Chapter 579: Chapter 317: The Killer is Zui Fusheng

Jiang Man’s courtyard.

"Are you not going to cultivate Mr. Ji’s power application first?" Ji Shoumo asked curiously.

"Mhm." Jiang Man nodded and said, "I need to break through first."

"Is applying this power not as good as improving your Cultivation?" Ji Chenfeng hesitated for a long time before saying, "How about we don’t rush to break through for now and cultivate the power application first instead?"

How could they handle him wanting to break through first?

What they feared was never Jiang Man’s hard work, but rather him working hard and breaking through at the same time. If he broke through right under everyone’s noses like this, how could anyone cultivate in peace?

But they couldn’t just not keep an eye on him.

Jiang Man nodded and said seriously, "Alright, then I won’t break through for now. I’ll focus on my Cultivation."

Hearing this, the three from the Ji Family left, completely satisfied. However, they hadn’t gone far before they started discussing among themselves.

"Is he deceiving us?" Ji Linglong asked.

Ji Shoumo was silent for a moment before replying, "Don’t overthink things."

Watching them leave, Jiang Man began his Cultivation.

Saying he wouldn’t focus on it was naturally to humor his Gold Masters’ requests. He couldn’t let them feel that their Spiritual Sources and Elixirs had been wasted. That would be too unfair to them. But it was also impossible for him to truly stop his Cultivation. After all, the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart was about to catch up to him.

For his Cultivation, he needed Void-Invoking Summer Yuan Pills. They cost five thousand five hundred each. He had bought some from Ji Meng at a thirty percent discount, all paid for with what Ji Shoumo and the others had given him. Now, combined with his own stash, he had a total of one hundred Elixirs.

He still had three hundred thousand Spiritual Sources left. His stock of Spirit Refining Pills was running low, so he still needed to earn more Spiritual Sources. With only four months left, he had no idea how to earn them.

Unfortunately, the Spiritual Sources from Mr. Ji and Mr. Tantai wouldn’t arrive until next year. He wondered if they allowed advance payments.

Putting these thoughts aside, Jiang Man began his Cultivation. Swallowing an Elixir, he circulated the Nine-star Primordial Spirit Technique to improve his Cultivation base.

The second Gourd was also gradually accumulating energy.

Five days later, it reached twenty percent.

Ten days later, forty percent.

Mid-October.

It reached sixty percent.

By this time, he had already put off learning the power application. He had no choice; there simply wasn’t enough time.

However, on this day, Jiang Man suddenly felt a change in the Array once again. The Array designed to make his own power backfire on him was becoming increasingly severe. The other party evidently assumed he was completely oblivious and continued to increase its intensity.

"Looks like they’re about to make a move," Jiang Man sighed with some emotion.

He was very curious about who would dare to be so bold and reckless. Weren’t they afraid of the consequences of killing someone here?

Normally, anyone who dared to do such a thing was either a Death Warrior or someone with absolute confidence in their ability to escape.

Jiang Man asked the Old Yellow Ox which category it might be. The Old Yellow Ox didn’t answer and just kept eating grass, but not long after, it suddenly spoke, "Something happened to Zhao Tiankuo."

Hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback. He asked, "What happened to him? As a Demon King, how could he be bullied in the Outer Sect?"

No matter how you looked at him, Zhao Tiankuo was not someone easily bullied. Back in the Yunqian Bureau, he had been very adept at utilizing his identity, and he had even entered the Outer Sect presenting himself as a genius. By now, he should be around the Third Courtyard. If he continued playing the genius, it should be time for his Core Formation. It was even more impossible for him to be bullied.

The Old Yellow Ox chewed its grass, sensing for a moment before saying, "It shouldn’t be that kind of trouble. He seemed to have been trying to send messages to me, but they were intercepted halfway.

"Moreover, it feels like the distance grew further with each attempt.

"He has been taken away.

"It should be the Demon Race. Otherwise, the messages wouldn’t have been intercepted so precisely."

"Someone from the Demon Race?" Jiang Man said in surprise. "Isn’t he a Demon King? Why would the Demon Race come looking for him? Not only that, but he was forcefully taken away.

"By the way, didn’t he say he was going to make up a story for you last time?

"Did he do it?"

"Not yet. The problem likely stems from the story he intended to weave last time, as well as the people behind it," the Old Yellow Ox said casually.

Hearing this, Jiang Man suddenly recalled what Ting Fengyin had said—he could help the other party and keep them around to bait out the people behind the scenes.

Jiang Man said rather helplessly, "I wonder how strong the people who took them are, and which direction they went."

"I’ll give you a Magic Skill that can trace the past, but it requires invoking the Evil God’s Technique," the Old Yellow Ox said.

If it was possible, it naturally hoped Zhao Tiankuo could stay rather than be taken away. There were times when it still needed him to pass on messages.

While Jiang Man was learning the Magic Skill, he suddenly noticed signs that the Array was being triggered.

"It moved? Are they planning to deal with me now?" Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. "Zhao Tiankuo gets taken away, and these people make their move right after.

"Could they be part of the same group?"

However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t see how the two sides could be connected.

Having learned Old Huang’s little trick, Jiang Man managed to trace the source with its help.

"Have they left the Sect yet?" Jiang Man asked.

Since this tracing invoked the Evil God’s Technique, he was somewhat worried. What if he ended up exposing himself?

"They’ve stopped. They should have already left the Sect, and are likely waiting for someone," the Old Yellow Ox said.

Sensing his own Array, Jiang Man had an absurd thought. Could the other party be waiting for the people coming to kill him to finish the job, so they could regroup and leave together?

Shaking his head, Jiang Man stepped out of the courtyard and said, "I’m going out to take a look."

He had to see if he could keep Zhao Tiankuo from being taken. It was one thing for Ting Fengyin to completely fail in completing any missions, but if Zhao Tiankuo also failed here, he would likely face even more mockery.

It would make him seem completely useless. Taking so many benefits, yet still failing. That was not a qualified partner to work with.

Especially in broad daylight.

Still, the other party was truly bold, daring to make a move in broad daylight. Not only did they capture Zhao Tiankuo, but they also intended to kill him.

Besides, was there no reaction from the Law Enforcement Hall? Or were the attackers just too strong?
