If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 87 Corpse Oil Lantern, Five Viscera Realm
Magistrate Li took several steps forward as if he had grasped the last straw and asked, "What method?"

The Dark Envoy waved his hand, and the shadow in his hand disappeared completely: "Kill, kill Shen Bai and Qin Shuang in advance."

"They will definitely come looking for you. Now, the vegetable field has absorbed the resentment of the deaths of the five noble envoys, and the strangeness has become powerful enough."

"We need to find a place to deal with Shen Bai, and you can be the induction."

Having said that, the Dark Envoy took out a piece of letter paper and placed it on the table.

"Write a letter and tell him you're waiting for him in Hedong Village. When he gets there, everything will become clear."

"I know you're worried that Shen Bai will tell the detectives in Shengyun County. It doesn't matter. At worst, they'll all be killed."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil. As long as you don't leave any traces, the fact that you killed the five envoys of the Shang'e Sect in the critical moment to protect the people of Shengyun County will even be regarded as a role model. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty needs role models now."

County Magistrate Li listened to the words of the Dark Envoy and remained silent as if in death.

After a long time, he took the letter paper, picked up the pen and began to write.

A letter was placed on the table by County Magistrate Li, who stood up and said.

"Let's go, let's go."

He has no choice.

In recent years, everything he has done has been extremely heinous. Even if one of them is taken alone, ten heads would not be enough to chop off.

Only by continuing to cooperate with the upper evil sect can you guarantee your survival.

"You go first. I need to stabilize the strange resentment and then I'll come." An Zun stroked his red lips with his fingers.

Magistrate Li nodded and left the room.

After County Magistrate Li left, the Dark Envoy looked back at the shadows.

Four people in black robes walked out of the darkness.

One of them spoke slowly.

"They say you are as viperous as a snake and scorpion, and it seems to be true."

"This trip not only solved the great worry of Envoy Guang, but also, in just a few words, sent Magistrate Li to his death."

“That’s really brilliant.”

The Dark Envoy smiled charmingly and said, "Isn't this even better? Those five people have always been at odds with us. Once we resolve the conflict, it will be beneficial to us."

"As for Magistrate Li, he is now the only one crossing the river. We only have this boat, so he can only walk until the end of the day."

"How could I possibly let him live? Even if I kill Shen Bai and Qin Shuang, how could he continue to be valued by the Great Zhou Kingdom? After all, this is a big deal."

"After destroying Shengyun County, the sect leader will definitely reward us. Only with this kind of achievement can we have the possibility of cooperating with the Yedao Sect."

Upon hearing this, the four envoys nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, the Dark Envoy and the four other Envoys left the room together.

……

When Shen Bai and Qin Shuang came back, they were not stopped at all.

When the two arrived, the constables outside the yamen were still surprised.

"Manager Shen, Mr. Qin, why are you here?"

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, there are also etiquettes for addressing people.

The constable put Shen Bai in front, which shows his fear of Shen Bai.

Alone, he killed the county magistrate's nephew, his legal advisor, and two constables, yet escaped unscathed.

It was hard for the constable not to be afraid.

What's more, Shen Bai's strength in the tomb at that time was even more so in this world where strength is respected.

"Go call Captain Zheng, there is something important to discuss with him." Shen Bai said.

The constable did not suspect anything and left quickly, taking Shen Bai to the yard.

Soon, Captain Zheng came to the yard with a group of detectives.

Before Captain Zheng could say anything, Shen Bai succinctly recounted what had happened.

Qin Shuang added: "Now, all the evidence points to County Magistrate Li, and we need him to cooperate with the investigation."

Captain Zheng bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go find the county magistrate."

Since the Sizhou official from the Jiantiansi had spoken, Captain Zheng did not say much.

After a while, Captain Zheng walked out from the backyard with a letter in his hand.

"Manager Shen, County Magistrate Li is not here, but there is a letter addressed to you personally."

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, took the letter, opened it and read it.

"Oh, interesting, inviting us to a meeting alone."

Qin Shuang also read it and frowned.

The letter said that if they wanted to know the truth, they should go to Hedong Village, and only Shen Bai and Qin Shuang could go.

