I Can See the Book of Life and Death Chapter 82: The Mysterious Grandmaster
"Wait a minute!"
The Iron-masked Man turned and left, and Xue Cheng began to feel uneasy.
He had thought that the Iron-masked Man was coming to kill him, and his mind worked very quickly in critical moments. Now that the Iron-masked Man was about to leave, his thoughts were also turning quickly, analyzing the pros and cons.
"With the Iron-Faced Man's master-level cultivation, it would be easy for him to kill me. Since he didn't come here to kill me, then what he said before must have had a reason.
"Is there really a demon here? But where is the demon?"
Xue Cheng's mind raced as he involuntarily stepped forward.
It turned out that the iron-masked man was standing there leisurely, without a trace of aura emanating from his body, only a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
The courage that had just arisen in his heart quickly disappeared, but fortunately he knew that the Iron-masked Man was not here to kill him. Straightening his expression, Xue Cheng bowed and saluted.
"Please teach me, senior!"
The corners of Zhang Mingtu's mouth curled up slightly under the iron mask. Having worked with Xue Cheng for many years, he knew his boss very well.
He was a man of upright character, willing to risk his life to eradicate the ills of Daxia.
If he were told about the situation with the demons, he would definitely take action.
Zhang Mingtu changed his appearance and told the story in this way, which was equally effective and could also eliminate the monsters in the river without much risk.
Seeing the silence of the figure who looked like a Grandmaster before him, Xue Cheng could not help but bow again and said in a deep voice, "I didn't realize that you were devoted to the country earlier. I was negligent. I hope you will forgive me."
Before speaking, Xue Cheng accidentally glanced at the pair of shoes on the feet of the senior in front of him, and his expression became more serious, and he was completely behaved like a subordinate.
"I believe I have been diligent in my duties in Jianyi, investigating daily and finding no demonic presence. I wonder where you, Senior, have found the demon. I hope you can tell me."
Zhang Mingtu caught a glimpse of Xue Cheng's little movements and felt more at ease.
The shoes were none other than the standard equipment worn by a higher-ranking figure in the Jinyiwei who he had seen after the general flag of the Jinyiwei in Longxing Prefecture. They were a pair of deerskin boots with the special logo of the Jinyiwei.
There was not much sign of Jinyiwei's attire on his body, and it was obvious that he was dressed up.
Only this pair of shoes was intentional, just to make Xue Cheng misunderstand.
When I was working with Xue Cheng, I heard him mention that when he was training in the Soul-Chasing and Deadly Sword in Kyoto, he met a high-ranking figure in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the figure he mentioned most emphasized this pair of boots.
Zhang Mingtu knew that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't move, and the voice was still difficult to tell whether it was male or female.
"Of course, conventional testing methods can't detect it, because the demon is in the water..."
As he spoke, he shook his hand and threw a piece of thin paper in his hand. It shot out like lightning and flew in front of Xue Cheng. Xue Cheng was on high alert and even pulled out the knife at his waist.
But he still couldn't react in time. The white light was heading straight for his chest. If it landed on his throat, it would be as fast as lightning and could even cut his throat.
“Oh no!”
His heart was shaken, and he saw that the white light shook for a moment, and indeed disappeared without a trace when it reached him. The white light that was originally as fast as lightning revealed its original appearance, which was actually a piece of white paper with a map drawn on it with simple strokes.
At this moment, he had just pulled out half of the blade, and seeing the white paper about to fall, Xue Cheng didn't have time to think about it, so he changed from "catch" to "catch", and caught the white paper with his knife.
At the same time, facing the iron-faced man's half-smile, Xue Cheng felt as if his eyes were burning, and his feet couldn't help scratching the ground in embarrassment.
Fortunately, the Iron-masked Man only said it lightly.
"Your sword skills are good."
Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Just now, this master-level figure did not make many movements, and did not even mobilize the true energy in his body. He just relied on his own strength to turn a piece of white paper into a hidden weapon and threw it.
This skill alone is already extremely outstanding. Throwing white paper is not difficult, he can do it.
He could also make white paper move at an extremely fast speed, like a hidden weapon.
But he couldn't make the white paper as fast as a hidden weapon and stop it in an instant.
"As expected, he is the top figure among the Jinyiwei."
Startled, Xue Cheng finally had time to look down at the piece of white paper in his hand.
As the general commander of the Jinyiwei in Jianyi, Xue Cheng could easily tell that it was a map, but this map was different from the ones he had seen before.
The map of Jianyi was drawn on the white paper with simple strokes, mainly depicting the Ganjiang River, and several branches and tributaries were added under the river, which were located underground.
"This is……"
Xue Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Need I say more?"
"Senior, are you saying that there's an underground river at the bottom of the Gan River, and that there are monsters hiding in that underground river?"
Xue Cheng was shocked. If this was true, then it made sense that he had not discovered the demons hidden in Jianyi.
There is a monster hidden in the underground river of a tributary of the Ganjiang River. How could a normal person possibly search such a place?
He also searched the Ganjiang River, but he had never known that there was an underground river under the Ganjiang River.
"The demon is hiding in the underground river of Jianyi. It must have some plan. If we wait until its plan is completed, I'm afraid there will be big problems."
Thinking of this, Xue Cheng broke out in a cold sweat. There was once a demon lurking in a state of the human race, and it had already transformed.
After devouring the governor, he took his place and occupied the entire state, eating countless people. The demons under his command devoured all the land and key officials in the state.
It was later discovered, shocking the entire Daxia.
The situation is much better now than it was then, but if something went wrong, both the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen are responsible and will be held accountable afterwards.
Thinking of this, Xue Cheng felt even more uneasy, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
If it is a big monster, there is no need to hide its body carefully, but if it is a small monster, its nature has not been polished, and it will soon reveal its tracks if it eats people indiscriminately.
This shouldn't be the case.
The identity of the person in front of him is also a mystery. He has the most advanced standard equipment of the Jinyiwei, so he should be a high-ranking member of the Jinyiwei.
With this man's master-level skills, if he found any demons in Jianyi, he would just wipe them out. Why would he need to disguise himself and come to him?
With all kinds of distracting thoughts tangled in his mind, Xue Cheng stood there in a daze for a moment.
But before he could fully sort out his thoughts, the figure was already walking out, leaving only a few words in his ears.
"My identity needs to be kept secret. Don't tell anyone about it. I'm here for another mission."
"As for the demons at the bottom of the river, you are not strong enough. Going in recklessly is courting death. Remember to call a few more colleagues."
Xue Cheng was stunned. The Iron-masked Man had already walked far away. He wanted to chase him, but thinking of the methods used by the Iron-masked Man, he didn't dare to do so.
Regarding today's incident, if that person was a senior Jinyiwei official, he would have been quite derelict in his duty. The fact that he gave him such advice was obviously a great achievement for him, and he had done his utmost.
He had no way to force him to stay, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the iron-masked man seemed to be carrying a long sword with a green light as bright as water on his back.
The sword energy was so sharp that it seemed to pierce the sky.
