Ch 37: Huang Fei Arrives
【Sin Points +54】
Although the center of the explosion was still filled with smoke, Jiang Chen, having heard the notification sound, immediately went forward to check the situation.
Yue Changqing’s body, under the terrifying power of the explosive bead, had been blown to pieces, a b*oody mess, completely unrecognizable.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood and burnt flesh, making one want to vomit.
Jiang Chen stood not far away, witnessing this tragic scene, and couldn’t help but feel a burst of tension in his heart.
What he was worried about was whether that precious Life and Death Token had also been destroyed in the explosion.
After all, that was the ultimate goal of his operation this time.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and began searching through the fragmented corpse on the ground.
He carefully turned over every b*oody fragment, hoping to find a trace of the Life and Death Token. However, after searching, he didn’t find the Heaven-Shocking Bow and the Life and Death Token, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Just then, his gaze fell on one of Yue Changqing’s fingers.
Although that finger had also been blown into a b*oody mess, it had a ring on it.
This ring looked very ordinary, but Jiang Chen keenly noticed that it seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power.
“Could it be that he put everything into this storage ring?”
Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but have such a guess.
He carefully took the ring off Yue Changqing’s finger and then carefully examined it.
He saw that the surface of the ring was engraved with some complex patterns, emitting a faint fluorescent light.
Jiang Chen put it on his own hand and tried to sense it.
Sure enough, he felt a mysterious force gushing out from the ring, creating some kind of wonderful connection with his soul.
Soon, as Jiang Chen continuously poured True Qi into the storage ring, this magical ring seemed to be activated, and began to bloom with dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, the space inside the ring seemed to have a gap opened, and items were taken out by Jiang Chen like flowing water.
When he saw the Life and Death Token and the Heaven-Shocking Bow, Jiang Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a hint of undisguised joy.
He tightly grasped the Life and Death Token, feeling the mysterious power flowing on it, and his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
And the Heaven-Shocking Bow was gently placed on his shoulder, the bow emitting a faint fluorescent light, as if it could release earth-shattering power at any time.
“It’s really heaven helping me!”
Jiang Chen muttered to himself, his face filled with the smile of a victor.
However, just then, his gaze was attracted by the debris on the ground again.
He squatted down and carefully rummaged through it, hoping to find more valuable things.
Sure enough, in the pile of debris, he found a map made of unknown leather material.
This map looked a bit old, the edges had yellowed, and it was covered with traces of time.
What was even more surprising was that the map seemed to have been cut in the middle, and Jiang Chen was holding only one piece of it.
Despite this, he could still vaguely see that the map depicted some complex terrain and markings.
“Could this be the legendary treasure map?”
Jiang Chen chuckled and didn’t pay attention to it, because compared to it, a large pile of silver notes next to it was obviously more tempting.
Jiang Chen roughly counted them, and there were actually as many as three hundred thousand taels.
“Where did Yue Changqing get so many silver notes? Never mind, they’re all mine now anyway.”
After putting these things into the storage ring again, Jiang Chen quickly left here, not even bothering to deal with the corpse.
Anyway, the wild dogs and wolves on the roadside would soon clean up the traces here.
About half an hour after he left, the sky had gradually darkened, and the surroundings were shrouded in a faint layer of twilight.
A small bird, golden all over with bright feathers, flew from nowhere and suddenly appeared in the sky above Yue Changqing’s tattered corpse.
It circled a few times, seeming very curious about the scene in front of it, but also with a hint of vigilance.
And then, a short, ugly-faced middle-aged man also rushed to this place.
He was wearing a worn gray robe, his face was covered with wrinkles and scars, and he looked quite frightening.
His eyes revealed a kind of sinister look, as if it would erupt at any time.
At this time, several wild dogs were surrounding Yue Changqing’s corpse, greedily gnawing at the b*oody pieces of meat.
They seemed to have completely immersed themselves in this sudden feast, and were completely unaware of the changes around them.
However, when they saw the ugly middle-aged man arrive, they suddenly stopped gnawing and began to bark in a low voice.
The barking was full of hostility, as if to tell this stranger not to snatch the food from their mouths.
The middle-aged man was furious, and with a fierce wave of his hand, a black True Qi shot out from his palm, instantly enveloping these wild dogs.
With screams of misery, the bodies of those wild dogs began to twist and convulse, eventually turning into pools of black liquid and dissipating into the air.
“D*mn it! Who exactly killed my disciple? I, Huang Fei, will definitely rape and kill your whole family!”
This person was none other than the Flower-Picking Bee Huang Fei. After venting his anger, he began to carefully search the ground, as if looking for something.
He even cut open the stomachs of those wild dogs.
“The storage ring should have been taken away. This person is actually using gunpowder. Could he be from the Divine Mechanism Sect?”
After thinking for a moment, Huang Fei snorted coldly: “No matter who it is, daring to touch my disciple Huang Fei, then you will pay the price!”
Saying that, he took out something and let the little bird smell it. The bird immediately led Huang Fei to fly in the direction of the Capital City.
……
“Lord Meng! I plan to set off tomorrow for Jiaozhou.”
In the Eastern Pacification Bureau, Jiang Chen came to bid farewell to Meng Wangjin.
Meng Wangjin nodded: “Jiaozhou is dangerous, you still need to be more careful.”
Saying that, he took out a book from his storage ring and handed it to Jiang Chen standing in front of him.
“This is the distribution of power, the list of experts, the scale of industries, and the contact information of our Jinyiwei secret agents in the one hundred and twenty-three counties of the eight prefectures of Jiaozhou. You should be able to use these things on this trip.”
After Jiang Chen took it, Meng Wangjin said again: “Also, don’t forget to choose a Flood Dragon Colt.”
“Thank you, Lord!”
After exchanging some pleasantries, Jiang Chen strode out of the Eastern Pacification Bureau.
After his figure completely disappeared on the side of the street, on a pavilion not far away.
Huang Fei stared at his back, his eyes full of hatred.
“So it’s someone from the Pacification Bureau. This son of a b*tch, as a Jinyiwei, actually kills people for treasure, truly shameless!”
“Master! What should we do?”
Zhou Ruiwen, next to Huang Fei, asked in a low voice: “Should we go and get rid of him tonight…”
Saying that, he made a neck-cutting gesture.
“No, someone who can kill your Senior Martial Brother must be very skilled. We’ll check his information first, and then act after we figure out his background.”
“Yes!”
