The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 708 You are here

It failed... It was planned for many days in advance, and the "Judge" personally carried out the assassination, but it failed?

Is that Zhao Chen a sacred being?
You should know that the "Judge" on the main seat is different from the chief judges of the "Underworld" in various places. He is not a subordinate developed by any of the "Ten Kings of Hell", but the head of the Punishment Department who is directly under the "Central Ghost Emperor's Palace".

That is to say, this person has not yet been promoted to the "Dongxuan" realm, otherwise he would definitely be one of the "Ten Kings of Hell".

But even so, Lord "Judge" is also a leader among the top-grade magical powers, and he also holds a magical weapon called "Black Jade Ruyi" that can transform into a shadow, gather and disperse as he wishes, and is difficult to be harmed by ghosts and gods.

The group of black-robed people in the palace hall were all in disbelief when they heard the news of the "Judge"'s failure. They could not imagine how a cultivator in the Gangsha realm could have done it.

"Could it be that Duan Mingxue is stronger than what is recorded in the information? Or is there someone else besides Fairy Tang Miao who is secretly protecting Zhao Chen?" someone speculated secretly.

The "Judge" sitting on the main seat on the high platform did not show any frustration from the failure, but continued in a calm tone: "Zhao Chen is protected by the power of a real person, which is inconsistent with the information provided by the employer... I will apply for a review of this deal.

“Before that, all actions against Zhao Chen are temporarily cancelled.

"Also, don't be too conspicuous recently, lest the Six Gates and the military find you based on some clues... Don't forget the lesson from the previous 'Soul Catcher'!

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Hearing this, the people in black robes looked at each other in surprise. They did not expect that the "Judge" would give up the mission so easily. But on second thought, they felt that it was natural. After all, the reward given by the employer was only slightly higher than the Gangsha level, and reached the price of assassinating an ordinary monk with magical powers.

But this amount of money is far from enough for them to deal with a target who is protected by "Dongxuan" means.

After all the black-robed people left the underground palace, the blurry figure of the "Judge" took the file at hand, crossed out the name of "Yu Zhenzi", and then muttered to himself:

"You're always restless wherever you go. You can really cause trouble for me..."

……

Outside Wuguan, there is a barren mountain at the junction of Shanzhou and Shangzhou.

The burly Fang Baichuan walked quickly along the steep mountain path carrying a package, and finally entered a hidden cave.

There were three other people in the cave. One of them was lying on the ground dying, but the other two had not given up torturing him.

After Fang Baichuan came in, he first greeted his two companions, then stepped forward and crushed the man's fingers on the ground.

Unfortunately, the man didn't even have the strength to wail at this time.

The three men were named Fang Baichuan, Wei Baishu, and Chu Baihua. They were the cultivators who had used military magic to cause a big commotion in Wuguan Pass today. The man lying on the ground was naturally the abducted Taoist Yuzhen.

The three were originally officers of the East China Sea Navy. They were assigned to train together when they joined the army. And because they all had the character "Bai" in their names, they became brothers of the opposite sex and had a very good relationship.

A few years ago, Fang Baichuan fell in love with Wei Baishu's sister at first sight and promised to spend their lives together. Since the Fang and Wei families were well matched, the marriage was naturally settled, and they were supposed to get married this year...

But who would have thought that at the beginning of last year, Wei Baishu's sister disappeared inexplicably when she entered the customs to visit her brother and fiancé who were admitted to the military academy in Beijing. She has never been seen since. Fang Baichuan and Wei Baishu searched for a long time but found no clues. Finally, Chu Baihua mentioned that he had a cousin who suddenly disappeared after entering the customs not long ago. His uncle used the power of a prominent family to find the examiner at the customs, but encountered many obstacles and finally failed to continue the investigation.

With this direction, the three of them conducted more than a year of open and secret investigations, especially recently, with the secret help of a certain force, and finally locked on Taoist Yuzhen.

It was also because of the tacit understanding with that force that they chose the seemingly reckless attack, but they did not expect it to be so successful.

"So, has he confessed where he took Zhimei? If he doesn't, it doesn't matter. I can find an evil cultivator who is good at searching souls!" Fang Baichuan stared at Taoist Yuzhen, who was breathing in less and out more, and said viciously.

The Fang family he was born into was a family of practitioners affiliated with the Feiyun Sect, a major sect in Shanzhou. Their ancestral home was in the town at the foot of the mountain, so they took on the responsibility of gathering information and purchasing supplies, and did not participate in the interrogation.

"I confessed... My sister was sent to the capital by this villain because of her special physique... But he didn't know who was collecting these people with special physiques, and only revealed an address." Wei Baishu replied in a muffled voice, "So, we have to sneak back into the interior of the country.

"By the way, Brother Chu's cousin was also kidnapped by him. Perhaps we can seek help from Senior Chu in this matter."

Chu Baihua nodded, acknowledging what Wei Baishu said, then looked at Fang Baichuan and said, "How's Wuguan going?

"Since General Zhang of the Fortress didn't make it difficult for us to leave the Fortress, it must be related to the force we had contact with before... They are really powerful, but I don't know why they are helping us... or what purpose they plan to use us to achieve?"

Fang Baichuan shook his head and said, "There is no news yet, but I asked my brother Bai Yu to find out."

He paused, then added, "However, the Six Gates framed our attack on the 'Underworld'."

"The Six Gates are still like this!" Wei Baishu curled his lips in disdain. He had dealt with the captain of the Six Gates many times before for his sister's matter, but it was of no use.

"I just don't know if this is a pure frame-up, or if the force that provided us with assistance is the 'Underworld'..." Chu Baihua said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry about that for now... What we need to decide right now is how to solve his problem." Wei Baishu pointed at Taoist Yu Zhen on the ground, "And we have to do it quickly, otherwise if the Six Sects invite cultivators who are good at divination, they will find us in no time."

"Killing him directly is still too easy... But I know a place that can make people wish they were dead or alive. Ordinary cultivators can't figure it out." Fang Baichuan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cold smile.

"Where place?" Wei Baishu asked in surprise. Places like this are not simple.

"Do you know the 'Absolute Yin Land'?" Fang Baichuan glanced at Yu Zhenzi who was trembling even more violently.

"The extremely dark place that gave birth to the 'Fissure in the Underworld'? Is there such a place nearby?" Chu Baihua asked in surprise.

"Of course there is... This is the biggest secret of our family."

……

At night, in Wuguan City, inside a high-end hotel.

Zhao Chen, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the blurry figure emerging from the shadows of the furniture, and said with a smile, "You're here."
