Chapter 159 Wanted
At the gate of a certain city.

"It's not good, Junior Brother Jieshuai."

Zhenwu lowered his voice, quickened his pace and walked towards Chen Shuai and others, his face a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Kong Shui looked at Zhenwu curiously and asked. They asked Zhenwu to inquire about the news, but the look on his face seemed to have revealed some bad news.

Zhenwu stepped forward and said solemnly: "I just saw your wanted notice hanging at the city gate. It says that Junior Brother Commander-in-Chief assassinated the emperor, so now the entire Zhou Dynasty government is looking for Junior Brother Commander-in-Chief."

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then turned their attention to Chen Shuai. Chen Shuai did not speak, but frowned. He knew that what happened last night would arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction, but he did not expect that the other party would tell lies with such open eyes.

"It's true. The face of Junior Brother Commander is clearly drawn on it." Zhenwu nodded solemnly. He was also extremely shocked when he saw the wanted notice. He froze in place for a long time. If he hadn't been worried about others noticing something was wrong, he would have I'm afraid I'll scream out loud.

"Then what should we do now?"

Someone looked at Kong Shui. The commander-in-chief was wanted. Does that mean that Futu Temple was wanted? If they went back now, would they fall into a trap?

Kong Shui couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face. For a moment, he couldn't think of any way. Although Chen Shuai was wanted, it was not too easy for a martial arts practitioner to avoid being wanted by the government.

The problem is that the imperial court knows the forces behind Chen Shuai. Once they take action against Futu Temple, this is what they will worry about.

At this moment, Chen Shuai said: "Someone is coming."

After saying that, he looked towards the forest. Although it seemed peaceful on the surface, Chen Shuai noticed that someone was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

"Hmph, you actually found out."

Seeing Chen Shuai's gaze, a middle-aged man in black robe snorted secretly, and then six people appeared one after another, staring directly at Chen Shuai.

Now Chen Shuai does not hide his appearance, so it is almost obvious that Chen Shuai is the person in the portrait without having to identify him.

"I thought the master who assassinated the emperor was He Fang, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

The middle-aged man in black robe looked at Chen Shuai and praised him.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense to them. If we take down this kid, we can go to the government to receive 10 taels of silver. By then we will be able to eat well and drink spicy food."

Another person said, obviously not intending to waste time with Chen Shuai and others, after all, making money is the most important thing.

Chen Shuai glanced at Zhen Wu, who seemed to understand what Chen Shuai meant, so he nodded and said: "Yes, Commander Ji, the amount of your reward is stated on the wanted order, which is a full [-]!"

There are no restrictions on the bounty issued by the government. Even if you are not a knife hunter, you can receive the bounty as long as you catch the wanted criminal. It can be said that Chen Shuai is now the target of public criticism, and countless people are eyeing this piece of cake.

10 taels of silver, let alone divided among seven people, even if it is doubled ten times, it can keep these people happy for a long time, and even spending their old age peacefully is not a problem.

Hearing the news, Chen Shuai had a look of helplessness on his face. It can be predicted that when the reward amount is announced, the entire martial arts world of the Great Zhou Dynasty may come to trouble Chen Shuai.

"Jie Shuai, if you want to leave, let us deal with these people." Kong Shui said and stopped in front of Chen Shuai. There was no way he would let these people take Chen Shuai away.

"Go!"

After hearing this, the men in black robes immediately took action, fearing that Chen Shuai would run away. Seeing this, Chen Shuai stopped Kong Shui who was about to take action, shook his head, and then took action himself. In less than a stick of incense, he killed Kill these people.

"It's just a mere innate realm. I dare to imitate others to arrest wanted criminals. I don't know what I think." Zhenwu felt helpless when he noticed the strength of the seven people. With such strength, there was no need for Chen Shuai to take action, even if it was him. , and can capture them all.

"So money and silk are attractive to people's hearts!" Kong Shui sighed. Even a warrior in the innate realm would do it without overestimating his ability. You can imagine how tempting 10 taels is.

