132: 104 Seven Evils_2 132: 104 Seven Evils_2 Fang Zhixing returned to the bushes, quickly searched the bodies, and recovered the arrows.
Afterward, he went to the hot springs to clean up the traces of the battlefield.
Having finished tidying up, Fang Zhixing then looked at his own body.
His armor was severely damaged.
Moreover, because his body had suddenly expanded, he could no longer fit into the smaller-sized armor.
Even his boots were burst open by his toes.
Fang Zhixing simply discarded his entire suit of armor, wearing just a pair of underpants, and walked barefoot.
Before leaving, he took a bath in the hot springs to wash the blood off his body.
The man and his dog led Huang Zipo back the way they ca.
Along the way, they found Xiaobao hiding in a tree hollow.
Xiaobao blinked, a bit dazed.
He hadn’t noticed Fang Zhixing’s increased height and girth.
Since he was rather short and skinny, there were too many people taller than him, so the difference in height wasn’t significant, and he didn’t pay particular attention to this detail.
What’s more, an important point was that when he first saw Fang Zhixing this morning, Fang Zhixing was fully clad in armor with a helt that added height, making him appear exceptionally burly and tall.
What made him more curious was Huang Zipo, who was tied up from head to toe, wondering who this person was.
“Xiaobao, let’s go back,” Fang Zhixing said.
“…
Oh, okay!”
Xiaobao gave Huang Zipo a serious look, curbing his curiosity, not asking any further questions.
They hurried along without stopping for a break, moving as fast as possible.
The situation was urgent; they had to get out quickly.
After all, Huang Mingran might have already escaped back to the camp before them.
Of course, the “as fast as possible” was determined by Xiaobao’s pace.
By the ti they left the Restricted Area and returned to the camp, Xiaobao was completely exhausted, his whole body drenched in sweat.
Fang Zhixing didn’t have ti to worry about that; he generously handed Xiaobao a sum of reward money, then imdiately rushed to the inn where Huang Mingran was staying.
“Shop boy, have you seen Huang Mingran return?”
Fang Zhixing hurried into the inn, scanning the inside and outside of the establishnt while questioning the shop boy.
The shop boy was startled; it was the dead of winter, and Fang Zhixing only wore underpants—wasn’t he cold?
Then, he saw the captured Huang Zipo and exclaid in shock, “Ah, this…”
Fang Zhixing produced the Archery Instructor’s token and said sternly, “Seven Evils Manor is conspiring with rebels, and I’ve caught one in the act.
Answer my question quickly.”
“What, conspiring with rebels?!”
The shop boy’s breath hitched, and he quickly shook his head, saying, “I, the humble one, haven’t seen that Mr.
Huang return.”
Fang Zhixing understood imdiately and ordered the shop boy to open Huang Mingran’s room door.
There was no one inside.
Fang Zhixing grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed and handed it to Xigou.
Xigou sniffed it, then nodded and communicated telepathically, “Alright, I’ve morized his scent now.”
Afterward, Fang Zhixing searched the rooms of those from Seven Evils Manor and obtained more than 300 Heavenly Slaughter Grass plants.
Xigou analyzed, “Given the timing, if Huang Mingran fled at full speed, he is definitely ahead of us.
That ans, he didn’t escape back here to the camp; it’s very likely he used another exit to flee.”
Fang Zhixing agreed wholeheartedly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent as he said coldly, “There’s no other way, we must make a trip to Seven Evils Manor.”
“Okay!”
Xigou nodded, instantly understanding what Fang Zhixing was about to do.
In such a situation, indeed, there was no other way.
Fang Zhixing returned to his own guest room, put on so clothes, and quickly packed his bags.
Then he found Yao Shancheng and handed over all the more than 300 Heavenly Slaughter Grass to him.
“My, oh my, this is so much?!”
Yao Shancheng was completely stunned.
He hadn’t expected Fang Zhixing to have harvested more than 300 Heavenly Slaughter Grass plants; it was like a windfall from heaven.
“Just sell them all, and direct the money to the County Governnt,” Fang Zhixing instructed.
“No problem!”
Yao Shancheng readily agreed and then added after a thought, “However, I need to take the Heavenly Slaughter Grass to the County to sell them, and the to-and-fro might take a month or two, so please be patient, Lord.”
“That’s fine, I trust you,” Fang Zhixing said indifferently.
The previous evening, he had already inquired about the location and general situation of Yao Family Manor,
Yao Shancheng was also considered a fairly well-known rchant.
A short while later, Fang Zhixing purchased a carriage and threw Huang Zipo into it, with Xigou also jumping in.
He personally drove the carriage, quickly leaving the camp.
