1602 The Coffin of Disaster


    Fang Heng returned to the topic and asked, “City Lord Hornlow, I mean, what if I break the great holy sword at the source of the shady line?”


    Hornlow nced at Fang Heng. He wondered why he was asking this.


    “ording to your description, I believe that the great holy sword left behind by the Holy Court has partially sealed the source of the shady line. Once the source of the shady linepletely dissipates, the entire Frost Fortress might be exposed to the impact of the shady line’s aura. Based on the strength of the shady line, the surrounding area will be directly frozen. After that, not only will the entire Frost Hell be under great threat, but even the periphery of our Frost Fortress will also be under great threat.”


    Fang Heng fell into deep thought.


    “Hahahaha, don’t worry. When that dayes, there will be a seal inside the Frost Fortress. It’s built to prevent the shady line and ice crystals from spreading. It’s just that it hasn’t been used yet.”


    “Onest thing, City Lord. Is there any way to ensure that you won’t be affected by the invasion of the shady line aura?”


    Hornlow realized what Fang Heng was nning.


    “It’s very difficult, but it’s notpletely impossible. For example, the Coffin of Disaster. It was originally built by our ancestors for us to take refuge during an emergency. If we encounter a sudden crisis, we can hide inside the Coffin of Disaster. The shady line that erupts from the outside world won’t affect the inside of the coffin.”


    “Of course, after you hide in the Coffin of Disaster, you will also lose your ability to move. You can only wait for help from the outside world. Moreover, the defensive ability of the Coffin of Disaster is not strong. It was only built to resist the aura of the shady line. If you encounter an enemy, hiding in the Coffin of Disaster is tantamount to courting death.”


    Fang Heng asked, “How can I get the Coffin of Disaster?”


    “I have two in my hands. I can give it to you, but it’s not unconditional. So, Fang Heng, are you willing to use the favor I owe you just now?”


    “Yes, thank you. I need to get the Coffin of Disaster as soon as possible.”


    Hornlow raised an eyebrow, surprised by Fang Heng’s decisiveness.


    “Okay, I need some time. You cane here tonight to get it from the steward. He will arrange it for you.”


    “Thank you again.”


    Fang Heng and Mni got up and left the study.


    On this trip, Fang Heng obtained an important piece of information.


    The source of the shady line was indeed a dangerous ce.


    So…


    Fang Heng pondered.


    He could make some temporary adjustments to his n.


    Mni saw Fang Heng lowering his head in deep thought and hesitated several times.


    She remained silent until they left Frost Fortress. She couldn’t help but say, “Fang Heng, it’s a loss to exchange a favor for two coffins.”


    “Huh?”


    Fang Heng was deep in thought and didn’t hear her clearly. He raised his head and asked, “What?”


    “No, forget it. It’s nothing.”


    Fang Heng didn’t take it to heart and looked at Mni, asking, “You know what? Besides the coffin that the City Lord had mentioned, what else could resist the freezing of the shady line aura?”


    Resist the shady line aura?


    Mni looked at Fang Heng and frowned.


    “No, there isn’t such a thing.”


    Mni had no idea.


    Moreover, she felt that Fang Heng’s thoughts were too jumpy.


    Why did he need to resist the shady line aura?


    Could it be…


    Wait a minute!


    Could it be that he wanted to break the holy sword? Completely liberating the rift?


    Mni felt that she could vaguely guess what Fang Heng was going to do.


    She could not help but stare at Fang Heng.


    Was this person crazy?


    And what did this have to do with the n to kill Viona?


    Fang Heng said, “There’s still some time. Help me think of another way. This is very important for us toplete our mission.”


    “Alright, as far as I know, there’s no item that canpletely resist the shady line aura. I’ll find ask a few more trustworthy people for information.”


    Fang Heng nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll go back to the Tower of Bones to look for Teacher Gu Luo. We’ll split up.”


    The two of them set a time for their next meeting and quickly split up.


    Before the n was carried out, Fang Heng was prepared to go back and meet Teacher Gu Luo.


    The true requirement of the mission was to seal the soul of the Holy Court’s expert and hand it over to Teacher Gu Luo.


    Ordinary soul seals were easy to deal with, but Viona’s soul?


    It wasn’t that easy.


    Ordinary containers could not hold the powerful soul of the Saintess!


    For safety reasons, he decided to seek out Teacher Gu Luo’s help in advance.


    …


    Outside Frost Fortress, in an alley at the edge of the street, a group of people were lying in ambush.


    Seeing a hooded man and woman leave the Frost Fortress, the people guarding the ce had a strange look in their eyes.


    “He’s out.”


    “That’s right! It’s him! Fang Heng!”


    Even though Fang Heng was wearing a hood, his figure and some subtle movements were recognizable.


    The team leader, Hook, confirmed that the target was Fang Heng and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to hide in the corner of the street, afraid that too much probing would attract Fang Heng’s attention.


    Hook leaned against the wall, his heart filled with bewilderment.


    He had a type of talent since he was young. He could judge whether a person was in disguise from the details of his movement, pace, tone, expression, and even the weight of his words.


    Ever since Fang Heng was locked up in Frost Fortress, he had epted the mission of the Culodi Trading Company to keep an eye on him.


    Hook had originally felt that Elder Yatsek was being a little too careful.


    Unexpectedly…


    Such an almost impossible event actually happened!


    How did Fang Heng do it?


    In the past, no one had ever been able to leave Frost Hell during the lockdown period!


    “Go back immediately and report to the lord!”


    “Yes, sir!”


    Another subordinate hesitated and asked, “Captain, should we follow?”


    “Follow my ass! If you don’t want to die!”


    “Understood!”


    Hook cursed his subordinates for their stupidity.


    To be able to single-handedly take down an entire team from their Chamber of Commerce and evene out of the Frost Hell in one piece…


    How could Fang Heng be someone easy to deal with?


    Hook poked his head out from behind the corner and watched Fang Heng’s receding figure. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.


    Fortunately, he wasn’t discovered and managed to survive.


    “Captain! Something happened!”


    Not far away, a subordinate hurried over. His expression changed drastically, and he looked flustered.


    Hook’s heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly hung in the air again. He shouted in a low voice, “What is it? Calm down!”


    Hook felt that his subordinates were really a bunch of trash.


    Fang Heng already left. What was there to be surprised about?


    The subordinate steadied his breathing and said, “Captain, when I was waiting for the quartermaster, I realized that the rmendation letter from Lady Garona that could be exchanged suddenly disappeared.”


    “What?!”


    Hook was also shocked and he quicked asked, “Are you sure? Did you see it clearly? Who exchanged it?”


    His subordinate’s forehead was also covered in sweat. He shook his head and said, “I swear, I’ve been waiting there. A few minutes ago, I was sure that the item was on the exchange list. When I checked again, it suddenly disappeared. I saw it for real. No one has entered the Quartermaster Hall during this period!”