If there was a third person, then Magistrate Li would not be able to meet him.

"Go?" Qin Shuang asked.

Shen Bai nodded, handed the letter back to Captain Zheng, and said, "Of course I will go. The matter should be concluded. Captain Zheng, you don't need to follow."

Captain Zheng read the letter, thought for a moment, and said, "Be careful."

He couldn't say anything else, because with Shen Bai's strength, it didn't matter whether they went or not.

Shen Bai nodded, said no more, turned around and walked outside.

"Old Shen, you have to be careful, that guy might be setting an ambush." ​​Zhou Qing said.

He was not a stupid person and knew that if he went there, he would cause trouble for his brother, but he still gave a reminder.

Shen Bai shook his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Soon, Shen Bai and Qin Shuang disappeared into the night.

……

Hedong Village.

Off the beaten track.

This village is an exception in Shengyun County because it is a deserted village.

The deserted village was filled with deathly silence.

At this time, outside the deserted village, two figures slowly approached.

Shen Bai looked up at the dilapidated village, his gaze fixed on the interior of the village.

Not far away, County Magistrate Li and the Dark Envoy stood side by side, also looking at Shen Bai and the other two.

"You're finally here." County Magistrate Li sneered, "Today, it's time to settle the score between us."

Shen Bai and Qin Shuang looked at each other and walked towards the village.

After entering the village, Qin Shuang could feel a chill echoing around him.

She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Bai's words.

Shen Bai's gaze did not linger on Magistrate Li, but on the Dark Envoy.

After looking at it for a moment, Shen Bai's mouth corners slightly raised.

"It seems you really want Magistrate Li to die."

When these words were spoken, not only Qin Shuang, but even County Magistrate Li was stunned.

The Dark Envoy licked her lips charmingly: "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Bai smiled and said, "You are a master of using shadows. You can even use shadows to condense a fake person. That's really good."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became as quiet as if it were a ghost cave.

Magistrate Li turned his head abruptly, looking at the Dark Envoy in surprise, his fingers trembling slightly. "You... are a shadow!"

The Dark Envoy shook his head regretfully and said, "I didn't expect to be discovered, but it doesn't matter."

At this time, the figure of the Dark Envoy was gradually disappearing into thin air like a dream bubble.

County Magistrate Li reached out to grab it, but it felt like he was grabbing at something imaginary, with no foothold at all.

"You gave up on me!"

"Why! I've done so much to get into this evil world!"

"Why!"

The Dark Envoy looked at the roaring Magistrate Li with a smile on his face. He smoothed his nonexistent hair with his hand and said with a chuckle, "First, you should understand the purpose of the Shange Sect. We advocate that human nature is evil. Isn't it normal to do bad things?"

"But you, Shen Bai, I didn't expect you to be able to understand my shadow, but it doesn't matter, I'll wait for you behind."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Dark Envoy disappeared completely.

In the deserted village, the only sound left was Magistrate Li's madman-like roar.

Shen Bai watched the Dark Envoy disappear and said, "Alright, stop shouting."

County Magistrate Li, who was roaring, suddenly stopped, then suddenly lowered his body and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Forgive me, please forgive me, I was confused for a moment..."

"They forced me to do it. I had just taken office at that time. They threatened me with the people of the entire city. I had no choice."

"I'm sinking deeper and deeper, like a quagmire. I can't get out. Let me go. I will definitely be a good person and devote myself to Shengyun County."

County Magistrate Li burst into tears and begged for mercy.

Qin Shuang's eyes were cold: "So many years, so many lives, you beg for mercy now, if I let you go, how can those dead souls rest in peace?"

County Magistrate Li was stunned. “At least, I have improved all the indicators of Shengyun County.”

Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "Target? Where have you achieved your target? Surrender now, abolish all your abilities, and follow me back to the Heavenly Supervisory Division."

"Self-destruction?"

County Magistrate Li stood up and laughed heartily, "All these years of my business, all these years of hard work, are all wasted just because of one sentence from you?"

"Come on, since you can't live today, let's fight to the death. Come on, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh even if I die!"

