The Serpentâs Tongue Sword was crafted using the Bone Taoâs twelve Dharma Phases of the Divine Appearance Secret Method; its main material was the Dharma Phase of a Snake Bone Face, created through virtual solidification.Sharp as a serpentâs tongue, once infused with Path Origin energy, the blade could become flexible.
It was a fierce and unpredictable sword.
The body of the Snake Bone Face fell backward, and because Jiang Wang held the Serpentâs Tongue Sword without moving, the blade slowly withdrew from her heart.
Using her clothes to wipe the blood off the Serpentâs Tongue Sword, Jiang Wang casually took out the small box she had tucked away.
When previously looking for her Tongtian Palace location, he had âincidentallyâ learned about the existence of this box.
As for murder and looting, Jiang Wang hadnât been a stranger to these acts before he became transcendent; he had no qualms dealing with mountain thieves and bandits.
He and Ling He relied on those mountain thieves to support their livelihood, and even Zhao Rucheng and Fang Pengju wouldnât concede a single Knife Coin, sometimes arguing for half a day over who should get a bit more.
This beautifully engraved small box was a Mo Familyâs secretly crafted Storage Box.
The value of a Storage Box lies in its materials and the secret Array Patterns.
Its preciousness is determined by the size of its storage space.
Admittedly, Jiang Wang didnât have many valuable items at hand that needed to be carried around, so he hadnât thought of buying one.
Of course, financial embarrassment was also one of the reasons.
The actual space inside the Snake Bone Faceâs Storage Box was about a square meter.
Its value was around ten thousand Prime Stones, or a hundred thousand Knife Coins.
Bear in mind that when Jiang Wuyong gambled with Jiang Wang, the bet he added on top of his secret Dao Techniques was only ten thousand Knife Coins.
This shows the preciousness of the Storage Box.
The principle behind the Storage Box isnât actually that complicated.
Many formations can reverse positions, move spaces, so expanding and shrinking space is not uncommon, and trapping thousands of soldiers within a formation isnât rare either.
Many powers actually have the capability to make Storage Boxes and indeed use their self-made Storage Boxes, refusing to purchase from the Mo Gate.
However, for one thing, in terms of operability and universality, the Mo Gateâs secret Array Patterns for storage are always the best.
And secondly, most of the raw materials for making Storage Boxes are monopolized by the Mo Family.
Thus, the Mo Family has almost made the Storage Box into one of their unique businesses.
Moreover, even though purchasing a Storage Box from the Mo Gate is so expensive, itâs much cheaper than the cost of making one oneselfâŚ
Opening this Storage Box engraved with unnamed flowers and plants, the items inside were all placed in a miniature form and would return to their original state as soon as they were taken out.
Upon closer inspection, they were mostly garments, rouge, face powder, and the like, along with a snake bone mask.
The only truly valuable things were two Knife Coins, one of which had only three thousand three hundred Path Origins left.
It seems the Bone Tao wasnât having an easy time under Zhuang Countryâs manhunt.
Wrapped in a piece of jade silk brocade cloth which could preserve items, itself already of considerable value, in the depths of the box was presumably what the Snake Bone Face valued most.
This kind of cloth was typically used to nourish items, and it was already valuable in itself.
What kind of treasure could it be, wrapped and treasured within this cloth?
Jiang Wang couldnât help but feel expectant as he carefully took it out and unfolded it to seeâ
It was a damaged dog bone mask.
It was so broken it was worthless to him.
Could it be that even someone as notorious as the twelve Bone Taoists cared for certain people and things?
He always felt that the Snake Bone Faceâs will to fight wasnât strong, probably had been scared off by someone before, and now it seemed likely that it related to the death of the person who owned this dog bone mask.
Jiang Wang didnât linger on such sentiments.
He wrapped the shattered dog bone mask back up with the snake bone mask in the jade silk brocade cloth and placed them on the body of the Snake Bone Face.
Then he took all her other items out and piled them on her body, keeping only the two Knife Coins from the Storage Box and the Serpentâs Tongue Sword.
He then dropped a flame flower, incinerating them together with the corpse of the Snake Bone Face.
But as the flames burst to life, he suddenly noticed the small bell hanging on the Snake Bone Faceâs hand flashing a dull light in the fire.
Strangely enough, he had always paid great attention to this little bell, which indeed caused him a great deal of interference during the fight, and he had even specifically asked about it during the questioning.
Yet, when tallying his spoils of war, he had âoverlookedâ it!
How could this be?
Jiang Wang frowned and flicked his finger.
A flame divided into a fire snake, carrying a small bell as it darted upwards, bringing it before him.
He spread his palm, and the fire snake dissipated, the bell falling down.
The tiny bell, with a green vein running through it, settled in his hand.
It suddenly shattered, exploding into countless gray specks of light.
âWho is it?â
A dry, monotonous voice rose among the gray specks.
Although it was clearly a question, it lacked the tone of inquiry.
Instead, it was more like a declaration of some sort.
A profound indifference mixed with a fear that seemed to crawl out from the depths of his heart intertwined.
Jiang Wangâs hair stood on end, and before he could think, his body had already reactedâhis legs kicked off, propelling him into a distant leap.
He fled into the mountain forest at the extreme speed he had used to pursue the snake-boned assailant, then dashed out of the forest again.
He ran for half an hour until that overwhelming sense of fear subsided, and only then did he stop.
By then, numerous swellings had appeared on his body, and there was even a spot that had started to puss!
His throat was so sore he could hardly speak, and his forehead was burning hot like a branding iron.
This was an epidemic a hundred times more severe than the one before, even though the owner of that voice had not truly reached out in attack.
Jiang Wang immediately sat cross-legged, executing the Four Spirits Body Refinement Technique to resist the invasion of the epidemic poison.
At the same time, he continuously deployed the Swallowing Poison Flower, absorbing the rampaging epidemic poison within his body.
Blossom after blossom of the Swallowing Poison Flower burst, his body alternating between hot and cold.
The natural vitality of his body and the invading epidemic poison were in a constant struggleâŚ
Not until nightfall did he barely withstand the invasion and his body recovered to health.
What a terrifying epidemic poison, what a terrifying person!
The Bone Tao Holy Master?
He had a faint guess in his mind.
He naturally remembered Zhang Linchuanâs voice, and Lu Yan and Dong Ahâs roaring above Fenglin City were even more unforgettable.
There was no need to mention Miao Yu.
Among the absolute high-ranking members of Bone Tao, the voice of the Bone Tao Holy Master was the only one he had not heard.
If this plague-bell was related to the Bone Tao Holy MasterâŚ
wouldnât it mean that the rat plague in Yang Country was indeed part of the Bone Tao Holy Masterâs schemes?
This was extremely important intelligence!
If handled properly, perhapsâŚ
Of course, Jiang Wang was utterly unwilling to return and see what that plague-bell had turned into now.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
He should not take unnecessary risks.
Jiang Wang got up from the wilderness, roughly judged the direction, and quickly found the nearest official road, walking along it.
The vast night surged back and forth as if a hidden ferocious beast lurks in the dark, salivating and ready to pounce out and swallow him whole at any moment.
He seemed oblivious and fearless.
As he walked, a lofty city appeared in his sight.
Two characters were inscribed on the city gateâCang Feng.
When Cang Feng is full, the people are contentâa wish that could not be more simple.
As he approached the city gate, Jiang Wang suddenly remembered that the assassin called Su Xiuhang seemed to come from an assassin organization within this city region.
That small assassin organization apparently had a rather illustrious nameâ
It was called World Building.
