599: C599 Master Tang

C599 Master Tang

The Shadow Recording Stone Zhang Haorann was holding had three grooves on it, and each groove had a name.

They were 'Ran Jie', 'Tang' and 'Ran Feng'.

Right now, the place where the Shadow Recording Stone was emitting light was precisely from Tang Ya.

Zhang Haorann's impression of Tang Zheng was the same as when he met the Water Demon back then at Luoshui Cliff. The two of them had interacted before. At that time, Zhang Haorann and Tang were still at the Third Grade Half-immortal. After they went there, the two of them did not have the chance to meet, and thus, there was less interaction between them. After that, when Zhang Haorann participated in the sect competition, from the moment he left to now, Tang did not contact him.

"Tang and I have a normal relationship, what is his purpose in contacting me?" Zhang Haorann muttered to himself. He suddenly remembered that one of the three great powers in Lin Prefecture was Tang Family.

Tang Family is one of the three great alchemy families of Nebula Continent.

Zhang Haorann tapped the groove and the Shadow Recording Stone floated.

As expected, the soup came as well.

"Master Zhang, long time no see." Tang Zheng's expression was also stern as he spoke: "I heard the news that you were at Lin Prefecture and helped Branch of Ran Family take over Qipan Mountain's mineral resources. This matter caused Native Ran Family to take Ran Jie back, saying that it would damage your reputation and that from now on, Native Ran Family will no longer protect the Wuzi County's branch, and I hope that Master Zhang will take care of things there."

"I believe that Master Zhang definitely has a reason for helping Branch of Ran Family take over Qipan Mountain. I look forward to the next meeting with Master Zhang. Of course, if Master Zhang is not feeling well at Branch of Ran Family, or if he wants to leave for any other reason, then please keep a low profile. Master Zhang is not recommended to go to Qin Family since something has happened to Qin Family recently. "

The scene disappeared.

Zhang Haorann kept his Shadow Recording Stone and thought about the message that Tang Wu had sent.

Something must have happened to the Qin Family because the Imperial Family was deliberately making things difficult for them.

However, Tang Xiu's words had also awoken Zhang Haorann, which meant that there were already powers paying attention to him.

Zhang Haorann was still a day away from reaching Changjin County.

Under Zhang Haorann, there was a flat plain. This was called the West Gate Plains, and in the map Zhang Haorann held, the West Gate Plains happened to be at the border of Changjin County.

The Xikou Plains was a wide area, with occasional swamps, streams, and mountain forests appearing. The overall environment was very suitable for the common folk to live in.

Occasionally, Zhang Haorann could see cultivators training in the forests of the Xikou Plains.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Haorann stopped and looked down.

It was a small town with a thousand families.

At this moment, there were people gathering in the town towards the yamen.

Some cried, some scolded, some shouted, some beat.

"The name of this town is …" Zhang Haorann looked at the map, and the place marked on it, was precisely the Xikou Town that was within the Changjin County.

At the same time, around the Xikou Town, a few rows of people moved quickly towards the Xikou Town in an orderly manner.

This wasn't enough to attract Zhang Haorann's attention. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the coffin carried by the gathering crowd below open. A piece of black metal peeked out. From a distance, it looked like black charcoal.

Zhang Haorann saw it clearly.

"It looks like a female tiger meat."

Zhang Haorann frowned. He did not expect to see the meat of a tigress here.

The so-called female tiger meat was the meat of a tiger that, after slaughtering a tiger, was placed into a woman's body using the "female tiger Talisman Seal". After ten days of nourishment, the skin of a tiger could be transformed into the flesh of a female tiger, which was extremely beneficial for the cultivation of a Half Immortal, and was able to nourish the body of a half immortal, stabilizing the Dao Body Vital Energy.

The female tiger Talisman Seal was a Talisman Seal that was forbidden from being used by many Luo King Realm, so it was very harmful to women's bodies.

Zhang Haorann was curious as to why these ordinary citizens would carry the coffin containing the female tiger's flesh and head towards the Xikou Town office. Could it have something to do with the office?

Thinking for a moment, Zhang Haorann stepped on his sword and walked to a remote place where he could hide among the common people.

The surroundings were in an uproar.

"Ask the government to give us an explanation!"

"In the past month, thirteen beautiful ladies disappeared from the Xikou Town. The government kept saying that they were investigating, but in the end, there was no news at all."

"Dead girls, what about their parents?"

"If it wasn't for Master Tang appearing and finding where the girl disappeared to, all of us in the town would have been deceived!"

The crowd became excited and supported each other as they majestically headed towards the Xikou Town's official yamen.

Zhang Haorann thought in his heart, could it be that this Master Tang is a master alchemist from Tang Family?

Coincidentally, I met someone from Tang Family here.

However, Zhang Haorann was curious. The reason why people were so hostile towards the government was not simple.

Zhang Haorann took out the map and saw that the location of the Xikou Town Department was less than half a kilometer away from where he was now.

Zhang Haorann tapped on the map's "Office of the Prefect" and a line of words appeared on the side.

"Xikou Town Department Yamen, Town Security Officer Ji Shuang."

Ji Shuang?

Zhang Haorann casually asked a person, and that person thought that Zhang Haorann was a commoner who had gone through Xikou Town, and replied:" Master Tang told us, this coffin was found in the backyard of Ji Shuang's house.

As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes, as if he had a close relationship with the dead woman.

