Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

Chapter 489 - 9: Sun and Moon Divine Jade (Part 2)

"Hmm?"

Black Wind Ascendant’s expression changed:

"How do you know?"

This matter is secret, and only a handful of people know about it. In fact, if I hadn’t let it slip while drunk once, no one would know about it.

Even so,

Black Wind Ascendant had considered killing to silence all those who knew, even if they were trusted confidants.

"?"

A flash of spiritual light in the sea of consciousness, Black Wind Ascendant lowered his voice:

"Was it you who killed Zhu Gui?"

"Yes." Fang Zheng showed surprise:

"Senior could actually guess that."

"Hmph!"

Black Wind Ascendant snorted coldly:

"I knew he couldn’t be trusted. If it weren’t for needing him at the time, I would have taken care of him long ago."

"Heh..." Fang Zheng chuckled lightly:

"Tell me, where is the thing?"

After knowing about this, he specifically investigated Black Wind Ascendant.

This person was originally just a local ruffian in a county town, who joined the bandits after having no other way out.

He probably started real cultivation when he was over twenty.

However, he had ’extraordinary talent’ and showcased his skills on the path of magic within a few short years, and there was no stopping him afterwards.

In his early thirties, he became a Mage.

Under forty, he became a Great Mage renowned in a region!

Now over eighty, within the entire Zhaonan Prefecture, under Master and Martial Sect, no one dares to claim easy victory over him.

Even so,

If he hadn’t started cultivation late, he might already be a Master, but even so, he still has hopes of breaking through.

He’s said to be undefeated below Master level.

Such experiences, in others’ eyes, naturally seem like late blooming and extraordinary talent. But Fang Zheng knew it was probably due to external help.

Just what could make a street thug transform into a supposed gifted cultivation prodigy?

Of course, he was curious.

"Haha..."

Black Wind Ascendant laughed up at the sky:

"Boy, do you think I’d tell you?"

"Whether you’ll talk or not might not be up to you." Fang Zheng’s face turned cold.

"Threatening me?" Black Wind Ascendant narrowed his eyes slightly with a cold sneer:

"I’m still a Great Mage after all. Sealing my primordial spirit, even if cut into a thousand pieces, I fear nothing."

"Junior!"

"Go ahead and try all the tricks you have. If I’m afraid of you, I’ll take your last name in my next life!"

Fang Zheng shook his head.

Even though Black Wind Ascendant was a Great Mage, he clearly hadn’t changed his rogue nature from the past.

Boastful, ostentatious, vulgar in speech...

Could such a person be inwardly wise?

Absolutely impossible!

He stood up, giving up his seat behind him, only to find a simple magic altar had unknowingly been set up there.

"Soul Capturing?"

As a Great Mage, Black Wind Ascendant immediately saw Fang Zheng’s intentions with disdain on his face:

"Using the Soul Capturing Technique on a Great Mage to extract secrets from the heart? You’re dreaming!"

Not to mention Fang Zheng’s cultivation in magic was far inferior to his, even a Master might not succeed.

"Really?"

Fang Zheng’s expression remained unchanged, as he retrieved several transparent bottles containing liquid from his Qiankun Bag and placed them in front of him.

"Senior, do you know what these are?"

"Heh..."

He chuckled and shook his head:

"I suppose you wouldn’t know, these things are called sedatives, capable of blocking the human brain’s nerves."

"Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand."

"Just know that these things are prepared by me specifically for people like you, senior."

As he spoke, he drew the drug into a syringe and injected dozens of doses of sedative into Black Wind Ascendant’s body.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Speak!"

Fang Zheng’s face was serious:

"Where is the thing?"

Opposite him, Black Wind Ascendant’s eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, convulsing back and forth.

"Quickly, speak!"

Fang Zheng clasped his hands in a seal, focused fully on the Soul Capturing Technique, allowing his true qi to pour out furiously, asking word by word:

"Where is the thing?"

"In..."

"In Black Wind Stronghold... south... in the grove..."

For a long time.

Fang Zheng, drenched in sweat, gasped as he lay back on the ground, only after a long time did he regain a little strength and struggled to get up.

"What a pity!"

"Only managed to ask where the item is, but couldn’t find out the cultivation skill, nor how to refine the Black Wind Gourd."

"Sun and Moon Divine Jade..."

"Such a wondrous item exists in the world?"

......

In a daze, Li Shu suddenly opened her eyes.

"Shua!"

She instinctively reached out, grasping the long spear beside her. It calmed her upon touching it, then immediately she realized something was wrong.

She should have been defeated and fainted by Black Wind Ascendant.

Logically,

She should have been sealed up at the acupoints, her freedom restricted. Why was her true qi circulating unhindered now?

Only her injuries made it somewhat sluggish.

Struggling to sit up, she looked around; this seemed to be a valley, with a simple thatched hut not far away.

To the side, not far away, stood a vibrant willow tree, with a tomb without an epitaph beneath it.

On the tomb,

Bloomed a few white flowers, two by two, complementing each other, swaying gently in the breeze.

"The Commandery Princess is awake?"

A familiar voice rang out, Fang Zheng appeared nearby, carrying a bucket of water, nodding towards Li Shu:

"This is my place in the mountains, known to very few, and there’s no outsiders."

At the same time, he gestured:

"I’ve cooked some porridge. Would you like to try some?"

"..." Li Shu swallowed, slowly nodding:

"Alright."

The hot porridge steamed, with grains, minced meat, and a few green vegetables mixed, its light aroma whetting the appetite.

Li Shu took up a wooden spoon, stirring the hot porridge, and asked:

"Where is Black Wind Ascendant?"

"He’s dead."

"Did you kill him?"

"Yes."

Fang Zheng nodded:

"When I arrived, Black Wind Ascendant was already severely injured, and it was easy to take him down by surprise."

He then took out Black Wind Ascendant’s gourd and turtle shell.

"Seriously injured..." Li Shu was pensive:

"Seems he wasn’t able to fully evade the Four Symbols Magic Sword, greatly reducing his strength, making it normal for a Flawless Martial Artist to ambush and kill him."
