One can imagine how complicated Langwu's mood was when he saw Captain Fire's body.

A colleague of many years died in the village.

"Since we are sure that the weirdness is in the village, why not put the ancient formation into full operation to kill the weirdness. The formation in Mo Village should be able to cover the entire village."

"..."

Captain Langwu fell silent and looked at Fang Yue for a while before speaking slowly.

"I can't do this."

"Why?"

"Because the ancient formation has been severely depleted, if the energy of the formation is fully activated and covers the entire village, it will only take a short while for the entire formation to completely collapse. By then, Mo Village will be lost.

The barrier we rely on for survival, everything is over."

how come……

Fang Yue was stunned.

He suddenly understood why Captain Langwu made such a heavy promise.

It almost cost the villages affiliated to Guyue Village to take refuge with Master Han.

It turns out that their Mo Village formation was not a problem of serious wear and tear, but that it was about to end its lifespan.

"A long time ago, our ancient formation in Mo Village was already operating at extremely low power. Even if we invest more resources, we cannot reduce the rate of formation loss. What I can do is to delay the formation's complete

Time is broken, and we are looking for a new way out for Mo Village. If I explode all the final energy of the formation now, Mo Village will be doomed."

Fang Yue frowned: "...it won't be finished."

"What?"

"Mo Village will not be doomed, even without the formation. So many villages are not protected by formations. So many villages can survive just by relying on the protection of captains and guards. Naturally, you, Mo Village, can do the same!

Even without the formation, your starting point is already much higher than that of all other villages."

Captain Langwu looked a little ugly when he heard this.

"It's different... without the formation, Mo Village will lose all advantages, and casualties will increase dramatically. Most of our village's guards rarely face strange things, and they just patrol the village and take care of daily security.

Let them face a world full of dangers again, and they will surely die."

"That's their business."

"...Stop talking. I will not let Mo Village lose the ancient formation! At least until Master Han agrees to protect Mo Village, I will risk my life to keep the formation functioning."

Captain Langwu was resolute, but Fang Yue shook her head.

"What about the weird guy in the village who killed Captain Fire? To be able to kill a second-rate acquired warrior in such a weird way, you should understand the danger of this weird guy. If you don't activate the formation, why don't you just let it go?

?"

"I will continue to operate the formation at low efficiency to ensure that the weird one cannot escape from the village and that no weird one sneaks into the village again. As for the weird one in the village, we are trying to catch a turtle in a jar. As long as we find out which area the weird one is hiding in,

I immediately increased the strength of the formation in that area to kill Weiyi at the minimum cost!

If the weird one is not strong, then let us kill it. Captain Ye, don’t think that Captain Fire died silently, just take a high look at those weird ones. Sometimes, even the black-level and mid-level weird ones can kill them.

You can kill instantly at the same level. But if you meet a first-rate acquired warrior like me, you will be defeated."

Captain Langwu's attitude was very firm, and Fang Yue understood immediately.

Captain Langwu came here this time just to inform him and hope that he could assist him. He did not really come to him to discuss countermeasures.

"This method of yours will kill a lot of people." Fang Yue frowned.

"Without the ancient formation, more people will die." Captain Langwu did not give in.

Fang Yue stared at Captain Langwu for a while, and finally shrugged.

"You are the captain of Mo Village, you have the final say. How do you want me to help you?"

"Captain Fire is dead. I need a strong man to assist Captain Wu, who can suppress public opinion and lead a team to search for the strange whereabouts. To the outside world... I will claim that Captain Fire died of poisoning and the murderer was a human.

The [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] you mentioned before is very suitable. Go get some and apply it on Captain Fire’s corpse.”

While saying this, Captain Langwu was staring at Fang Yue closely, observing any reaction from Fang Yue.

After falling silent, Fang Yue said, "Are you testing me?"

"No."

"... During the day, I heard a rumor that someone wanted to poison Captain Fire with [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison], so I thought she was poisoned to death at first."

Captain Langwu frowned, thought for a while, sighed, and said: "...I can probably think of the people who started the rumor. When this matter is settled, I will go and talk to them."

Next, Fang Yue discussed the details with Captain Langwu, and soon Captain Wu also opened the door in a panic.

"Captain Fire is dead? What happened!"

