556: News from Yidaoxia?

“Send the bodies of the Qiu Sect members and this python demon to the Night Watcher!” Old Master Zhang ordered the You Family after watching Shen Bei leave.

You Zhi nodded, but couldn't help but ask, “Do we really have to follow him?”

Although You Zhi hoped to improve their relationship with Shen Bei, Shen Bei had killed Hong Long after all, and for them, as descendants of Hong Long, to follow Shen Bei still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

“A great person is not bothered by trivial matters,” Old Master Zhang said. “Following Shen Bei is also a temporary measure. I heard that Bi Kun is still digging up people from the Ancestral Master's lineage. If we don't want to flee the Imperial City, following Shen Bei is the best option; it means we have an informant who is a Night Watcher Team Leader. Moreover, his words just now were clearly an attempt to recruit us. We have no reason to refuse the recruitment of the successor to a hidden great Family. We truly need a backer.”

You Zhi said, “You are right, Lord!”

Old Master Zhang said, “Is there any news about You Feng? If he were here, it could bring our relationship to the next level.”

You Zhi shook his head and said, “Many people have been sent to look for him, but he still hasn't been found.”

Old Master Zhang sighed and said, “So be it! Then we can only rely on proper means to gain his trust. From now on, you must carry out his orders with utmost diligence!”

“Yes!” You Zhi said. Watching Old Master Zhang leave, You Zhi sent people to deliver the body of the Qiu Sect expert to the Night Watcher.

He didn't know that this expert had originally intended to tell him You Feng's whereabouts today.

He died a very aggrieved death. Who would have thought that Shen Bei could be so intimate with You Zhi and his group? Completely immoral and shameless!

…

At this moment, Shen Bei was walking on the street. His followers had all been dismissed to do their own things.

He, on the other hand, arrived at the courtyard where he had last seen Prince Wei.

He didn't use the main entrance but directly climbed over the wall.

He checked around.

There was no one in sight, neither inside the house nor in the courtyard.

“It seems this really is Prince Wei's hidden abode, and he doesn't come here often.”

Shen Bei muttered a few words; he had wanted to report his achievements.

He decided against it.

He would meet Prince Wei sooner or later, so there was no rush.

But, by coincidence.

Just as he climbed out of the courtyard, he saw Prince Wei and a stranger push open the door and enter.

Prince Wei and Shen Bei were not surprised.

The other stranger, however, was startled. If Prince Wei hadn't stopped him, the man would have slapped him.

“Is this a short temper or a stress response?”

Shen Bei remained calm, a faint smile playing on the corner of his lips, as he squatted on the top of the wall.

This strange foreigner had bronze-colored skin, was two meters tall, and his shoulders alone were the size of an adult man's head.

His exposed forearms looked like they were cast from bronze and iron, exuding a strong wildness. The man's tea-colored pupils stared intently at Shen Bei, and even when Shen Bei looked at him, he did not flinch, like a spotted lizard in the wilderness.

“Why are you here?” Prince Wei was the first to ask.

Shen Bei said, “To report on my work.”

Prince Wei's mind was a mess.

Voluntarily reporting on work?

So proactive?

Prince Wei coughed. “Someone sends a copy of everything that happens at the Night Watcher to me daily. There's no need to come in person.”

Shen Bei, with a thick skin, said, “I think reporting in person allows for clearer details.”

Prince Wei's mouth twitched noticeably.

Other Night Watchers wished to stay far away from him, fearing being caught in a mistake or work error and being reprimanded.

Yet, Shen Bei actively sought him out.

Truly proactive.

Prince Wei leaned over and whispered a few words into the stranger's ear.

Presumably, he asked him to wait in another room for a while. The stranger nodded and entered the side room.

Prince Wei waved his hand. “Come down. I'd like to hear what you want to report.”

Entering the main room.

Prince Wei had just sat down.

The next moment, he sprang to his feet with a 'thump'.

He saw Shen Bei take out a jade box. Inside the box was something like a blood-colored amber. Prince Wei felt the cool aura emanating from it, and she immediately recognized it as the Qiu King's Yin Soul.

The first-generation Qiu King used his own Divine Soul and Qi and blood, with the aid of natural amber, to create this supreme treasure, capable of summoning the Yin Fire of heaven and earth. It was rumored that every generation of the Qiu Sect could Cultivate the invisibility technique because of this treasure.

