The Lord sat deep in the darkness of the hall, secretly thinking about the follow-up plans in his mind.

He knew very well that Fang Yue's strength should not be underestimated. Now was the best time to kill him while he was seriously injured.

If he didn't have to preside over the formation here, he would not be able to escape.

He will definitely take action himself!

Fang Yue's existence is like a thorn in the demon clan's grand plan to rule the human world.

He is not only a martial arts expert, but also resourceful and has sabotaged the demon clan's plans many times.

This time, there is no way he can recover from his injuries successfully, and he will become a major threat to the demon clan again.

In the Great Chu Imperial City, although Fang Yue was recuperating from his injuries, he remained vigilant at all times.

He knew very well that whether it was the demons lurking in the human world or some hostile forces in Wei and Chu, they would never let go of him, a thorn in their eyes, easily.

The Queen of Great Chu called her trusted guards and gave them a serious order: "Strengthen the security around the courtyard and strictly check the people coming in and out. Don't let any suspicious people go. Also, let the brothers be vigilant and guard against the enemy's sneak attacks."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard took the order and left, quickly arranging personnel to strengthen defenses.

at the same time,

Han Chengzhi, the leader of the shadow guards under the Lord, is a mysterious figure who is covered in a black robe with only a pair of dark green eyes showing.

He came to Yecheng of Da Chu. Yecheng was a prosperous hub of Da Chu. Caravans traveling from the south to the north gathered here. The circulation of various materials was huge, and among them might be rare medicinal materials that were transported to Fang Yue for treatment.

Han Chengzhi stood on the bustling street of Yecheng, with people flowing around him, but he exuded a chilling aura that made passers-by unconsciously keep a distance from him.

His pair of dark green eyes scanned the surroundings as he secretly pondered how to cut off Fang Yue's supply of medicinal materials in this complicated place.

He first came to the largest chamber of commerce in Yecheng - Tianyang Chamber of Commerce.

This Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and has complicated relationships with all parties. It is said that many rare items shipped to the Imperial City of Da Chu have to pass through their hands.

And this huge chamber of commerce is a subsidiary of their organization.

He planned to mobilize people through the Chamber of Commerce to first find Fang Yue's location, and then suddenly attack and eliminate him.

Han Chengzhi was well aware of the influence of Tianyang Chamber of Commerce in Yecheng. If he could make good use of this chamber of commerce, it would not be difficult to find Fang Yue's hiding place.

He slowly walked into the gate of Tianyang Chamber of Commerce. The chamber was bustling with people coming and going, and the waiters were busy entertaining merchants from all over the place.

Han Chengzhi walked straight to the Chamber of Commerce's office, where the manager was a middle-aged man with a shrewd face.

Seeing Han Chengzhi's mysterious attire, he was puzzled, but still asked politely, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Han Chengzhi lowered his voice and said, "I want to discuss a business deal with your president. It's about something that will bring huge benefits to your chamber of commerce."

At the same time, take out a black token.

Seeing this, the manager had an idea. It was rare for the Chamber of Commerce to gain huge profits. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately took Han Chengzhi to the residence of the Chamber of Commerce president.

Lin Zhen, the president of Tianyang Chamber of Commerce, is an old fox who has been in the business world for many years.

When he saw Han Chengzhi coming in, a hint of vigilance flashed across his eyes, but his face was still full of smiles: "Your Excellency looks quite mysterious, I wonder what kind of business you brought?"

"Why, after so long, you don't even recognize the Lord's token?"

Han Chengzhi's words made Lin Zhen's heart tremble. His eyes were fixed on the black token, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He knew that behind this token stood a powerful and dangerous force.

Lin Zhen said respectfully, "So you are my lord's man. I am so sorry for your disrespect. What instructions do you have for me?"

Han Chengzhi nodded with satisfaction, put away the token, and said slowly: "President, I won't beat around the bush.

I want your Chamber of Commerce to help me find Fang Yue's whereabouts.

As far as I know, he is now recovering in the Great Chu Imperial City, and your Chamber of Commerce is well-informed. As long as you can find him, the Lord will definitely reward your Chamber of Commerce handsomely, and the wealth will be beyond your imagination."

Lin Zhen frowned, feeling very conflicted.

He knew that Fang Yue held an important position in Da Chu, and that the Queen of Da Chu attached great importance to him.

