Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Just when Fang Yue was about to touch Han Chengzhi, Han Chengzhi's figure completely disappeared.

Fang Yue frowned, feeling a little annoyed. Han Chengzhi was really cunning and he could always escape at the critical moment.

The Queen of Great Chu slowly stood up and said, "Fang Yue, don't be upset. He is seriously injured now and it will be difficult for him to cause trouble in a short time."

Fang Yue nodded, turned to look at the Queen of Great Chu, and said worriedly: "You just consumed a lot of energy to resist him, I wonder if it will be a problem?"

The Queen of Great Chu shook her head gently: "I'm fine, I just need some time to recuperate. Fang Yue, your injuries have just recovered a little, don't be careless, it's better to continue healing as soon as possible."

Fang Yue responded: "Okay."

So, the Queen of Great Chu sat down again and began to practice qigong and regulate her breathing.

Fang Yue also returned to his position, ready to continue receiving nourishment from the vital energy of the Queen of Great Chu.

However, what they didn't know was that although Han Chengzhi escaped, he was not far away.

He hid in a secluded place near the other courtyard, thinking secretly in his heart. He knew that he would be severely punished if he returned after failing this time.

But he would be unwilling to give up just like that.

"Fang Yue, the Queen of Great Chu, just wait for me, I will make you pay the price." Han Chengzhi gritted his teeth, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He took out a communication talisman from his bosom, chanted a spell in a low voice, and informed his master of what happened here.

After the message was delivered, he began to meditate on the spot to heal his injuries.

At this time, in a dark cave, Han Chengzhi's master received the message.

He looked at the contents of the message and his face became very gloomy.

"Hmph! Han Chengzhi is a loser who can't even do such a small thing. However, it is a bit beyond my expectation that the Queen of Great Chu would use the method of dual cultivation to heal Fang Yue." The Lord muttered to himself.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the cave, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.

"Since they value Fang Yue so much, I will start with Fang Yue's family. As long as we capture his family, there is no need to worry that he will not surrender." The Lord said with a sneer.

The Lord immediately summoned several capable men under his command and ordered them to investigate the whereabouts of Fang Yue's family.

He himself was preparing to go to the capital of Da Chu in person. He wanted to see for himself what kind of capabilities Da Chu had to ruin his plans so many times.

In the Da Chu Villa, Fang Yue's injuries had mostly healed after a period of treatment.

His meridians have been basically repaired and his vitality has almost recovered.

The Queen of Great Chu also finished regulating her breathing, and her complexion looked much better.

"Fang Yue, how is your injury?" asked the Queen of Great Chu.

Fang Yue replied respectfully: "My injuries have improved a lot, thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

The Queen of Great Chu nodded with satisfaction: "That's great. However, we can't let our guard down. The people behind Han Chengzhi will definitely not give up. We must speed up the investigation, find out who is behind it, and catch them all in one fell swoop."

Fang Yue clasped his fists and said with a firm look: "Don't worry, I will do my best. We can start with the ministers in the court who we suspected before, and then send people to investigate those forces that may be related to Han Chengzhi."

The Queen of Great Chu nodded slightly: "Yes, I think so too. I have ordered people to keep an eye on those suspicious ministers and report immediately if there is any movement. As for other forces, Fang Yue, do you have any clues?"

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and replied: "I think the magic power technique used by Han Chengzhi is very unique. Perhaps we can find him based on the characteristics of this technique!"

The Queen of Great Chu nodded slightly: "This is a good direction. Then please tell me in detail, what is so special about this technique?"

Fang Yue said solemnly: "Your Majesty, when Han Chengzhi used his magic power, it seemed to have substance, as if there were black threads entwined in it.

Moreover, every time he launched an attack, his demonic power was mixed with a foul smell, which could not only damage people's meridians, but also erode their minds.

I feel that this kind of martial art may be related to some evil sects.

We can search for those forces or individuals who know about this evil cultivation method in and around Da Chu."

The Queen of Great Chu's eyes were stern. "Evil cultivation technique? If that's true, then the power behind it must be very dangerous. Fang Yue, continue to heal your wounds. Once you've fully recovered, then investigate this matter."

