The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

“Originally, I barely survived and had no way to take revenge on him, after all, he was of noble status. But I couldn’t help it, I unexpectedly discovered you.”

"Princess Honglian, you actually appeared on the street without any guards. I've tied you up; you can only say you're unlucky."

Chapter 236 Unbridled Rampage

Upon hearing the words of the person before her, Honglian immediately understood the reason for everything.

So, is this yet another undeserved misfortune I've suffered?

This unexpected disaster was brought upon him by Bai Yifei.

Why say it again?

It was because she had been kidnapped once before. The person who kidnapped her that time was Tianze. The reason was that she was a princess of Korea. By kidnapping her, Tianze would have enough leverage and a hostage of sufficient importance.

Honglian never expected that simply because she was being a little playful and shook off the guards Bai Yifei had sent to follow her, she would encounter such a thing.

She was captured by Tianze, and then two groups of people found her.

The first person was Wei Zhuang, but because she acted childishly, she ultimately did not leave with Wei Zhuang.

The second person to find her was Bai Yifei, who rescued her.

Will someone come to save her this time?

Honglian was completely bewildered.

Night had fallen in the blink of an eye.

It has been more than half a day since Princess Honglian went missing.

Outside the city, the night was as dark as ink; there were no stars or moon tonight.

Even so, some people still fish under the cover of night.

Deep in the reeds, beside the lake, a small boat is moored, and the person on board, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, is fishing quietly.

The lake water ripples.

The other person's gaze was as deep as a lake.

Although only a few months had passed, the straw-cloaked man's thoughts had changed somewhat.

To be precise, he had some guesses.

With the recent implementation of reforms by Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei in the imperial court, the unbelievable speculations have become increasingly prevalent in his mind, so he decided to verify them.

A curfew has been imposed in Xinzheng City.

Jiang Chuan did not make a big fuss about Princess Honglian's disappearance, nor did he inform the King of Han, so as not to worry the King of Han. He did not even entrust the matter to Nightfall.

Because he instinctively sensed that Honglian's disappearance was not as simple as it seemed.

"Was it an accident? Or deliberate revenge, or perhaps there's a deeper purpose behind it?"

Jiang Chuan, with Bai Yifei's face, walked along the long street, his eyes sparkling.

Although a curfew was in effect and ordinary people were strictly prohibited from walking around the city, it was obvious that Jiang Chuan was no ordinary person.

Many of the soldiers guarding the city had to salute him when they saw him.

Following that faint premonition, Jiang Chuan strolled through the city.

Xinzheng is a large city, after all, it was the capital of a country.

However, compared to the vastness of the world, it is also very small, like a grain of sand in the ocean.

Jiang Chuan strolled leisurely along the long street, finally arriving at a residence in the east of the city.

Is this the place?

Looking at the houses in front of him, Jiang Chuan muttered to himself.

In the next instant, he leaped up, directly vaulted over the wall of the house, and stepped into the inner courtyard. Just as he entered the inner courtyard, before he had taken more than a few steps, suddenly, an arrow flew out.

shhhhhhhh!

On moonless nights, the black arrows are difficult to see with the naked eye. They come flying in dense swarms, and if Jiang Chuan is not prepared, he will obviously be riddled with holes.

But clearly, he wasn't someone who could be killed so easily.

With a thought, raging flames erupted around him, and many arrows were burned to ashes before they could even get close to him.

With the help of the flames surrounding him, Jiang Chuan was able to see his surroundings clearly.

In the next instant, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and swiftly flew towards the door of the inner courtyard.

During this process, a continuous stream of arrows came at him.

He flipped his palm and struck out, unleashing a raging sea of ​​fire that swept in, engulfing all the arrows before annihilating them.

In an instant, Jiang Chuan arrived at the door of the room.

Before he could even open the door to the room.

The blade pierced out from within, aiming straight for Jiang Chuan's heart.

Jiang Chuan reached out, and his hand, wreathed in flames, suddenly gripped the sword's edge, the flames shooting backward along the blade.

A piercing scream came from the other party's mouth.

Bang bang bang bang! !

The door to the room shattered, and several figures wielding swords rushed out, attacking Jiang Chuan simultaneously.

Jiang Chuan didn't even draw the sword he was carrying.

He simply released the opponent's sword, and then with his hand in mid-air, a sword formed from flames appeared in Jiang Chuan's hand.

He swung his flaming sword.

Flames spread out, and sharp, scorching strikes instantly landed on the bodies of several figures attacking him. Screams echoed as several figures were sent flying at the same time.

Jiang Chuan released his powerful aura, which, like a mountain, landed on the group.

"Who are you people?"

Jiang Chuan approached one of them, lowered his head, and asked him softly.

Sensing Jiang Chuan's gaze, the other party's face twisted, whether from the pain in his body or from the hatred in his heart. "Bai Yifei, I only regret that I am not strong enough to kill you."

"is it?"

Jiang Chuan met the other person's gaze without any expression.

The flames reappeared in the next instant.

First, there was an enormous fireball. Then, the fireball shrank continuously until it turned into a tiny spark. The spark hovered at Jiang Chuan's fingertip. As Jiang Chuan pointed his finger at the person on the ground, the spark flew out and pierced into the person's forehead.

The seemingly scorching flames did not cause any harm to the opponent.

This fire is a false fire, not a real flame.

After the spark entered the mind of the person on the ground, their gaze immediately became unfocused, as if they were immersed in an illusion.

(Okay?)

This is Jiang Chuan's improved version of the Fire Charm Technique after inheriting many of the traditions of Shu Mountain.

The Shu Mountain sect is also extremely skilled in illusion techniques.

In particular, the illusion created by the Wushan Twelve Cloud and Rain Formation that Jiang Chuan experienced was almost indistinguishable from reality.

The Fire Charm Technique he learned from Yan Lingji was powerful, but it had its drawbacks. First, the casting animation was too long. Second, if the opponent's will was strong enough, they could resist the Fire Charm Technique's corruption.

Combining his own experience of being afflicted by the Yin-Yang Curse Seal with the numerous curse techniques he acquired at Mount Shu, Jiang Chuan had an idea: could he condense a seed and plant it in the other person's mind, causing them to become confused and disoriented, their mental defenses to crumble, and ultimately, they to fall into an illusion?

If this is possible, the pre-cast animation of the Fire Charm spell can be canceled directly.

At the same time, unlike Lady Mingzhu who uses illusion magic, she doesn't have to go to great lengths to prepare illusionary fragrances.

Chapter 237 Familiar Sword Technique

Soon, Jiang Chuan learned the whole story from the people on the ground.

The person before me was actually a retainer of a disgraced official.

Recently, under the identity of Bai Yifei, he carried out reforms and ruthlessly eliminated corrupt officials in the court. As a result, many officials were imprisoned and executed, which indeed offended many people.

Jiang Chuan also knew that many officials dared not speak out against him.

Because he was the Grand General of South Korea, he held military power.

But this is by no means a reason for them to kidnap Princess Honglian and take revenge on themselves.

So what if he was executed?

He was a man who was destined to die, yet instead of honestly recognizing his mistakes and repenting, he dared to seek revenge?

That's incredibly bold.

Have those ordinary people who have lost their families and become homeless because of their corrupt and illegal acts ever thought of seeking revenge against them?

Ultimately, it's because these people were in positions that were too high in the past.
