Chapter 490 I’ll handle it
Mei You, who was quietly watching the Bai's Rice Shop in the attic, suddenly lowered her head, took out a talisman and checked it. There were only two words on it: Come quickly!

He did not dare to hesitate and left the scene quickly. After driving away from the area, he got out of the car and flew to the hillside in the city, landing outside a palace in a messy building complex halfway up the mountain.

Compared with the surrounding bizarre buildings, this hall stands out like a crane among chickens, but it cannot stop the evil aura that is floating around.

The plaque on the hall reads "Inner Court".

Sitting behind the chief's desk in the hall was a handsome man dressed in white, like a scholar. He looked young, but in fact he was second only to the chief in the city.

Like most cities, the affairs of Dazhi City are divided into inner and outer court affairs. The scholar in white is named Lou Xiu. He is the inner court chief of Dazhi City, in charge of the affairs within the city. Corresponding to him is an outer court chief, in charge of the affairs outside the city.

The so-called inside and outside the city refers to within the territory and outside the territory, not separated by a wall.

Lou Xiu was leaning on the table with his head propped up on one hand, pretending to be asleep. Mei You walked to the table, bowed and said, "Captain, what can I do for you?"

Lou Xiu remained motionless in his fake sleep and asked slowly, "You are not on the mountain at this time. Does the matter of Bai's rice shop have anything to do with you?"

Hearing this, Mei You looked around, then moved closer to the table and whispered to herself that Huang Yingying had discovered Fan Wuzhe's identity, and that she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Lou Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, staring at him intently, and said, "What on earth were you thinking? You actually sent the tax inspector to do this. Are you crazy?"

Mei You whispered, "Don't worry, Captain. We know Huang Yingying's background very well. It's a piece of cake. We've already succeeded."

A ferocious look appeared on Lou Xiu's pretty face. "Fool, that woman in the rice shop has alerted the city lord. The city lord has found Lord Axun and asked him to take action. Do you think those people under your command can escape Lord Axun's scent pursuit? As long as he smells their scent, he will remember their scent and look around the city and the mountains. No one can escape!"

"This..." Mei You was shocked when she heard that. Thinking about it, it was true. That person really had that ability. She hurriedly asked in a low voice: "We targeted the library just to buy a house for Master Xun. The place was chosen by him. How could he ruin our plan?"

Lou Xiu: "Nonsense, Master Xun has his eyes on the place, but he didn't know you would do such a thing."

Mei Youdun's face was full of confusion. He understood that although he did this for Lord Axun, he could not tell Lord Axun the truth. Now this matter was really troublesome, and he might end up shooting himself in the foot.

Thinking of this, he began to feel some resentment towards Lou Tixia. If Lou Tixia hadn't wanted to take the position of city lord and flatter Lord Axun, such a thing would not have happened. Now he really didn't know how this would end. Once the city lord knew about it, everyone would be dead.

"Can I discuss this with Lord Axun?" he asked tentatively.

"What the hell!" Lou Xiu scolded, stood up and left the desk. After walking back and forth for a few steps, he stood still, as if he had made up his mind. He suddenly turned to Mei You and said, "Notify your people immediately and tell them to run as far as they can. They can't come back until they hear from you."

Mei You immediately took out the mother-child talisman and did as instructed...

In the cave, the noise of the beating finally stopped. The beater Wu Jinliang put his hands on his hips and gasped for breath. Huang Yingying could only whimper. She had been beaten beyond recognition and looked horrible. Several of her ribs were broken.

Lao Changtai on the side was surprised. It was the first time he saw Wu Hehei lose his temper. But fortunately, he still knew to leave the man alive and only used brute force without casting any spells.

The surviving killers who were sitting against the wall were also terrified.

After calming down a bit, Wu Jinliang touched Huang Yingying's distorted face with his toes. Just as he was about to ask Huang Yingying to talk about the situation of 'Que Si Xiang', he saw the mother-child talisman thrown on the ground flashing with a faint light again. Lao Changtai picked it up and immediately showed the contents to Wu Jinliang for inspection.

The content above urged the group of killers to move away immediately, and warned them to go as far as possible and as fast as possible, and not to return without being told to do so.

"What's going on?" Lao Changtai asked in a hoarse voice.

Wu Jinliang frowned. He had no idea what was going on. He just happened to see the mother-and-child talisman and dealt with it casually. He didn't make any plans for the future. It didn't matter whether it existed or not. Or he didn't take it seriously at all. He was already prepared to throw it at the corpse dumping site, but he didn't expect a new situation to arise.

Just looking at the literal content, it seemed that the talisman seemed very urgent. He immediately took the mother-child talisman, and sent a message according to the method taught by Qiu Laosan, asking: Why?

