Chapter 18 One Kill
Cheng Ling's breathing tightened, and he felt like he was adrift on a lonely boat, isolated and helpless. He cried to the sky and the earth, but no one answered.

"Jiangling City's City Commander, long time no see."

The visitor raised his head and looked at the city commander on the second floor.

He had the characteristic pale skin of an aristocrat, and was cold and gloomy. He tilted his head and smiled, showing not a bit of friendliness or harmony, but full of cunning and insidiousness, as if everything was under his control and no one could escape.

It was true that the city magistrate had eye problems. He guessed for a long time but couldn't see who the other person was. "Who are you? You dare to commit a crime in the city magistrate's mansion. Do you want to die?"

He spoke harshly and sternly, showing great official authority.

The man hooked his finger at him and said in a pleasant tone: "Would you like to come down and die obediently, or would you like my men to go up and break your arms and legs first, and then kill you?"

The city commander's scalp went numb. Listening to his cruel and humiliating words, he was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking.

"Reply to him, it's not certain who will die."

A gentle and calm voice beside him reminded.

The city commander didn't even think about it and immediately retorted: "It's not certain who will die!"

What a hard mouth!

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

In the silence, cold gazes were fixed on the city commander from hidden corners everywhere. The flashes of swords and sabers and the cold light were a deadly threat.

"You are about to die, yet you still dare to speak to me, Xie Xuan, so arrogantly. I have to say that you are the first person to do so so far."

belch!
Wang Chengling twitched.

Who?
He said... who is he?

"Thank you, thank you, Xie Xuan?!"

Wang Chengling turned his head stiffly, looked into the eyes of the innocent-looking Xu Shanshan, and begged her to give a negative answer.

But Xu Shanshan said regretfully: "He is indeed Xie Xuan, the governor of Xiezhou."

The notorious yet formidable third brother of the Xie family.

Wang Chengling's face turned pale in an instant.

His lips trembled constantly.

He spoke too quickly, and now that he realized what he was saying, he was almost scared to death by his own bold words.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…

He still stared at Xu Shanshan, not daring to face Xie Xuan, but saw that her expression was as calm as a lake, without the slightest ripple.

His eyebrows and eyes were like green mountains, revealing a deep tranquility. At that moment, his frightened and pounding heart surprisingly calmed down a lot.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Master Xu, you can save me and Jiangling City, right?"

Master Liu once told him privately that it was most likely the Xie family that harmed his Liu family. According to Master Xu, the purpose was to destroy the fortune of Jiangling City, not personal grudges.

Considering that Xie Xuan sneaked into Jiangling City and besieged the city commander's mansion at this time, it was definitely not just for killing people. He must have other bigger intentions.

"Maybe." She was calm and composed, with a faint smile on her lips. "But the city commander, remember what I said, my rule is to take away something extremely precious from the person who seeks help."

what?
Heart, liver, spleen, lungs or kidneys?
It's already this time. As long as his life and Jiangling City can be saved, he will give you anything!

He said with a firm voice, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Xu Shanshan's eyes contained many mysteries. The pupils glowed golden from the dark frame. The sudden brightness changed the pupil color, like a mysterious amber crystal that solidified the bright light.

"You are in a very good luck, you can make a fortune, I will take away your fortune, you will live in poverty all your life, are you willing to use this fortune to exchange for the crisis you and Jiangling City are in right now?"

The city commander was stunned. When he looked at her, a kind of fear that he couldn't bear to look at her rose up in his heart.

He quickly lowered his eyes: "Does it mean that I will be poor all my life?"

"As long as you don't squander money, you can have enough food and clothing with a meager salary." How would a person feel when he knows that no matter how hard he tries in his life, he can only be a poor person who doesn't starve?
Others may be quite desperate, but Wang Chengling's ambition is to achieve political achievements and serve the country, and he does not have such a strong greed for external things.

“My poverty won’t affect my descendants, right?”

