The Strongest Curse Master: Start by refining the Seven Arrows Book

#216 - Chapter 216 Hong Yi and the Criminal

Behind these criminals' names were the bounty amounts offered in the Emperor Plane.

However, to claim the bounty, one must first accept the task at the Task Hall; otherwise, even if the criminal is killed, nothing will be received.

Of course, if the criminal is killed by someone else after the task is accepted, the reward still belongs to the person who accepted the task.

Fang Che checked the bounty information of these targets and quickly found some materials he needed.

Fang Che walked out of the Iron Hand Gang, activated the transformation array in a hidden and deserted corner, and then headed to the nearby Task Hall.

After searching for a while on the wall where task tokens were placed in the Task Hall, Fang Che found the task to eliminate criminals.

Since each person can only accept one task at a time, and each task has a time limit, people will not accept tasks casually without knowing the criminal's location.

Fang Che didn't need to worry about these issues. As long as the target information was accurate, he could use the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to eliminate them.

Fang Che quickly accepted a task to eliminate a fourth-order criminal and registered it.

Afterward, Fang Che spent money to rent a cultivation room.

As soon as he entered the cultivation room, smoke emerged from Fang Che's body and was absorbed by the walls.

This indicated that someone had left a tracking signal on Fang Che.

Fang Che was not surprised by this situation.

When faced with benefits, most professionals would have the idea of snatching them.

The benefits from these criminals were considerable. If others could follow Fang Che and delay him until the task expired, they could steal the task.

However, such methods were useless to Fang Che because even he didn't know where the criminals were.

Fang Che chose to enter the cultivation room to remove the marks on his body just to avoid some trouble.

After a while, the marks on Fang Che's body were completely removed. Fang Che activated the transformation array, changed into another appearance, and then walked out of the cultivation room.

Leaving the cultivation room, Fang Che found a deserted corner, recorded the target information, took out the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book, and began to worship.

This time, Fang Che did not use the energy of other professions to create wounds, but adopted the most basic method to make the target die without leaving any traces.

He chose this method of death for the target because he was worried that the target was still in a state of confinement.

In a state of confinement, outsiders cannot enter. If the target died too obviously, Hong Yi might release all the prisoners.

Letting the target die without leaving any traces would make it easier for Hong Yi to侥幸(harbor illusions/take chances) and continue to detain other criminals, so as not to expand the impact.

After a while, the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book took effect, and the white paper with the target information turned into powder.

Fang Che immediately set off to the Task Hall to collect the reward.

At this moment, in a certain plane, Hong Yi, who had just annihilated a group of indigenous people, noticed that something was wrong with an item in his Niwan Palace, and his expression instantly became serious.

Hong Yi instructed the people next to him, "Continue to strengthen the defense line to prevent the enemies of this plane from counterattacking."

Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Hong Yi turned and left, came to a hidden place, took out a black sphere from his Niwan Palace, and injected energy into it.

The next second, the black sphere gradually became transparent. Inside the sphere, there was a woman lying on the ground, motionless.

Hong Yi asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

The woman in the sphere remained motionless.

Hong Yi continued, "I said long ago that I would let you out if I had the chance. Don't pretend to be dead to deceive me."

The woman remained motionless.

Seeing this, Hong Yi frowned and said, "Sorry for the offense."

Then, Hong Yi injected more energy into the sphere and condensed a special symbol on the surface of the sphere.

The next second, electric light flashed on the woman's body in the sphere.

But the woman remained motionless.

After the electric light continued to flicker for a quarter of an hour, Hong Yi directly smashed the sphere, and the woman appeared outside.

Hong Yi stepped forward to check and said in disbelief, "How could she die? Why would she die?"

Hong Yi couldn't understand.

However, the woman's body was placed here, and it was useless for Hong Yi to not understand.

Hong Yi sighed, carefully inspecting the items on the corpse.

After searching all the resources, Hong Yi sighed again, muttering to himself, "It's a pity about the things she hid, I wonder who will get them cheap?"

Then, Hong Yi took out a potion, sprinkled it on the woman's body, and melted the body.

Although this woman was a criminal, and her corpse could be exchanged for a reward, Hong Yi obtained this criminal through improper channels and had released many criminals before.

If he handed over this corpse, it was likely that Hong Yi's previous release of criminals would be investigated.

Hong Yi didn't want to expose these secrets, so he could only give up that reward.

After completely cleaning up the woman's body, Hong Yi's body stiffened, and he took out the sphere from his Niwan Palace again, injecting energy into it.

The sphere slowly became transparent, showing another criminal lying motionless on the ground.

Hong Yi quickly used energy to condense symbols and stimulate the man with electricity.

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Yi smashed the sphere, looked at the body on the ground, and said in disbelief, "What's going on?"

Then, Hong Yi quickly took out seventy-seven black spheres from his Niwan Palace, injected energy, and made the spheres transparent.

Each sphere contained a criminal.

Hong Yi hurriedly said, "Just now, two of the prisoners were inexplicably killed, without any wounds on their bodies. Do you know what caused this?"

The criminals imprisoned in the spheres were instantly nervous upon hearing this.

The criminals were all imprisoned by the same Black Hell Master. The inexplicable death of someone made the other criminals feel a strong sense of crisis.

However, no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't think of the reason.

Just then, a criminal imprisoned in a sphere fell to the ground without warning and stopped moving.

Hong Yi shouted in horror upon seeing this, "Another one died!"

The criminals' nervous emotions turned into horror upon hearing this.

At this time, a criminal said, "The Black Hell Master who captured me is good at formations. When he imprisons others, he will set up a self-destruction formation. When the time comes, he will kill people. The dead person should have been eliminated by the self-destruction formation."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi thought for a moment, put away the sphere where the speaking criminal was, and also put away the spheres of other criminals, only keeping one.

Then, Hong Yi asked, "Tell me specifically about the Black Hell Master who captured you."

The criminal in the sphere could only hear Hong Yi's words. As for the voices of the criminals in other spheres, he couldn't hear them at all.

Therefore, Hong Yi prepared to learn about the Black Hell Master from others to see if there was such a thing as a self-destruction formation.

He did this because he was afraid of being tricked.

When Hong Yi first obtained these criminals, he was often deceived by them.

Therefore, Hong Yi would verify the information he obtained from the criminals every time.
