Chapter 175 - 122: Did Nan Guess My Identity as the Black Cat Martial Artist?

Chapter 175: Chapter 122: Did Nan Guess My Identity as the Black Cat Martial Artist?

Obviously, Huang and Dao also noticed Zeng Anmin’s heavy tone.

At this time, they needed to change the topic and put the pressure on Zeng Anmin.

In this kind of matter, there could be no hesitation.

Zeng Anmin naturally also knew the situation was urgent.

"But the problem is..." he thought. "I’m currently in the Capital City, so how do I go to the Southern Territory? Why didn’t you mention this when I was still in Liangjiang Commandery?"

[South: The Jiezhi Space belonging to the Sect Leader of the Eastern Sect was stolen. The traitor most likely used the Jiezhi Space to store the explosives.]

[South: Recently, the Sect Leader of the Eastern Sect, Dongfang Cang, has been in secluded cultivation. It is difficult for our Jiang Country’s royal family to intervene in the management of his sect members. Discovering a traitor within the sect this time was also a coincidence. Tracing the clues of the fleeing traitor, we found out that a sect member had already absconded to unknown whereabouts seven years ago...]

[South: This incident happened so suddenly that our entire Jiang Country couldn’t react in time. Right now, you are our only hope.]

[South: North, although I don’t know your true identity, I know you must be in the Southern Territory of the Holy Dynasty. If you can find that traitor from the Eastern Sect, the entire Great River will be endlessly grateful!!]

[North: That is to say, a traitor fled from the Eastern Sect seven years ago, and another traitor just fled from the Eastern Sect. That’s two people, right?]

After Zeng Anmin finished writing, he thoughtfully looked at the back of the Dragon Inspection Map.

He wondered, "How does South know I am in the Southern Territory, and why is she so sure? Could she have already confirmed my identity?"

He could hear the certainty in her words.

"Who would South lock my identity onto, then?" he thought.

[South: Yes.]

Seeing South’s reply, Zeng Anmin first set aside the question of his identity. After reorganizing his thoughts, he wrote on the map:

[North: That is to say, right now, the two traitors are highly likely to rendezvous, using the three thousand catties of explosives to do something unpredictable, causing a massive rift between the Holy Dynasty and the Jiang Dynasty, is that correct?]

[South: Yes.]

Seeing South’s response, Zeng Anmin felt a bit of a headache.

"Great, another organization similar to the Profound Array Department," he thought. "An organization independent of imperial power."

Zeng Anmin felt somewhat anxious. "Someone defected seven years ago, and you only notice it now! Your Jiang Country... seems to be rotten to the core from top to bottom!" he thought.

He took a deep breath, just about to wield his brush to write something, when his whole body suddenly trembled.

He looked at South’s previous paragraph word by word, acutely perceiving a crucial piece of information.

"A sect member fled the sect seven years ago?!" he thought.

His eyes instantly became incredibly sharp.

Seven years ago...

In his ears, Bai Ziqing’s familiar words slowly sounded. That was a clue from when they were investigating the Lou Tong poisoning case.

"There was a maid named Xiang Chun who served Mrs. Lou in this courtyard. She came to the manor seven years ago, but half a year ago, she submitted her resignation and redeemed her deed of bondage."

This sentence wasn’t the main point! The main point was what Bai Ziqing said afterwards!

"Through Xiang Chun, the aura of someone from the Eastern Sect was traced!!!"

Damn it!!

Zeng Anmin only felt his scalp go numb.

"It all connects! Everything connects!" he thought. "The person from the Eastern Sect who fled the Great Saint Dynasty’s Capital City also headed south!!"

An extremely profound gleam flickered in his eyes as he muttered, "Ren Weizhi, and the mastermind behind the scenes... Daring to blatantly send people to kill me must mean you have already grasped the means to bring down my father.

"What means?!"

He took a deep breath and muttered softly, "To bring down my father, it’s impossible to find any loopholes in anything he did in the Capital City.

"Therefore, if I were the enemy, I would definitely start with Fengqi Road.

"Then what could possibly be a loophole that my father wouldn’t be able to escape?"

Zeng Anmin pondered quietly. His gaze had sharpened like the glint of a blade.

After a long time, he slowly looked south.

"Explosives, the Eastern Sect, Fengqi Road, Liangjiang Commandery... the Jiangnan flood from three years ago..."

