Chapter 104 Control of the Suspended Soul Silk

"Heh heh, go ahead and run!"

The young man looked at Shao Yanzhe with a mocking expression. Now, he was completely surrounded, and there was no way for him to escape.

Shao Yanzhe smiled gently, his fingers, hidden in his wide sleeves, fumbling for the jade hairpin pen as he began to think about how to keep all these people here.

This requires a lot of consideration. He needs to calculate his own spiritual energy, which attack method can wipe them all out, and he also needs to reserve some spiritual energy to deal with unexpected situations.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, intending to attract their attention.

But the young man's expression suddenly changed, and he took out a black spider with red stripes from his sleeve.

This spider is not small, and it has red stripes on its abdomen and eight legs, making it look somewhat familiar.

Shao Yanzhe quickly remembered that he had seen this kind of spider before, also on the people of Tianluozhao.

So, is it true that everyone in the Heavenly Net of Spiders has one?

He recalled that after the spider appeared, the people of Tianluozhao underwent various changes.

He instantly became alert and took a few steps back, about to use his spiritual energy to defend himself, when the spider's eight legs began to tap rhythmically.

Seeing that nothing had happened as he had imagined, he temporarily stopped using his literary energy to observe how things would develop.

The sound of the spider tapping was very rhythmic. Shao Yanzhe guessed that this should be a unique method of transmitting information belonging to the Heavenly Decree, just like the Morse code he knew in his previous life.

He stared at the spider with some curiosity. This was the first time he had observed a spider so carefully for such a long time. He couldn't help but think of the spider he had seen on the day he had just transmigrated.

He frowned subconsciously. Although he was frightened by the huge spider as soon as he transmigrated, he still remembered the appearance of the spider in a quick glance.

It seems that the spider in question looks very similar to the one in front of me, only differing in size.

He stared at the similar red patterns on the spider's abdomen, lost in thought. Could the two spiders be the same species?

If they are of the same species, then were these spiders captured and trained by the people of Tianluozhao to do various things, or were they bred by Tianluozhao and unique to Tianluozhao?

Shao Yanzhe couldn't make an accurate judgment. If it was the former, that would be fine, but if it was the latter, then things would become complicated.

He couldn't tell, but these people in front of him were from the Heavenly Order, so they should know some information.

Finally, the spider on the other side finished knocking and crawled back into the young man's sleeve.

Shao Yanzhe stared at them curiously, trying to discern from their expressions what message the spider had conveyed to them.

Unexpectedly, the people from Tianluozhao opposite him all turned their attention to him, their gazes filled with scrutiny.

The young man, in particular, lost his initial disdain and looked at him with a mixture of doubt, disbelief, and wariness.

Faced with such a gaze, Shao Yanzhe immediately had a bad feeling.

"You actually killed Zhu Shi'an!" the young man exclaimed in surprise, not as a question, but as a statement.

Shao Yanzhe tilted his head slightly to look at him, his eyes full of innocence and confusion: "Who is Zhu Shi'an? I'm sorry, I don't know him."

The young man hesitated, genuinely finding it hard to believe that this frail scholar had killed Zhu Shi'an.

Who is Zhu Shi'an?

He was one of the most famous deputy commanders of the Heavenly Net Order in Kyoto. He was strong, skilled, and experienced, and he even carried a secret treasure that allowed him to take his enemies with him before he died.

In fact, they did not believe it when they received the news of his death.

Later, when they found out who had given them the information, they finally believed it completely.

Zhu Shi'an was indeed killed while on a mission.

Judging from the situation, it seems that he was unable to take the culprit who killed him with him before leaving.

Their purpose in coming here is to investigate who killed Zhu Shi'an.

Just now, their leader gave them information about the killer.

Finally, he pointed out that the murderer was Shao Yanzhe, who was standing in front of them.

"Don't try to deny it. That's what the adults said themselves. There's no way they're wronging you!"

Shao Yanzhe: ...

That street was burned for nothing!

His money!!!

"Capture him! Take him back to Kyoto!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the people behind him swarmed forward, intending to strike before he could react.

Shao Yanzhe reacted quickly, but his previous plan was overturned.

After Zhu Shi'an died, he took all sorts of measures to destroy the evidence, and the fox demon clan chief handled the aftermath.

Finally, before they left, they set the entire street on fire.

But now it seems that all that work was done in vain.

In that case, his killing of these people will probably be discovered.

These people came looking for him, and presumably another group of people from Tianluo Zhao also knew about it.

After these people die, it will be easy to guess that their deaths are related to him.

Shao Yanzhe scratched his head, as if he couldn't completely conceal it like before.

He pondered as he dealt with those who wanted to harm him.

The enemy outnumbered him, but he could only handle two or three of them for a short time. However, he couldn't keep up for long.

