Jiao Han laughed heartily: "I knew you were itchy!" There were sounds of things being picked up, and stools falling down. Amid the flickering candlelight, there were sounds of people climbing up the stairs...
Chapter 93: Being a Ghost is also Romantic
Shi Hao lay under the bed, holding his breath.
Beside the bed, there was the sound of a body bumping into a table and chair, then something was placed on the table, and the table began to shake.
The sound of clothes rubbing against each other accelerated further, accompanied by the woman's panting.
Shi Hao held his breath and kept calm, trying his best to maintain the Sacred Heart and Clear Mirror method, not allowing himself to be affected by these voices in the slightest.
Relying on that mysterious profound energy and the effect of the Sacred Heart Mirror Method, he was able to grasp the movements of the two people clearly.
At the same time, his mind was as clear as a mirror, spotless.
At this moment, he was too close to Jiao Han, and any mental fluctuations could cause his breath to be discovered by Jiao Han.
The two people's clothes were quickly peeled off at the table, and then there were some affectionate and subtle movements.
The woman was indeed worthy of being the "female ghost" carefully trained by the Guiji Sect. In the previous section, she had served Jiao Han so well that he couldn't stop.
So much so that Shi Hao, who was relying on mysterious profound energy and the Sacred Heart Mirror Method to "observe" them, almost lost his faith.
Shi Hao closed his eyes, with the knife at his chest, and tried his best to keep his mind clear.
With a bang, the bed shook. Jiao Han was so angry that he picked her up and threw her on the bed.
Then there was an even greater force, causing the bed to sink.
The bed began to rock back and forth, and the two people on the bed rolled over, then began to move up and down.
It was dark outside, and the lanterns hanging on both sides of the door cast a faint light on the window panes.
The candlelight at the entrance of the corridor flickered.
Shi Hao began to control Jiao Han's rhythm with all his strength, and every time he exerted force, he would inject his energy into the knife bit by bit.
He wanted to take this opportunity to kill the leader of the Leopard Sect.
With a seventh-grade foundation, he assassinated a fifth-grade master. How audacious it is.
But as Jiao Han himself reminded him... I don't believe you can get away with this.
The two people on the bed changed their positions, with the witch kneeling down and the sect leader following behind.
With every shake of the bed, Shi Hao slowly adjusted the blade to the best position.
He only has one chance to attack. With Jiao Han's strength, if he misses the first strike, he won't have a second chance.
Even if he cannot find the best opportunity to make this move, he will still fail.
After a while, the two of them changed to the position where the woman was at the bottom and the man was at the top. The evil woman hooked her legs around her master, hugged his neck, and made sharp screams.
The bed rocked faster and faster, and her screams became louder and louder.
Finally, as the levee broke, her head fell back and her body half lifted.
Swoosh! The tip of the knife burst out from her body.
Jiao Han let out a roar, which was filled with rage.
He was such a master that he knew something was wrong when the murderous aura suddenly exploded.
But this moment was the most critical one, he couldn't help but make the final sprint. The beauty under him hugged him tightly and hooked him.
The knife was extremely swift, breaking through the bed and piercing the woman without any hindrance and into his chest.
This dying roar seemed to be full of doubts towards life, full of anger towards life, and at the same time, it was filled with the excitement of climbing to a peak.
In the distance, several servants were waiting, not daring to approach. They first heard the woman's continuous voice, and then heard the roar of their leader.
They looked at each other and let out low, ambiguous laughter.
"You really are worthy of being the sect leader!" someone said with a smile.
Shi Hao slipped, grabbed the knife, and slid out from under the bed.
Looking at the two people, the woman's eyes were wide open, with a twisted, joyful expression on her face, but her hands were limp and she died tragically on the spot.
Jiao Han was not dead yet. He turned his head, looked at Shi Hao and stretched out his hand: "You, you..." Blood was flowing from his chest.
Shi Hao's knife was extremely accurate and pierced directly into his heart. At this moment, he was just relying on his internal strength to suppress the wound.
Shi Hao laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'I'? You said it yourself, 'To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost!'" With a slash of the vicious knife, he chopped off his head.
Without the suppression, the sword energy exploded in Jiao Han's body, and his body deformed along with the curled lungs inside.
Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief and found that his back was also covered in cold sweat.
He felt the thrill of being a killer. He hid carefully, waited for the right moment, and then struck with one blow and disappeared.
This knife strike was so thrilling. Given the difference in strength between him and his opponent, it could be said that if he failed, he would die.
However, in this process, he actually calculated everything to the extreme, grasped the time and rhythm to perfection, and even throughout the entire process, he perfectly grasped the opportunity for success. It can be said that he was sure of victory from the very beginning.
It's like watching a horror movie, releasing the fear, and feeling satisfied after the whole plot is over.
It was an inexplicable and unforgettable experience.
Ignoring the two bodies on the bed, Shi Hao searched the floor beside the table and found a silver note worth one hundred taels and about twenty taels of silver in change.
I searched downstairs again, but didn't find much useful information.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound coming from outside.
Shi Hao knew that Yueyaer had arrived with her troops.
