If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 209 Clouds move in all directions
In the deserted wilderness, a slight cold wind blows. As winter approaches, it becomes even more noisy and chilly.

As the sound of footsteps rang out, in the deserted wilderness, constables dressed in yamen uniforms gradually emerged from the darkness.

In the sky, the sound of breaking air continued to resound.

Constables whose strength had reached the level of unity dropped from the sky and surrounded Shen Bai.

Shen Bai frowned, and then saw Zhang Daoling and everyone coming closer.

"How dare you, Shen Bai, kill my son? As an official appointed by the imperial court, you committed such a murder. What crime should you be punished for?"

As soon as Zhang Daoling appeared, he shouted at Shen Bai.

When Shen Bai heard Zhang Daoling's words, he looked around again, then understood and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"I can't believe that Lord Zhang would come up with such a trick to deal with my formidable enemy. However, the cost of framing me is a bit high. You can even sacrifice your own son."

Around them, many constables and captains looked at each other.

They were all a little surprised when they heard Shen Bai say this, but they didn't show it.

There was no emotion in Zhang Daoling's eyes, just indifference.

He looked at Shen Bai and said slowly, "Shen Bai, I don't know what you are talking about, but now that the evidence is irrefutable, I urge you to surrender and follow me back to the yamen to be punished."

Although his face was expressionless, Zhang Daoling's heart was bleeding at this moment.

This was the move given to him by Xinhuo Academy.

Xinhuo Academy guessed that Shen Bai would most likely visit the government office at night, so they asked him to send Zhang Huan out quickly. However, before sending him out, they came up with two clever ideas.

One is that it is natural for Zhang Huan to be sent to other places, so Zhang Daoling will be safe for the time being.

The second is that Zhang Huan has no way to escape, so let Zhang Huan die and put all the blame on Shen Bai.

Zhang Huan had already placed a line of text inside his body, so he could easily sense any abnormalities around him.

So when Shen Bai was about to catch him, Zhang Daoling detonated the text, blowing Zhang Huan's flesh and bones apart.

He is Zhang Daoling's son, but Zhang Daoling has no choice now.

If he thought about it carefully, if he killed Zhang Huan, he would be able to completely escape from the crisis, and at least Shen Bai would not be able to find anything.

Although it was a bit cruel to kill his own son with his own hands, Zhang Daoling had no other choice but to resort to this last resort.

After losing his son, he could still have more children, but if he died, the Zhang family would be completely extinct.

Seeing Zhang Daoling's indifferent expression, Shen Bai sneered, "I've fallen into your trap today, but if you want to take me back, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"Are you still going to resist arrest?" Zhang Daoling frowned.

If Shen Bai went back to the yamen with him today, he could personally conduct the trial, and there would naturally be a lot of operations involved.

If Shen Bai resists arrest, that would be even better. By then, Shen Bai would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Shen Bai slowly shook his head and said, "I'll go back to the government office with you, but they don't have the qualifications to escort me."

After he finished speaking, Shen Bai didn't even say a word. He turned into a shadow and flew towards Ling Yundao's location.

The detectives around wanted to stop Shen Bai, but under Shen Bai's gaze, they subconsciously paused for a moment.

Zhang Daoling looked at Shen Bai's flying back, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the yamen."

I'll let you be arrogant today.

Wait until we get to the yamen and see how arrogant you are.

At that time, if you still think about escaping or doing other things, I will have a way to deal with you.

Zhang Daoling was constantly planning in his mind.

Soon, Zhang Daoling brought many constables and rushed back to Lingyun Road.

……

Lingyun said.

In the yamen.

Wang Teng and Ma Yuan, along with a group of members of the Tianjiansi, hurried over and saw Shen Bai sitting in the lobby of the yamen, looking at Zhang Daoling leisurely.

"How dare you detain the chief of the Heavenly Monitoring Department? This is totally lawless."

Wang Teng took a step forward, and his strength at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm continued to radiate, making the surrounding constables and captains breathless.

Ma Yuan came to Shen Bai and asked with concern, "Master Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I want to see today, Zhang Daoling, what exactly do you want from me?"

