Chapter 632: Chapter 287 Five Fathers_2

Chen Shi took out a Fire Talisman and threw it down; the Fire Talisman fell along the well’s wall, illuminating the surroundings.

However, as the Fire Talisman fell deeper and deeper, descending about a hundred meters into the well, it still didn’t reach the bottom.

"How deep exactly is this well?" The two of them were somewhat startled.

When the Fire Talisman burned out, it finally reached the bottom of the well, where clear water lay beneath, very transparent and devoid of the so-called Dragon King.

As the Fire Talisman began to extinguish, suddenly, in front of the clear water, a huge and rough eyelid slid open, pushing the water aside.

When the eyelid slid open, a massive eye was pressed against the bottom of the well, staring back at the two men.

Chen Shi and Yu Lingzi quickly ducked their heads, their hearts pounding wildly.

"Yu Lingzi, this place has already become a ground for disputes. I fear it won’t be long before someone comes here and discovers the disappearance of these young lords and ladies."

Chen Shi stood up and walked out, saying, "Let’s hurry! Black Pot, you take care of the aftermath."

Black Pot followed behind, altering the memories of those they encountered.

The two left Qixia Temple and rushed towards the city outskirts, Yu Lingzi’s heart still fluttering uneasily, constantly feeling that what he had done was not completely flawless.

Chen Shi took out a Heavenly Court Token and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Yu Lingzi, from now on, we are on the same side. It’s not advisable for you to stay in Western Capital, go to the high mountains county to lay low. Once you arrive, search for Yu Tiancheng from the Red Mountain Hall; he will explain the origin of the token to you."

Yu Lingzi also worried about staying in Western Capital might expose him. He immediately bid farewell and headed for the high mountains county, thinking, "Little Uncle truly considers me one of his own."

He arrived at the county and entered the Red Mountain Hall’s branch to meet Yu Tiancheng.

Yu Tiancheng, having seen the token, smiled and said, "Has the True King told you about the principles of the Heavenly Court? We, the Heavenly Court, are a secret organization under the Independent, dedicated to rebellion. Having the token, you either join the rebellion or face death."

Yu Lingzi’s spirits lifted, "I’m really on board now!"

Seeing that he was far from scared but instead eager to try, Yu Tiancheng knew he was kindred spirit and said, "In our Heavenly Court, we all have different codenames. I’m codenamed Moon Rabbit, Zhuge Jian is codenamed Archivist. What will you use for your codename?"

After thinking, Yu Lingzi said, "I will use Taoist as my codename."

Meanwhile, Chen Shi arrived at Guangji Storehouse, also feeling a bit apprehensive. He stayed until the afternoon, then took Black Pot and the wooden cart back.

Upon approaching the gates of West Capital City, he vigilantly watched the city guards, noticing many Divine Mechanism Camp experts armed with large guns, interrogating the passersby.

Chen Shi’s eyes twitched, and as he approached the city gate, the Divine Machine Camp soldiers recognized him, saying, "Mr. Xiao Chen, no need to check, let him pass. Mr. Xiao Chen, you seem a bit unwell, did you enjoy yourself too much at the Apricot Blossom Tower yesterday? Sir, I have some strong kidney fortifying pills here, supposedly made by the Red Mountain Hall’s pharmacist, would you like some?"

The Divine Machine Camp weapons were controlled by the Guangji Storehouse, so the members knew better than to offend Mr. Xiao Chen.

"Strong kidney fortifying pills? Made by Huang Fengnian? He’s quite efficient. When did he join the Red Mountain Hall?"

Suppressing his doubts, Chen Shi asked, "What are you searching for?"

"King Xiao’s grandson launched a night attack on the Divine Mechanism Camp, abducting our leader. We suspect King Xiao’s grandson might enter the capital, so we are searching the passersby," replied the frustrated Divine Mechanism Camp soldier.

"Your leader is..."

"Military Officer Jin Hongying."

Chen Shi was surprised. Wasn’t it always Jin Hongying who had King Xiao’s grandson running all over the place? How has King Xiao’s grandson become so bold as to infiltrate the Divine Mechanism Camp and abduct Jin Hongying?

"The hen crows at dawn; there must be something strange going on!" he thought to himself.

Since the Divine Mechanism Camp was not there to catch him, he entered the city feeling at ease.

Just as he entered the city, someone suddenly patted his shoulder, and a voice in his ear said, "Murdering the offspring of the Thirteen Families yet daring to enter the city so openly, you’ve got guts!"

Chen Shi shuddered; the small temple was filled with iron thorns over a meter high, ready to be thrown. But this voice was somewhat familiar.

Chen Shi turned around, a familiar face came into view. Creation Little Five, resembling Chen Tang, wore a Scholar Robe and was slightly taller, smiling at him.

"Cre... Uncle Chen Wu!" Chen Shi was both startled and pleased.

Creation Little Five snorted, "Don’t be so affectionate. I am Creation Little Five, not Chen Wu. Don’t call me uncle; even if you called me dad, I wouldn’t agree. I’m just teasing you; don’t think I have any family affection for you."

He paused, then added, "Your grandfather has killed me several times; that score hasn’t been settled with you Chens yet..."

Chen Shi interrupted him, saying, "Uncle, ever since you left that day, I’ve been thinking about you."

Creation Little Five fell silent, then suddenly burst into laughter. After a moment, his expression suddenly turned stern, and he coldly said, "If you ever think of using familial ties to bind me again, I’ll break your neck! Understand? Follow me."

Chen Shi obediently followed him into the city, with Black Pot also becoming extremely docile.

Creation Small Five said, "You did a good job at Qixia Temple, quite to my taste, but the work was too rough, leaving many clues. You didn’t kill everyone who saw you. Do you think you can just alter other people’s memories with this dog and nothing can be restored? You underestimate the Thirteen Families."

Chen Shi was startled, "Can the Thirteen Families trace it back to me?"

"Yes."

Creation Little Five said, "But not anymore. I’ve already killed everyone at Qixia Temple who saw you. And the traces of the Thunder Law you left, I’ve erased them too. I’m not doing this for your good."

He added, "I want to see you defeat Chen Tang!"
