As the current head of the Shen family, Old Mrs. Shen was naturally familiar with all kinds of martial arts, Taoist techniques, astronomy, and geography.
Rumor had it that the physical strength of a Void Refinement expert exceeded that of an ordinary person. They were invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire, and had the power to overturn rivers and seas. If one were to observe them with their psionic vision, it would be as if a brilliant sun had leaped out from within. Even just looking at them would cause one to feel a burning sensation.
Although Old Mrs. Shen had never seen a Void Refinement expert before, the black-robed man who had appeared in front of her had merely extended a hand, and the light she saw in her psionic vision was like the sun shining on the earth. Even her skin felt like it was burning.
This was exactly the same as the Void Refinement experts described in the ancient books. This man's physical strength had reached an unimaginable level.
This man … Has he reached the Void Refinement realm? But other than Chong Xuzi of the Heavenly Dao Palace, Master Zhenyi of the Longevity Devil Palace, and State Preceptor Ji Xing of the Da Qi State, I have never heard of any other Void Refinement experts.
Could it be that an expert from the Sword Tower has appeared again?
Zuo Zhicheng's current state had, of course, not truly reached the Void Refinement realm. However, his physical strength had been strengthened and transformed time and time again. Especially with the support of the Dragon of Calamity, it was already unimaginably strong. Old Mrs. Shen had never seen a real Void Refinement expert, so it was natural for her to have this misunderstanding.
Just as her expression changed and she was thinking about the situation in front of her, she suddenly felt her vision blur. Zuo Zhicheng, who was shrouded in his black robe, had disappeared.
A pair of pale hands had pressed down on Old Mrs. Shen's shoulders. A bone-chilling coldness invaded her organs. The murderous aura was like a blade, constantly rubbing up and down her neck.
Cold sweat dripped down Old Mrs. Shen's forehead. She swallowed hard and opened her mouth to speak, but she realized that she could not utter a single word.
What a heavy pressure … This pressure is so heavy that it's difficult to breathe … Who exactly is this guy?
Just as Old Mrs. Shen's body was trembling uncontrollably, a commotion could be heard from outside the hall. More than ten men dressed in martial arts attire rushed in when they heard the sound of the chair breaking. When they saw Zuo Zhicheng pressing one hand on Old Mrs. Shen's shoulder, they immediately shouted and rushed forward.
"Where did this fellow come from? How dare he cause trouble in the Shen Clan!"
"How dare you! Let go of your filthy hands!"
However, just as they took a few steps, a layer of frost formed on the surface of their bodies. Their eyes were filled with horror, but they could only watch as their bodies gradually froze and turned into ice sculptures.
Even though it was noon on a hot day, Old Lady Shen could only feel a chill in her heart. The maids around her were all well-trained. Although their eyes were filled with fear, they covered their mouths tightly, afraid that they would be killed if they made any noise.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Shen's teeth were chattering uncontrollably, Zuo Zhicheng raised his index finger and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm just trying to calm them down. They're not dead."
Then, he patted Old Mrs. Shen's shoulder and continued, "I heard from Shen Anan that you have your own intelligence network in the southwest and even the entire Central Plains. Can you do me a favor?"
Old Mrs. Shen took a deep breath and said, "Please speak your mind. We will definitely do what we can."
"Shenzong, find me all the information related to him in the past year." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "As for the rest, I want a detailed record of all the major events in the underworld and the imperial court in the past three months."
"Understood." Old Mrs. Shen was shocked. This name was very popular in the underworld. She nodded and said, "We will deliver it to you within seven days." After saying this, she felt her body lighten. The man in the black robe behind her had sat back down on the chair without her noticing.
The man's hand had already reached back. Under the black robe, not even a trace of skin could be seen, let alone his face. Old Mrs. Shen no longer dared to belittle him. She spoke in the most respectful tone she could muster.
"How should I address you? I haven't received guests in a long time, so I'm a little rusty in terms of etiquette. I'll arrange the guest rooms for the three of you in a moment. For the banquet … "
"No need. We'll be back in seven days. Just give me what I want," Zuo Zhicheng said coldly. "As for me, you can call me the Devil Master."
This was obviously another alias. Since he was so cautious, Old Mrs. Shen became even more curious about his origins and motives. But as an experienced woman, she knew how to suppress her curiosity. So, she nodded and said, "I'll arrange for my subordinates to collect and pass on the information."
When she raised her head, she realized that the three men in black robes had disappeared. It was as if everything she had seen had been an illusion. But the dozen or so ice sculptures in the hall made her realize that it had not been an illusion.
"Someone, come and take these pieces of trash out …"
…
At night, the moon was in the middle of the sky. It was about to be the time of the day when Yin energy was at its peak.
In a small courtyard in Fuzhou City.
The original owners of the courtyard, from the master, madam, and young mistress to the servants and workers, were all in a daze. They remained motionless in their original positions, as if time had stopped for them.
In the bedroom, Zuo Zhicheng sat cross-legged on the bed. His eyes looked at the moon outside the window, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes.
"He's here."
Yan Gucheng and Ge Ao's expressions turned cold. They were actually in a battle stance as they looked at Zuo Zhicheng.
Zuo Zhicheng's gaze changed immediately after he finished speaking. It became extremely evil, and the muscles and bones in his entire body began to expand and contract.
His body had become extremely majestic, and his appearance was handsome to the point of being devilish. His nose was high, and his eyes were in high spirits as if they contained bolts of lightning. His entire body revealed a type of absolute perfection and a type of extremely devilish attractiveness.
Both Yan Gucheng and Ge Ao began to feel nervous as they looked at the man who looked like a demon king just by sitting cross-legged on the bed.
A devilish voice came from Zuo Zhicheng's mouth, "How much longer can you stop me? The duration today is half a second longer than yesterday."
"So what if you come out? I can let you go back anytime. "
"Even if I have a dog, I'll take it out for a walk. Do you know that I …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zuo Zhicheng's body began to shrink and change again. Not long after, he returned to his original appearance. The monstrous demonic aura and devilish aura from before had completely disappeared.
