The moment Fang Yue was about to meet Han Chengzhi, Han Chengzhi disappeared completely.
Fang Yue frowned, feeling a little annoyed. Han Chengzhi was really cunning and could escape at critical moments every time.
The Empress of 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 make trouble again in a short time."
Fang Yue nodded. , turned to look at the Empress of Chu, and said worriedly: "You just wanted to resist Blocking him will consume a lot of money. I wonder if it will be harmful?"
The Empress of Chu shook her head gently: "I don't mind, I just need some time to adjust my breathing. Fang Yue, your injury has just recovered. Careless, it’s better to continue healing as soon as possible.”
Fang Yue responded: "Okay."
So, the Empress of Chu sat down again and began to exercise her power and adjust her breath.
Fang Yue also returned to his position, preparing to continue to receive the nourishment of the Empress of Chu's vitality.
However, what they didn’t know was that although Han Chengzhi escaped, he did not stay away.
He hid in a hidden place near the other courtyard, thinking secretly in his heart. He knew that if he failed this time, he would be severely punished when he returned.
But if he just gave up, he would be unwilling to do so.
"Fang Yue, Empress of Da Chu, just wait for me, and I will make you pay the price." Han Chengzhi gritted his teeth, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
He took out a communication charm from his arms, whispered a spell, and communicated what happened here to his Lord.
After the interrogation was completed, he began to meditate on the spot to nurse his injuries.
At this time, in a dark cave, Han Chengzhi’s Lord received a message.
He looked at the contents of the summons and his face became very gloomy.
"Hmph! Han Chengzhi, a loser, can't even handle this. However, the Empress of Chu actually used the method of dual cultivation to heal Fang Yue, which is a bit beyond my expectation." Lord murmured to himself.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the cave, thinking about how to deal with it.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.
"Since they attach so much importance to Fang Yue, I will start with Fang Yue's family. As long as I capture his family, I am not afraid that he will not surrender." The Lord said with a sneer.
The Lord immediately summoned several of his capable officers and ordered them to investigate the whereabouts of Fang Yue's family.
As for himself, he was preparing to go to the capital of Dachu in person. He wanted to see for himself what Dachu was capable of and how it could ruin his good deeds repeatedly.
In the Dachu Villa, Fang Yue's injuries were mostly healed after a period of healing.
His meridians have been basically repaired, and his vitality has also recovered to a great extent.
The Empress of Chu also finished adjusting her breath, and her face looked much better.
"Fang Yue, how is your injury?" the Empress of Chu asked.
Fang Yue replied respectfully: "My injury has improved a lot. Thank you for your help."
The Empress of Chu nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good. However, we can't Take it lightly. The people behind Han Chengzhi will definitely not give up. We must speed up the investigation and find out who is behind it."
Fang Yue said with a firm expression. : "Don't worry, I will go all out. We can start with the ministers of the DPRK and China who were suspected before, and then send people to explore the forces that may be related to Han Chengzhi."
The Empress of Da Chu nodded slightly. : "Well, I think so too. I have ordered people to keep an eye on those suspicious ministers and report them immediately if there is any trouble. As for other forces, Fang Yue, do you have any clues?"
Fang Yue pondered for a moment and then replied: "I think the demon power technique performed by Han Chengzhi is very unique. Maybe we can look for him based on the characteristics of this technique!"
The Empress of Da Chu nodded slightly. : "This is a good direction. Then tell me in detail, what is so special about this technique?"
Fang Yue said solemnly: "Your Majesty, When Han Chengzhi used his demonic power, it seemed to have substance, as if there were black threads entwined in it.
And every time he launched an attack, the demonic power was mixed with a putrid aura. This aura was not only powerful. It hurts people's meridians and can also corrode people's consciousness.
Weichen thinks that this technique may be related to some evil sects.
We can search for those forces or individuals who know this evil practice from within and around Dachu. "
The Empress of Chu's eyes were filled with sternness: "Is there an evil cultivation technique? If this is the case, the forces behind it must be very dangerous. Fang Yue, please continue to heal your injuries, and then investigate this matter after your injuries are fully recovered. "
Fang Yue responded: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. ”
With the help of the Empress of Da Chu, Fang Yue continued to heal his injuries.
