He instructed Ling Yanyu to arrange for his subordinates to come and take away all these human skin products, leaving none behind, and to find a good Feng Shui place nearby to bury them.
When it comes to enemies, Yang Xiao never hesitates to use any means, but for ordinary and innocent people, he always retains a shred of compassion, which is the bottom line of being human.
Song Ziming is a scourge; leaving him alive is like burying a time bomb. If he and Sui are not around, no one can hold him down.
Tong Han and Ling Yanyu are close to him, and he can’t leave trouble for them.
Song Ziming must die, but not now. For now, he is still useful.
Song Ziming himself might not have realized that while he claimed he was being hunted by the Withered Bone Pavilion, Yang Xiao didn’t say anything, but it was just these few small items that would cost him his life.
After a night passed, the next day after breakfast, news from Tong Han arrived. She had already found someone to repair the gloves and pieced together the tattoo on them.
Tong Han noticed something strange about the tattoo’s design, so she brought in an expert in cryptography. After a thorough examination, they indeed discovered something.
"There’s a hidden map in this tattoo, and a few numbers," Tong Han said in a lowered voice.
"What kind of map is it, can it be located?" Yang Xiao knew there must be a secret in it.
"Not just yet. The map is incomplete. According to the expert’s analysis, there should be three pieces to this map, and three sets of numbers," Tong Han replied.
At this moment, Yang Xiao finally understood that the reason the Withered Bone Pavilion spent so much effort trying to kill Song Ziming was to retrieve this Human Skin Map, and also to silence him.
Yang Xiao could roughly guess that the location marked on the map was of great importance to the Withered Bone Pavilion, most likely the hiding place of a very rare magic artifact.
Based on the strength of the Withered Bone Pavilion, they couldn’t take the artifact for now, and fearing it might leak, they divided the map into three parts, tattooing each piece on the back of three different people.
To prevent leakage, they cruelly cut out these three people’s tongues.
They chose ordinary people to avoid suspicion from other sects’ Angel Envoys, but little did they know, one of them was accidentally abducted by a Tributor from the Joy Sect.
It’s likely that news was forced out of the other two’s mouths, leading the Withered Bone Pavilion to send experts on a long-distance cross-province chase to kill Song Ziming.
"Tong Han, that expert cannot leave. Have him stay here for now and assign someone to keep an eye on him."
Yang Xiao instructed, "Also, send capable people to scout outside the town and find the hiding places of those Withered Bone Pavilion guys."
Upon hearing this, Tong Han couldn’t help but frown, "You intend to take action against them?"
"Yes, I’m quite interested in this sect. Their head, the Master of Bone Pavilion, probably has something I want," Yang Xiao almost laid bare everything to Tong Han, treating her like a dear sister.
"I know that person; he is a long-renowned Netherworld Envoy, hard to deal with." Concerned about Yang Xiao, Tong Han showed extreme caution. Although she trusts Yang Xiao unconditionally, the difference in power was apparent, and she didn’t want to see Yang Xiao in danger.
Yang Xiao saw the worry in Tong Han’s expression and suddenly smiled lightly, "What are you thinking? I’m not stupid. Don’t forget, I’m with the Patrol Defense Office, and that Master of Bone Pavilion is the head of the Evil Cultivators. I just need to find his location and report it to the Provincial Office. If the Provincial Office can’t handle it, they’ll continue to escalate it. Eventually, someone will deal with him."
Yang Xiao didn’t offer casual comfort; that’s exactly how he thought. To deal with such a master, he only needed to honestly play the role of a guide.
Except for major Cults like the Black Buddha Mother Sect, which can rival the Patrol Defense Office, most cults are thieves. They aren’t handled mainly because their locations are difficult to find. Once their position is confirmed, gathering manpower could wipe out even ten of them.
On the attitude towards dealing with Evil Cultivators, the three major forces within the country are at least openly united.
Old Dean Sheng Yanlin once spoke candidly to Yang Xiao, saying there aren’t that many Evil Cultivators in the world, and many are wrongfully labelled.
The remaining ones also have intricate connections with various major forces in the country. Some dirty work that renowned sects prefer not to handle directly is passed on to them.
The so-called black societies are merely watchdogs kept by big personalities on the white path.
When mentioning Yang Xiao, Sheng Yanlin had high regard for him. He doesn’t eat poison, doesn’t break the law, bows to superiors and untouchable big figures, and is righteous enough to not bully people or enjoy benefits alone. Everyone shares in the good times. fгeewebnovёl.com
Strategic and calculating, highly intelligent and perceptive, as long as he has an enlightening benefactor, he picks up on things quickly. His nature is resilient, his means ruthless, decisive in killing, and rooting out problems thoroughly.
In the end, he’s not a big figure or a dignitary, but he definitely lives a long life and is a likable and smart person.
A daytime passed quickly. By evening, reports came back that the location of those people had almost been pinpointed, hiding in a small nearby town.
Coincidentally, this place was not unfamiliar to Yang Xiao. It’s called Qinghe Town.
Back then, the Golden Snake turning against us and collaborating with the former Pingxi Marquis set an ambush here, aiming to kill him. However, ultimately, it was Yang Xiao’s superior skills that turned the tables and killed those guys instead.
But since Tong Han strictly commanded her subordinates not to expose themselves, they dared not get too close and thus didn’t scout the specific hiding place.
However, this wasn’t an issue for Yang Xiao. With the Human Bone Staff and the Soul-Capturing Mirror in hand, as long as the general direction was confirmed, finding them wasn’t difficult.