…
…
To the southwest of the Firefly Restricted Area, two hundred seventy-five miles away, there lies Red Pearl Lake, famous for its production of red pearls.
Next to Red Pearl Lake, there is a town, precisely Chizhu Town.
Seven Evils Manor is located in Chizhu Town.
Clatter, clatter, clatter!
In the gathering gloom, a black horse with a high head charged into Chizhu Town at a frenzied pace.
The black horse did not slow down at all and went straight to the gates of Seven Evils Manor.
At that mont, the gates were still wide open.
The black horse didn’t stop, charging directly into the manor.
“Big brother!
Big brother…”
The man riding the black horse was none other than Huang Mingran, who ca to a halt in the main hall before dismounting.
Manor Master Huang Minghao, hearing the commotion, showed up with a frown, saying, “Second brother, what has gotten you so alard?”
Huang Mingran responded, “Sothing terrible has happened, Fang Zhixing wants to kill !”
“Who?”
Huang Minghao was taken aback; he genuinely had never heard of Fang Zhixing before.
Huang Mingran quickly explained, “He’s the new Archery Instructor and also from the Iron Mountain Sect…”
Before he could finish, a guard suddenly reported, “Master, a carriage has arrived outside, and the man driving is holding young master Zipo hostage and demands to see you imdiately.”
Huang Minghao’s face darkened with anger as he said indignantly, “The audacity, to run rampant at my Seven Evils Manor!”
Huang Mingran cried out in a rush, “Big brother, that man must be Fang Zhixing; he’s kidnapped my son, Pao.”
Huang Minghao, his expression grave and puzzled, asked, “How did you co into conflict with Fang Zhixing?”
Huang Mingran spread his hands, “No conflict; we were both searching for Heavenly Slaughter Grass inside the Restricted Area, when suddenly, we heard intense fighting sounds, so we crept over to sneak a peek, and unexpectedly witnessed Fang Zhixing battling a Third Level Mutant Beast…”
Huang Minghao interjected at this point, “What?
Did you think to take advantage of him, believing he was vulnerable after the big fight, and rashly attack him, only to provoke a formidable enemy?”
Huang Mingran wanted to say he had seen many unbelievable things, but now that the formidable enemy had co knocking, there was no ti to explain in detail.
He bluntly stated, “It’s not that simple, but it’s not sothing that can be explained in a few words.
In short, Fang Zhixing is here to kill ; he wants to silence !”
Huang Minghao scoffed, “Hmph, I want to see just how capable he is, daring to attack us!”
The two brothers strode toward the gate with nacing authority.
By then, night had fallen.
In front of the gate, two lanterns hung under the eaves.
The lanterns swayed slightly in the wind, casting a dim, yellow light.
The people of Seven Evils Manor quickly gathered outside the gate, each ard with spears and clubs, surrounding the carriage.
Actually, Fang Zhixing and Huang Mingran had arrived at Seven Evils Manor one after the other, almost simultaneously.
Although Huang Mingran had ridden his horse quickly, he had fled for a long ti inside the Restricted Area and left through an unfamiliar exit, which delayed him quite a bit.
On the other hand, Fang Zhixing, driving a carriage, was naturally slower.
And so, the two parties t again at Seven Evils Manor.
Huang Minghao swaggered out the door, looked up, and saw a young man standing atop the carriage with sharp facial features and a tall and stout figure, holding Huang Zipo like an eagle with a chick.
“Whimper~”
Huang Zipo, whose mouth was stuffed with a foul sock, beca instantly emotional upon seeing his father and uncle, struggling violently, calling out.
Huang Mingran looked at his son anxiously, yet dared not make a rash move.
“Might you be Instructor Fang?”
Huang Minghao narrowed his eyes and approached slowly, offering a salute.
Fang Zhixing replied, “It is I.”
Containing his rage, Huang Minghao said with a smile, “My second brother just got back and didn’t have ti to tell what happened before Instructor Fang followed right behind.
Hehe, I’m sure there’s so misunderstanding between you two.
How about this, Instructor Fang, co inside, have a cup of tea to calm your anger, what do you say?”
Fang Zhixing said indifferently, “I’m sorry, although you and I bear no grudge, Huang Mingran and his son were the ones who attacked first.
Today, they must die, and your Seven Evils Manor will be implicated because of them.”
“Presumptuous!”
Huang Minghao, raging with fury, scolded, “Dammit, an ungrateful wretch, do you really believe that being an Archery Instructor gives you the right to do whatever you please?
Let tell you plainly, the backer of my Seven Evils Manor is the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Comrce.
Even the Lord County Magistrate Luo Peiyun himself must show so respect.”
Fang Zhixing remained silent, his hand twisting.
Crack!
Huang Zipo’s neck bent sharply…
