Chapter 506 - 506: Slaying the Taotie

The cat was ready.

Zhang Ronghua put it in his pocket and used a bit of soul power to cover himself. He couldn’t see anything from the outside. Everything was blocked by soul power.

With a sway of his body, he turned into a golden light and disappeared from the room. The lamp was extinguished at this moment, and the door closed on its own.

Only the sound of thunder could be heard as the storm fell.

West City.

In a remote courtyard, there was a middle-aged man with a square face. There was a black mole under the left corner of his eye and a strand of black hair. He was very eye-catching. His lips were thick and his face was gentle. He was the doctor of the Ministry of Works, Wu Yangjian. He looked like a good person on the outside, but the things he did in secret were not good at all. Many people had died by his hands.

The moment the mansion exploded during the day, he received the news immediately. He only had one thought in his mind-escape! They had to leave quickly before the imperial court’s people arrived.

Putting aside everything he had on hand, he left the Ministry of Works and hurried toward the safe house that he had prepared beforehand. Not long after, he was out of sight of the Imperial Palace when two men in green appeared and blocked his way. Wu Yangjian trusted them without reservation and followed behind them.

Then…

Xu Xing led the men from the Crimson Heaven Hall and took the approval from the higher-ups to capture him. When he rushed to the Ministry of Works, he found out that Wu Yangjian had already left. He was so angry that he flew into a rage. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only continue to search, wanting to find him. As for the Time Treasure Seeking Mouse, he handed it over to others to search.

The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier. It rained down crazily from the night sky without any signs of stopping. The rain splashed on the ground, and the water droplets shattered, creating ripples.

In the room.

Wu Yangjian swept his gaze across the room, but there was no one else. His heart sank, but he reacted quickly. He knew that he had been tricked. He wanted to kill the donkey when he was done with it. He wanted to eliminate the roots and silence him. However, his expression did not change. He turned around and pretended to be puzzled. “Where’s Master?”

The two green-clothed men had already closed the door. They no longer had the respect from before. Their expressions were cold and their gazes were like knives, as if they were looking at something in their bag. They surrounded him from both sides. The thin man on the left said with a cold face,”Master is very busy! I don’t have time to see you.”

Wu Yangjian stepped back and took out two Black Demon Beads from his bosom. He held them in his hands and leaned against the wall, on high alert. He mocked, “It was an accident. The matter hasn’t been settled yet, and Master wants to get rid of me?”

“No!” Skinny denied.

Looking at the Black Demon Beads in his hands, he revealed a fearful expression and didn’t dare to casually make a move. He was annoyed. When he came, he was only concerned about preventing him from escaping and forgot to search him. Who would have thought that he would actually carry two Black Demon Beads with him?

As long as he put down the Black Demon Bead, wouldn’t a powerless person be at their mercy?

“His Lord called us over to let you temporarily hide from the limelight. When the limelight is over, he will arrange for you to leave the capital and go to a place where no one can find you to enjoy your old age.” He pointed at the Black Magic Orb in his hand. “Put it down first. You don’t have to do this to your own people!”

“Humph!” Wu Yangjian sneered with disdain.

“You still want to lie to me at a time like this? If my lord was here, I would trust him unconditionally! Only you, I, have been able to climb to my current position step by step over the years. Although I have the secret support of the Lord, I still rely more on my own ability. The explosion of the Black Demon Bead and the death warriors…With such a huge force, no one in the mansion survived. My family is the same, and others will be affected. “So many people have died at once, and they are the family members of a Rank Four official. The imperial court will definitely send people from the True Dragon Palace or the Red Heaven Palace to investigate. With their abilities, even if the mansion is in ruins, they won’t be able to hide these things. They will ask the higher-ups to send people to arrest me and interrogate me. ‘”‘

He paused for a moment.

He did not hide the sarcasm in his eyes, as if he was looking at a clown.

“If my guess is correct, Master called you here for two reasons. First, to obtain the method to refine the Black Demon Bead, and second, to get rid of me!” The two of them were silent.

They were only death warriors! Killing people was fine, but scheming was still far from being comparable to those in the officialdom.

The fatty on the right was afraid that something unexpected might happen if they delayed. Even if it was raining heavily outside and wiping away their traces, it would be troublesome if they delayed and attracted other factions.

After all, in the past two days, because of Zhang Ronghua’s assassination, the Emperor was furious. The civil and military officials were also putting pressure on him, and many people died! Even some of their men had been eliminated.

If it wasn’t for the appearance of the Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse today and the involvement of Wu Yangjian, he definitely wouldn’t appear in the near future. The more he attacked, the greater the risk of being exposed.

The other forces had the same idea and wanted to hide for a while. However, after what happened during the day, they knew that it was dangerous to attack now, but it involved a Creation Spiritual Treasure. They could not sit still and had no choice but to send people. However, they were even more careful.

Seeing the truth, he said viciously,” Since you found out, we won’t pretend anymore. You’ve already been targeted by Xu Xing of the Crimson Heaven Hall. They’re divided into two groups. One group will ask for instructions from the higher-ups, and the other group will be led by Xu Xing personally to the Ministry of Works to capture you. Just as you said, such a big matter is not something you can handle! I will definitely investigate to the end, pry open your mouth, and force out the mastermind! Master is doing this for the sake of the big picture. As long as you hand over the refining method of the Black Demon Bead, Master promises….”
