Chapter 2486: Defying Heaven's Mandate

“This Outer Building cultivator is too old; looking at him just makes me lose my appetite,” the coroner Wang casually commented as he brushed past and went downstairs. “His physical body is also very weak, essentially no collection value.”

Beneath his long skirt, a small ball of flesh bulged from his abdomen, then slowly disappeared.

Although there was no collection value, it didn't prevent him from taking a bite.

A passing stranger, and an Outer Building realm cultivation – as a professional killer, it was impossible for him to relax his vigilance in any way.

“Yes,” the nearby Lin Guangming said. “His soul isn't even full; I'm too lazy to even look at him again.”

Of course, the sound of their conversation was only transmitted through each other's consciousness.

“When can we catch Xu San?” the coroner Wang's voice was faint. “Last time he even called me a dead pervert. I let him off the hook, and he thinks he's so capable.”

Collections like Xu San were simply absolute rarities.

“He is indeed quite capable,” Lin Guangming said honestly. “I can't handle him alone.”

“Aren't we two together?” the coroner Wang rolled his eyes at him. “As long as we are united and fight him with our lives, are we still afraid of not defeating him?”

“Brother is right,” Lin Guangming didn't refute. Anyway, whoever wanted to fight would fight. “Let's go, there's still work to do.”

The coroner Wang sighed. “Ha Xia Island is really hot, and it's not even summer yet!”

Just as they were walking and chatting, the young man who had asked for the toilet was already thumping upstairs.

He used the toilet quite quickly!

The coroner Wang swaggered downstairs, then Lin Guangming politely stepped aside. After brushing past the young man, they exited the inn one behind the other.

The sturdy young man, carrying a large bundle and a small bag, walked lightly up to the fourth floor. He muttered to himself, “Tian character… which number was it?”

He looked very hesitant… Standing in front of room Tian character San number, he began to knock on the door.

Thump, thump, thump.

The knocking sound echoed in the empty space, with no response for a long time.

“Landlord!”

“Landlord?”

The young man knocked and shouted at the same time, even pressing his hand on the door as if he wanted to crash it open directly.

The door of the room next to it was pulled open.

Tian character, Si number.

Miao Rutai stood behind the door. “You've knocked on the wrong door!”

“Hey! Landlord! Look at my memory.” The young man carried his bundle inside.

Miao Rutai closed the door again and conveniently opened a sound insulation array disk, placing it on the tea table.

The young man then half-squatted on the ground, unpacked his bundle, took out magic tools one by one, and skillfully set up an array in the room.

For even True Persons who were surrounded and killed more than once by the Hell No Door, Outer Building cultivators were indeed very ordinary. But placed in the world, they were all strong in their own right; furthermore, those with Divine and Bright realm cultivation were qualified to establish a country.

Especially Miao Rutai, as the younger brother of the Cang Shu County guard, was one of the few capable members of the Miao family. He was very resourceful in handling matters.

He had locked onto the secret figure of the Tian family, but wasn't in a hurry to capture him. Instead, he first let his subordinate investigate the situation using the excuse of remembering the wrong room, while he secretly observed from the room next door.

“Doesn't seem like anyone's here!” the young man said while setting up the array. “No one's responding, and I can't sense any human qi.”

“Isn't the lack of human qi the problem?” Miao Rutai was full of confidence.

“Yes!” the young man also realized.

This room was clearly fully booked, and it was a monthly package. How could there be no human qi? Could the booked room be a corpse?

“And the induction of the Tian family bloodline is abnormally strong here,” Miao Rutai calmly analyzed. “He's obviously hiding inside. Maybe he's doing something illicit and hiding here, or waiting for the time to do something – this person is very vigilant, extremely cautious, and unwilling to take even a little risk. From the moment I entered the room until now, there hasn't been a sound from his side, not even a ripple of Dao Yuan. He's obviously stationary in some place, constantly examining the environment. Once this person makes a move, it will necessarily shake the world. You just knocked on the door; it's possible you've already alerted him.”

“What do we do next?” the young man felt nervous. “Still according to the original plan?”

Miao Rutai leaned against the wall and thought quietly for a while. “Have you discovered anything while patrolling nearby?”

“I often run around the island. Although I don't come to Ha Xia Island often, I'm quite familiar with it. I even checked the toilets——” The young man shook his head. “I didn't find any abnormal situation.”

Miao Rutai once again confirmed that the array was effective and that he was in peak condition. Then he turned back and looked at the wall. “Then let's see what kind of illicit things this sneaky secret direct descendant of the Tian family is doing.”