Above the lobby, Zhang Daoling sat in his seat, clenching his fists. He looked gloomy, but he didn't show it.

What the Tianshisi did today was to give me his face.

Although he framed Shen Bai this time, Shen Bai was still guilty no matter what.

But the Astronomical Supervisor treated him as if he were invisible and made a big fuss in the yamen.

As a Daoling, how could he endure such injustice?
"Snapped!"

Zhang Daoling placed the gavel on the table and shouted, "Shen Bai has committed a crime now. Do you still want to protect him? If so, I will report all the facts of today to His Majesty in Xuanjing City. What will you do?"

Ma Yuan was originally inquiring about the trial, but upon hearing Zhang Daoling's words, he immediately looked up and said, "The court has decreed that if a member of the Tianjian Division commits a crime, it should be left to the Tianjian Division to handle it. The people in the government office can't intervene. Moreover, Lord Shen is the director of the Division, the same rank as you. How are you going to try him?"

This is indeed the regulation of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

If a member of the Tianjiansi committed a crime, the Tianjiansi would report it to the higher authorities, who would then handle the matter.

Especially considering Shen Bai's identity, if he was really interrogated by the people from the yamen today, where would the face of the Jiantiansi be?

After hearing what Ma Yuan said, Shen Bai shook his head and said, "There's no need to confront him. I want to see how he interrogates me. Come on, let's get started."

After saying this, Shen Bai put on a casual look, lying on the chair with his hands behind his head.

Zhang Daoling saw this and sneered, "Shen Bai, I really can't go beyond my authority to deal with you, but you are guilty now. Before reporting to Xuanjing City, you must not act rashly."

"If there are any unusual circumstances, I can dispatch special detectives to conduct surveillance. This is permitted by the circumstances, as you should understand."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai lowered his hands and said with a smile, "I see. Using this as an excuse to monitor me and understand my every move is truly a good plan."

Now that we have it all out in the open,

Shen Bai also knew Zhang Daoling's situation thoroughly.

This guy must have connections with people from Xinhuo Academy, otherwise he would never have done these things.

As for the reason, it is probably related to Zhang Daoling's son.

Now Zhang Daoling killed his own son for the sake of justice, and he no longer had to worry about anything.

My arrival was actually an indirect reason for Zhang Huan's death.

He had expected that Zhang Daoling would deal with him.

In that case, Shen Bai would say whatever he wanted to say directly without any hesitation.

Zhang Daoling narrowed his eyes and said, "If you think so, then so be it. Anyway, I am only acting in accordance with the regulations of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

He could see that Shen Bai had already guessed it, but without any evidence, Shen Bai could only act according to this rule.

This is indeed one of the plans of Xinhuo Academy.

Once Shen Bai is monitored by the constable, his various movements will be understood, and it will be easier to deal with him.

Ma Yuan frowned.

He was about to speak when Shen Bai patted him on the shoulder.

Shen Bai stood up and said, "Arrange your people and keep an eye on me. I don't mind."

Ma Yuan was a little anxious.

He didn't know why Lord Shen did this. In fact, if he had been more forceful, those detectives wouldn't even be able to enter the Tianjiansi.

But now that Shen Bai has spoken, as a subordinate, Ma Yuan can't say much.

Wang Teng has been releasing powerful aura to suppress this group of constables.

Even if Zhang Daoling gave the order, the detectives did not dare to step forward.

At this moment, after Wang Teng received Shen Bai's signal, he thought for a moment and then put away the pressure on his body.
Several constables came forward, hesitated for a long time, and finally stood beside Shen Bai.

After all, their boss is Zhang Daoling. If they really don't do what Zhang Daoling says, the worst that could happen is that they lose their jobs.

"Let's go. You can follow me back to the Heavenly Guardian Division."

Shen Bai yawned, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Under Zhang Daoling's sight, he turned and left the yamen.

Zhang Daoling looked at Shen Bai's back, and the coldness in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

After Shen Bai left, he dismissed everyone and walked towards the inner courtyard.

