Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 355 Grasping Part 6

Chapter 355 Grasping the Six Departments

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" Xu Teng's body trembled violently, his eyes were bloodshot, his gums were bleeding, and he stared intently at his crotch.

There, the place was covered in blood.

The maid slumped to the ground, her delicate face smeared with blood, staring blankly at the strip-shaped object on the ground in front of her.

Feng Shiyi transformed into a bolt of lightning, rapidly striking Xu Teng's body with both hands.

Xu Teng was immersed in the immense grief of losing a vital organ when he was suddenly attacked by Feng Shiyi. His blood and qi reversed, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Ye Nanxiao jumped down, holding two silencing beads in his hands, and knocked the terrified maid unconscious.

Glancing at the indescribable, strip-shaped object on the ground, Ye Nanxiao shuddered, thinking to himself, "I must never anger Feng Shiyi again; that girl is too ruthless!"

Feng Shiyi seemed to sense Ye Nanxiao's gaze, turned her head and glared at Ye Nanxiao, then raised her foot and used her soul power to crush the things on the ground. Her eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at Xu Teng.

Ye Nanxiao stepped forward, conjured an ice ruler in his hand, and slapped it on Xu Teng's face with a "smack".

"According to the intelligence, Xu Teng is at least a seventh-ring Soul Saint. Judging from this, it seems that his cultivation level was boosted by drugs. He couldn't even withstand a single combo before he collapsed." Ye Nanxiao then patted him a few more times until Xu Teng's right cheek swelled up before he felt relieved.

"He's fainted. Stop the bleeding and get him away quickly." Feng Shiyi crossed her arms and took two steps back.

"Stop the bleeding?" Ye Nanxiao's gaze fell on Xu Teng's wound.

The neat incision was bleeding profusely; Xu Teng's previous state of excitement had caused the bleeding to continue.

"How about we kill him?" Ye Nanxiao offered a sincere suggestion.

He's neither a doctor nor has any relevant knowledge of andrology, so this is a very difficult situation!

"Whatever you want," Feng Shiyi snorted.

In any case, if the mission is messed up in the end, Ye Nanxiao will be the one who gets scolded.

"Fine, let's just stop the bleeding." Ye Nanxiao squinted, aimed with his right hand, flicked his finger and flicked out a beam of light, freezing Xu Teng's wound.

"Freezing the wound can also be considered stopping the bleeding!"

Ye Nanxiao took out a large burlap sack and put Xu Teng inside.

"Hey, why do I, the boss, have to do all the work myself? What's going on?" Ye Nanxiao rubbed his back and looked at Feng Shiyi with a friendly smile.

"I can carry you, but not other men!" Feng Shiyi walked up to Ye Nanxiao and pretended to carry him on her back.

Feng Shiyi's thought process was to have Ye Nanxiao carry the large sack while she carried Ye Nanxiao on her own back.

"What kind of bizarre thought process is this? Alright, let's go!" Ye Nanxiao dragged the sack and jumped onto the roof.

With the silencing bead providing cover, Xu Teng's piercing screams did not carry out. The guards in the manor continued their routine patrols, and the other maids, upon learning that Xu Teng was about to favor someone, all left the hall and hid far away.

They had no idea that their master had been stuffed into a sack and dragged away.

Ye Nanxiao threw the sack containing Xu Teng onto a tree in the middle of the road and carved a small mark on the trunk to make it easier for Ju Zi's men to find the sack.

"The next one, the Vice Minister of Personnel, lives at the very back," Feng Shiyi said, pointing to the end of the street that seemed to stretch endlessly.

"It's a bit far. This guy has reached this position, yet his residence isn't even in the top 50?" Ye Nanxiao asked curiously.

"This guy can't get into the circle. Apart from having some skills in handling affairs, he doesn't even know how to give gifts, so he's naturally been sidelined. But he's also eager to get into the circle, so he's been used as cannon fodder to deal with me." Orange's voice came from Feng Shiyi's bracelet.

Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Feng Shiyi's bracelet and asked, "So you were keeping an eye on things all the time?"

"Hmph, without supervision, you cunning fox will probably run off somewhere to slack off again," Orange snorted.

