Chapter 737: Everyone Has Serious Issues!

"Master!"

"The Master has made a move!"

Hearing that Buddha's name transmitted into everyone's ears, the three including Bao Tian froze, surprise mixed with a trace of regret.

The surprise was naturally that the Master would indeed be their guarantee.

The regret was not knowing how many uses of his moves would be consumed this time.

Master Xuanzang had explained to them that he was a powerful support, proficient in all kinds of support skills.

Things like flight, invisibility, armor, and the like.

He had also specially mentioned to them the "Boundless Dharma" which had not been used.

According to the Master, Boundless Dharma was an extremely powerful support skill; once cast.

The target would be blessed by the Dharma, transforming into a Buddhist Vajra Guardian.

Even more formidable than those martial arts masters who could shatter a large tree with a single palm, able to smash stubborn rock with one punch.

Once the Buddha's name sounded, it meant you had been strengthened, go quickly!

Although at that time, the Master's "go quickly" sounded like "go deliver yourselves to death".

But everyone believed it without doubt.

The three including Bao Tian waited for the surge of power, and then... then nothing happened.

The miners around them let out shouts.

A group of people turned into wild bulls, tanks, and charged forward.

The guards blocking the way were all knocked flying; for a time, no one was a match for them.

The three including Bao Tian stood in place, what was going on?

They hadn't been strengthened?

Why were other people strengthened instead?

"In that case, does it not count as a move?" Lin Zixuan suddenly spoke.

The Master hadn't strengthened them, but chose to strengthen others.

"No, it counts as one." Tang Luo's voice came, "Originally this poor monk thought it might not count, perhaps the purpose was too obvious this time, and the relevance too great."

Finding the scope of a "move" is not a simple matter.

Especially with only six chances to make a move, oh, now only four left.

However Tang Luo also didn't have a very strong intention to find the scope and give Bao Tian's group of five the greatest help.

If his moves were used up, he would bring Bao Tian and the others to a safe place, protect them, and wait for the mission to fail.

This way he could still preserve the lives of Bao Tian and the others.

Mission failure is still better than losing one's life.

This kind of move completely contrary to the direction of mission completion would definitely not count within the scope.

Right now, it's probably because Tang Luo strengthened too many people.

"Why aren't you running yet?"

Seeing Bao Tian's group dazed in place, Tang Luo gave a reminder.

The several people woke as if from a dream, hurriedly taking this chance to flee.

Tang Luo strengthened over three thousand people in one go; after being strengthened, these people weren't just delivering themselves to death, but truly charging up.

The power this group erupted with was something the mine guards, including those experts, could not withstand.

That night, several thousand miners successfully escaped the largest mine in the Kingdom of Daughters, scattering in all directions.

The specific number of escapees is still uncertain, currently being tallied with difficulty.

After the incident occurred and news spread, the Kingdom of Daughters was instantly in a panic, the imperial guards dispatched in force.

And according to unofficial reports, Her Majesty the Queen flew into a thunderous rage after hearing the report.

She ordered a strict investigation, not only to capture all escapees, but also to uncover the truth of the matter.

This is normal; miners, lowly men, escaping is a rare major event in the history of the Kingdom of Daughters.

It must be treated with caution.

In the mine gradually being cleaned up and restored to calm, several special "guests" arrived.

All four wore official uniforms, with imperial bestowed tokens at their waists, holding the power to act with full discretion throughout the Kingdom of Daughters.

None other than the Six Gates' Four Great Famous Constables: Wuqing, Tieshou, Zhui Ming, Lengxue.

These four strange appellations are naturally not names, but "codenames", or rather, titles.

Only the six gates' four most formidable constables can inherit the titles of Wuqing, Tieshou, Zhui Ming, Lengxue.

The Four Great Constables are not the court's most powerful fighters.

But they are definitely the four people in the court most skilled at investigating cases.

The four constables vary in age; the eldest, Zhui Ming, is a middle-aged woman nearing old age; Wuqing and Lengxue are not young either, nearing middle age.

Only Tieshou is relatively young, just over thirty.

The four appearing here simultaneously is naturally not to arrest those escaped criminals.

These matters naturally have other, more suitable people to handle.

What the Four Constables must do is investigate the truth of that night, clarify exactly what happened.

Although intelligence has already been known to them, on-site investigation and personal questioning are indispensable steps.

A good constable must do field investigation.

The four spent an entire morning, meticulously and repeatedly questioning, investigating.

Until noon they gathered together again.

"This turmoil would originally have been quelled."

"But a single Buddhist invocation changed everything; after the invocation, at least several thousand people suddenly became powerful, easily breaking through all obstacles and escaping."

"So our Women's Kingdom hating monks is justified?"

The several Divine Constables exchanged information in what appeared to be casual conversation, speaking one after another."

"Zhuifeng that little girl told me she encountered five somewhat special Outsiders; during this turmoil, those five Outsiders who had just arrived not long ago also happened to escape."

"Special?"

"How special?"

