Nightmare Apostle

Unexpectedly, Fu Qingzhu smiled slightly, the gloom on his face dissipated significantly, and a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Haha, of course I’ll do it myself."

"You?" Yang Xiao looked surprised.

Seeing this, Fu Qingzhu was unhappy and shouted, "What, am I not capable? Good brother, do you look down on me like this?"

When he arrived, Yang Xiao sensed that Fu Qingzhu’s current strength was slightly stronger than Peak of Fierce Level, but not up to Half-step Ghost Level.

At this level, escaping from a true Ghost-level Apostle would be a blessing, let alone turning the tide in a two-versus-one.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao seemed to think of something and exclaimed, "It’s...that Bone Fan, you used the ability of that Bone Fan again!"

Before leaving, Yang Xiao repeatedly urged him not to overuse that Bone Fan, as it was beyond what he could handle at this stage.

If this continues, he will inevitably be countered by it, and he won’t even know how he dies when it happens.

Since Yang Xiao didn’t sense any spiritual power disorder or unusual fluctuation from Fu Qingzhu, he subconsciously thought Fu Qingzhu had given up on that Bone Fan, but clearly, that wasn’t the case.

As if to verify his ability, Fu Qingzhu flipped his wrist, and the Bone Fan acquired from the former Chamber of Commerce president appeared in his hand.

In the next second, the intensity of spiritual power on Fu Qingzhu doubled, rising to nearly Mid-stage Ghost Level before barely stopping.

But looking at Fu Qingzhu’s relaxed demeanor, it was clear he hadn’t reached his limit.

Even someone as experienced as Yang Xiao couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, involuntarily asking, "How did you do it?"

It’s important to know that Yang Xiao could understand the increase in spiritual power intensity, and he also knew the ability of that Bone Fan, but the real rarity was Fu Qingzhu’s current state. He hardly felt any backlash from the magic artifact.

"Hahaha." With the Bone Fan in hand, Fu Qingzhu naturally exuded a sense of domination, which stemmed from extreme confidence in his own strength, "Good brother, you’re allowed to have encounters, but can’t you let me pick up some benefits too?"

Fu Qingzhu played coy, squinted his eyes, and waited for Yang Xiao to ask him what was going on. But unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Yang Xiao didn’t ask, and the scene became quite awkward.

"Aren’t you going to ask what’s going on?" Fu Qingzhu felt Yang Xiao was being unreasonable, not following the script, the words were on his lips, he couldn’t just not let him speak.

"I’m not asking." Yang Xiao voluntarily said, "And don’t say it, I’m not curious."

"No, buddy, if you act like this, you’ll have no friends." Fu Qingzhu sat down feeling aggrieved, put away the divine skills and eventually couldn’t help but say, "Right after you were transferred to the Provincial Bureau, I received a secret tip-off. Near Rongcheng, there would be a transaction involving a group of Evil Cultivators, and the other party was descendent of the Southern Border Liu Family."

"Southern Border Liu Family?" Yang Xiao frowned, "Is it Southern Border Air Marquis Liu Chengfeng?"

Fu Qingzhu smiled mysteriously, "That’s right, it’s him. The ones trading with Evil Cultivators this time are a few unworthy juniors from the Southern Border Liu Family."

This Southern Border Liu Family, Yang Xiao had heard of before; they’re a renowned aristocratic family, historically situated in the southwest, their overall strength is not inferior to established forces like the Yiling Academy.

The current head of the family, Liu Chengfeng, is a top expert too. In his early forties, he stepped into the Netherworld Realm and has been dubbed the top Space Magic Artifact expert of the Southern Border, with the reputation of Southern Border Air Marquis.

"Did you give the Liu Family a heads-up, letting them cancel the deal?" Yang Xiao curiously asked.

Fu Qingzhu shook his head, a mysterious smile on his face, and stretched out his big hand to grasp, "Of course not, I spent a lot of gold to hire a batch of experts from the Chamber of Commerce, set an ambush near their transaction site, capture the thieves and recover the stolen goods, and caught them all during the trade."

"You have guts." Yang Xiao couldn’t help but say.

"What’s this, it’s them trading with Evil Cultivators, not me. Besides, I never intended to do anything to them," Fu Qingzhu signaled for Yang Xiao to remain calm.

"First, I got those Liu Family juniors to sign confessions and record their statements. Hey, these guys are useless, initially they were tough with me, but after I scared them a bit, they were all terrified, admitted everything."

"After getting the evidence, I didn’t report them but contacted the Southern Border Liu Family, asking them how they wanted to handle it."

"The Liu Family people are very sensible, sent someone over from afar to plead, meaning they wanted me to secretly release these disappointing juniors and not report it, as it concerns the face of their Southern Border Liu Family."

"They hoped to make a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into nothing, asking me to go easy," Fu Qingzhu said with a wave.

"How did you handle it then?" Yang Xiao curiously asked. Judging by Fu Qingzhu’s expression, this kid must have gained quite a bit in return.

"Hehe, naturally I wasn’t polite. The Southern Border Liu Family is famous as a Space System Apostle family, their mastery and use of Space Magic Artifacts are top-notch, so I let them take a look at my artifact."

"They sent a very distinguished elder of the family, who helped me fully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of my Bone Fan, and gave me several books, imparting a wealth of experience. Those days, I truly benefited a lot." Clearly, Fu Qingzhu was very satisfied with his gains.

"I learned how to suppress the backlash from the artifact and control its abilities. Oh yes, they also gave me quite a few Elixirs." Fu Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Then you secretly released the people." Yang Xiao understood.
