Chapter 299: The Charm Chaos
This night would later be known as the Charm Chaos!
In fact, the number of charms that appeared that night was too great to count one by one; there were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.
There was no shortage of fierce and powerful Living Charms, and even elite Living Charms at the Near-Latent level were numerous.
Fortunately, when it erupted, most of the martial masters in the city were present and took action to eliminate the majority of the charms.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the charms scattered in a panic, either fleeing outside the city or sneaking into the city to hide.
The occurrence of the event was like a stone dropped into water; although the surface tended toward calm, the ripples beneath the water continued.
After Yan Ping left, the charms lost control and rioted, and reinforcements from the two great clans arrived quickly.
The Qi Family's party was led by Qi Fengzhang; he did not waste words upon arrival, directly seizing Qi Fengxiao to escort him back to the manor.
The strong and well-equipped clan martial artists merely dispersed the charms blocking their path, with no intention of suppressing them.
The charms causing chaos was only a minor matter; what if Gongliang City were destroyed? The loss of a clan-protecting treasure was the top priority! To say nothing of the distant future, just analyzing the current situation in Gongliang City, with one of the two Qi Family clan-protecting treasures lost, how could they still stand on equal footing with the Xu Family? Facing the successive natural and man-made disasters, the Gongliang Qi Family's ability to resist risks would be greatly diminished! Xu Baigui looked into the distance, gazing at the backs of the departing Qi Family members, "The second young master of the Qi Family can be considered removed from the list."
From now on, the only Qi Family young master in Gongliang City would be the third young master, Qi Fengzhang.
The crime of losing a clan-protecting treasure was something Qi Fengxiao could not bear even if he were smashed to pieces, and it might even implicate the Clan Head.
This person, one of the key figures of the Xu Family, looked in the direction where Yan Ping had left, unable to understand: Was the Golden Immortal Dao so mysterious that it could cause a bandit to undergo such a complete transformation?
From this day forward, I fear no one will dare mention the names "Stone-Breaking Hand" or "Yan Ping" again; there is only one name... Moyunzi.
Because the other party was able to escape from the Baile Tianluo, make the Qi Family suffer a great loss, and walk away, he undoubtedly possessed the strength of the Strong Martial Level.
As the initiator of the Charm Chaos, this person's name quickly became a taboo in Gongliang City.
Zhou You used his Lightness Skill to leave the scene, intending to find a place to interrogate "Senior Brother" for his confession, then kill him to silence him and destroy the evidence, before returning to the city in his original form after finishing everything.
This trip was a successful display of dominance in front of everyone, and after accomplishing his goal, he retreated, helping Kunpengzi attract a huge wave of hostility.
It is foreseeable that those clan martial arts halls, unable to find him, Moyunzi, would surely turn the surrounding area upside down to vent their anger.
Kunpengzi has cultivated many forces in secret; it is hard to guarantee that he won't leave a trail!
And also... "Baile Tianluo."
This clan-protecting treasure of the Qi Family, although made of solid material, was very light, and when rolled into a ball, it was only the size of an infant's fist.
Zhou You hadn't noticed before, but upon closer inspection, the gap that had just been cut had actually shrunk by a fraction.
Looking closely, it turned out that the hair strands at the break were actively reconnecting and closing; they were actually healing themselves! This was no mere hair; it was even more formidable than memory metal.
Zhou You suddenly recalled a folk legend about dried corpses enshrined in temples whose hair and nails continued to grow years after death, which the world mistook for a divine miracle.
Later, after stepping into the Martial Dao, he learned that those dried corpses were golden bodies left behind after a Strong Martial Nirvana.
The so-called indestructible golden body means that the erosion of time cannot destroy it; even if there are gaps or wounds, the golden body remains can heal and grow on their own over the long years, which can be called miraculous.
To be able to cultivate the Martial Dao to this stage is not far from gods and Buddhas.
The hair in this Baile Tianluo, although severed from the main body for many years, still contained astonishing vitality and could heal even after being broken.
A treasure, a treasure that could be confirmed at a glance!
Zhou You had originally worried that using his nails to cut the net would make it too difficult to mend, as materials and manpower would be hard to find.
Now he was relieved; this net could close its own gaps, so there was no need to worry!
The only two things gained from this trip: the first was the Baile Tianluo, and the other was...
"Senior Brother" was as withered as a dead dog; apart from still breathing, his appearance was no different from a corpse. In this state, unless he spent time healing his injuries, he could not be formally interrogated with torture.
For Zhou You, there was no need for trouble; he simply sent a Blood Qi Gu of Bewitching Heart into his forehead.
After the Blood Qi Gu burrowed into the flesh, it quickly familiarized itself with the environment and began to imitate his blood flow, darting from the brain to the torso and limbs in the blink of an eye, leaving traces of its visit in all major vital areas.
This kid is a disciple of Kunpengzi and must have mastered many secrets.
Kunpengzi is old, cunning, and crafty, making it impossible to find flaws, but his disciple is much more useless! The Blood Qi Gu of Bewitching Heart began to take effect, digging out the things in Senior Brother's brain—including those memories hidden in the deepest, darkest corners of his heart.
"Hmm?"
Zhou You read a large amount of information and suddenly saw a familiar figure: Qi Wu Guniang.
This illegitimate daughter of a great clan had actually secretly defected to Kunpengzi.
Qi Wu Guniang admired the Golden Immortal Dao and, through the introduction of Senior Brother, took Kunpengzi as her master.
Kunpengzi is truly formidable; he even has undercover pawns within the great clans!
Senior Brother had ill intentions and coveted Qi Wu Guniang's beauty, trying to take advantage of her time and again, but never succeeded.
Qi Wu Guniang is also not simple; she actually navigated between the Zhou family and the Golden Immortal Dao with ease, never suffering the slightest loss.
Hmm, Senior Brother came to Gongliang City tonight to contact Qi Wu Guniang for a major event.
Kunpengzi is about to make a move and urgently needs to mobilize the pawns in the city to serve him.
What major event? Qi Wu Guniang is one of Kunpengzi's most precious pawns; she has been lurking for a long time, and he is reluctant to use her.
One must know that once her identity is exposed, she will be useless.
For Kunpengzi to sacrifice this pawn, it must be a very important plan.
Zhou You was suddenly interested and continued to dig into the depths of Senior Brother's mind, determined to unearth the truth of this major event.
The secrets hidden deep in the memory were like a maze, layered from the outside in.
Based on human instinct, psychological defenses are set up, and what is hidden in the very core are top-secret matters.
For example, Qi Wu Guniang's identity as an undercover agent was, in Senior Brother's memory, a top secret among top secrets, second only to information related to Kunpengzi, such as this "major event."
The Blood Qi Gu of Bewitching Heart peeled through the secrets deep in his memory like an onion, watching as it touched the core area.
Kunpengzi's conspiracy, secrets related to the Golden Immortal Dao...
Suddenly, the Blood Qi Gu of Bewitching Heart seemed to touch something and turned into ashes on the spot.
Zhou You was so startled that he quickly retreated; in his line of sight, Senior Brother erupted with flames from the inside out, turning into a human torch.
Within two or three breaths, Senior Brother was burned until not even ashes remained.
Kunpengzi is too ruthless; he actually planted a restriction in his disciple's body that would incinerate him the moment any information related to himself was touched.
Zhou You spread his palm; that Talisman Book had not finished burning, and it was the only harvest obtained from Senior Brother.
As for that major matter, in the end, it still could not be inquired about.
