Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 926 A Reliable Middle-Aged Man
The small square on the second floor was filled with the sounds of battle.

Wu Xian leaped high into the air, his flaming longsword flashing with a sharp light, slashing out a huge, bright yellow crescent moon!
This high-temperature crescent-shaped slash sliced ​​the imprisoned woman vertically in two.

The two halves of the corpse were burned, emitting the aroma of roasted meat and oozing a black liquid like oil. After Wu Xian landed, he flicked the tip of his knife, and the corpse was set ablaze.

Thus, the imprisoned woman was beheaded for the third time.

Wu Xian looked at the newlyweds and smiled the same way he had before the operation.

"See? I told you it was simple."

……

The BOSS that Wu Xian mentioned earlier naturally refers to the prisoner woman.

To enter the water dungeon and reset time, the prisoner is an unavoidable obstacle.

And once they get rid of her, they can move freely throughout the entire third floor without having to stand still and be humiliated by the prisoner when she comes to inspect.

Wu Xian had already killed the prisoner twice and knew her abilities very well, so he quickly devised a plan of action.

Of course, the newlyweds had many complaints about this.

Although these people were all older than Wu Xian, they were completely suppressed by Wu Xian in terms of aura, and they could only obey Wu Xian's orders if they wanted to survive.

Wu Xian's plan was actually very simple.

Fang Aimin, who possessed the supernatural power of the Golden Bell Shield, entered the small square head-on, attracting the attention of the imprisoned woman. He had a golden body robe, and the imprisoned woman had no way to break through his shell. Moreover, the frequent attacks helped to accumulate the golden light of the Golden Bell Shield's counterattack.

Xu Dayu, who was holding the decapitation curse, followed behind Fang Aimin and hid together in the Golden Bell Shield. He used the decapitation curse to attack the prisoner's head and thus completely enraged her.

As for Wan Siming, the owner of the cultural and creative store who possesses supernatural powers—the ability to land silently—his task is to act as a mount.

When the imprisoned woman was completely enraged, he was responsible for carrying Wu Xian on his back, silently approaching her from behind so that Wu Xian could deliver a fatal blow...

For Wu Xian, this process was simple and easy.

However, the three newcomers were all in a daze, their legs were weak, and the mere roar of the prisoner and the aura emanating from her body made them tremble.

It's worth noting that the last evil they faced was merely a stitched-up security guard.

……

The battle with the prisoner was thrilling, but it didn't actually take much time.

Wu Xian let the newlyweds take a short break, then led them to collect items everywhere on the left side of the second floor, such as fire-attracting powder, corpse oil, and whetstones, collecting as many as they could.

When it was almost time, Wu Xian led everyone back to the Su residence.

When Wu Xian saw that both Qi Liang and Luo Caixia had survived, he breathed a long sigh of relief. After hearing about their experiences, he gave them a thumbs up in admiration.

Luo Caixia was alright, since she had the physical enhancement brought about by the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pill, but it was already quite remarkable that a middle-aged woman would risk everything to fight against evil spirits.

The illusion Qi Liang encountered was truly challenging, and his ability to worship gods was actually useless in this illusion, and could even mislead newcomers. Therefore, it was extremely rare for Qi Liang to survive.

Wu Xian hadn't had high expectations for these older men and women before, but now he had to admit that experience really does matter.

"Since we still have some time, let's do a test. I need to know how your abilities have changed after you cleared the illusion."

Upon hearing this question, Luo Caixia slapped her thigh: "Director Qi just had me try this. I didn't feel any change in myself compared to before. My strength and speed are the same as before, and it still hurts just as much after being hit."

“I don’t know if this counts as a change.” After Luo Caixia finished speaking, Qi Liang said, “I just used the Corpse Transformation Technique once and discovered that there is a cold energy in my body. I can mobilize this cold energy to attack, but I’m afraid of wasting it, so I’m not sure about the specific effects yet.”

Wu Xian was very satisfied with Qi Liang and Luo Caixia's performance. Fang Aimin and the other two also performed well. Although they were also very scared when dealing with the prisoner, the whole plan was executed very smoothly without any unexpected situations.

This gave Wu Xian some optimism about the exploration to come.

Although the middle-aged group members are not as physically strong as the younger ones, they not only do not hold Wu Xian back, but they also perform quite well.

When the clock strikes midnight.

Wu Xian led five newcomers to the transfer area, and then through the transfer area into an L-shaped area filled with corpses, where they were naturally attacked by a group of half-bodied evil spirits.

This time, they escaped unscathed.

Slaying the half-bodied evil spirits did not consume Wu Xian's Burning Dream Blade, so Wu Xian moved as if he were in an empty field, cutting down this group of half-bodied evil spirits as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, much more efficiently than last time.

Last time, Wu Xian relied more on the high temperature of the flames and the short blade of the dagger to damage the half-body evil spirit. This time, the more than one-meter-long flaming blade was so real that it could easily cut the half-body evil spirit in half.

Furthermore, he doesn't need to worry about the newlyweds.

Fang Aimin, in particular, actively attracted the attacks of the half-body evil spirits and relied on the golden light of the Golden Bell Shield to kill a considerable number of them.

They passed through this obstacle without incident and arrived at the right side of the second floor.

Before officially confronting the mastermind behind the half-body evil spirit, Uncle Weng, Wu Xian thoroughly investigated the right side of the second floor, paying particular attention to the various props in the market.

Wu Xian gained two insights from this investigation.

The first discovery came from the market.

Last time, Wu Xian and his group found a carriage that couldn't be opened in the market, but because of time constraints, Wu Xian didn't investigate further.

On his journey to find props, Wu Xian would touch any carriage he encountered and was surprised to discover that, except for the carriages deep in the market, the curtains of all the carriages could be lifted.

In other words, this closed carriage is unusual, and there must be some secret hidden inside.

The second discovery came from the restaurant.

The layout of the restaurant remains the same as before.

The box containing the treasures was placed conspicuously on the stairs, easily accessible with a simple reach. The terracotta figurine of the eight constables still stood in the middle of the restaurant.

This time, Wu Xian didn't dare touch the treasure chest. He mainly studied the pottery figurines, carefully exploring and examining them. He quickly discovered that the pottery figurines could be touched and even opened.

After twisting off the head of the clay figurine, a blue-headed talisman wrapped in paper was found inside.

This blue-headed fortune slip looks the same as the yellow-headed and red-headed fortune slips on the desk downstairs, only the colors are different.

The paper wrapped with the blue-tagged seal contained the magistrate's orders to the constables:

"Spar with all means to find all seven treasures of Xuanling County. Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy."

The order was also stamped with the vermilion seal of the 'Xuanling County Magistrate'.

In other words, the reason why the Eight Constables chased after them last time was because of the orders of Magistrate Xuanling.

Wu Xian tried to take the order away, but found that as long as he left the restaurant, the blue-headed sign and the official document would return to the pottery figurine.

"Perhaps, the only way to terminate this command is to replace it with another command."
