For several days, Ping'an County was quiet.
No children disappeared, and no horrific massacre occurred.
But Chen Yuan felt the hidden undercurrent.
Maybe there is some conspiracy brewing.
But Chen Yuan was very calm on the surface. Apart from saying hello to Zhu Sihai, he basically went to get off work on time and practiced at home every day.
After obtaining Huang Yudan, Chen Yuan did not immediately devour and refine it.
He had swallowed too many tiger bone pills before and accumulated a lot of erysipelas. The marrow-cleansing beads are still gradually and slowly expelling them from the body.
This made Chen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. He originally thought that after purifying those erysipelas, the marrow-cleansing beads might completely lose their effect, but now it seems that he is overthinking.
This day.
It got dark very early, and Chen Yuan returned home calmly as usual.
As soon as he touched the door, Chen Yuan suddenly focused his eyes and saw a small trap he had set in front of the door. Now it had been triggered.
With his heart as calm as water, Chen Yuan's right hand slowly touched the handle of the knife at his waist.
Subsequently.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the door was kicked open with great force.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan did not look carefully at the darkness in the house, but he could feel that there was a black shadow inside, and he suddenly spilled the lime powder on his body.
I didn't ask who was inside.
Sneaking in secret is the enemy.
Immediately afterwards
"Uh-huh!"
Using the sword-drawing technique, Chen Yuan's feet were like wind. He took several steps in an instant and swung his sword with all his strength to slash at the shadow in the darkness.
With such rapid explosive power, even a master of bone refining would be easily killed. Chen Yuan was confident in this.
but...
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan's knife seemed to be stuck in the mud. Subconsciously, Chen Yuan wanted to pull it away, but... the blade did not move at all!
After realizing this, Chen Yuan was shocked. He knew that he had encountered a strong person that he could not stop. He immediately let go and wanted to escape from the room.
"call..."
A gust of cold wind blew through, and the oil lamp in the room was lit.
A plain and familiar voice sounded in Chen Yuan's ears:
"The strength is extraordinary."
The candlelight in the room reflected a face, looking at him indifferently, it was none other than Zhang Xuan!
At this moment, an invisible air current enveloped his body, and Chen Yuan's sword was imprisoned by the air current, unable to move. From a distance, it seemed to be stagnant in the air.
"Zhang...Master Zhang."
Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised his hands.
Now, he finally realized the gap between himself and the strong men in Ning Gang Realm. It was simply... terrifying!
That invisible force seems to be able to isolate everything.
With this thing around, hidden weapons, arrows, lime and the like will basically have no effect.
Zhang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, and the strong energy on his body was removed. Chen Yuan's long knife fell to the ground with a 'ding' sound. He looked at Chen Yuan up and down and said calmly:
"According to the information file obtained by this envoy, you were only a skin-refining warrior three months ago, but with that sword strike just now, you have almost reached the peak of a bone-refining warrior."
"Can you tell me how you did it?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, thinking about how to circumvent the situation so as not to arouse suspicion. He could not tell Mr. Zhang that he had traveled from another world.
The reason why you can improve your strength so quickly is because you have a golden finger, right?
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, it was impossible for Chen Yuan to tell anyone this secret.
This is his ultimate secret.
Seeing Chen Yuan's silence for a moment, Zhang Xuan moved his eyes slightly:
"Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. I am just curious. There is no need to try to deceive me."
"My lord, please forgive me. Chen once promised that senior that he would not disclose this matter."
Chen Yuan whispered.
There was no way Zhang Xuan could hide any lies he made up in such an urgent situation, so it would be better to remain silent first.
Zhang Xuan nodded:
"Yue Shan said, have you found traces of the Wusheng Cult demon?"
"indeed so."
"I am very busy on weekdays. You must be responsible for your words and deeds. If you are really found, you will not hesitate to reward me. If you dare to deceive me, you will also pay a small price."
Zhang Xuan's voice was very calm, as if he was just saying something trivial.
"Chen is very determined and will never dare to deceive you about this matter." Chen Yuan's face was very solemn.
"Tell me, where are those mice hiding?"
"Ten miles north of the city, Ci'en Temple!"
"Cien Temple..." Zhang Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"What basis do you have?"
Zhang Xuan is in Nanling Mansion, so he will naturally have some understanding of the forces in Nanling Mansion, including this branch of Buddhism, Ci'en Temple.
One of the few forces in Ping'an County that has Ning Gang masters in charge has always been very stable and has never caused any trouble, if it weren't for Chen Yuan's determination.
He even wondered if Chen Yuan wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"This matter starts with the massacre of the Liu family last month..."
Chen Yuan had already had an idea in his mind. He first said that he was keenly aware that the murderer might be lame and slightly fat in the Liu family's house, and then he said that he was reprimanded after reporting it to Huang Xing.
Later, after the Huang family's collusion with Wusheng Cult was exposed, they became vaguely aware of something fishy, and began to secretly investigate in Ping'an County.
Later, Chen Yuan wanted to interrogate Huang Xing but found that Huang Xing was dead. He thought that the matter was over, but he did not expect that when he was burning incense at Ci'en Temple, he encountered a lame monk.
At that time, he was shocked. After investigating this aspect, he found that many people who had been involved in accidents in recent years had either themselves or their family members gone to Ci'en Temple to burn incense.
Later, I learned from another channel that the abbot of Ci'en Temple has been in seclusion for a long time, and now the temple stewards are all promoted by the prison...
All these things are well-documented and logical, so there is no fear of being investigated. The only difference is that Chen Yuan changed the time.
Lies may be exposed, but the truth will not.
Furthermore, the purpose of the Tianxian Division is to teach the demons Wu Sheng, which is not a process logic.
Chen Yuan was just in case.
After listening, Zhang Xuan's eyes flickered, running up and down Chen Yuan's body, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, if what Chen Yuan said was true.
Then he is really a talent.
Coupled with his age and strength...
"As you said, all the evidence points to Ci'en Temple."
"Sir, it's better sooner rather than later. Ping'an County has been very peaceful in recent days, but I have a vague feeling that those monsters from the Wusheng Cult may be brewing some other conspiracy."
Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.
Zhang Xuan glanced at Chen Yuan and was silent for a moment:
"It's time for the crimes committed by these demons of Wusheng Cult in Ping'an County to be reckoned with."
"Tomorrow, take action!"
