Chapter 233 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 11
The men in black carried a golden, glowing box. Using the trees as cover, they nervously made their way up the mountain.
Before they arrived, they knew that the mountain was under the strict protection of His Majesty's men. If they accidentally offended those secret guards, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
They heard that some of the people who went up the mountain a few days ago were killed, some were injured, and the injured were even arrested, so they became even more cautious.
Today's goal is to capture at least one white fox that has entered the Qi Refining stage.
After turning the corner, the group saw Leng Yuexing playing in the mountains.
His snow-white, soft fur swayed gently in the breeze, making him look exceptionally sweet and dreamy.
The men in black paid no attention to Leng Yuexing's beauty. They became excited when they saw another monitoring artifact in their hands light up.
They had originally thought it would take a great deal of effort to capture a Qi Refining stage white fox, but they hadn't expected to encounter one so easily.
In order to capture Leng Yuexing, the men in black instantly hid behind a tree.
Then, working together, one person climbed up a big tree and approached Leng Yuexing from the top, while the rest silently surrounded her.
Leng Yuexing pretended not to notice and continued to play on the grass.
Once all the men in black were ready, one of them threw the magical artifact at Leng Yuexing's feet.
Leng Yuexing's lips twitched. If he wasn't mistaken, this magic weapon would only work if it attacked a demon beast.
The person who threw the magic weapon was filled with regret when he saw that it had not hit Leng Yuexing.
He thought it best to attack Leng Yuexing directly.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yuexing pretended to be curious and gently touched the magic weapon with the tip of her nose.
In an instant, the magic weapon released a dazzling light that enveloped Leng Yuexing.
Huangfu Ming stayed by Leng Yuexing's side the whole time. The moment Leng Yuexing was trapped in the magic weapon, he couldn't help but want to make a move, but he managed to hold back.
However, his tightly clenched hands and the barely suppressed murderous aura emanating from him revealed his inner worry and anger.
When the man in black saw that Leng Yuexing had touched the magic weapon and been enveloped by it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They had never seen such a stupid monster before. If it weren't for the monitoring artifact showing that he was indeed in the Qi Refining stage, they probably would have thought that Leng Yuexing was just an ordinary wild beast.
One of the men in black stepped forward, picked up the magical artifact, and said happily, "Brothers, we got this white fox without any effort. We can complete today's mission perfectly!"
“Great, boss! It’s just a pity that the magic weapon for absorbing the demon beast’s spiritual power is gone. Otherwise, we could have absorbed all of the demon beast’s spiritual power on the spot and wouldn’t have had to go through the trouble of bringing it back to headquarters,” another man in black said.
The man in black, who was referred to as the boss, sighed, "There's no other way but to go through this trouble. Let's hurry back and report!"
"Yes!" With the other men in black responding, they all turned around and walked steadily down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, they each leaped onto their horses and galloped eastward.
Huangfu Ming calmly took out a flying magic weapon from his storage bag—a huge broadsword, large enough for him to sit steadily on its blade.
He then piloted his flying magical artifact to follow behind the man in black.
On this trip, he brought most of the magical artifacts he could and couldn't use with him, just in case something unexpected happened.
Now it seems that the magical treasures he brought were indeed useful. When he goes out again, he plans to take all the magical treasures in the entire treasure vault with him.
Huangfu Ming easily followed behind the man in black, while the man in black riding ahead did not have it as easy.
After traveling until late at night, they stopped, found a suitable place to camp, and prepared to rest for the night before setting off again the next day.
The next morning, they set off and finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital by evening.
There is a large mountain on the outskirts of the capital. There are many wild animals on the mountain, but because it is too close to the human world, there is not a single demon beast cultivating on the mountain.
Several men in black arrived at the mountainside, where there was a hidden cave on the shady side.
They led the horses into the cave.
The cave was dark, damp, and cold, with watermarks on the ground at intervals, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were blood or ordinary water.
After passing through a narrow path, they finally arrived at a circular hall.
The circular hall was surrounded by many branching paths. The black-clad man holding the magical artifact headed towards the central branching path, while the other black-clad men went towards different branching paths.
The man in black, holding a magical artifact, followed the path into a larger and more magnificent hall.
The interior of the hall was resplendent with gold and silver, with exquisite gemstones and precious metals inlaid on the walls and luxurious carpets covering the floor.
At this moment, directly in front of the hall, a figure is facing away from the man in black.
Upon seeing this person, the man in black raised the magical weapon in his hand, knelt down, and shouted, "My lord! We have successfully captured a white fox in the Qi Refining stage."
Upon hearing this, the man turned around. Huangfu Ming had already felt that the man's back was familiar, and after seeing his face, he revealed an expression of "I knew it!" This man was none other than his uncle, Huangfu Yi!
Huangfu Yi's cheeks flushed with excitement as he asked loudly, "Have you caught another white fox that's cultivating?"
“Yes, my lord!” the man in black affirmed.
"Good! Very good! Place the white fox on the ground marked with a red array, and then go to the steward to collect your reward!" Huangfu Ming said excitedly to him.
"Yes, my lord!" the man in black said, activating his magic weapon to place Leng Yuexing into the array beside him.
Unexpectedly, the moment Leng Yuexing was released, she immediately used her spiritual power to attack the man in black and jumped out of the range of the formation.
Before the man in black could utter a single word, he clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground in terror.
Huangfu Yi's smile remained, but upon seeing this scene, his smile froze, and the excitement in his eyes disappeared.
He hurriedly pressed a button on his body, a button that could activate the protective magic item he possessed.
Once the magic weapon was activated, it instantly formed a barrier that enveloped Huangfu Yi. At the same time, he shouted, "Guards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Yi was surprised to find that the first person to appear was His Majesty Huangfu Ming.
His eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Huangfu Ming: "Your Majesty?"
Huangfu Ming slowly placed the invisibility artifact he carried into his storage bag, then said in a slow, deliberate but extremely authoritative voice, "Uncle, I asked you to investigate the frequent disappearances of demonic beasts within our territory, and this is how you investigated?"