The other side replied: Don’t ask why, just walk away, the farther the better, quickly.

Lao Changtai, who was watching from the sidelines, asked again, "What's going on?"

"Something must have happened." Wu Jinliang muttered and twisted his mouth. How could he listen to the orders from the other side? He wanted to find out the cause of the problem.

As for whether the other party was unhappy or not, that was not his concern. He was not the other party's subordinate and was not afraid of the other party's revenge. He immediately replied with nonsense: Everyone felt it was abrupt and suspicious, and they were unwilling to leave without knowing the situation.

Mei You was furious in the inner court hall. She looked back and found that Lou Tixia had disappeared.

Of course, it is understandable that the subordinates felt suspicious. They are all officials of the big city. If they run away and no one knows when they will return, how can they explain themselves when they return?

There is no other way. The most important thing now is to evacuate people urgently. It won’t be too late to deal with those guys’ procrastination later.

In order to make the group understand the seriousness of the situation and so that they could hurry up, he had to issue a clear reminder in an emergency: Lord Axun has rushed to the scene of the incident, his sense of smell can track your escape route, the farther you run, the more time you can buy, hurry up!
Wu Jinliang and Lao Changtai were both shocked when they saw the news from the mother-child talisman. Wu Jinliang immediately approached the three killers who could speak and asked, "Who is Lord Axun?"

The three of them were stunned, and then one of them quickly answered, "It was the inspector sent by the sacred mountain."

"Correct."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The other two also rushed to respond. The person in front of them was really moody and would kill someone if his mind was slightly confused. They were all afraid, lest they might confuse the other person.

The sacred mountain is the background behind Dazhi City, and the mayor of Dazhi City is appointed by the sacred mountain.

This was no secret. Wu Jinliang, who had been here for so long, also knew about it. While showing the contents of the mother-child talisman to the three people, he asked, "Does he have a keen sense of smell?"

Seeing this content, the three killers' grooves tightened and their eyes widened in horror.

Because they all had to face a dilemma. Once Master Axun arrived at the scene and smelled their scent, could they still go back? And knowing that Master Axun could track them down, how could they possibly keep them alive?
Qiu Lao San hurriedly said, "It's okay. Lord Axun has a very sensitive sense of smell, but he can only detect the smell on the ground. We came here from high in the sky on the wind scales, and the smell has long gone with the wind. He can't trace it here."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"That's right, you can't find it here."

Is that really the case? Wu Jin's eyes were filled with suspicion, or he had to be cautious, and he immediately tried to test it: "Then I will secretly take you back to the city, it should be okay, right?"

The three of them were startled. After a moment of thought, Qiu Lao San hurriedly said, "We can't go back. Lord Axun's magical powers are extraordinary. We have known about him for a long time. Although he can't chase us here, he can remember the smell of the scene. If he can't find anyone at the scene, he will definitely visit the city and its surroundings. Once he smells our scent, I'm afraid... we should do as the mother-child talisman reminds us."

Wu Jinliang tilted his head to glance at Lao Changtai, then turned back and asked, "In other words, Lord Axun was able to remember the scent we left at the scene after smelling it?"

"can."

“It should be possible.”

"But as long as we leave here and don't go back, he won't be able to do anything to us." The three of them rushed to answer again, and those who couldn't speak also wanted to answer. They knew that if they continued to be so dull, this big man who killed people without blinking an eye would sooner or later make them silent forever.

Wu Jinliang thought for a moment and asked again, "What is the level of cultivation of this Master Axun?"

Qiu Laosan: "His cultivation is not very high. It is said to be at the level of Great Perfection of Human Immortal."

The person next to him added: "He has special abilities and is highly respected in Shenshan."

Wu Jinliang was silent for a moment, then stood up and strode out. When he reached the outside of the cave, he first sent a message to the mother-and-child talisman in his hand: We have gathered and set off.

Lao Changtai, who came out later, whispered, "This may be a bit troublesome. I wonder if Lord Axun will be able to smell the scent we left inside and outside the city. I'm afraid you've been to many places where the boss is hiding, right?"

"It's been a while, so they shouldn't be able to smell it anymore. But the horse farm..." Wu Jinliang stopped muttering abruptly, knowing that once the horse farm was found, Shi Chun would no longer be able to hide. It was no secret that he had dealings with Shi Chun at the library.

Without any hesitation, he took out the mother-child talisman and contacted Shi Chun, reporting the emergency to him and discussing what to do.

The library is closed at night and the door is closed.

The tables in the front hall were put together to form a bed. This was how Shi Chun spent every night. The dim lights from the street shone through the window.

