31. Yang Road, Yin Road
Jie Huayu continued without hesitation, "My lord, please do not doubt my resolve. Although I am not from a prominent family, once I have made a decision, I will not regret it. However, if I encounter any opponents in the future, I will certainly ask you to teach them a lesson."
After saying that, she winked at He Chen, instantly exuding charm!
"Okay, I accept it." After He Chen finished speaking, he ate the Spirit Heart Vermilion Fruit. Instantly, his spiritual heart emptied within him, and he felt as if he had forgotten himself and the world. A sense of ethereal energy surrounded his spiritual platform and divine consciousness, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.
After a long pause, he said, "This spiritual fruit is truly excellent; the price needs to be reasonable."
"Rest assured, sir. A shop has been provided, and a job has been arranged for his family. This is for the best," Xie Huayu nodded and continued.
"My lord, I have gathered the intelligence on Huangtu County. You can take a closer look; the differences are minor. However, you must be wary of the Tianji Pavilion. They sell all sorts of intelligence and don't interfere in Jianghu affairs, but their information network is indeed extremely efficient. If you need any specific intelligence, you can also seek it out at the Tianji Pavilion. This pavilion has an extraordinary background, but I haven't heard of them actively interfering in local matters."
"Okay," He Chen nodded and said.
As the moon rose high in the sky, two fragrant aromas wafted over. After a few hours, the air quieted down, and I drifted off to sleep, entering a sweet dreamland.
He Chen happily pulled his arm away, covered himself with the blanket, and quietly closed the door and left.
Upon entering the courtyard, he swung his sword a few times, feeling refreshed and invigorated. The gentleman's blade seemed to respond with a clear, melodious sound!
He then ate all the ginseng and other things, and also took a few clean clothes. He was dressed in black and wore a straw hat, looking like a country bumpkin. Then he took out the star-patterned stone, which was extremely heavy, yet could be incorporated into weapons. It was really good.
He Chen incorporated the star-patterned stone into the Gentleman's Blade, making the blade heavier and thicker, and giving it a clearer, ringing sound, as if something wanted to burst forth. But something was still missing.
"Don't worry, I'll find you some better materials later," he said, gently stroking the blade. The Gentleman's Blade seemed to understand, trembling slightly! A connection, like a bloodline, made it as flexible as an arm.
I tried cutting myself, and it was surprisingly gentle, with no sharp edge at all. It's so gentle that even I can't be hurt!
'If I had enough kill points, I would have leveled you up to several thousand levels directly. I don't even have a space ring yet, I'm really short on kill points!' he thought to himself, feeling troubled.
A few rare, refreshing days, but the land of gentle pleasures is a hero's grave. Tonight, I'll head to the county town to take a look. He never procrastinates when it comes to doing things. He Chen walks with the wind and clouds, towering three thousand feet high. An eagle is soaring through the air. He Chen places one foot on its back and rides the eagle.
After He Chen left, Sister Lan and Jie Huayu woke up and glanced at He Chen, who was fast asleep. Their pretty faces were filled with satisfaction and peace.
He Chenye carried a knife, the moon was bright and the stars were few!
He Chen rode on a flying eagle, and soon arrived at Huangtu County!
He landed not far from the city gate, his precious sword at his waist, and strode forward. The city gate was tightly shut, and the guards were nowhere to be seen; they were probably hiding and sleeping. He then took a powerful step and, using his Cloud Wind Steps, gracefully entered!
They landed swiftly on the streets of the city, which were now quiet. Night had fallen, and they didn't know where to go first. They decided to find the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which claimed to know the secrets of heaven, so naturally they should know who in this county was doomed, starting with the youngest. After all, humans often had it easier than demons!
I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I suddenly saw two soldiers not far away, one in white and one in black, like the legendary Black and White Impermanence. However, they had a murderous aura about them, making them look like soldiers in training!
So he strode forward. If it was fake, it was obviously an evil spirit in disguise. He chopped it down with a single blow!
When the Black and White Impermanence saw them approaching, they felt the blood energy emanating from their bodies like a furnace, capable of burning them to ashes at any moment. Fearful, they quickly made way for them!
He Chen watched them make way, his gaze sharp and fixed on them, startling them. Bai Wuchang whispered uncertainly, "Can this person see us?"
Black Impermanence said uncertainly, "It seems they really can see us!" Ordinary people can't see them!
He Chen guessed that they might be subordinates of the local City God, but still asked in a low voice, "Who are you, and what is your purpose in wandering around the city?"
When the Black and White Impermanence realized they could actually see them, they were terrified and hurriedly said, "Please calm down, sir. We are subordinates of the local City God. We are out patrolling at night as usual to check if any evil spirits are causing trouble. Please investigate thoroughly, sir."
It seems they mistook him for an official from another place, otherwise how could they see them? The living and the dead are separated, and ordinary people cannot see them. So it's not that ordinary people can't defeat evil spirits, but that they can't see them! If they could see them, a raging fire could at least injure them.
After thinking for a moment, He Chen asked, "So you're the ones who maintain order in the county at night. You should be very familiar with places like the county town!"
Bai Wuchang replied, "What you say is true, sir. We are very familiar with most places in this Huangtu County, but we cannot enter people's homes; we can only patrol the streets! May I ask who you are looking for, sir?"
"Where is the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in this area?" He Chen asked.
As for how much of what the Black and White Impermanence said was true or false, I didn't care. If they dared to fool him, I would stab them the next time I saw them. I felt that my mentality had changed a lot after my mental cultivation improved.
Black Impermanence quickly said, "Please, sir. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is not far ahead. We will lead you there, and you will be there soon!" The two of them, or rather, the two soldiers, were leading the way. Why was their mode of movement "walking"?
Surprised, they asked, "Why can't you fly?"
White Impermanence replied, "My lord, we are subordinates of the City God and have received the blessing of incense offerings, so our bodies are gradually becoming more substantial. We are not comparable to ordinary wandering ghosts. We don't have much magic power yet, so we must conserve it as much as possible!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a sign in front of him that read "Tianji Tower" and said, "Sir, this is Tianji Tower. We cannot enter the building. You may go there yourself."
He Chen looked at the conspicuous sign, puzzled. He'd been to this street before, so why hadn't he noticed it before? Upon closer inspection, he noticed a faint spiritual aura emanating from the sign, as if it were some kind of illusion. It wasn't something ordinary people could see, nor was it something that could only be seen by those without desires. It was truly meticulously designed; quite extraordinary indeed. But for now, none of that mattered!
"Thank you both very much," He Chen bowed in thanks, then strode over with his sword at his side, determined to make the trip, whether you're human or ghost!
Watching He Chen enter the Heavenly Mystery Tower, White Impermanence and Black Impermanence exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of relief at having escaped a calamity. They hurried back to report the matter to the City God: a young man who wasn't an official had come!
The key point is that this person exudes murderous intent and is of high rank!
