    Hearing the four words "Yellow Angel," Cai Jia Sheng could no longer maintain his composure.


    Now that the Huang Tian Sect in Jinzhou was in full swing, it had almost alerted the surrounding districts.


    The Guardian Martial Department in Taiping County was currently searching for clues about the Huang Tian Sect throughout the area.


    Once his identity as a Yellow Angel was exposed and known to the Guardian Martial Department in the city, there was no escaping death.


    Although he was only responsible for a small part, there were other brothers and sisters of the Sect in the city. If he died, it would somewhat affect the plans of the Holy Sect.


    This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.


    "Probably during today''s Huang Tian revelation, when that group of brothers and sisters was on guard, someone took advantage of a loophole, allowing some unrelated people to stumble upon it. This person is probably trying to mystify, likely not a person of much importance."


    Having figured it out, Cai Jia Sheng immediately had an idea, his face turned fierce as he shouted angrily, "Looking for death!"


    As soon as the words fell, he tightened the muscles in his legs, slapped the door open with one hand, and suddenly punched outward.


    Accompanied by the whistling wind, Cai Jia Sheng threw a punch but hit nothing.


    The small courtyard outside the door was empty, with no sign of anyone.


    Cai Jia Sheng''s heart skipped a beat, and he looked around.


    Even though he had already begun to brew Qi Force and his senses were sharp, he couldn''t catch any trace of a presence nearby.


    It was as if no one had ever been outside the door.


    This time, his face turned ugly.


    Whoosh!


    A sound of wind breaking suddenly appeared.


    It was extraordinarily clear in the quiet night.


    Cai Jia Sheng only felt a twinge between his eyebrows, his head instinctively tilted.


    A sharp arrow skimmed past his cheek, slicing the hair at his temple into two sections.


    If he had been a step slower in evading just now, it wouldn''t have just cut his hair.


    It would have pierced his eyeball!


    What precise archery.


    People like him, a martial master of the Skin Forging Realm, had skin as tough as cowhide, impervious to ordinary weapons, but some weak spots remained.


    This person understood well, not someone of little significance.


    An open attack is easy to dodge, a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.


    Cai Jia Sheng calmed down and said in a cold voice toward the direction the arrow came from, "I have no grudge with you these days, and no enmity in the past. Did you come tonight just for my identity as a Yellow Angel?"


    "What do you want?"


    There was no response.


    Cai Jia Sheng''s face suddenly turned uncertain.


    At this moment, in the dark corner of the courtyard, facing a martial master of the Skin Forging Realm, Shen Qing used the Turtle Breathing Technique skill to conceal his entire aura well.


    Even though his Qi-Blood was boiling, and his limbs were tense and swollen to their optimal state, he did not reveal a sliver.


    Even the tension in his heart was masked by this Turtle Breathing Technique.


    Cai Jia Sheng couldn''t detect any of it.


    Shen Qing''s eyes narrowed, changed the direction of his arrow, and suddenly let go of it.


    Pfft.


    The candle flame in the room was extinguished immediately.


    Shen Qing didn''t delay any longer and immediately used the movement technique of the Wind Defying Finger, quickly slipping into the house like a shadow.


    Before he came, he had already observed secretly and knew the table was set with mountain treasures.


    Shen Qing rushed to the side of the Eight Immortals Table, swiped his hand, and quickly packed the three wooden boxes on the table into his arms, taking out the mountain treasures inside.


    Cai Jia Sheng suddenly turned his head, hearing the commotion in the house and looked toward the sound.


    In the fleeting moment when the lamp went out, he saw a figure holding a hard bow flashing by.


    Cai Jia Sheng''s eyes narrowed.


    He realized that if it weren''t for the person''s action, he wouldn''t have noticed at all.


    Even if this person stood in front of him, it still felt unreal.


    As if what was there wasn''t a person, but a mere plant or tree.


    No aura.


    Upon seeing this, Cai Jia Sheng''s face couldn''t help but become serious, and he realized that tonight this person might be difficult to deal with.


    But whether difficult or not, he couldn''t let this person go.


    The three pieces of mountain treasures in the house were not easily acquired; how could he let them be taken away?


    Seeing the person already rushed into the house, he made no hesitation, suddenly charged forward with all his strength.


    "Die!"


    Boom!


    A surge of force exploded behind Shen Qing.


    Now the house was pitch dark, and with Shen Qing''s Turtle Breathing Technique concealing his aura, Cai Jia Sheng couldn''t sense Shen Qing''s existence.


    He was hitting wildly based on instincts.


    Shen Qing''s movement was agile, and he had retreated to the side when Cai Jia Sheng started to act.


    Crash!


    The furniture inside the house was smashed into fragments under Cai Jia Sheng''s Qi Force.


    Shen Qing grabbed the three mountain treasures into his arms, relying on the Hunter''s perception, shot several arrows repeatedly at Cai Jia Sheng''s position.


    Arrows shot like beads on a string, accompanied by a whistling sound, rushing straight at Cai Jia Sheng''s face.


    However, because Cai Jia Sheng had already stirred up his Qi Force and deliberately closed his eyes,


    The arrows shot at his eyelids and were blocked.


    Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Qing already rushed out the door, quickly jumped over the courtyard wall, and ran wildly in one direction.


    At this time, Shen Qing''s heart pounded like a big drum.


    Rob and run, it was really thrilling.


