Chapter 117: All That You Once Possessed

uttering words under his breath, with utmost sincerity.It was a customary courtesy practiced before the Li Clan began forging swords, and it wasn't obligatory for others to follow.But Jiang Wang also...But the first black shadow to reveal itself passed through Fang's ancestral land and soon arrived at the ancestral hall. With a flip, it entered the ancestral hall.

Fang Zehou is now under house arrest in the ancestral hall. Fang Hueling did not mistreat him, but merely deprived him of his power and forbade him from leaving.

The shadow strode into the ancestral hall. Fang Zehou hadn't fallen asleep yet; he was kneeling before the tablets of his ancestors.

The shadow said, “Hēilíng went out. I don't think it's right. Shouldn't we…

"Let him go," Fang Zehou said without turning back. "He's grown up, he inevitably wants to prove himself."

But...

"No problem. I admit, due to my personal feelings, I lost the most talented young man from the Fang family. Now, Yun Guo's commercial routes are unreliable, and compared to the other two families, the Fang family has no future. If He Ling wants to take a gamble, let him do it."

Winning is great. If he loses, as his father, I'll cover for him. Even if it means risking the entire Fang family fortune, as long as he can truly grow, I'm willing.

The shadow said no more.

He was loyal only to Fang Zehou.

Facing He Ling's seizure of power, Fang Zehou had never been powerless to resist. He simply indulged his son's choice once again.

Jiang Wang carefully maintained his distance, the Four Spirits Refining Body technique flowing deep within him, allowing him to precisely control his body. He could keep up with his target without relying on Daoist techniques.

He didn't need to keep up with Shanghe Ling, he just needed to follow the shadow that was tracking Shanghe Ling.

Lightly dodging the patrolling city guards, three black shadows raced through the city, one after another, leaving Fenglin City from the south gate.

While the city guard's barracks were located on the south outskirts.

What does Fang Huerling want to do

Jiang Wang hesitated, unsure whether to pass any messages to Wei Yan and Zhao Lang. But thinking of the secret sentry from the Censorate still ahead, she decided against it.

Here's the translation:

The Censorate's officers would certainly have official channels to contact in the first instance. If there was truly something amiss, it wouldn't be delayed.

He quickly discovered that their forward path had been shifted.

They went far around the city guard station and continued south.

To the southeast of Fenglin City lies Phoenix Creek Town, and beyond that is the direction of Sanshan City. To the south, beyond the city guard barracks, there is only Niutou Mountain. It's strange; I've never heard of anything unusual about it.

In Jiang Wang's understanding, if there were any cults or left-path lairs, they wouldn't hide under the noses of the city guard.

The Fenglin City garrison boasts formidable strength, with Wei Yan already having broken through. Currently, they have one general and two deputy generals all at the Tenglong realm level. Adding to this are five deputy generals at the Tongtian realm, giving them the ability to stand their ground against any force. Once they deploy their formation techniques, they can even raze cities and dismantle fortresses.

But Fang Huli, actually went up to Niutoushan.

Niu Toushan has two protruding peaks that resemble cow horns, hence its name.

The peak is not high, the scenery is ordinary, there are no bandits lurking, nor ferocious beasts running rampant. Even if there were, they would have been wiped out by the well-trained soldiers of Fenglin City long ago.

But it was just such an ordinary mountain, at this time suddenly gave Jiang Wang a feeling of a monstrous beast. This sense of oppression came from nowhere.

From here, looking back at the city guard barracks, the campfires had become a scattering of stars.

Jiang Wangqiang suppressed the unease in his heart and followed the black shadow at a distance up the mountain.

Regardless, he should at least know who Fang Huelin met. That would be enough to close the case. And with his current cultivation base of eight ranks Zhou Tian realm, Purple Qi Coming East Sword complete, Dao arts Flaming Flowers Great Accomplishment, and the previous cultivators from the Criminal Investigation Division as a warning, if anything were to happen, he should be able to escape safely.

Occasionally, there are a few strange bird calls, which make the forest even quieter.

A feeling of uneasiness grew stronger.

