Chapter 424 Torture and Gift-Giving: The Kind-hearted Fox (Part 2)

Su Che estimated that the foxes in Cloud Recesses were all top-notch palace intrigue experts. After all, they might have been worthless when they first entered the martial arts world, but after so many years of ups and downs, they were no longer the ignorant fools they once were.

However, Su Che didn't intend to really argue with the little fox. He wasn't going to be deaf and dumb, and since the little fox's side was already a fait accompli, he would let her say whatever she wanted.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King exclaimed that he had thoroughly enjoyed himself, the little fox was engrossed in conversation, while Young Master Su, in a state of utter disinterest, carefully put away everything the little fox had brought.

The jade pendant was already fastened to his waist, and he had put on the Jingyun robe. However, Su Che couldn't find any famous sword maker to make the six-foot-long Nine Heavens Ice Meteorite, so he just left it there.

Now that the little fox has arrived, Su Che estimates that the others should be arriving soon as well.

Li Hong, Li Hong, although we've never met, the fact that you've caught their attention today means you're probably going to be in trouble.

The main body chatted idly with the little fox.

The Ming King, disguised as "Liu Yidao," also carefully entered Cizhou City.

Thanks to Su Che's deliberate arrangements, Cizhou City is now adopting an attitude of opening its doors to thieves.

If just anyone could enter, it would be disrespectful to the soldiers and guards defending the city. However, those with certain skills can certainly slip through undetected.

Su Che's avatar didn't have much trouble. He simply seized the opportunity during the shift change of the soldiers on the city wall, knocked out several soldiers patrolling the city wall, and entered Cizhou City directly.

The alley that Yue Luan mentioned was actually not far from Su Che's residence.

The alley was only about five or six steps wide, with low courtyard walls on both sides, and the faded lanterns swayed in the night breeze.

The boots made no sound as they stepped on the bluestone pavement.

This incarnation of the Wisdom King, from its very foundation, follows the Buddhist path of body cultivation. Its mastery of the body's strength has reached an unparalleled level, and walking silently is second nature to it.

Soon, Su Che found the small courtyard that Yue Luan had mentioned. It must be said that Shi Chibao had found a really good place. It didn't look like anything from the outside, but the surrounding area was secluded.

If you really want to keep any foreign residences, it's best to put them here.

Su Che walked slowly forward and gently knocked on the black-painted gate.

Not long after, the sound of someone answering the door came from inside.

"Who is it? It's so late. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Although his words were perfectly normal, Su Che did not reply.

This is a minor technique for calling back the soul, commonly used by those low-level unorthodox practitioners in the martial arts world. If one accidentally responds to it, a wisp of one's vital energy will be sucked away. If one is not well-trained, one's vision will probably go black immediately.

It seems I haven't made a mistake in resorting to such methods.

Su Che leaped inside, his long sword unsheathed in his left hand, the blade slicing through the air with a bright moonlight, and slashed directly at the person who was coming to greet him.

With Young Master Su's cultivation level today, even if he held back, no second-rate person could withstand him. With one slash, the wicked fellow inside immediately fell to the ground.

stab.

It floated away and turned into a blank sheet of paper.

What an amazing illusion!

Su Che held the knife in his left hand, and almost in the next instant, the scene before him changed.

Before me lay a forest of black coffins, each about five feet tall, painted vermilion and standing upright on the blue brick floor. Each one was covered with yellow talismans with distorted characters, and the words "Supreme Lord of the Dao, hasten as the law commands" were written in vermilion.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and the coffins immediately seemed to tremble. Before anyone knew it, an old woman dressed in white was half-squatting on the coffin in front of Su Che.

"Here you go, pick one."

It's an illusion again.

Su Che ignored her.

The paper figures that used the soul-summoning technique, and everything before me, were all illusions conjured by the other party. In terms of sophistication, their illusionary arts skills should surpass mine. To be able to conjure so many coffins out of thin air here is already a remarkable feat. As for enabling the conjured paper figures to use supernatural powers, no matter how rudimentary, that level of skill is already extraordinary.

Su Che couldn't help but wonder whether it was the Zhu Yan that had such abilities, or whether the seemingly harmless Madam Xie was behind it all.

Or is it someone else?
It didn't matter who it was anymore; Su Che simply pulled out the token given to him by Yue Luan from his sleeve.

The short sword, which looked like a complete fake, swayed in the air.

"Is playing tricks and spooking people considered hospitality?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the coffins in front of him rattled, as if in response to Su Che's question. From all the coffins came a hoarse sound, like the mournful cry of an old cat.

“To resort to violence and kill someone is hardly the proper behavior of a guest.”

Su Che didn't speak, but simply flicked the long sword in his left hand, and a bolt of blue lightning flashed across the blade.

crackle.

A faint explosion rang out in the air, and the old woman and the coffin in front of me seemed to burst into bubbles in the air, disappearing without a trace in an instant. In front of me was a small courtyard with banana trees planted along the wall.

Madam Xie's maid, Zhu'er, was standing in the courtyard, looking at the long knife in Su Che's hand with a complicated expression.

"What kind of lightning magic is this?"

Thunder magic has the power to frighten evil. Although the Glazed Pure Flame Divine Thunder has fallen into the Buddhist sect, it is still considered a thunder magic. Su Che is now testing it out and directly broke Zhu'er's illusion with brute force.

"I'm here to collect something. I'm just doing my job. I'll ignore whatever you ask."

Zhu'er stood with her hands on her hips, staring maliciously at Su Che's neck.

"Holding around a piece of junk, who do you think you are?"

"okay."

Madam Xie's voice came from the house behind Zhu'er.

Her voice was very calm, and she seemed unfazed by praise or criticism.

"Since you're holding this sword, I'll assume you're one of them. Listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

Madam Xie seemed to have had plenty of experience with people who ran errands for Yue Luan, so she didn't press the matter further and started talking directly.

"The opening of that place has nothing to do with us. Although we are hoping to unseal the seals on our ancestors, we will not choose this moment to defy the world and cause trouble."

Zhu'er snorted in annoyance.

"As for who did it, we have some clues. Those who wanted to change the world back then are not all dead. They are secretly accumulating strength. We estimate that it may be them. They could build a Listening Rain Pavilion back then, and they can build a Wind-Viewing Pavilion now."

Madam Xie seemed to be waiting for Su Che to write these words down before she added more.

"We can't deliver the goods to you this time because half of them were lost. The responsibility naturally lies with us. We will find a way to compensate you for whatever you want. If His Majesty asks, just tell him this. Zhu'er, give him the goods."

The maid Zhu'er took out a pure white jade bottle from her sleeve and threw it towards Su Che, who caught it immediately.

This vase feels very light in my hand, and I have no idea what's inside.

"This is a gift I'm giving to Master Yue, as a token of our sincerity. Whatever the Emperor can give, we will give more, not less."

Madam Xie said calmly, "Bai Zu will be coming here from the East Sea soon. He has always admired Master Yue. When he arrives, I would like to ask Elder Yue to take the time to meet him after he has learned about the situation at Bailu Cave. Now that I have finished speaking, you may leave."

Su Che weighed the porcelain bottle in his hand, then performed a somersault and flew away.

"Farewell."
