Chapter 511 The Real Culprit (Part 1)
Li Tianwei is a strong, burly man with a resolute demeanor. If you ignore the ugly scars on his face, he has a decent appearance overall.
The scars on his face were from saving Fang Shouming.
When they were out, they were attacked by a monster. In the critical situation, he bravely stood in front of Fang Shouming.
In the end, the monster was killed in time, and the two of them survived, but half of Li Tianwei's face was torn off.
Even after receiving the best treatment from the Fang family, this incident still left a large scar on her face.
Of course, every effort will be rewarded.
Because of this, he was deeply trusted by Fang Shouming, and many shady benefits were taken over by him and kept internally.
“I’ve also made contact through Zhao Laogou’s keepsake…” Dong Feng quickly replied.
However, before he could finish speaking, a light red veil gently descended from the sky and instantly wrapped around the bamboo chair.
"It seems I haven't arrived too late..."
Before everyone's eyes, a woman in red, her face veiled, appeared in the bamboo pavilion with a charming smile.
The woman's face was veiled, revealing only a pair of alluring and captivating eyes.
Her red dress covered her completely from top to bottom, but there was a diamond-shaped opening at her lower abdomen, the bottom corner of which revealed a glimpse of her fair and smooth skin.
The striking contrast between white and red is so captivating that it's impossible to look away.
"Mandala, it's been a long time..."
Before the group could react, the bamboo forest swayed, and another faint sound drifted over.
Da da da…
Bamboo leaves fall, and a person stands on a bamboo grove, with their back to the crowd.
The figure wore a straw hat and a brown robe, with a medicine pouch hanging at his waist, and a faint scent of dizziness and drowsiness emanated from him.
"Ghost Scorpion, I didn't expect you to come too. Our Young Master Fang, you certainly have a lot of influence..."
The woman in red glanced at Fang Shouming with a seductive look, her alluring beauty stirring his heart.
"You two, stop dawdling here. It's getting late, sit down and make a plan for tonight, and get this over with as soon as possible."
Another person emerged from the bamboo forest; it was none other than Zhao Laogou, who had been following Fang Shouming and investigating Chen Lingmo's serious injury.
"I believe you two already have some understanding of the ins and outs of this matter, so I won't go into details here. Tell me about your discoveries." Fang Shouming sat in the middle of the bamboo table in the bamboo pavilion, gently waving his folding fan, and looked at Gui Xie and Mandala.
“This piece of fabric did indeed originate from my side…” Mandala took out a piece of black fabric and showed it to everyone.
She was wearing an extremely form-fitting red dress, the tight red skirt perfectly outlining her body curves, her alluring figure seemingly without an ounce of excess fat.
She was like a succubus tempting one to commit a crime, radiating a captivating allure in the dim light.
I have no idea where she stuffed that piece of black cloth before.
"However, I cannot be certain as to who commissioned it or whose specific person received it."
She shook her head: "I can only be sure of one thing, that is, this special black robe was indeed delivered to the vicinity of Huayang City."
What she held in her hand was the half of a black robe that Zhao Laogou and Fang Shouming had painstakingly salvaged from Huahu Lake that day.
"Is that all the information you have? These clothes came from your side, so don't you have any more detailed information like the payment method and delivery address?"
Fang Shouming frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
The reason he specifically brought Zhao Laogou along on this trip to the secret realm was actually because of Chen Lingmo's matter.
After finding fragments of the murderer's clothing in Huahu Lake, Zhao Laogou quickly mobilized his connections among the demonic cultivators, and news kept pouring in from numerous channels.
The origin of the black robe was quickly determined.
The Palace of Ten Thousand Flowers is home to many women who primarily practice martial arts using unusual weapons.
"Qimen weapons" is just a fancy name; in reality, Wanhua Palace relies mostly on external forces such as hidden weapons, poisons, and beast taming.
This is what is known as the heretical path. Therefore, Wanhua Palace is the largest neutral gathering place for independent cultivators in the entire Yunzhou, and also the place that accommodates the most demonic and heretical cultivators.
This place is bustling with commerce and trade, and its open and free atmosphere makes it the largest place for people from the demonic path to sell stolen goods.
The largest black market in the entire Yunzhou is actually located here. Many rare items also circulate from here.
The robes worn by the murderer originated from the black market in Licheng.
“Young Master Fang, you should also know the rules of our black market… We don’t ask about the customer’s background or the origin of the goods. As long as they can afford the price, we will agree to their requests…”
Mandala casually crossed her legs, her fair toes, painted with red nail polish, swaying gently, captivating Fang Shouming's two henchmen.
Upon seeing this, Fang Shouming merely frowned but remained silent.
This woman, Mandala, appears to be promiscuous and open-minded, but in reality, she is ruthless. Over the years, many have tried to take advantage of her, but most of them have become fertilizer, nourishing the flowers, plants, and trees.
Mandala continued, "The fact that I've made an exception to tell you so much information is already breaking the rules..."
Moreover, the person who bought this item paid extra and requested confidentiality, and the channel used was the most secretive underground channel.
"I only knew the address was in Huayang City because I killed the contact from that other time."
Her tone was blunt, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.
The term "underground channel" actually refers to a third-party force that naturally emerges when the black market develops to a certain scale.
Compared to items on the open market, most items on the black market are shady and have a story behind them.
However, some extremely useful items can only be found on the black market.
Therefore, not only those in the demonic path, but also many righteous people have a demand for items from the black market. Thus, the Dark Channel, a third-party force that independently operates between the black market and buyers, came into being.
The underground channel is responsible for laundering various items of dubious origin and delivering them to righteous individuals who do not wish to reveal their identities through a legitimate means.
Because of its secretive and highly efficient operations, it is extremely popular and its development speed is very fast, even though its fees are a bit high.
“Young master, knowing the final destination of this black robe is enough. It can completely verify our previous speculations.”
Seeing that the atmosphere between Mandala and Fang Shouming was a bit tense, Zhao Laogou quickly spoke up and stepped in to mediate.
