Taking the Blame, Shifting the Blame
The fat traveling businessman did not leave Chishui Marketplace immediately.
After the trade fair ended, he returned to the inn.
The next day, a slightly fat old man with a flower beard came out of the inn and wandered around the stall area of Marketplace for half an hour, buying two items of low value.
The old man with a flower beard is the fat man who was a traveling merchant before, and neither of them is his true appearance.
Even though he changed his identity, he couldn't escape Pseudo-Core True Person's deliberate tracking.
Two more days passed.
Chishui Marketplace Two or three hundred miles away.
A fat traveling merchant carrying a gray cage on his back rode a black-gray second-order bird and shuttled between the clouds.
Except for Lan Chang'an and Pseudo-Core True Person, who hid his identity and cultivation, no one discovered when he slipped out of Marketplace.
"Is this fellow Daoist a traveling businessman? I have an ancient artifact that was recently unearthed, and I'm looking for someone to appraise it for sale."
Between the clouds, a burly man in black robe flew towards him.
"Sorry, I don't trade with people outside Marketplace."
The fat traveling merchant looked wary, even though the black-robed man's cultivation level was only Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
"You might as well take a look at which item..."
"No need!"
The fat traveling merchant controlled the birds and prepared to avoid this person.
"Your Excellency is so ignorant. Don't blame a certain family for forcing others to do something difficult."
The big man in black robe had a cold look on his face, his figure suddenly blurred, and there was a "swish" sound, leaving only an afterimage on the spot.
"Foundation Establishment Late Stage!"
Fatty Youshang's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual pressure at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Phew!
The black fist shadow, lingering in the violent wind, hit the scene in the blink of an eye.
Because of his vigilance, the traveling merchant fat man promptly used an extremely defensive silver shield and an arc-shaped silver light curtain to protect him in front of him.
Boom!
The silver shield shook violently, and the condensed silver light curtain instantly collapsed. Several cracks appeared on the surface of this top-quality defense piece Law Artifact, and the aura was extremely dim.
"No! You are not Foundation Establishment Realm--"
The fat traveler was horrified and retreated. He took two consecutive photos of Talisman on his body, both of which were Second-Order Top-Grade.
One piece of defense Talisman, one piece of Escape Talisman.
He gave up the ultimate defense Law Artifact, let the birds pounce on the big man in black robe, and ran away with the blessing of Escape Talisman.
As a traveling businessman, traveling alone has a lot of tricks to save your life.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy."
At this time, the big man in black robe faintly emitted fluctuations of elixir power, and his physical strength was strong.
One punch knocked away the top grade Law Artifact, and another punch penetrated the abdomen of the second-level bird, which was a devastating blow.
Whoosh!
Like an arrow from the string, the big man in black robe quickly approached the fat traveling merchant blessed by Escape Talisman.
True Person level Law Power fluctuates too obviously.
Therefore, the big man in black robe tried to restrain his elixir power as much as possible, only reaching 40 to 50% of its full power, and used it in conjunction with his physical strength.
Make sure to kill the target without causing too much noise.
"This True Person, spare my life! I am willing to hand over my belongings!"
The fat traveling merchant was desperate and begged for mercy.
The big man in black robe ignored him and controlled a top-quality Law Artifact Flying Dagger. The sharp sword flashed past, cutting through the defensive shield of the fat traveler, and chopped the latter from the sky.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a Escape Light flew from not far away, emitting Law Power fluctuations of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"Tsk, tsk, killing people and seizing treasures? I actually encountered it."
The visitor was a young man wearing a bamboo hat. He did not deliberately avoid the two men who were chasing and escaping. He looked quite confident.
"This fellow Daoist, please come to the rescue. Ah..."
Before the fat man's body fell to the ground, he was cut into two pieces by a knife that was fused with the power of the pill.
"No! This smell? Pseudo-Core True Person--"
When he got closer, the face of the young man in a bamboo hat changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away without thinking.
