Xu Xiaoyan bit her lip, tilted her face, and looked at him... Do you really want me to go to a place like this with you
Shi Hao whispered, "If we don't overthrow the Leopard Sect, we won't be able to stay in Daxing City."
Xu Xiaoyan sighed quietly. The premise of his words was that she had to stay with him in Daxing City.
But it was she who originally brought him to Daxing City.
In desperation, she took out the magic weapon "Night Tour Order" and shook it gently.
Holding hands, the two of them disappeared into the night, floating gently up.
They floated into the flower building filled with the intoxicating spring breeze, surrounded by the singing of birds and dancing of swallows, and the scene was bustling.
The singing of women, the laughter of men, and the clinking of glasses were heard constantly.
Xu Xiaoyan even felt that she seemed to hear some voices that a serious, unmarried girl should not hear at all.
Although the "Night Travel Order" is a magic weapon and can only be used at night, the whole person can float high in the sky and "travel" at night, which is another one of its major advantages.
They passed through the pavilions, floated across the courtyards, and went straight into the back garden. It was much quieter here, with only a sedan chair coming and going.
There are trees and arrow towers around it, and mountain walls on both sides... This passage is actually the entrance to this crater.
If anyone tries to trespass, countless sharp arrows and hidden weapons will immediately attack them, so dense that there is no place for people to hide.
After passing through this area, I felt the view suddenly opened up.
—Exquisite buildings are built around the cliffs inside the crater, and strings of lanterns hang from the sky, like a galaxy connecting the world.
They were overwhelmed by the sight.
Beautiful women and girls dressed up in gorgeous clothes come and go. Different areas have different sounds, which interweave with each other to form a beautiful paradise on earth that belongs only to men.
"Where should we go?" Shi Hao was dazzled.
Around him were beautiful women of all shapes and sizes, dressed scantily.
Looking at Xu Xiaoyan again, she was now ugly with uneven features due to the evil shadow disguise technique. However, she stood out among all the flowers.
It feels like there are thousands of flowers in bloom, but she is the only weird tree.
Xu Xiaoyan was quite experienced in this regard, and whispered, "Look for the place with the darkest lights, the least attention, but the most stringent protection. The real owner of this Leopard Palace must be in that place."
She took Shi Hao's hand and floated up.
Relying on the magical powers brought by the magic weapons, they floated to a high place, looked down from above, and scanned the surroundings.
Under normal circumstances, if they sneaked in, they could only hide in the dark, like a blind man groping in the dark, exploring room by room, and there was no telling when they would find the target.
With the "Night Tour Order", they were able to overlook the whole situation from a high place. Xu Xiaoyan, who was proficient in Feng Shui, combined the brightness of the lights and the comings and goings of people to quickly find the place they wanted to go.
"There!" Xu Xiaoyan pointed and took him over there.
The two of them were floating hand in hand, with beautiful buildings under their feet that looked like palaces.
They passed through a curtain of lanterns lined up in rows and came to a relatively secluded corner. Compared with most areas in the Leopard Palace, this place was much darker and had fewer lights. However, there were many good people lurking in high places, monitoring the surroundings...
Chapter 89 Is this ok
The two of them passed through the cordon of these experts without being noticed, only to find that there was another open space ahead.
This is an area formed by the inward concave area of the cliff, but it is blocked by the high plank roads, buildings, and lanterns outside.
If Xu Xiaoyan wasn't a habitual thief, no one else would have noticed that there was such a hidden area.
After crossing the cordon, there were suddenly fewer people around.
You also don't see those women wearing revealing clothes and looking charming and seductive.
However, one can see buildings such as alchemy rooms, study rooms, and martial arts training grounds that should not exist in such a place of entertainment.
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan both knew they had found the right place.
Shi Hao whispered, "It would be best if we could find the main account book of Leopard Sect, and then have Yueyaer unravel the mystery and uproot Leopard Sect."
Xu Xiaoyan said: "This one is a little hard to find!"
Seeing that the magical power was about to expire, they did not dare to delay and floated around.
When I entered a house, I suddenly found that there were quite a few people inside.
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan were shocked. They had no idea there were so many people inside.