Ye Nanxiao rubbed his nose. "Why do you think I have absolutely no good image? You need to focus on my shining points!"

"A highlight? You do have one? You do, but it's just that you have a face that's more feminine than a woman's," Orange scoffed.

"Why can't you notice other aspects of me? Like how I can eat a lot, I'm a great cook, I'm an outstanding young man, a genius soul master, and so on?" Ye Nanxiao said narcissistically.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shiyi immediately gave Ye Nanxiao a disdainful look.

There is only one house at the end of the street, which is an odd number on the whole street. It is located opposite the corner, and although it is located on the main street, its location is quite awkward.

Ye Nanxiao and Feng Shiyi landed lightly on the rooftop, and could overlook the entire residence simply by standing up.

The entire residence was quiet, with no maids or guards moving about, only the pale yellow soul guide lamps providing dim illumination.

"It's too quiet. Why isn't there even a guard?" Feng Shiyi pulled out two throwing darts.

"Hmm, it's too quiet. Not even a maidservant has appeared to serve tea and water. What's this deputy minister's name again? Is he going to keep fighting until dawn?" Two silence beads floated on Ye Nanxiao's shoulders, and a suit of frost armor formed on his body.

Feng Shiyi also activated the silencing bead, holding a dart and a cross-shaped sickle, and moved slowly along the eaves.

The two separated and quietly approached the main house.

The main hall of the house was empty, without a single person in sight.

Ye Nanxiao glanced at the teacup on the table; the tea had gone cold.

Entering the rooms, the furniture was neatly arranged, and even the blankets were not folded, clearly indicating that no one had lived there.

With a thought, Ye Nanxiao caused a block of ice floating beside Feng Shiyi to deform and transform into a symbol.

Feng Shiyi immediately understood and quickly tapped on the bracelet.

"No one is home?" Ju Zi frowned as she deciphered Feng Shiyi's message.

In preparation for tonight's operation, she secretly blocked off the entire First Avenue, and her spies found no signs of the Deputy Minister of Personnel escaping.

"There was no sign." Feng Shiyi interpreted the message Ju Zi sent back and made a hand gesture.

Ye Nanxiao immediately understood, and two floating cannons appeared on his back, while he held an ice blade in his hand.

His mental energy slowly swept out, encompassing the entire main house.

"There's no trace of soul power at all. That's strange." Ye Nanxiao's eyes gleamed with blue light as he returned to the hall, carefully searching every corner of the room for any clues.

Ye Nanxiao's gaze swept over a vase displayed in a showcase. Having been exposed to a series of period dramas, he suddenly wondered if the vase was a trap.

I walked over and gently turned the vase.

Ye Nanxiao caught a faint sound of a mechanism.

Suddenly, the cabinet behind the screen in the hall rotated, revealing a secret passage behind it.

Feng Shiyi released two spider landmines, crouched down, stepped on Ye Nanxiao's floating ice, and slowly entered the secret passage.

The secret passage wasn't long; Ye Nanxiao and Feng Shiyi floated for five minutes before entering the secret chamber.

Ye Nanxiao smelled a faint scent of blood in the air and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the ice blade. His left hand made a loose fist, and the frost, which seemed to be there, arranged in the shape of the Emperor's Sword.

A large gate blocked their way, and the smell of blood was coming from behind it.

Ye Nanxiao and Feng Shiyi exchanged a glance. The latter's hands were covered with hidden weapons, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The small, enclosed room has only one entrance.

Ye Nanxiao took out five iron sheets and pasted them on the passage gate.

A faint electric current flowed across the iron sheets, and the five iron sheets formed a circle.

These are shrapnel fragments that Ye Nanxiao tricked from Jing Hongchen; they're specifically designed to deal with main gates.

The electric current spreads outwards like waves.

"Bang!" The passage gate was opened.

Ye Nanxiao gripped his ice blade tightly, and Little Ye No. 4 instantly appeared and rushed into it.

Behind the door was a pool of water, a pool filled with blood.

A man in black robes sat beside the well, his hands reaching into the pool of blood, constantly sucking up the blood within.

