Chapter 262: Blackwater City, the fog is thicker, soul ban, Pufeng Restaurant, Little Zhuge
"explode!"
Seeing that he was blocked, Kui Shiren couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He exerted his magic power and the mourning stick in his hand exploded, turning into a large ball of smoke that spread for hundreds of meters. At the same time, he retreated quickly and turned into a shadow that flew away into the distance.
"Fortunately, I acted decisively and managed to save my life." After a few breaths, seeing that there was no sound of breaking air behind him, Kui Shiren turned around and looked at the empty rear, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Just when Kui Shiren was feeling secretly delighted, he suddenly felt stars in his eyes, as if he had hit a solid wall, and blood immediately flowed from his nose.
He looked up.
Damn it!
That's not a wall, that's the chest of a tall Taoist.
Yi Chen casually grabbed the dreadlocks on the triangular-eyed man in front of him and threw them to the ground.
Boom! Suddenly, a shallow pit in the shape of a human appeared on the ground.
"Senior, I am willing to recruit."
Looking at Yi Chen falling like mercury, Kui Shiren couldn't help but exclaim.
"ah!"
Crack, the sound of broken bones and screams were heard.
Yi Chen stepped on Kui Shiren's knee.
"What force are you from? Tell me."
"Senior, I am a member of the Dragon King Cult. I beg you to show mercy and spare me this time."
Yi Chen did not answer, but silently crushed the other leg of the man on the ground, and then said coldly: "You still have two hands and a leg in the middle, you must think clearly before answering."
How could Kui Shiren not know that he had encountered a wolf and was killed? He could only tell the story with a sad face.
Following Triangle Eyes' narration, Yi Chen now understood a little about the structure of the Dragon King Cult. For example, the river sacrifice that Yi Chen threw into the Black Water River was a peripheral member promoted and controlled by the Dragon King Cult.
The person in front of him was from the Dragon King Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.
Those responsible for making money and those responsible for fighting were actually divided into two factions and were well organized.
This discovery further expanded the mystery in Yi Chen's mind.
It is hard to imagine that a monster can perform such delicate operations.
At this moment, Yi Chen couldn't help but think of what the white-haired old man, the mayor of Heishui Town, said.
There has been no news of the Black Evil Dragon King since the last time the government launched a crackdown on the Dragon King.
Damn it, could it be that the Black Evil Dragon King had already run away, and this Dragon King Cult was actually set up by a later comer using his own tricks?
"Boil!"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yi Chen suddenly felt a heart-breaking feeling as if his stocks were stuck.
He couldn't help but think of the evil cults in the name of false gods in his previous life.
You really know how to have fun.
"Where is the headquarters of your Dragon King Sect?" Yi Chen's mind was full of thoughts, but his face remained calm.
"Senior, you might as well kill me. I'm going to die anyway."
Looking at the fearful yet determined eyes of the person in front of him, Yi Chen guessed something in his mind.
"Then let me put it another way. Is your leader a human or a demon? Or have you ever seen the Dragon King?"
"Can you tell me this?"
Looking at the triangular eyes that were still shaking like a sieve, a big hand picked them up and started to extract memories.
As Yi Chen expected, Triangle Eyes began to bleed from all seven orifices in an instant. He did not read any images. Upon sensing his intrusion, a strange restriction instantly destroyed Triangle Eyes' soul.
"Wonderful!"
“Well-trained indeed!”
Seeing such exquisite soul magic, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel that his Dragon King shares were about to be delisted, and his face turned as black as charcoal...
Most of the monsters are known for their physical bodies, and only a few of them have innate magical powers. However, even among dragons, Yi Chen has never heard of any species that are proficient in the secret arts of the soul.
"Damn it, I'm so tired."
After returning to Blackwater Town and leaving a message for the mayor, Yi Chen flew towards Blackwater City.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, he felt that the only way to get more information was to go to Blackwater City where he had fought against the Black Evil Dragon King before.
The cities of the Qin Dynasty were divided into different levels according to the peaks of the mountains. The highest one was the Qin capital, Xianyang, which had nine peaks engraved on its gate.
The lowest is the village, which has only one peak.
Blackwater City is a city of six peaks, extremely majestic, with a True Lord-level master in charge. This person is the general of ten thousand men who led the siege of the Black Evil Dragon King, True Lord Baishan.
…. ….On the second day, the sun rose in the east, illuminating the mountains and rivers.
Yi Chen walked leisurely into Blackwater City. Naturally, his first stop was not to go to the military camp to look for Master Baishan with a shameless face.
Not to mention whether Master Baishan was in the military camp, just the fact that Yi Chen had no official status and his origins were unknown, he ran over and asked shamelessly, "Master Baishan, when you were beaten by the Black Evil Dragon King, did the black snake run away?"