As time passed, 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 have become stronger with the nourishment of the Empress of Chu's vitality.
His energy has also been replenished, and he is even stronger than before the injury.
A few days later, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
He stood up, moved his body, felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
~~~~~~~
At the same time, Han Chengzhi had arrived in Wei Dynasty, looking for Fang Yue's family.
Han Chengzhi disguised himself as an ordinary merchant and traveled around various towns in the Wei Dynasty to inquire.
He knew that Fang Yue was from the Wei Dynasty, but the Wei Dynasty had a vast territory, and it was not easy to find Fang Yue's family members.
However, their organization also had considerable influence in the Wei Dynasty, and Han Chengzhi quickly contacted some local subordinates.
These subordinates are usually responsible for collecting intelligence and acting secretly, and they know the situation of Wei very well.
After Han Chengzhi informed them of Fang Yue's basic situation, he ordered: "I will give you three days to find out the whereabouts of Fang Yue's family. If you fail, you will know the consequences!"
Senior men After hearing this, they all nodded in agreement, and then quickly dispersed to investigate.
In Da Chu, after Fang Yue said goodbye to the Empress of Da Chu, he decided to return to the Wei Dynasty to find information about the Lord.
He knew very well that only by finding the master behind Han Chengzhi could this series of conspiracies be completely solved. Fang Yue galloped all the way and soon entered the territory of Wei Dynasty.
He decided to go to the Great Wei Supervisor Tiansi to get information first.
The Great Wei Supervisor Tiansi is known for being well-informed and having spies all over the place. We may be able to find clues about the master behind Han Chengzhi there.
Fang Yue came to the location of the Great Wei Jiantiansi. It was a magnificent and mysterious building with tight security around it.
After Fang Yue expressed his intention to come, he was led into the hall of Jian Tiansi by the guards.
An envoy named Lin Yu received him.
Lin Yu's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.
"Fang Yue, you said you wanted to find out about the person behind the scenes, but there are too many people in this world who want to hide their tracks. Can you give me any useful information?" Lin Yu asked.
Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said: "This person has people like Han Chengzhi who practice evil arts. When Han Chengzhi used his demonic power, the demonic power seemed to have substance, with black threads wrapped around it, and the demonic power was mixed with it when he attacked. The putrid smell can hurt people's meridians and corrode the mind. I think this is a big force. They seem to be planning some conspiracy against Da Chu." Lin Yu frowned slightly after hearing this.
He has been in Jian Tiansi for many years and has heard many strange things, but what Fang Yue said still attracted his attention.
"I seem to have some impression of the technique you mentioned, but I'm not sure. You take a short rest here while I check the files in the department." After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Fang Yue waited patiently in the hall. His eyes wandered around the hall, looking at the walls carved with ancient runes and mysterious patterns. He couldn't help but marvel at the heritage of the great Wei Jiantiansi. .
After a long time, Lin Yu returned in a hurry, holding a dossier 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 company."
Lin Yu said while opening the files, "For many years Before, there was a sect called 'Shadow Evil Sect', and the characteristics of their techniques were very similar to what you described.
This sect was regarded as a cult at the time. Their cultivation methods were cruel and evil. They often used the essence of living people as a guide to enhance their own demonic power. "
Fang Yue was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Does this 'Shadow Evil Sect' still have residual power now? Where is their stronghold? "
Lin Yu shook his head, "The file does not clearly mention whether this sect still has residual forces. However, one thing worth noting is that this sect seemed to have some connection with a mysterious valley on the border of the Wei Dynasty. It is said that the valley is often filled with black mist, and the surrounding creatures are eroded by evil spirits and become extremely vicious. But this is just a rumor, and 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 cupped his fists and thanked Lin Yu: "Thank you, Secretary Lin, for sharing this important information. , Fang Yue was extremely grateful. ”
Lin Yu waved his hand, "Fang Yue, you don't have to thank me. This is just the responsibility of our Supervisor Tiansi. But you have to be careful. If the forces behind this dare to attack Da Chu, they must be extremely dangerous."
