Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

With things having come to this point, Mo Yuming had no time to hesitate. He immediately ordered Sun Min to send the Falcon Guards to investigate Zhang Sibo's current whereabouts. Then, he secretly summoned Master Long and Master Hu and asked them to use their combined special skill, 'Mental Overlay,' to check who else was in Zhang Sibo's room and monitoring his actions.

Lord Long and Lord Hu are the two oldest second-generation residents of Yishi Valley. They are brothers and have lived together in the valley for nearly two hundred years.

Over the past hundred years, they have become spiritually connected. After their cultivation reached the Heavenly Rank, the two developed a unique 'spiritual superposition' technique.

When the two of them stand facing each other a hundred feet apart and simultaneously use the 'Mental Superposition' technique, their mental power increases exponentially. Nothing within a hundred feet of them can escape their senses, meaning they can detect everything within a three-hundred-foot radius.

Especially in the area where their spirits overlap, their spiritual power is extremely strong. Within this range, they can use their spiritual power to duel with Heavenly Realm experts who are two levels above them in cultivation.

It can also block out certain things, making people in the room unaware of its presence, and even causing them to hallucinate.

This kind of spiritual combination technique has extremely high requirements for practitioners. They must have similar cultivation levels, similar minds, and pure hearts, without any selfish thoughts. The two people must unconditionally trust each other.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to successfully cultivate.

Dragon and Tiger grew up together in a secluded canyon, never experiencing the deceit and treachery of the world.

Their minds were as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so there were almost no obstacles for them in practicing combined techniques.

Last time, the group led by Eunuch Pao was defeated by the combined 'spiritual superposition' technique of the two.

Originally, both of them were at the peak of the third level of the Heavenly Rank. Although they rarely participated in such battles, they could fight against experts at the sixth level of the Heavenly Rank in their 'spiritual superposition' zone.

After receiving orders from Mo Yuming, Lord Dragon and Lord Tiger quietly arrived at Zhang Sibo's residence.

Zhang Sibo originally lived in a military camp fortress, which was his temporary residence when he led his troops to participate in this city-wide siege.

A three-story detached courtyard served as a temporary command post for military officers.

The first floor was used as offices, and the second floor was where Zhang Sibo's subordinates and officials rested.

As a high-ranking official, Zhang Sibo's lounge was on the top floor of the building. The entire top floor was his private space, and no staff member downstairs was allowed to enter the third floor without permission.

At this moment, in the most secluded room on the roof of the building, Zhang Sibo was comfortably reclining in a chair, chatting happily with a man in black sitting in the corner.

The man in black occasionally let out a sinister laugh. He never imagined that in such a private space, his every move would be clearly sensed by someone a hundred feet away.

Mo Yuming and the others had confirmed their previous guesses through Lord Long and Lord Hu, so they followed the plan and ordered Lord Long and Lord Hu to use the 'Mental Overlay' technique to cover up the whereabouts of Qi Mei and Qing Wei, and quietly sneak into the secret room to prepare for the capture.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuming and Sun Min, along with four of the most skilled Falcon Guards, quietly infiltrated the small building. The other fifty Falcon Guards secretly monitored the entire courtyard.

After all preparations were complete, Lord Dragon and Lord Tiger suddenly launched a mental attack on the man in black sitting in the corner.

The man in black, who was just about to raise his cup to drink tea, suddenly felt as if he had been frozen in place. His hand, which was holding the cup, stopped in mid-air and he couldn't move. His head buzzed, and he felt a little dizzy.

However, a moment later he realized he had been attacked, and his whole body jolted violently as if by reflex, and he immediately came to his senses.

He hurriedly got up to try to resist, but it was too late. Although he had only been controlled for a short while, his fate was already sealed.

Just as he awoke with a start, two figures flashed past him like lightning. He tried to raise his hands to retaliate, but found that he had lost all feeling in his hands.

Then a piercing pain shot through his shoulders. He then realized that his hands had been chopped off.

At this moment, the man in black felt his head spin again. At the same time, the two figures that had passed each other turned back. One was behind him, and a palm struck his spine. The other was in front, and a hand was placed on his dantian.

Instantly, his dantian and spine shattered, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

The entire process, from beginning to end, took only a moment. The twenty elderly men and women who grew up in the canyon might not be as experienced in combat or as skilled in martial arts as outsiders, but their teamwork was unmatched.

Before Zhang Sibo could even react, the man in black in front of him had already fallen to the ground.

When he suddenly awoke and tried to react, four crossbow bolts had already pierced his body simultaneously, pinning his limbs to the chair.

"General Zhang, do you need an explanation?"

Mo Yuming emerged from the shadows, followed by Sun Min, the captain of the Falcon Guard, who aimed a crossbow at him.

The ore with the properties in the arrowhead began to work. At this moment, Zhang Sibo felt as if his limbs were being roasted on flames, and at the same time, his flesh and bones felt as if countless ants were gnawing at them.

Zhang Sibo couldn't help but shout:

"My lord, please forgive me! I was wrong! I'm sorry, I was wrong!... Ah! I, I'll tell you everything..."

Mo Yuming nodded to Sun Min, who immediately summoned several Falcon Guards standing around to pull out the crossbow bolts from Zhang Sibo's body, then sealed all his acupoints and tied him up.

Qi Mei and Qing Wei also lifted the man in black, who looked like a lump of rotten flesh, off the ground.

They stopped the bleeding from his shoulders and threw him next to Zhang Sibo.

At this point, the man in black was a cripple whose dantian had been destroyed, whose meridians were severed, and whose arms had been cut off, making it difficult for him to even commit suicide.

Mo Yuming sat upright opposite Zhang Sibo, a chair bearing his solemn expression.

"He is Wu Ji's internal affairs elder, and also my fellow townsman."

I was coerced and tempted into doing this wrong thing.

He knew I still had relatives in my hometown, and he used that to blackmail me.

He declared that his lord had colluded with sinners, a crime unforgivable, and that the Feathered Palace would execute all soldiers who followed him and exterminate their entire families.

After the crossbow bolt was pulled out, Zhang Sibo's pain subsided slightly, and he explained in a trembling voice.

"How dare you disregard the greater good and the lives of millions of people in the Great Xia Dynasty, colluding with them to frame us? Zhang Sibo, where have you seen me colluding with the criminals?"

Mo Yuming questioned angrily.

Only Huang Xiaoxiao and a few Falcon Guards knew about Mo Yuming's rescue of Pu Yazhu; even Su Yangyan and the others were kept in the dark.

He said that although the attempt by Eunuch Pao and his group to frame the Lord by using the remnants of the sinful clan failed, the whereabouts of those remnants of the sinful clan were unknown, which must be related to the Lord. He had placed spirit stones at many intersections, so that any sinful clan members who passed by would leave evidence.

At that time, all he needs to do is collect the Spirit Shadow Stones, which will be irrefutable proof that his master colluded with the Sin Clan. Even if the remnants of the Sin Clan do not appear, it will not matter, as he still has five Sin Clan members imprisoned in Zhongyuan City, who will be sent to Shangyuan City from time to time through special channels.

"Then a play will be staged, and the evidence of the Lord's collusion with the sinful will be solidified."

Zhang Sibo's face turned ashen, and he continued speaking, trembling all over.

"So you willingly became his lackey and conspired with him to frame us?"

Mo Yuming was furious.
