Chapter 272 Witchcraft



The Iron-Masked Man's face still could not be seen. One could only see a pair of cold eyes underneath the cold black iron mask.

Although he was clearly dressed as a ghost, Xue Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of security when he saw the Iron-masked Man.

The Iron-masked Man stood there as if he was holding up the heaven and earth. All the panic, anxiety, and messy thoughts in his heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

“You’re here!”

"Um."

The Iron-Faced Man responded coldly, but Xue Cheng felt a warm current flowing in his heart.

Sometimes he stood up from his seat uncomfortably, wanting to take a step forward but not daring to do so. He was quite restrained, completely lacking the calmness and composure he had shown in dealing with his colleagues before.

After hesitating for a while, he stood uneasily, but under the calm gaze of the Iron-masked Man, he gradually regained his inner peace. Being able to stand there in front of him, like a deep abyss and a deep mountain, his heart naturally settled down.

"Is it because of the evil spirit and the organization behind it?"

The Iron-Faced Man did not reply. After Xue Cheng talked about such related matters, he gradually regained a familiar sense of handling cases in his heart, as if he was reporting to his superior, and his speaking speed gradually returned to normal.

"They came looking for me again. The evil-repelling talisman in my hand caught fire again this morning. An evil spirit must be targeting me."

Xue Cheng had thought about this matter before and had a rough guess in his mind, and now he said it this way.

"I caused the enemy to suffer several consecutive casualties. They have clearly set their sights on me and are now likely to make me their primary target. Even after the Black List Grandmasters were defeated, they still dared to attack me.

"It's clear that the other party is more confident. If we can seize this opportunity to lay a trap, we might be able to reap greater rewards..."

“…I’ve thought about it. I can contact Han Jialang’s family to send several people at the Zhen Yuan realm to help (his three uncles), and I can also find a Grandmaster-level figure from his family (his clan master).

"If I had reliable information, I could also find two Grandmasters from the Imperial Guards and the Six Gates. Well, at least two..."

Xue Cheng reported everything without hiding anything and spoke with great confidence.

With his connections, he can directly bring three people above the Grandmaster level into the cave this time. If he can mobilize more reinforcements and the Jinyiwei station, he can even mobilize dozens or even hundreds of people who are in the marrow cleansing and blood transfusion stage.

Unknowingly, he had acquired a very strong power.

Even if another master from the Black List came, he was confident that he could keep the other party at bay.

At this point, Xue Chengdu couldn't help but get more and more excited and fluent as he spoke. If he could catch another master on the Black List, he might be able to go to the provincial capital of Jiangnan West Road and become a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and might really be able to control an entire captain's office.

Of course, this requires a lot of operations and time.

After all, Qianhu also has descendants, and their descendants can inherit the title of Qianhu. If there is an opportunity, they can be promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu at any time.

Over such a long period of time, there has not been much problem in the inheritance of the Jinyiwei's general flag and small flag figures, and they are usually inherited from a more outstanding one before them.

There are many people who will take up a position like the Captain of the Imperial Guard, and many people will compete for one position.

After all, there are not many Jinyiwei captains with real power. If you only have the title of captain, it doesn't mean much.

The father of the current commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard back then. However, this commander did not wait quietly for a position as an official. Instead, he fought at the border for many years and became a deputy captain with his military merits. Finally, he inherited the position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in an undisputed manner, and no one could say a word against it.

Countless people coveted that position, but no one had the ability to compete for it. After all, that person had made great military achievements, and his father had been the captain of the saint's guard.

With his own efforts and a little help from his parents, he can stay ahead of everyone else.

"Your guess is correct, but the direction is wrong."

Xue Cheng talked incessantly, but Zhang Mingtu only responded calmly with one sentence each.

"ah?"

Xue Cheng was stunned for a moment, unable to react. After thinking carefully, he asked anxiously, "Could it be that the other party has a hidden Grandmaster-level figure?"

The organization that can be targeted by the Iron-masked Man must be extremely powerful. It is not surprising that a grandmaster-level figure appears there. If it targets himself, then the current arrangement will be of no use.

A grandmaster-level figure took action, and his arrangements were completely unstoppable.

"No, you got it wrong!"

Zhang Mingtu said calmly: "Look down at your bowl."

Xue Cheng was stunned, somewhat confused.

He refused many of his colleagues' invitations to go out for drinks, but he had gotten up in a hurry in the morning and had not yet had breakfast, so naturally some of his subordinates went to the street to buy breakfast and put it on his table.

He was busy thinking about related issues before and had no time to eat.

Xue Cheng looked down and saw a common millet porridge, with four large meat buns, a portion of marinated beef, and a plate of cold cucumber.

For ordinary people in Duitou, such a breakfast is considered a luxury, but for him it is normal.

He looked carefully and saw nothing unusual.

The millet porridge was thick and white, which was very appetizing. It was obvious that the men put a lot of effort into it.

Da Rou Baozi is also a century-old shop. The sauce is generous and the filling is well-mixed. The beef filling is too dry, so some mixed vegetable oil is specially added to make the overall taste more mellow.
