Chapter 173: Chapter 32 Feng Yizhou
This Feng Yizhou is simply an extremely vicious devil, I’m afraid the number of people who have died by his hand has already surpassed a thousand.
After reading the entire content, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “With such heinous crimes, isn’t the Han Yuan Royal Family doing anything about his wanton acts?”
“Of course not!”
Fu Yingying had her hands behind her back, chest pushed forward, her face revealing a charming smile: “But every action of the other side either lacks someone to blame, or is unrelated to him… Without solid evidence, even the Han Yuan Royal Family is powerless to take action, and the most crucial point is…”
She deliberately paused here, a pair of beautiful eyes looking over.
“The most crucial what?” Not minding her expression, Zhang Xuan asked.
Fu Yingying was curious: “Are you really unaware, or are you just joking with me here?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head: “Unaware of what?”
“You’re competing with Elder Feng Zhaoting for the position of vice dean, I don’t believe you haven’t done any research on him at all. Feng Yizhou is his own younger brother!”
Fu Yingying rolled her eyes.
“Elder Feng’s brother?” Zhang Xuan was stunned.
No wonder.
With a scapegoat, no evidence, plus his own power and the strong backing behind him, who would dare to really trouble him?
Even the Han Yuan Royal Family would surely weigh the consequences.
Picking up the second sheet of paper, Zhang Xuan took a look.
“Li Yue’an, ranked 41st on the Hunting List, a cultivator in the Ninefold Source Pool Detachment Realm, a wandering Fate Master, practicing ‘Betrayal Destiny’. In the year 580 of Han Yuan, he was gravely injured and saved by the influential Zeng Yousheng of Han Yuan City, who married off his daughter to him. The following year, he betrayed Zeng Yousheng, switching allegiance to his political rival, leading to the latter’s family being executed to the last man.”
“In the year 587 of Han Yuan, while on a trial with companions, he leaked their whereabouts to a Primordial Beast, causing seven deaths and one injury; two perished inside the beast’s belly…”
“In the year 588 of Han Yuan, he betrayed his cultivation method teacher and schemed to bury him alive…”
…
Zhang Xuan’s scalp exploded once again.
Betrayal Destiny… there’s such a thing? It seems the types of fragments of the heavens are even more than one could imagine!
This kind of fragments of the heavens, if it was the Lu Bu from a previous life who practiced it, wouldn’t he advance by leaps and bounds? No, what Lu Bu should practice is “Foster-father’s fragments of the heavens”, as long as he recognizes a foster father, his cultivation will grow stronger and stronger…
“This kind of fragments of the heavens, the more you betray and the more pain caused to those betrayed, the greater the progress…”
Fu Yingying explained.
Zhang Xuan felt solemn.
He didn’t need her to say it, he had already figured it out; otherwise, this fellow named Li Yue’an wouldn’t be betraying others all the time.
No wonder previously Yu Longqing and others said that those who have practiced fragments of the heavens should not tell anyone else. If someone knew this guy’s fragments of the heavens in advance, they wouldn’t save him even if they saw him dying right in front of them.
Feeling emotional inside, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help asking, “Could it be that this fellow has some kind of background too?”
“He probably doesn’t have one, but this guy is very cunning and extremely hard to catch. He has disappeared without a trace for a full seven years now. The Han Yuan Dynasty royals, the Heaven Mandate Hall, have all sent people to look for him, but to no avail. It’s as if he has vanished from Han Yuan City…”
Fu Yingying said.
Zhang Xuan nodded and didn’t ask any further.
After going through the third person’s information.
This one was simple, a rapist with a cultivation that reached the Travel Realm.
The so-called Picking Flowers is also strange; it’s by using the soul to rape in dreams. This kind of rape doesn’t leave any trace on the body. Even if one tries to convict, it will only be taken as a dream with no way to prove it.
“They really know how to play…” Zhang Xuan shook his head.
To rape in a dream would allow indulgence with one’s favorite goddess without any responsibility, indeed a good tactic.
“Wait, just dream raping, compared to the previous two, it seems a lot less severe. Why is the reward so high?”
Recalling the numbers on the Hunting List, Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
This rapist, though not as strong as Ling Buyang, has a bounty much higher than his. Ranked 14th with a vast sum of 50 million!
The previous two, who killed who knows how many people, only had bounties of one or two million, but this fellow who ravages in dreams surpassed them by far…
It all seemed to be unreasonable no matter how he looked at it.
Fu Yingying snorted: “This guy, after raping in dreams, when all the women woke up, they could remember everything, including details. Except their bodies weren’t violated, the trauma inflicted on their psyche is very real… A lot of people want him dead, naturally raising the bounty. But every time he invades a dream, he changes his appearance; no one knows who he really is… Therefore, despite being on the bounty list for many years, he has never been found!”
