Who let him join the Sword Sect?!
Chapter 1063 - 510: Not Pure Love, Pure Combat; Not Yandere, Just Plain Sick
As for those past events, with the secretive uncle not speaking, Zhang Ze wasn’t able to do anything about it.
After all, no matter how much he probes, nothing will come out.
The secretive uncle’s lips are tightly sealed, not a word leaks out.
So, after leaving ten pounds of mushrooms as hush money to the fat bear, the group left the cave and met up with Li at the agreed location.
Li was in quite good condition now, the entangling black smoke had not reoccurred, and the lively creature skillfully climbed onto Zhang Ze’s shoulder.
The one hundred and eighty people of Su La’s village had all been evacuated with Li, now temporarily residing inside the Beast Taming Ring in Li’s hand.
According to Su La’s feedback, it’s quite comfortable inside, though just staying like this feels rather embarrassing.
"Su La asked me to tell you, if you need them for anything, please do say, they’ve all agreed."
Li reported the situation while rhythmically patting its belly.
"Oh, and one more thing, on the way here, I saw a black Flying Ship carrying a group of people flying towards Valley City, judging by their attire, they should all be those black and white envoys.
"If you hadn’t told me not to alert them, I would’ve wanted to blast them all with a Divine Dragon spray.
"What a pity."
Zhang Ze rubbed Li’s head, indicating there’s no hurry, there will be a time for it to spray.
Earlier in the bear’s cave, Zhang Ze had already discussed the plan with his secretive uncle.
Sticking to the principle that the simpler the plan, the more reliable it is, Zhang Ze chose the simplest tactic: he would go fishing, and the secretive uncle would cast the net.
With the Innate Dao Body, he reckoned he could serve as a punching bag for quite a while.
As for how to draw the enemy’s attention, it would all depend on Zhang Ze’s on-the-spot performance.
On this matter, no one had any objections or concerns.
In their view, this job was naturally tailored for Zhang Ze.
Mr. Zhang’s talent in this aspect is beyond doubt.
After discussing the general plan with Li, Zhang Ze placed Little Fuji on Li’s head.
"When my secretive uncle and I go to catch the Divine Envoy, you and Fuji should head to the grand hall in the city. Don’t bother with what’s inside, just take anything valuable and useful you see.
"Those little twin tails are under your command as well, and the spoils can be appraised and organized with the help of Su La and others, as locals they should be able to discern something?"
Li made an OK gesture, indicating that such a task was a piece of cake, and no Magical Treasure could escape its nose.
However, Little Fuji didn’t immediately agree and instead started thinking.
After a moment, she gestured for Zhang Ze to wait, then somehow produced a Flower Love Mask and put it on.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.
Little Fuji, "Transforming, this move is called the Divine Mask Role-play Technique, watch closely, transform!"
With a puff, following Little Fuji’s chaotic casting, she turned into the likeness of Lily.
Except being only palm-sized, she looked exactly like Lily, especially with the sneaky gestures and gaze.
Zhang Ze, "Well, as long as it makes you happy..."
Little Fuji, "Hee hee, boss, just watch, I’ll definitely complete the task."
Zhang Ze, "..."
——————
After uneventful black silk stealth, the group arrived near Valley City.
Seeing those newly appeared stone towers, over thirty meters tall, Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment.
"Were these here before?"
"I don’t remember seeing them before." The Lily-disguised Little Fuji shrank back, getting cold feet, "Maybe we should go back, I suspect this is a trap."
Zhang Ze, "...."
It’s unclear if it’s good or bad, but Little Fuji’s role-playing technique seemed to have gotten a bit too immersive.
Ignoring the acting Little Fuji, Zhang Ze handed the extra black silk over to Li.
Once Li transformed into a black silk bandit and went into stealth, and the secretive uncle disappeared with the Black Sword, starting to nurture Sword Intent, Zhang Ze lifted his disguise and swaggered into the city.
But strangely, there wasn’t a single Heavenly Soldier and General, nor was there the expected thunderstorm.
Aside from the sporadic sound of stones being moved, the city was eerily silent.
Though a bit eerie, he still walked into the city with an unabashed stride and soon arrived at the place where the battle had previously taken place.
He once again saw that Colorful Robe Fairy, now barefoot, standing on the ground, seriously building a stone tower with her back to Zhang Ze.
Behind her, those Divine Envoys in black and white clothes were all crouched on the ground, heads pressed against the floor, not daring to breathe.
In front of them lay a headless corpse, its head facing Zhang Ze, with a confused and innocent expression remaining.
Zhang Ze cleared his throat, "Um, is anyone here to receive us?"
No one responded to him.
Zhang Ze kicked the nearest white robe, who kept the kneeling position, turned over like a toy turtle.
Still, no one responded to him.
Including the white robe he kicked.
This situation made Zhang Ze uncomfortable; he, who is usually successful and unassailable, had, for the first time, failed his attempt at getting attention.
In short, it was very frustrating.
But as they say, still inexperienced, the seasoned Zhang Ze quickly identified the crux of the problem.
It’s probably not about whether the backside is big enough, but whether it’s attractive enough.
The key is whose backside it is.
Evidently, in this Colorful Robe Fairy’s eyes, Zhang Ze’s backside held no allure.
To catch her attention, it would require the secretive uncle to intervene.
