Chapter 367 Capturing Shi Dehou

In a brothel in the imperial city.

Shi Dehou glared at the man in black who had brought him here, "You actually want me to hide here?"

The man in black had a blank expression on his face. "What's wrong with a brothel? It's convenient for traveling and doesn't attract attention. This street is full of prostitutes, and there's a lot of resentment.

During the day, you will absorb the resentment here and recuperate. At night, follow me out to clear the resentment in the imperial city."

So as to avoid bringing those restless grievances to Wei Qingyan and causing trouble for the Venerable.

"How dare you! I am the Son of Heaven. I tolerated your asking me to live in that shabby thatched cottage, but it is absolutely impossible for me to live in a brothel."

Shi Dehou's brow darkened. "If your Excellency has no sincerity in cooperating, then forget it."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and pretended to leave.

The man in black suddenly grabbed his neck and said, "You are wrong. This has never been a cooperation. The Venerable lost several top masters to rescue you. Your life belongs to the Venerable."

He glanced at Shi Dehou's chest and sneered, "Son of Heaven? Wake up, you are now a rat crossing the street that everyone in the Wei Dynasty wants to beat.

Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu's men have been tracking you. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be able to live in a brothel. You'd better stay put."

If Shi Dehou had not refused to sleep outside and insisted on occupying the gravekeeper's house, he would not have killed the gravekeeper.

If that person hadn't died, there wouldn't have been this scene between the Lin family father and son, and he wouldn't have been whipped by the Holy Envoy.

His entire back was covered in blood and flesh, all because of the thing in front of him that was neither male nor female, neither human nor ghost. How could he still have a good face towards him?

Shi Dehou was trapped in Yanran's body by Wei Qingyan and could no longer take over another person's body. He had already begun to suffer the backlash of taking over another person's body and was almost killed by the pinch.

"Let go. The Venerable still needs me. If you dare to act presumptuously again, you are not afraid that I will not cooperate..."

He could only use this bargaining chip, but in fact, when he was brought to Feng Zhao, he didn't even know what the Venerable wanted him to do.

Hearing this, the man in black grabbed his neck and pushed him onto the couch. "If you don't want to die, you'd better be honest. The Venerable doesn't need you."

As for what the Holy Envoy said about not letting Shi Dehou die, he felt that this worry was completely unnecessary. After having been in contact with Shi Dehou for these days, he knew that this person valued his life very much.

Seeing Shi Dehou sitting cross-legged on the couch, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that Shi Dehou was absorbing resentment to restore his body.

He can hide in a woman's body and live a miserable life. How could such a person be willing to die?

Shi Dehou saw the man in black out of the corner of his eye, resting with his eyes closed on the chair next to him, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

He tried many ways along the way, but he couldn't break free from this body. The only thing he could do was to cultivate the body of resentment as soon as possible. By then, even if he became a ghost, it would be better than being dead.

However, in order to cultivate the body of resentment, countless resentments are needed. He doesn't know how capable Wei Qingyan is now. If he absorbs a large amount of resentment, will it alarm Wei Qingyan?

In order to avoid being noticed by her, he had to hide and absorb some resentment to repair the backlash.

The Venerable's contempt for him made him realize that he couldn't go on like this, and he had to find a way to get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.

He put so much effort into everything because he wanted to be the master of the world, not stay in this brothel.

Shi Dehou's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of something.

Wei Qingyan used Yilian's relics to set up a protective formation. If he sneaked back to Wei and got the relics, he could remove Wei Qingyan's soul-binding talisman, break free from this body, take over a new one, and also possess some of Yilian's magic skills gathered in the relics. Then all problems would be solved.

Just as this cold-faced Rakshasa said, the Great Wei could not tolerate him, so no one would have thought that he would do the opposite and return to the Great Wei.

Time waits for no one, he pretended to be annoyed and said, "It's too boring, I want to go out for a walk."

The man in black glanced at him, picked up his sword and stood up.

Shi Dehou knew that he wanted to follow him, but the words had already been spoken. If he stayed at home just because he followed him, it would arouse his suspicion.

She walked around the brothel. Because she was wearing a human skin mask and looked ordinary, any patrons who saw her would just glance at her and no one came forward to talk to her.

