The undercurrent in Yongchuan City revolved around the Clay Figure Sculpture at first, but later on, after Li Jiang's death, the city lord discovered that the scattered Qi practitioners attracted by the Clay Figure Sculpture had instead attracted a key criminal who had been escaping from the sea for hundreds of years. .
The situation quickly took a turn for the worse. From being a clay figurine to a secret arrangement, he wanted to take great credit in the sea fishing documents.
Including Shen Hong, he was able to take over this matter through trickery and even taking risks, otherwise this job would not have been his turn.
So Shen Hong is very cautious. Unable to avoid the news leaking to the officialdom, he chose to skip the normal route and arrive at Yongchuan City first. Then there was no rest at all, followed by a cryptic meal.
Why stop at the inn for dinner first? Is Shen Hong really tired? Or pretentious? It's not that he needs time to arrange the array he brought in a relatively closed environment. For example, the private room in the inn he ordered is now covered by two formation disks.
Then Shen Hong walked around most of Yongchuan City. Taking advantage of the night, he didn't just go to see the excitement. He wanted to take advantage of the excitement to find out if there was any abnormal yin energy in Yongchuan City at night that made him sensitive. The appearance of streamers, or similar restlessness of Yin Qi.
Ninety-nine percent of the Qi refiners in the Hong Dynasty did not know this method. Shen Hong was naturally prepared as a member of the Imperial Sect Yun Sect. After practicing and becoming familiar with this method, he used it to capture the key criminal mentioned in the document who had been on the run for hundreds of years.
Facts have proved that the opportunity Shen Hong worked hard to get this time was not in vain. When he turned to Yuhua Street and some lonely streets in the East City, he could clearly feel the abnormal fluctuations of Yin Qi. There were even some streams of Yin energy that seemed to have just passed by and stayed behind.
The only person who can cause abnormal flow of Yin Qi is a ghost cultivator. Just like the ruts on the road, even if they are slight, you can still see them if you look carefully.
This shows that not only the information is normal, but also that a ghost cultivator has indeed appeared in Yongchuan City. It also shows that this ghost cultivator has not left and is definitely still wandering around the city.
Shen Hong recognized the information and judgment sent by Feng Mingyuan. It is very strange for a ghost cultivator to appear in a remote place where he should not appear. He also attacks evil spirits and high-level warriors to devour them. This is indeed consistent with the situation of a ghost cultivator who is "seriously injured and awaiting recovery".
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the ghost cultivator in Yongchuan City is not the one wanted in the sea arrest documents, it will still be a great achievement, but it will be at a discount. It's still worth Shen Hong's trip.
After finding out clearly, the trip would not be in vain, and at the same time, Shen Hong's bait was thrown out early.
After going around in a circle, he got Zhang Yangsong drunk on the pretext of winning money, and then disguised himself with green aura beads. He didn't believe that the ghost cultivator couldn't see such an eye-catching and tempting scented bait.
As long as he takes the bait, it doesn't matter whether it's the array in the house or the soul poison in Zhang Yangsong's body, plus Shen Hong takes action at the critical moment to make the final decision. He felt that the great achievements of this trip would definitely not escape him.
But Shen Hong didn't know that before he threw bait for fishing, his target had actually experienced the danger of capsizing in the ditch. Just because I was careless or didn't think carefully enough, I was almost killed by a monster. So the situation this time was different from what he imagined from the beginning.
The scented bait was indeed fragrant. During the night, he almost walked around most of the streets in Yongchuan City, and he had already been targeted. It's just that the "fish" has learned to be smart and will ask first: Is it really such a coincidence that the fat meat is directly delivered to the mouth?
The truth is that as long as you pay more attention and look and think more before taking action, whether it is a bait or a trap, it will turn over.
Sleeping on the bed, Shen Hong, who seemed to have quickly fallen asleep, was preparing for the attack. With your spiritual sense fully open, just wait for the target to take the bait.
As time goes by, the Yin Qi gradually gathers from the northwest. That clear beam of Yin Qi passed through Shen Hong's spiritual perception, making him feel excited, and he secretly said: It's coming!
But although the suspicious stream of Yin Qi appeared, Shen Hong did not find the ghost cultivator. It was as if the other party had left behind traces of their actions but had also concealed their ghost body.
How is this done? With the help of magic weapon? But the news is that this ghost cultivator has long been empty-handed and has no support? Where did the magic weapon come from?
Or is this ghost cultivator not the one in the Haidu document?
Although Shen Hong felt a little surprised during his doubts, overall it was still within his control. He was confident that as long as the opponent took the bait, no matter what magic weapon he held, once he stepped into the wing where the bait Zhang Yangsong was, the two sets of arrays arranged in advance would form a cage specifically for ghost cultivators. Not to mention the ghost cultivators who have lost their strength after being seriously injured, even the ghost cultivators whose cultivation level is in the Dao Dan realm may not be able to break free.
What's more, once the ghost cultivator devours Zhang Yangsong's flesh, blood or soul, it will be too late even if he discovers something is wrong in time. Only needing to swallow a tiny bit, the soul poison is a poison that takes effect instantly for a pure soul being like a ghost cultivator. The strength will definitely be cut off by more than 80% at once.
Shen Hong even felt that he only needed to take the final step to clean up the mess and capture the target alive.
But this time it seemed to be stuck. It was clear that the Yin Qi around the wing room on this floor was rising sharply, but there was no ghost in sight. And the trap set up next door has never been triggered.
"Are you still waiting and watching? I don't believe you can see through my arrangement! Can you resist the temptation!"
Although the scene was once again unexpected, Shen Hong did not do anything else. In his opinion, his arrangement was flawless and could not fail. The only thing required is patience.
But until Shen Hong suddenly felt that there were wisps of strange evil spirits and energy fluctuations in his room that should not exist, and gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling. At this time, when he opened his eyes again, no matter how confident Shen Hong was, I have to admit that all the arrangements I thought were foolproof have failed.
Because Shen Hong had pretended to sleep before, he only felt the abnormal gathering of Yin energy and the flow of Yin evil spirits in his room. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that the Yin evil energies were not simple, but formed into regular scarlet lines. It spread in the wing where he was, and was as fine as a web.
"You dare!"
Shen Hong shouted loudly and jumped up from the bed at the same time, with a strange-looking short stick in his hand.
"A mere ghost cultivator dares to trap me? Look at your insignificant skills like my thunder light!"
After saying that, Shen Hong swung the strange-looking short stick in his hand, and in an instant, a crackle of lightning flashed from the short stick. The lightning flashed together like a blade, and with the swing, it turned into a curved thunder crescent that illuminated the fine webs. The Yin evil energy network chopped through it.
This is another source of confidence for Shen Hong: wood is a thunder weapon.
And ghost cultivators have always been afraid of thunder.
