Outside Zhoushan City.
Two figures stood facing each other. To be precise, there should be only three people, but one of them was a short and thin figure, like a chicken, being held in the hand of a majestic and strong red figure.
At this time, bone spurs grew crazily out of Lin Sheng's body, Vertical Eye emerged in the center of his eyebrows, and his whole body revealed an indescribable aura of violence and madness.
He squeezed Pei Er in his hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at a figure wearing a bamboo hat dozens of meters away from him.
The figure is dressed in Wandering Hero, with a black cloak covered in dust behind her. The hat on her head is woven from the most common bamboo strips on the market, and behind her back is a long decorative object wrapped in black cloth, which should be a sword.
The total cost of this outfit does not exceed five grand, and there is no tyrannical aura about him, as if he is just an ordinary person without any martial arts skills.
But Lin Sheng knew very well that the figure in the bamboo hat in front of him was extremely powerful as he could unleash such tyrannical power with just a leaf.
Because the power wrapped in the leaves gave him a sense of familiarity.
Although there was only a trace of power wrapped around it, he was certain that it was Bone Force that only masters of Bone Tempering could possess.
The figure in the bamboo hat in front of me is obviously a Bone Tempering master. Although Bone Force seems to be a newcomer to Bone Tempering based on his ability, he is also a genuine Bone Tempering warrior.
"Young... Young Master!?"
Before Lin Sheng could speak, Pei Er, who was held in his hand, noticed the figure in the bamboo hat, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly spoke.
"Young Master?"
Pei Er's words made Lin Sheng's heart move. It was obvious that the figure in the bamboo hat was here for him.
"My friend, this subordinate of mine may have offended you for something. I would like to apologize to you for him."
The figure in the bamboo hat did not pay attention to Pei Er's words, but his eyes fell on Lin Sheng, especially on the Vertical Eye between his eyebrows. He paused slightly before speaking with a smile.
"An apology is not enough."
Lin Sheng was silent for a while, then slowly spoke.
"Of course an apology won't do. The reward for my subordinate's arrest is 50,000 taels, so I wonder if the 60,000 taels of cash here are enough?"
The man in the bamboo hat seemed to have guessed what the other party would say. He took out a thick stack of treasure notes from his arms and said with a smile.
"One hundred thousand taels."
Looking at the thick treasure banknote in the opponent's hand, Lin Sheng said in a deep voice without changing his expression.
"Okay."
Hearing Lin Sheng's words, the man in the bamboo hat had no objection at all. He nodded simply and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
"There are two high-grade Bone Tempering pills in the porcelain bottle. The value on the market is about fifty thousand taels of silver. It counts as forty thousand taels. With the sixty thousand taels in cash plus this high-grade Bone Tempering pill, are you satisfied?"
As soon as the man in the bamboo hat finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and the small porcelain bottle had been shot. Lin Sheng raised his hand and grabbed it in his hand, opened the bottle cap and sniffed it gently.
A spicy and pungent feeling immediately came from it, but it made his body Vital Blood immediately boil a little bit.
Although he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false, based on this effect alone, the elixir in this porcelain bottle was definitely worth a lot of money.
"Young Master, please don't...Bone Tempering Dan is here... ah..."
This was Pei Er, but he couldn't help but shout.
But before he finished speaking, his voice turned into screams of pain.
Lin Sheng put the porcelain bottle into his pocket unceremoniously and waved to the man in the bamboo hat.
The man in the bamboo hat smiled slightly, flicked his wrist, and the treasure banknote was already in the opponent's hand.
After confirming that the treasure note in his hand was indeed 60,000 taels, Lin Sheng threw Pei Er over.
Then without stopping for a moment, the figure turned into a red shadow, quickly moved away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He kept watching Lin Sheng's figure go away, and the figure in the bamboo hat took his eyes back for a long time.
"Young Master, why do you want to let this child go? It's a waste of tens of thousands of taels of silver and you still need Bone Forging Treasure Pill. Why don't you keep this child..."
Pei Er, who was breathing heavily on the side, looked at the direction Lin Sheng was leaving with a look of confusion on his face.
"With your strength, even if this boy is not weak, he will definitely not be your opponent."
"This person is very interesting. It would be a pity if such an interesting person died."
Regarding Pei Er's words, the man in the hat just said lightly, and then his eyes fell on him.