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

"Using explosives to blow up the Jishui Dam in Liangjiang Commandery, causing the river to flood back into Fengqi Road...

"At that time, the people of Liangjiang Commandery will be plunged into misery, and my father, who supervised the construction of the Jishui Dam, will definitely become Emperor Jianhong’s scapegoat to appease the public’s wrath!!

"In that case, even the crime of embezzling the flood disaster relief funds will highly likely be pinned on my father’s head!

"When that happens, let alone my father being a Third Grade Firewood Carrying Realm expert, even a Saint would have to die!"

Fuck!

An inexplicable fury brewed madly in Zeng Anmin’s chest!

"Truly... a venomous scheme!!" he thought. "If the mastermind behind the scenes and Ren Weizhi really think this way, then the ones sacrificed will be the countless commoners of Fengqi Road!!"

Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin didn’t dare to delay for another moment. He didn’t even look at the responses inside the Dragon Inspection Map.

He directly exited the Sea of Consciousness.

Without any hesitation, he strode towards his father’s room.

However, when he reached the doorway, his footsteps suddenly halted.

"No!" he thought. "Even if I tell my father at this point, it will be completely useless! I haven’t grown wings! It’s absolutely impossible for me to fly to Fengqi Road so quickly!!"

His heart beat wildly: THUMP, THUMP.

Anxiety mixed with a stifling feeling, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, weighed heavily on him.

Finally, his gaze sharpened fiercely.

Bai Ziqing!!

"Holy shit!" he thought. "How could I have forgotten about him?! There’s hope! There’s hope!!"

Zeng Anmin suppressed the violent pounding of his heart and took out a Jade Pendant from the Preparation Space.

This Jade Pendant was entirely solid white. It was exactly the Communication Talisman that Bai Ziqing had given him before leaving!

Without any hesitation, he slowly channeled Vast Righteous Qi into the Jade Pendant.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ.

The Communication Talisman emitted a vibration at a strange frequency.

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ.

Zeng Anmin waited for a long while, secretly anxious. "Answer the call, bro!!" he thought.

Finally, after three breaths, Bai Ziqing’s sleep-heavy voice sounded from within the Jade Pendant.

"Brother Quan Fu?"

"He’s still sleeping!" Zeng Anmin thought. "At his age, how can he possibly sleep?!"

"Brother Bai, something sudden has happened. I’ll make it short," Zeng Anmin said, his voice extremely grave. "Something bad happened. The traitor of the Eastern Sect is highly likely to do something atrocious!!"

"Hm?"

He could clearly feel Bai Ziqing’s body jolt. His sleepiness dissipated instantly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Ziqing’s voice became much clearer.

"You should be following the spy of the Eastern Sect all the way to Fengqi Road right now, aren’t you?" Zeng Anmin’s tone was extremely certain.

"How did you know?!" Bai Ziqing’s extremely astonished voice came through.

As expected!

Hearing this, Zeng Anmin could no longer conceal the dense killing intent in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "The situation is urgent. I need you to drop whatever you are doing right now and head to the Jishui Dam, seventy miles away from Liangjiang Commandery, at top speed.

"Be quick! I received an accurate tip that besides the spy you are currently pursuing, there is another Eastern Sect spy carrying three thousand catties of Thunder Powder. If this Thunder Powder detonates at the Jishui Dam... the consequences will be unimaginable!!"

After hearing this, Bai Ziqing was stunned numb for quite a while. His brain directly entered a crashed state.

"How... how do you... know this??"

Bai Ziqing’s head was spinning. He didn’t understand.

"I’ve clearly been tracking the spy all along and haven’t found anything suspicious," Bai Ziqing thought. "Yet Zeng Anmin has been in the Capital City the entire time. How does he know everything? Could there really be someone born with all knowledge?"

"Don’t worry about how I know, just do it! Once it’s done, I can guarantee that you will firmly secure the position of the Imperial City North Governor!" Zeng Anmin’s tone softened slightly. "The situation is urgent. I don’t have time to explain much to you."

"Alright!" The sound of toes tapping against the ground and the howling wind came directly from Bai Ziqing’s side. It was clear that he was now rushing at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh, right!" Zeng Anmin stroked his chin.

"What is it?" Bai Ziqing asked in surprise.