He reached out and pressed on the wall. Dao Yuan flowed slowly, and the wood and stone wall naturally arched open a door.

He held a knife in his hand and silently entered through the door. Dao Yuan instantly filled his body, and the Dao formula he had prepared was also precisely pressed out. Countless vines roamed around the wall like a group of snakes!

But everything he saw was completely different from any of his guesses——

Inside the large Tian character room, there really wasn't a single human figure. Even the table, chairs, bed, stool, and so on were all moved out, leaving only a gloomy, strange altar that faintly emitted a bloody smell!

Miao Rutai lowered his head and looked at his ring. If there was no one in the room, where did the induction related to the Tian family bloodline come from? Why was it still so dense?

The strange curse patterns on the altar roamed slowly on the stone platform as if they had spirits.

“My lord?” The young man behind him was a little scared.

Miao Rutai didn't pay attention, walked forward, drew his knife, and chopped——

The altar actively cracked open!

As if avoiding his knife.

Those strange curse patterns actually scattered and fled like startled spirit snakes, actually retreating actively, leaving the stone platform, and roaming on the floor.

And a blood coffin was pushed out just like that!

Miao Rutai's expression didn't change. He kicked open the coffin lid.

He only saw a completely naked male lying quietly in the coffin with his hands folded. His body's tendons were like plant roots, deeply buried into the bottom of the coffin. There were several knife wounds on his chest, as if someone had cut off his flesh while he was alive.

The ring on his hand was like fire at this moment, informing Miao Rutai that the person in front of him was the Tian family member he wanted to find!

“He… is he dead?” The young man behind him asked in a trembling voice.

“He still has a heartbeat.” Miao Rutai pointed the tip of his knife at the naked person's heart in the coffin, still calm.

The courage wasn't given to him by his barely Third Floor cultivation, nor by Shuo Fang Bo, who was currently a guest drinking wine in Jing Hai County to avoid alerting the enemy.

The Tian family was a famous family in Da Qi.

Rashly launching an investigation against the Da Ze Tian family and secretly capturing a Tian family member—if he could obtain the evidence Shuo Fang Bo wanted, there was naturally nothing to say.

If he couldn't obtain any useful evidence and faced questioning from the Tian family, Shuo Fang Bo would probably immediately cut ties with him.

He was, of course, prepared to bear everything, but he had the confidence to face everything.

His confidence came from the person he was loyal to, whose soul was deeply condensed with the Yellow Spring god seal.

The Miao family was the Bao family's in-laws, not the Bao family's servants.

As Miao Jingyang's younger brother, he was loyal to young master Bao Xuanjing!

Not Shuo Fang Bo.

This time when going out to sea, he openly followed Shuo Fang Bo's orders, but secretly received young master Xuanjing's orders.

On the surface, he was a net spread by Shuo Fang Bo in the sea, one of the ropes of the net. In fact, he was young master Xuanjing's backup, and his task was to guide the situation in the dark to ensure that matters developed in the direction young master Xuanjing wanted.

Although he was in the Outer Building realm, his power today… was not just in the Outer Building realm!

“Tian family, your matter has been exposed!”

He took a gamble and bluffed, his knife tip pointed remotely, and the knife qi was like silk, like a blooming flower that swallowed people, instantly pouncing towards the naked person in the blood coffin——

And it was exactly at this moment that the naked person in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes.

The knife qi, like ten thousand threads of silver silk, was all fixed in mid-air, then withered like a dying flower.

In the confused eyes of the person in the coffin, one bubble shadow after another exploded like beads in a chain. In an instant, they cleared up, emitting an indescribable fierce light!

Huang Shoujie felt very baffled.

If he remembered correctly, the body he had temporarily taken over was a Zhen Dao disciple, Jiang Nanpeng, the captain of the Thirteenth Team of the Mirror Guard on the Mirror World Platform.

What “Tian family”?

Jiang Nanpeng was a Zhen Dao disciple he personally introduced to the organization. There was a single-line contact method between them, and due to Jiang Nanpeng's wholehearted dedication, he had left behind a mark deep in his soul and would only give him the real key at a crucial moment, allowing him to take over Jiang Nanpeng's body.

That year, Zhuang Gaoxian and Zhen Dao cooperated and made a move against Jiang Wang through the Wei Guo person, Equality Country member Mei Xuelin, relying precisely on this Zhen secret technique.

However, Mei Xuelin's body was forcibly constructed and would collapse with the subject once it was opened. Jiang Nanpeng's construction, on the other hand, could exist as a long-term channel.

This was also an important means for Huang Shoujie, who, as the Head of the Jixing Si Dao Tai Si, needed to sit in the Tianjing yamen year-round, to conduct external affairs, and was one of the so-called real doors.

