Creation Color Master

Chapter 22 Floating Cloud Black Market

The weather in summer changes suddenly. The starry night sky was soon covered by dark clouds. Lightning flashed across the night sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell down.

In the pouring rain, eight people and eight horses ran on the official road to Floating Cloud City, and their horses' hooves created splashes of water.

This is bound to be a sleepless night.

Wang Hong was alone, looking at the halo of light emitted by the candlelight in front of him, listening to the sound of heavy rain falling on the green tiles, and recalling what the governor Sun Anzheng said at noon. A figure lingered in his mind.

Sun Anzheng stayed overnight in the military camp in the north of Yong'an Town. The commander here, Sun Chao, was both his subordinate and a member of his family's collateral branch.

Sun Anzheng was holding a document in his hand, and it was obvious that he was staring at the heavy rain outside the house in a daze, looking a little absent-minded.

At Hanyang Pass, Zhao Pu was in the military camp, also deep in thought.

But what no one knows is that the Hundred Beasts Gang of Floating Cloud City is being slaughtered by a group of mysterious people.

The next day, the entire Floating Cloud City was shaken, because at dawn, the night watchman, wearing a straw raincoat, was going home from get off work as usual, but when he passed by the Beast Gang, he found that the gate was open, and he took a look inside and was almost scared to death.

In the lobby, the night watchman was kneeling on the ground trembling with fear. Above him sat an official in official uniform with a serious face. This person was Zhou Zijin, the lord of Fuyun City.

Zhou Zijin said with a serious face: "My lord, I want to ask you, did you find anything unusual in the Hundred Beasts Gang before you reported it to the police?"

The night watchman said, "Sir, I was just going home normally. I accidentally saw you outside the door. I didn't go in at all and didn't notice anything unusual."

Zhou Zijin asked again: "How many times did you pass by the Beast Gang last night? Did you hear any fighting? Think about it carefully. If I find out that you are lying, I will kill you."

The night watchman was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, I have to beat the watch five times a night, and I have to pass by the Beast Gang every time. I really didn't hear anything."

At this time, an old man with gray hair and wearing linen clothes walked into the hall and whispered in Zhou Zijin's ear, "Sir, the autopsy results are out. He should have died between the second and third watches. Due to the heavy rain last night, the murderer did not leave any traces. Judging from the wounds, there should be only two people. They are military monks with high cultivation. Almost all of their moves were fatal. Even the somewhat famous Crazy Rhino was fatal with one blow."

Zhou Zijin heard this and looked at the night watchman in the hall and said, "Let's stop here today, but the work is not over yet. I will summon you when needed."

The night watchman nodded quickly and said, "I will cooperate with you." Then he left quickly.

At this time, another person led a group of people into the hall, walked quickly to Zhou Zijin, and said, "Sir, I checked around, and even the people around didn't hear any fighting last night; and we couldn't find any trace of the murderer, as if he disappeared out of thin air."

Zhou Zijin took off his hat with a headache and rubbed his brows. The governor had just reminded him yesterday, and now such a big thing happened in Fuyun City under his jurisdiction.

Just as Zhou Zijin was about to go to the crime scene to check it out, his subordinates cautiously said, "Sir, there is one thing I find suspicious. The Hundred Beasts Gang originally had ten leaders and more than 300 subordinates, which was considered a first-rate force in Floating Cloud City. But only one leader was found dead last night. Where did the others go?"

Zhou Zijin was inspired when he heard this and said, "Go and check it out for me. This may be the key to solving the case."

Not long after, the man came back to report, "Sir, I heard that Tiger King took several other leaders and hundreds of brothers to Yong'an Town yesterday. Moreover, I also found out that the Hundred Beasts Gang seemed to have a secret, because three of the leaders left half a month ago or even earlier, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Suddenly, Zhou Zijin thought of something, and quickly wrote a letter, asking his confidant to go to Yong'an Town.

After destroying the Hundred Beasts Gang, Yang Yanping and his eight companions returned with the gang's assets, including a large amount of money and silver bills, skins and bones of various monsters, elixirs, etc., but only a few precious things.

Only one spiritual object was found: the spirit bead.

There are also several magical herbs: Green Water Lily, Cloud Flower, Prayer Grass and Purple Sword Bamboo.

When he saw several spiritual objects, Yan Yonghe directly collected the cloud flower and wishing grass, while the green duckweed and water lily were planted in the pond by Chu Mo.

The purple-veined sword bamboo was planted by Zhang Jiao in a corner of the theater. It was said that it could serve as the eye of the formation and was also conducive to the refining of the Gengjin talisman.

At the same time, on his way back, Yang Yanping heard a piece of news about the spiritual object Forget-Me-Not that helped him break through the second realm.

Seven days later, an auction will be held in the black market of Fuyun City, and news about the forget-me-not will spread from the auction.

I have to go to this auction no matter what.

Also, although the Hundred Beasts Gang is destroyed now, Chen Gong learned from the memory of the Wise Fox that the real person behind the scenes is still in Floating Cloud City.

The destruction of the Beast Gang is just a warning. If that person is still blind, I don't mind sending him to death.

Early in the morning, the heavy rain that had rained all night had stopped, and the fresh air made people feel more relaxed.

Last night, Zhang Jiao set up an altar on the third floor of the theater and used the weather to refine the Guishui Talisman and the Siyu Talisman.

Now the "Hunyuan Wuji Formation" has added two more formation centers, and its power has increased again.

Sun Anzheng in Zhenbei also received Zhou Zijin's message early in the morning. When he saw the contents of the letter, he was angry and shocked.

Since I am in Yong'an Town, I might as well investigate and see what secrets this small town has.

At the same time, Sun Anzheng also found Wang Hong and told him the contents of the letter in detail. Because Wang Hong was the actual controller of Yong'an Town, he believed in Wang Hong's character, and the two of them also had a life-and-death friendship on the battlefield.

After Wang Hong finished reading the letter, even though he had seen a lot of storms and waves, he was still unable to recover for a long time.

He naturally knew what the people in the Hundred Beasts Gang were like now, because he also wanted to take action at that time, but he did not expect that that person could actually destroy the entire Hundred Beasts Gang.

After organizing his thoughts, Wang Hong said, "Brother Sun, I do know a little about this matter, but it involves quite a lot. How about you come with me later?"

Sun Anzheng looked at Wang Hong in surprise and said, "Brother, are you involved in this as well?"

Wang Hong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Do you know that there is a theater in Yong'an Town?"

Sun Anzheng said with a puzzled look on his face: "Of course I know about it. I heard it's quite famous. I've also heard about it in other places."

Wang Hong smiled and said, "Now, the head of the theater is named Chu Mo. Three years ago, his father was killed while performing outside. This child has a miserable life. It took him three years to open the theater to such a scale. Now, for some reason, the Beast Gang came to Yong'an Town with the same purpose."

Sun Anzheng fell into deep thought after hearing this, and asked carefully after a long while: "Brother, is everything you said true?"

Wang Hong said: "I was at the theater at the time and saw it with my own eyes. If Yong'er hadn't informed me of your arrival, I would have already taken action."

Sun Anzheng looked at Wang Hong, who had a serious face, and asked in confusion: "Since you didn't make a move, how could a small theater be a match for the Beast Gang?"

Wang Hong said: "That's exactly what I want to say. If it was before, we were no match. But a few days ago, a Confucian scholar suddenly came to the theater and acted as the theater's steward. His identity is mysterious and his cultivation is not bad. I just don't know what his purpose is?"

Sun Anzheng asked, "Brother, do you mean that we should go meet him together?"

Hearing this, Wang Hong nodded.