Then we'll just have to give it a shot!

After defeating the two people in front of him, Shao Yanzhe immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

In an instant, a massive surge of literary energy appeared and attacked the people of Tianluozhao.

Caught off guard, the people from Tianluo Zhao were struck by the literary energy and sent flying, crashing into tree trunks and then falling heavily to the ground. Two of them even fell off a cliff.

This move took out seven or eight people. The remaining seven or eight people, seeing what had just happened, stared warily at the jade hairpin pen in his hand and involuntarily took a few steps back.

“Boss, I know you have something on you, a life-protecting treasure you got from Deputy Commander Niu before you left. Now is the time to use it. If you keep it hidden, it will become someone else’s!” said one of the people in the Heavenly Net Edict.

After listening, the young man hesitated for a moment, but he also knew that what he said made a lot of sense.

This seemingly frail scholar is so fierce; who knows how many tricks he's up his sleeve? If I were to lose my life here because he's hiding some treasure, it would truly be a loss I couldn't afford.

After thinking it through, his eyes hardened.

He reached into his sleeve. Seeing his movement, Shao Yanzhe tried to stop him, but he was too slow and failed to stop him in time.

The young man took out a small black box from his sleeve. The surface of the box seemed to have some faint dark red patterns, giving it an ominous feel.

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you surrender now, I won't use this treasure, and you'll at least be able to survive. But once I open this treasure, you really won't have a chance to live."

"No!" Shao Yanzhe resolutely refused.

"Hmph! Then don't blame me!"

The young man snorted coldly, then slowly opened the small black box in his hand.

With a whoosh, a black figure sprang out of the small box and landed directly on the young man's forehead.

At this moment, Shao Yanzhe realized that the black figure was actually a black spider with red stripes, which looked almost exactly like the spider he had seen before.

"Is this the treasure you were talking about?" he asked curiously.

What use is a spider the size of a baby's fist?

Is it going to jump over and bite him?

Hearing his almost mocking question, the young man had no time to answer. He was terrified and could feel that the spider on his forehead was completely out of his control.

Upon realizing this, his heart tightened, then pounded so hard that his breathing became rapid.

With a chill running down his spine, he finally witnessed the spider's next move.

This unusual spider, with its four pairs of eyes turning, used its eight legs to climb to the top of the young man's head and then stopped.

Just when the young man thought it wouldn't hurt him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his head, and then everything went black before he lost consciousness.

The Tianluozhao members gathered around him noticed his current appearance and realized something was wrong, so they tried to disperse.

But they were ultimately a step too slow.

The young man, who had been hanging his arms at his sides, flung them around, sending out countless white threads that covered all the people from Tianluozhao around him.

The moment those fine white filaments touched the skin, they seemed to come alive, quickly burrowing into it.

"ah!"

The people from Tianluozhao screamed in agony. They tried to struggle and remove the fine threads from their skin, but they were completely wrapped in the threads and could not move an inch.

"Help! Help me!"

One of them turned his head with difficulty to look at Shao Yanzhe beside him, pleading for help.

Shao Yanzhe, who had been asked for help, retreated repeatedly, staring at the scene before him with apprehension.

If he hadn't noticed that the spider was diverting some of its attention to him, he probably would have run away long ago.

His intuition told him that even if he ran now, there was no way to escape completely.

Shao Yanzhe tried to attack with the jade hairpin pen, but the young man moved so fast under the control of the spider that he couldn't hit him at all.

It was at this moment that the fine threads on the members of the Heavenly Net Order stopped moving.

Under the spider's control, the young man gently flicked his fingers, causing the fine threads on the Tianluozhao members to move, and the person controlling Tianluozhao stood up.

Seeing this scene, Shao Yanzhe couldn't help but think of the puppet show he had seen before.

The only difference is that the person controlling the puppet is also being controlled.

Shao Yanzhe took a step back, and the next moment, a figure rushed over.

He tried to defend himself, but the other person was too strong, and a sharp pain shot through his arm instantly.

He changed his strategy, dodging to the side and trying to get away. The jade hairpin pen in his hand quickly shot out characters composed of literary energy, attacking those who were controlled by the fine threads.

The person controlled by the thin threads moved much faster, easily dodging the attacks, and then continued to move towards this side.

Behind him were a few other people.

Seeing this, Shao Yanzhe felt a headache coming on. His body was really not that strong. Against those inhuman and ghostly things, he would probably be torn to pieces in just one round.

No, we have to think of another way!

His gaze fell upon the youth being controlled by the spiders; these people, manipulated by the thin threads, were controlled by the youth's own hands.

So, if the thin thread between the youth and the person being controlled by the thread is cut, will the person being controlled by the thread then be unable to move?

Then his only enemy was the young man controlled by the spider.
