Chapter 182: Suspicion

In the Demon Slaying Department, busy figures were everywhere.

A man and a woman navigated through the crowd; they were Si Zheng and Cang Feilan.

It’s worth mentioning that Si Zheng’s position as the bureau chief was temporarily retained.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Because in the current Southern Region of The Great Qian Dynasty, for some unknown reason, demons and ghosts were causing chaos everywhere. Powerful combat forces were engaged in battles all around, leaving no one with the leisure to take over the position of the bureau chief in Jinyang City.

It was also considering this situation that Zhou Kai had not returned to Qiyuan City for a long time. Instead, he stayed in Jinyang City, guiding Si Zheng on how to manage the Demon Slaying Department.

As a result, Si Zheng had not visited the brothels for over half a month, and he seemed to lack some energy.

After all, tender and charming young ladies were his spiritual sustenance for lonely nights.

“I wonder when Lord Zhou will return to Qiyuan City.” Si Zheng sighed.

“Don’t you want him to stay here?” Cang Feilan asked.

Of course not. I’ve almost forgotten how to get to the brothels. Si Zheng looked bitter, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he said, “Lord Zhou asked me to find this kid. You don’t need to follow.”

Cang Feilan replied indifferently, “I have nothing else to do anyway.”

“Even so, I think you want to see that kid, right?” Si Zheng saw through her intentions.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” A trace of panic flashed in Cang Feilan’s eyes, but her tone was still cold.

“Little Cang, your personality is not straightforward, and men don’t like that. You should learn from those brothel girls and they show it openly if they like my money. If you continue like this...”

Before he could finish his sentence, a dagger shimmering with silver light was already at his neck, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

“If you can’t speak properly, you can learn it again.” Cang Feilan slowly put away the dagger and added, “in your next life.”

Si Zheng rubbed his neck, raised an eyebrow, and glanced at the jade token at her waist.

The three-star wooden token had turned into a one-star Green jade token.

He shook his head and sighed, “Really not straightforward.”

Greeting colleagues from the Demon Slaying Department along the way, the two quickly arrived outside the room where Qin Feng was resting.

Si Zheng stepped in, about to speak, but suddenly widened his eyes, looking bewildered.

He quickly turned around, blocking Cang Feilan beside him, and whispered, “The kid is not in this room. Let’s look elsewhere.”

Liu Jianli followed suit. When passing by Cang Feilan, the latter’s nose twitched slightly under the black cloth.

In those cyan eyes, a trace of complex emotion flashed.

It wasn’t until Liu Jianli left the room that a soft whisper came from under the cloth.

“Straightforward, isn’t it?”

The group soon arrived at Lord Zhou’s residence.

Upon entering, Qin Feng saw the black-robed man leaning against the corner post.

Beside him was a nearly human-sized black coffin.

On the surface of the coffin were strange patterns, and around it, there was almost substantial, eerie Yin Qi.

“That Yin Qi is a technique of the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. It should be Lord Zhou’s doing.”

The Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage excelled in using Yin Qi. Besides controlling others with it, they could also use Yin Qi for sealing techniques.

Back when they traveled to Qiyuan City, Yang He set up a sealing formation on the way.

However, his abilities were limited, and he had to rely on external objects for the setup.

“You’ve arrived.” Lord Zhou raised his head and greeted him, but his tone was a bit heavy.

Then his eyes widened, focusing on Liu Jianli. It wasn’t her appearance that captivated him but the powerful aura emanating from the woman in white, making even a Thirty-Six Star feel a bit uneasy.

If they were to engage in a full-fledged battle, he might not be confident of winning.

Calming the shock in his heart, he withdrew his gaze, looking at Qin Feng, said “You’ve been busy for a long time. You should take a break.

However, the current matter cannot be delayed, so I have to find you to rescue that man..”

Qin Feng nodded and looked at the unconscious man in the black robe, curiously asking, “What happened to him?”

Chief Zhou shook his head, “When he came here looking for me, his consciousness was already very vague. He kept repeating incoherently, ‘seal the black coffin, don’t let the breath leak.’

But when I tried to ask more questions, he fell into a coma. And, if my guess is correct, the strange gray snow in Jinyang City is brought by him.”

Qin Feng’s face became solemn when he heard this, “I see.”

It seems that to understand the origin of this snow-like ash, it is necessary to first wake up this man in the black robe.

With this thought, he walked to the man, lifted the hat, and revealed a chubby round face.