Jiang Nanpeng and Zhisi Chen Kai Xu, plus a mix of central heavenly prison jailers, actually lost contact as a whole team. This must be a counterattack by some force against Jing Guo.

As a core member of Zhen Dao, Huang Shoujie had an obligation to strive for breathing space for Zhen Dao after the Dao Head's death, Xing Ren's body's death, and the situation where other core members were all hiding to protect themselves.

And this time, the external force attacking Jing Guo gave him an opportunity.

So, in a situation where he couldn't contact Jiang Nanpeng, he still pushed through, risked descending his body, and had the thought of “talking”.

The greater the external pressure, the harder it was to clean up internally. He was willing to cooperate from the inside out, allowing the vast number of Zhen Dao disciples to once again grasp their fate.

Never mind being naked in this body, being pointed at by someone with a knife was also expected—— being naked and sealed inside a coffin was just strange, and the coffin being built on an altar was even more evil. The person opposite him, calling him “Tian family,” completely bewildered him.

Could it be that the person opposite him, who had made Jiang Nanpeng into such a mess, had recognized the wrong person?

Huang Shoujie reached out, clenched his five fingers, and directly grasped all the withered knife qi in his hand, wiping it away!

“Friend!” He said in a deep voice. “Can't we talk?”

Miao Rutai's eyelids twitched.

Indeed!

This hidden direct descendant bloodline of the Tian family was indeed an expert among experts.

Seeing the scene before him, how could he not understand?

This altar, this blood coffin, this body's strong strength…

At least the matter of the Tian family's direct descendant bloodline members secretly cultivating evil arts was absolutely undeniable!

There was no need for any clues from Ba Fu Xian Gong; just this alone was enough to promote the investigation against the Da Ze Tian family.

“Who's your friend! Evil demon and heretic! You want to talk? Kneel down!” Miao Rutai instantly shook the Star Building and sent a message towards Shuo Fang Bo. At the same time, he flipped his left hand, activated the array he had set up earlier, and pressed out a large Entwine Dragon Contend Sun seal, heavily bombing the blood coffin!

This seal shattered Huang Shoujie's attempt to communicate.

He discovered that the person opposite him was actually coming after Zhen Dao!

It was very obvious that Jiang Nanpeng's identity had already been exposed, and perhaps he, Huang Shoujie, had also been detected long ago, but the person opposite couldn't confirm his identity.

This trap today was clearly an Emperor Party plan to eliminate him, a core member of Zhen Dao. To use Jiang Nanpeng to lure him out, the person opposite didn't even hesitate to sacrifice other people in the same team… those might even be Dao Guo people!

“Evil demon and heretic… hehehe.”

Zhen Dao viewed other ways as “heretic”.

But those heretics often called “Zhen Dao” “heretic”!

Huang Shoujie raised his palm and flipped the sky, suddenly causing the starlight to stop, just like this pressing down on the distant Star Building, preventing Miao Rutai from transmitting a message. Then he leaped up. “Let's see what kind of array you've prepared for me, whether it's proper, and whether it's enough to cut off my head!”

He deeply understood the Emperor Party's methods and knew that after being exposed today, it would be difficult to escape disaster. He already had the will to die in his heart.

But for the cause of Zhen, he must burn out his remaining light.

At least he wanted to see what the Emperor Party had prepared!

Therefore, with Dong Zhen Yuan God, he suddenly displayed this body, unleashed the strongest force he could display at this moment, and pressed his palm towards Miao Rutai: “Die!”

Merely by the aftershock, the young man who was hiding far behind Miao Rutai turned into a mass of dry fog.

Miao Rutai himself, whose body was covered in armor, was also instantly destroyed, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

But at this moment, Huang Shoujie's leaping action suddenly lagged. It was the tendons in his body connected to the blood coffin that firmly held him back, like chains imprisoning his body, preventing him from flying.

He backhanded with a palm strike, cutting off all these tendons.

But with this delay, a strange change occurred in Miao Rutai's body.

First, a lump of flesh suddenly bulged from his back spine, then broke out of his body, flew into the sky, emitted a strange cry as if it had a spirit, and instantly broke the window and disappeared. Following this, a wisp of soul intent drilled out of his Tian Ling, drilled into the high sky, and hid among the clouds and fog.

These two things, one emitting corpse qi and the other emitting ghost qi, were absolutely not Miao Rutai's own, but rather parasites on his body.

Huang Shoujie was a little stunned.

