Chapter 253: [252] The person I want to kill, even a profound master can't protect.

Dongshan Park.

Inside a luxurious tent.

Outside, the cold wind howled, piercingly cold.

Inside the tent, there was a set of gray crystal heating equipment installed, and the thick fur carpet was embedded with a large number of heat-conducting metal wires, continuously emitting heat, making this place warm as spring.

This was clearly the treatment for important figures.

Cheng Han remembered Qian Qingqing's beautiful face and their moments together, and couldn't help but whisper, "Perhaps it's time to give her an explanation."

When he first arrived in this world, his female classmate had helped him a lot.

Since they had met in such humble circumstances, how could they forget each other in the world?

As a person, one must not forget their roots!

Ying Beibei stood by and watched as the glass on the wooden table turned into stone cups, unable to help but ask, "Director, did something happen just now?"

Cheng Han nodded, "The guardian profound master has come."

The female secretary couldn't help but click her tongue.

It was extremely difficult for other officials to meet the guardian profound master.

But the director was different, the guardian profound master would actively come to him every few days.

Cheng Han seemed to be talking to himself, but also seeking advice, "The guardian profound master hinted that certain officials have actually sought connections with the Xuan Pavilion and used it to pressure me. What should I do?"

Ying Beibei was shocked to hear this.

She naturally understood that the situation had evolved into a confrontation between the director and the profound master, and things had really escalated.

Although her boss was a rare genius, his strength was still inferior to the profound master. If the two sides were to clash, they would probably suffer a big loss.

The female secretary moved her lips and took the courage to interject, "You have already intimidated the Council of Political Affairs, why not..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but it was not difficult to guess - why not stop here and not further escalate the problem.

Cheng Han smiled, "The officials who have been arrested will soon be escorted to Black Mountain Fortress. When the profound master says a word, they will be released."

He shook his head, "If I stop now, wouldn't I have to watch a bunch of scum jumping around in front of me all day?"

Ying Beibei didn't say anything, silently accepting the situation.

She felt that since the profound master had intervened, this was the inevitable outcome.

Cheng Han sighed, "If I stop now, wouldn't I have to watch a bunch of scum jumping around in front of me all day?"

The female secretary hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Director, no one can do it better than you."

Although these were words of comfort, the other implication was that accepting reality was the wiser choice.

Cheng Han slowly stood up, "Let's go to the Council of Political Affairs."

Ying Beibei was stunned.

Since the director had taken on the role of the Grand Chancellor, he had never set foot in the Council of Political Affairs. Why did he suddenly want to go there today?

Could it be that the director was planning to compromise?

"Swish!"

The windproof curtain made of transparent resin was lifted.

The cold air immediately rushed in.

Cheng Han took a deep breath of the icy cold air, his face showing a hint of coldness, "Zong Chang, right?"

Just now.

He quietly made a deduction.

The result shows that the root cause of this matter is a mysterious scholar named "Zong Chang".

After the All-Knowing Eye was promoted to level 7, its deductive ability became even stronger. Despite never having seen the other party, it still obtained a large amount of information.

This Zong Chang, at the age of 36, was promoted to a scholar. Now he is over 160 years old and has experienced more than two centuries of ups and downs. His strength is quite formidable.

So far, Zong Chang has married nearly thirty wives and has given birth to no less than fifty offspring.

This is not surprising.

According to the law, a scholar is not limited to marrying only five wives for life, but rather can have up to five officially registered spouses who are alive.

Here, it is important to emphasize the phrase "alive".

In other words, if one of the wives unfortunately passes away, or if both parties agree to dissolve the marriage, the scholar can remarry.

And with Zong Chang's longevity, coupled with his particular fondness for beauty, over the years, he has accumulated so many spouses in his personal history.

Half an hour later.

Winter Garden.

Meihua Tower.

This two-story building was originally the residence of the Fang family's servants, but now it has been transformed into a temporary prison for the detained officials.

Thirty-eight dismissed officials are all being held in Meihua Tower.

At this moment.

Wei Shenghao, the former director of the Treasury, is undergoing interrogation.

"We have examined the Treasury's account books, and in the past ten years, at least 36,000 gold coins of unaccounted funds have gone missing."

A burly arbitrator, staring at the middle-aged fat man who was shackled to a chair, sternly shouted, "Wei, confess honestly!"

Wei Shenghao remained calm and evaded the question, saying, "My cousin married the esteemed scholar Zong Chang from the Xuan Pavilion. You better be polite to me."

The arbitrator was momentarily stunned.

Wei Shenghao's tone revealed a hint of pride, "Now there is a bigger figure involved. Even if Cheng, the chief executive, has great authority, can he surpass the esteemed scholar?"

"I've been in the Arbitration Bureau for so long, I advise you to first consider the situation before taking sides! Don't be too hasty!"

Clearly.

Although Wei Shenghao was detained in the Winter Garden, certain bureaucrats with vast Divine Abilities still found a way to pass on the message to him.

The arbitrator's expression changed repeatedly, and finally he said, "The morning interrogation took too long. Let's take a fifteen-minute break."

He was the first to leave, walking out quickly.

The other arbitrators exchanged glances and followed suit, pouring out of the interrogation room.

This was undoubtedly an excuse.

The real reason was that the arbitrators needed to immediately report to the deputy director and discuss the next course of action.

If Wei Shenghao's words were true, the Arbitration Bureau should avoid getting involved in the power struggle between big figures, otherwise they could easily end up crushed.

"Bang!"

The door was closed.

