Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 494 Aftermath (Part 6)

The "corpse-dissolving water" was the solution used by the police to dispose of the bodies of Luo Meiwei and others that day. It could quickly dissolve the clothes and other debris on the bodies of the deceased, destroying a large amount of evidence.

This corpse-dissolving potion is said to be made by extracting the fluid of horseshoe crabs and combining it with a huge amount of precious medicinal juices that Han Yi had never even heard of, and then concentrating and condensing it.

I don't know about the others, but Han Yi has some knowledge of the medicinal material of horseshoe crab fluid.

The body fluid of the horseshoe crab is yellowish-red, and its nature is hot, damp, and cold. It is an essential ingredient for neutralizing precious medicines and is extremely valuable.

In the market, there is a saying that "one or two horseshoe crab corpses are worth a hundred taels of gold."

This is just a complete horseshoe crab corpse, and the amount of bodily fluid that can be extracted from it is pitifully small. Add to that other rare medicinal herbs, and just that small bottle of corpse-dissolving water given to Han Yi alone is probably worth at least seven or eight thousand taels of gold.

Therefore, if someone truly intends to harm him, they should simply say they can't help and refuse to assist. There's absolutely no need to go to great lengths, wasting manpower, resources, and money to gather witnesses and evidence for him.

Alternatively, if Han Yi releases the distress signal fireworks but then doesn't appear at all, Han Yi will have no choice but to comply.

"So, if it wasn't ** who leaked the information, then there seems to be only one possibility..." After ruling out ** as a suspect, Han Yi thought it over and over and could only come to one conclusion.

That is, May Lo possesses some means to verify her life status.

To put it simply, someone left a secret mark on Luo Meiwei using a secret technique. It's like the sudden burst of chilling yin energy Han Yi unleashed on Chen Jiuli. The moment Luo Meiwei dies, the person behind it will receive the news immediately.

Although Han Yi had never seen this secret technique before, it didn't stop him from making bold guesses.

After all, May Lo was colluding with the Green Shirts, an organization known as an evil sect.

Since the Green Robe Alliance possesses a secret technique that allows martial artists and demonic beasts to merge and drastically increase their strength, it's highly likely that other mystical techniques in the world also exist that can detect a martial artist's life status, or even remotely control their life and death.

In particular, this matter seems to involve figures of the same level as the head of Jingtian Manor.

Fang He, the deputy head of Jingtian Manor. Even a deputy head is still a head, and his strength is at the Grandmaster level.

For someone of such a level of strength, completely beyond Han Yi's comprehension, it would be perfectly normal for them to possess various strange and unique secret techniques. However…

Han Yi shook his head and sighed.

He originally thought that Luo Meiwei's matter was just a matter of collusion with a certain head of the inner courtyard, as well as collusion with the Green Robe Alliance inside and outside, to smuggle contraband from his territory for profit.

This kind of thing is indeed a big deal, but it's not a big deal in the grand sense either.

Once the smuggled contraband is recovered, the matter can be easily resolved and the issue can be dropped.

This is also an important reason why Han Yi wrote a letter to his master Zhong Yunxiu as soon as he returned.

If it only involves the head of the academy within Jingtian Manor, then with the academy heads in a standoff, the matter can be resolved smoothly.

But now it seems that the head of the academy is just an executor in the case of contraband, and the real mastermind behind the scenes seems to be someone of the same level as the manor lord.

Therefore, relying solely on Zhong Yunxiu to intervene seems unreliable.

Moreover, judging from Chen Jiuli's words, Qiyun Mountain is merely one link in the communication chain with the Green Robe Alliance. Similar situations exist in other outposts outside Jingtian Manor.

This can only mean that the collusion with the Green-Clad Alliance involved many high-ranking members of Jingtian Manor, led by Fang He, who sought to gain huge profits from it.

It's not hard to tell from Zhong Yunxiu's reply that she seemed to have known about this matter for some time, so her tone wasn't particularly surprised. She simply told Han Yi not to make a fuss and to focus on his training.

"In that case, it seems even more impossible to hand over that item..." Han Yi pondered to himself.

In fact, he had his own guesses about the important thing that Chen Jiuli mentioned that had alarmed Fang and the deputy sect leader.

Isn't it just that ledger?

In addition to a large amount of gold notes, he also received a ledger encrypted with special ciphertext from May Lo.

All the contents of this ledger are written using special symbols and punctuation, so outsiders have no idea what they mean.

Han Yi guessed that the contents might be transaction records detailing Luo Meiwei's multiple missions.

Otherwise, Fang and the deputy head of the manor wouldn't be in such a hurry. They're probably afraid of having their evidence discovered.

"Fortunately, I hid that ledger outside and didn't bring it back. Even if someone really came looking for it, they wouldn't find anything." Han Yi sighed inwardly at his good fortune.

After May Lo died, he searched her body and found the ledger. Fearing something might happen on his way back, he found a wooded area in the wild and hid it.

Since Luo Meiwei possesses such a special secret technique, this ledger, which hides important secrets, might also bear special tracking marks.

Looking back now, he's glad he was cautious back then. Otherwise, it's highly likely that it would be a high-ranking official like the head of the manor coming to his door now, instead of Chen Jiuli.

Fortunately, it was only Chen Jiuli who came. He was timid, fearful, and valued his life. In addition, he lacked practical experience and had low combat effectiveness.

He simply used a little trick beforehand, imitating Zhong Han's ability to slow down the burst of power, and applied a large amount of cold yin energy to Chen Jiuli in advance. Then, the "extreme yin" characteristic was released at the right time, and it was indeed a great success.

With Chen Jiuli's matter resolved, the pressure on him is temporarily relieved.

The rest...

Thinking of this, Han Yi remembered something else, quickly returned to his desk, and scribbled a long paragraph on a piece of paper.

He then opened the doors and windows, looked around to make sure no one was there, and quickly went to a window in the study. He took out a small white ocarina from his pocket, put it to his mouth, and blew hard.

A swift, clear sound, like a bird's song, reverberated outwards.

Han Yi stood by the window, waiting quietly.

Before long, a black homing pigeon with pink eyes shot in from a distance.

The pigeon fluttered its wings and gently landed on the windowsill of the study.

Han Yi took down two small white bowls from the shelf behind him. One bowl contained water, and the other contained special food.

"Eat up, eat up." He gently stroked the smooth feathers of the carrier pigeon.

While the carrier pigeon was drinking and eating, he rolled up the letter he had just written into a small piece and stuffed it into the paper tube tied to the pigeon's leg.
