Chapter 7: Encounter with Raichu Again

  Yang Cangcang heard this and indignantly said: "This old devil, still bites back at us, he's the good one of Mingyun Sect?"

  Director Liu snorted: "Director Mu had expected you to say that, shifting all the blame onto him. You guys are really ruthless, Karamay has no grudges against you, he's worked under me for so many years, and you can still bear to do this?" Director Liu's face turned red, as if he was truly furious.

  Yang Cangcang pinched her waist and said with a flirtatious tone: "He even pinned this shit basin on us? He's really capable."

  "Overwhelming evidence, you'd better stop quibbling and surrender to me, follow me back to the headquarters, hand over your guilty conscience. Oh, and leave that woman behind you, I can make things easier for you on the way." Director Liu said with a flying brow and sparkling eyes, I reckon he was fantasizing about sending us back to the headquarters, then immediately getting promoted, marrying a rich beauty, and reaching the pinnacle of life, just thinking about it got him a little excited.

  Wu Zihan's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of murderous intent, Yang Cangcang gave Yuan Pengfei a white look, "What are you pulling at, except for Xiao Lao we seem to have nothing to do with each other, can't you just let it go?"

  Yuan Pengfei looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "Cang Cang, I know that your Xuan clan's blood is special. The spell I cast on you is a Linggu, which affects people differently depending on their physical condition. Try to see if your flute still works! As for Junyang, where are his nine insects? Zihan didn't even detect the poison of the gu, it seems he was seriously injured... and when will Ma's injuries recover?"

  After he finished speaking, I quickly called out to Jiu Chong, but that little thing hid in my clothes and refused to come out, as if it was afraid of something. I had never seen it behave like this before. Only then did I realize that this top-notch spiritual master indeed had a trick up his sleeve, and we were being too careless.

  Xiao Lao gave us a signal, indicating that we shouldn't speak. He said with a serious face: "Old Liu, I've worked with you before, so you know what kind of person I am. I'll only explain this once to you. Director Mu is from the Mingyun Sect. He disguised himself as Kelamayi and went to Xiyu with us. It was he who killed Kelamayi. As for the Guiyuan Heart, it's not in our hands at all. You've been used by someone else without even realizing it."

  Director Liu made an exaggerated expression, staring with wide eyes, and looked him up and down for a long time: "Oh, what kind of person is Xiao Xianren, I really don't know. Moreover, this person has a heart as cold as a stone, you old man used to be involved in tomb raiding too, Director Mu counts as having helped you, you several... tsk tsk tsk..." He shook his head extremely disappointedly, "It seems that the few of you are not willing to cooperate." Director Liu sat back beside the table, his face immediately becoming expressionless, "Then let's take action."

  Yuan Pengfei's body suddenly emitted a white gas, which is the Lingqi I mentioned earlier. This gas can only be seen by people with spiritual power. Before I was sealed, his family always mentioned Lingqi, and I could only see it vaguely. Now, I can clearly feel it. The white gas instantly transformed into six insect-like shapes that charged towards us. I retreated several steps back, and Wu Ziheng suddenly blocked our way, starting to chant incantations.

  Xiao Lao hastily stopped him: "Zi Han, you haven't recovered yet, don't force yourself." Wu Zihan didn't pay attention to him and continued reading. Yuan Pengfei seemed to have underestimated Wu Zihan's ability, and his face broke out in a cold sweat.

  At this time, only the sound of someone shouting loudly at the door was heard: "You've taken our husband away, aren't you going to hand him over?" The tall woman standing at the door suddenly rushed in and said, "Director Liu, that madwoman is coming." Things should have been very urgent, but she was calm and composed. This woman was indeed not an ordinary person either.

  Director Liu waved his hand impatiently: "Can't you see I'm busy handling important matters? Those two top-notch spiritual masters haven't arrived yet, have they? Tell the people in front to hold on a bit longer, or else we won't be able to stop them later."

  That woman gave us a glance and sulkily retreated, Director Liu muttered to himself, I felt that the sound was somewhat familiar. Wu Zihan's white mist that resisted the insect had not been able to get close to us, but it could be seen that Wu Zihan was almost unable to hold on, he wasn't a god either, previously he had been so weak.

  At this moment, the door suddenly opened and a person wearing ancient clothes rushed in, laughing loudly: "I knew my husband was here, you scammers." We looked at each other, our eyes wide with shock. No wonder I felt that voice was familiar - it was clearly Dairi Chou, the Thunder Spirit of Raijin! How did he end up here?

  He cast a flying glance at Xiao Lao: "Old Master Xiao, I'm here?"

  Xiao Lao's face was as constipated as ever, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said: "You... how did you get out?"

  Dai Leiqiu cried and said: "They want to kill my sister, my sister ran away, we got separated, I have nowhere to go..."

  Director Liu was stunned, and immediately reacted: "Good, you know each other, this person must also be a bandit of the Mingyun Sect, take him down together." A group of people came in from outside, trying to block Dai Leichu, he dodged left and right like a monkey, diverting Yuan Pengfei's attention, and the room suddenly became chaotic.

