This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 375: Failure

"Wait a minute?"

Li Fei’s words stunned Shentu Yue.

If you want to have a duel, why wait?
But seeing that Li Fei's attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards Huang Jin just now, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

After all, Li Fei had just told Huang Jin that he "didn't want to fight with anyone tonight", but when facing her, he told her that he could wait.

Such an obvious contrast really makes it hard not to think too much.

"Did he deliberately reject Senior Brother Huang to show me his attitude?"

Shentu Yue thought so.

Everyone present had similar thoughts, and their eyes looked at Li Fei with a hint of ambiguity.

It is true that heroes have always loved beauties!

Chi Chengyu smiled: "Then wait a moment, come, Marquis Jing'an, I'll toast you a glass."

The atmosphere of the banquet became lively again.

Inspection Department.

Li Fei controlled the two enemies he had captured alive.

As for the 'Night Demon' Soze who rushed in from the main gate at the beginning, he had already rushed out of the compound of the Supervisory Ministry before Liusha withdrew.

The three Daoji-stage warriors and a dozen or so martial artists who besieged him were unable to stop him, nor did they pursue him.

In addition, a great wizard in the possession stage who was hiding in the dark also escaped.

However, this man's two magical weapons, the mask and the Soul-Shocking Mountain-Breaking Hammer, fell into Li Fei's hands.

Without his main magical weapon, this great wizard with amazing combat power is basically useless and is not to be feared for the time being.

"I plan to use secret methods to interrogate these two people first."

Li Fei said to He Jian, "Don't worry, I will be sensible this time and won't let their memories be destroyed."

He Jian nodded: "It's good that Lord Li knows his limits."

In any case, the success of this ambush tonight was almost entirely due to Li Fei.

Li Fei was trying to trust the professional abilities of He Jian and others, and He Jian was also trying to trust the Marquis of Jing'an.

So Li Fei stayed alone in the cell where several prisoners were held, and the others left temporarily.

Although he trusted He Jian and others, he would not let them see the specific interrogation process so as not to expose his own secrets.

Soon, Li Fei used the "Gate of Dreams" to enter the subconscious world of the two people one by one.

More than ten minutes later, Li Fei walked out of the cell with a serious expression.

"Master Li, how is it?"

He Jian asked immediately.

Li Fei sorted out the memories in his mind and slowly said:

"We found new clues, but the people involved are a bit tricky."

At the Hongxiu Restaurant, a new song and dance performance began.

Everyone was toasting each other, music was melodious, and the beauty before them was also a feast for the eyes.

Li Fei handled everyone's compliments and toasts very easily. This kind of occasion made him feel like he was in his previous life.

It’s just that in his previous life, he would take the initiative to toast others and say compliments to others.

And now he has become the 'protagonist' of this banquet.

Suddenly, Li Fei frowned slightly.

"Marquis Jing'an, what's wrong?"

Chi Chengyu, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with Li Fei.

Li Fei's eyes changed, but soon returned to normal: "It's okay, someone else will be here soon."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Master Chi will know in a moment."

"Hahaha, okay."

After a brief conversation, the two continued to enjoy the singing and dancing.

However, Chi Chengyu keenly noticed that Li Fei was not in a good mood and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, a subordinate from the Zhige Department quickly came to Chi Chengyu and whispered something in his ear.

The smile on Chi Chengyu's face disappeared, and he turned to look at Li Fei:
"Someone went to the Supervisory Department to break into the prison. Does Marquis Jing'an know about this?"

He had already learned the news from the Supervisory Ministry compound.

Li Fei nodded: "I know."

The smile on Chi Chengyu's face disappeared little by little:
"It seems that Marquis Jing'an came to the banquet tonight to set up a trap?"

"That's indeed my intention. I hope Master Chi doesn't mind."

Li Fei said calmly.

Shentu Yue had actually been paying attention to this situation. With her level of cultivation, she could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

When she heard this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Li Fei who was sitting in the main seat with a complicated expression.

It turns out that he came to the banquet tonight to lure out the snake from its hole, instead of really wanting to compete with me?
So what was the reason for his change of attitude just now?
Shentu Yue withdrew his gaze and smiled at himself.

"Assisting Marquis Jing'an in solving the case is my duty. Why would I mind? But if Marquis Jing'an had told me in advance, I could have arranged for the people from the Zhige Department to cooperate in advance."

Chi Chengyu said.

"I wasn't sure if anyone would come to rob the prison, and I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I didn't tell Lord Chi."