……

In the yard, a young man dressed as a servant was sweeping the fallen leaves in the corner.

Both his movements and expressions resembled those of a government servant.

At this moment, when he saw Zhang Daoling walk in, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Daoling observed the situation for a moment, then walked up to the servant and said, "The people we arranged to monitor Shen Bai have already gone, but Shen Bai seems to have read our mind and is actually following our instructions. This is a bit strange."

Wen Jing put down the broom and leaned it against the wall before saying, "Shen Bai has the ability to detect the surroundings. Fortunately, I thought of pretending to be a servant and carrying something that can block out auras. You don't have to worry. Now everyone is playing their cards straight. As long as Shen Bai can't find any evidence against you, you can rest easy."

"Even the laws of the Great Zhou Kingdom can't do anything to you. We have another plan hidden in this plan, and Shen Bai is transparent in front of us. His every move will be known to us."

Zhang Daoling nodded and said, "Shen Bai hasn't sent anyone to Lianyun Yaoshan yet. What are you going to do?"

Wen Jing smiled and said, "Since he won't send anyone over, then I will make things bigger. He will definitely send members of the Tianjian Division over. Then, I will make a commotion somewhere else, and Shen Bai will be distracted."

"Wherever the defense is weak, I will deal with Shen Bai there."

Zhang Daoling pondered and said, "I hope you can do this cleanly. After this matter is over, I will no longer have anything to do with you."

"Now my son is dead, so you must keep your promise."

Wen Jing picked up the broom beside him and swept it twice in a pretentious manner: "Look, in order to kill Shen Bai, I have become your family's servant. What does the death of your son mean to you? Don't worry, after this matter is over, you will still be the Dao Order of Lingyun Dao, and we will not threaten you anymore."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Daoling's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Let's do it this way." Wen Jing threw down the broom, and then his figure gradually faded.

"If I still need your help, I will contact you."

A moment later, Wen Jing disappeared.

Zhang Daoling is the only one left here.

Zhang Daoling looked at the empty inner courtyard and remembered that he had killed Zhang Huan with his own hands. A trace of sadness flashed through his heart.

This sadness was quickly wiped away by him.

He returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, and continued to ponder.

……

Outside, Shen Bai was walking on the street, looking at the police chiefs around him.

After Poxu glanced around with his red eyes, his eyes were calm, but he was thinking in his heart.

"Zhang Daoling is indeed cautious enough. These are normal detectives, not members of evil forces. They will only report my daily whereabouts."

Next to them, several constables had sweat on their foreheads and looked extremely nervous.

It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous. After all, they were facing Director Si of Lingyun Dao.

Moreover, this Taoist priest Si seems to be at odds with their Lord Zhang.

Now that this has happened, the situation has become even more serious.

Those who came to monitor Shen Bai were feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Bai patted the captain's shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. You are just following orders. I understand this. I am not such a cruel person."

When the captain heard what Shen Bai said, sweat broke out on his forehead even more.

Rumor has it in the martial arts world that Shen Bai is moody and murderous.

If you say at this time that you are not that kind of person, they really won’t believe you.

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he looked at Wang Teng and Ma Yuan and said, "After you go back, investigate the matter of Lianyun Yaoshan and formulate a plan as soon as possible. I will only give you one day. Before tomorrow night, the personnel deployment and various matters must be clearly submitted to me."

Ma Yuan quickly responded, "Sir, I obey your orders."

"Don't worry about this matter. It will be done before tomorrow night."

Shen Bai said no more and continued to rush towards the location of the Tianjiansi.

Soon, he returned to the five-story building and closed the door.

Outside the door, there were several constables guarding.

Wang Teng and Ma Yuan looked at each other and went to arrange the task assigned by Shen Bai.

As for why Shen Bai did this today, they were not very clear, but they did not dare to say more.

After all, this was the boss's idea, and they, as subordinates, dared not interfere.

The captains of the police were standing guard outside. Although their expressions were serious, everyone was actually very nervous inside.

Except for Shen Bai in the room, who seemed particularly relaxed, everyone else had a solemn expression.