He was the last to hear the news. Fang Yue and Captain Langwu looked at each other and told Captain Wu briefly about the matter, and the three of them continued to discuss.

The death of a captain has a huge impact, especially Mo Village, which is known for its safety.

Fortunately, being killed by outsiders is more reassuring than being killed by strange people.

The brief discussion ended quickly.

Fang Yue thought for a while and asked: "Which of you has [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison]?"

"[Qi-cold corpse poison]?"

Captain Wu was a little confused, his eyes were still blood red.

Although Captain Fire doesn't have a good relationship with him, after all, they have been colleagues for so many years and still have feelings for each other.

Captain Langwu said.

"There are some in the warehouse of my mansion. I will ask the butler to bring them to you later, but you have to do it more secretly."

"I will take care of it. Also, how many people know about the death of Captain Fire now?"

"Very few. Only the people in Lang Mansion know about it. I issued a death order and had people block the news so that no one would leak the secret. At the same time, I asked all the villagers to return to their homes and implement a temporary curfew."

After discussing for a while, Fang Yue got the [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] from the housekeeper, took the token of Captain Langwu, and left the Lang Mansion.

Heading straight to the scene of the incident, Fang Yue soon felt the place.

Using Captain Langwu's token to clear the way, the members of the guard team who were guarding there all made way.

Fang Yue first observed Captain Fire's body for a while.

That delicate face was always frozen in an expression of shock and horror, and her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen some extremely terrifying scene before she died.

Fang Yue turned her back to everyone, and when others were not paying attention, she directly stuffed [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] into Captain Fire's mouth with her hand wrapped in internal energy.

[Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] is actually a thin piece of crushed ice. It does not show strong toxicity from its appearance. It only becomes toxic when it comes into contact with the skin or is ignited by fire.

When lit with fire, [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] will not melt like conventional crushed ice, but will directly vaporize and turn into smoke, which can be used in combination with other spices.

But now, this is no longer necessary.

After all, contact with the skin is more toxic and effective than normal dispersion.

The crushed ice melted in Captain Fire's mouth.

After a while, some frost appeared on Captain Fire's body, his skin became paler, and there were signs of poisoning, which worsened and eventually showed complete poisoning.

At this point, the disguise of death by poisoning has been completed.

While Fang Yue was disposing of the body, Captain Wu had already led his men to search from house to house.

In name, they are looking for the murderer, but in fact, they are looking for hidden secrets.

When Captain Wu found Wei Liang's house, her pupils suddenly shrank.

"What?! Fire Captain is dead?!"

First I was shocked, then I was overjoyed.

She quickly asked why and how she died, and then she learned... Captain Fire died from [Cold Qi Corpse Poison]!

how come?!

Wei Liang's face changed slightly.

Besides me, does anyone else have [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison]? And they were all used on Captain Fire?

Who did it? Who killed Captain Fire?

Although the fire captain died and her plan was inexplicably successfully completed, Wei Liang still felt faintly worried in her heart.

One night passed quickly.

The next day, everyone in the village knew about Captain Fire's death. He died at the hands of humans and was poisoned!

"How could it be...Captain Fire...Captain Fire...wuwuwu..."

"Who is it! Which unscrupulous bastard killed Captain Fire! I must find out and avenge Captain Fire!"

Although Captain Fire usually has a bad attitude towards businessmen, he is dedicated to his duties towards civilians and has a stable public sentiment.

So many people are filled with indignation and want to contribute to this matter.

Things began to get worse. Wei Liang took advantage of every opportunity to arrange his own people to test the appointment of the next captain, and at the same time sent people to investigate the cause of Captain Huo's death.

In the end... he really died because of [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison]!

In the end, what happened?

Wei Liang was both excited and worried.

She quickly thought of someone.

Half an hour later, she sat face to face with that person in the room.

The first sentence Wei Liang spoke went straight to the point.

"Captain Fire...did you kill him?"

Fang Yue raised her head in surprise.

Ah this...

Fang Yue was thinking about shaking her head when suddenly something moved in her heart. She slowly stood up, looked at her condescendingly, and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I killed the person."

"really!"

While Wei Liang was shocked, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But why... you were so resistant before, but now you suddenly kill her?

