Chapter 312: Seeking One's Own Demise

the center of Ziyuntian City. In front of us stood a purple stone tablet, as tall as a person, inscribed with the three majestic characters "Ziyun Palace"."Master Wuyou, you're back!"A tall man in a..."They're really making a commotion. That white python has some skill, it must have opened its spiritual wisdom. How could ordinary people possibly catch it This is like going to die!"

Wuyou frowned, saying that his injured abdomen had not yet recovered. That was the reason he hadn't left his house these past two days. He planned to recover and then join Lu Yao Xianzi to deal with the white python. Unexpectedly, someone took action before him.

"Yes! That's why I need the Daoist master to step in. It wouldn't be convenient for me to show my face."

The ripple said softly.

"Alright, I understand! I'll head to the government office right away."

Worry-free didn't refuse, it was just that those people went there, they were just giving Bai Mang food.

Fengyu didn't speak this time. After everything was said and done, he helped Wuyou back to the room, changed into his Taoist robes, and then left the inn.

After seeing the two leave, Liang Chen whispered:

"Madam, do you think the county magistrate will listen to him"

"At least we won't openly send people to their deaths. For the underhanded dealings, you arrange a few beggars to keep watch at the front and back gates of the county office. If there is any movement, inform me."

"Don't worry, Miss. I'll take care of it right away. Little Gray can also sneak into the county office."

"Don't waste his talents by having him just lurk around the county magistrate's house. If he doesn't act openly, we'll make our plans in private."

"Okay! Little Hui will definitely be able to do it!"

After finishing his words, he dashed off excitedly.

That afternoon, Feng Yu ran back to deliver a message, saying that the county magistrate had agreed not to capture the white python. He only kept his master at the county office, wanting my master to perform a ritual to pray for a smooth year ahead.

"I understand. Let your master recuperate well at the county office. Don't come looking for me if you need anything. I believe you can handle this."

Ripple smiled and said.

Feng Yu twitched the corner of his mouth upon hearing this, but he did not retort. His master had said that this Lu Yao fairy, despite her young age, possessed cultivation comparable to Master Uncle Ziyun's. Although Feng Yu harbored doubts, he dared not show disrespect.

"Yes, I will definitely convey what Lu Yao Xianzi said to Master."

Then he packed up his belongings and went to take care of his master.

That evening, Lianyi avoided her own maidservant and summoned Lei Yaojian. She flew directly to the bamboo forest waterfall where she had previously stayed. She concealed her breath and figure, sat cross-legged on her natal sword, and waited quietly for Bai Mang to appear.

The waterfall looked just the same as before, but the bodies of those鏢師 were gone, leaving only their boxes behind.

The ripples, which had been closing their eyes and resting peacefully, sensed something. They opened their eyes and saw a group of people slowly approaching the box by the waterfall.

The ripples scanned, and at the head was a young man. He looked somewhat sly-eyed and not very martial at all; his footsteps were heavier than those of the others.

"Master, we should go back! It's said that a white python lurks here, and none of us are a match for it."

A man in brown clothes lowered his voice and reminded.

"This is a great chance for me to prove myself. If I can find the lost dart on my own, my father will definitely be impressed and see me in a new light. That way, I can inherit the鏢局 sooner and won't have to be ridiculed by that Wen Lu woman."

Chang Shunyuan gritted his teeth and said.

But

The man was still not convinced and tried to persuade his young master.

"Shut up! It's really there, and you scared it away!"

Chang Shunyuan impatiently waved his sleeves, interrupting the other person.

A flash of discontent crossed the brown-clad man's eyes, but he ultimately clamped his lips shut.

Their whispered conversation was overheard by Lian Ri. She didn't expect such a coincidence, the leader of these trashy snack-makers was actually the young master of Chang Wei Escort Agency who had embarrassed Wen Yi. She enjoyed this kind of serendipity.

Until these people reached the place where the boxes were piled, there was no change around the waterfall or in the bamboo grove. Chang Shunyuan's courage grew bolder. He felt that someone must have spread rumors, causing people to be afraid to approach. There was probably no white python at all.

Chang Shun Yuan gently tore open the seal of a box and then lifted the lid. Inside were several antiques, undoubtedly items sent by the one-eyed man. He immediately waved his hand, ordering his followers to carry the box away.

"Hurry up, put it in the carriage, and let's go!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The upcoming bodyguard held his breath for a long time, but in the end, he found nothing unusual. He felt braver and started carrying the boxes with his partner.

The ripples revealing hidden figures, at the seam of a stacked box, several white snakes had been startled. At this moment, they were sticking out their snake fangs, wagging their tails, and then slithered onto the top of the box.

Chang Shun far looked into another box he had previously seen, and discovered a small white snake. He was startled, and the dagger in his hand instinctively swung, directly cutting off the head of the small white snake.

The moment the blood flowed out, he was still tense for a while, then he realized that the little snake was really dead, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

"What white python, isn't it just a little white snake, and scared these people half to death."

He immediately and casually wiped the blood-stained dagger on his sleeve, then beckoned the bodyguard to hurry up.

A few bodyguards also noticed their young master's actions. Seeing him swiftly deal with the little white snake, they didn't say much.

"Tsk! Such a fool!"

Ripples shook his head.

Now the waterfall was alive with movement. The cascading water, which had been transparent at the top, had turned white as it plunged down. With a flick of his divine awareness, he saw that it was countless white snakes, their heads and tails intertwined.

"Master, run!"

Suddenly someone exclaimed, apparently he discovered the anomaly in the waterfall. White snakes had swarmed onto land, moving quickly towards them, obviously already locked onto their prey.

Chang Shunyuan was startled by the shout and turned to run. He tripped over a box and, in doing so, dragged it along with him, smashing it into his lower leg. He didn't care about that and immediately overturned the small box, getting up and running away.

The dozen or so鏢師 he brought were completely flustered, they didn't even care about their young master's life or death. They mounted their restless horses, dragged the already-packed boxes, and ran off.

"Damn it! You wait for me! Just you wait, I'll tell my father!"

Chang Shunyuan limped toward the bamboo grove, threatening the escorts as he ran. One of the escorts, the one who had reminded him, hesitated for a moment, apparently still wanting to save his young master.

But the next instant, the horse beneath him stood up on its own, let out a neigh, and flung the鏢師 off its back, then galloped away.

Young Master!!!

The bodyguard stared in terror at the back of Chang Shun, his voice trembling.

At this moment, a giant white python had opened its bloody maw and, with pinpoint accuracy, bit off Chang Shun Yuan's upper body in one gulp. Then, it whipped its head back and forth, swallowing the lower half of his body into its belly.

Immediately, the white python spat out its forked tongue, its crimson eyes staring at the paralyzed鏢師. Its body writhed and it opened its blood-filled maw once more.

With a flick of his finger, the ripples caused the Lei Yao under his feet to transform into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight into the white python's mouth."Yes."Wen Zhao Ming did not beat around the bush, but gave a positive answer.