After entering the room, Shen Bai clapped his hands, and then a formation shielded the room.

Amber and red makeup emerged from the body.

There was a hint of confusion in Hongzhuang's eyes: "Why did the master ask them to send people over? He could have just sent them away." Even Hongzhuang was a little confused, so she had this question.

Amber looked confused.

She wasn't a person who liked to use her brain, so she just kept nodding.

"What the master does is right. The master definitely has his own reasons."

Shen Bai looked at the two very different women, sat down, pointed at the teacup next to him, and said, "Look at the tea."

Hongzhuang was very sensible. After making a cup of tea for Shen Bai, she handed it to Shen Bai with both hands.

Shen Bai took a sip and looked at Hong Zhuang, whose face was filled with curiosity. He smiled and touched her cheek, saying, "The other party's plan has put me in a desperate situation. From what I can see, Zhang Daoling has already sent a letter to Xuanjun City overnight."

"But it's not a big problem. I can just use a trick to counter the opponent's strategy."

After hearing this, Hong Zhuang seemed to understand a little, but she still waited quietly for Shen Bai's next words.

After a brief pause, Shen Bai continued, "He wants to find my whereabouts, right? Then I will tell him where I am. But whether this whereabouts is true or false, or a mixture of true and false, depends on how they guess."

Hong Zhuang's eyes lit up slightly: "Master's intention is to use these constables to spread false information."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "That's right. News that is difficult to distinguish true from false is the most confusing. This way I can turn passivity into initiative."

Since arriving at Lingyun Road, Shen Bai seemed to be very proactive, but in fact he has always been in a passive state.

Whether it was the family dinner of Marquis Ren De or the current situation, he was in the open while the other party was in the dark.

Now we can use the opponent's strategy to turn passivity into initiative.

Now it depends on what information he releases.

The other party can only plan the next step according to the information he released.

"So, master, when do you plan to send the message?" Hong Zhuang asked curiously.

Shen Bai said calmly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow night."

He looked at the closed door and pondered in his heart.

……

Time passes gradually.

In the blink of an eye, a day passes by.

The next day, everything was still calm.

But in this calm, there were slight movements that kept coming.

Lianyun Yaoshan has now become a forbidden area of ​​Lingyun Dao.

It is said that there are many evil spirits lurking there, causing many people to suspend the mining of medicinal fields.

The attention of the people in the martial arts world also shifted to the Tianjian Division of Lingyun Dao.

They were also waiting to see how the Heavenly Supervisor would act.

This day was just like any other.

The sun rises and sets, until the moon replaces the sun's light and gradually disappears.

When darkness fell, lights were already flickering in the five-story building.

At this moment, Shen Bai looked at the smoke in front of him and felt calm in his heart.

After the smoke gradually condensed, it turned into a line of text and floated in the air.

【生死纳物术lv.4（空间+8，活物+8，死物+8，传送+8）：0/10000】

When the smoke appeared in front of him, it quickly disappeared and turned into a large amount of information, which was transmitted into Shen Bai's mind.

As for before, Shen Bai had already gone to the fuzzy space and seen the phantom pretending to be cool.

When Shen Bai absorbed all the information, he opened his eyes.

"This magical power is really beyond my expectations."

After reaching the fourth level, the Life and Death Collection Technique, in addition to doubling the previous attributes, also has an additional teleportation attribute.

Just as the name suggests, Shen Bai can use the space of the Life and Death Storage Technique to open a channel and then teleport to another place.

For Shen Bai, the effect of this magical power is extremely powerful.

Although there is no increase in combat power, it is much more powerful whether it is traveling or escaping.

According to this distance, Shen Bai could probably pass from the east gate of Lingyun Road to the west gate.

The entire Lingyun Road is extremely vast, and this long-distance transmission is sufficient for Shen Bai.

It was much faster than traveling thousands of miles by using his divine speed.

Besides, if he encounters an enemy that he cannot defeat, he can hide in the space of the Life and Death Containment Technique, or even use the Life and Death Containment Technique to escape.