Zhang Xuan understood.
Although he didn’t physically hurt these women, causing psychological trauma was equally unforgivable, and it made sense for the bounty on his head to be high.
“You’re so angry, have you suffered at his hands?” Zhang Xuan asked curiously.
“Of course not… he tried to, but I drove him away!” Fu Yingying shook her head.
Zhang Xuan believed her.
Fu Yingying’s cultivation, although only at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm and still far from the Dharma Form Realm, was not to be underestimated as the Black Market Master. With numerous artifacts at her disposal, even someone from the Detachment Realm who came after her might not gain any advantage.
“Do you need any other items, Elder Ling? I can provide them for you…”
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Fu Yingying said.
“No need, I’ve gotten everything I wanted!” Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
Coming to the black market with two objectives, to obtain the cultivation method and the Destiny Plate, not only had he achieved both, but he had also found a way to earn money and make the Hunting List, making the trip worthwhile.
“Then I shall help Elder Ling to prepare for the duel in advance… The Han Yuan Royal Family happens to have a War Fanatic Your Highness whose strength is comparable to yours and is always looking to spar. If Elder Ling agrees, I will set it up!” Fu Yingying said.
“Good!” Zhang Xuan nodded.
Fu Yingying calculated for a moment, then said, “Then, in three days, please come again, Elder Ling. The timing for the duel is preliminarily set for then. Before that, I’ll make sure to promote it well, so everyone can make a hefty profit…”
After agreeing, Zhang Xuan turned and left, found the tea master, and slowly sailed away on a small boat.
This trip to the black market had emptied his pockets, but the rewards were substantial.
Watching him leave, Fu Yingying’s once-smiling face became serious again.
“Miss, is there something off about this Ling Buyang?” Right then, a maidservant-like woman stepped forward.
Fu Yingying shook her head, “Not just off; I suspect that he’s not Ling Buyang at all, but someone else in disguise!”
“Why do you say that?” the maidservant asked, puzzled.
“Ling Buyang, every time he sees me, acts like he’s never seen a woman before, all kinds of frivolous. There was a time when I wondered if he was the realm-Entering rapist! But this man, he ignores me completely, even my Charming Skill has no effect on him… And he knows nothing about many things. Most importantly, this guy is cowardly and greatly cherishes his life, but he agreed to the duel without any hesitation!” Fu Yingying explained.
The maidservant asked curiously, “Could it really be a disguise?”
“It’s possible! But whether it is or not, we’ll find out next time. The real Ling Buyang couldn’t possibly be a match for that War Fanatic Your Highness… and the Mo Dao Destiny cannot be mimicked just by wanting to. Once it’s used, we can confirm his identity.”
The maidservant nodded, “Miss is clever indeed!”
…
Leaving the black market, Zhang Xuan’s eyes were covered again, and he sat on a boat slowly moving forward.
Two hours later, he returned to the teahouse, located the grazing Dao Li, and slowly headed into the city.
“Xu Xin’s memories regarding Ling Buyang are too few, and I need to figure out what Mo Dao Destiny is all about. Otherwise, if I can’t use it, I’ll easily give myself away!”
Zhang Xuan pondered.
Although his conversation with Fu Yingying that day was brief, he was sure she had begun to suspect something. However, if he could demonstrate Mo Blade Martial Skill in three days, such suspicions would be dispelled instantly.
But… what exactly was this so-called Mo Dao Destiny? He needed to figure it out first!
“I killed those guys too quickly… otherwise, extracting their memories would have given me some clues.”
He had killed the ones like Lian Huo who had ambushed Yu Fei in a fit of rage; if he had only taken one of their memories, he would have learned a lot.
“Since I’ve confirmed that the Unnecessary Hall has a Mo Dao legacy, why not just find their headquarters and learn from them?”
An idea occurred to him.
Since he currently had no cultivation type to practice, he might as well find the Unnecessary Hall and understand what this Destiny was all about. If there were books, with the help of the Library of Heaven’s Path, he might still be able to practice.
If he could master it, even if he really faced a formidable opponent in battle, he wouldn’t necessarily expose himself.
“Time to ask around!”
With this in mind, Zhang Xuan looked around and soon his eyes fell on a towering structure not far away.
A spacious gateway teemed with comings and goings, with cultivators everywhere, and four shining characters — Fuyuan Trading Company.
“Just saw information about Boss Feng Yizhou, didn’t expect to come across it so soon; might as well check it out!”
Jumping off his horse, Zhang Xuan strode toward it.
