Chapter 434: Chapter 231 Causality Map_2

"That’s not true, your perception, in the Day Trip Realm, is practically at a mythical level."

"See? If Peng Sheng had a perception as strong as mine, he would’ve done what I did a long time ago."

"Aye, you do have a point there, kid."

Since you’re an unprecedented genius, applying ancestral methods becomes more of a bind.

"The Tattoo Hall calls it ’using tools as weapons’, and for Bone Teeth to be a tool tooth fits its identity well."

Yun Ziliang was speechless and could only sigh—perception truly is the most crucial cultivation power in Jing Country. Reaching a certain level, it can alter many cultivation conventions.

"You, with your high perception, are indeed capricious. You managed to create the seven incense Causality Map after only failing four times."

Zhou Xuan saw Yun Ziliang refer to the silkworm pupae tattoo as a "Causality Map" and asked, "What is the utility of this Causality Map?"

"Between people, they often become each other’s cause and effect, and there are many kinds of causality. The seventh level of the tattoo map has three pieces, representing three types of causality,

The first map, with silkworm pupae representing the Alien Ghost ’Fu Mu’, marks the causality of hatred,

The second map, with the Divine Dog representing the God of the ’Divine Arrow’ Hall—’Gong Zheng’, marks the causality of life and death,

The third map of Peng Town, represents Peng Hou’s Divine Map, marking the causality of good and evil,

Hatred, good and evil, life and death are the three types of causality. Use them wisely, and they can be highly beneficial."

"How is causality utilized?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"If two people are bound by a causality of hatred, you can tattoo the map on one of them to find the other through the map."

Yun Ziliang said, "People tied by causality are linked by fate, and the Causality Map finds that invisible thread binding their destinies."

"That’s quite intriguing."

"This is a tattoo map only the Tattooed Clan with seven incense sticks can learn, so it’s naturally formidable."

Yun Ziliang left in a huff and remarked to Zhou Xuan’s successfully made ’silkworm pupae’ tattoo, "Although you’ve made the map successfully, tattooing it on human skin without cause or effect produces no results."

"I know that."

Zhou Xuan naturally knew this tattoo had no effect because his incense hadn’t increased.

"Right, the greater the causality, the more effective the Causality Map is, and more incense you gather."

"Noted."

"Well, I won’t say anymore. I’m off to play cards."

"Not listening to music?"

"After being immersed in art every day, I suddenly feel like indulging in something secular." Yun Ziliang walked out without looking back.

Zhou Xuan proceeded toward the landline to call well-connected friends in Mingjiang Prefecture, inquiring if they knew anyone with significant causality so he could create a Causality Map, gather some incense, maybe even for free... or with a small fee.

Just as he reached the phone, someone called at the door.

"Young Master, long time no see." Zhang Yifeng greeted Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan turned to see who it was and smiled, "Oh, the City God Order, I’m honored to meet you."

"Young Master, you’re going to shame me to death. I wouldn’t dare presume such an honor." Zhang Yifeng laughed and cupped his hands.

"You’re too kind. What brings you to my shop?"

"Mo Tingsheng has been apprehended by the Second Master. You mentioned last time that catching this Mo fellow could lead us to his accomplice, Jing Deng, and uncover clues about the Mingjiang Evil God..."

"Understood, you want me to interrogate Mo Tingsheng." Zhou Xuan shook his long robe and said, "Lead the way."

Zhang Yifeng quickly escorted Zhou Xuan into a car heading to the City God Main Hall.

...

The City God Main Hall has a stone house.

Inscriptions are carved outside the house. Before entering, blood is spilled to foul the stone house, and combined with the inscriptions, it isolates any means of eavesdropping on its activities.

To prevent any prying ears.

This room is rarely used, but Mo Tingsheng is extremely important, so they naturally activated the stone house for interrogation.

When Zhou Xuan entered the stone house, he saw Qing Feng and two City Gods interrogating Mo Tingsheng.

Seeing Zhou Xuan arrive, Qing Feng quickly stood up and introduced the two City Gods beside him: "Young Master, this is Incense Master of the ’Tang’ Banner, Supervisor Li Zheng... and this is also Incense Master of the ’Tang’ Banner, Protector Wang Xu."

The City God’s hall is extensive, with originally twelve Incense Masters divided into three banners—Wind, Execution, Hall.

The ’Tang’ Banner usually handles internal affairs,

and interrogating the most heinous criminals in the main hall is also internal work.

"Young Master, Mo Tingsheng is tight-lipped, insisting he’s just a businessman and doesn’t know any kidnapper. We haven’t extracted any useful information yet."

Li Zheng is the Supervisor, responsible for the main interrogation of Mo Tingsheng.

