This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 353 - 77: Evil Beast_3
Chapter 353 -77: Evil Beast_3
In the nearby thicket, Shangguan Xiao, dressed in a night garment, covertly lurked in the shadows, spying.
This batch of goods, which she arranged from Xing City, was meant for Zhang Shiwei to prevent him from setting a trap for her—a majority of the Elixirs in the truck were fake!
Shangguan Xiao hoped to use this batch of fake goods to lure out the people behind Zhang Shiwei.
She wanted to see who exactly Zhang Shiwei was dealing with, how he could even exchange for Third Level Protective Clothing, a strategic resource?
Thus, she secretly followed out tonight.
If Zhang Shiwei truly was colluding with spies from the Western Countries, it was highly possible that they really did poison Zhang Zongyang!
A few minutes later, a small car drove from the other end of the road and finally stopped in front of the truck.
Three people alighted from the car and negotiated with the people sent by Zhang Shiwei.
Soon, the two parties began to transact.
Just as Shangguan Xiao was about to rush forward and subdue everyone present, a streak of Sword Light suddenly tore through the night sky, appearing above everyone’s heads.
A piercing boom rang out from afar, as dazzling light emanated from the sword, creating an illusion as though a round moon had suddenly appeared above their heads!
Captivated by this illusion of the moon, Shangguan Xiao found all her attention drawn to it.
Such a beautiful moon it was, seemingly encompassing all the beauty in the world.
The next instant, Shangguan Xiao was startled back to her senses, realizing she was affected by a Magic.
“Yue Ye Yuan Yue Hua Guang?!”
Shangguan Xiao recognized this spell as one of the signature Taoist Techniques of Jiang Jin, the deputy director of the Righteous Law General Institute.
Why was Jiang Jin here?
Soon after, she saw several figures rushing out from the darkness, pouncing towards the parties engaged in the transaction.
These individuals, influenced by Jiang Jin’s “Yue Ye Yuan Yue Hua Guang,” had no power to resist and were easily captured.
Shangguan Xiao narrowed her eyes and recognized these suddenly emerging figures as the official martial masters from Zhi Ge General Hospital.
Therefore, the Government was also aware of tonight’s transaction.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiao emerged from the thicket.
“Who goes there?”
Several martial masters immediately turned to look at Shangguan Xiao.
The Flying Sword hanging in the air emitted a sword cry, and a Sword Intent locked onto Shangguan Xiao.
“It’s me, Shangguan Xiao.”
Shangguan Xiao declared loudly, “The goods on the truck are all fake; tonight’s transaction was deliberately facilitated by me to fish out the person behind the scenes.”
“You facilitated this transaction on purpose?”
Just then, a deep voice sounded from the nearby thicket.
Shangguan Xiao turned to look.
A middle-aged man with narrow eyes, holding a longsword, was approaching.
This person was named Fu Lang, also a Helmsman at Zhi Ge General Hospital, and he was very close to Zhang Zongyang on regular days.
“Uncle Fu Lang, you’re here too.”
Shangguan Xiao had known Fu Lang from a long time ago, “You can check the Elixirs on the truck; most of them are fake. I just want to draw out the person behind this.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Lang turned and signaled one of his subordinates, who immediately went up to the truck to check.
After several minutes, the martial master came down from the truck and nodded to Fu Lang: “Indeed, very realistic, most of the Elixirs are fake.”
Fu Lang’s expression eased as he spoke to Shangguan Xiao: “This matter is of great importance, you need to accompany us back to Zhi Ge General Hospital for a cooperative investigation.”
“No problem.”
Shangguan Xiao agreed without hesitation.
She too wanted to know the truth.
Thus, the group quickly returned to Datong Prefecture City.
That evening, Shangguan Xiao stayed in the Zhi Ge General Hospital building.
The next morning, she was called in for questioning again.
The interrogator was still Fu Lang.
“Uncle Fu, have you found anything? Is Zhang Shiwei colluding with spies from the Western Countries? Was it him who poisoned my father?”
Shangguan Xiao asked directly.
Fu Lang looked at Shangguan Xiao with a complex expression:
“Zhang Shiwei indeed has collusions with spies from the Western Countries, he has confessed.”
Shangguan Xiao clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a murderous intent: “Did he administer the poison?!”
Fu Lang observed Shangguan Xiao’s expression seriously, as if trying to discern something.
Shangguan Xiao, sensing something was amiss, frowned and said, “What is it?”
Fu Lang took a deep breath, staring intently at Shangguan Xiao and said deliberately:
“Zhang Shiwei said, among those who have been colluding with spies from the Western Countries over the years includes you, that you and he conspired together to murder the Zhang Family Head, Zhang Zongyang!”
Boom—

Fu Lang’s words struck Shangguan Xiao like a bolt of Thunder!
She staggered, her eyes widening as she stared at Fu Lang:
“What did you say?”
The news of her father’s death, her return to Datong Prefecture City, the Western spies, the Iron Blade Sect being sealed off, the destruction of Iron Blade Sect, Zhang Shiwei’s odd reactions…
All of these events flashed through Shangguan Xiao’s mind in an instant.
For a moment, she felt as if a malevolent beast had always been lurking in the darkness, ready to prey on her.
Now, malice was surging from all directions.
It was coming to kill her!