Fang Yue responded: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

With the help of the Queen of Great Chu, Fang Yue continued to heal his wounds.

As time went by, Fang Yue could clearly feel that the injuries in his body were getting better.

The meridians that were originally severely damaged have now been completely repaired, and with the nourishment of the vitality of the Queen of Great Chu, they have become even more resilient.

His vitality has also been replenished, and is even stronger than before he was injured.

After a few more days, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes.

He stood up, stretched his body, felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

~~~~~~~
At the same time, Han Chengzhi has arrived in the territory of Wei to look for Fang Yue's family.

Han Chengzhi disguised himself as an ordinary traveling merchant and traveled between various towns in the Wei Dynasty to inquire.

He knew that Fang Yue was born in the Great Wei, but the Great Wei was a vast territory and it was not easy to find Fang Yue's family.

However, their organization also has considerable influence in the territory of Wei, and Han Chengzhi quickly contacted some local subordinates.

These subordinates are usually responsible for collecting intelligence and acting in secret, and they are well aware of the situation in Wei.

After Han Chengzhi informed them of Fang Yue's basic situation, he ordered: "I'll give you three days to find out the whereabouts of Fang Yue's family. If you can't do it, you know the consequences!"

After hearing this, the subordinates nodded in agreement and quickly dispersed to investigate.

In Da Chu, after Fang Yue bid farewell to the Queen of Da Chu, he decided to return to the Wei Dynasty first to look for information about his master.

He knew very well that only by finding the master behind Han Chengzhi could he completely solve this series of conspiracies. Fang Yue rushed all the way and soon stepped into the territory of Wei.

He decided to go to the Wei Tianjian Division to inquire about information first.

The Great Wei Tianjian Division is well-known for being well-informed and having spies all over the place. Perhaps clues about the master behind Han Chengzhi can be found there.

Fang Yue came to the location of the Great Wei Tianjiansi, which was a magnificent and mysterious building surrounded by tight security.

After Fang Yue stated his purpose, he was led into the hall of the Tianjiansi by the guards.

He was received by an envoy named Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Fang Yue, you said you wanted to find out the news about someone who is manipulating things behind the scenes, but there are too many people in this world who want to hide their tracks. Can you give me some useful information?" Lin Yu asked.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This man has people like Han Chengzhi who practice evil skills under him. When Han Chengzhi exerts his demonic power, it seems to have substance, with black threads entangled in it. When attacking, the demonic power is mixed with a foul smell, which can hurt people's meridians and corrode their minds. I think this should be a not small force, and they seem to be planning something against Da Chu."

After hearing this, Lin Yu frowned slightly.

He had been in the Tianjian Division for many years and had heard many strange things, but what Fang Yue said still attracted his attention.

"I seem to have some impression of the martial arts you mentioned, but I'm not sure. You can rest here for a while, and I will go to check the files in the department." Lin Yu said and turned to leave.

Fang Yue waited patiently in the hall. His eyes wandered around the hall. Looking at the walls engraved with ancient runes and mysterious patterns, he couldn't help but marvel at the heritage of the Great Wei Tianjiansi.

After a long time, Lin Yu hurried back, holding a file that exuded an old smell in his hand.

"Fang Yue, based on the clues you provided, I found some similar records in the old files of our department."

Lin Yu said as he flipped through the files, "Many years ago, there was a sect called the 'Shadow Evil Sect', and the characteristics of their skills were very similar to what you described.

This sect was considered a cult at the time. Their training methods were cruel and evil, and they often used the essence of living people to enhance their own demonic power. "

Fang Yue's heart trembled, and he asked hurriedly: "Does this 'Evil Shadow Sect' still have any remaining forces? Where is their base?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "The file does not clearly mention whether this sect still has remnants. However, one thing worth noting is that this sect seems to have some connection with a mysterious valley on the border of Wei. It is said that the valley is often filled with black mist, and the surrounding creatures are corroded by evil spirits and become extremely ferocious. But this is just a rumor. There is no exact record of where the valley is. "

Fang Yue frowned. Although the clue was a bit vague, it was better than having no clue at all.