As for the antagonistic relationship between the Great Qin Sect and the Dynasty, Yi Chen still didn't want to cause such unpleasantness. His face was not that great.
Of course, the most important thing is that for such major events, there are usually files with detailed records in the city, so there is no need to go to Lord Baishan to create trouble for yourself.
Phoenix Garden is the document library of Blackwater City. It covers an area of one acre and is five stories high.
The Qin Dynasty's bureaucracy was quite mature, and historical files were placed in a specially built building for students trained by the court to review and gain experience.
The document library was jointly built by various colleges and universities and has a very high degree of independence. The law stipulates that government offices must transfer some files to the library for archiving on a regular basis.
This is also a method of division, an alternative way of leaving traces of work.
If there are foolish officials who act recklessly in the government office, they will be infamous for eternity after being thoroughly investigated by students from all walks of life. If there are good experiences, they will naturally be widely praised and be able to be carried forward.
As for how to get into Fenghuang Garden, that is a problem.
Yi Chen stopped outside the door and couldn't help feeling troubled.
At this moment, a handsome young man walked out from the library, with a Xiezhi pattern tattooed on the front of his clothes. It was obvious that he was from the Legalist school.
"Sir, do you want a picture album?"
"This is the latest exquisite album of Mr. Gongsun, with a preface written by Xiaoxiaosheng." A man in a green shirt with a rat-like face sneaked up to the elegant young man.
"I am a Legalist who reads Han Feizi. How can you say such a thing?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Pianpian's eyes lit up immediately. He raised his voice by an octave, then lowered it and said, "Lead the way. Wait for me in the third alley on the left."
Yi Chen: “….”
With Yi Chen's current level of cultivation, he could naturally read the secret words of the elegant young man as clearly as observing the patterns on the palm of his hand.
After waiting for a while, another short and fat scholar walked out with unsteady steps.
There is a book tattoo on his chest, which clearly shows that he is a Confucian scholar.
Yi Chen straightened his clothes and walked up immediately.
"Sir, do you want a picture album?"
"Master Gongsun's exquisite picture album, the latest one, with a preface by Xiao Xiaosheng."
The short and fat scholar looked at Yi Chen suspiciously and whispered, "You look unfamiliar. Is this what Taoist priests are doing?"
Yi Chen's voice was as steady as an old dog, and he responded quickly: "Sir, the investigation is very strict recently, and it's not easy for me to attract attention like this."
"Yes, he is a cautious person, much smarter than those pigs in green shirts." The short and fat scholar's voice suddenly rose eight degrees, "Well, I will go with you to read your palm, and lead the way."
In the alley, Yi Chen threw the unconscious scholar into a broken wooden barrel and stripped off his clothes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With the experience of beating up bears many times, Yi Chen dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the force was just right and the fainting would not hurt the brain. Not long after, a "short and fat scholar" walked into Fenghuang Garden again.
Inside the document library, Yi Chen looked at the file in his hand and couldn't help but frown, his expression becoming uncertain.
When Lord Baishan was badly defeated, the Black Evil Dragon King went crazy and rushed to Black Water City, killed the prefect at that time, attacked Phoenix Garden, and destroyed many important buildings, mines, treasuries, etc. in the city, and took away a lot of property, and then disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, the Qin Iron Blood Guards sent experts to search the Black Water River area, but they found nothing after several years.
"Interesting." A new guess took root and grew in Yi Chen's heart again.
Perhaps his stocks were not delisted, but this was all just his guess.
…. … .Pufeng Restaurant is located in the west of Heishui City.
The restaurant is not big and its decoration is even a bit shabby, but it costs two hundred taels of silver just to enter.
There is no other reason, it is because this is the largest intelligence distribution center in the Blackwater City area.
"I'm offering five drops of gold essence to buy the address of the Dragon King Sect's headquarters. Is there anyone willing to take the offer?" Today, a mysterious Taoist stepped into the Pufeng Restaurant and left a shocking statement.
For a moment, the originally noisy restaurant suddenly became silent.
After a few seconds, a cultivator sneered and said, "Daoist, don't waste your energy. Not to mention that the Dragon King Sect is extremely mysterious, people who are involved in this sect often die violently. This sect is very deep, let alone five drops, even if it is fifty drops, there may not be anyone who dares to sell this information."
"We are afraid that we will have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it."
"Then I'll give you 20 drops of gold essence. If you're interested, you can come to the first floor of Fenghuaxue Pavilion to find me. I'll be waiting for your good news at table number one."
"If you dare to deceive me, I'll see if your heads are strong enough."