Fang Yue nodded in agreement, and then left the Great Wei Supervisor Tiansi.
He decided to explore in the direction of the Wei border, hoping to find clues to the mysterious valley.
After Fang Yue left the Great Wei Supervisor Tiansi, he rushed towards the border of the Great Wei. He knew that time was tight, and with every additional moment of delay, the forces behind Han Chengzhi might be more prepared.
Along the way, he encountered some small villages. The villagers in these villages cast curious glances when they saw Fang Yue walking in a hurry. Fang Yue had no time to communicate with them too much. He only occasionally asked the villagers if there was any news about the Black Mist Valley. But most of the villagers just shook their heads and said they had never heard of such a place.
After several days of running around, Fang Yue arrived at a small town on the border of Wei Dynasty. Although this town is not big, because it is located on the border, personnel exchanges are complicated and there are many kinds of news. Fang Yue decided to stay here for a while and then carefully inquire about the whereabouts of the mysterious valley.
He walked into a tavern in a small town. The tavern was full of all kinds of people, including businessmen, bodyguards, and some wanderers. Fang Yue found an empty seat and sat down, ordered a bottle of wine and some simple food and drinks, and then listened to the conversations of the people around him.
"Have you heard? There seems to be some strange movement over the border recently." A man who looked like a businessman whispered to his companions.
"Oh? What's the strange movement?" the companion asked curiously.
"I heard someone say that there is a forest not far from here. There have been some eerie sounds recently, and sometimes you can see black mist floating in the forest." Xingshang said.
Fang Yue's heart moved. He felt that the black mist might be related to the mysterious valley he was looking for. He put down his wine glass, walked to the table where the two merchants were sitting, clasped his fists and said, "Brothers, please be polite. I just heard your brother mention the black mist, and I was curious. I wonder if I can tell you the location of the woods in detail. ?"
The two merchants glanced 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'm just passing through the rivers and lakes I am interested in some strange things. I would be very grateful if you could tell me.”
Seeing Fang Yue’s sincere attitude, another businessman said, “I see you are also a generous person. Let me tell you. That forest is about ten miles east of the town, but I advise you not to go there. It feels very evil."
After Fang Yue thanked the two merchants, He immediately rushed towards the east side of the town.
Fang Yue rushed towards the east of the town, and along the way his mind was filled with speculations about the woods. As we get closer and closer to the woods, the surrounding atmosphere becomes more and more gloomy.
When he came to the edge of the woods, the familiar rancid smell came faintly, which was very similar to the smell in Han Chengzhi's demon power. Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand and stepped carefully into the woods.
The light in the woods is dim, and black fog permeates everywhere, obstructing sight.
Fang Yue can only move forward with his keen hearing and intuition.
Suddenly, a slight "rustling" sound came from the left side. Fang Yue quickly turned sideways and saw a wild wolf with red eyes jumping out of the grass. The evil spirit, the hair is messy and partially fallen off, it is obviously eroded by the evil spirit in the woods.
"No wonder ordinary people don't know the message here. There are demonized and evil monsters. As long as ordinary people come here, they will definitely die!"
Fang Yue slashed away with his sword. Although the wild wolf was ferocious, but Wherever Fang Yue's opponent was, he was killed instantly.
Fang Yue continued deeper into the woods, and he found that the trees here were twisted and the flowers and plants on the ground were all yellow and decayed.
Fang Yue continued to go deeper into the woods. He was extremely cautious every step he took, always alert to possible dangers around him.
The further you go, the thicker the black mist becomes and the more pungent the putrid smell becomes.
As he walked, Fang Yue heard a low whimpering sound, as if there were many innocent souls crying.
He followed the direction of the sound and found a small pool.
The water in the pool showed a strange black color and exuded a disgusting smell.
There are some animal bones beside the pool, which look like they have been drained of their essence by something. (End of this chapter)