"The place they appeared was a prison cell, not the usual wilderness mountains and forests. That is not important; the truly interesting thing is that Zhuifeng slipped up during the process of apprehending them."

"Oh?"

Everyone immediately became interested.

As the disciple of Zhuiming, the most veteran Divine Constable, in a few more years, inheriting Zhuiming's title and standing on equal footing with the other three was a certainty."

"She actually slipped up while apprehending five Outsiders?"

"That little girl felt it was shameful, so she didn't tell me at first," Zhuiming said. "She fainted, without any warning, knocked unconscious by someone without her sensing anyone approach."

"Zhuifeng originally thought it was an accidental Qi deviation, but the more she recalled, the more certain she became that she had been knocked unconscious by someone."

"So Outsiders who know martial arts have finally appeared?" Wuqing said.

"No, the situation may be even worse; combined with that night, it is absolutely not merely knowing martial arts. This matter has a major problem!" Zhuiming said.

The remaining three frowned in silence.

By this time, actually quite a few people had already been captured and brought back.

They had also questioned them; after the "Boundless Dharma" Buddhist invocation, those people suddenly felt themselves filled with power.

This power lasted until they escaped the mines, and persisted for a period of time before disappearing.

And after it disappeared, these people became extremely weak, just like they had climaxed many times, limbs sore and limp.

This provided no small convenience for the subsequent apprehension operations.

Their descriptions and performances were as if they had received remote transmission of skill from a master.

Yes, the Women's Kingdom has genuine masters who can transmit power across empty space, letting an ordinary person become a master in a short time.

【85】 However, such masters number at most three.

Those people's descriptions and behavior were exactly as if a master had transmitted power across empty space.

There is one in the imperial court, one in the martial world, and possibly one hidden somewhere.

There cannot be more.

Transmitting power across empty space consumes a tremendous amount, even more than normal power transmission.

After transmitting, they must rest at least a year and a half.

Even those few "peerless" masters can only manage transmitting power to one person at a time across empty space.

Several thousand people?

No, simply transmitting power to two or three people across empty space would be enough to cost those masters their lives.

From one or two people to several thousand, the gap has reached an insurmountable degree.

After reaching this conclusion, the relaxed expressions on the several people's faces had already vanished.

"Is it possible?"

"All other possibilities are eliminated; what remains is the truth." Zhuiming took a sip of water. "Is that not so?"

As a constable, she had solved many baffling cases in her life.

In terms of strangeness and unexpectedness, this major incident actually did not count for much.

It merely appeared the most "impossible."

This degree of impossibility was like an ant lifting a person and throwing them outside the Women's Kingdom.

"Find these five people first." Wuqing produced five portraits.

This time, it was quite similar to Bao Tian and the others.

"If there really is a master standing behind them who can transmit power to several thousand people at once across empty space, then..." Lengxue said.

"We only handle solving the case." Zhuiming settled it with finality.

————

"Are we being targeted?"

"Drop the 'not,' we're definitely being targeted! Damn it! The Four Great Constables are all hunting us together. Speaking of which, why does the Women's Kingdom have Four Great Constables? And they're exactly Wuqing, Tieshou, Zhuiming, Lengxue!"

"This Women's Kingdom has a major problem!"

Inside the prison cart forged from refined iron, Bao Tian and the others spoke in low voices.

Under the situation of being watched by the Four Great Divine Constables, the several people stubbornly held out for three days, after which they were all captured."

"Why would it be like this?"

"They clearly tried very hard, and were very low-key, so why would the 'Four Great Constables' specifically come to catch them?"

"This is fundamentally abnormal!"

"Could it be that the Women's Kingdom has already discovered their true special nature?"

"And this is the Women's Kingdom, why would there really be Four Great Constables? This isn't a Wen Shu wuxia novel!"

"This Women's Kingdom has a major problem!"

The several people and the Four Constables "shared the same view as heroes."

Everyone has a major problem!

"Master, Master, are you there?" Bao Tian lowered his voice, calling for Jin Datui.

Tang Luo's voice reached the five people's ears, letting them instantly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the master has always been there, not being able to see him still leaves one feeling anxious and uneasy.

"Master, what do you suggest we do now?"

There is no doubt that the current situation is very bad; the five of us have already attracted the attention of the Daughter Kingdom.

Even in ancient states, an individual's strength is hardly able to contend with the entire state apparatus.

Not to mention, there is also the matter of martial arts.

"It's up to you to decide." The laid-back master Tang Xuanzang.

"Anyway, we were originally going to the capital; now someone is even sending us off, and we still have three chances—we can do it." Dong Feipeng said.

In the past few days, when the Four Constables had not arrived, they were discovered by a group of people.

Tang Luo made a move once, helping them escape, and thus consumed one opportunity.

This time encountering the Four Constables, the five of them didn't even have a chance to seek help—they were directly subdued by medicine.

Can you believe the Four Great Constables would do something like this?

"That's all we can do." The other four nodded in agreement.

Heading to the capital of the Daughter Kingdom, a final showdown!