"You are the one who pays the price, so it is none of their business. But their money can never be shared with you. Even if they give you money, you will lose it in the end."

The city commander no longer had any worries.

"Okay, I am willing to exchange!"

At this time, Maomao flew out from Xu Shanshan's sleeve, inhaled the white air from Cheng Ling's head and shoulders into his body, then staggered back to her head and fell down with his hands on his stomach.

"Maomao is full again. The contract is signed and will be recorded in the account later."

Xie Xuan's gaze fell on Xu Shanshan and he pulled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, which seemed to be a mockery of her pretense.

"Xu Shanshan, the last disciple of the Divine Calculator, is actually a female charlatan who deceives the world and steals her reputation. She has committed dozens of frauds since she left the sect. The Liu family and the city commander were both the targets of your fraud. How come you suddenly turned over a new leaf?"

Seeing that he knew everything about his own affairs, I guess he must have investigated it privately.

Xu Shanshan looked at Xie Xuan and stared at his face for a long while. That strange and calm gaze made the undisguised evil and arrogance in Xie Xuan's smile freeze for a moment.

"Xie San, even though you've grown up now, you're still the same as when you were a kid."

Xie Xuan looked at her in a daze. After a while, his lips opened and closed slightly, "Huh?"
"Xie San, is that someone you can call me?"

The voice seemed to come from hell, and his teeth flashed a cold light in the darkness.

"Seven kills!"

Qi Sha suddenly appeared from the banyan tree behind him, whose skin was as white as cracked rock. He was extremely conspicuous in his yellow wizard's uniform, with a stern face and no emotion in his eyes.

"But you are just a low-level mystic master. No one in Jiangling City allows you to run rampant."

He stretched out his arms and a strange "airflow" covered the banyan tree. Then many "bugs" fell from the dense canopy. These "bugs" had countless limbs, were larger than spiders, and had strange and terrifying human faces.

Xu Shanshan took off the hair on his head and asked, "It seems that they are too lazy to talk and want to take action directly. I haven't recovered the strength to take action yet. How much of the 'luck' you collected from Liu Shiyou and Wang Chengling can you borrow?"

"Are you going to use that trick?"

"Correct."

Maomao calculated and said, "Two sentences at most."

"Only two sentences?" Xu Shanshan was not very satisfied.

"With Xu Shanshan's ordinary body, if he says more than three sentences, he will hurt himself. This will definitely delay your plan to change your life."

Xu Shanshan weighed the pros and cons before saying, "Okay."

As soon as she agreed, Maomao immediately spread its wings and flew up. Its red eyes were now dripping red, and a stream of air from its body flowed into Xu Shanshan. The aura around her began to change, as if it was filled with a repressive force.

People who don't have a certain level of Taoism cannot perceive all of this at all. They cannot see the mysterious essence of the magic, let alone the existence of Maomao.

Qi Sha controlled the "Ghost Face Puppets". They were extremely fast, and the "da da da" sound gave people goose bumps. They climbed densely from the ground to the pillars, all the way up.

"You are just an ordinary physiognomist who has just mastered the art of seeing 'qi'. I can tell at a glance that your profound arts are shallow. I only need one move to make you die without a burial place!"

"No place to bury the dead..." Xu Shanshan tilted his head and slowly raised his eyes. His red eyes were exactly the same as Maomao's, as if the gates of hell had opened: "Who is it? You?"

Qi Sha's head suddenly felt empty.

He felt a heavy feeling suddenly enveloping his whole body. He was filled with an indescribable tension. The temperature seemed to be dropping quietly, and every breeze carried some unknown chill.

There is an invisible "big hand" stirring the atmosphere of this space.

Before he could even utter a word, he was controlled by an invisible force. His limbs began to twist and break, and finally in extreme pain and fear, his entire body exploded with a bang.

　One sentence can kill a person, and no one will leave a trace after a thousand miles.