The big man in black robe took the belongings from the fat traveling businessman from the air, and looked at the escaped young man in bamboo hat Foundation Establishment Late Stage,
"Bad luck!"
Xiang Jinglong's face darkened.
In order to avoid revealing his identity and cultivation level, he tried his best to restrain the Law Power fluctuations of the True Person level. Otherwise, he would have to change places after completing one vote, and would attract the attention of the sect.
Unexpectedly, there happened to be a strong player at the peak of Foundation Establishment passing by nearby.
Look at the fluctuation of the other party's Law Power, it is definitely not like Rogue Cultivator.
"Since I let you see it, then you will have a share in seeing me!"
Xiang Jinglong gave a ferocious laugh and stopped pretending. The elixir in his body was shaken and he quickly attacked the young man in the bamboo hat.
Apart from the difference in appearance, the young man in the bamboo hat has the same cultivation aura as Senior Brother Zhuo himself.
Xiang Jinglong Although he has hidden his identity, he does not want to leave a third party behind. He plans to change places after completing this job and keep a low profile for a while.
"Pseudo-Core True Person, kill people and seize treasures! Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, there are such shameless people!"
The young man in the bamboo hat in front was running Law Power and shouting loudly.
"Seeking death!"
Xiang Jinglong's face was gloomy. As soon as he reached the limit of the attack distance, he controlled the top Law Artifact Flying Dagger and slashed towards the young man in the hat.
He is hiding his identity at this time. As long as he does not use Law Treasure and is not witnessed by familiar monks, his identity will not be revealed easily.
"Senior, please show mercy, I'm just passing by--"
The young man in a bamboo hat hurriedly offered up a Black Umbrella Law Artifact, holding up a thick layer of Black Flame Fire Shield to protect his whole body.
This top-quality Law Artifact is the top product of its kind. It is also the Law Artifact that "Night Fisherman" once used.
There was a loud bang, Black Flame Fire Shield was breached, and the fierce wind of fire swept more than ten feet.
The smoke and smoke from the fire have not dissipated yet.
A green shadow Escape Light, like a meteor in the sky, flies into the distance at an astonishing speed.
"Quasi-Third-Order Escape Talisman!"
Xiang Jinglong's complexion changed slightly and his brows furrowed.
He himself is not good at speed. It would take a lot of effort to chase down this person.
And it may cause another incident and really expose the identity.
"Pseudo-Core True Person, kill people and seize treasure--"
The green shadow Escape Light was flying and transmitting sounds.
As a result, it is even harder to chase Xiang Jinglong. After all, there are many people around Marketplace.
"Hahaha! Being able to escape from "He" is a feat of yours!"
Xiang Jinglong roared loudly, the sound was transmitted several miles away, then changed direction and flew to a remote area.
"He?"
The young man in the bamboo hat had a strange look on his face, confirming that Pseudo-Core True Person had given up the pursuit.
He did not expect that Xiang Jinglong would be so cautious this time.
He has never exposed his identity or used his Law Treasure.
Xiang Jinglong kills people and seizes treasures, restrains Law Power, and uses the best Law Artifact.
If he hadn't appeared, even if there were monks passing by nearby, as long as they didn't get close, they would have mistaken him for Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
However, Xiang Jinglong Pseudo-Core True Person's cultivation was eventually exposed.
"It doesn't matter whether you are Xiang Jinglong or He Yuanwu. As long as Senior Brother Zhuo has left traces nearby and had an encounter with Pseudo-Core True Person, the blame will be thrown away."
Lan Chang'an The young man in a bamboo hat transformed by "Hundred Illusion Mask" holds the Black Umbrella Law Artifact that Night Fisherman used to be, and flies rapidly through the sky.
Because it is near Marketplace, it is inevitable that other monks will find it on the way.
The Quasi-Third-Order Escape Talisman he used was also the one Senior Brother Zhuo obtained from Song Wenshu.