Li Fei explained.

When He Jian learned that Gansu Province's Anti-War Department and Supervision Department had worked together but had not been able to find any clues about the ambush and killing of Liu Jiehui and others in ten days, he felt that there was something wrong.

He could no longer trust the government power of Gansu Province.

So Li Fei and He Jian did not tell anyone else about tonight's game in advance.

Facts have proved that there must be a traitor within the Supervisory Department, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Liusha could accurately find the location of Liu Jiehui's cell.

Chi Chengyu looked at Li Fei: "Do you need me to do anything now?"

Li Fei nodded: "A demon warrior has escaped. Sir Chi, please have someone search the whole city for him."

Chi Chengyu was a little surprised.

Li Fei sat next to him the whole time, and no one passed any information to him. How did he know the situation over there?

"Okay, I'll give the order right away."

Chi Chengyu turned around and gave orders to his subordinates who came to report the news, and sent out the masters of the Zhige Department to search the entire city.

"Since there is an emergency, will the dinner continue?"

Chi Chengyu turned and looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Wait a little longer, I will need Mr. Chi's cooperation in a while."

"Oh?"

Chi Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, "Okay, then I'll listen to Marquis Jing'an."

The Li Fei in the Hongxiu Restaurant was indeed not his real self, but a clone activated by "Ghost Shadow".

If he didn't have the core-level supernatural ability of perception, his clone would be indistinguishable from the real thing.

But that's not enough.

Li Fei also used the Ru Meng Ling to cast the "One Leaf Blindness Technique" on the clone with the realm of a great magician in the possession stage. Finally, he put on the golden jade scales armor on the clone.

Any protective clothing will affect the perception of others. With the quality of this magical clothing, it can almost block most perceptions from the outside world.

With all these factors combined, Li Fei's clone was truly able to 'hide the truth'!
Although Chi Chengyu is a martial arts master, he does not possess any perception-related magical powers, so he could not see through Li Fei's disguise.

Of course, it is not enough to simply prevent others from seeing that this is a clone.

Li Fei also needs to be able to do two things at the same time. While his original body is fighting over there, his clone can move freely and talk to people over here.

This is not something that 'Shadow' can do.

By combining 'Danger Perception' and 'Shadow', Li Fei can at most allow his clone to have independent perception abilities, but that does not mean he can allow his clone to have independent consciousness.

The person who finally helped Li Fei solve this problem was Qing Ding Zhenren.

Li Fei has never forgotten the "old man" who lived in Ru Meng Ling.

It's just that I was too busy before and didn't have time to ask the other party for advice.

It was not until he participated in the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and broke through to the possession stage that he began to ask Master Qingding more questions about the practice of Taoism.

Li Fei's previous practice was all self-taught, relying on his powerful mental strength, the inspiration he gained from practicing both magic and martial arts, and his own talent (Ten Thousand Blood Pearls).

Successfully broke through to the possession stage.

But starting from the possession stage, the areas involved in the practice of magic become more complicated, and it is necessary to study how to better control and practice the magic tools.

At this stage, apart from mental power, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts and the Ten Thousand Blood Pearls could no longer bring Li Fei a clear advantage.

Just like martial arts, the practice of magic also requires guidance from a teacher.

Zhao Yi's master, Zhao Renjie, was only a great wizard in the possession period. The things he taught Zhao Yi, the notes and experiences he left for Zhao Yi, could only ensure that Zhao Yi would not encounter too big problems before the possession period.

So Li Fei relied on the secret book he got from Zhao Yi to teach himself, and also encountered many problems that he couldn't solve.

At this time, the value of the Taoist master Qing Ding was revealed.

Even though he had never practiced the Nightmare Sect's skills, and even though he specialized in alchemy, he was more than capable of guiding Li Fei, who had just entered the possession stage.

If a great magician in the possession stage is wealthy enough, he can have several magic tools, which involves a question:
How to control several magical instruments at the same time?
This is an issue that only the "local tyrants" need to consider, and naturally all the descendants of Daluo Sect are "local tyrants".

Therefore, the Daluo Sect has many skills to solve this problem.

Taoist Master Qing Ding taught Li Fei the "Five Hearts Facing the Origin" technique.

This is a skill that can divide one's virtual thoughts into five at most, use one mind for five things, and control five magical instruments at the same time.

This is already the simplest method of "dividing thoughts" in Daluo Sect.