He clasped his fists and thanked Lin Yu: "Thank you, Envoy Lin, for telling me this important information. Fang Yue is very grateful."

Lin Yu waved his hand, "Fang Yue, you don't have to thank me. This is just the duty of our Tianjian Division. But you have to be careful, since the forces behind this dare to attack Da Chu, it must be extremely dangerous."

Fang Yue nodded in agreement, then left the Wei Tianjian Division.

He decided to explore in the direction of the border of the Wei Dynasty, hoping to find clues to the mysterious valley.

After Fang Yue left the Great Wei Tianjian Division, he rushed all the way to the Great Wei border. He knew that time was running out, and every moment of delay would allow the forces behind Han Chengzhi to prepare more.

Along the way, he encountered some small villages. The villagers in these villages saw Fang Yue in a hurry and cast curious eyes on him. Fang Yue had no time to communicate with them too much, but occasionally asked the villagers if there was any news about the black fog valley. But most of the villagers just shook their heads and said they had never heard of such a place.

After a few days of traveling, Fang Yue arrived at a small town on the border of Wei. Although the town was not big, it was located on the border, with complicated personnel exchanges and a lot of news. Fang Yue decided to stay here and inquire carefully about the whereabouts of the mysterious valley.

He walked into a tavern in the town, which was filled with all kinds of people, including traveling merchants, escorts, and some wanderers. Fang Yue found an empty seat and sat down, ordered a pot of wine and some simple food, and then pricked up his ears to listen to the conversations of the people around him.

"Have you heard? There seems to be some strange movement over there on the border recently." A man who looked like a merchant whispered to his companions.

"Oh? What's that strange noise?" the companion asked curiously.

"I heard that there is a forest not far from here. Recently, some eerie noises have been heard from here, and sometimes you can see black mist floating in the forest," said the traveling merchant.

Fang Yue's heart moved. He thought that this black fog might be related to the mysterious valley he was looking for. He put down his wine glass, walked to the table of the two merchants, clasped his fists and said, "My two brothers, I am honored. I just heard you mention the black fog. I am curious. I wonder if you can tell me the location of the forest in detail?"

The two merchants looked at Fang Yue, and one of them asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you interested in this?"

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said, "I am just a passer-by in the world, and I am more interested in some strange stories. If you can tell me, I will be very grateful."

Seeing Fang Yue's sincere attitude, another merchant said, "You seem to be a generous person, so I will tell you. The forest is about ten miles east of the town, but I advise you not to go there, it feels very weird."

After thanking the two merchants, Fang Yue immediately headed towards the east of the town.

Fang Yue rushed towards the east of the town, and along the way his mind was full of speculations about the forest. As he got closer to the forest, the atmosphere around him became more and more gloomy.

When he came to the edge of the woods, he could smell the familiar stench of decay, which was very similar to the smell of Han Chengzhi's demonic power. Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand and stepped into the woods carefully.

The light in the woods was dim, and black fog filled the air, obstructing vision.

Fang Yue could only move forward relying on his keen hearing and intuition.

Suddenly, a slight "rustling" sound came from the left. Fang Yue quickly turned sideways and saw a wild wolf with red eyes jumping out from the grass. It exuded evil energy, and its hair was messy and partially fallen off. It was obviously corroded by the evil energy in the woods.

"No wonder ordinary people don't know the information here. There are demonized and evil monsters here. If ordinary people come here, they will definitely die!"

Fang Yue swung his sword and cut. Although the wolf was ferocious, it was no match for Fang Yue and was killed instantly.

Fang Yue continued to go deeper into the woods. He found that the trees here were distorted in shape, and the flowers and plants on the ground were all withered and decayed.

Fang Yue continued to go deeper into the woods. He was extremely cautious with every step he took, always alert to possible dangers around him.

The further you go in, the thicker the black fog becomes and the more pungent the stench becomes.

As he walked, Fang Yue heard a low whimpering sound, as if many wronged souls were crying.

He followed the direction of the sound and found a small pool of water.

The water in the pool was a strange black color and emitted a sickening smell.

There were some animal skeletons beside the pond, and they looked like something had sucked their essence out of them. (End of this chapter)