But after looking closely, I found that these were just lifelike wooden statues.
Men and women, in pairs in this room, posed in strange postures, which made their mouths dry and their faces red.
Especially Xu Xiaoyan, who suddenly stepped on Shi Hao... I've already said that I don't want to come to this kind of place.
Shi Hao also felt embarrassed and was about to pull her out, but suddenly he felt something and hugged her, then floated further into the room and pressed her against the wall.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at him with wide eyes... I didn't expect you to be such a person.
Shi Hao whispered in her ear, "Someone is coming!" He also knew that the validity period of the Night Walk Order was almost up. If he left now, he would most likely be caught by someone outside.
After letting Xu Xiaoyan go, the two of them slipped to the window and looked out, only to see two people walking towards them side by side.
One of them had fluffy hair and was about fifty years old. He was tall and had broad shoulders. He was Li Ximing, the "Three Ghost Slayers" of the Guiji Sect.
In the battle for the stone in Minwu Ridge, the "Three Ghost Slayers" Li Ximing rode Yingzhao to chase the carriage carrying the Sealed God Stones. At the critical moment, Shi Hao was quick-witted and threw one of the Sealed God Stones off the carriage and gave it to the people of the Dark Thunder Society to take away.
He led Li Ximing away, and when he was about to be caught up, he abandoned his car and drove away.
With Li Ximing was a relatively short man with a round face, but a thick waist and a strong body. One could tell at a glance that he was a master who had mastered external skills to the highest level.
The hall was rather dark, with four pearls with night-scented grass embedded inside placed on the wall.
There were two strings of lanterns hanging outside, and torches stuck under the trees further away.
"Brother Li!" said the short and strong man, "Although we have followed your instructions and led the girl from Yue Ketai's family to Jinlongmen, she will sooner or later find clues and trace them to our Baomen. In this extraordinary period, if we are suppressed by the Barbarian Court and the Ancestral Altar, it will be very troublesome."
Li Ximing stood with his hands behind his back and snorted, "It's not that we don't want to solve this problem. Today we sent 'Xue An' to kill her, but she escaped."
The short and strong man was moved: "With Xue An's ability, how could he fail in the assassination? What happened?"
Li Ximing said: "There is a new face in the martial arts world, his Taoist name is Chongyunzi, who accidentally saved Yueyaer."
The short and strong man said, "Zhong Yunzi? Someone in the gang reported yesterday that there was a power dispute in Fuyun Temple. A young Taoist named Zhong Yunzi killed Kou Deqiu with one sword during a fair duel. Could it be that Zhong Yunzi? How is this person involved with the Yue Ketai family?"
Li Ximing said: "It seems to be just an accident. We reviewed the incident afterwards and found that Chong Yunzi was hired as a bodyguard by Zhao Wencheng, the accountant of Jinlongmen. Yueyaer attacked Jinlongmen and arrested Zhao Wencheng because of your misleading information."
"In order to rescue Zhao Wencheng, Chong Yunzi chased all the way to the Qionghua Palace where Yueyaer was. I don't know if there was some strange deal in secret or some unspeakable accident, but Yueyaer actually brought him to her boudoir in the Qionghua Palace."
"According to Xue An's report, although this person only has a seventh-grade foundation, he is extremely sharp. He was able to intercept Xue An's first sword in time. In the past, if Xue An failed to strike, he would have fled immediately. However, he recognized that this young man's swordsmanship was wonderful and his reaction was amazing. If he was not killed early, he might become a formidable enemy in the future. Therefore, he gave him another full-strength chase and killed him with one sword."
"According to Xue An, he used all his Dark Soul magic and the magical power of 'Earth Ghost Star'. With the combination of the two, the five senses of the young man and Yueyaer should have been completely blocked, and even their spiritual consciousness could not be released. He once used this to kill 'Boxing Hero' Nie Wenhao. Even with Nie Wenhao's fifth-grade strength, he was still able to kill him successfully."
"Unexpectedly, Chong Yunzi managed to intercept his Bloody Sword. Until now, he still doesn't know how that guy did it."