"And you, why did you provoke others? If I hadn't arrived in time, I wonder if you could have saved your life this time!?"
"I..." Pei Er opened his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start and could only lower his head.
"Do you think that person just now didn't leave any backup plan? If I leave him behind, it will be very dangerous for you if I delay him."
"Young Master, what do you mean by this? Where am I in danger!?"
Pei Er was a little confused at first, but after he took a closer look at his physical condition, his expression immediately changed.
I don't know when the skin on his body has been stained with a layer of dark brown. Although his skin is dark, the dark brown color is still quite obvious, especially when it is rapidly flowing towards the uninfected skin.
"This is... extremely poisonous!!"
He immediately realized that he had been poisoned without knowing when, and he immediately wanted to use his energy to force out the poison.
However, this approach seemed to stimulate the toxins in his body. He only felt an indescribable cold feeling pouring from his body, and even his thinking was slightly sluggish.
Fortunately, the figure in the bamboo hat at this time had already taken out a porcelain bottle and poured out a red pill into Pei Er's mouth.
Only then did the indescribable bone-chilling feeling dissipate a lot.
"What kind of poison is this? That boy actually practices such powerful poison skills!!"
There was a look of fear on Pei Er's face. He didn't expect that he would find the other party's way without anyone noticing.
Thinking of the feeling just now, his Blood Circulation realm perfect Vital Blood power was penetrated by the opponent's poison without even realizing it. Even if the young master hadn't reminded him, he still wouldn't have noticed it, as if his perception of the body had been blocked.
"A very powerful cold poison, if used well, can indeed have miraculous effects. It seems to be mixed with other poisons, tsk tsk, very good."
The figure in the bamboo hat stretched out his fingers to pick up a trace of frost seeping from Pei Er's arm, and said with interest.
"Although his cultivation level is a bit low, he can still be considered a figure. When did such a figure appear again in Linjiang Prefecture... Tell me about you and him."
Although Pei Er was still a little uncomfortable at this time, he was much better than before, and he quickly told the whole story about his encounter with Lin Sheng.
"Is this so!? It seems that the two detectives who are following you are in danger. They dare to kill the people in Imperial Court at any time. This guy is also a decisive person."
Muttering a few words to himself, the man in the hat seemed to be becoming more and more interested in Lin Sheng. A smile appeared on his face, and then he looked at Pei Er.
"Okay, let's go back first."
"Where to go back?" Pei Er was a little confused.
"Just go back to this Zhoushan County. Aren't you going to hide here?" The man in the bamboo hat said calmly after taking a look at the majestic county seat behind him.
"But Young Master, Liu Tianci..." Pei Er was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was saying and quickly spoke to persuade.
"Needless to say, Liu Tianci has been looking for you for so long, doesn't he just want to fight with me? Now that he is here, let's fulfill his wish, and your toxins will need to rest for two days before they can recover as before."
Hearing this, Pei Er said nothing more.
He knew very well that since the young master had this plan, he could not change it easily, and he really needed to force the poison out.
Soon the two of them disappeared into the wild.
The other side.
Several figures have appeared in the mountain forest. Looking at the mess in front of them, the faces of several figures in black showed solemn looks.
"This is where the auras of Abi Xiu Er and Abi Xiu Er disappeared completely..."
"There was obviously a battle that took place here before. Although it has been deliberately destroyed now, but..."
Several men in black communicated quickly, and at the same time continued to explore on the ground. Finally, they exchanged their findings and finally obtained the information.
"The battle ended quickly. Abi Xiu Er did not last for three breaths. The person who took action was definitely not Earth-Drilling Rat Pei Er. He did not have such strength, but another master, but it was definitely related to Pei Er."
"Notify Captain Liu of this matter immediately."
After a while, a tall and tall figure had arrived here.
"Abi and two are dead?"
The person coming was none other than Liu Tianci. His eyes swept across the field, finally landing on a few men in black, and he said in a cold voice.
"Although no bones have been found, it should be in danger. The person who did it is very powerful..."
Several men in black immediately spoke, telling all the information they had found out.
"Master!?"
After listening to what these people said, Liu Tianci narrowed his eyes, and soon seemed to think of something. He chewed softly in his mouth, with a sneer on his face. He turned and looked in the direction of Zhoushan County City.