Waves of words kept circling around County Magistrate Li.

"That's a lot of nonsense."

Shen Bai took a glance and then stabbed out with his sword.

The blood-red sword energy, like a crescent moon, approached in an instant. The sword energy pierced through County Magistrate Li's chest. County Magistrate Li opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

"How is that possible? I could even take your punch when we were in the government office."

Not long ago, when a conflict broke out in the yamen, County Magistrate Li could still take a punch from Shen Bai, but now, it was just a sword.

He found it unbelievable, but the pain in his chest was like reality, slapping him hard.

Shen Bai said calmly: "I was just playing with you, but you took it seriously."

Qin Shuang watched all this without saying a word. He had become numb to Shen Bai's ability to kill instantly.

Being used to it, one naturally becomes numb to it. Qin Shuang knows very well that this mysterious man always catches people off guard.

The life in County Magistrate Li's eyes was disappearing. He fell to the ground, his face as gray as tree bark.

“I originally wanted to be a good official…”

"But, some things, once you have them, you will have them twice, and once you have them twice, you will have them countless times. I can't get out of this!"

"I was wrong, but I'm like a butterfly caught in a spider's web. I can't get out."

"I……"

County Magistrate Li could not utter the rest of the words as he had already turned into a corpse.

Shen Bai put away his sword and touched the cracks on it: "It is just an ordinary sword after all."

Even though he was very careful, the sword was just an ordinary long sword after all. After enduring the sword energy of the Blood Sword Dance so many times, cracks had appeared on it.

Qin Shuang said casually: "Join the Tianjian Division, and you can choose any magical weapon you want."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "It's more important to deal with the Dark Envoy first."

Qin Shuang pondered and said, "There are no clues."

The vegetable patch was supposed to be a clue, but it turned out to be a fake.

County Magistrate Li was also a clue, but he is now dead.

Now, it seems that the clue is broken.

Shen Bai said: "If there is no clue, let's go back to Shengyun County first and wait until..."

Shen Bai didn't say the rest.

"boom!"

A violent roar sounded in the direction of Shengyun County, and even in the deserted village where Shen Bai was, it could be faintly heard.

Shen Bai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Return to Shengyun County."

The situation at this time seems to be that something happened in Shengyun County.

Qin Shuang also felt it, and without any nonsense, he took out the fan from his arms.

"go!"

After the fan appeared, it immediately became the size of an arm. As Qin Shuang fanned it, a gust of wind blew up.

Qin Shuang's speed suddenly increased under the strong wind, and he rushed towards Shengyun County.

Shen Bai used his supernatural power to travel hundreds of miles, turning into a trail of afterimages, like a walker in the night, disappearing into the deserted village.

……

Shengyun County.

Everything should have been quiet at this time, but a loud roar, like thunder exploding out of nowhere, woke up all the people.

The ground began to shake at an extremely frequent frequency, as if a sleeping giant underneath was waking up.

"Everyone, leave the house and find an open space."

"Hurry, don't worry about anything else, life is the most important thing."

"Don't push or shove, leave in an orderly manner!"

Captain Zheng and Zhou Qing, leading the county constables, were directing the people to evacuate from the houses.

While giving orders, the two of them both looked towards the void not far away.

There was a pair of eyes like red lanterns, constantly flashing in the darkness and fog.

The strange atmosphere was filled with chilliness, making people shiver uncontrollably.

"Why hasn't Shen Bai returned yet? Did something happen?" Zhou Qing asked.

Captain Zheng shook his head and said, "If Shen Baidu gets into trouble, Shengyun County will probably be doomed. Don't worry, it should be fine."

The worry in Zhou Qing's eyes did not diminish: "I hope everything is fine."

The two men stopped talking and began to direct the people to continue evacuating.

In the depths of darkness, a ten-meter-high figure was hidden in the thick fog.

The Dark Envoy and the other four Envoys raised their hands.

In the void, a dark red lantern, under the urging of everyone, continued to emit a strange aura.

"An Zun Envoy, my Qi is almost running out. How much longer will it take?" asked one of the Zun Envoys.