Seeing that the man in black was staring at him from a distance, he spread his hands, pretending to absorb the resentment, walked around before returning to the room.

This person is watching her so closely that she can only look for another opportunity, but before that, she must try her best to restore Yanran's body.

After returning to the house, the atmosphere spread a little more, eroding the resentment. This is a brothel, and Wei Qingyan can't come here.

But he didn't know that if he did too many bad things, even God would be displeased. It just so happened that Shi Yu bought a house here because this street was a place of entertainment and was full of all kinds of people, so it was convenient for him to do things.

Therefore, when Dehou pretended to absorb more resentment and went for a walk in the backyard of the brothel, he ran straight into Wei Qingyan's hands.

Seeing Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan who shouldn't be there, Shi Dehou turned around and was about to run, but Shi Yu quickly positioned him.

The man in black knew that Shi Dehou was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Venerable and was deliberately making trouble like he did in the Lin family's ancestral land. In addition, the injury on his back caused him to have a high fever and he was feeling very uncomfortable. This brothel was the territory of the Venerable, and Shi Dehou was a coward who knew that Wei Qingyan and the others were in the imperial city, so he didn't dare to run around.

That's why he didn't follow him out, thinking that Shi Dehou would be back soon. However, after waiting for nearly half an hour, he still didn't see him come back. Then he realized something was wrong. When he wanted to look for him, there was no sign of Shi Dehou.

The men in black dug the brothel almost three feet deep but still couldn't find the person. Now he was lying on the ground with his hands and feet trapped.

Wei Qingyan used a dagger to cut open the clothes on his back, exposing his entire back. Shi Yu was holding a bowl of red liquid in his hand, which was a mixture of Wei Qingyan's blood and cinnabar.

The awl pierced into the flesh of Shi Dehou's back, and Wei Qingyan forcefully carved a talisman on his back.

Then use the liquid to smear his entire back, and the talisman that suppresses Shi Dehou's evil magic will be completed.

Unless Shi Dehou dug out the skin and flesh on his entire back, he would never be able to use his evil magic to harm others again.

Wei Qingyan ripped the cloth from Shi Dehou's mouth and said, "I was careless before. I wanted to suppress you with the paper talisman. I never thought that you would be imprisoned in the secret prison and contact the Venerable Feng Zhao to save you. I let you live for a few more days."

Shi Dehou tried to gather his resentment, but found nothing. He panicked and cursed angrily, "You despicable little bastard! If I can't absorb the resentment in time, the backlash will soon kill me. Then the witch curse will be activated, and Shi Yu and the others will die too."

Wei Qingyan smiled and took out a golden hairpin from his bosom, "Then guess why I'm not afraid of the witchcraft curse being activated?"

Shi Dehou didn't understand why she took out a gold hairpin until he looked at it and felt more and more familiar with it, then he remembered that it seemed to be the one he used.

He exclaimed in surprise, "You, you found the eye of the witchcraft array? You discovered the body in the Lin family's ancestral tomb?"

He said that Lin Lanting just went to pay tribute to his deceased mother, so how could he find the bodies buried in the ground? It turned out that they were them.

He was careless.

But how could he have imagined that Wei Qingyan would go to the Lin family's ancestral land when he first came to Fengzhao?

He made sure that he was very careful when absorbing the resentment. Wei Qingyan was in the imperial city, so far away that he couldn't possibly notice it.

Unless, this little beast has improved his magic and can sense things from a distance?

This thought made him furious. Why, he studied so hard and diligently, but Wei Qingyan could improve so easily? He angrily asked, "How far have you come in terms of your skills?"

Wei Qingyan just smiled and said nothing. This golden hairpin was indeed the one found under the grave-keeper's bed.

But she was not sure before that the center of the witchcraft array was at the Lin family's ancestral tomb, and she went to the Lin family's ancestral land only because of Wang Zhi and others.

Now that Shi Dehou had given her the answer, she was certain.

Looking at Shi Yu, Wei Qingyan said, "Your Excellency has someone who is good at using poison. They are very likely to have placed a poison on Shi Dehou to track him. You keep an eye on him while I go to the Lin family's ancestral land."
