My power increases 100 Jin a Day-Chapter 476 - 207: One Palm! (Part 2)

After a while,

The courtyard suddenly emitted slight movements, and a tall figure walked in from outside. This figure was clad in a profound robe, wearing a mask, and immediately scanned the interior of the hall with its eyes.

Chen Long, Chou Niu, and Zi Shu quickly stood up from their seats and greeted him, saying, "My Lord!"

Jiang Shi gently nodded, his gaze swept past them and instantly focused on the middle-aged man deep in the hall, saying, "Can he provide what we need?"

"Yes, my Lord."

Chen Long responded.

"Hmm."

Jiang Shi walked forward directly and sat grandiosely in the position where Chen Long was previously seated, asking, "Shopkeeper Linghu, could you elaborate on the matter you asked us to help with before?"

Shopkeeper Linghu looked surprised, constantly sizing up Jiang Shi, a look of amazement deepening in his heart.

Yin Hu!

This is actually Yin Hu!

Since when did he become the leader of the Twelve Zodiac Gods?

Or has he always been the head of the Twelve Zodiac Gods, and I just didn’t notice?

Hearing Jiang Shi’s question, Shopkeeper Linghu smiled slightly and said, "Well, it’s like this, hasn’t the city been under lockdown lately? However, I learned that a traitor appeared on the side of the [Thirty-Six Alliance], named Fang Zhongyu, who stole a valuable artifact belonging to [Thirty-Six Alliance] and possesses a list of exceptionally precious names from the [Thirty-Six Alliance]. It’s said that another two sects within [Thirty-Six Alliance] have sided with the [Demon Path Alliance], but which sects exactly are not clear to outsiders. Currently, only this person knows, so both the [Thirty-Six Alliance] and the [Demon Path Alliance] are desperate to find this person. I’m seeking your Twelve Zodiac Gods to commission you to help find this person."

"Oh?"

Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed with surprise, saying, "A traitor from the [Thirty-Six Alliance]? And he possesses their list?"

"Yes."

Shopkeeper Linghu smiled, saying, "To be honest, many in the entire Qilin City are trying to find this person, so if you take on this task, you should be prepared in advance."

Jiang Shi quickly pondered in his mind.

Unexpectedly, the [Thirty-Six Alliance] has fallen to this level now.

It seems that nowhere is peaceful.

"Why are you looking for this person? Are you from the [Demon Path Alliance]?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

"Hehe."

Shopkeeper Linghu chuckled, saying, "Brother Yin Hu, as far as I know, the rules of the Twelve Zodiac Gods never involve themselves in the affairs of their clients, right? Does Brother Yin Hu intend to break this rule?"

"Hmph."

Jiang Shi snorted lightly, saying, "Not really. Do you have information on Fang Zhongyu? What is his strength? Does he have any experts around him? Where was he last seen?"

"I do have some, but not entirely comprehensive."

Shopkeeper Linghu immediately nodded, saying, "According to our information, his cultivation is around the fourth Holy Spirit’s return to the ancestors, and he has no other companions, oh, except a maid who doesn’t have much strength. The last place he was seen is right here in Qilin City, and since the city is under lockdown, he has nowhere to escape, but Qilin City is so vast, it’s incredibly difficult to find him."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Shi pondered, suddenly looking at Shopkeeper Linghu and saying, "We’ll take on this task."

"Straightforward!"

Shopkeeper Linghu smiled slightly, giving a thumbs up, saying, "Working with your Twelve Zodiac Gods, truly straightforward."

"Don’t be too happy too soon. You had better prepare the materials we need in advance. I don’t want to hand the person over to you and end up not getting the materials."

Jiang Shi said coldly.

"Brother Yin Hu, please rest assured in this regard. I absolutely will not deceive your Twelve Zodiac Gods."

Shopkeeper Linghu said.

"That’ll do then."

Jiang Shi nodded, stood up from his seat, and said, "That being the case, we won’t stay any longer. Farewell."

"Take care."

Shopkeeper Linghu clasped his hands and immediately escorted them out.

With a flash of shadows, Jiang Shi and his men disappeared from here.

"How is it? Is this Shopkeeper Linghu trustworthy?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Rest assured, my Lord. We’ve engaged in several transactions with him before, and he seems to be a reliable person. We’ve also secretly investigated his background, and it appears he doesn’t belong to the [Thirty-Six Alliance], but neither to the [Demon Path Alliance]."

Chen Long whispered.

"So he’s a third party?"

Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, but we still don’t know his exact background."

Chen Long responded.

Jiang Shi was deep in thought.

This Qilin City is becoming more chaotic.

"In the next couple of days, utilize all your connections to find that Fang Zhongyu."

Jiang Shi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my Lord."

Chen Long and the others said with a clasped fist salute.

···

Time passed quickly, and three more days went by.

Jiang Shi stayed withdrawn in the courtyard, gathering intelligence on various city situations through reports from the Twelve Zodiac Gods.

For three consecutive days, it was clearly felt that the waters in the city seemed to have become murkier.

Every night, powerful figures emerged, engaging in duels.

In fact, the most recent one happened only a dozen meters from Jiang Shi’s residence, almost affecting his place.

Many houses around him suffered devastating destruction.

For a time, sounds of sighing and lamenting spread continuously among the people.

Nightfall came.

It was another clear night with a bright moon.

Jiang Shi looked at the letter in his hand, pondering, and suddenly crushed it, his figure flashing as he quietly left the courtyard.

In three days, the Twelve Zodiac Gods finally sent back information again.
