Chen Shi took out a Fire Talisman and threw it down; the Fire Talisman fell along the well’s wall, illuminating the surroundings.
However, as the Fire Talisman fell deeper and deeper, descending about a hundred ters into the well, it still didn’t reach the bottom.
"How deep exactly is this well?" The two of them were sowhat startled.
When the Fire Talisman burned out, it finally reached the bottom of the well, where clear water lay beneath, very transparent and devoid of the so-called Dragon King.
As the Fire Talisman began to extinguish, suddenly, in front of the clear water, a huge and rough eyelid slid open, pushing the water aside.
When the eyelid slid open, a massive eye was pressed against the bottom of the well, staring back at the two n.
Chen Shi and Yu Lingzi quickly ducked their heads, their hearts pounding wildly.
"Yu Lingzi, this place has already beco a ground for disputes. I fear it won’t be long before soone cos here and discovers the disappearance of these young lords and ladies."
Chen Shi stood up and walked out, saying, "Let’s hurry! Black Pot, you take care of the aftermath."
Black Pot followed behind, altering the mories of those they encountered.
The two left Qixia Temple and rushed towards the city outskirts, Yu Lingzi’s heart still fluttering uneasily, constantly feeling that what he had done was not completely flawless.
Chen Shi took out a Heavenly Court Token and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Yu Lingzi, from now on, we are on the sa side. It’s not advisable for you to stay in Western Capital, go to the high mountains county to lay low. Once you arrive, search for Yu Tiancheng from the Red Mountain Hall; he will explain the origin of the token to you."
Yu Lingzi also worried about staying in Western Capital might expose him. He imdiately bid farewell and headed for the high mountains county, thinking, "Little Uncle truly considers one of his own."
He arrived at the county and entered the Red Mountain Hall’s branch to et Yu Tiancheng.
Yu Tiancheng, having seen the token, smiled and said, "Has the True King told you about the principles of the Heavenly Court? We, the Heavenly Court, are a secret organization under the Independent, dedicated to rebellion. Having the token, you either join the rebellion or face death."
Yu Lingzi’s spirits lifted, "I’m really on board now!"
Seeing that he was far from scared but instead eager to try, Yu Tiancheng knew he was kindred spirit and said, "In our Heavenly Court, we all have different codenas. I’m codenad Moon Rabbit, Zhuge Jian is codenad Archivist. What will you use for your codena?"
After thinking, Yu Lingzi said, "I will use Taoist as my codena."
anwhile, Chen Shi arrived at Guangji Storehouse, also feeling a bit apprehensive. He stayed until the afternoon, then took Black Pot and the wooden cart back.
Upon approaching the gates of West Capital City, he vigilantly watched the city guards, noticing many Divine chanism Camp experts ard with large guns, interrogating the passersby.
Chen Shi’s eyes twitched, and as he approached the city gate, the Divine Machine Camp soldiers recognized him, saying, "Mr. Xiao Chen, no need to check, let him pass. Mr. Xiao Chen, you seem a bit unwell, did you enjoy yourself too much at the Apricot Blossom Tower yesterday? Sir, I have so strong kidney fortifying pills here, supposedly made by the Red Mountain Hall’s pharmacist, would you like so?"
The Divine Machine Camp weapons were controlled by the Guangji Storehouse, so the mbers knew better than to offend Mr. Xiao Chen.
"Strong kidney fortifying pills? Made by Huang Fengnian? He’s quite efficient. When did he join the Red Mountain Hall?"
Suppressing his doubts, Chen Shi asked, "What are you searching for?"
"King Xiao’s grandson launched a night attack on the Divine chanism Camp, abducting our leader. We suspect King Xiao’s grandson might enter the capital, so we are searching the passersby," replied the frustrated Divine chanism Camp soldier.
"Your leader is..."
"Military Officer Jin Hongying."
Chen Shi was surprised. Wasn’t it always Jin Hongying who had King Xiao’s grandson running all over the place? How has King Xiao’s grandson beco so bold as to infiltrate the Divine chanism Camp and abduct Jin Hongying?
"The hen crows at dawn; there must be sothing strange going on!" he thought to himself.
Since the Divine chanism Camp was not there to catch him, he entered the city feeling at ease.
Just as he entered the city, soone suddenly patted his shoulder, and a voice in his ear said, "Murdering the offspring of the Thirteen Families yet daring to enter the city so openly, you’ve got guts!"
Chen Shi shuddered; the small temple was filled with iron thorns over a ter high, ready to be thrown. But this voice was sowhat familiar.
Chen Shi turned around, a familiar face ca into view. Creation Little Five, resembling Chen Tang, wore a Scholar Robe and was slightly taller, smiling at him.
"Cre... Uncle Chen Wu!" Chen Shi was both startled and pleased.
Creation Little Five snorted, "Don’t be so affectionate. I am Creation Little Five, not Chen Wu. Don’t call uncle; even if you called dad, I wouldn’t agree. I’m just teasing you; don’t think I have any family affection for you."
He paused, then added, "Your grandfather has killed several tis; that score hasn’t been settled with you Chens yet..."
Chen Shi interrupted him, saying, "Uncle, ever since you left that day, I’ve been thinking about you."
Creation Little Five fell silent, then suddenly burst into laughter. After a mont, his expression suddenly turned stern, and he coldly said, "If you ever think of using familial ties to bind again, I’ll break your neck! Understand? Follow ."
Chen Shi obediently followed him into the city, with Black Pot also becoming extrely docile.
Creation Small Five said, "You did a good job at Qixia Temple, quite to my taste, but the work was too rough, leaving many clues. You didn’t kill everyone who saw you. Do you think you can just alter other people’s mories with this dog and nothing can be restored? You underestimate the Thirteen Families."
Chen Shi was startled, "Can the Thirteen Families trace it back to ?"
"Yes."
Creation Little Five said, "But not anymore. I’ve already killed everyone at Qixia Temple who saw you. And the traces of the Thunder Law you left, I’ve erased them too. I’m not doing this for your good."
He added, "I want to see you defeat Chen Tang!"
