Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 267 - 144: He Should Thank Us_2

Chen Yi found a Secret Technique Jade Pendant among Tan Qing’s belongings,

Chen Yi inspected it briefly and discovered that it contained the same secret skill of transforming into black smoke that he had!

This escape technique was designed for demon cultivators, but Chen Yi could still study and learn from it. Even if he couldn’t use it, he could find its weaknesses and know how to deal with such techniques in the future,

Besides, just because Chen Yi couldn’t use it doesn’t mean others couldn’t.

This time, all the wealth accumulated over a lifetime by Tan Qing and Shen Fang, who had murdered and set fires, ended up in Chen Yi’s possession.

In theory, Chen Yi could stop running his medical clinic because the spirit stones he gained after dealing with all the spoils of war were enough to buy him the ingredients for five Foundation Establishment Pills,

But, Chen Yi wouldn’t do that; sudden wealth would arouse suspicion.

Chen Yi didn’t want others to know that he had killed the Demon Cultivator Ghost Shadow,

Tan Qing himself had said that he knew where the external secret bases of the demon cultivators were. Who knew if he had any friends, relatives, or descendants who might seek revenge for him,

To be safe, Chen Yi needed someone else to take responsibility for this.

This was something that Chen Yi had planned for,

People like Ghost Shadow, who had committed many crimes as a demon cultivator, were wanted by almost all the major forces, especially the official Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, which offered a reward of 1000 substandard spirit stones for his capture.

Chen Yi’s original plan was to ask Song Chengcheng to take responsibility for this,

Being from a significant sect like Qinglong Island, and being a beautiful Foundation Establishment Fairy, she had a bunch of sycophants around her.

She was entirely capable of dealing with the repercussions brought about by killing Ghost Shadow, including the honor and possible ambitions that come with it.

After years of interaction, Chen Yi trusted her character,

Moreover, since Song Chengcheng’s Foundation Establishment, she had been gradually drifting away from those like Chen Yi and Liu Huo who didn’t manage to achieve Foundation Establishment yet.

To maintain a good relationship with them, it was necessary to show some strength – like the Second Tier Demon Beast ability of the Purple Sand Mink, which Chen Yi planned on revealing to one of his friends. This would help maintain a long-term relationship.

However, things happened suddenly and Song Chengcheng couldn’t reach Wangyue City in a short time,

With the night growing darker and the dreams growing longer, Chen Yi had to resort to his backup plan,

He asked Wang Tengfei from the Alliance Law Enforcement Team to take the blame for him,

Chen Yi kept the spoils of the war, and Wang Tengfei gained prestige and influence;

An arrangement both should be able to accept.

As for how to tell him,

Chen Yi thought for a bit, he needed to set up the battlefield here,

In this fight, Chen Yi hadn’t displayed too much of his power. He only needed to clear or hide the blasts’ impact from the Kui Shui Bead, and that would be good enough,

Everything else could be explained as him being prepared beforehand,

And he was indeed prepared in advance.

After tidying up, Chen Yi found the Array Plate for the Nightmare Dark Curtain Array and stored it properly,

The array in Shen Fang’s cave mansion was enough to hide everything.

Then, Chen Yi left and went to the Alliance Law Enforcement Team’s location.

Wang Tengfei was on duty, he brought Chen Yi into his cave mansion, activated a shield, and said,

“Daoist Chen, I’ve found some important information! Your neighbor Shen Fang was Fabric Workshop’s spy in Wangyue City,

Moreover,

She herself was restless, practicing a Charm Skill. Tan Qing, the rich businessman she seduced, is quite suspicious and is likely the Ghost Shadow who stole the substandard Foundation Establishment Pill!

Tan Qing has been to your clinic. Have you noticed anything abnormal? Also, you should keep your distance from the two and be more careful in the future!”

Wang Tengfei’s tone was serious, seemingly reminding Chen Yi but actually trying to obtain some information from him.

Seeing this,

Chen Yi set up another simple Divine Sense-Proof array within Wang Tengfei’s shield,

And then told him about today’s event telepathically,

Chen Yi gave a brief account – he had already suspected Tan Qing, made many preparations, and when he was about to ask Wang Tengfei for help, this incident happened,

Chen Yi had no choice but to use all his last-resort options and preparations, caught the enemy off guard, and barely managed to kill them.

Hearing this, Wang Tengfei was extremely surprised:

“I’ve dealt with Ghost Shadow before, with his demonic energy and terrifying speed, he was an invincible existence in the Qi Refining Period,

You were able to kill him, Brother Chen?”

Without explaining too much, Chen Yi took Wang Tengfei to the battlefield,

He displayed all the Rune Scripts, magical instruments, the pills he had taken in advance, and the Second Tier Purple Sand Mink that had helped him,

And recounted the entire battle,

“Brother Chen, you actually have a Second Tier Spirit Beast!”

Wang Tengfei’s eyes widened, and he kept staring at the Purple Sand Mink for a long time,

Finally, Wang Tengfei sighed deeply:

“Brother Chen, I always thought you were the weakest among the five of us, but it turns out you’ve been hiding your strength!

Despite being well-prepared and having the help of the Second Tier Spirit Beast, it must have been difficult to defeat Ghost Shadow, let alone killing him!”

Wang Tengfei speculated that Ghost Shadow must have been harder to deal with than Chen Yi described. As far as he knew, Ghost Shadow possessed a Top grade Flying Sword capable of unleashing Foundation Establishment Period-level damage,

Chen Yi must have more cards up his sleeve that he hadn’t revealed.

[Heh heh, that kid himself has a body strength equivalent to a Second Tier Demon Beast. According to your terms, it should be called Fourth Level Body Refining?]

A voice echoed in Wang Tengfei’s mind.