If they participate in the search for Fang Yue, once discovered, the Chamber of Commerce will inevitably suffer a devastating disaster.

But he also dared not disobey the orders of his lord, after all, the other party's strength was unfathomable.

Even though he now holds enormous power, he still dares not resist the other party.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Lin Zhen's forehead. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"Sir, this is not an easy matter to handle. Fang Yue is in the Great Chu Imperial City, and you know how strict the defense there is.

Although our Chamber of Commerce is more informed, it is still extremely difficult to find Fang Yue's exact location.

Moreover, the royal family of Da Chu is very protective of him, and any movement we make will be noticed, and then our Chamber of Commerce will be finished." Lin Zhen said with a bitter face.

Han Chengzhi's eyes turned cold: "President Lin, the Lord's order is not something you can bargain with. If you really don't want to help, then I can only think that you want to be the Lord's enemy."

Lin Zhen was shocked and waved his hands quickly: "Your Excellency has misunderstood, that's not what I meant. It's just that the risk is too great, let me think of a solution."

Han Chengzhi nodded slightly: "I'll give you three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, you should be clear about the Lord's methods." After that, he turned and left the residence of the Chamber of Commerce president.

Lin Zhen sat down on the chair with a gloomy look on his face.

He called a few trusted managers of the Chamber of Commerce and told them what had happened.

"I called you here because I have an important matter to tell you. You are all responsible for the affairs of the Imperial City. I want you to mobilize your men and find the location of a person within two days!"

Lin Zhen's voice was cold and sharp, his eyes fixed on the people around him.

After hearing what Lin Zhen said, these trusted managers all showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.

One of the managers hesitated and said, "President, you know that the Great Chu Imperial City is heavily guarded. If we openly go to investigate Fang Yue's whereabouts, we will definitely be discovered. This is related to the survival of our Chamber of Commerce."

Another steward also agreed, "Yes, President. And Fang Yue has a special status in Da Chu. The royal family protects him very well. How can we find him?"

Lin Zhen frowned and waved his hands irritably: "Of course I know this is not easy, but we can't disobey the Lord's orders. If we don't do something, our Chamber of Commerce will not be able to escape the Lord's wrath."

At this time, a smart steward came up with an idea: "President, maybe we can start with those who often interact with Fang Yue. For example, his trusted guards or the people who are responsible for delivering medicine to him. We send people to secretly follow these people, and maybe we can find Fang Yue's hiding place."

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this, but soon dimmed again: "Although this method is feasible, these people must be under the strict protection of the royal family. It is not easy to track them. And once they are discovered, we will still be implicated."

The stewards fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room was oppressive and heavy. After a while, another steward slowly said, "President, we have another solution.

We can spread some news about rare medicinal materials in the city, saying that our Chamber of Commerce has obtained a batch of extremely rare healing medicines.

Then, as long as they come, we can follow the clues and find the person's hiding place."

Lin Zhen pondered for a moment and felt that this method seemed to have relatively less risk: "This is a good idea, but we must be careful.

When setting an ambush, you must not let others see the flaws, and if you find that something is wrong, stop the action immediately. "

"Yes, President." The stewards responded in unison.

Therefore, Tianyang Chamber of Commerce began to act according to the plan.

