Chapter 1137: Chapter 491: Thousands of Changes, Visitors from the Mansion City_2

Actions were taken.

Endless illusions!

Qi Yuan employed this newly mastered skill.

In an instant, a profound and vast aura swept through.

Qi Yuan’s thoughts were clear at that moment.

Countless whispers and murmurs rose around his ears, as if a hundred thousand monks were chanting beside him.

But these voices were too distant; he couldn’t make out what they were saying.

However, a faint voice of a young boy came through clearly to his ears at that moment.

"The death toll in Red Cloud Village has been increasing lately, may the gods...please protect me!"

Qi Yuan looked up, following the direction of the voice.

Inside a humble house in Red Cloud Village, Li Xiaodan suddenly shuddered as he knelt in front of a deity’s statue.

For some reason, he felt the eyes of the statue seemed to come alive, assessing him.

This sensation was eerie and sent a shiver down his spine.

"Is it an illusion, or?" Li Xiaodan cautiously watched the statue, somewhat afraid.

Suddenly, a red light flashed above the statue.

A voice, cold and merciless, came through.

"I am not a god; there is no need for worship."

"Ah..."

Li Xiaodan heard the voice, panicked, and fled the house as if he was escaping something terrifying.

Meanwhile, far away in the lands of Central Land.

Rakshasa Country.

Inside the Imperial Court, a roar filled with anger and terror echoed.

"Shen Lin?!!"

"Wasn’t He shattered to pieces, all fragments thrown into the Underworld and the Fierce Tombs!"

"How could a trace of His presence emerge?"

"Is the Judgment Assembly trying to resurrect Him?"

"Send someone to Ning Country quickly!"

"Rakshasa Country needs no god, only an emperor!"

In a dark corner.

A wizened old man with tears in his eyes was reduced to a skeleton.

"The breath of a god, is the god...alive?"

He prostrated on the ground, his demeanor devout and humble, like the most faithful believer.

"Oh, god, it’s been a hundred years, and the world has forgotten Your might!"

"This humble old man is willing to use his own blood to restart Shen Lin!"

On this day, powerful figures from Rakshasa Country’s Imperial Court went forth to Ning Country.

On this day, from within the Judgment Assembly, a monastic Soldier Commander also set out toward Ning Country.

At this moment, Qi Yuan withdrew from the myriad of illusions.

A look of confusion graced his eyes.

"The statue?"

"Red Cloud Village?"

He had made a certain judgment about Shen Lin’s identity.

"Young Master, what you just did... it was as if a Heavenly God descended!" Chen Kangbao said with reverence at his side.

"Have there been Strange Spirits in Red Cloud Village recently?" Qi Yuan, thinking of the little boy’s prayer, couldn’t help but ask.

"This... This servant will immediately find out."

"It’s alright, even if there is or isn’t, let’s go have a look at Red Cloud Village together tomorrow," Qi Yuan casually suggested.

While ordinary people feared Strange Spirits, Qi Yuan was not afraid.

Apart from their combat abilities, Strange Spirits possessed various special and strange powers.

These powers were rare for the Soldier Commanders of this world, but for Qi Yuan, who lived in the Immortal Cultivation Method World, they were quite common.

Soul Attacks, Illusion Techniques, soul-snatching, curses.

Thus, faced with Strange Spirits, he inherently had the advantage.

After Chen Kangbao left, Qi Yuan sat in a chair, picked up the patterned ceramic pot on the table, and poured himself a cup of water.

"Illusion Technique can turn into Shen Lin..."

"Then couldn’t I become a Taoist Ancestor and gain a portion of the Taoist Ancestor’s power?"

Qi Yuan suddenly had a wild thought.

He did not know what Shen Lin was; if that could change, perhaps a Taoist Ancestor would too?

"The brow by my right eye hasn’t changed, which means there’s no risk."

"Transform!"

Illusion Technique activated once more.

The room was dead silent; not even a breath of wind stirred.

Qi Yuan looked at himself, somewhat disappointed.

"It seems it doesn’t work."

"Ah, indeed, wanting to gain much from little, gambling is not the answer!"

"Time to sleep!"

The next day, Qi Yuan was awakened by a knocking sound on his door.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Who is it?"

Clang!

The door burst open in response.

A tall woman with a frosty expression and a Sword Box on her back walked in.

The most eye-catching feature was her pair of long legs, strong and powerful as if they could strangle a person to death.

As she entered the room, her expression was quite unpleasant, almost as if she was in a bad mood from just waking up.

"Zhishuang, is that you?"

"So early, you’ve come to help me get dressed?"

"Everyone is equal, even though you are a maid, you needn’t serve me."

The visitor, Son-in-law Qi Yuan, was very familiar with her, and also very fearful.

This woman was a maid to the Shen Family’s young mistress.