The breath of Law Power, the Law Artifact used, and the means of escaping are all consistent with the "identity of the deceased".
Two hours later.
Chishui Marketplace Hundreds of miles away, Python Cave is under a cliff.
Lan Chang'an stood under the shade of the tree, watching the situation of Python Cave.
Because Senior Brother Zhuo was given Restriction, there was no movement in the cave.
Squeak!
Earth Rock Rat stood at his feet, looking curiously.
After a cup of tea.
Lan Chang'an is sure that Senior Brother Zhuo has completely expired.
It's not that Lan Chang'an doesn't want to give Senior Brother Zhuo a good time.
The main reason is that this person has a great background and is the great-grandson of the core elder Blazing Fire Palace.
Previous Life of Lan Chang'an knows a secret technique of death mark.
The direct descendants of some ancient forces may have had such secret techniques applied to them.
Once killed by someone, the killer's body will be contaminated with aura or marked.
In fact, the probability of this possibility appearing in Senior Brother Zhuo is not high.
Lan Chang'an is cautious and does not want to do it himself.
"Nothing unusual..."
After waiting for a long time, Lan Chang'an merged his mind into Nine Imprint Tablet, powerful Divine Sense, and checked the situation inside Python Cave.
Phew!
Before leaving, Lan Chang'an cast Fire Element Law Technique, and the blazing fire engulfed the entire Python Cave, completely destroying the corpse and eliminating traces of it.
After doing this, he readjusted his identity and embarked on his return journey.
"Nearly half a year has passed since the original battle with "Night Fisherman". Normally, Senior Brother Zhuo has recovered from his injuries, and only False Core or above can kill him."
"The time, place, and person have all been separated from Wuqi Mountain."
On the way back, Lan Chang'an briefly sorted it out and determined that there were no obvious omissions in this matter.
Liang Kingdom hinterland.
On top of the dark red hot magma, stands a magnificent and bright palace building.
This is the location of the Liang Kingdom's first sect "Blazing Fire Palace". It is located in an underground space covering hundreds of miles, and the fire Spiritual Qi is extremely strong.
Blazing Fire Palace shanmen, Law Enforcement Hall.
In a solemn and cold palace.
Dingka!
A Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm and had thick eyebrows and a Chinese character face, suddenly opened his palm, and a piece of broken blood jade appeared on it.
"To the east of Northern Region, it should be the area of the Mo Clan..."
Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man stared at the broken blood jade in his hand, closed his eyes for a few breaths, and came to a preliminary conclusion.
His face looked slightly gloomy.
Such a good chess piece suddenly died suddenly.
After pondering for a moment, Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man waved and typed out a Sound Transmission Talisman, then closed his eyes Spirit Nourishing.
Half a day later.
An elegant and elegant Green-Robed Man hurried over.
"Disciple Song Wenshu, I have seen Vice Hall Master Fang!"
Green-Robed Man saluted respectfully.
The Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man in front of me is the deputy hall master of the Blazing Fire Palace Law Enforcement Hall.
The hall leader of the Law Enforcement Hall is also served by the law enforcement elder.
This Vice Hall Master Fang is equivalent to the second most powerful figure in the Nascent Soul-level law enforcement agency.
"Zhuo Yangping is dead."
Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man's tone was calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of depression in the palace.
"Senior Brother Zhuo is dead?"
Song Wenshu's face was shocked, looking in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Zhuo has Magic Treasure Prototype, and Quasi-Third-Order Escape Talisman, unless True Person takes action..."
To be precise, it would take some effort for Pseudo-Core True Person to kill Senior Brother Zhuo.
"With Zhuo Yangping's strength, he will not die without leaving any trace."
Iron-Clad Middle-Aged Man paused and ordered:
"Wen Shu, please investigate this matter privately and don't alert other people in the door."
Updated on the 24th, probably after midnight.