Dao Guo should not allow such evil techniques, at least not publicly. Ghost methods were still acceptable, but corpse methods were openly prohibited. How could Ji Fengzhou, in order to exterminate Zhen Dao, truly use everything and be completely without taboo? Even people who raised ghosts and raised corpses were recruited!

Huang Shoujie immediately realized that this was the East Sea!

Jing Guo's influence here had already dissipated, and Jing Guo's forces here had already withdrawn.

That is to say, even if this was a trap targeting him, Huang Shoujie, the forces prepared by the Emperor Party might not be enough.

The corpse and ghost that flew away were very likely going to report and ask for help.

In other words, as long as he intercepted them in time, he might still be able to continue hiding!

The mountains were heavy and the water complex with no road, but where the willows were dark and the flowers bright, there was another village.

Huang Shoujie no longer hesitated. He punched down below, his body already soared into the sky, directly chasing the direction where the corpse qi and ghost qi escaped.

“Do you think this is the end!?”

Facing the fist that instantly covered his entire vision and feeling the crisis of extinction, Miao Rutai looked up and roared.

He couldn't care less what things had escaped from his body.

He only knew that his message to Shuo Fang Bo was stopped, but young master Xuanjing's arranged task couldn't be given up. He couldn't let the Tian family person who cultivated evil magic escape like this. This person was the evidence, the great cause.

Grant me divine power! Yellow Spring god seal!

He shouted fanatically in his heart, and the roar of a rushing river rang out deep in his sea of consciousness.

He felt violent power like a volcano erupting, howling through his four limbs and hundreds of bones!

More, more…

His body swelled and leaped up——

The distant rushing sound suddenly stopped.

He involuntarily fell!

Why?

Why didn't Yellow Spring Venerable God respond?

That fist just fell down.

Like a mountain, like a sea, it was difficult for a single dust particle to face the majesty.

With confusion that he would never know the answer to, Miao Rutai was ground into a piece of meat pie on the altar!

Inside the toilet of Shuo Fang Bo's mansion, Bao Xuanjing's small face was wrinkled, full of worry and bitterness, expressing a constipation-like entanglement.

It wasn't that he didn't sense Yellow Spring's touch.

But he did need to deliberate.

Not only because Bei Ya Du Wei Zheng Shangming was still staying in the mansion, but his body was also imprinted with the Patrol Inspector Du Wei seal, which was directly connected to the Lin Zi great array. Given his heavy responsibility, even a slight abnormal reaction at such a close distance could be captured by the great array.

Even more so because at the instant he mobilized Yellow Spring, through Miao Rutai's body, he felt a huge danger in the sea!

The scene was far more complex than Miao Rutai saw, far stranger than he had imagined beforehand.

Originally, it was a perfectly advantageous move, helping Grandpa earn some merit and rise in rank, and conveniently getting involved with Ba Fu Xian Gong. How could the Tian family's strength be so terrifying, and besides Tian Anping, they actually still had True Person level combat power?

How did they hide this?

There were no nameless True Persons in the world.

The Da Ze Tian family was a famous family in Da Qi, enjoying titles and salaries, with vast sealed land. How could such a noble family hide like this and fool everyone up and down the East Country?

As a long-lived existence, Bao Xuanjing had seen all kinds of inconceivable matters.

The more impossible things were, the more he thought about them.

For example, wasn't he just hiding in Shuo Fang Bo's mansion? How did he know there weren't other similar existences planted?

Miao Rutai's appearance there could actually make him feel a sense of danger and alarm, touching his Yellow Spring divine nature. The matter hidden within was absolutely not simple!

But no matter what, he had to personally see what happened to make the next step decision.

Bao Xuanjing cautiously mobilized Yellow Spring, carefully avoiding being traced, and provided distant support to Miao Rutai…

At this time, outside the toilet, a terrifying sound rang out: “Xuanjing! Are you still in there?”

The voice still said with concern: “Don't say anything, Uncle is just coming in!”

Bao Xuanjing's finger shook!

Hua la la!

In the dark, the Yellow Spring divine nature scattered.

Damn Zheng Shangming!

Bao Xuanjing's eyes were full of green light.

For an instant, he felt waves of dizziness.

Could this person actually be his life's nemesis?

He shook his head.

Wrong, if he had to say life's nemesis, only Jiang Wang, who was the weakness of Dao Tai, was qualified. What was Zheng Shangming?

Not right, very not right.

Bao Xuanjing realized that he might have made a huge mistake!

But where exactly did the mistake come from?

“Don't come in! I'll be done immediately!” He shouted hatefully!

“Xian Di! Didn't you say his soul wasn't full, and you were too lazy to look at him again? How did ghost qi all drill into people's souls!”