There were women living in the house at the back, and they would not allow a male outsider like him to move in without permission.

After reading the news while hiding in the quilt, he also frowned. He didn't expect that such things would come out one after another. After thinking for a while, he replied briefly: Don't act rashly, I will handle it.

He collected the mother-child talisman, lifted the quilt, listened quietly for a while, changed out of his servant's clothes, put on the precious clothes he had taken from Zhen'er in the Divine Fire Domain, put on the Buyun boots, put his feet on the ground, walked lightly to the door, and cast a spell to hold the door open.

It was not late at night, and it had not been long since nightfall, so there were still people coming and going outside.

After confirming that there was a gap for passers-by outside, he pulled out a gauze hat from thin air and put it on his head, then quickly and gently opened the door, walked out, and closed the door.

It quietly blended into the night street.

In the room with a single lamp on, Fan Wuzhe had no intention of falling asleep or meditating. He paced back and forth in the room, tangled in worry.

Mei You said that she would inform him after the matter was resolved, but she has not given any explanation until now. He is a little worried that once the truth is exposed, his father will be the first one who will not let him go.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps and Fan Wuzhe quickly returned to the couch and sat in meditation.

There was a knock on the door, and the eldest lady Dong Liangyi's voice came, "Cousin."

Fan Wuzhe quickly got up and went to open the door, only to see Dong Liangyi holding a stack of fruit plates and said, "Cousin, my father asked me to prepare some fruit for you to help you digest your food."

Fan Wuzhe quickly took it with both hands and thanked him, "Uncle, you are so thoughtful."

After Dong Liangyi bowed and said goodbye, she returned to the kitchen, stared at another stack of fruit plates and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she picked them up, walked out of the kitchen, crossed the courtyard and went straight to the front hall. When she reached the back door of the front hall, she stopped and hesitated again.

Her father didn't tell anyone else to prepare the fruit plate, so she gave some to Shi Chun as well.

Her family brought up very strictly, especially regarding gender differences. Normally, the sisters would not run to the front hall late at night because there was another man sleeping there.

Normally, they wouldn't disturb other people's rest. At night, if they had something to do, they would go in or out through the side door.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, and walked in.

Taking advantage of the street lights outside, the front hall was not dark, but the light was too dim. She tried to call out, "Wang Ping, Wang Ping..."

She shouted several times, her voice gradually getting louder, but there was still no response from inside the hall. She immediately realized something was wrong and walked towards the put-together table.

When I looked closer, I found that there was no one under the lifted blanket.

He looked around but didn't see anyone. According to Wang Ping himself, he didn't have a talent for cultivation and never cultivated at night. He always slept with his head covered.

She stretched out her hand and touched the quilt, which was still warm. She realized that Shi Chun had not been away for too long.

She went around to the door again and looked out through the crack, but didn't see anything of note.

Although he felt a little regretful for not being able to express his concern in person, he eventually placed the fruit plate next to Shi Chun's pillow and turned back to the inner house...

After leaving the city, Shi Chun took off her veil and flew away on Fenglin.

Without going anywhere else, he went straight to the scene of the incident at Zhalanpo.

They flew all the way and arrived above the Zhalan Slope. They saw a figure swaying on the slope. The figure fell directly from the sky and landed in front of several people.

There were three guards from Dacheng at the scene. When they saw Shi Chun, one of them immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Chun glanced at the three people's reactions, and seeing that they didn't recognize him, he said indifferently: "Shenshan has issued an order, where is Master Axun?"

When they heard that he came from the sacred mountain, the three of them looked respectful.

The person who had questioned just now pointed in a direction and said, "Master Xun smelled the scent and followed it all the way over there. In order to facilitate the investigation, someone will mark the road."

Shi Chun directly instructed: "Go and tell Master Axun that there is an order from the sacred mountain."

"Okay, yes." The man took the order and flew away immediately.

Shi Chun used his right eye's special ability to scan the surroundings again, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he waved casually towards the two people beside him.

The two men were stunned, not knowing what it meant. Suddenly, they both realized that they were frozen. With horror in their eyes, they watched the man draw his sword and chop them.

After several consecutive slashes, Shi Chun put away his sword, placed his hands on the two men, cast a spell to remove the immobilization spell on them, and then flew directly with them into the nearby bushes.

He simply threw the broken body away, jumped out again, and flew away on the wind scales again.

Following the direction of the person assigned earlier, he followed the bushes for a while and finally caught up with him. He collected the wind scales and landed beside him and said, "I'd better go there myself. Lead the way."

Naturally, the man had no objection and continued to look for road signs to lead the way.