And why don't you cooperate with me? She is an acquired second-rate expert after all. If I lure her into the carriage first, cover the smell of [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison] with the scent of spices, wait until the poisonous gas enters her body, and then you take action, everything will be easy

a lot of.

I can even help you arrange the aftermath, disguise it as an accident, instead of causing such a fuss now."

Fang Yue didn't know how to respond to this, so she turned her face sideways and said, "...are you teaching me how to do things?"

Wei Liang:?!!

Hey, why is this guy so masculine all of a sudden?

"Well...if you don't want to say that, forget it. But where did you get [Qi-Cold Corpse Poison]? And why did you want to kill her? What are your plans next?"

"..."

"Forget it if you don't tell me. Since you are the one who killed the person, I will send someone to your house for the reward mentioned earlier, 5 fire leaves and 5 black stones. Also, have you changed your mind about the captain of Mo Village?

?”

When Wei Liang said this, her tone slightly increased, implying a threat.

It seems that she wants to use Fang Yue to kill Captain Huo and force Fang Yue to assist her.

but……

Fang Yue glanced at her: "I will keep the things, and don't do unnecessary things."

"...I am sensible. I have a long time to come, so I am not in a hurry."

Wei Liang showed a self-righteous and mysterious smile, feeling that everything was under control.

Fang Yue ignored her, left Weiliang Mansion, and walked out.

"Damn! I thought this woman suddenly said she had something important to ask of me because she had some weird information, but this is what happened?"

But after all, she suddenly got a lot of benefits from prostitution, and Fang Yue didn't have the nerve to slander her.

As the news of Captain Fire's death spread, the atmosphere in the village became more and more solemn, and at the same time, outsiders like Fang Yue became more and more hostile.

The original material procurement plan of the Guyue Village craftsmen has been affected.

Fang Yue and Captain Wu continued to search the village, but after searching for a whole day, there was still no trace of anything strange.

Night falls.

The three of them got together to exchange information.

"Why can't I find any trace?"

"I don't know, it's so weird...the hiding ability is so terrifying, I really can't imagine them entering and exiting the village at will."

"What should I do now? Continue searching?"

"continue."

Captain Langwu and Captain Wu were talking, but Fang Yue suddenly interrupted.

"Captain Wu, besides being weird, did you find out anything about the two men in black robes I asked you to check?"

"No. According to the Black Crow Merchant Group, that kind of black robe is very weird. No matter what the identity is, as long as you put on the black robe, you can transform into the form of a black mist man and hide your identity.

According to your statement, the last people Fire Captain saw were the two of them. Either one of them was Weird, or Captain Fire interrogated them before being killed by Weird.

I know the importance of these two people, and I also informed the people below to pay attention, but as long as others take off their black robes, it is impossible for us to recognize them, and there is no way to investigate them."

"Yes... they must be in the village. If we find them, we can find out the cause of Captain Fire's death."

While the three of them were talking about this, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open.

"Captain Langwu! The man in black robe has been found!!"

What?!

The three of them stood up almost at the same time.

"lead the way!"

Captain Wu grabbed the man and rushed out. Captain Langwu was about to follow when Fang Yue suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Captain Langwu, you return to the formation, take charge of the overall situation, and activate the [Partial Powerful Formation] at any time, subject to the signal."

"...Okay! Then be careful!"

After hesitating for a moment, Captain Langwu nodded and left in the other direction.

Fang Yue then rushed towards the direction where Captain Wu left.

…

Time, go back to a few minutes ago.

In the dark wooden house, Hei Da silently looked through the only gap to the night sky outside.

…can’t get out.

He looked back at Ma Ling'er, who was a little impatient and impatient.

The young royal family members have not yet understood that they are trapped in Mo Village.

Different from the previous formation intensity, although it only increased a part of the intensity, the current intensity of the formation was indeed to the point where they could not break through it with their own strength.

The longer the delay, the greater the variables.

The jade pendant that conveys the soul...the royal family...

Two deep eye sockets appeared in the big black face.

"...Lord of the royal family."

"what?"

Ma Ling'er came over impatiently.

Hei Da took out the soul-carrying jade pendant and gently handed it to Ma Ling'er.

"...You take the sacred object and return to the Wuyu Clan."

"I can't get out! Besides, I don't even know where the Wuyu tribe is."

"...I will tell you everything. Listen to my arrangements and get out of here."
Chapter completed!