"Now that we have reached the boundary of Zhoushan, let's go to the city and have a look... I hope you won't disappoint me."
After saying that, several figures had already galloped away, and disappeared within a few ups and downs.
Three days later.
Zhoushan County, Inner City area.
At this time, the Inner City area was very lively. It would be no exaggeration to say that the gongs and drums were noisy. Several main roads were covered with red strips.
Especially the long street where Su Manor is located, the ground is covered with long red velvet carpets.
Because this day is the big day for Su Mei, the daughter of Zhoushan County's daughter Su Tiehe.
Outside the bustling long street, Lin Sheng was eating a meal in a three-story inn. He looked through the window at the huge wedding procession entering Su Manor, and then the newlyweds left and disappeared on the long street. He just looked back.
"He actually didn't take action."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly and drank all the fruit wine in the cup.
After that day, he circled back to Zhoushan County City. Although he had made a huge harvest, he did not give up the purpose of this trip.
After all, since we are already here, it is better to solve that Jade-Faced Man Kong Qi.
This is also a very lucrative income, and there is no reason to let it go.
As long as this commission is completed, plus the harvest three days ago, he will undoubtedly receive a huge sum of money, which will be enough for him to consume for a long time.
It's just a pity that he basically stared at the Su Mei for three days, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Until today when the other party got married, there was no trace of the so-called Jade-Faced Man.
"It seems it's not Su Mei, then it's one of Wang Hongli and Sun Yu."
Pour yourself another glass of fruit wine, Lin Sheng said to himself.
Of these two people, Sun Yu will be the next to leave the cabinet, 7 days later, and Wang Hongli 12 days later.
Thinking of this time, Lin Sheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
If this delay continues for nearly 20 days, if Jade-Faced Man is not in Zhoushan County, then the gain outweighs the loss.
He thought this in his mind, but still had no intention of giving up.
Having made a decision, he did not wait, but strolled around the drug stores in Zhoushan County city.
Unexpectedly, I bought more than ten kilograms of Spirit Beast Blood and devoured them all without ceremony. The activation progress of Third Imprint has reached 8%.
At the same time, he also purchased some highly toxic plants and medicinal powder to practice Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm.
Of course, he also changed his residence again and moved to an inn very close to the Sun Mansion, so that he could observe the movements in the Sun Mansion and the situation of Sun Yu at all times.
On another long street not far from the Sun Mansion, in a somewhat old inn, an old man and a young man were eating in the room.
Although the food on the table was just some ordinary rice and low-grade Mortal Beast meat, the old and the young ate it with gusto.
The two of them quickly ate up the several plates of food on the table, leaving not even a grain of rice in the bowl.
"It feels so good. I haven't felt so full in a long time."
Among the two figures, the younger one is a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old. His clothes are a little dirty and shabby, and there are even a few stains on his face, as if he has lived in the wild for a long time.
"Don't worry, brat. When this order is settled, grandpa will let you enjoy spicy food every day. Hehe, I won't let you enjoy the beauty of a woman until then."
The person who spoke was the adult opposite. He was said to be an adult, but he was actually an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
The old man's clothes are much cleaner and neater than those of the young man, but it can be seen at a glance that they are all cheap goods.
Although he looks quite young, his face is rosy and energetic, and he doesn't have any senility at all.
The power that he exuded inadvertently was quite impressive, he was actually a Blood Circulation master.
Regarding the old man's words, the young man had a look of doubt on his face, patted his belly and asked with some uncertainty.
"Old man, I heard that Jade-Faced Man is a very powerful scumbag. Can you withstand it with your old bones!?"
"Bah, you brat, how dare you look down on me, grandpa? Don't look at the fact that Jade-Faced Man is above Black List. If I were 20 years younger, I might be able to be on Black List, ranking higher than him."
Hearing the suspicion in the young man's mouth, the old man immediately blew his beard and stared.
This made the young man roll his eyes, but he quickly spoke.
"Okay, okay, I believe you. You are Black List number one when you are 20 years younger! But this Jade-Faced Man is so elusive, how do you know he is here?"
"Hehe, the mountain man has his own clever plan. Don't worry about it, you little melon. Just enjoy the happiness with grandpa..."
The old man pretended to be mysterious and smiled but did not explain anything. He just patted his chest confidently and turned to look at the Sun family's mansion not far away.
