, Wu Tianjiao naturally wouldn't take Sima Ying seriously. However, at this moment, he was preoccupied with

his grandfather's safety and had no time to entangle with Sima Ying. After dodging a round of Sima Ying's deadly attacks, seeing that she

still wouldn't give up, he became enraged and roared, "Enough, you crazy woman!"

His shout was like thunder, deafening, causing dust to fall from the roof and echoing throughout the hall.

The sound was deafening, startling Sima Ying .

But hearing the words "madwoman" only fueled her anger. She

prided herself on her natural beauty and talent; with a mere wave of her hand, young men would line

up for miles around. Noble young men were always eager to please her, calling her "Goddess Detective," "Miss Sima," and

"Heroine Sima." How could Wu Tianjiao, who not only took advantage of her but also dared to call her a

"madwoman," be so audacious?

Although she knew this "little lecher" was formidable, Sima Ying was no pushover. She roared,

"You dare call me a 'madwoman,' I'll kill you!"

With a series of swift strokes, she attacked Wu Tianjiao, aiming for his eyes and mouth, wishing she could tear

his .

Being inexplicably harassed by this "crazy woman" was giving Wu Tianjiao a headache. Seeing her endless

, ungrateful behavior, he grew angry and, without hesitation, sidestepped three sword strikes before unleashing a powerful punch—

the Five Thunder Heavenly Fiend Fist, its force fierce and imbued with wind and thunder. The fist struck

Sima Ying's sword directly on the back. The force caused Sima Ying's sword to vibrate violently, her hands to burn,

and she lost her grip on the hilt. The sword flew several feet away, embedding itself

half a foot deep in a pillar. The hilt trembled and hummed incessantly.

Sima Ying was horrified and hastily retreated seven steps, only to step on a corpse,

nearly falling. Fortunately, her lightness skill was excellent; she leaped several feet away, staring blankly at Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao snorted coldly, ignoring her, and went straight to another hall to search for his maternal grandfather.

This time, Sima Ying didn't dare to stop him. Her face flushed red and then turned pale, and she gritted her teeth, only able to

glare helplessly at Wu Tianjiao's back. It seemed she couldn't get back the advantage Wu Tianjiao had taken from her.

Wu Tianjiao searched five halls and five courtyards in a row. In every courtyard or hall, there were at least

seven or eight dead people. Most of the dead were cultivators from the temple, including a few guests who had stayed there.

After searching the entire Xuyun Temple, Wu Tianjiao still couldn't find his maternal grandfather, Zhao Qingshan.

At this point, Wu Tianjiao calmed down. Not finding his grandfather's body meant that Zhao Qingshan

hadn't perished. He thought to himself, "Grandpa must be alright. He must still be alive."

However, he wasn't reassured, fearing he might have missed something, so he examined all the corpses in the temple again

.

Supervisor Chen Liang and a large number of military police had arrived at Xuyun Temple. In the backyard, Chen Liang saw Wu Tianjiao

examining the corpse, while Sima Ying stood by, watching blankly without intervening. He frowned, went to

Sima Ying's side, and asked, "What is he looking for?"

Sima Ying shook her head, frowning, "He seems to be looking for someone."

"Why didn't you stop him? With him searching, the scene is in complete chaos. How are we supposed to find clues?"

Chen Liang practically roared. With such a major case, the pressure on him as supervisor was immense.

Solving the case quickly was crucial to his future. If he failed, and Emperor Xuanhe blamed him, his

official position would be in jeopardy.

Little did Chen Liang know that Sima Ying was furious, having been taken advantage of by Wu Tianjiao and unable to fight back! Hearing this ,

he glared at Chen Liang and snorted, "If I could stop him, I

would have done so long ago! Lord Chen, if you're so capable, go and stop him yourself. There's no need to take it out on me."

With that, he stomped his foot hard and walked away silently.

Chen Liang was stunned, not expecting Sima Ying to be so angry. He wondered, "What's wrong with her?

I only asked a question, raised my voice a little, and she got angry!"

He shook his head, not thinking much of it, and walked to Wu Tianjiao's side, bowing and smiling, saying, "Your humble servant Chen Liang greets

Your Highness!"

Wu Tianjiao had already seen him arrive and immediately stopped, saying, "Lord Chen, you've come at the right time. Please have your men

search the area within several miles of this monastery to see if there are any other corpses or if anyone is still alive in the monastery

. Then gather all the corpses in the monastery to the front courtyard; I need to identify them."

"Identify corpses!"

Chen Liang was taken aback, and said in astonishment, "Your Highness, you...you mean, there are people you know in this monastery?"

"Nonsense!"

Wu Tianjiao glared and said, "If there are no people I know, why would I need to identify any corpses? Give the orders immediately!"