  Xiao Lao whispered to us, "Take advantage of the chaos and run quickly." I hesitated for a moment, looking at Dai Lei Qiu, and Fu Ma shook his head towards me. We turned around and rushed out together.

  Director Liu was shocked: "Quickly catch them." He made a gesture to Yuan Pengfei, who sprinkled some yellow powder on us. The smell was unbearable and we were almost suffocated. Xiao Lao ran in the front, I followed behind, everyone rushed towards the door. The tall woman behind us kept chasing us. I turned back and wondered how she could run so fast wearing high heels, only to find that she wasn't running at all, but rather floating in mid-air. Oh my god, is this still a human?!

  Wu Zihan yelled at me: "Don't look back, run quickly, this woman is not ordinary."

  This was the ninth insect that suddenly flew out, and I was still wondering if he wasn't scared to death just now? He immediately turned white, flew a circle in the back, and froze everyone else. The woman had a layer of frost on her body, and she was still desperately chasing us. The frost got thicker and thicker until it finally became a snowman that stopped her.

  We ran quickly along the original road, and in a flash, we dashed out of the restaurant door and plunged into the crowd. We vaguely saw that the group of people chasing us at the restaurant door had already shaken off the cold and came out. It's really worthy of being a hidden agent. Since I got this thing, I haven't seen him encounter an enemy yet. Indeed, there are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond heaven.

  According to the previous plan, we rushed to the long-distance bus station after escaping. It's not safe here anymore. Yang Cangcang complained while walking and panting: "We are really useless, poisoned by zombies before, now poisoned by Gu worms, ah..."

  Xiao Lao smiled slightly and said, "Take a look at my hand." We several looked over, his hand had already recovered. Had Xiao Lao become so formidable that he could withstand the venom of a centipede? The several of us stared blankly.

  Xiao Lao pretended to be mysterious, hesitated for half a day, and couldn't withstand Yang Can's persistent questioning. He said, "Actually, before we left, the yellow powder that Yuan Pengfei sprinkled was an antidote for Gu poison. The essence of Miaojiang's Gu technique lies in the fact that most of the poisonous substances used to cast Gu are colorless and odorless, making them difficult to detect, while the things used to detoxify are extremely smelly, making people unbearable."

  I was suddenly stunned, just about to open my mouth to ask, when Yang Can can took the lead and said, "Is he bored, pulling down his pants and farting?"

  Xiao Lao hummed softly: "You see, Director Liu seems to be deeply convinced on the surface and actively cooperates with us, but in fact, he also has doubts in his heart. A person who can become a local branch bureau chief is not an ordinary person. He secretly released you and me, which is considered a personal favor. If we are really wronged one day, at least it won't implicate him. Not catching us would also be unfair to the higher-ups. Moreover, there may be ears of the Mingyun Sect in this branch bureau, so making such a fuss can also be said to be forced by circumstances, and it's a win-win situation."

  I sighed: "This hidden bureau is really complicated, it feels like being in an underground party back then."

  Xiao Lao nodded, "A hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, let alone the Mingyun Sect that has been opposing the Yinti Bureau for so many years."

  After seeing that there were no more pursuers behind, we slowed down our pace. The long-distance station was just ahead, not far away. When I mentioned the Mingyun Sect, I asked Xiao Lao: "What kind of sect is this? I've heard you mention it before."

  Xiao Lao nodded silently, and Fu Ma said: "It's a very mysterious organization, originally both good and evil, the ruling aristocracy calls itself the Hecate tribe, worshipping the three-headed six-armed god statue you saw in Dàiyú Guó, always the target of covert attacks. Previously, it had already been fragmented, but recently they have appointed a new Ming Master, and the momentum of the Ming Yun Sect is beginning to rise, constantly stirring up trouble, seemingly plotting a major conspiracy."

  "For example, take me to the ancient country of Taishan." I interjected a sentence, and Fuma nodded. Usually fond of being cool, Xiao Lao was silent at this time, which made me feel quite strange. Yang Cangcang also seemed to sense it and asked Fuma in a low voice, "What's wrong with Xiao Lao?"

  Fu Ma deliberately slowed down his pace, letting Xiao Lao walk ahead, and lowered his voice to a whisper: "I heard that Xiao Lao's loved one was killed by the Mingyun Sect, which is why he defected to the Yintiao Bureau. Few people know about this, and he never mentions it."

  We were silent for a while, and the bus station was almost in front of us. I hadn't eaten lunch before, and after going through a fight, I was starving to death. Yang Can-can casually bought several rolls from a small stall, and we got on the long-distance bus, eating them with relish on our seats.

  Yang Cangcang said while eating: "Really didn't expect that tall woman to be quite fierce."

  Wu Zihan gently placed Hongtian by the window, afraid she would bump into something. Without even lifting his head, he muttered: "She's not human at all." Wu Zihan's expression hadn't recovered yet; he was really too tired lately. The car had just started moving when he fell asleep. Yang Cangcang quietly handed him a jacket and closed the car window.

  It's finally time to leave Xinjiang. As I think to myself, looking at the rapidly receding landscape, yet I didn't expect that everything was just a temporary farewell.