Xiao Ye No. 4 suddenly burst in, startling the man in black robes into realizing that someone had intruded.

"Damn it! How dare you disturb my cultivation!" the black-robed man roared, suddenly splashing up a large pool of blood and manipulating it to transform into long spears.

Xiao Ye No. 4 slapped the blood with his palm, freezing it solid.

Feng Shiyi threw out all the soul-guided hidden weapons in her hand, causing a series of explosions.

Ye Nanxiao stepped onto Xiao Ye No. 4's shoulder, grabbed the stone wall above his head, and leaped behind the man in black robes, slashing down with his sword.

The man in black robes hadn't expected three people to break in at the same time. Just as his fifth soul ring was flashing, Ye Nanxiao slashed him in the back.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black robes was almost cut in two by Ye Nanxiao.

He stepped on the man in black robes and used his ice blade to pry open the man's hood.

"It's Xiao Yi, he's the target," Feng Shiyi said.

"Is this guy a demonic soul master?" Ye Nanxiao plunged his ice blade into Xiao Yi's left shoulder joint, pinning him to the ground.

"It's also possible that they joined the evil spirit master's camp along the way," said Xiao Ye No. 4, looking at a beast-skin book placed beside the blood pool.

"He voluntarily became a demon; a demonic spirit master contacted him." Ye Nanxiao used his Frosty Hand to rub Xiao Yi's face to confirm that Xiao Yi was not wearing a disguise mask before knocking him unconscious. He then simply froze the wounds to stop the bleeding and put him into a sack.

"The maids and guards should all be here," Feng Shiyi said, looking at the undissolved bones in the blood pool.

Ye Nanxiao pursed his lips and said nothing.

The two left Xiao Yi's residence, leaving behind a soul-guided bomb that destroyed the secret room.

As dawn broke, Orange looked at the seven burlap sacks in front of her and asked, "Why is there one extra?"

"Let's just grab Xu Teng while we're at it, consider it a buy-six-get-one-free deal." Ye Nanxiao shook his head, turned around, and disappeared into thin air.

His task is complete; now it's time for Orange to shine.

Orange clapped her hands, and four people walked out and carried the sacks on their shoulders.

Fifteen minutes later, seven sacks appeared neatly arranged in front of Xu Tianran.

"Well done," Xu Tianran praised.

"Your Majesty flatters us. Of tonight's targets, Xiao Yi was discovered to be an evil spirit master. We have killed all the maids and guards in his residence and turned them into a pool of blood," Orange reported.

Xu Tianran frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I know about this matter. I will send people to thoroughly investigate Mingdu. You've worked hard these past few days. Go and rest now."

Orange frowned slightly, sensing that Xu Tianran wanted to suppress the matter.

But Ju Zi didn't ask any more questions. After bowing, she quickly left.

After Xu Tianran became emperor, his emotions became even more unpredictable and difficult to fathom, so Ju Zi dared not stay by Xu Tianran's side for long.

After Ju Zi left, Xu Tianran closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said in a deep voice, "You should restrain your subordinates. Before the time is right, they should not make contact with the ministers in the court. This is Mingdu! Under my nose! Not your hunting ground!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from Xu Tianran in an instant, and a purple flame appeared in Xu Tianran's eyes.

A dragon's roar echoed in the empty hall, and a huge dragon-shaped phantom knelt behind Xu Tianran.

"It's my fault, Your Majesty, please wait a moment," a female voice said.

Xu Tianran gently tapped the dragon head armrest with his left hand, his killing intent increasing rather than decreasing.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A slender figure appeared in front of Xu Tianran, pulling a string of round objects.

"This is what I'm entrusting His Majesty with!" The figure tossed down a string of objects in his hand.

Under the light, the round objects turned out to be grotesque human heads.

"I have personally killed all seventy-six people involved in the offense," the figure said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and a dragon-shaped flame flew out, flicked its tail in front of the figure, and swallowed all the heads on the ground.

"Very good, Vice Instructor Xie Feng is in charge, I am at ease!" Xu Tianran said.

"It's not your time to show up yet, don't rush things!"
