Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Chapter 333: An existence as famous as the "3 Sects" (Happy New Year, my friends!)

"Hmm? Concubine Xiao Shu? Which Concubine Xiao Shu?"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Hei Wu couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Crack!~Buzz!"

As soon as Hei Wu finished speaking, a sound was heard. It was the middle-aged man with the scimitar who circulated his mysterious energy. He jumped and ran away into the darkness.

Seeing this, Axin looked anxious. She took a step towards the middle-aged man with the scimitar, but then retracted her foot and continued to stare at the black fog nervously.

Ye Fan glanced at the direction where the middle-aged man disappeared at the bend, and spoke to the black fog, "It was Emperor Mingyuan's concubine, Xiao Hairou, who died in an accident while riding a cruise ship in Jiangzhou City more than 20 years ago!"

"Xiao Yuanshan's daughter... Interesting!"

Black Mist was obviously quite interested in this. "Tell me about it!"

"No, if I tell you directly, what if you act like a spoiled child after hearing it?"

Ye Fan looked like he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

Black Mist said nothing, but a light flashed in his hand, and a scroll quickly flew towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took it and looked at it, and found that it was a topographic map of Prince Yuanzheng's Palace and the information about the guards, patrol officers, and night watchmen.

"The map and the guards are real, but they are only on the surface, and there is no clear number or patrol routes of the guards, or the changing of guard times!"

When Ye Fan was looking at the map, Black Mist spoke again, "Tell me about Xiao Hairou's matter, and I will consider whether to give you a more detailed map!"

"Row!"

Ye Fan nodded, "As far as I know, the real cause of Concubine Xiao Shu's death is..."

After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Hei Wu looked thoughtful, "The cause of Concubine Xiao Shu's death was indeed not simple... But I didn't expect that even the director of the Imperial Hospital was involved... The reason that made the director of the Imperial Hospital refuse to tell even until his death... The Mingyuan Royal Family... Zizi, interesting..."

"and then?"

After a pause, Black Mist spoke to Ye Fan again.

"And then? There was no then, this is all I know!"

Ye Fan looked a little puzzled, "Is there any other information about Concubine Xiao Shu's death?"

"The death of Concubine Xiao Shu may not be as simple as you just said..."

Black Mist waved his hand, "As far as I know, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is also secretly investigating the death of Concubine Xiao Shu..."

"What the hell? Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, what is that?"

Ye Fan looked puzzled.

"This is separate information, and it will cost you something else!"

Black Mist obviously had no intention of offering a free explanation.

"Ye Fan, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace should be as famous as the 'Three Sects'!"

A Xin took over the conversation.

"Three sects?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "The 'three sects' among the One Emperor, Two Supremes, Three Sects, Four Marquises, Five Sects, Six Killers, Seven Groups and Twelve Evils?"

"Correct!"

Ah Xin nodded. "I'm not very clear about the details. People from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace rarely appear in the secular world. Legend has it that all the disciples are women. And unlike other sects, there seem to be very few people in Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, but they are all very powerful."

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately understood.

"You are such a good spoiler, woman!"

The black mist glanced at A Xin lightly, and the black mist in his hand surged, and a scroll was thrown to Ye Fan at a high speed. It was the detailed map of Prince Yuanzheng's Palace.

After Ye Fan looked at the map, he suddenly felt happy.

"By the way, Black Mist, when I first saw you in Jiangzhou City, you weren't this powerful, right?"

Immediately, Ye Fan asked the question in his mind.

“I had just escaped from trouble at that time!”

Black Mist replied briefly without further explanation.

"By the way, Black Mist, who was the person who offered a six-kill bounty on you in the capital to hunt me down?"

After a pause, Ye Fan spoke again.

"Boy, it's not reasonable for me to tell you my employer's information, but this is our first business, and the two pieces of information you just provided are quite valuable, confirming some of my guesses... I'll take a loss and tell you..."

"The person who offered a bounty to me, Shura and others for hunting you down in the capital was a eunuch named Xie Zhong, who is also one of the five eunuchs in charge of the Mingyuan royal family. It was also him who asked me to make sure that the blind woman would die. So the person who offered a bounty of six kills for hunting you down was most likely someone from the Mingyuan royal family. I don't know who it is exactly..."

"The other party's offer is extremely generous. There are a large number of Mysterious Energy Stones, as well as Marquis-level Mysterious Techniques and Cultivation Methods. Most importantly, there is news about the Ancient Secret Realm! Shura, Heart-Rending, and Death Bell must have agreed to this because of the news about the Ancient Secret Realm... But now, they must feel like I have been fooled..."

At the end, there was obvious dissatisfaction in Heimu's voice.

"Being fooled?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"The news about the ancient secret realm that Xie Zhong mentioned is coming to Qinhuai City... and King Yuanzheng announced a few days ago that the clues to the ancient secret realm will be made public in a few days. At that time, the heroes of the world will explore the ancient secret realm according to their own abilities..."

Black Mist spread his hands, "Although no one among the Six Killers completed the task assigned by the employer, judging from the news of the ancient secret realm coming out of Qinhuai City, the news of the ancient secret realm coming out of Qinhuai City was about the same time as we received the task of hunting you down, or even earlier. In other words, even if the Six Killers really killed you, the news of the ancient secret realm they got in the end would be useless!"

"Okay, kid, I won't chat with you anymore~ Bye!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Ye Fan and the others to respond, Black Mist's body became ethereal, and then turned into a puff of black smoke, floating towards the sky, and disappeared into the darkness in a few breaths...

"Brother, this black fog is so strange, so moody! At the beginning, it looked like it wanted to kill us, but then it suddenly changed its attitude and became quite easy to talk to!"

Liu Mengying looked at the direction where the black fog left and muttered.

"It's true... That guy is quite weird!"

Ye Fan nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Ye Fan turned and walked towards the ruins of a wall. He kicked it, and all the dirt and rocks in the ruins flew away. Amidst the flying dust, a shocked face immediately appeared in the sight of Ye Fan and Liu Mengying. It was the middle-aged man with the scimitar who had disappeared into the darkness before.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

The middle-aged man with the curved sword had a voice full of horror. He originally thought that he was safe and just needed to wait patiently for Ye Fan and his companions to leave. He was thinking about how to retaliate a thousandfold, but he didn't expect Ye Fan...

"The thing you just used was quite interesting. I almost got fooled by you!"

As he said that, Ye Fan kicked the middle-aged man with the scimitar again, causing him to scream and fly up, rolling and landing not far from A Xin.

"Brother, what happened to this guy... I just saw him run away?!"

Looking at the middle-aged man with a scimitar on the ground, Liu Mengying was confused.
