"You say it and I listen."

"Ahem," Captain Jiang cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "The so-called 'wooden horse' is just a wooden horse that you're asked to ride, except there's an iron spike on its back. As for the feeling of sitting on it..."

At this point, Captain Jiang himself showed an extremely frightened expression.

Yi Shuihan, however, was already inwardly screaming with rage. "Holy crap, this is the legendary anal assault! This is extreme! If I actually sit down, what will happen?"

"Don't worry, we're just putting on a show. We definitely won't let you actually ride the carousel."

Captain Jiang was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, because right in front of him, Yi Shuihan disappeared without a trace.

"Where is everyone? Why is no one here? They were just here a moment ago."

"We meet again."

"How will you be here?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan in front of him, Young Master Zhong suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, because he was in his own room and alone.

"Let me invite you to ride the carousel!"

With a wave of his hand, Yi Shuihan conjured a wooden horse he had brought from the police station. A bloodstained iron spike on the horse's back looked menacing.

“You…this…” Zhong Shao took several steps back, looking at Yi Shuihan with fear in his eyes and a pleading expression.

"what!"

Young Master Zhong's screams were so pitiful that they instantly alarmed the entire Zhong family mansion.

When someone arrived at Zhong Shao's room, the last thing they saw was Zhong Shao sitting on a wooden horse, his lower body disfigured and bleeding from all seven orifices. He was beyond dead. From his ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes filled with fear, one could tell what kind of pain he had suffered before his death.

"Who killed my son! Find out who it is, I want the murderer to be torn to pieces."

Zhong Aiguo saw his son's corpse, roared loudly, and finally fainted.

Yi Shuihan, who caused all of this, was unaware of the Zhong family's situation. He was strolling leisurely down Zhuque Street, admiring the scenery of the capital.

Young Master Zhong died so tragically, but Yi Shuihan added something to the wooden horse—a drug called "Heart-wrenching Pain," which amplifies pain a hundredfold for a certain period of time. This transformed the already unbearable pain of anal penetration into an inhuman agony that even Yi Shuihan feared. To be honest, Yi Shuihan himself felt he couldn't bear it when he saw it and felt pity for him.

Chapter 235, Spirit Body

"Young man, wait a minute, please wait a minute, hey, wait for me."

An elderly man, about 50 years old and dressed in Taoist robes, ran up from behind Yi Shuihan at a speed of 100 meters per second.

"You called me?" Interesting. He's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator, albeit only at the mid-stage. Could it be that he could see through my cultivation level? That's impossible, isn't it?

"Nonsense, who else could it be but you? Why are you shouting so loudly? Can't you hear me? Why are you walking so fast? If I can't catch up with you, you'll miss a great opportunity and regret it later!" The old Taoist said, putting on an expression that said, "You're lucky."

Yi Shuihan's reaction was indifferent; he did not believe in any so-called opportunity.

"What, you don't believe me!" the old Taoist priest said anxiously. "I, Feng Wuhen, never lie. If I say I have an opportunity to give you, then I will. Come with me, and I guarantee you won't regret it."

"Feng Wuhen?"

Feng Wuhen nodded, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Never heard of it."

After saying that, Yi Shuihan continued walking, completely ignoring Feng Wuhen's thoughts. He didn't believe in free lunches; anyone who offered help for no reason was either up to no good.

"Hey, wait for me. I'm really not lying to you. You'll see if you come with me. You have to believe me. I, Feng Wuhen, never lie. You can find out for yourself."

Seeing that Yi Shuihan completely ignored him, Feng Wuhen actually reached out his hand, intending to grab Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan was caught off guard by Feng Wuhen's actions and was pulled by his hand.

Looking helplessly at Feng Wuhen, she said, "Let go. I don't care about the opportunity you're talking about. So stop bothering me."

"How could you not care? I'm going to take you as my disciple. This is an opportunity that countless people would kill for. Do you know how many people have begged me to be their disciple, but I've refused them all? If you agree, you'll be my only personal disciple, and your future will be limitless!"

"Is there no future?"

"Yes! At that time, even the head of state will have to be mindful of your feelings."

"You're making me a little excited? If I become your apprentice, I can get a promotion and a raise, marry a beautiful and rich woman, become a CEO, and reach the pinnacle of life?"