After getting rid of these people, Chen Shuai returned to the team and said to Kong Shui and others: "Let's say goodbye here."

"Jie Shuai, you..."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Shuai in surprise. Chen Shuai did not explain too much, but turned around and left. At this time, it was the best choice for him to leave.

Kong Shui and others looked at Chen Shuai's leaving figure and stayed there for a long time. Finally, Kong Shui sighed softly and everyone left.

After parting with Kong Shui and his party, Chen Shuai disguised himself and returned to the capital. Of course, he entered through the main gate. Although Chen Shuai's arrest warrants were posted on almost all four city gates, given the skills of the guards, Still couldn't find Chen Shuai's disguise.

After entering the city, Chen Shuai was not in a hurry. He first took a look at the wanted notice written by the other party, and then found an inn to stay temporarily. The place where he lived was the street where the battle took place last night. After a night, the knife The guest's body has long been missing, and people are still coming and going on the street, unaware of what happened last night.

"Although I was disrespectful to the emperor last night, I did not do anything to him. Instead, the other party sent people to hunt me down. It seems that what the other party told me was very important, otherwise he would not have killed and silenced him."

"Dealing with demons? In other words, the emperor may be under the control of demons now, so he needs to find experts to deal with demons. And my strength has been recognized by him, which is why he sent people to find me."

"According to the portrait, the emperor was wanted for my assassination, but this kind of thing is nothing more than a reason. The news of last night must have already reached the palace."

"Then the question is, now that the news has reached the palace, he also knows that I killed the swordsman. The swordsman is very strong. He must be a member of the emperor's plan to kill the demon. Now that the swordsman is dead, he There is no need to find a reason to say that I assassinated the emperor, you just need to find an excuse and announce the reward amount, why go to so much trouble, unless he was really assassinated!"

"If he was really assassinated, then why was it me who was wanted instead of his assassin? Could it be that this was also a fog bomb released by the other party to make me surrender to him?"

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. We'll find out after we send the demons to check it out at night!"

After thinking for a long time, Chen Shuai finally retracted his thoughts. From the current information, he could not deduce the real reason why the emperor wanted him. It would be better to wait until night to check again.

Soon, the time came to the evening, the sky gradually darkened, the pedestrians on the street went home, and those who were searching everywhere finally stopped wandering on the street. During the day, the inn where Chen Shuai lived was occupied by a group of people. Officials made several raids to arrest Chen Shuai.

But it's a pity that based on the ability of these people, they still can't find him handsome, so they passed by Chen Shuai many times and found nothing.After dinner, as night fell, Chen Shuai opened the window and began to summon monsters.

"Ok?"

After a while, several demons and ghosts were controlled by Chen Shuai and flew towards the palace. Chen Shuai watched as the demons and ghosts left and frowned slightly. The number of demons and ghosts was not very large when he came last time, but this time he It was discovered that the number of demons lingering over the capital had increased.

What caught Chen Shuai's attention even more was that the evil spirit above the palace became stronger.

in the palace.

The emperor transformed into a demon was practicing. Waves of heat surged from his head, and his body was emitting flickering light. After an unknown amount of time, the emperor opened his eyes, and the room suddenly became brighter.

"Someone, clean this place up for me."

The emperor shouted, and after a while several eunuchs came in. When they saw the bones on the ground, everyone couldn't help showing a trace of fear on their faces, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. If they remembered correctly, before What had walked in was a human being, and now in the blink of an eye it was a skeleton.

The bones were carefully cleaned, and no one dared to stay or even look at the emperor, and then quickly left the room. The emperor naturally saw the change in everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but smile.

Sometimes it is indeed more comfortable to be served by a human than by a demon. It can at least make you feel much happier. Anyway, if you are not satisfied, you can eat it directly.

"who?"

Suddenly, the emperor's expression changed and he noticed a strange aura appearing above him. He suddenly realized that someone was peeping at him. As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's figure disappeared from the room and suddenly appeared on the roof.

"nobody?"

The emperor looked around and after careful inspection, he found no one peeping at him, but the feeling just now was unmistakable, which made him become cautious.