They spread the news throughout the city, claiming that they had obtained a rare medicinal herb called "Blood Spirit Grass", which was very effective in treating serious injuries.

~~~~~
In the imperial city of Da Chu, when people heard the news that Tianyang Chamber of Commerce had the "Blood Spirit Grass", many of them were excited.

After all, Blood Spirit Grass is a holy medicine for body refining that can enhance the strength of qi and blood.

It is also a holy medicine for healing wounds, and has miraculous healing effects on many injuries.

The news spread quickly in the imperial city like wings. Not only were the martial artists and warriors excited, but even some dignitaries also looked at it with awe.

Sure enough, people from the palace soon came to the Tianyang Chamber of Commerce.

The person who came was a eunuch-looking man, followed by two guards.

He walked into the Chamber of Commerce in small steps, his eyes rolling around, and asked in a shrill voice:

"I heard you have Blood Spirit Grass here? My master has been ill recently and needs this medicine urgently. If you really have it, the price is not a problem."

The clerk from the Chamber of Commerce felt nervous. As expected, someone from the palace was sent so quickly.

But he still answered according to the pre-arranged words: "My lord, this blood spirit grass does exist, but it is precious.

We still have to confirm whether your master's illness is really suitable for this medicine. After all, this blood spirit grass is extremely precious and cannot be used indiscriminately."

The eunuch frowned and said, "Of course I know what my master's illness is. Don't ask any more questions. Just bring out the medicine."

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, this blood spirit grass is not in the Chamber of Commerce now. We have to go get it. Can you leave your address first? We will notify you when we get it back."

When the eunuch heard this, his face changed immediately. He screamed, "How dare you tease me! No one in this imperial city dares to tease me like this!"

The two guards behind him immediately stepped forward, put their hands on the hilts of their swords, and stared at the waiter with unfriendly eyes.

At this time, Lin Zhen heard the noise in the front yard and rushed over. He said to the eunuch with a smile on his face:

"Please calm down, sir. We have no such intention. The Blood Spirit Grass is really too rare. If it is out of that special environment, it will lose its medicinal properties. That's why we don't usually keep it in the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, if we need it, we can get it within a day."

The eunuch snorted, "You'd better hurry up, our master has little patience."

Lin Zhen smiled along as he invited the eunuch and two guards to a private room in the Chamber of Commerce that was specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

He ordered the waiter to quickly serve the best tea and snacks, while he sat aside and carefully chatted with the eunuch.

"Eunuch, have you tried any other medicinal herbs besides the Blood Spirit Grass to treat your master's illness?" Lin Zhen tried to find out more information so that he could better cover up his lie.

The eunuch rolled his eyes at him and said, "The imperial physician has prescribed medicine for our master's illness. Don't ask any more questions. Just bring the blood spirit grass."

Lin Zhen secretly groaned in his heart, but he still had to respond: "Yes, yes, you are right, father-in-law. I will send someone to urge them right away, and I will make sure you return satisfied."

After that, Lin Zhen called a waiter and whispered, "Go to the backyard and ask Master Han Chengzhi to get ready. When the blood spirit grass arrives tonight, we will start the action."

The waiter took the order and hurried to the backyard. When he got there, he found Han Chengzhi and told him what Lin Zhen had said.

Han Chengzhi nodded slightly, but felt a little worried.

He knew that this plan was full of loopholes, but now he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

He said to his assistant, "Go back and tell President Lin to make sure he keeps the eunuch under control and doesn't let him show any flaws."

The waiter hurried back to the private room and told Lin Zhen what Han Chengzhi had said.

Lin Zhen was nervous, but he could only pretend to be calm and continued to chat with the eunuch. The topics were nothing more than interesting things happening in the imperial city recently and rumors about dignitaries.

Night finally fell, and the entire Ye City was shrouded in darkness, with only sporadic lights flickering everywhere.

Inside the Tianyang Chamber of Commerce, everyone was waiting nervously.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the Chamber of Commerce and a clerk hurried to open it.

I saw an old man carrying a medicine basket standing at the door, and there was a faint scent of medicine on him.

"I'm here to deliver the Blood Spirit Grass." The old man said in a hoarse voice.

The clerk was delighted and quickly led the old man into the Chamber of Commerce.

All of this was seen by Lin Zhen and Han Chengzhi who were hiding in the dark.

Lin Zhen said respectfully to the eunuch, "Eunuch, the blood spirit grass has been delivered. I will go get it for you to take a look."

The eunuch nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Lin Zhen came to the old man, took the box containing the blood spirit grass, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he walked towards Eunuch Liu.

~~~~~~~
A moment later, eunuch Liu Xi left Tianyang Chamber of Commerce with the medicinal materials.

Lin Zhen looked at the eunuch Liu Xi's back as he left with the Blood Spirit Grass, and immediately ordered several of his men to follow him.

These men are Lin Zhen's carefully selected confidants, and are good at hiding their whereabouts.

They followed the eunuch Liu Xi quietly, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far, so as not to lose him nor to be easily discovered.

"Sure enough, the eunuch did not return to the palace! It seems that he followed the right person this time." One of the subordinates whispered.

They followed Liu Xi through many twists and turns in the city and finally arrived at a remote courtyard.

Liu Xi looked around the door and then knocked gently.

The door opened a crack, and the person inside seemed to have a few words with Liu Xi, and Liu Xi handed the Blood Spirit Grass in.

Lin Zhen's men were delighted, thinking that this must be related to the target they were looking for. (End of this chapter)