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Yi Shuihan's next words, Feng Wuhen nodded repeatedly, as if he could already see Yi Shuihan changing his attitude and bowing his head to become his disciple.

It was obvious he was overthinking things. After Yi Shuihan finished speaking, he became expressionless and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"It's more like I'd rather you be my master." To Feng Wuhen's astonishment, Yi Shuihan easily broke free from his grasp and continued walking forward.

"How...how dare he?"

"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master, why are you running so fast? What was the matter with that young man you were pulling away from earlier?"

"Little Flower! Don't you think I look like a fraud? I've already said I wanted to take him as my disciple, but he's so dismissive."

Beside Feng Wuhen, the newly arrived old man listened to his words with his mouth agape, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

The old man had flowing white hair and looked much older than Feng Wuhen. It was quite incongruous that he called Feng Wuhen "Uncle-Master". However, if one knew the truth, it would not seem so strange. Feng Wuhen was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he looked only 50 years old, his real age was actually 227 years old. He was an ancient relic from two hundred years ago.

The old man's name was Hua Yu, 78 years old. He was also a cultivator, but his cultivation level was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, which was a level higher than that of Uncle Jiu. He was a genius in cultivation. He was currently working for the government as the head of the Third Special Operations Division.

Although this era is in the Dharma-ending Age, there are still some extraordinary people and events. At the higher levels, the existence of ghosts and monsters is not a secret.

In order to handle these matters that ordinary people cannot handle, the government specially established a special department to manage them. This department is the Special Operations Department, which is divided into three sections. One section is for handling martial artists who know kung fu, and the members of this section are all martial artists.

The second department consists of masters of feng shui and formations, while the third department specializes in dealing with ghosts and zombies.

The Special Operations Department does not have a minister, but only three section chiefs. The section chiefs hold very high positions, reporting directly to the head of state. Their power is so great that, in some respects, they have the right to refuse orders from the head of state. Of course, under normal circumstances, they generally do not refuse orders from the head of state.

As the head of the Third Section, Hua Yu held a high position and wielded great power. He was the kind of person who was not to be trifled with in the capital. However, most people did not know him; those who did were truly the top elites in the capital.

Feng Wuhen was actually invited to the capital by Hua Yu to handle a major matter concerning the fate of the country. Feng Wuhen had only been in the capital for a few days. This time, Hua Yu took him out to relax. Unexpectedly, while they were strolling around, Feng Wuhen suddenly ran out to chase after that young man, Yi Shuihan, which led to the scene before.

"Uncle-Master, you're not joking, are you? You want to take that young man as your disciple? That young man hasn't agreed."

"Hmph, do you think I would lie? I've finally found a promising talent. No, I can't give up. Quickly find out his identity. I must take him under my wing."

"Why does my martial uncle value him so much?"

“A spirit body. I never thought I would see a spirit body. Although I can’t be sure what kind of spirit body it is, even the worst spirit body can cultivate to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage without any obstacles and easily break through to the Void Return stage. If the opportunity is right, it can even achieve the Dao Integration stage and become an immortal.”

Feng Wuhen said with a look of deep emotion, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Even though we are in the Dharma-ending Age, with my guidance, they can at least break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and there is still hope for them to return to the Void realm. When I die, it will be a good thing that I have a successor."

"A spirit body! It's a spirit body that's one in ten thousand, even in ancient times! Uncle-Master, are you sure you're not seeing things? How could a spirit body appear in this era? This is the end of the Dharma!"

Upon learning the truth, Hua Yu was shocked and no longer had any doubts about his uncle's previous actions. If it really was a spirit, it was perfectly normal for his uncle to be so eager to take the young man into his fold. If it were him, he would probably pester him relentlessly to get him to agree to become his disciple, after all, it was a spirit!

Chapter 236, A Good Young Man

"I see." A few hundred meters away, Yi Shuihan showed a knowing look. "But this spirit body, even I didn't know such a thing existed. He's so sure. Could it be that I really am a spirit body? This is really interesting."

Yi Shuihan, who originally didn't plan to have any further dealings with the old man, has now changed her mind and intends to ask him about spiritual matters next time they meet.

