Chapter 12: Grandma's Rolling Pin (Part 2)

  Two days later, Xiang Xiao Si and Princess Jin Cheng rode two fast horses quietly leaving the capital for Jiangzhou, knowing this matter was only Yang Guang.

  Just before leaving, Zhangsun Wuji saw him and was so frightened that he almost recited incantations to ward off evil spirits.

  Xiao Si cried and laughed, but he finally figured it out. The so-called 72 Earthly Fiend Star Array was actually a magical technique that allowed people to change their appearance at will. As long as one's mind moved in sync with the star array, they could transform into someone else in an instant, even imitating that person's voice perfectly. Unless the opponent had cultivated their eyes to see through appearances, it would be impossible to detect any flaws.

  In short, he inexplicably mastered the 72 transformations. Although it's 28 transformations less than Bai Bian Yao Long Yi Bo, it's on par with Sun Wukong who caused a huge disturbance in heaven 500 years ago.

  He and Princess Jincheng disguised themselves as a pair of siblings traveling to Jiangzhou to find their relatives, covering up their ears and eyes, traveling day and night, and arrived at the city of Jiangzhou at noon.

  Xiaosi felt that every blade of grass and every tree looked familiar and intimate, and said: "Let's enter the city first, I need to go back to the pawnshop for a while, and say hello to Master Geng and Master Chu."

  "The Princess of Golden Castle said: 'Don't go, I don't want any trouble, let people know you've arrived in Jiangzhou.'"

  "You control heaven and earth, can you even control when I drink water or take a piss?"

  The Golden City Princess coldly ignored him, suddenly as if she had sensed something, her eyes condensed and looked towards the direction of Jiangzhou City. She saw a thick smoke rising into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud that gathered and did not disperse. The air was faintly filled with a burnt smell.

  Xiao Si exclaimed: "Whose family is so careless with their cooking that they set the house on fire?"

  Unexpectedly, two passersby who brushed past each other whispered: "How pitiful! I heard that the Tong family, with over 200 people upstairs and downstairs, was exterminated overnight..."

  Xiao Si's heart and soul were both shocked, he stretched out his hand to grab the guy who just spoke and asked: "What did you say? Say it again?"

  The man was startled and stuttered: "Young fellow, what are you doing?"

  Xiao Si's expression was terrifying, and he growled in a low voice: "Speak quickly, what happened to the Tong Bao Bureau?"

  Another person beside him hurriedly said: "I heard that last night at midnight, a group of bandits suddenly rushed into the inn and killed people everywhere. Before leaving, they also set off a big fire which is still burning now. I don't know if there are any survivors inside."

  Xiao Si's whole body was boiling with rage, he threw away that person and rushed towards Jiangzhou City.

  Jincheng Princess stretched out her arm to block him and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you."

  Xiao Si's eyes also turned red, and he cursed loudly: "Get out of here, you bastard!"

  He only felt a fire burning in his chest, even more fierce and turbulent than the big fire in Jiangzhou City. A surge of energy and blood was surging, uncontrollably rushing to his forehead, his mind full of Geng Nan Yi and Chu Lie's figures, with an urge to kill.

  If this little girl dared to block her way at this time, Xīao Sì would unhesitatingly use her as a sacrifice!

  "My grandmother is also your grandmother."

  Xiao Si was taken aback for a moment, then coarsely cleared his throat and said: "Then get out of here, you two!"

  The Princess of Jincheng gazed at his ferocious face for a moment, and said slowly: "I let you take a look, but don't get involved."

  Xiao Si ignored him, flung off the girl's hand and rushed into Jiangzhou City, directly to the gate of Huitong Pawnshop's Jiangzhou branch.

  Thousands of onlookers retreated tens of meters away, with no one daring to approach the fire scene. Even so, the scorching heat waves churned up choking thick smoke that came rushing towards them like a tidal wave, forcing people to retreat and cover their mouths and noses repeatedly.

  Xiao Si pushed through the crowd and saw that the entire pawnshop was engulfed in a sea of flames. The fire was a deep red with hints of green, and it seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, like a cluster of lotus flowers blooming and wilting in rapid succession.

  The buildings in the courtyard have collapsed by more than half, and there are still continuous sounds of bricks and tiles falling, followed by a tremor on the ground.

  Xiao Siyi let out a loud shout and charged into the flames, suddenly breaking away from the crowd and rushing towards the police station!

  The princess of Jin City raised her eyebrows slightly and stood quietly in the distance without moving.

  The crowd suddenly shouted in unison: "Young man, come back quickly, you can't go!"

  Xiao Si's ears were deaf to the sound, he had already fallen into a state of frenzied madness, let alone the fact that ahead was a sea of fire or a mountain of knives, even if it was his mother's King Yama's home, today he would still charge forward!

  He rushed into the sea of fire, and although the big fire had been burning for several hours, the Biaoju was already unrecognizable, but Xiao Si still easily recognized that this was the performance hall, that was the kitchen, this was the water house, and that was the small building where Wan'er used to live...

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, ignoring the fact that the fallen beam had been burned to a fiery ember, and with a mighty effort he lifted it up and pulled out from under the rubble a charred black body.

  That was a rough hand, born when his parents held the big fat boy with joy, expecting him to study hard and bring glory to his ancestors, so he asked people everywhere for a name called Zhao Wenhao. Who knew this guy was born an idiot, except for dancing guns and fighting with people, he was not interested in anything else.

  He had been in the Jiangzhou branch for seven or eight years, often saying that in the future when he has a son, he must name him Zhao Wenzhuo, pass the imperial examination as the top scholar, become a Hanlin and serve as prime minister, fulfilling his parents' wishes on his behalf.

