The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the Jianghai Palace, where indeed four or five common people were standing, each nervously waiting.
"Everyone, this is our Lord Fang," Yin Shiwu introduced.
"Whatever problems you have, feel free to tell Lord Fang. He will solve them for you!"
The elderly man leading the group glanced at Fang Yuan, and a look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.
"Why is this lord so young? Where is Lord Chongwu Hou?"
"We came to meet Lord Chongwu Hou. The monster in our county is terrifying. Only Lord Chongwu Hou can deal with it!"
"Yes, yes!" The others chimed in in agreement.
"Lord Chongwu Hou... he..."
Yin Shiwu was about to answer when he saw Fang Yuan raise his arm, signaling him to be quiet.
Then, Fang Yuan stepped in front of the elderly man and suddenly grabbed his head.
"What are you doing?" The elderly man trembled in fear.
Fang Yuan chuckled and said, "Do you know your disguise skills are terrible?"
"Possessing this old man and then inciting a few people to cause trouble, do you think you can fool everyone?"
"With this dog-shit disguise of yours, you still think you can meet Lord Chongwu? What a fool."
Upon hearing this, Yin Shiwu immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand, and the guards of Jianghai Palace quickly surrounded the group.
The others still looked expressionless, but the elderly man suddenly laughed: "Discovered, huh..."
"But it doesn't matter. After all, what's in front of you isn't really me. Kill or maim, feel free to do as you wish..."
The elderly man wasn't at all panicked. Instead, he appeared fearless, gazing at Fang Yuan with a playful look.
"Young man, your insight is impressive... how about joining us?"
"Following Lord Chongwu has no future. He looks mighty, but he's just a dog of the Yan Kingdom's royal family!"
"What did you say!" Hearing someone insult his master, Yin Shiwu immediately became furious.
"Alright," Fang Yuan nodded decisively. "I can join, but you'll have to tell me who you are first."
"Heh, I can't say that. Right now, you're not qualified to know," the elderly man smiled and shook his head.
"However, if you're willing to answer one question, I might consider it."
"Go ahead."
"Is Lord Chongwu still in Jianghai Prefecture?"
Fang Yuan laughed. "Tsk, you haven't even gathered this piece of intel. Looks like you're just some third-rate organization."
The elderly man furrowed his brow. He was about to speak when Fang Yuan added, "Oh, so he's here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yuan's left hand forcefully pried open the elderly man's mouth, and his right hand shot in like lightning, inserting a finger into his mouth.
When the finger came out, it was holding a small fleshy lump between his fingers.
The lump looked like a tiny human figure, with a shocked expression on its small face: "How did you find me?"
"Fool, do you really think I was just chatting with you?" Fang Yuan chuckled. "I was just buying time to observe and confirm your location."
When Fang Yuan first saw the elderly man, he noticed that there were two names above his head.
One was "Jianghai Prefecture citizen: Zeng Aniu," and the other was "Changsheng League member: Xing Sen's avatar."
So, Fang Yuan immediately realized that the old man was being possessed, and that's why he patiently conversed with him.
However, he had never heard of the Changsheng League.
"Hahaha, not bad, you're really good!" After a brief shock, the tiny figure in Fang Yuan's hand began laughing.
"Young man, your insight is stronger than I imagined. I'm even more interested in recruiting you into our organization!"
The tiny figure, still in Fang Yuan's hand, spoke arrogantly:
"But today's meeting ends here. We will meet again!"
"Before that, though, I have a surprise for you!"
With a sudden loud bang, the tiny figure exploded violently, turning into countless sharp blood spikes that rushed toward Fang Yuan's face!
But an invisible wave of force sent all the blood spikes flying, not a single one of them touched Fang Yuan's face, let alone injuring him.
"You still dare to talk big before self-destructing? How arrogant..." Fang Yuan sneered.
"Lord Fang, what's going on?" Yin Shiwu asked nervously.
"You'll know soon enough." Fang Yuan said, tossing the elderly man into Yin Shiwu's arms, then disappearing in a flash.
At the same time, in a guest room of an inn in Jianghai Prefecture, Xing Sen, lying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
"How unlucky..." He sat up, cursing, "There's such a little brat in Jianghai Palace who can see through my martial arts talent."
His plan hadn't even started yet, and it had already been thwarted.
"However, the self-detonation of my avatar should have killed him. Haha, he was just asking for it..."
Xing Sen revealed a sinister smile. The little brat had dared to play with his avatar in his hand and even got close to observe!
The explosion's blood spikes were enough to turn the brat's head into a sieve!
Thinking of this, Xing Sen's mood improved considerably. But just then, a gust of wind blew, and the previously shut window in his room inexplicably opened.
His gaze shifted to the open window, and his expression suddenly turned terrified.
Because he saw a young man standing next to the window.
It was Fang Yuan, the very person he had just encountered...
Not only had the brat not been killed by his blood spikes, but he had also found his real body in such a short time?!
How is that possible?!
"You were right..." Seeing Xing Sen's terrified face, Fang Yuan smiled.
"We really meet again. Your identity as a prophet is confirmed, and as for me, I like to take care of prophets first."
The moment the little figure exploded, Fang Yuan had suspected the mastermind was still in the city.
He immediately used his True Vision to scan the entire city and found a red-named figure, whose name was also Xing Sen.
So, Fang Yuan traced the lead here.
As the Lord of Jianghai Prefecture, stationed at Jianghai Palace, he couldn't let someone act so recklessly in front of him, issuing threats and launching sneak attacks. If he let this person go unscathed, then Fang Yuan wouldn't deserve to be the strongest in Jianghai Prefecture.