The knowledge I gained from Uncle Nine was far too basic; it's time to get my hands on some more advanced techniques.

If you can achieve such a fast pace in cultivating basic mental techniques, I wonder how fast you'll be able to cultivate more advanced ones?

Although he had the idea of ​​communicating with the old man again, Yi Shuihan planned to wait for the old man to come to him in person. He would definitely not go to see the old man if he had to do it himself.

钟府

Zhong Aiguo listened quietly to his subordinates' report. When he heard about Yi Shuihan and learned that Yi Shuihan was no longer at the police station, he keenly sensed something was amiss.

"This matter is definitely related to this young man. This Trojan horse is the one that went missing from the police station. It is very likely that he took it away. But how did he take it away so quietly, and how did he sneak in here and kill someone?"

Even Zhong Aiguo, as the president of a huge chamber of commerce, knew some things that ordinary people did not, and felt that this matter was very troublesome.

“Someone, go and invite Master Ge,” Zhong Aiguo said, then suddenly interrupted, “Never mind, I’ll go myself.”

The Master Ge mentioned by Zhong Aiguo is actually named Ge Yang. He is a Taoist priest in the late stage of Qi Refining. However, this Taoist priest belongs to the crooked sect and specializes in robbing and killing people for money. He is registered in the Special Operations Department, but because of his powerful cultivation, ruthless actions, and ability to leave no trace, even though many people know that he is the one who did it, the Special Operations Department can't do anything about him.

Of course, this is all on the surface. Don't assume that the Special Operations Unit needs to abide by the law. Sometimes, they can take action with just a suspicion.

Most importantly, Master Ge is extremely cunning and hides in very secret places, making him very difficult to find. Even if he is found occasionally, he will quickly move on, so he has not been caught yet.

The fact that Zhong Aiguo, this patriotic industrialist, knew Master Ge's location shows that he is not as simple as he appears on the surface.

"So, you suspect that person belongs to the same category as me." After listening quietly to Zhong Aiguo's description of Yi Shuihan, Ge Yang spoke indifferently, seemingly not taking Yi Shuihan seriously.

It wasn't that Ge Yang was arrogant; rather, he had the confidence to be arrogant. As someone who broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining at the young age of 46, he was a genius that was hard to find even in a thousand years in the cultivation world. He was even stronger than Uncle Nine. Although he hadn't broken through to the Divine Transformation stage at the age of 56, he was in a state where he could break through at any time. He might suddenly break through at any moment and become an existence that completely surpassed mortals.

Even in ancient times, before the end of the Dharma era, his cultivation speed was quite good. If it weren't for the current constraints of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he would definitely be a Nascent Soul cultivator by now, and not just at the initial stage.

If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, Ge Yang could be considered the most talented person of his time.

56-year-old Ge Yang looks like a 30-year-old youth, much younger than Zhong Aiguo. However, the young man sits calmly, while Zhong Aiguo stands to his left with a respectful expression. If others saw this scene, they would definitely question their own existence.

"Master Ge, please help me capture this man. I want him to pay for his crimes in blood." With his only son dead, how could Zhong Aiguo not be furious?

"No problem, since it's your request, it's just..."

"Rest assured, Master. Once this matter is accomplished, I am willing to offer you 2% of the shares of my Chamber of Commerce as a token of my respect."

"2%?"

The young man was taken aback and looked at Zhong Aiguo with surprise. This 2% might not seem like much, but in fact, Zhong Aiguo only controlled 4%. This was equivalent to giving up half of his wealth. Even Ge Yang couldn't help but be tempted by this wealth.

"Very well, no matter what this kid's abilities are, I will definitely bring him before you and let you kill him with your own hands." The young man said with a loud laugh, and the powerful magic fluctuations of the late stage of Qi Refining were released without restraint, causing the entire room to shake.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Aiguo revealed a sinister smile, clearly already imagining the scene of Yi Shuihan bowing down before him.

"You don't seem to have anything special about you. Apart from being a little good-looking and having a good temperament, you don't have any other advantages. So why did Grandmaster Uncle take a liking to you?"