“You… took down the Qiu Sect?” Prince Wei's eyes widened, looking at Shen Bei with extreme surprise.

“A trivial matter,” Shen Bei said with a hint of nonchalance.

Prince Wei nodded with satisfaction. “Very good, very good. Since you joined, the Night Watcher has been thriving. I was not wrong about you.”

“It's just a pity…” Prince Wei pointed at the Qiu King's Yin Soul and said, “The invisibility technique not only requires this item but also a specific Secret Manual for Cultivation. No one knows how this thing works except the people of the Qiu Sect, otherwise you could also Cultivate the invisibility technique.”

Shen Bei felt a slight regret, thinking Prince Wei might have some useful information.

But it seemed not.

This was also the reason Shen Bei sought out Prince Wei. If Prince Wei had a way to deal with the Secret Manual, he could also Cultivate the invisibility technique for fun.

Now it seemed… besides showing off, it seemed useless.

“Put it away,” Prince Wei pushed the item back. “If there's nothing else, you can go back.”

Shen Bei did not leave. After hesitating, he said, “Your Highness, I can't eat now.”

“Is it a lack of appetite, or the food—”

At this point, Prince Wei suddenly interrupted herself, slowly widening her eyes as she looked at Shen Bei.

“Oral… Oral Decline?”

Shen Bei nodded.

Prince Wei was somewhat bewildered. Not only had Shen Bei passed the Ear Decline, but now he had actually reached the stage of Oral Decline. This speed was incredible!

She calculated, and it hadn't even been seven days.

How did Shen Bei do it?

Three Ear Acuity Pills actually helped him pass the Ear Decline, and he was even able to reach the Oral Decline in one go. Most importantly, he took the time to deal with and take down the Qiu Sect during this period.

Even that Genius who passed the Ear Decline with three Ear Acuity Pills couldn't have achieved such speed.

Prince Wei didn't think too much; she couldn't understand it anyway.

She took out a jade bottle from her Pregnant and handed it to Shen Bei, saying, “These are Medicinal Pills for passing Oral Decline, Wax Flavor Pills. After consumption, your sense of taste will be greatly diminished, thereby alleviating the unpleasant sensation brought by Oral Decline. However, whether you can pass Oral Decline still depends on your talent and strength. There are still three pills.”

Shen Bei swallowed the noodles in his mouth, then took the bottle and said, “Your Highness, can you give me the other Medicinal Pills as well? I think I should be able to pass the Little Five Decays very quickly.”

Prince Wei hadn't had time to react when she heard Shen Bei say, “I should be able to pass Oral Decline very quickly, and it won't be long before I enter the other stages of the Little Five Decays. To avoid troubling Your Highness every time, it would be better to give them to me all at once.”

Prince Wei looked at Shen Bei. This young man was too confident. He actually wanted to pass the Little Five Decays in one go. There was no such person in the world.

However, since Shen Bei had eliminated the Qiu Sect this time, he couldn't go unrewarded.

Prince Wei took out another jade bottle and said, “I have the Medicinal Pills for these three declines: Ear, Nose, and Mouth. However, during Eye Decline, when your eyes are full of floaters, there are no exclusive Medicinal Pills to use. The Ming Mirror will be more effective for you. And for Heart Decline, it is the only one where no Medicinal Pills are useful; you can only pass it by relying on your Dao Heart.”

Speaking of this, Prince Wei took out another notebook and handed it to Shen Bei, saying, “These are some of my insights on how to pass the Little Five Decays. Although everyone's experience is somewhat different, they all lead to the same goal. You can refer to them to understand.”

Shen Bei took it and said, “Thank you, Your Highness!”

“Is there anything else?”

“Are we getting new people at the Night Watcher?”

Prince Wei: ???

Aren't you a new Night Watcher yourself?

Then, upon reflection, Prince Wei realized Shen Bei was referring to the stranger in the side room.

Prince Wei said, “His name is Zhen Li. He just returned from One-Blade Gorge and has some secret news to report.”

One-Blade Gorge?

That name sounds so familiar…

Shen Bei remembered, wasn't that the place where Wu Bi'an's enemy, the Burial Sea Secret Lord, last disappeared?