After Yi Chen briefly displayed the aura and pressure of a late True Person Realm, he immediately left.
Fenghuaxuege is a brothel.
At table number one, Yi Chen was listening to some ditty and drinking some wine, looking like Jiang Taigong fishing.
In a clear pond, all the fish are sinking to the bottom, making it difficult to see the entire pond. At this time, you need to throw a huge rock into the pond to muddy the water thoroughly.
At that time, fish of various colors will compete to emerge from the water, and only then can they be seen clearly.
Yi Chen didn't believe that there were no greedy people, no hostile forces that had conflicts with the Dragon King Sect and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. It was even possible that people from the Dragon King Sect would come directly to his door.
His going to Pufeng Restaurant was just to send out a signal.
A real fisherman is like this, he will take the bait if it's willing. No matter what kind of fish bites the hook, Yi Chen will take it, because it's better than waiting foolishly for nothing.
If someone cheats him, he is not afraid. If the goods are not the same as the description, he will directly explode the person's gold coins. Pay back? All your money is mine.
He really didn't believe that in such a small Blackwater City, with his current level of cultivation, there could be a master who could kill him.
If he really had such a talent, why not go out and make a name for himself and do something else, to earn the hard-earned money and human sacrifices in the town near the Blackwater River? "Let's make trouble. Chaos is better than no chaos." Yi Chen drank the wine in the glass, his expression deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, four sword-wielding monks, one woman and three men, walked towards him.
"Brother, why do you want to cause trouble for the Dragon King Sect?" The pretty female cultivator in the lead said to Yi Chen in a clear and pleasant voice.
"Of course, it is for the common people of the world."
The pretty female cultivator and her companions remained silent upon hearing this and stared at Yi Chen.
"Well, I am Zhang Huyi, and I have a grudge against the Dragon King Cult. The other day I destroyed a temple of the Black Evil Dragon King in Blackwater Town. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out."
"The Dragon King Cult has been plundering for so long. I am doing this for the sake of the people of the world and earning some resources for cultivation. What's wrong with me?" Yi Chen said helplessly.
"That's right. I didn't expect you to be a fellow Taoist. Twenty drops of golden essence. Do you think your words are worth it?" The pretty female cultivator smiled sweetly when she heard this.
"Of course I am not joking. Do you really know the whereabouts of the Dragon King Cult?" Yi Chen couldn't help but feel happy. There is such a good thing. Can he pass the level directly?
"I am a true disciple of the Qingyue Sword Sect, and these three fellow practitioners are my good friends, Qing Fan, Lu Yun, and Bai Ye."
"To be honest, the four of us in the Dragon King Sect had the same idea as you, and it was by coincidence that we got the position in the Dragon King Sect."
"Let's take Brother Dao with us. Brother Dao will give us 20 drops of gold essence first, and then we can divide the money and property we get after destroying the Dragon King Sect. How about that?" The green-clothed female cultivator smiled and sat opposite Yi Chen. "With Brother Dao's help, we will have a better chance of success on this trip."
"The Black Evil Dragon King's strength is enough to defeat the encirclement of Lord Baishan. He is at least a great demon in the middle or late stage of the Dao. Aren't you afraid, fellow Daoist?" Yi Chen looked at the four people in front of him and couldn't help asking.
At this time, the man in white clothes, who looked more beautiful than snow, took out a folding fan from somewhere, opened it and said with a smile: "Brother, why do you have to lie to me? My name is Bai Ye. My fellow Taoists, please respect me and give me the nickname Little Zhuge."
"If my prediction is correct, the Black Evil Dragon King must have left this place long ago. Now the Dragon King Cult is just an evil cultivator who is using a false name to deceive people. It has actually frightened the huge Black Water City. Even the White Mountain Master does not dare to take action again. It is simply ridiculous."
"This time we want to remove the cancer of Blackwater City and take this opportunity to become famous."
Little Zhuge showed a look of understanding on his face. "I guess you have figured this out, so you are heading to Pufeng Tower~"
"Brother Dao is indeed a man of extraordinary wisdom. I admire you very much."
Yi Chen: “.” You are just bragging about yourself.
Yi Chen naturally had no objection to the conditions of the pretty female cultivator and others.
Although he had other guesses in his mind at this time, they were just guesses. He was also very curious about the truth behind this mysterious Black Evil Dragon King and the Dragon King Cult.
So after the five of them reached a consensus, they immediately got up and left, flying away.
Only then did Yi Chen realize that the Dragon King Sect's headquarters actually had to pass through Heishui Town. The four of them even went down to investigate and verify the authenticity of Yi Chen's words, appearing to be quite cautious.
I'll solve the mystery tomorrow. I fell asleep while writing this chapter.