In front of Yi Shuihan, a beautiful woman in military uniform, about 27 or 8 years old, kept looking at him curiously.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Hmm, perhaps you don't know why yourself? That's true, maybe Grandmaster Uncle is mistaken. But even so, I'm taking you there so Grandmaster Uncle can see for himself. So, come with me."

After the woman finished speaking, she tried to pull Yi Shuihan away, but her hand grasped nothing.

"Who are you? You're spouting nonsense right off the bat. And don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? How dare you harass an innocent young man in broad daylight? What kind of behavior is this?" Although Yi Shuihan could roughly guess the other person's origin and purpose from their words, she didn't show it and pretended to know nothing.

"You... what did you say? I don't mind, but you... don't you know how many men want to pursue me? They don't even have a chance to touch me. You've taken such a big advantage and you're not even grateful. You actually turned around and bit me. You call yourself a respectable young man? I'm a respectable young woman!"

The woman pointed at Yi Shuihan in a fit of rage, as if she had heard something extremely offensive.

However, Yi Shuihan remained unmoved. After hearing her words, he simply said "Oh" and made no further response.

This attitude was undoubtedly infuriating, and the woman's anger, which had just subsided, was reignited. "What kind of attitude is this? Are you looking down on me, Hua Ya? This is really annoying!"

Hua Ya clenched her fists, her face flushed red, looking like she wanted to attack but was holding back.

Chapter 237, Ge Yang Makes His Move

To be honest, Hua Ya's appearance was quite amusing to Yi Shuihan, which made a smile unconsciously appear on his lips.

Hua Ya had been watching Yi Shuihan's expression closely. When she saw Yi Shuihan like this, she immediately thought it was a mocking smile, and her rationality was completely suppressed.

"I can't take it anymore. So what if you're the one my grandmaster has taken a liking to? I'm going to teach you a lesson today."

Hua Ya is a genius no less than Uncle Nine. She broke through to the early stage of Qi Refining at a young age. Although she is still a long way from breaking through, her strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Of course, in Hua Ya's eyes, Yi Shuihan was just an ordinary person with no cultivation. Even if she wanted to teach Yi Shuihan a lesson, she wouldn't go too far. Therefore, she didn't use magic, but instead used her fists and feet.

Even in Taoist cultivation, martial arts skills are generally practiced as an auxiliary skill. Although Hua Ya's skills are not strong, two or three ordinary men cannot get close to her.

Hua Ya intended to subdue Yi Shuihan with a single grappling move, and then thoroughly torture him using her unique methods.

But is Yi Shuihan the kind of person who would surrender so easily? He effortlessly thwarted Hua Ya's plan.

When her first attack missed, Hua Ya didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a coincidence. However, when she missed again and saw Yi Shuihan's ambiguous smile, she finally realized that Yi Shuihan was exceptionally skilled.

"So what if you know a little kung fu? You think I really can't do anything to you?"

A wisp of magical power emanated from Hua Ya. She opened her mouth slightly and let out a soft shout. Yi Shuihan felt an invisible force impact in front of him, and his body was bound by a weak binding force.

This force was indeed very weak to him, and he could break free with a little effort, but in fact, even a strong adult would find it difficult to break free from this force.

"I've caught you! Doesn't it feel strange that you can't move all of a sudden?" Hua Ya looked at Yi Shuihan triumphantly, completely unaware that there was no surprise in Yi Shuihan's eyes at all, but rather a look of amusement.

Just as Yi Shuihan was about to continue teasing Hua Ya, he suddenly looked in a certain direction.

"Did you find it? I've been looking for it for ages, buddy!"

"Ah! It's you, Ge Yang?"

Hua Ya saw Ge Yang's expression change drastically, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes. She did not think that Ge Yang was speaking to Yi Shuihan, but thought that Ge Yang had come to see her. After all, her master Hua Yu had ruined Ge Yang's plans several times, and they were already in an adversarial relationship.

What should I do? How did this old monster end up here? No, I have to lure him away, otherwise this kid might get killed by the old monster.

Before Hua Ya could make her next move, she felt her hands being enveloped in a warm embrace—a warmth she had never experienced before. The moment she felt this warmth, she was completely enveloped in a special state, feeling as if her whole being was melting.

The warmth came quickly and disappeared just as fast. Before she could react, Yi Shuihan was already standing in front of her, blocking Ge Yang.