There was no time to stay, so he took advantage of the chaos to sneak outside.
It was already bright outside, and the entire Daxing City was bustling with people.
The once bustling and prosperous Red-light District became quiet at night. All the brothels were closed and the girls inside were resting.
"Zui Chun Feng" was also quiet. The colorful lights hung at night had been taken down and the entire magnificent building was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was alive.
Deep inside the Leopard Palace, "Three Deadly Ghost Slayers" Li Ximing and "Yin Yang Ghost" Gui Xiaoren stood by the bed, looking at the two corpses on the bed, both with gloomy faces.
Jiao Han's head was chopped off by a knife and rolled on the head of the bed, his eyes glaring, and he died with his eyes open.
The woman under the headless corpse had a twisted body, and her final moments of pleasure could still be seen.
Li Ximing and Gui Xiaoren both rushed over after receiving secret reports outside the city.
Among them, Gui Xiao was a thin man with disheveled hair, wearing a gray fur coat, and had a strange appearance.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiao Han, this idiot, didn't even know there was someone hiding under his bed?"
Li Ximing slowly let out a sigh of relief and said, "It can only be said that this killer hid himself too well, and he must have some skills to suppress his body temperature and conceal his aura. Otherwise, even if Jiao Han was careless, he would not have been unaware of it at such a close distance."
You know, this is not one on the beam and the other under the beam. This is basically separated by a bed board. Jiao Han is a fifth-grade master and the master of a sect. It is incredible that he did not notice the enemy at such a short distance.
What kind of martial arts could be so concealed that there is no trace of aura, and yet be able to grasp the moment of attack so accurately
Gui Xiaoren frowned: "Who did this?"
Li Ximing said in a deep voice: "From the looks of it, it's probably the Yingye sword that was stolen from the Yuandan Huo family. And last night, the 'mad swordsman' Hao Xinghua who stole the Yingye sword did sneak into the Leopard Palace. Although Jiao Han believed that he dealt a fatal blow to Hao Xinghua, he also ordered his men to hunt him down."
"But now it seems that Hao Xinghua was not injured at all. Instead, he concealed the truth and misled Jiao Han, and then hid here first, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
Gui Xiaoren was moved: "How could this man have such courage and determination? Didn't he say that he only has the foundation of the seventh rank?"
Li Ximing said: "Although he is a seventh-rank warrior, from various signs, this person's origin is extremely strange. He is not from the Three Evil Lotus Sects, but he seems to be proficient in the martial arts of the Three Evil Lotus Sects. He also has a record of beheading two masters of the same level in a row, and thus earned the title of 'Crazy Blade Evil Hero'."
"He was involved in the matter of the Sealed God Stone and was related to the Emerald Beauty, but no one knows his true origins. Our Demon Sect has always been known for its secrecy and weirdness, but he is even weirder than any other sect in our Demon Sect."
At this point, Li Ximing showed a hint of regret: "Because he was related to Ye Baihe and the Jade Beauty, we just tried our best to catch him. In the end, he killed Jiao Han before we even caught sight of him. Alas, if I had known this, maybe I shouldn't have provoked him from the beginning."
As a fifth-rank expert of the Demon Sect, he actually began to regret that he should not have provoked a seventh-rank person.
If this were to reach other people's ears, they would probably laugh their heads off.
However, he himself did not seem to be smiling at all, and he really could not smile.
Gui Xiaoren also had a headache: "What should we do? In addition to Jiao Han, we have also arranged some important personnel in Baomen, but in order to ensure secrecy, most people in Baomen only know the leader and don't know about Guiji Sect. There are also various people who trade with Baomen, and the wealthy families that Jiao Han secretly wins over. These are all things that cannot be done without him."
Li Ximing shook his head and said, "This is not the most important thing. What's more important is that Jiao Han's death cannot be concealed at all. Soon, other gangs will take advantage of this opportunity, just like wolves pouncing on a dying leopard, and frantically snatch Leopard Sect's territory and business. Some want to tear meat from Leopard Sect to strengthen themselves, and some want to take this opportunity to replace Leopard Sect.
"After all, our Guiji Sect cannot act in the open. If we directly occupy Baomen, we will surely be suppressed by Chongxian Sect. At present, Chongxian Sect has at least one 'Long Zi Xianwu' Lu Jin in charge of the subjective position of Daxing City. The matter of Longshou Mountain is of great importance. The future fortune of Guiji Sect depends on this move."
"Grandma Ba is our biggest enemy in this battle and our primary target. Under such circumstances, we cannot afford to provoke any of the Eight Martial Immortals of Chongxian Sect."
Gui Xiaoren sighed, "But if we lose the Leopard Gate, our two feet in Daxing City will be cut off. From now on, many things will be inconvenient to do. What should we do?"
Li Ximing gritted his teeth and said, "At this point, instead of wasting time defending Leopard Gate from the wolves, or even exposing our sect's existence in Daxing City, it is better to completely abandon Leopard Gate. Withdraw all the few people in Leopard Gate, and destroy all evidence of involvement with our sect. Although it hurts to cut off the tail, it is worse than delaying important matters by defending this already broken tail."
