An hour later, the courtyard was filled with the men of the Divine Arrester Division.
Even in An Mountain City, there was a county office of the Great Wu Dynasty, just that their presence was very weak.
After ordering someone to report the situation, Yan Wushuang immediately rushed to the scene with her men.
"Why... are the people from the yamen always the last to arrive?"
Chung Shen-soo could not help but complain.
If not for his fighting ability, he might have been ambushed by this Five Poison cult disciple and ended up worse than Iron Cloak Wu.
Yan Wushuang was wearing the Divine Arrester Division's fish robe with a goose feather saber at her waist. She did not say anything and only carefully inspected the scene.
The Five Poison Sect disciple who had fainted was naturally tied up and dealt with appropriately.
According to the old yamen, these Five Poison cult disciples liked to hide poisonous substances and powders on their bodies. If one were to accidentally come into contact with them, they might have to cut off their limbs to save their lives.
"The Miao people respect the south. This posture is indeed what they like to do after killing someone."
Yan Wushuang evaluated as she looked at Iron Cloak Wu's corpse.
At this moment, a constable had returned with Iron Cloak Wu's skin mask and was comparing it to the corpse.
The two pitch-black eyeballs had died with everlasting regret.
Even Chung Shen-soo found it somewhat horrifying.
He then looked at the Five Poison cult disciple and noticed that his skin was yellow and had a square face with big ears. The shape of his face was very different from the triangular eyes of Iron Cloak Wu. He could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Just now... the fake Iron Cloak Wu I saw was so lifelike. How could the two faces be so different... No, I should say that the skin of a living person can be turned into a mask and used immediately?"
This was illogical! At least not biologically!
Chung Shen-soo added in his heart.
"This is the Five Poison Sect's secret disguise technique. It can peel off a person's skin and immediately replace the person's face, making it difficult to distinguish between a ghost and a god …" Yan Wu Shuang was not surprised at all. "Not only that, the real disguise experts in the martial world can disguise a living person as a dog!"
"I still think it's amazing."
Chung Shen-soo stepped forward and carefully examined the Five Poison cult disciple.
He was very sure that the other party did not use flesh magic or anything of the sort. They simply covered their faces with a layer of human skin, and that was how they managed to fool him.
Now that he looked at it again, he felt that it was unsightly. There was even blood dripping from the human skin on his face.
Chung Shen-soo tried to recall what had just happened, but the face of the fake Wu Tieyi in his memory had become very blurry.
"This …"
'It doesn't seem like the other party's disguise technique is brilliant, but the blind spot in my heart has been struck?'
"He fooled everyone with his bloody face!"
'That's strange … Is it a spell-like spell? I don't think so. Furthermore... perhaps it has something to do with the other party's insistence on putting Iron Cloak Wu in such a position...
This feeling made him very uncomfortable because he had been made a fool of.
It was like a person wearing a dog mask, and everyone would treat him as a dog. No matter how many flaws he revealed, they would turn a blind eye to it.
This was something that could not even be seen with his eyes when he circulated his inner force.
Chung Shen-soo had a feeling that the other party had used some sort of special ritual to fool his senses just now.
"This Five Poison Sect is too strange."
He muttered to himself, feeling a little scared.
"This human skin mask?" Chung Shen-soo asked, pointing at Iron Cloak Wu's face.
He felt a little regretful. If he still had the power of the Herder, he might have been able to see a wailing soul on the face.
"This is evidence. Of course, it has to be turned in," Yan Wushuang replied in a business-like manner.
"We'll be taking him away. The Condor Sect thanks you for your cooperation."
"My martial arts …"
Chung Shen-soo hurriedly asked the most important question.
"This time, we only captured a disciple. We still have to interrogate him. If we can get more information about the settlement, it will be a great contribution," Yan Wushuang replied in a deep voice.
She then tossed a scroll over. "This is the Liver Wood Chapter of the Five Elements Bandit Palm. If you participate in the next operation and earn more contributions, you might be able to exchange it for more."
…
"Liuyi, you must hold on!"
After the people from the Condor Sect left, Wei Baishu came over and said with lingering fear, "This time it was Iron Cloak Wu. Next time, it might be us. This Five Poison Sect is too strange, too scary … Although the Five Elements Bandit Palm is good, it's not worth risking your life for it!"
"I understand."
Chung Shen-soo held the scroll in his hand, deep in thought.
Of course, he understood the Condor Sect's intention. The Five Elements Bandit Palm was separated and given to him one by one. It was like a carrot in front of a donkey. It was the most tempting if he could see it but not eat it.
"The first four chapters are fine, but when it comes to the last one, they will most likely reveal their true intentions. At the very least, I will have to agree to join them before they give me the whole chapter. But … I don't need the whole chapter!"
Chung Shen-soo thought to himself, "With each additional chapter, the Tenxiu Point required to deduce the complete cultivation method will decrease sharply … Wait until I get the fourth chapter, then I will immediately give up. The Condor Sect can only stare at me helplessly! "
This was like fishing. Previously, he had eaten bait without a hook, and the real hook must be hidden in the fifth chapter.
No martial artist could endure the torture of having four chapters but missing one and not being able to combine the five elements into one.
But he was different. As long as he had four chapters, he would be able to withstand the Tenxiu Point needed to deduce the next chapter.
Keeping this trump card, he would still be able to gain a lot of benefits in the deal with the Condor Sect.
Therefore, he had to cooperate with the Condor Sect at least once more. He had to get the fourth chapter, eat the bait, and return the hook.
He looked around and saw that Wei Hongyao and the other disciples were all afraid. They were not even willing to go near Iron Cloak Wu's house. It was obvious that they were traumatized. He was speechless.
Originally, he and Yan Wushuang had planned to go out of the city to lure the enemy and try to lure one or two disciples of the Five Poison Sect.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so skilled and daring that he would directly sneak into An Mountain City and brazenly kill people in the Yama Hall.
Chung Shen-soo was not afraid of himself, but the other people in the Yama Hall, no matter who encountered the fake Iron Cloak Wu, would die.
"Maybe … I should move out?"
"However, after getting a small fish today, there shouldn't be any disciples of the Five Poison Sect who would dare to come again, right? If they really had the guts, they would probably come straight to my door. My strength is superior, so it's more practical for me to escape … "
Thinking of this, Chung Shen-soo could not help but be more curious about what Gu Qingying had in his hands. How could it be so attractive to the Five Poison Sect?
That Black Widow was obviously chasing after him, and he was just an innocent bystander.
Even so, because there was a slight possibility, the Five Poison Sect could still send other people to test him.
"Maybe … I have underestimated the attraction of the Four Great Mystical Books and the Mystical Arts Ranking to the martial artists of this world …"