    Especially snatching things from a martial master of the Skin Forging Realm, it was even more exhilarating.


    Cai Jia Sheng pinched his fingers, and the candlelight in the room lit up again.


    Seeing the three pieces of mountain treasures on the Eight Immortals Table had vanished, leaving only three empty boxes on the ground, his face turned extremely unsightly.


    The other party came for his three pieces of mountain treasures.


    That was alright.


    At worst, after the mountain treasures were robbed, he could gather them again later.


    The most troublesome issue was that the person knew his identity, which was a huge hidden danger that could not be left unchecked.


    She must be killed.


    Cai Jia Sheng didn''t know why, although he hadn''t seen the other person''s face clearly, the voice gave him a sense of familiarity.


    As if he had heard it somewhere before.


    He furrowed his eyebrows tightly, unable to recall.


    The impression didn''t match with any known person.


    "Never mind, capture him first and talk later. Sacrifice to honor the Yellow Heaven."


    Without delay, Cai Jia Sheng fetched a small sandalwood box from a cabinet at home.


    He carefully opened it, took out a yellow talisman.


    Cai Jia Sheng bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of essence blood, murmured incantations, and chanted softly, "Rise!"


    An unbelievable scene unfolded.


    The talisman in front of him burst into yellow light, folding itself into a golden glowing paper crane.


    Under Cai Jia Sheng''s gaze, the golden paper crane seemed to gain life, starting to flap its wings.


    Cai Jia Sheng was delighted, thinking, "The Daoist''s talisman technique is truly magical."


    Without delay, he pressed his hands together, visualized the appearance of the figure three times in his mind, then took out the empty boxes on the ground.


    The yellow paper crane landed on the empty wooden box, tapping it a few times as if a butterfly was sipping nectar.


    That should do it.


    Cai Jia Sheng pinched his fingers in a gesture, shouting, "Hurry!"


    At the word of command,


    The yellow paper crane turned into a yellow light, shooting out of the house.


    Cai Jia Sheng quickly followed it.


    ...


    In the alley, Shen Qing''s figure sprinted rapidly like a leopard.


    He glanced down at his bulging chest; the three pieces of mountain treasures were now in his embrace.


    Shen Qing hadn''t expected that in this operation, the Turtle Breathing Technique paired with the movement technique of the Wind Defying Finger, along with infallible archery, yielded unexpected results.


    It was surprisingly smooth.


    "From start to finish, I only said one sentence and did not show my face, he probably wouldn''t know who I am." Shen Qing murmured in his heart, "However, nothing is absolute. It''s obvious why the Huang Tian Sect is regarded as a major threat by the Great Zhou Court."


    "The opponent is a martial master of the Skin Forging Realm, better safe than sorry."


    Robbing Cai Jia Sheng of the three mountain treasures would easily fetch one to two thousand taels.


    The other party couldn''t swallow the insult without retaliating.


    Moreover, just now, to make him have scruples, he pointed out his identity as a Yellow Angel.


    If it were him, he wouldn''t let himself go either.


    In conclusion,


    "Tonight, he must be killed." Shen Qing showed a serious expression.


    However, Cai Jia Sheng''s cultivation was of the Skin Forging Realm, and he had just entered the stage of strengthening, not even having obtained a martial title yet. sea??h thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even with assassination, poison, or various other methods, it might not be possible to kill him.


    However, killing him didn''t necessarily mean doing it himself.


    Shen Qing twisted his footsteps and sprinted rapidly in another direction.


    That direction was toward the county government office of Taiping County.


    He decided to report to the Guardian Martial Department!


    Now that the Guardian Martial Department was collecting Huang Tian Sect''s clues everywhere, wasn''t Cai Jia Sheng just a piece of the Huang Tian Sect on a platter?


    Reporting would be justified and legitimate!


    Just as Shen Qing had left, a yellow paper crane followed closely.


    The yellow paper crane paused slightly, then changed direction, and chased after Shen Qing.


    "Oh, it changed course? Didn''t expect it to be not only fast but also quite smart."


    Cai Jia Sheng followed behind the yellow paper crane, leaping forward, quickly catching up.


    His urge to kill this person grew stronger.


    ...


    The main gate of the county office was tightly shut, and two weathered stone lions silently crouched at the entrance.


    The dim light seeping through the door''s crack cast a cold gleam on the blue stone slabs.


    Two government officers, clad in uniforms and holding long spears, stood straight on either side of the office gate.


    The cold wind howled by, bringing a chill that made them instinctively huddle.


    "This damn weather is bone-chillingly cold," complained the officer on the left, his voice echoing in the open night with a touch of helplessness. He pulled out a hard biscuit from his chest, taking a couple of bites.


    The officer on the right nodded, taking a deep breath of the cold air, and responded, "Yeah, this winter seems especially long. But, in just over twenty days, it''s the beginning of spring, and the weather should warm up."


    The officer on the left sighed, tightened his cloak, and gazed into the distance, suddenly spotting a figure sprinting toward the office from the shadows.


    He rubbed his eyes and jabbed the officer beside him with his spear, saying, "Lao Liu, do you see someone running towards us in the front?"


    "Who would be bored enough to come to the office this late at night?"


    "No, there really is someone."


    "Huh?"


    At his companion''s behest, he focused keenly, indeed seeing someone hurrying to the office.


    The two government officers hadn''t had a chance to speak before they heard the person shout from the front, "Sir, I want to report!"
