Chapter 135: [134] The Unfaithful Shall Howl Under the Black Flame

At this moment.

In just over a hundred meters, it became the most agonizing stretch of road in Qu Xiaoying's life.

Unconsciously, she recalled her past life, as if she was reliving her life again, and many of her previous obsessions gradually dissipated.

"The power of the Xuan Master is terrifying!"

Qu Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh.

The other party had never appeared, but just displayed the Xuan technique once, forcing her to undergo a mental transformation under tremendous pressure.

Soon.

Qu Xiaoying stopped in her tracks.

She didn't hear any sound, but inexplicably received a message.

And this was obviously a method used by a powerful individual.

"Sit!"

A cold voice suddenly resounded in her mind.

Qu Xiaoying instinctively startled.

She looked around, hoping to find the figure of the powerful individual, but all she saw was the snowy wilderness.

Then the female captain was stunned again.

Sit?

Am I supposed to sit directly on the ground?

Qu Xiaoying didn't dare to disobey. She glanced behind her, slowly bent her knees, and prepared to sit on the snowy ground.

Three meters away.

"Meow~"

The black cat meowed.

It was saying, "Is this woman really a big fool?"

Cheng Han curled up his mouth.

With the concealment power of one person and one cat, the female captain didn't notice anything.

The next moment.

A bush beside Qu Xiaoying suddenly made a rustling sound, and some branches quickly extended, weaving into a crude vine chair in an instant.

It was the function of the Spirit Control Xuan Seal.

The "spirit" in the name refers to all living beings, not just animals, but also plants.

The guidance that the woman just heard was also conveyed through plants by the Spirit Control Xuan Seal.

Qu Xiaoying was shocked and awed once again by the methods of the powerful individual.

With extreme trepidation, she carefully placed half of her buttocks on the vine chair.

That's right.

Just place it.

She still relied on her feet to support her body weight, and her raised buttocks only touched the surface of the vine chair.

This was just a symbolic "sitting."

"Meow!"

The black cat expressed its opinion again, its tone filled with strong affirmation.

It was saying that this woman is really foolish!

Cheng Han smiled, his gaze fixed on the female captain, and he asked without hesitation, "Did you set up camp by the ice lake because you found a clue?"

Qu Xiaoying didn't dare to hide anything and honestly replied, "Your insight is as sharp as a torch."

Communicating with an unseen powerful individual made her extremely nervous and uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath before confessing, "Our Blue Flag Demon-Slaying Team has a member with an extremely keen sense of smell. He detected a trace of the 'Poisonous Weasel' nearby."

Cheng Han felt a little disappointed.

His target was the Wutun.

Unfortunately, he had been unable to find any clues, and even the All-Knowing Eye couldn't deduce anything.

However...

Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to silently recite, "Deduce the location of the Poisonous Weasel."

The female team leader must have come into contact with the clue and her body must have been contaminated with the scent of the Poisonous Weasel.

Although she couldn't smell it, the All-Knowing Eye could use it as a connection to find the whereabouts of the supernatural creature.

A slight chill ran through his head.

His mental value dropped by 0.3 points.

No feedback.

Cheng Han furrowed his brows slightly.

Had he failed?

He firmly denied it, "It's impossible!"

The All-Knowing Eye at level 6 had improved its deductive ability, and a trace of scent was enough to clearly track the Poisonous Weasel several times a day.

Cheng Han stared at the female team leader and asked with a playful tone, "Did you offend someone?"

Qu Xiaoying was a little confused, "Sir, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

Cheng Han sighed, "The Poisonous Weasel doesn't exist."

The logic behind it was not difficult to understand.

The scent of the Poisonous Weasel was a fabrication, which meant the team member was lying, and the reason for this was most likely collusion with an outsider.

Qu Xiaoying's mind was still sharp, and she immediately understood the problem.

Her face changed, and she blurted out, "Qiu Jian!"

Cheng Han didn't hesitate and silently recited, "Deduce."

A name was also a form of connection, enough to find a wealth of information from it.

In an instant, information surged like a spring.

This was a somewhat cliché story.

A vice lieutenant of the Black Armor Army named "Qiu Jian" seemed to have grown tired of ordinary women and set his sights on this female warrior with a decent appearance.

Unfortunately, Qu Xiaoying was unwilling to submit.

After retiring, she was originally assigned to an official institution but faced various forms of exclusion, both overt and covert.

In a fit of anger, she resigned from her official position and formed a Demon-Slaying Team, living a life of scraping by.

Overall, it was another conflict caused by lust.

Cheng Han shook his head inwardly, "It seems that the internal affairs of the Black Armor Army are even more complicated than I imagined."

This was not surprising.

The Black Armor Army had thousands of members, and with such a large group, there would naturally be all kinds of people.

Moreover, there were not many female warriors to begin with, accounting for less than 20% of the total, and even fewer were considered beautiful.

Qu Xiaoying clenched her teeth and pleaded, "Sir, please help me."

As she spoke, she finally sat down on a rattan chair, and from this small detail, one could see the change in her state of mind.

Cheng Han chuckled, "Why should I help you?"

The other meaning behind this statement was, "What's in it for me?"

Qu Xiaoying was quite straightforward, "Sir, me and the Blue Flag Demon-Slaying Team are willing to serve you!"

She had thought it through. Since she had caught the attention of a mysterious expert, this was the only way to save her life.