"I'm not the one spying on you, it turns out it's you, a bastard!"

After standing on the roof for a while, the emperor finally discovered the source of the peeping feeling. It was none other than the demon.

But then his expression changed: "No, it's not a demon, but someone is controlling the demon!"

There were many demons and ghosts in the palace. It was impossible to spy on him, let alone give him such a feeling. The only explanation was that someone controlled the demons and ghosts and used the demons to spy on him.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I took that step, I probably wouldn't have discovered it, and I never thought that someone in the world could control demons and ghosts. You'd better pray that I don't discover it!"

The emperor snorted coldly, waved his hand, and then got rid of the monsters, but he still did not relax his vigilance. The other party could control one, and maybe more. Sure enough, after spending a stick of incense, he Finally got rid of all the peeping monsters.

Although he had solved all the monsters and ghosts, his face was not happy. This time he had solved the monsters, but what happened next?If the real mastermind is not caught, this situation will happen again in the future.

But the problem is that even he can't control the monsters, let alone find the mastermind behind it. And judging from tonight's situation, the other party's goal is himself, otherwise, those monsters will not see him again. Then he stayed.

This made him a little depressed. He thought he would be able to implement his plan better after replacing the emperor, but he didn't expect that the Zhou Dynasty would still hide such an expert. It seems that after the assassination was announced last night, someone noticed something was wrong, so today Later in the evening, I can’t wait to send someone to the palace.

"It's a pity that I have alerted the enemy. If I hadn't gotten rid of these demons before, I could have used the demons to find the mastermind. Now that the demons are all dead, I have missed the opportunity."

The emperor sighed softly. After learning that the demon was controlled by someone, his first step was to eradicate it to prevent others from noticing the abnormality. But now that he thinks about it, the best way at that time was to follow the demon to find the mastermind behind it.

When the emperor destroyed the demons and ghosts, Chen Shuai, who was far away in the inn, noticed something was wrong. If the loss of contact with a demon and ghost could be explained by the other party's life being exhausted, then it cannot be explained by coincidence that all the demons and ghosts sent out died. .

"All the demons and ghosts are dead. It seems that they were discovered by people in the imperial city. Could it be that demon?"

Chen Shuai couldn't help but think about it. Ordinary people and warriors cannot see monsters and ghosts. Even warriors in the ninth realm of mortal transformation who have not practiced advanced pupil skills still can't see monsters and ghosts. Therefore, Chen Shuai's suspects soon became clear. Transferred from humans to demons.

He remembered that there was a very powerful demon hidden in the palace, and even the emperor was afraid of this demon.

"Send it out again to take a look. This time you don't need to peep out, but just take a walk around the palace."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shuai still did not intend to give up and sent out a group of demons again. To his surprise, almost all the demons came back this time, and not a single one was lost.

"All the demons sent to monitor the emperor died, but all the demons wandering around the palace survived."

Such a result was very thought-provoking, and Chen Shuai couldn't help but come up with a ridiculous idea, that is, there might be a demon around the emperor, and the other party found the demon, so he got rid of the demon.

Even more seriously, the emperor is a monster!

Such a conclusion is not impossible, after all, demons possess all kinds of incredible abilities.

"If you want to know whether the emperor is actually a demon in disguise, you can verify it and you will know."

So Chen Shuai once again sent out a group of demons. This time, the demons sent out were not monitoring the emperor, but the people around the emperor. One of them was the old eunuch.

Chen Shuai, who had fought against the old eunuch, knew that the old eunuch was definitely a human being, and there was no demonic energy in him, so he was naturally protecting the emperor, who was also a human being.

Moreover, experts like the old eunuch can detect if the emperor is replaced, so if the emperor becomes a demon, then the old eunuch may not be by the emperor's side.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, the old eunuch is controlled, but as far as Chen Shuai knows, it is probably difficult for demons to control warriors in the mortal realm.

These thoughts were all dispersed when the demons and ghosts came back. They brought back a piece of news that Chen Shuai guessed but was still unexpected, that is, there was no trace of the old eunuch around the emperor.
