Chapter 194: Chapter 126: Shanhai Demon Alliance, Karma of Good and Evil (Three-in-One) (Part 4)

"A few months ago, the Divine Farmer Bureau secretly dispatched many disciples to Yong’an State, including two Grandmasters, but I don’t know their purpose... It’s said that a miraculous Spiritual Treasure is about to emerge, but I don’t know if it’s true or not."

Wu Man added, "However, this month, the Divine Farmer Bureau has been quiet; they even recalled someone. It seems they sent the original three Grandmasters guarding the Bureau to the border to intercept someone, but they died mysteriously..."

Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t expect that in just two days, news had already spread within the Yang Kingdom’s territory.

Before he "died," he also sensed, at the edge of the battlefield, the presence of four Grandmasters, one of whom was Shen Xingzhu, and the other three were likely from the Divine Farmer Bureau.

These three Grandmasters must have been killed by my senior brother, right?

"I also know quite a lot about the internal affairs of the Divine Farmer Bureau. If senior wishes to hear, I will certainly speak without reservation."

Wu Man intuitively felt that the White Dragon True Monarch seemed interested in this topic, and quickly signaled her willingness to talk.

Chen Kuang neither confirmed nor denied, only saying, "Oh? The internal affairs of the Divine Farmer Bureau are surely secrets. If you tell me, how will you explain it to Uncle Wang Yang?"

"Are you going to betray him?"

Wu Man’s breath caught, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I’m merely working for Uncle Wang Yang for the sake of profit... It can’t be called betrayal."

Chen Kuang said, "Then what about this box of official silver...?"

Wu Man hurriedly replied, "It’s a tribute to the senior! I also know the location of the remaining official silver and can inform the senior of all of it!"

She opened her mouth and spat, and another three boxes of official silver fell to the ground.

Chen Kuang couldn’t help but think, indeed, the more money there is, the more it comes... it keeps coming by itself!

Chen Kuang said, "Since that’s the case, lead the way then."

Life was spared! Wu Man let out a great sigh of relief and said, "Of course!"

"Just..." She hesitated, "Senior, won’t you show yourself?"

Chen Kuang said, "Once you walk out the door, you will see me."

Wu Man swallowed a mouthful of blood, cautiously glanced at Liu Qingcheng, who had been watching the whole one-man show and standing awkwardly to the side, then turned and walked out the door.

Outside, the hallway was empty, with only the shimmering waves of the Rouge River, and the distant sound of a zither had stopped.

With her heart uneasy, Wu Man took a couple of cautious steps forward and tentatively called out, "Senior?"

Suddenly, Chen Kuang’s voice came from right behind her, almost at her ear.

"I’m here."

Wu Man’s heart jolted, and before she had time to turn around, she felt a warmth at her throat.

She looked down to see blood gushing out, and immediately her vision went black as she fell straight forward.

Chen Kuang squinted his eyes, retracted the sword in his hand, and casually twirled it in a flourish.

This sword was soft, with no trace of forging, basically just a thin, soft iron sheet, without edges on either side, even the tip was blunt.

Liu Qingcheng exclaimed, "My performance sword!"

Indeed, it was the one originally placed in Liu Qingcheng’s room, used for performing sword dances, with no lethal capability... It was supposed to be like that.

Chen Kuang turned his head to look at her, throwing the sword back to her.

"Just borrowed it for a bit, don’t worry, it’s not dirty."

"Intended Sword" consumes too much mental effort; naturally, a sneak attack is more convenient.

The passive effect of "Sword Heart" was indeed formidable; as long as it was a sword, it could be wielded at will to achieve the desired effect.

Liu Qingcheng hurriedly caught it, and upon closer inspection, the smooth and shiny blade was indeed free of any bloodstains, perfectly clean!

Liu Qingcheng was stunned, standing in place.

She never imagined that this soft-as-cotton prop sword could one day be used to kill someone!

Plucking flowers or leaves, both could be used to wound, wasn’t that it?

Chen Kuang waved his hand, and the conjured "Indestructible Flame" immediately enveloped Wu Man’s body, reducing it to ashes.

After a moment of daze, Liu Qingcheng finally reacted, cautiously looking at the pile of ashes, and asked:

"You, you just killed her like that... What about the rest of the official silver, and the intelligence? Do you not want them anymore?"

Chen Kuang squinted his eyes and said, "Someone will naturally come forward to tell me."

The status bar in his view refreshed twice.

For the first time, it showed content beyond the passive abilities.
