Heavenly Dao Formula

"This effect...is too scary." Wei Wushuang covered his nose and looked away, a little afraid to look at the corpse on the ground.

"But they are enemies..." Luo You'er was also feeling very uncomfortable, and she looked like she was about to vomit, but she still insisted on following everyone behind, "The innocent people who died at the hands of these Donghai gangsters can't be counted as a small number."

"That's exactly the reason." Ning Wanjun looked refreshed, feeling completely unaffected by the enemy's plight, "Think about those people in the caves in Gaoshan County, if you fall into their hands, I'm afraid the end will be even worse."

Because Xia Fan had anticipated the scene below, Xia Fan was undoubtedly much calmer than when he saw the murder scene for the first time. He knew in his heart that even though foreshadowing and detonation were alchemy techniques, their actual effect was no different from that of a hot weapon. Compared with the era of cold weapons, the most notable feature of the era of firearms is that the killing efficiency has increased many times. In a sword fight, it may take a whole night to cause similar casualties, but in an explosion, it only takes the blink of an eye to suffice.

The fox demon passed the crowd and walked towards a small room at the end of the hall.

"Li?" Xia Fan turned and followed.

"That person was in this room before." She whispered.

"An' family?"

Seeing Li nodded, Xia Fan held his sword in his hand, and walked into the house with her - the inside was also smoky, and there was a lot of white ash on the ground. It is probably because there were many books and papers placed here, but they are all burned to ashes now.

It didn't take much effort, and the two found the "An family" in Li's mouth behind a broken door panel.

He seemed to be standing right behind the door when it exploded, and the shock wave of the explosion sent the door flying out with him. The result was that his body was well preserved, but his spine was broken in two by the violent impact.

Xia Fan let out a long breath.

After all, the opponent is the most difficult enemy in intelligence.

No matter how strange methods he possesses and what kind of evil spirits he can drive, there is nothing he can do now.

"What is that?" Li was suddenly attracted by a few talismans under him.

Xia Fan squatted down, pushed away the already stiff body of the opponent, and pulled out the talisman and pinched it on his fingertips—it was a kind of talisman that he had never seen before. Shiming, as if breathing.

"This is the Soul Gathering Talisman."

Ning Wanjun's voice came from behind.

"Soul Gathering... Talisman?" Xia Fan repeated.

"I also heard it from acquaintances," Ning Wanjun spread her hands, "This kind of talisman has nothing to do with magic, it's more like a container. What it holds is the evil spirit."

"You mean—" he couldn't help being surprised.

"Well, if the conditions are right, it can inspire evil spirits." The princess's answer confirmed his guess, "But this thing is very rare, and it is generally qualified to apply to the Privy Council only when you have the guard level. This guy has more than one card in his hand. , is really a bit abnormal.”

"That's exactly what the An family is good at." Wu Yueyao also walked in, "I didn't expect him to even have the chance to fight back. This battle... Your Highness won beautifully."

"It has nothing to do with me, it's all thanks to Xia Fan." Ning Wanjun twirled the two short spears in his hand, all regretting, "It's a pity that the victory was too clean, and I couldn't even clean up the battlefield. "

Xia Fan took the other party's stuttering as a slip of the tongue, "These talismans...how should we deal with it?"

"You keep it." Ning Wanjun waved his hand generously, "Although it can't be exchanged for money, it is indeed a rare item. Don't you want to study alchemy, this is a rare research material."

"Your Highness, the guard said they found something, I hope you can take a look." Qiuyue suddenly reported at the door.

"Oh? What is it?" the princess turned her head and asked.

"Some...dried corpses." Qiuyue bit her lips, "stuck in the wall."

...

"This...was also done by the Donghai Gang?" Xia Fan couldn't help frowning as he looked at the scene in front of him.

In a corner of the lobby, the guards were picking up the broken stones on the wall. In the part that has been exposed, everyone saw a dozen mummified corpses. What's even more incredible is that these corpses were obviously not stuffed in casually. They were similar in size and had a sallow surface, as if they had been soaked in tung oil.

"Do you know what they mean by doing this?" Ning Wanjun looked at Wu Yueyao.

The latter shook his head, "No, I don't know..."

"There seems to be something on the corpse." Li pointed to one of them.

Under the gesture of the princess, someone quickly pulled it out from the crevice of the stone.

When it lay flat on the ground, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The body of the corpse was actually engraved with runes.

This is a bit too evil.

Ning Wanjun was silent for a long time before she said to Xia Fan, "I have to admit, your guess is right. The An family's presence here is not just for private salt. Although we still don't know what Dongsheng Kingdom wants to do , but at least their calculations have failed."

Then she gave an order to the guards, "Search this underground passage thoroughly, and drag all the corpses found outside to be burned. No one will be missed or lost!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards responded in unison.

...

Jinxia City, inside the Wang Family Mansion.

"You, what are you talking about!?" Wang Yi'an shook his hands, and the cup fell to the ground with a bang. "This matter—have you confirmed it?"

"Master, it's absolutely true." Master Lu replied tremblingly, "Last night, there was a sudden drought and thunder in the south of the city, and then there was a constant roar. In the morning, there was news that Zhengshou Street and Wangfu Street were closed. Blocked. There is also a team of servants who don’t know where they came from and entered the Hongmu Building, saying they want to arrest the members of the East China Sea Gang hidden inside. I hurriedly sent people there to check the situation, but even the other courtyards in the outer city were surrounded by people Already!"

Wang Yi'an sat back on the chair, "The person you sent out—are you sure there are alchemists among the besiegers?"

Master Lu's expression became even uglier, "Yes, more than that, he also saw the commanding officer himself."

Wang Yian's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Xia Fan!

Is this his revenge for the previous attack?

Could it be that this transaction will end with nothing left?

He clenched his fists bitterly.

Damn foreigner, didn't it mean that the strength of those cultivators is not afraid of a local Privy Council? How did Xia Fan catch him?

"Master..." However, Master Lu's bad news did not end, "I heard one more thing..."

Wang Yian gritted his teeth and stared at him, "Say it!"

"Some people are spreading rumors at the scene, and Princess Quang Binh's people are also involved!"

He froze suddenly, and there was a bang in his mind!

your Highness? Why would she get involved in this kind of thing? The East China Sea gang failed to attack Xia Fan, and Xia Fan's retaliatory action is still reasonable, but what about the princess? What does this have to do with her! ?

In an instant, a terrifying thought leaped into Wang Yi'an's mind.

The other party...couldn't have discovered the problem in the saltworks, right?

No—it's impossible. The peripheral members of the Donghai Gang don't know about it at all, and the core members are all from Dongsheng Kingdom. Naturally, they know how important this matter is, so how could it be easily revealed!

However, the more you worry about something, the faster the bad things will happen. A servant ran into the study out of breath and bowed to Wang Yi'an.

"Master, Princess Guangping sent a letter, inviting you to Fengyang Villa for a banquet!"