Diving deep into the sea bottom, Wu Guanwang fled urgently, setting up some interference arrays from time to time, while escaping and angrily scolding the sullen Lin Guangming who wasn't speaking.

“Brother, I just left one mind, afraid he would interfere with our altar, and as a result, the leader rebuked me.” Lin Guangming was very wronged. “Instead, Brother, didn't you say the meat was old and hard to chew, with no collection value? How did you all get caught?”

Planting corpse buds was usually done under controlled circumstances, because this technique was connected to the source of corpses and was quite precious. Wu Guanwang was not willing to plant them lightly.

When a corpse bud breaks through the body, generally speaking, it is harvest time.

Only this time, the opponent suddenly became so strong and wanted to destroy both the corpse body and the corpse bud together. To avoid self-injury, he could only operate the corpse bud to leave the body early.

Wu Guanwang of course didn't say that he relied on his many years of experience to detect the secret hidden in that Outer Building cultivator's body and wanted to swallow it alone. He only said hatefully: “If it weren't for the leader's matter, how would I lose so much capital! Xian Di, turn back and look, has he caught up?”

Jing Guo people actually still had this kind of body descending method!

The fish and vegetables on the chopping board instantly turned into evil sharks that swallowed people.

Why did he appear at this time?

Could it be that he wanted to give Qin Guangwang one at a crucial moment?

He was also fortunate that he didn't kill him directly. Otherwise, if this fellow exploded on the spot, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

But now that his trace was directly captured, it was also very difficult to escape safely in the face of such a True Person Yuan God chase.

Perhaps… he could only sacrifice one Xian Di.

Wu Guanwang's plan was already set. He turned his head and went——

“Xian Di?”

There was no trace of Xian Di beside him!

Lin Guangming didn't know when he had already secretly escaped, leaving only a ghost shadow in the original place to accompany him.

Saying he was accompanying him, he was clearly using him as bait.

How unreasonable, truly shameless!

Wu Guanwang had made his decision early, only closing that charming eye. The life force in this body instantly disappeared.

Hua la la!

The sea area of a hundred square li instantly cleared.

Huang Shoujie fled out of the water surface, still surrounded by water vapor. He grasped the remaining corpse qi and ghost qi in his hand, but after all, he had lost his target.

Not right.

Everything about this matter revealed something was not right.

He was a Zhen Dao person who didn't dare to be exposed, chasing and killing all the way while hiding his traces and trying to conceal himself. Why were these two big Jing Emperor Party people sent to eliminate him also sneaky and dared not be exposed? Shouldn't they be beating drums and calling for the army?

Didn't they report this matter to Qi Guo?

Was this a private action by Jing Guo in the East Sea?

Huang Shoujie didn't dare to stay for long. He grasped a handful of remnants, then turned into a dim light, sticking to the sea bottom and diving far away.

A bloody figure descended from the sky, carrying a small teenager wearing a witch robe in his hand.

Zhong Liyan's eagle eyes were like electricity, sharply sweeping over this sea area.

A hasty battle that ended abruptly, some very hidden remnants that seemed real and seemed illusory… well, he didn't find any useful clues.

Zhuge Zhuo held a large star plate in his hand, twisting his brow and calculating with his fingers.

Zhong Liyan raised his hand and slapped, hitting his calculating hand open. “Your fingers are almost calculating sparks!”

Zhuge Zhuo's face was pale and only now regained some color. He looked at Zhong Liyan gratefully——if Zhong Liyan hadn't interrupted in time, he probably would have collapsed in the more and more complex calculations and suffered damage to his divine soul.

Zhong Li Da Ye probably had no time to exchange feelings with a little snot-nosed kid. He curled his lip. “What exactly did your grandpa ask us to come here to find?”

He flew directly to this place after leaving Lin Zi. Star Witch adult specially greeted him, so the Qi people didn't block the way either.

He flew at his highest speed, instantly crossing land and sea, probably not because he was worried about someone standing up for Bao Xuanjing, but just to complete the Star Witch's task.

He just didn't understand what was special about this place.

Distant broken islands, broken water in sight, everything was mediocre beyond description.

Zhuge Zhuo shook his head. “Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed——”

Zhong Liyan raised his hand and slapped. “Speak human words!”

“Grandpa didn't say!” Zhuge Zhuo cried. “He only said to let us come to these few places to take a look. He needs to confirm something!”

“Confirm something… what?!”

Amidst the rattling of chains, a figure in single clothes and disheveled hair walked out from the sea bottom, casting calm and curious eyes towards these two, one tall and one short, Chu Country people!