Furthermore, it's all about climbing up anyway. Instead of being constantly suppressed by that despicable person Qiu Jian, it's better to attach oneself to a powerful Xuan Master.

The leader of the female group paused and said something even more provocative: "Sir, I can do anything for you."

And by "anything," it undoubtedly includes certain indescribable things.

Cheng Han hesitated a bit.

Although the female warrior had a charming allure, he didn't really care about her.

What he was considering was that having a demon-slaying team under his command would indeed save him a lot of effort.

Even if he didn't need it in the future, he could always discard it.

It's more useful than toilet paper!

Cheng Han was inclined to agree in his heart, but he asked casually, "How can I trust your loyalty?"

In fact, he didn't really care about the other party's loyalty, he just wanted to test her.

Qu Xiaoying acted decisively, "Sir, you must be skilled in soul techniques. You can extract a strand of my soul."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright!"

He extended a finger and lightly tapped the female group leader in mid-air.

She instantly lost consciousness.

Cheng Han then took out the soul marrow, the gift given by the trash boss, and affixed it to Qu Xiaoying's smooth forehead.

This extraordinary material had many uses, it could be used to concoct secret medicine or to preserve souls.

Cheng Han then activated the secret spatial imprint and carefully extracted a strand of soul power.

This was a new technique developed from studying the locator of the artifact Wanling Source Bridge that he had recently obtained.

Since this woman volunteered to be a guinea pig, he naturally wanted to experiment.

After carefully observing for a while and making a deduction, Cheng Han nodded in satisfaction, "I have gained a deeper understanding of the soul. It seems that I need to conduct more experiments in the future."

He looked at the black cat and smiled, "The demon-slaying team is more familiar with the wilderness, so let them take care of finding the Wutun. Let's go back."

The black cat immediately responded, "Meow~"

Cheng Han had a thought.

Black mist filled the air.

And then dissipated again.

Only the female group leader remained in place, still sitting on the rattan chair.

*

A long time passed.

"Phew!"

A cold wind blew.

Qu Xiaoying woke up in shock.

She instantly felt like she had lost something.

After sensing for a while, the female group leader smiled bitterly, "So this is what it feels like to have your soul extracted?"

"I heard that this is a powerful secret technique that only Xuan Masters can perform. I never thought that one day I would experience such a miraculous technique."

When she mentioned "extracting the soul" earlier, it was also a test.

And the result of the test completely confirmed her speculation.

Indeed, he was a Xuan Master!

Qu Xiaoying sighed deeply, "I hope that this sir, considering my voluntary attachment, won't assign me a mission that is certain death."

She knew very well that being proactive and being passive would lead to completely different outcomes.

The latter often meant being expendable.

It was precisely because of this that she acted so proactively in order to seek a glimmer of hope.

As soon as Qu Xiaoying stood up, she heard a few "crackling" sounds beneath her buttocks.

She turned around and found that the wicker chair had already fallen apart.

The leader of the female team immediately showed a look of awe: "Impressive!"

You have been away for a long time, but the wicker chair can react to the outside world. This is obviously not an ordinary means.

Qu Xiaoying glanced in the direction of the camp and walked back to the bonfire in big strides.

The curious group of team members started asking.

"Leader, where did you go?"

"Why did you go out?"

Qu Xiaoying was stunned, shocked in her heart.

Where did I go? Didn't you all see it with your own eyes?

My goodness!

Could it be that you secretly took action and tampered with their memories?

Qu Xiaoying didn't answer, but calmly looked at a tall and thin young man.

This person's name is "Lu Zhen," the spy of Qiu Jian, deliberately deceived her with false information.

It can be certain that if the Demon Extermination Team has been searching for the Poisonous Weasel here, Qiu Jian will definitely come to cause trouble in a few days.

The leader of the female team was about to speak when suddenly she saw a strange black flame ignite from Lu Zhen.

"Ah~"

Lu Zhen let out a scream of despair, and his whole body instantly turned into a black fire person.

However.

There is something even more terrifying.

The people around, all of them seemed to turn a blind eye to it, as if the black flame and Lu Zhen did not exist.

Qu Xiaoying felt a chill in her heart.

What kind of means is this?

Too terrifying!

In just a breath.

Lu Zhen turned into ashes, without a trace left.

The others still remained oblivious, as if they had forgotten Lu Zhen's existence.

Qu Xiaoying couldn't help but tremble.

She naturally understood that this was the Excellency helping her eliminate the spy and also a warning to her.

It means that disloyal individuals will suffer under the black flame.

Then.

A message suddenly appeared in the mind of the female team leader.

It contained the names of four extraordinary creatures and required the Demon Extermination Team to start searching for their whereabouts.

Qu Xiaoying lowered her head with a face full of awe and silently replied, "I will obey the Excellency's command!"

Before this, she had considered immediately reporting today's encounter to the Black Armor Army and requesting the intervention of the Supreme Court's Lord.

But after this moment, she had no dishonest thoughts in her heart.

With the terrifying means of this Excellency, she was afraid that if she took action, she would be burned to ashes.

At this moment.

The team members noticed that something was wrong and began to ask.

"Leader, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Qu Xiaoying shook her head and said loudly, "I'm fine! Everyone rest early, tomorrow we will leave the ice lake and go elsewhere to search for extraordinary creatures."

The subsequent plot gradually approached the Black Armor Army, and the length of the patrol office's narrative would decrease.
