Chapter 352: Investigating Saihe Palace

Watching the back of Sha Lao as he left, Chen Fan could not help but grumble in his heart.

"Could this person be Sha Jing? That Quasi-Saint who controls sandstorms?"

Chen Fan felt a bit of trepidation, but he quickly suppressed it and stepped into the small building before him.

Upon entering the building, he immediately used the Thunder Eye Technique to cover the entire small building.

Everything inside the building was fully within his sight!

In this building, every room had cameras and wiretapping devices embedded in the walls.

There was simply no privacy at all!

Chen Fan did not intend to destroy them, choosing instead to pretend he was unaware to avoid alerting the enemy.

He came to the bedroom, lay directly on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, in a secret room within Saihe Palace, four people led by Princess Saihe were staring at the monitor in front of them.

On the monitor was the scene of Chen Fan's bedroom.

"Your Highness, are you clear on this person's identity? A young man with such talent has never been heard of before; appearing so suddenly, could he have some ulterior motive?" Sha Lao asked with a frown.

"I asked him on the road; he said he comes from a primitive tribe called the Tabuluo Tribe. You send someone to investigate this tribe and see what his background is."

"Understood!" Sha Lao nodded heavily.

Princess Saihe then looked at another person and said, "Sa Lao, you send people to watch here 24 hours a day. Report any abnormalities to me immediately."

"Yes!"

For the next few hours, Chen Fan never left the room.

It was not until evening that two maids brought dinner.

Chen Fan was not afraid of poison; his physical body could transform into Thunder, which would cause any poison to lose its effect.

After finishing dinner, he lay on the bed and began to ponder his next move.

The first thing he had to do was shake off the surveillance.

He believed that at this moment, there was definitely a pair of eyes watching him from behind the camera, and his every move would be seen by the other party.

If he were to walk out of the small building, he feared someone would secretly tail him immediately.

"How can I shake off the surveillance without making a sound?" Chen Fan began to think.

A moment later, a perfect plan appeared in his mind.

"This plan is feasible, but everything must be completed within half a second, otherwise it will be exposed!"

Chen Fan began to simulate the following actions in his heart.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, pretending to prepare for sleep.

He took off his top and tossed it casually.

The position where he tossed it was exactly the location of the camera.

The moment the clothing blocked his figure from the camera, his body vanished from the spot instantly and appeared outside the small building.

Immediately following, a Space Projection Clone appeared.

The moment the clone appeared, it immediately used the Teleportation Divine Ability to return inside the room, perfectly overlapping with his original position.

And at this time, the camera's line of sight was just revealed again.

Chen Fan completed all of this in just zero point three seconds.

The person in the monitoring room only saw Chen Fan casually toss a piece of clothing; the clothing magnified in the camera, blocking Chen Fan's figure, but when the clothing naturally slid down, Chen Fan was lying on the bed naturally, covering himself with a quilt.

Everything was incomparably natural.

This Ability User in charge of monitoring did not harbor any suspicion.

And at this time, Chen Fan's true body had already transformed into the appearance of a maid and was walking toward the distance.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were almost no figures walking about in Saihe Palace.

Chen Fan scouted the surroundings but did not find any place resembling a detention room.

Just at this moment, he bumped head-on into a man who appeared to have a high status.

Chen Fan was just about to go around him when he was stopped by the man reaching out.

"Marie, why did you come so early today? Are you impatient, or do you still want to experience that feeling of ecstasy?"

The other party had a lewd smile on his face and reached out to lift Chen Fan's chin.

Chen Fan felt disgusted instantly and hesitated for a moment whether to kill the other party.

But soon, a bright idea struck him, and a plan formed in his mind.

He immediately put on a shy expression.

"I... I didn't, I was just passing by!"

"Passing by? I'd be a fool to believe you! Let's go, little girl, let me have some fun." The other party, without further ado, hoisted him up and flashed toward his own residence.

Arriving at a bedroom, he threw Chen Fan directly onto the bed and impatiently began to take off his own clothes.

However, just as he took off his top, he saw a Dagger already pressed against his neck.

"Marie, what are you doing?" A look of confusion flashed across this person's face.

Yet the next moment, the Marie in front of him emitted a man's voice.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."

"You're not Marie!?" His face showed terror.

Chen Fan pointed a finger, and a Space Barrier appeared in front of him.

Chen Fan held the Dagger against his neck and said coldly, "Get in!"

This person dared not resist and had no choice but to walk inside.

Chen Fan entered as well, then immediately closed the exit of the Space Barrier.

With a squelch, Chen Fan stabbed his Dagger into the man's stomach.

The man before him could not help but let out a miserable scream.

"I ask and you answer; if your answers satisfy me, I can spare your life."

"What do you want to know? I will tell you the truth," the man said tremblingly.

"Mm, very good." Chen Fan patted the man's cheek with the blood-stained Dagger and said, "A few days ago, Saihe Palace captured an old Eastern man. Do you know where he is being held?"

"I... I haven't heard of it." The other party shook his head.

"You really don't know?" Chen Fan frowned slightly.

"I truly haven't heard of it, my lord, please spare me; I still have an elderly mother to care for..."

The man was weeping bitterly, and there was no trace of a lie to be seen on his face.

Chen Fan frowned slightly; he discovered a problem, which was that he had no way to distinguish the truth from falsehood in the other party's words.

But soon, he thought of a method.

He intended to try the Soul Contract method of the Turtle Spirit Beast.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly summoned the Turtle Spirit Beast.

At this moment, the Turtle Spirit Beast's injuries had recovered quite a bit, and its energy was much better as well.

"Master, do you have something for me?"

"Yes!" Chen Fan nodded and said, "Can you let me enslave this person?"

The Turtle Spirit Beast glanced at the man and said, "His Mental Power is weaker than yours, Master; it will be no problem."

"Then let's begin!" Chen Fan urged.

The Turtle Spirit Beast closed its eyes, and a Golden Contract Totem appeared in mid-air.

"Master, I need you to extract a drop of this person's heart blood," the Turtle Spirit Beast said.

At this time, the man was already terrified out of his wits upon seeing the Strange Beast speak.

Chen Fan pointed at the man's heart, extracted a drop of blood-amber essence blood, and flicked it into the Golden Contract Totem.

"Turtle Spirit Beast, does he need to shout out that he pledges loyalty to me next?"

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Fan kicked the man in the chest and said coldly, "Swear now, pledge your loyalty to me, and let your life and death be under my control!"

"No... this is an evil ritual! I won't do it." The man's face showed terror, and he was unwilling to speak.

Chen Fan gave him another sound beating, but the man stubbornly refused to open his mouth.

From the side, the Turtle Spirit Beast said, "Master, forget it; I can use Mental Power to suppress him and make him speak."

As it spoke, a massive surge of Mental Power invaded the man's Sea of Consciousness.

The man's face turned pale instantly; his consciousness blurred, as if controlled by an external force.

He spoke slowly, like a zombie.

"I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you, and let my life and death be under your control!"

As soon as the words fell, the Totem in the air shone brightly, transforming into two beams of light that entered the space between the eyebrows of Chen Fan and the man respectively.

The man shook his head, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "This lowly one is Leite; I am willing to follow you from now on!"