  Xiao Si's eyes were smoked and he rubbed them carefully, only to find that Zhao Wenhao's chest had a clear depression and fragmentation, obviously he was beaten to death before the fire started.

  He quietly left Zhao Wenhao's body and continued on, finding the stout cook, the young and handsome escort, the little maid who always liked to hide behind the bamboo curtain to peek at herself, and many, many others...

  These people had all been burned into charcoal, but Xiao Si was still able to recognize each and every one of them.

  It wasn't until now that he realized every single person in this brothel had been etched into his memory, and without realizing it, tears were streaming down his face.

  However, Diao Xiao Si searched the entire inn and used all his skills as a grave robber, but he still couldn't find the bodies of Geng Nan Yi and Chu Lie.

  He didn't know how he got out of the fire either, with a black face and red eyes, like a hungry wolf searching around the crowd, wanting to grab a few unsightly turtles and tear them to pieces without regard for anything.

  Who did it?

  Xiao Si thought about this problem back and forth, but at the scene, he couldn't find any clues left behind by the murderer.

  His mind was already in a mess, and he walked out of the field in a daze. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the crowd and grabbed his arm, saying in a low voice: "Xiao brother, do you still recognize me?"

  Xiao Siyi immediately followed, and saw Zhao Qianfeng, the deputy leader of the Chao Tian Gang, wearing a fur hat that covered half his face, saying: "Follow me!"

  Xiao Si didn't care about Princess Jincheng's whereabouts either, and followed Zhao Qianfeng out of the crowd, asking eagerly: "Zhao Boss, where are Old Geng and Old Chu?"

  Zhao Qianfeng walked and whispered: "Chu Zongbiao was injured, Geng Zongbiao... They are all hiding in a secret dock of our gang, I'll take you there now."

  Xiao Si's heart slightly calmed down upon hearing this, and he let out a breath saying: "Who did it?"

  Just as Zhao Qianfeng was about to answer, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting loudly: "You surname Duan, you've finally shown up!"

  Xiao Siyi was shocked and turned his head, only to see a burly man with a ferocious face holding a Flowing Star Flying Fire Hammer, exuding an aura of murder, blocking the entrance of the alley. It was Zhong Kui, the only survivor of the four demons of Lanchang!

  Suddenly, Si Xiao came to his senses and gritted his teeth, asking: "Zhao Bangzhu, is he there?"

  Zhao Qianfeng nodded and said, "I heard from Chu Zongbiao that the leaders are among the top seven demons in the world, including Ban Niao Lao Yao, Ying Yang Lao Yao, and Hua Yao Niang, as well as dozens of other demonic heads who were invited to join."

  Xiao Si suddenly woke up and realized that the Eagle Old Demon had been absent recently, only to find out that he had actually come to Jiangzhou to copy the back door of Tong Bao Bureau!

  "I'll kill you!" He let out a loud roar and his body shot towards Zhong Kui like a bolt of lightning, his hot blood raging and boiling!

  Zhong Kui's face wore a cold smile, unmoving as he waited for this ignorant little brat to rush forward. In his eyes, Xiao Si was full of openings from head to toe, and all it would take was one hammer strike to make him bloom like a thousand peach blossoms in the wind.

  "Wooo——" In the blink of an eye, the python sea magic cauldron rose from the dragon waist belt, and a thick black air rolled over to cover Xiao Si's figure. A nine-headed python emerged from it and pounced on Zhong Kui.

  Zhong Kui's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and he naturally recognized that this was You Gu Yu's treasured protective charm. Now that the Python Sea Cauldron had fallen into Xiao Si's hands, You Gu Yu's fate was all too clear.

  "Seeking death!" He infused his arms with magical energy, swinging the silver chain as meteor-like flames burst forth, blazing fiercely like two fire dragons traversing a ten-zhang-long street alley, and collided head-on with the nine-headed demon python!

  A wild and violent red and black light burst forth, the brick walls on both sides "crashed" and collapsed, sending dust flying everywhere. Shooting stars and flames shot high into the air, and the nine-headed demon python also retreated in defeat.

  "Ka-cha!" A blood-red, eye-searing bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck towards Zhong Kui's skull.

  This is the improved Tian Da Lei Ji symbol by Xiao Si, although it still only has a 5th-grade power, it combines the original several lightning beams into one, and can burst out in an instant with astonishing destructive power that can destroy everything.

  Zhong Kui's double hammers were too late to defend, and he loudly shouted out a Taoist talisman.

  "Whoosh——" In the ear-piercing sharp whistling sound, the eerie and enchanting green wind smoke condensed into shape, transforming instantly into a pale blue-green wind wheel that savagely cut through the Blood Thunder.

  Two mighty forces entwined in a fierce struggle, bursting forth with dazzling and resplendent glory. The alleys were filled with the continuous rumble of thunder and misty fog, while the brick walls on both sides were completely reduced to rubble.

  It's too late to say that it's fast, the four small ones are like arrows shot from a bowstring, wrapped in swirling black air, already approaching within three zhang!

  Zhong Kui's expression slightly changed, and he realized that his opponent was not as easy to deal with as he had expected.

  He chuckled and swung his arm, the Flowing Star Fire Hammer suddenly spinning back around, striking Xiao Si's back.

  "Hū——" A cyan-colored umbrella opened, layer upon layer of ripples spreading out in all directions, like a Buddha's aura shining on Xiao Si's back!

  Dark energy dissipates, killing intent explodes, at this moment he is like a demon god possessing an invincible world, facing Zhong Hui and blasting out a White Tiger Fist!