"If this magical power is used well, it will be more powerful than combat-type magical powers."

Shen Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.

With the new magical power, and the upgrade of this magical power, the golden bridge in his body grew a little bit.

But unfortunately, the Art of Life and Death was only upgraded from level three to level four, and the level increase was not very high, so the growth was not too much.

But these are not the issues that Shen Bai should care about.

"Hongzhuang, are they still guarding outside?"

Shen Bai yawned, leaned back in the chair, and enjoyed Amber's massage.

Hong Zhuang sat beside him, pushed the tea in front of Shen Bai, and said, "Yes, Master, they have been guarding outside the whole time and have not left for a single step. They changed people several times in the middle."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Ma Yuan, Wang Teng and the others should have made a specific plan. Now is the time to come up."

Under the cover of Shen Baipo's red eyes, Ma Yuan and Wang Teng were at the stairs, slowly walking towards the fifth floor.

The time he set for the two of them was before tonight.

So in recent times, the members of the Tianjiansi have been formulating plans for Lianyun Yaoshan.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the five-story building.

The two constables guarding the door did not dare to stop them and quickly opened the door.

After the two came in, Shen Bai looked at them with a smile.

Ma Yuan winked at Wang Teng, and Wang Teng nodded and handed the letter in his hand to Shen Bai with both hands.

After Shen Bai received it, he opened it and read the contents from beginning to end before putting it aside.

"It seems that these three evil forces have invested a lot of money this time." Shen Bai said to himself.

According to the contents of this memorial, this trip to Lianyun Yaoshan may not be that simple.

The momentum there was so great that it felt like most of the main forces of the three evil forces had gone there.

Ma Yuan then said, "Sir, given the situation, we must mobilize 70% of the main force of the Tianjian Division to ensure that no enemy is left behind."

In order to smooth over this incident, it actually doesn't take so many people, but if you want to kill all the opponents and not let anyone escape, so many members must be sent.

This is also the result obtained by several people after patiently calculating throughout the day.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Send the order down. Dispatch the four divisions A, B, C, and D. Each of them should take 70% of their main force and go to Lianyun Yaoshan to put an end to this matter."

Ma Yuan nodded and agreed.

At the door of the room, the two captains secretly kept these words in mind but did not show it.

Their purpose is to understand Shen Bai's actions. Now that Shen Bai has behaved abnormally, they must report it to Dao Ling.

Afterwards, a captain of the police left the five-story building and headed towards the yamen.

Shen Bai's red eyes took in this scene, winked at Ma Yuan, and then slowly moved a letter from the table in front of Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan was about to speak, but when he saw Shen Bai shaking his head, he immediately remained silent and picked up the letter on the table.

Shen Bai said, "In that case, you can take your people down and close my door. I still need to be in seclusion here for the next few days. We'll talk about it later."

"Yes."

The two did not dare to stay any longer. They took the envelope given by Shen Bai, put it away, and quietly left the five-story building.

The door was closed by the two of them, and the room fell into silence again.

Shen Bai snapped his fingers, and the formation silently covered the room.

Hong Zhuang asked, "Master, it seems the other party will fall into the trap."

Shen Bai nodded: "This time, I will only send half of the people over, but I will make it look like everyone is there."

Hong Zhuang was slightly surprised when she heard this and said, "Master, if we have half of the people, the evil forces might escape, or even suffer a subsequent counterattack."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, just drive them away. For the time being, we won't allow the people to go to Lianyun Yaoshan to collect herbs."

"Actually, the other side's play was quite exciting, but in my opinion, it wasn't exciting enough."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body and performed the Wuji Gua technique.

The golden color in front of him proved that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement.

Hong Zhuang also understood what Shen Bai meant at this time and said in surprise, "I understand. This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. How did you see that, Master?"

Shen Bai made this arrangement, sending only half of his men over, in order to prevent the other party from luring the enemy away.

Hong Zhuang could see this, but what she didn't understand was why Shen Bai knew this.

“Actually, I didn’t know it at first.”