The short and strong man gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want me to send out all the elite members of the Leopard Sect to deal with him?"
Li Ximing shook his head. "Forget it. Chongyunzi is proficient in the Star-Picking Sword Technique and has even mastered the 'Star-Chasing Sword Technique' that no one in Floating Cloud Temple has mastered for a long time. His origin is mysterious. I'm afraid he is a young hero carefully trained by the unorthodox sects of Taoism. I don't know if he has another background. We don't need to provoke such a person for the time being, so as not to involve unexpected enemies."
At this moment, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan had guessed that this short and strong man must be Jiao Han, the leader of the Leopard Sect.
Jiao Han is the leader of the Leopard Sect, one of the three gangs and six sects in Daxing City. He is also a fifth-rank master. However, at this moment, he appears humble beside Li Ximing and calls Li Ximing "senior brother".
The two people outside are both fifth-grade masters, and any one of them can kill them easily. Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan dare not be careless in the slightest.
At this moment, the power of the Night Walk Order had been lifted, and they held their breath, fearing that they would be discovered by the two people outside.
Jiao Han said with a headache: "So, we led Yueyaer to investigate Jinlongmen, Yueyaer captured the accountant of Jinlongmen, and Chongyunzi was the bodyguard of the accountant of Jinlongmen. We chased him all the way. I don't know how handsome he is, but Yueyaer took a fancy to him and brought him to her boudoir. What shameless thing did he do, and he accidentally saved her because of this?"
"We led her to investigate Jinlongmen, and after a while, we helped her avoid death. Damn it, even novels wouldn't dare to write this."
Li Ximing said: "Yueyaer doesn't know much about the Demon Sect, and she probably has no way to find Xue An, let alone our Guiji Sect. But if she continues to track down like this, once Jinlong Sect is cleared of suspicion, the next one will probably be Bao Sect. At this critical moment, it will be an extremely troublesome matter."
"And we originally wanted to kill her to disrupt the Ancestral Altar. The Ancestral Altar is the biggest threat to our next plan. Unfortunately, the assassination failed, and we probably won't have another chance."
Jiao Han whispered, "She has Yue Ketai and the ancestral altar behind her. If she really wants to suppress Baomen with all her strength, she won't have to do anything else. The government troops will find excuses to come and investigate every few days, and we won't be able to do any business. The reason why those customers like this place is because we are secretive enough."
"Many of the 'female ghosts' we have planted in the royal families have been plucked out by the ancestral altar. If our business here is ruined again, we will be completely unable to do business."
Li Ximing said: "For now, we still have to focus on the matter at Longshou Mountain. On the night of the full moon, if we succeed, the entire Daxing City will be under our control, and we don't have to worry about other things. That old lady is the enemy we need to guard against."
After a pause, he continued, "Have you found out the whereabouts of Hao Xinghua and Ye Baili?"
Shi Hao had just finished listening to them talking about himself, and he didn't expect that the next topic would be about himself again. He felt a little amused and confused.
Jiao Han said: "Someone just reported that they had discovered their whereabouts, but when our people rushed over to surround and kill them, they were nowhere to be found. These two people are quite cunning, and it may be difficult to find them in a short time."
Li Ximing said: "This 'Crazy Blade Hero' Hao Xinghua is also quite strange. From various signs, he is practicing the magic skills. We once thought he was from the Black Lotus Realm. Now it seems that he should not be from any of the three sects of the Black Lotus Realm, Moon Lotus Tower, and Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion. If that is the case, they have already obtained the Emerald Beauty."
Jiao Han said: "He should be a member of the Dark Thunder Society."
Li Ximing shook his head and said, "The Dark Thunder Society seems to be a secretive organization, but it is actually loose. There are people from all walks of life in it. Anyone who is against barbarism can join. From this point, we can't tell anything. He may not even be a member of the Dark Thunder Society, but was just invited by some people in the Dark Thunder Society to help."
"In short, the Emerald Beauty is very important. You need to understand that according to legend, it first appeared in Longshou Mountain. Send more people and find those two people no matter what."
Jiao Han said: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, they can't hide for too long!"