The shadow in the Dark Envoy's hand was dancing, communicating with the shadow on the blood-red lantern. Without turning back, he said, "In just one stick of incense, we can lead the strangeness to Shengyun County. Just be patient!"

The weirdness in the depths seemed to be affected by the dark red lanterns and was gradually approaching Shengyun County.

This strange object was given by the sect leader when the Dark Envoy and others came here. It is called the Corpse Oil Lantern.

As long as the corpse oil inside is ignited, it will attract the weird things, and the shadow of the Dark Envoy is the most suitable for the corpse oil lantern.

So this time, the Dark Envoy is the leader.

After the corpse oil burns, it needs Qi to maintain it. What everyone did not expect is that the consumption of this Qi is so huge.

The huge monster was fed with Yin vegetables and had been released, but the other four envoys felt a lot of pressure to lead it to Shengyun County.

"No, I can't hold on anymore!"

One of the envoys could not bear it any longer, and sweat was pouring down his forehead like rain.

The Dark Envoy turned around and saw a hint of gloom between his brows.

A shadow silently merged into the darkness, and disappeared quietly with the Dark Envoy as its source.

The other envoys didn't notice and were still working hard to inject Qi.

Just then, a strong wind suddenly appeared.

In the darkness, the shadow suddenly launched an attack, and the target was the four envoys.

The four envoys were concentrating on injecting Qi when they were suddenly attacked. Before they could react, the shadow pierced their chests.

There was a sound like rags being torn, the shadow began to wriggle, and the wound expanded rapidly.

"Bitch, what are you doing!"

One of the envoys was furious and just as he was about to take action, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

The black shadow's sneak attack increased the damage, and the envoys only had time to let out a roar before they were completely turned into a ball of meat paste by the black shadow.

"What? Of course I want your flesh and blood."

The Dark Envoy sneered, and all the charm in her body disappeared.

The black shadow, like a living person, picked up the flesh and blood of several eunuchs and threw them into the blood-red lantern.

The next moment, the originally dim blood-red lantern became extremely solid.

"The sect leader once said that this technique feeds on weird things and is extremely poisonous. It requires weird things that can generate Yin vegetables. The conditions are harsh. Now, I can do it."

The Dark Envoy looked at the monster that was gradually approaching, and excitement gleamed in his eyes.

The next moment, the Dark Lord turned his entire body into a black shadow, wrapping up the lantern.

The lantern seemed to be inspired and rushed towards the giant monster.

"The Sect Master gave me so many benefits just to kill Shen Bai. Shen Bai is really very proud."

In the darkness, the voice of the Dark Envoy was heard.

……

Shengyun County.

The shaking ground suddenly stopped.

In the distant void, the eyes as big as lanterns disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Zhou Qing and others who were directing the evacuation of the people were all stunned and looked in the previous direction.

"What's going on? Why is there no more strange aura?"

An idea emerged in everyone's mind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came into mind, something unusual became apparent.

A slightly charming voice sounded in the distance.

“Finally succeeded, hahaha!”

The Dark Envoy in a black robe rode a black shadow, descended from the sky, and landed steadily on the ground.

At this time, the Dark Envoy still looked charming, but there were dense patterns on her face.

The pattern exudes a chilling aura, like the wind on a cold night, making people feel scared.

"Surround it up!"

Captain Zheng reacted very quickly and shouted something quickly.

Many constables quickly surrounded them and drew their weapons.

The Dark Envoy looked around, sneered, and waved his sleeves.

A cold aura emanated from the dark shadow, which rushed towards the constables around it like an arrow shot from a bow.

The constables, including Captain Zheng, were attacked by the black shadow and immediately vomited blood and flew backwards.

With just one move, many detectives lost their ability to resist.

Captain Zheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "How is this possible? Five Zang Realm, how could someone from the Five Zang Realm come to Shengyun County?"

An Zunyong brushed his red lips with his hand: "Of course it's all thanks to Shen Bai. I didn't expect that the Sect Master's skills would allow me to reach the Five Internal Organs Realm."

As he spoke, the Dark Envoy looked around and sneered.

"Since Shen Bai hasn't returned yet, let's kill these people as an appetizer..."