Wei Shenghao revealed a smug smile, "Cheng, you bastard. The esteemed scholar can crush you with a flick of his finger. How dare you continue to be so arrogant?"

This guy snorted again, "I heard that the Xuan Pavilion only intends to let this bastard Cheng serve as the chief executive for half a year. It seems that the Xuan Pavilion is not very satisfied with him."

"As long as I endure for half a year, when this bastard Cheng is driven off the stage, I'll find a way to smooth things over and return to the Treasury. What's so difficult about that?"

Just then.

Wei Shenghao suddenly discovered that his appearance in the large mirror hanging on the opposite wall had undergone a terrifying change.

His chubby face had actually melted like a candle.

Large patches of black hair rapidly sprouted from every pore on his body.

The former director was instantly filled with extreme terror.

What happened?

How could I become like this?

In an instant,

Wei Shenghao sensed a torrential pain, as if he had been swallowed by a monster and his body was being crushed by countless teeth.

No.

This was not physical pain.

It was the utmost agony originating from his soul.

Wei Shenghao instinctively realized that some terrifying entity was devouring his soul and taking over his body.

He desperately tried to cry out for help, but only a faint sound came from his throat.

"Heh~ Heh~"

Wei Shenghao saw once again that the figure in the mirror had undergone even more horrifying changes.

His facial features disappeared, leaving only a pair of blood-red eyeballs and a terrifyingly large mouth. The black hair on his skin grew to the length of a finger, then wriggled like a snake coming to life.

In that instant,

A thought popped into Wei Shenghao's mind - Could it be that I have turned into the eerie "No-Face Monster"?

Then,

His consciousness was completely engulfed.

Or it could be said that he died.

"Hiss~"

A bone-chilling roar instantly spread throughout the Meihua Tower.

*

The Grand Council Hall.

Inside the office of the Grand Chancellor.

A brilliant halo floated in mid-air out of nowhere.

Cheng Han comfortably sat on the luxurious chair, feeling the perfectly soft touch beneath his buttocks, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He snorted inwardly, "That idiot Wei had a chance to survive, but he had to involve the Xuan Masters. Isn't that seeking death?"

The sudden transformation of a living person into a No-Face Monster was naturally the result of Cheng Han's secret manipulation.

Previously, the All-Knowing Eye had analyzed Lady Snake's divine power crystallization and, combined with knowledge of the Three Divine Artifacts, unexpectedly deduced a method to create something eerie.

To be more specific,

Within each of Lady Snake's snake pupils, there were millions of eerie vertical pupils, which had a peculiar name - the Pupils of No-Face.

If any creature with insufficient strength was glanced at by the Pupils of No-Face, they would be instantly contaminated by divine power and completely transformed into a terrifying No-Face Giant.

The so-called No-Face Monster was like a "low-grade version" of the No-Face Giant.

Cheng Han secretly muttered to himself, "If I can extract a Pupil of No-Face from Lady Snake, maybe I can analyze the method of creating a No-Face Giant."

He made a note of this and added it to his collection list.

Although his current strength was insufficient, it didn't matter. There was still plenty of time in the future!

In the halo scene.

"Hiss~"

No-Face grotesquely opens its mouth wide, spitting out a bunch of dark tentacles, each one with saw-like teeth, seemingly sensing the scent of prey.

This scene is extremely horrifying to watch.

Soon after.

The monster retracts its tentacles, runs on all fours for a few steps, and fiercely crashes into the wall.

"Boom!"

Only a loud explosion is heard.

The wall is smashed through, leaving a large hole.

Bricks and debris fly out, and a large cloud of dust fills the air, completely obscuring the line of sight.

On the other side is a temporary prison cell, where several dismissed officials are being held, all of them panicking and shouting.

"It hurts!"

"Help!"

The next moment.

The shouts turn into screams of agony.

No-Face viciously pounces on a middle-aged man, spitting out a bunch of tentacles that lightly "lick" the target's face, instantly scraping off the flesh, revealing a pale skeleton.

"Ah~"

The wailing only lasts for a moment.

Then it abruptly stops.

Because the bunch of tentacles quickly burrows into the middle-aged man's mouth, deeply penetrating his innards, greedily devouring his organs and flesh.

It can be clearly seen that this guy's abdomen swells up high, and his belly fluctuates irregularly.

This is an unimaginable extreme pain. The middle-aged man trembles violently in pain, but he can't utter a single word from his mouth.

Cheng Han immediately averts his gaze and curses in his mind, "Damn disgusting!"

His gaze has no warmth: "So what if he's a Xuan Shi? I want to kill someone, and a Xuan Shi can't protect them!"

According to the orders issued by the Black Armor Army, criminals sentenced to more than ten years must be transferred to the Black Mountain Camp. If the normal process is followed, these people will fall into the hands of the Xuan Shi.

He cannot tolerate this, so he decides to kill them all in one go.

In fact.

The reason why Cheng Han did not return to Dongyuan and suddenly arrived at the Council Hall was to create an "absent" excuse.

A strange creature suddenly appeared in the prison cell and killed all the prisoners.

What does it have to do with me?

Cheng Han's mind stirs.

Another halo appears.

In the center of the frame, a figure with a ponytail is shown.

It's Qian Qingqing.

"Hey! Ha!"

As usual, the little girl holds a big gun in her hands, practicing vigorously and sweating profusely.

Cheng Han takes a glance and feels slightly surprised in his heart, "She's actually about to condense the Source Sensation Mark, which is a bit faster than I expected."