"Have you used torture?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Without any evidence, starting with torture wouldn’t align with protocol, would it?" Wang Xu said with a smile.

Zhou Xuan gave Wang Xu a gentle flick on the forehead and said, "Incense Master Wang, Incense Master Li, you need to change your mindset,

Mo Tingsheng is not a criminal; he’s a terrorist in Mingjiang Prefecture,

Crime requires evidence; anti-terrorism only needs a list."

The City God’s interrogation follows rules and protocols,

but Zhou Xuan disregards these protocols; the first thing he needs to do is verify the identity and confirm if this Mo Tingsheng is indeed the real Mo Tingsheng.

He first carefully observed Mo Tingsheng, and after a while, he said, "That face of yours is the same as in the viewer’s memory."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Zhou Xuan kicked Mo Tingsheng to the ground, shouting, "Get up and walk a couple of steps."

"You... you’re abusing your power."

"Didn’t you hear me? Get up and walk a couple of steps."

Zhou Xuan placed his foot on Mo Tingsheng’s face, rubbing it firmly with his shoe.

Reluctantly, Mo Tingsheng stood up and walked a few steps, then looked at Zhou Xuan with a face full of grievance.

"Hmm, the footsteps sound right, those are the footsteps of a kidnapper."

Zhou Xuan was quite familiar with the footsteps of a kidnapper,

The kidnapper’s two incense stick technique is called ’Stepping on Grass Without Trace’, leaving no sound while walking, but to Zhou Xuan’s ears, their steps sounded heavy and loud, far louder than a normal person’s footsteps.

"Mo Tingsheng is a three incense stick kidnapper, with the two incense stick technique in place, let’s see if your three incense stick skills are genuine."

At this point, Zhou Xuan kicked Mo Tingsheng down again, forming his right hand into a sword gesture and pointing at his right sole,

Bone Teeth flew out on its own, directly slicing open Mo Tingsheng’s foot,

Revealing a wound teeming with dense bony spurs.

This is the kidnapper’s three incense stick technique—Gecko Wall-Crawling, growing sturdy bone spurs on the soles which enable wall-climbing.

Nearby, Qing Feng, Li Zheng, and Wang Xu were all stunned; this interrogation was too fierce, jumping straight to action at any disagreement?

"It’s three incense sticks now, let’s see if you have the four incense stick ability."

The kidnapper’s four incense stick technique is "Body External Dharma Body", refining a part of their own body into a Dharma Body.

The Dog King refined their foot,

Chun Meng refined their eye,

Zhou Xuan’s perception penetrated Mo Tingsheng’s body as his hands quickly explored his figure.

Perception found nothing, but Zhou Xuan felt Mo Tingsheng’s skin was very strange, particularly loose, like an overly large shirt on the body, with the fabric not tight, and when casually grabbed, a large piece of fabric could be lifted.

"Human skin sacrificial refinement, Body External Dharma Body?"

Zhou Xuan knew now the person before him was a fake Mo Tingsheng, and Mo Tingsheng also knew that Zhou Xuan was aware of this,

Desperate, he suddenly flipped, extending a long red tongue from his mouth like a knife being thrown, stabbing towards Zhou Xuan’s chest.

Zhou Xuan reacted leisurely; when the Divine Armor activated, Bone Teeth summoned, stabbing into ’Mo Tingsheng’s’ cheek, pinning him to the ground.

Meanwhile, his figure, due to the Armor’s teleportation, appeared in the corner of the stone house, evading the knife-like tongue.

"Even Mr. Feng couldn’t handle me, and you dare to ambush me?"

Zhou Xuan shook his long robe, seeing Qing Feng and others rapidly throw out City God Ink Line, piercing bone and flesh, tying ’Mo Tingsheng’ into a bundle.

Seeing ’Mo Tingsheng’ securely bound, Zhou Xuan approached him and said, "You’re not Mo Tingsheng. Where’s the real Mo Tingsheng?"

"I... am Mo Tingsheng."

"Still being stubborn?"

Zhou Xuan picked up a pen from the interrogation table, unscrewed the cap, and pierced ’Mo Tingsheng’s’ cheek: "I’ll ask you again, where’s Mo Tingsheng?"

"I am..."

Seeing ’Mo Tingsheng’ was obstinate, Zhou Xuan no longer wasted words, lowered his head, and said, "I was in a good mood this morning, not wanting to resort to violence..."

He took out Bone Teeth, severed ’Mo Tingsheng’s’ throat, at the same time Bone Teeth sunk into the opponent’s eye socket, gouging out his eyeball.

"Jing Deng, take this eye into the Divine Revelation Secret Realm for a good interrogation."

At this moment, Zhou Xuan’s long robe had become completely blood-red...