Gui Xiaoren said: "But without the Leopard Gate, we can't move an inch in Daxing City."
Li Ximing said calmly: "No! There is another person, maybe we can trade with him."
Gui Xiaoren said, "But what about Hao Xinghua? Will he avenge this vengeance or not? And what about the jade beauty in his and Ye Baihe's hands?"
Li Ximing shook his head: "Jiao Han is stupid, so he can die. Although the Emerald Beauty is important, Hao Xinghua is only a seventh-rank, but he is too weird. Our current focus should be on facing the ancestral altar first, and we must not provoke him again."
"There's no need to involve him in Jiao Han's death. We should try to announce to the public that Jiao Han died suddenly because of a mistake in his internal energy training. Whether others believe it or not is none of our business."
Gui Xiaoren sighed, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. We won't seek revenge, but he will kill Jiao Han and have a deep hatred with our Gui Ji Sect. I'm afraid he will still come after us. Oh, forget it! Let's just do as you say first!"
Chapter 94 The Lady's Bodyguard
"Are you sure that Jiao Han, the leader of the Leopard Sect, is dead?" Yueyaer stood on the steps with her hands on her hips.
Zhao Wencheng and Li Jingya looked at each other at the bottom of the stairs and were both shocked.
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Not bad!"
Yueyaer tilted her face and looked at him in confusion: "Did you kill him?"
Shi Hao shook his head: "No! At that time, there was a killer hiding in the Leopard Palace. He carried a vicious knife and had a cruel face. Jiao Han was killed by him."
Xu Xiaoyan glanced at him from the side... That's you.
Zhao Wencheng was moved: "Once Jiao Han dies, it will inevitably lead to further gang fighting in Daxing City. Basically, it can be said that the Leopard Sect is finished."
Yueyaer asked in confusion, "Is it that exaggerated? If a sect leader dies, the entire sect is doomed?"
Zhao Wencheng shook his head and said, "Gangs in the underworld are not as powerful as those famous families with deep roots. The Leopard Clan has only been rising in Daxing City for a few years, and it has expanded rapidly, but its foundation is not stable, and it occupies a place of entertainment that everyone is jealous of.
"Among the big gangs in Daxing City, the Tiandi Gang has a history of more than a hundred years, and has experienced many ups and downs, but still occupies a stable position in Daxing City. The other gangs, even the Shark Dragon Gang, which is now known as the largest gang in Daxing City, has only a history of more than ten years.
"It's said there are three gangs and six sects, but in fact, two of the six sects have been replaced this year alone. The current situation is very special. In this big change, some want to rise, and some want to be stronger. The death of the leader of the Leopard Sect will inevitably lead to power disputes within the sect. Moreover, the death of a fifth-rank master is a heavy blow to the Leopard Sect.
"It's like sharks in the sea. If one starts bleeding, the others will attack it, and everyone wants to bite a piece of meat off it."
Yueyaer said: "But isn't the Ghost Sect behind the Leopard Sect? There should be more masters in the Ghost Sect, they will not just ignore it..."
Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin, "The Guiji Sect doesn't dare to come forward. The Demon Sect has always only developed its power in secret, not to mention that there is also the Chongxian Sect in Daxing City. Taoism and demons cannot coexist, and the Chongxian Sect is known as the orthodox Taoist sect in the world, so it must shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Demon Sect."
"It's fine if Guiji Sect hides in the dark to control Baomen, but if they put it in the front, it will definitely cause trouble for Chongxian Sect. I guess that for such an important place as Daxing City, one of the eight martial immortals of Chongxian Sect must be here to take charge."
Yueyaer said casually: "Ah, I know this. The one in charge of Daxing City seems to be 'Dragon Purple Immortal Warrior' Lu Jin."
"Dragon Purple Immortal Martial" Lu Jin? Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan glanced at each other quietly.
Yueyaer looked sharp: "You two exchanged glances quietly, what are you doing?"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "When we sneaked into the Leopard Palace last night, we heard a clue that we don't know if it will be useful. 'Three Deadly Ghost Slayers' Li Ximing and Leopard Sect Master Jiao Han mentioned something..."
Yueyaer said, "'Three Deadly Ghost Slayer' Li Ximing? Hmm, I've heard of this name. Last time on the night of the full moon, a rebel group seized the God-conferring Stones. Afterwards, we learned that at least two of the three God-conferring Stones were taken away by this Li Ximing."
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan subconsciously looked at each other again, both a little surprised.
Yueyaer asked in confusion, "Why are you guys secretly exchanging glances again?"
Shi Hao quickly said, "At that time, Li Ximing and Jiao Han mentioned Longshou Mountain and the night of the full moon. It seems that this matter is very important to them. Although I don't know what the Guiji Sect is planning, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
Yueyaer snorted, "I always feel like you're changing the subject."
Then he became thoughtful: "Longshou Mountain? Full moon night? Strange!"
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan really wanted to look at each other again, but this time, they successfully held back.
But this time, Yueyaer really didn't seem to want to pay attention to them. She crossed her arms and murmured, "I must tell grandma about this!"
Then he looked at the others: "What about you?"
