Chapter 150: Secret Arts of the Witch Clan
He must report this matter to Chu Junze as soon as possible so that they can make the next plan.
Su Xinghe hurried back to the palace and told Chu Junze his discoveries and experiences in detail.
After listening to this, Chu Junze frowned, realizing that things were much more complicated than they had imagined. The identity of this mysterious man and his relationship with those symbols also became the key to solving the mystery.
Thinking of this, Chu Junze decided to take action himself and investigate the matter in depth.
After nightfall, he changed into night clothes, took Long Yi and Yin Yi with him and left the palace.
During the day, the secret guards failed to catch the mysterious man, which made Chu Junze deeply realize that the man's martial arts were definitely extraordinary.
You have to know that those who can eventually become secret guards are elites who have undergone rigorous training. They are not only skilled in martial arts, but also have good coordination with each other.
However, even so, the mysterious man still escaped.
Chu Junze and his group were seen quietly moving through the streets and alleys of the capital, looking for the trace of the mysterious man.
Finally, in a remote alley, they found some clues.
Looking at the powder remaining on the ground, it is now emitting a faint fragrance.
Chu Junze carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and prepared to take it back to the palace for research.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.
Chu Junze immediately signaled everyone to hide. He looked around vigilantly. After a moment, a dark shadow slowly approached with a package in his hand.
The dark shadow walked to the middle of the alley, stopped, and looked around.
Chu Junze held his breath and watched the black shadow's every move.
Suddenly, the black shadow seemed to have noticed something. It turned around and looked in the direction where Chu Junze and the others were hiding.
At this moment, a flash of cold light passed by, and Chu Junze moved as fast as lightning, with his sword already unsheathed, piercing the black shadow's throat. The black shadow dodged sideways and started a fierce fight with him.
The two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
Suddenly, the black shadow kicked the sword in Chu Junze's hand and took the opportunity to retreat.
Chu Junze was quick-witted and quick-handed. He caught the hilt of the sword and swung it forward, scratching the black shadow's arm.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow threw away the package in his hand and took the opportunity to escape over the wall.
Chu Junze picked up the package and opened it. Inside was a yellowed book. He flipped through the pages and his expression became more serious.
He stared at the book in his hand. There were several ancient characters engraved on the cover. He recognized that it was a rare secret book.
The contents of the book are densely packed, recording some strange spells and incantations.
He realized that the book might hide a huge secret, perhaps related to the mysterious man and the conspiracy in the palace.
Chu Junze decided to take the book back to the palace and study the secrets in it carefully. He believed that this secret book would be the key clue to solve the mystery.
At the same time, Black Shadow fled back to his lair injured and reported the failure of the mission to the mastermind behind the scenes.
When the mastermind behind this heard this, he was furious and ordered Black Shadow to get the secret book back, otherwise he would be severely punished.
After receiving the order, Hei Ying sneaked into the palace again. He used his Qinggong to avoid the patrol of the guards and came to the vicinity of Chu Junze's bedroom.
Just as he was about to take action, he found Chu Junze standing at the window, seemingly prepared.
Chu Junze sneered and then drew out the sword in his hand.
He had long expected that the black shadow would come back to snatch the ancient book, so he waited here on purpose.
So when the two people's eyes met, tensions immediately mounted.
The black shadow flashed and rushed towards Chu Junze like a ghost.
Chu Junze was not afraid, and waved his sword to meet the challenge. In the fierce battle, Chu Junze gradually gained the upper hand, and his sword skills became more and more fierce. In the end, he stabbed his arm with one sword, and the black shadow fell to the ground instantly.
Then Chu Junze called Long Yi, Yin Yi and others to tie up the man.
Su Qianqian looked at him with admiration. There was nothing she could do about it; he was just too handsome!
Chu Junze walked up to the black shadow and kicked him, "Tell me, who sent you here?" The black shadow kept silent, his eyes flickering.
"You won't say anything, right?" Chu Junze squatted down and pinched the black shadow's chin. "Do you think I can do nothing if you don't say anything?"
At this time, Su Qianqian came over and said, "Why don't we search him first to see if there is any evidence."
Chu Junze nodded and signaled Long Yi and Yin Yi to search the black shadow's body.
After a while, Yin Yi found a token from the black shadow, on which was engraved a special symbol.
"It seems that this is the key clue to find the mastermind behind this." Chu Junze held the token thoughtfully, "Take him away and lock him up first, and give him a shot of truth serum."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then Long Yi and Yin Yi left with the black shadow.
"Qianqian, thanks to the poison you put on my sword, I could have knocked him down by just stabbing him a little." Chu Junze looked at her gently.
The reason why Su Qianqian smeared poison on his sword was mainly because this black shadow dared to hurt her brother, so she had to make him suffer.
"I just wanted to avenge my brother. You are the best. You took care of him in just two moves."
"Haha, don't be so modest. However, we still have to be careful. I don't think the mastermind behind this will give up." Chu Junze looked serious.
"Yes, I know." Su Qianqian nodded, "By the way, how is my brother? Is he injured?"
"Don't worry, your brother only suffered minor injuries. He has been bandaged and is resting now." Chu Junze comforted.
"That's good." Su Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, this incident is indeed very strange. Once Long Yi and the others have finished interrogating that person, we may know." Chu Junze analyzed.
"I hope so! If nothing can be found, I'm afraid someone else will be harmed." Su Qianqian said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Zhan Ping and your brother are already investigating. I believe the truth will be revealed soon." Chu Junze held Su Qianqian's hand tightly with a firm look in his eyes.
"I feel relieved when you say this." Su Qianqian smiled slightly, feeling extremely warm in her heart.
At this time, a guard came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Master Long wants to see you."
"Let him in." Chu Junze said.
Long Yi walked into the room, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already interrogated the man in black. He is a spy sent by the Wu Clan. This assassination is to retrieve the Wu Clan's secret technique."
"Witch clan?" Chu Junze frowned.
Long Yi replied, "Yes, according to the spy, in the package you took that night, there was a yellowed ancient book, which recorded the secret techniques of their witch tribe."
"I see!" However, Chu Junze suddenly remembered something, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Then what do they want to do in Dazhao?"