"So it was found in Ji Shuang's house. No wonder I had forgotten about the yamen office." Zhang Haorann shook his head. He had seen these things too many times in his previous life, if there were no mishaps, if this matter were to reach the Changjin County King, Ji Shuang would definitely be severely punished by him.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Haorann thought, everyone came to the entrance of the government office and saw Ji Shuang kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face. Surprisingly, Ji Shuang did not open his mouth to beg for mercy, but instead spoke his grievances.

"Citizens of the Xikou Town!"

"I, Ji Shuang, have been in Xikou Town for almost forty years. I have always been a reserved profession, maintaining the stability of Changjin County and Wuzi County, not mentioning the merits, I have also suffered greatly. Everyone believes in my character, this is the reason why I was able to become a governor until now."

"However, someone said that the coffin was found inside my house. There is meat of a tigress inside, which makes it hard for me to explain!" I am just a First Grade Half-immortal cultivator, I have never even heard of that female tiger Talisman Seal, how could I know how to use it? "

"If you don't believe me, I can present my official curriculum vitae to you all. I have never involved any Talisman Seal s, especially after I became a First Grade Half-immortal cultivator. I have been stuck in there for 30 years, so what's the point of cultivating a female tiger's flesh?"

Ji Shuang looked to be sixty years old, and as a First Grade Half-immortal cultivator, he could easily change his appearance to that of a young man. However, he had an old face, and it was unknown if it was because he had been discovered hiding a coffin in his backyard, or because of some other reason, his face was filled with exhaustion.

Ji Shuang said he felt wronged and the commoners didn't listen.

"Ji Shuang, you are First Grade Half-immortal. How could you not know that there is a coffin hidden in your backyard? This Xikou Town only has you. In my opinion, you must be trying to quibble! "

A well-dressed man came to Ji Shuang's side. His face was as handsome as jade.

When the commoners saw this person stand out, they all shouted out the name "Master Tang".

"So he is Master Tang." Zhang Haorann looked at the well-dressed man.

Ji Shuang knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Master Tang, I really don't know when there was a coffin in my backyard and I don't know anything about that female tiger's flesh."

"Don't mess around!" Master Tang rebuked angrily, "As the Tang Family of Yulan County, I will never tolerate such a thing happening."

The commoners were all excited.

"So it's a grandmaster alchemist with Tang Family."

"Lucky."

"Tang Family is one of the three great forces of Lin Prefecture."

"Rumor has it that in the Tang Family, there are over a thousand alchemy manuals, and a hundred cauldrons. Alchemy masters who come from the Tang Family are born with a higher status than alchemists from the five great sects."

"Of course, our Nebula Continent is one of the three great alchemy families."

People were getting closer and closer to Master Tang.

That Master Tang also enjoyed it a lot, with a satisfied look on his face.

"Since Ji Shuang won't admit it, I have plenty of ways to make him admit it." Master Tang took out a Medicine Pill.

"Look, Master Tang is going to use the Medicine Pill!" The people near Master Tang said excitedly. The people in the back sat on their heels, wanting to see how Master Tang would use it.

At the same time, dozens of people appeared from the crowd and stood beside Master Tang to protect him.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Haorann's eyes and a playful smile appeared on his face.

When Master Tang was about to pass the Medicine Pill to Ji Shuang, Zhang Haorann rushed towards the crowd in front of him. The crowd automatically opened up a path for him, and at the same time, Zhang Haorann noticed that other than him, there were others who were also heading towards Ji Shuang.

Ji Shuang cried and refused to swallow the Medicine Pill in Master Tang's hands.

Master Tang hit Ji Shuang's throat and threw the Medicine Pill into Ji Shuang's mouth as he gulped it down.

"Speak, other than the coffin that contains the body of the female tiger, are there any other coffins that are also hidden within the Xikou Town?"

"I don't know." Ji Shuang's pupils dilated as if he had lost his consciousness, and his speech became uncontrollable.

"Does the Qin Wangling of the Western Estuary Plains have anything to do with the female tiger in the coffin?"

"I don't know."

"Where is Qin Wangling?"

Ji Shuang's head trembled as if he was struggling, and said slowly in the end: "Ten kilometers southwest of Xikou Town."

Master Tang grunted, "Everyone has seen that. Ji Shuang has already admitted to his crimes, and I believe that once Changjin County King finds out about this, he will definitely punish Ji Shuang severely." After which, he turned around and left.

Zhang Haorann noticed that when Master Tang left, some of the people that were trying to squeeze into the crowd earlier also left with him.

"When Master Tang asked Ji Shuang about Qin Wangling, his voice was very soft and ordinary people wouldn't be able to notice it." Zhang Haorann stood in the crowd and released a burst of true essence that swept onto Ji Shuang's chest.

In an instant, the Medicine Pill power that Master Tang gave Ji Shuang to swallow was dispelled.

Ji Shuang woke up in shock. He saw the people around him glaring at him. He didn't know what had happened, he only remembered to kneel in front of the door and beg for forgiveness.

No matter what, Ji Shuang felt terrible, as if something terrible had happened.

Zhang Haorann walked in front of Ji Shuang and said with a smile, "Ji Shuang, if you want to live, enter the government right now. I need to ask you some questions."

"Yes, yes, yes!" When Ji Shuang saw Zhang Haorann's extraordinary temperament that was like a savior appearing, he brought Zhang Haorann into the government office and had his subordinates block the gate.0
