Chapter 211: Chapter 176: Divine Beast Liang Gui

"What are you laughing at?"

Xie Wenren took a step back in fright at the Strange Person’s odd behavior, and as he retreated, his eyes saw the half-arrow being fully pushed into the Strange Person’s heart and flesh. Only then did he completely relax, and mockingly sneered again:

"You are about to die, and you still have the face to laugh? If I were you, I would regret not choosing a feng shui-friendly grave site earlier!"

"I’m laughing because Pei Yuanjing, the second most talented person in the world and the future leader of the Taoist sect, is about to die at the hands of a despicable villain like you. It’s truly a pity. If I were him, I definitely wouldn’t rest in peace!"

The Strange Person shook his head and explained, but there seemed to be no signs of death or injury.

"Hmph! You don’t need to worry about that! Rest in peace!"

No sooner had Xie Wenren finished speaking when his eyes bulged out, his mouth opened wide, his tongue stuck out and couldn’t retract, and his legs trembled uncontrollably until he finally knelt before the Strange Person.

For he shockingly saw the half-arrow that had pierced the Strange Person’s heart automatically retreat from his chest and then fell to the ground!

"Master..."

The shock in the kneeling Xie Wenren’s heart was beyond description. After swallowing his fear in gulps, he continued to plead anxiously:

"Could you spare my life?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The Strange Person, riding on Liang Gui, moved in front of Xie Wenren, stretched out his smooth, delicate hands like a woman’s and gently patted Xie Wenren on the head, soothingly saying:

"How could I bear to kill you?"

"Are you serious?"

Xie Wenren somewhat disbelieved his own ears, unable to believe that such a saintly person, who repaid evil with kindness, existed in the world. The next sentence from the Strange Person made him more fearful of him.

"I really like creatures as shameless, despicable, selfish, and unscrupulous as you."

"..."

Xie Wenren swallowed his fear again and ventured to ask:

"Master, are you praising me, or... scolding me?"

The Strange Person looked at Xie Wenren appreciatively and said contentedly:

"Of course I’m praising you! You are truly a rare breed of bad, and I like you so much!"

"Uh..."

This left Xie Wenren unsure how to respond.

"Master, please just say how you intend to deal with this villain. Stop torturing me! I beg you! I really know I was wrong!"

"Shush!"

Just as Xie Wenren was nervously admitting his mistakes to the Strange Person again, the Strange Person suddenly turned his head and looked around, then patted Liang Gui on the head.

Liang Gui immediately spat out a ring of smoke, enveloping himself, the Strange Person, and Xie Wenren.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Xie Wenren still knelt on the ground, not daring to move, unsure of what the Strange Person was up to.

"Someone’s coming, little fiend."

"Someone’s coming?"

Xie Wenren then saw several figures swiftly arriving from all around Fallen Dragon Pit; there were people from The Night Traveler’s Bureau, the Imperial Edict Office, and the Feathered Forest Guards.

These dozen people almost arrived at the same time, only from different directions.

"The Night Traveler’s Bureau’s Muqiang Baoshan, acting on Lord Yang Kun’s orders to investigate the earthquake!"

"The Imperial Edict Office’s Centipede, acting on the State Preceptor’s orders to investigate the earthquake!"

"The Feathered Forest Guards’ Twelve Valorous Cavalry Schools’ Pei Xingyan, acting on orders from the Eunuch in Charge, to investigate the earthquake!"

All three groups almost simultaneously announced themselves!

"Since we are all here to investigate the same matter, let’s investigate in our own ways!"

"Agreed!"

The three groups immediately started investigating within the residential area of Fallen Dragon Pit, but while investigating, they shockingly noticed that more than half of the abandoned dwellings in Fallen Dragon Pit were destroyed. Though battered, they ascertained one thing immediately: Chang’an City had not experienced an earthquake, but rather, two cultivators above the Clay Figure Realm had fiercely battled here, causing the loud noise and vibrations felt in Chang’an City.

They were all amazed at what cultivation level could cause such a commotion; regardless of the cultivation level, these two were above them!

After reaching their first conclusion, the three groups continued to investigate meticulously and methodically, each heading to different locations within the fallen dwellings of Fallen Dragon Pit so they wouldn’t overshadow each other.

The Imperial Edict Office’s Centipede group investigated the remaining dwellings, the Feathered Forest Guards’ Twelve Valorous Cavalry Schools’ Pei Xingyan group in the vicinity of Fallen Dragon Pit, and The Night Traveler’s Bureau’s Muqiang Baoshan group just above the ruins, moving near Xie Wenren and the Strange Person.

"They can’t see us?"

Xie Wenren was amazed to see the three groups completely ignoring him and the Strange Person.

"..."

The Strange Person turned his head and gave Xie Wenren a look as if viewing an imbecile:

"You are cunning, but you lack vision, which is why you are so stupid! Remember, you must become even more cunning and smarter, or else I will kill you!"

"Yes..."

This comment caused Xie Wenren to shiver, but it left him even more baffled about what exactly the Strange Person was thinking!

On the side of the five Night Travelers, three were searching meticulously, but the leading Muqiang Baoshan, hands behind his back and a face full of resentment, complained to a Night Traveler behind him:

"My pressure has been too great lately, and so has Lord Yang’s. Now they want me to investigate everything. I haven’t yet figured out the Buddha Bone Temple incident, and now they have me coming here in the middle of the night to investigate this matter. Tomorrow they want me to oversee the contest at the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master. Three events weighing on me, and I’m almost out of breath!"