Li Ximing nodded and said, "I need to leave the city overnight. There seems to be some progress in the research on the Sealing God Stone over there. I'll go over and take a look. If Yueyaer has found out about the Leopard Sect, you should keep a low profile and try to confuse her. Don't make an enemy of her directly, so as not to bring more pressure on her."
Jiao Han said: "I understand this."
The two men separated, Jiao Han called two people over, gave them some instructions, and then walked deeper into the cave.
Shi Hao's mind moved slightly, and he suddenly whispered in Xu Xiaoyan's ear: "I will quietly follow Jiao Han to see if I can find more information. You hide here and wait for me."
Xu Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at him: "Are you crazy? Jiao Han is a fifth-rank, if you follow him, I'm afraid you will be discovered in no time..."
Shi Hao said: "I have my own way! If we are discovered, you can use the hollow bricks to support me here!" He pushed open the window pane, quietly slipped out, carrying Yingye's murderous knife on his back, and followed him.
Xu Xiaoyan had no way to deal with him, so she had to hide here alone. She turned around and looked at the pairs of wood carvings in the hall, her face flushed.
Suddenly, she looked at one of the pairs of statues and her eyes widened... Is this okay
Chapter 90: The world is vast, but strange things happen one after another
Shi Hao used the Soul-Chasing and Soul-Locking Steps, assisted by the mysterious profound energy, and quietly followed Jiao Han.
We passed through several buildings until we came to a pavilion. The pavilion had only two floors and there was no one else around.
There is a small martial arts field outside the pavilion, on which are placed stone lions, military racks, and so on.
No one knew what kind of paint the attic was painted with, but under the light of the lantern, it appeared dark black with a glossy sheen.
Shi Hao stood close to the stone lion and looked towards the pavilion. He collected his thoughts and waited for a long time before he saw Jiao Han push the door open and walk out.
Until Jiao Han went far away along the original path, he quietly approached the pavilion, came to the door, and listened attentively.
After making sure that there was no one in the pavilion, he pushed the door open and was about to slip in quickly, but then he paused.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He stood in front of the door, the mysterious energy emanating from it through the Sacred Heart Mirror Method, and suddenly he turned around and rushed forward.
But then he heard a sneer, and a figure floated down in front of him. He was short and strong, who else could it be but Jiao Han
"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you break in!" Jiao Han laughed with his hands behind his back.
Just now when he was beside Li Ximing, he seemed cautious and did not have much of the air of a gang leader.
At this moment, he was radiating domineering aura, his eyes flashing with brilliance, blocking Shi Hao's way of retreat, like an insurmountable cliff, stopping Shi Hao forcibly.
If it were a weaker opponent, Shi Hao could use the Soul-Chasing and Soul-Locking Steps to utilize the energy flowing in his body to move behind him.
However, facing this fifth-rank master, Shi Hao knew very well that if he did this, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.
Jiao Han looked at me with disdain and said mockingly, "Are you Hao Xinghua? You are quite capable and extremely daring. Unfortunately, when you followed me, you raised your breath to avoid making any noise. However, as long as you practiced your skills, your internal energy would inevitably be released when your feet touched the ground, which was enough for me to detect you.
"I heard that you killed two seventh-rank warriors in succession and earned the name of the Crazy Blade Hero. What a pity, what a pity!"
He sneered, "You underestimated the difference in foundation and strength between warriors. Although I have to admit that you have done a good job, if it weren't for the slight leakage of energy when your feet touched the ground after you raised your energy, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to find you."
Shi Hao took a deep breath and said without turning his head, "So, if you lead me here and I really enter this building, I can never come out again?"
Jiao Han smiled and said, "This building is a prison for imprisoning masters. There are at least seven traps inside. Even if you are a fourth or fifth rank master, you will be trapped inside. I originally just wanted to watch the little moth throw itself into the fire, but I didn't expect that you would be alerted in advance."
His eyes glared, gleaming with brilliance: "Hand over the Jade Beauty, and I will spare your life!"
Shi Hao shouted loudly, and his figure flashed to the side of Jiao Han half a meter away, and chopped him down with a knife.
The space seemed to twist, and Shi Hao passed through it in an instant.