Shen Bai said slowly, "If what happened last night hadn't happened, I might have really withdrawn 70% of my combat power. But after what happened last night, I feel like the other party has added a superfluous act to their perfect plan."

"Think about it, if we try to lure the tiger away from the mountain while trying to find out the enemy's movements, what will we, their enemies, think?"

"I would think that the other party wanted to know my movements, confirm that I sent so many people, and then plan another thing from this."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they want to know my whereabouts to prevent the people in Lianyun Yaoshan from being wiped out by the men I sent."

"But no matter which one it is, sending half of our forces is the safest approach. If those Jianghu demons escape, they can escape. As long as nothing serious happens, we can slowly eliminate them later."

After listening to Shen Bai's analysis, Hong Zhuang nodded and said, "Master, your analysis does make sense. Regardless of whether it's a decoy or not, for now, we should emphasize stability. Master, what about Zhang Daoling? He will know everything you do now."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "If he wants to know, then just let him know. I will stay in this room and won't go out even a step."

Hong Zhuang was stunned on the spot: "But Master, if it is really as you said, and he lures the tiger away from the mountain, if one side cannot be stabilized, you will definitely go over."

As the director of the department, Shen Bai must go there in person when the situation cannot be stabilized. This is beyond doubt.

Moreover, Hongzhuang had another idea that she didn't ask, which was what if Shen Bai went to Lianyun Yaoshan, and Lianyun Yaoshan actually didn't have so many evil people in the martial arts world.

Wouldn’t the other party’s plan fail?

Shen Bai saw Hong Zhuang's performance.

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Even if I go to Lianyun Yaoshan, they will take other actions to lead me to another place."

"If I'm not mistaken, there will be another change soon."

"We just wait quietly, waiting for the variables that will allow me to go to another place, then we can truly turn the tables."

Hong Zhuang refilled the tea, handed it to Shen Bai, and said, "Then I will follow the master's orders."

The room fell silent again.

Shen Bai removed the formation, drank his tea patiently, looked at the moon outside the window, and felt very happy.

……

yamen.

The chief constable had already arrived at the yamen and told Zhang Daoling what had happened.

Zhang Daoling came to the inner courtyard, found Wen Jing, and told him all of Shen Bai's arrangements.

After hearing Zhang Daoling's reply, Wen Jing nodded and said, "Since he wants to withdraw 70% of the people, then we will evacuate the people from Lianyun Yaoshan."

Zhang Daoling frowned and said, "Shen Bai hasn't decided yet whether to follow him. If Shen Bai also goes to Lianyun Yaoshan, I'm afraid your people won't be enough."

"And your so-called divide and conquer plan will definitely fail."

Wen Jing shook his head and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to worry about this. Don't worry, by now, Marquis Ren De should have made some moves."

Zhang Daoling pondered and said, "You mean the Marquis of Rende."

Wen Jing nodded and said, "That's right. Shen Bai has reasons to go to Ren Dehou's place. You just need to observe quietly."

"I need to go to Marquis Ren De's place now. Sir Zhang, can you come with me? I can let Sir Zhang appreciate the miserable appearance of Shen Bai before his death."

Zhang Daoling chuckled: "I don't like to read any of this. I just want to get the news that Shen Bai has died. You guys can go by yourselves."

Seeing Zhang Daoling's cold attitude, Wen Jing didn't say anything else and quickly disappeared in the yard.

Although Zhang Daoling appeared calm on the surface, he was actually praying in his heart as he looked at the place where Wen Jing disappeared, hoping that Shen Bai would never come back this time.

At this moment, a soldier hurried to the scene downstairs of the Jiantiansi Building.

Wang Teng and Ma Yuan had just come down when they ran into this soldier.

Ma Yuan was going to arrange manpower, so he left with the letter given by Shen Bai.

Wang Teng looked at the soldier and asked, "What brings you to the Tianshi Division?"

The soldiers looked very hurried and their faces were covered in sweat.

When he saw Wang Teng, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Quick, take me to find Lord Shen. The Marquis was suddenly poisoned while in a military camp today. I heard that Lord Shen can detoxify him. I hope Lord Shen can lend a hand."