Jiang Wang tightened his grip on the sword, but didn't draw it out. The glint of the blade could very well expose him.

"Shh..."

Suddenly a gust of fragrance wafted in, and Jiang Wang felt himself enveloped by a warmth. A hand covered his lips.

Jiang Wang's body tensed and then relaxed. He wasn't completely unresponsive; he had already realized who the visitor was.

"White lotus" When that hand slowly slid down, Jiang Wang whispered.

That hand slid from Jiang Wang's lips, grabbed his chin, and turned his face completely around.

Jiang Wang thus saw the white lotus, who was wearing that black gauze magic artifact on her face.

"How did you get here" Bai Lian's eyes were somewhat fierce, but her voice was kept very low.

It seems that even here on Mount Niutou, there are things she fears.

Jiang Wang pointed to the distance, indicating that he was following someone here.

Bái Lián released his jaw and then grabbed his hand again.

"Follow me!"

His garments fluttered, as he darted through the forest like a night bird, disappearing quickly from sight.

And almost at the same time, Fang Huliang on the mountain suddenly turned his head!

It was indeed the secret agents of the Criminal Justice Department who had been tracking Fang He Ling all this way.

He is Dan Cha's most trusted subordinate, assigned this mission because of his shrewdness and efficiency. Along the way, he has indeed been careful and cautious, always maintaining a distance.

But when he saw from afar that Fang Huerling was turning back, he already knew something was wrong.

Without a word, he took out a yellow incense stick and flicked it with his finger, ready to light it.

When Huang Xinyan burned, the Jixing Division would immediately receive the news. Huang Xinfen burning meant that the messenger had fallen into a desperate situation.

But this yellow wick...remained completely motionless, unable to be lit no matter what!

He was about to invoke the fire spell, but a slender, white hand reached out and gently pulled the yellow talisman away.

Then he felt like his whole body was light and airy, floating up into the air.

The higher it flies.

At that moment, he realized that the person standing there, frozen in place and still holding the hand gestures, was himself.

What was he at this moment A soul

He was astonished, he struggled, but it was already pointless.

Immediately, a sharp and intense pain surged over him, engulfing him entirely. It tore through him, shattering him to pieces.

The man wearing a white bone mask let go gently, allowing the shattered soul to dissipate.

Here is the text translated to English:

“It’s someone from the Censorate.” He chuckled softly, “Dan Cha is truly courageous.”

Fang He Ling stood in the forest, watching from afar as the White Bone Messenger drew out souls and searched for their essence.

He couldn't suppress the chill that welled up from deep within him, but his expression remained composed.

From the moment he chose to put his father under house arrest, he understood the kind of choice he had made.

This is his own choice.

He could only rely on himself now. He had to grow up, and there was no turning back.

“I’ve been flagged by the authorities. What should I do next” he asked.

"This person's death is equivalent to admitting that I have a problem."

“Do you have any questions” The Bone Messenger’s voice was full of surprise. “It is normal for a scout to die while on duty, isn’t it Who can say for sure that his death has anything to do with you”

"Master," Fang He Ling felt a bit stifled, also a bit helpless: "I'm truly doing things for you, I've done everything I should have done, there is no way back! You shouldn't toy with me anymore."

"No, no, no. I'm not teasing you. I'm being serious with you. If the Censorate investigated the Fang family, what do you think they would find"

"No. I've cleaned up all the loose ends. And to be honest...I don't really know what purpose those things you had me do served. The Criminal Investigation Division couldn't find anything either."

Let them check then.

Fang He-ling sighed: "But sometimes they don't need evidence."

“Dealing with ordinary people is indeed like that,” the White Bone Messenger smiled. “But don’t forget, you are a student of the Daoist Academy.”

"I'm indeed a suspect, and the Daoist Academy may not protect me."

"Poor fool, you have no idea what you possess." The Bone Messenger laughed twice and turned towards the mountains: "Today's events are cancelled. Go back now."yang's body too much, affecting his use. He moved his lips a few times, but in the end, he didn't dare speak.At this moment, it was Zhao Che who spoke."I hope you won't mind me reminding you of someth...