Originally, on the day of great celebration for Son-in-law Qi Yuan and the Shen Family’s young mistress, the young mistress was absent, and it was Zhishuang who completed the ceremony on behalf of the Shen Family’s young mistress.

Of course, the final step of being escorted into the bridal chamber was unnecessary to even think about.

Son-in-law Qi Yuan being agitated was useless.

After all, this Zhishuang, she was no ordinary maid.

She was a Soldier Commander.

A piercing chill approached, and Zhishuang radiated an icy coldness as she looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes were cold and sharp with a hint of confusion.

Because, the young man with a lazy demeanor before her, was completely different from the weak Son-in-law she had seen before.

Upon seeing her, that man would often tremble all over, lustful in heart but cowardly in spirit.

Where would he dare to speak to her in such a manner?

"Son-in-law, the young mistress heard about what you did in Ninghe County, and she was very disappointed!" Zhishuang fixed her icy gaze on Qi Yuan, as cold as ice, "The young mistress hopes that you can tell the truth about what happened before!"

"Are you referring to the matter with the widow? It wasn’t my doing," Qi Yuan answered calmly.

"Son-in-law, you are too disappointing!" Zhishuang’s gaze remained as icy as ever, "Old Zhong said, he saw you bully that widow with his own eyes, he couldn’t bear it and wanted to stop you, but you kicked him, and the wound on his forehead is still there!"

On the way to Ninghe County, she had encountered Uncle Zhong.

From Uncle Zhong, she learned what had happened before, and she held even more contempt for the man in front of her.

"That man with the thick eyebrows and big eyes... is framing me?" Qi Yuan stretched lazily, about to dismiss it when,

Suddenly, he remembered he had to play the role of the Son-in-law.

Since he needed to play the Son-in-law, he surely couldn’t remain calm.

Instantly, he put on a pitiful look, "Sister Zhishuang, I was framed!"

Indeed, the progress bar for playing the Son-in-law advanced slightly at that moment.

He spoke and glanced at Zhishuang’s long legs, wanting to embrace them.

But then thought better of it.

Although the woman exuded an icy aura, she had travelled tirelessly all the way from the capital city to Ninghe County.

Her feet must have sweated and smelled foul!

If he smelled it, he suspected he would regret it.

After all, the women here could not compare to Goldfinch and Ningtuo’s delicate feet, small and delicate like tender white lotus roots, slender as jade shoots.

Zhishuang, seeing Qi Yuan like this, immediately felt a sense of familiarity, and contempt flickered through her eyes, "Why would Uncle Zhong frame you, Son-in-law? Admit to your actions and the young mistress might regard you more highly!"

"It was Wang Kaixuan!" Qi Yuan continued playing the role of the Son-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Zhishuang’s expression slightly changed.

At that moment, she felt there was more to the story.

After all, with Qi Yuan’s cowardly nature, even if he maliciously slandered someone, he wouldn’t dare to slander Wang Kaixuan.

"Son-in-law, follow me back to the Prefecture, the young mistress will definitely investigate this matter," Zhishuang said with a frosty face.

"I can’t return for now, how about a few days from now?" Qi Yuan asked tentatively.

"No!" Zhishuang refused, her voice brooking no argument.

She needed to quickly take Qi Yuan back to Shen Mansion to be detained, and then rush to Yesan Lake.

The young mistress still needed her there.

"I really need time, Sister Zhishuang..." Qi Yuan continued playing the Son-in-law, pleading pitifully.

A look of disgust flashed through Zhishuang’s eyes.

"No!"

Bang!

As the words fell, Zhishuang’s figure suddenly fell to the ground.

"Is that better now?" Qi Yuan murmured to himself as he looked at the unconscious Zhishuang.

He had suddenly attacked Zhishuang, knocking her out.

"Young Master!" At that moment, Chen Kangbao walked in, his mouth stuffed with half a bun.

He glanced at the woman on the ground, his expression indifferent.

"The Red Cloud Village incident has been investigated thoroughly, we can leave at any time!" Chen Kangbao spoke while eating.

"Good," Qi Yuan nodded.

"Young Master, are you going to leave this woman here?"

"No, she’s unconscious now and lacks the ability to protect herself, if someone were to take advantage of her and then claim it was consensual, wouldn’t I become the sinner?"

"So, we have to take her with us!"

"Carrying a woman out, wouldn’t we be mistaken for thieves?"

"That’s no woman, she’s clearly my weapon!"

"It just so happens I don’t have a weapon, she probably has a sturdy body."

A myriad of transformations!

As he spoke, Zhishuang shockingly turned into a spear.

However, this spear was somewhat thick, somewhat long.

It glinted with a cold, sharp edge.

Qi Yuan looked at the spear, his hand lightly grasping it.

"I must be careful, not to take advantage."