Li Fei learned it quickly, and then under the guidance of Master Qing Ding, he made certain modifications to his clone, allowing it to accommodate some of his virtual thoughts and become like a special magical weapon.

In this way, Li Fei's clone can truly be called a clone.

An avatar that can act and think independently can have endless uses!
Moreover, the 'Five Hearts Converging to the Origin' Observation' can keep each of Li Fei's thoughts connected within a certain distance, and they can transmit information to each other.

This is why Li Fei was able to know the situation in the Supervisory Ministry compound in a timely manner while sitting in the Hongxiu Restaurant.

After the dinner had lasted for more than twenty minutes, He Jian suddenly came up from downstairs with a group of people.

The arrival of these people surprised everyone present.

"Is this the person Jing'an Hou is waiting for?"

Chi Chengyu was not surprised by the arrival of He Jian and others.

"Correct."

Li Fei stood up slowly.

His original self did not come along.

Firstly, I have to continue to stay in the prison of the Supervisory Department to avoid being attacked from behind.

Secondly, Li Fei didn't want to expose his clone.

He stood up, and Chi Chengyu and Su Xuesong followed suit.

Chi Chengyu made a gesture, and the song and dance performance on the stage stopped immediately, and the dancers quickly left the stage.

The guests who were drinking also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and put down their glasses.

The scene quickly became quiet.

"I'm really sorry to disturb your enjoyment."

Li Fei clasped his fists and saluted everyone present, and finally saluted Chi Chengyu and Su Xuesong respectively.

How could the others dare to sit down now? They all stood up and looked at Li Fei in confusion.

Li Fei looked at He Jian and nodded to him: "Thank you, Lord He, for explaining it to everyone."

So He Jian stepped forward and said loudly:
"Just now, the dungeon of the Supervisory Department compound was attacked by thieves. Someone tried to kidnap the prisoners."

This remark immediately caused a commotion.

Dare to rob the prison of the Supervisory Department? !
A serious incident of this nature has not occurred for many years.

"Fortunately, these thieves did not succeed in the end, and we captured two of them alive."

He Jian continued, "After some interrogation, we obtained some important information, so we rushed here immediately."

Just when everyone thought that He Jian wanted to tell Li Fei the important information as soon as possible, his next words made everyone present change their expressions:
"According to the intelligence, we have reason to suspect that someone is colluding with these thieves, so I brought people here as soon as possible."

"."

There was silence for a few seconds.

Su Xuesong looked at He Jian: "Master He, what you mean is that someone present tonight is colluding with the thieves who broke into the prison. Are you here to arrest someone?"

"Correct."

He Jian nodded without hesitation.

There was another commotion at the scene.

Those present today are all important figures from Gansu Province. They all know what case Li Fei and He Jian are investigating. If they are in collusion with the thieves who broke into the prison, it is possible that it is related to the Temple of Heaven assassination case.

This is a fatal thing!
"Who is Lord He trying to arrest?"

Chi Chengyu spoke.

There was no expression on his face, which was a sign that he was angry.

He carefully prepared this dinner tonight and specially invited Li Fei to boost his influence.

It turned out that Li Fei came to the banquet just to set up a trap.

That would be fine, but now they are arresting people at the banquet?!
This is a bit too disrespectful to Chi Chengyu.

Can't we wait until the party is over before catching him?
Chi Chengyu glanced at Li Fei beside him. He didn't believe that Li Fei didn't know about it in advance.

"Among the thieves we caught tonight, there is one codenamed Quicksand. He is proficient in the art of escaping underground and knows everything about the dungeon. He knows where we have imprisoned the prisoners. Two days ago, someone passed a piece of intelligence from the Supervision Department, and it eventually reached the compound at No. 19 Xicheng Road."

He Jian did not answer Chi Chengyu's question immediately, but spoke in a calm tone.

"No. 19, Xicheng Road?"

Many people present were unfamiliar with this address, and Huang Jin, who was next to Shentu Yue, had a drastic change of expression and clenched his fists tightly!
"Shentu Yue."

He Jian turned his head and looked over, his eyes deep, "Please come with us."

The compound at No. 19 Xicheng Road is Shentu Yue’s residence!

Chi Chengyu's expression changed completely, and even Su Xuesong beside him couldn't remain calm anymore.

Everyone present was equally shocked.

Li Fei looked at Shentu Yue and said with some regret:
"I originally wanted to have a duel with Miss Shentu. I hope there will be another chance in the future."

PS: I was sick these two days, and I felt dizzy after taking medicine, so I can't update twice a week
