玩丰满高大邻居人妻

Chapter 340 - Zhuge Yuan

Fa Cai from the Sitting Oblivion Dao was killed by someone else.

Wait, could it be?

Li Huowang suddenly recalled Zhuge Yuan.

How is that possible?

“The Sitting Oblivion Dao wasn’t the only one who came here looking to find the Muddled One! Tell me right now who took the Muddled One?” shouted Ji Xiang, his aura vastly different from before. At the same time, his eyes were bulging to the point of almost popping off from their sockets and the white makeup on his face cracked.

He glared at the three sets of people in front of him.

But the palace continued to remain silent. No one answered him.

“Fine! Everyone, return to the capital! Once we are there, I’m sure you will spit out the answers!” Ji Xiang threw the head and left.

At this point, no one dared to go against him for fear that they would be branded as someone from the Sitting Oblivion Dao. All of them followed him quietly.

Since the carriage was not large enough to fit everyone, some of them sat on horses as they started returning to the capital with Ji Xiang.

As he sat on the horse, Li Huowang was feeling quite anxious. He only had the bronze coin veil and wasn’t sure whether that would be enough to hide his identity as a Strayed One.

But it was clear that some of them were even more anxious than Li Huowang.

Suddenly, one of the Li Huowangs jumped down from the horse and ran into a forest. The moment he did, the fake Hong Da and the fake Xin Chi also ran into the forest at the same time.

In the next instant, the roof of the carriage exploded as Ji Xiang held onto his golden abacus and chased after one of the members from the Sitting Oblivion Dao.

“Go and capture the other two! I want them alive!”

With this order, all of them scattered, each chasing after one of the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao members.

——————————————

Xin Chi ran into the forest as fast as he could. His body was big so he could not move as nimbly as he wanted in the forest. He was also the slowest.

At that moment, he suddenly heard something and he tilted his head, barely dodging a blade.

But his body suddenly shuddered and he found himself being lifted off the ground. As he endured the intense pain, he saw that it was an arm covered in bone spikes piercing out from the ground and into his abdomen.

“What is this—” He opened his mouth, but realized too late that he had spoken!

At the same time, a whip made from bronze coins being tied together by a red thread wrapped around his neck.

Amidst all this, someone shouted in his ear, “You think you are petty? I’m equally petty, motherfucker!”

The bronze coin whip dug into Xin Chi’s neck as Li Huowang continued to strangle him tightly.

Struggling, Xin Chi opened his mouth and coughed out blood. He tried to reach behind him to catch Li Huowang. But even if his hands became bloody, there was nothing he could do.

After that, Li Huowang used all of his strength, even resorting to biting into his bronze coin whip as he tightened his stranglehold.

At the same time, numerous tentacles burst forth from Li Huowang’s body and entangled Xin Chi’s limbs.

Xin Chi continued to struggle fiercely until he suddenly stopped. Then, he collapsed onto the ground with a forceful impact. He was dead.

Just as Li Huowang was retrieving his bronze coin sword, he saw Hong Da appearing from the side as he stared at Li Huowang his black tentacles cautiously.

After a moment, Li Huowang blinked and pointed at Xin Chi’s body. “He’s from the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”

Hearing this, Hong Da looked down at the corpse and saw that its face was indeed distorting into that of a mahjong tile and slowly nodded. “But Lord Ji Xiang said that we needed to capture them alive. Why did you kill him? What should we do now?”

“I couldn’t hold back in time. Sorry,” replied Li Huowang as he shook his gourd and waved it at Hong Da. Instantly, its jaws opened and it spat out several lifespan pills toward the man.

Hong Da’s large sleeve was like a bag that captured all of the lifespan pills. Then, he nodded with satisfaction. “It’s normal for youngsters to not be able to hold back. We still have two more people, and so Ji Xiang will not blame you.”

Hearing this, Li Huowang nodded and smiled, his black tentacles slowly retreating back into his body.

“Come, let’s go catch the other one,” said Hong Da as he turned and left.

Li Huowang was now slightly more knowledgeable about the Surveillance Bureau and the dynamics between their members.

The Surveillance Bureau was just a place for all of them to earn money, and they were not colleagues. At best they were acquaintances. It all depended on the benefits you could provide them. Depending on how much you gave them, they could either sabotage or help you in a mission.

When Li Huowang and Hong Da brought the other person back, they saw Tuoba Danqing and Ji Xiang were already back in the carriage.

However, at this moment, there was blood everywhere. In the middle of the pool of blood was a human face, a skeleton, and some discarded flesh.

Looking at Tuoba Danqing holding onto his mouth, it was clear that the victim had been tortured to this point.

Meanwhile, Ji Xiang was pacing back and forth as he muttered something.

“Senior Tuoba? What’s wrong?” asked Li Huowang as he approached Tuoba Danqing.

“Lord Ji Xiang managed to force the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao to confess. He had only said one name, Zhuge Yuan, before he was suddenly transformed into his current state. I don’t even know who that is,” explained Tuoba Danqing.

Zhuge Yuan? He was the one who killed Fa Cai?!

Li Huowang’s pupils shrank. He remembered the few words that Zhuge Yuan had told him.

First the Surveillance Bureau, then the Sitting Oblivion Dao, and now Zhuge Yuan. Since neither the Sitting Oblivion Dao nor the Surveillance Bureau managed to get their hands on the Muddled One, Zhuge Yuan must’ve obtained it. Just who is he?

At that moment, Ji Xiang suddenly stopped and looked at the remaining three people. “Let me ask you this. While we were at the Buddha’s Skeleton Temple, did any of you feel anything strange? Maybe someone did something suspicious yet reasonable at the same time?”

Li Huowang recalled his experiences and frowned. What was Ji Xiang talking about?

“Lord Ji Xiang, what is happening? Who’s Zhuge Yuan?” asked Li Huowang. He didn’t know why, but he felt like he was being sucked into even greater danger.

Ji Xiang didn’t reply and just continued mumbling, “I should’ve known that it was Zhuge Yuan’s power. It must be him. The world must be changing quite rapidly if even he is coming here to steal the Muddled One.”

After pacing back and forth for a while, Ji Xiang grabbed a horse and left quickly without telling them anything else.

“Lord Ji Xiang, Lord Ji Xiang!” Tuoba Danqing shouted but to no avail. He turned to look at Li Huowang and Hong Da. “Go back. Sigh, it seems that something has happened and I fear that we won’t be able to get any rewards.”

When Tuoba Danqing left, Hong Da looked at Li Huowang and asked. “Let’s go together?”

“Thank you, but I prefer traveling alone,” replied Li Huowang.

Hearing this, Hong Da nodded and left on horseback.

On the other hand, after Li Huowang ensured that there was no one else around, he walked back to the Buddha’s Skeleton Temple.
