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

Chapter 53 The Truth
After saying this, Zhang Chaofeng rubbed the ring on his hand slightly, with a joking and indifferent tone.

"I thought I hid it well enough. This ring can conceal its own aura, and hide the aura along with the aura. No one else can find it. Even cultivators can't tell that the ring is a aura. But how did you find out?"

"Could it be that you have the ability to detect others? Boss, you really surprise me. What made you go from an ordinary person to a cultivator, and in such a short time?"

Having said that, Zhang Chaofeng tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers, and the mocking look in his eyes became more intense.

Shen Bai stared at the ring on Zhang Chaofeng's middle finger and said calmly, "Everyone in this world always has flaws, and flaws will be discovered. Is it strange that I discovered you?"

To be honest, Zhang Chaofeng hid very well from beginning to end.

If someone else were here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to grasp Zhang Chaofeng's identity.

But Shen Bai is different.

In front of Shen Bai's eyes, words made of smoke appeared in the void.

【Antique Ring】

[Identification progress: 0%]

[A trace of evil spirit can be quickly identified]

That's right, the monster has the ability to hide its breath, and can even hide its own breath without being discovered.

But all this was useless in front of Shen Bai.

The reason is very simple. Shen Bai's golden finger is specifically used to detect strange objects. Even if they can be hidden, the information will be seen by the golden finger.

Shen Bai has always been curious about why Zhang Chaofeng, who possesses a strange object, is unaware of it.

Connecting the cause and effect, Shen Bai suddenly discovered a problem.

During the time when Zhang Chaofeng disappeared, the man behind the evil sect started to stir up trouble.

Zhang Chaofeng appeared and said that the village had been massacred. When he rushed to the village, he encountered a strange fox demon.

Adding to that the ring Zhang Chaofeng is wearing now, it's hard for Shen Bai not to associate them together.

After Zhang Chaofeng heard what Shen Bai said, his interest gradually increased.

"Shopkeeper, you haven't answered me yet. What exactly made you transform from an ordinary person to such a level? Was it that painting of a lady? It's true that the painting of a lady is a strange object, but it's impossible for it to allow you to enter the door just by relying on it."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Is this question important?"

"It's not important." Zhang Chaofeng shook his head. "It's just my curiosity. What's important is what the shopkeeper plans to do. You and I have been together for so many years. In fact, I have always had a lot of feelings for the shopkeeper."

"If you don't expose it today, our matter will just be over. When the tomb is opened, maybe I can give you some good things."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Do you think I believe what you said?"

"You've been in my pawn shop all this time, and with what happened today, I guess you're just trying to get yourself out of this."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chaofeng asked with interest, "It seems the shopkeeper has guessed something."

Shen Bai said slowly: "Whether you returned to the pawn shop, or your village was massacred by you, or you personally participated in the incident of going to the village, people would think that you were an innocent victim."

"After the tomb is opened, you will definitely cause trouble. By then, you will be pursued by the Heavenly Supervisor. You will be the safest one, am I right?" "Hahahaha." Zhang Chaofeng laughed heartily. "Boss, I realize that I underestimated you before. Besides your strength, you are also smart. You guessed right. I will definitely be the first to be taken out. But you shouldn't have said it today. It seems that one of us is going to die."

"Do you think it's you who should die, or me?"

Shen Bai snapped his fingers, and the long sword at his waist was held in his hand, and the blood-red sword energy was hidden.

Zhang Chaofeng raised his hand and said, "Today is not the time to take action, and you can't kill me."

Having said that, Zhang Chaofeng suddenly made a strange gesture.

Zhang Chaofeng stretched out his hand and tore open his clothes at his chest.

There was no flesh and blood under the clothes, but instead a pile of straw.

"See? I am not myself. What you see is just a scarecrow's fake body."

"Boss, I'm not so stupid as to come to you in my true form. With the speed at which you killed the fox demon, killing me would be as easy as pie."

"Then what's the point of you?" Shen Bai narrowed his eyes. "The purpose of hiding your identity is gone, and you can't get yourself out of it. The result is that in the end, you will still be hunted down by the people of the Tianjian Division. It will not do you any good."

"Yes, there is no benefit, but revenge is enough." Zhang Chaofeng sighed: "Everyone in Shengyun County must die. After revenge, life and death will no longer matter to me."

"Being alive is a good thing, but not being alive is also fine."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "It seems that the letter you left behind was half true and half false. Shengyun County seems to really feel guilty towards you."

When this was mentioned, Zhang Chaofeng, who had been calm, began to change.

His face turned blood red and there was anger in his eyes that was about to burst out.

"More than ten years ago, my entire family, including the orphans and widows, were killed by a strange creature. The entire village was completely wiped out by the strange creature, but the government couldn't find any information or clues, and they couldn't even catch the strange creature."

"The people from the Tiantian Division came here for inspection. I wanted to report it to the Tiantian Division, but the county magistrate at the time stopped me and threatened me not to report it."

"Do you think it's worth living in such a rotten county?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai fell into silence.

Zhang Chaofeng continued, "At that time, the county magistrate said that if I reported it, I would be wiped out. I didn't even have the qualifications to report it. They stopped me and held me still, not letting me leave until they had finished their inspection."

“Who can resolve my grievances?”

"More than ten years ago, it seems that the current county magistrate was not the same, and the constables did not seem to be the same batch." Shen Bai said.

The coldness in Zhang Chaofeng's eyes grew even more severe. "They're all dead. They were killed by the weird. Isn't that funny? They couldn't find the weird, suppressed the matter, and finally died at the hands of the weird."

"That time, 30% of the people in Shengyun County died. All the people in the government office, including the county magistrate, died at the hands of the strange man."

"In the end, the people from the Heavenly Supervisory Department took action and killed Guiyi. This part of history is not allowed to be recorded in the county history. Only the people who survived the incident know about it."

"Since they're all dead, your revenge has been taken." Shen Bai said, "Why do you want to implicate innocent people?"

Zhang Chaofeng stood up suddenly. "This corrupt world deserves to be completely wiped out. Since then, I have been wandering in the world and have been exposed to the threshold of cultivation. I even joined the Thief Sect and then the Upper Evil Sect. I realized that only by dying can I start all over again."
