107: Cleverly Seizing (Part Two)
The woman hurriedly walked toward the third floor.
However, after reaching the third floor, she didn't turn left but headed toward the right instead.
As for the left corridor, dozens of experts from the Juxian Tower were already standing there.
Protecting the items in the rooms was also a matter of protecting the Juxian Tower's reputation.
If the items inside these rooms were stolen, the presiding Elders would be held responsible.
But what they never expected was that Chen Xian's target had been the rooms on the right from the very beginning.
The reason he looked for the rooms on the left and told Yang Yun he wanted the item from the innermost room on that side...
...was actually all to mislead them.
It was simply to lure the thief out.
As expected.
The thief couldn't sit still and returned to the room to check.
Chen Xian followed.
At that moment, He Ling had just pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of cold air hit her.
She quickly realized someone was following her and was about to close the door.
But then she heard Chen Xian's voice, like a devil's whisper.
"If you don't want your body to explode, don't make a sound!"
At this point, he didn't even tell her to stay still.
Because the woman's movements were already completely under his control.
The Bloodthirsty Great Array had absorbed countless blood mists from the Lake Bottom Secret Realm, giving Chen Xian a whole new level of control over it.
Within ten meters, he could use the Bloodthirsty Great Array to silently control anyone below his realm, as long as they didn't want their blood vessels to burst.
They would have no choice but to listen to him.
He Ling stood there, not because she didn't want to move, but because she couldn't.
She discovered that her body was actually refusing to obey her at this moment!
Especially since the man's words weren't a threat at all, but sounded more like a warning!
Chen Xian walked into the room unhurriedly.
He slowly closed the door.
"Who on earth are you?"
He Ling's voice trembled.
Silently controlling her body...
She had never heard of such a sinister method.
Chen Xian smiled and said, "I should be the one asking you that!"
"To think you'd dare steal from the Southern Continent Ye Family!"
"Quite bold, aren't you?"
If He Ling had only been wary of Chen Xian's inscrutable control methods before...
...she now showed a look of panic.
This man!
He actually knew she had stolen something!
Didn't that mean... "Don't worry, I'm not from the Ye Family!"
Chen Xian coughed, as if reading the woman's mind.
"However, hand over that blazing dragon bone!"
"Why should I? I worked hard to steal that!"
Chen Xian: "???"
No, it was the first time he'd seen someone so self-righteous about stealing.
"If you don't hand it over, there are two outcomes!"
"Either I hand you over to the Ye Family, or I'll just kill you myself!"
He Ling glared at Chen Xian through gritted teeth.
"If you're so capable, go steal it yourself! What kind of skill is stealing from me?"
"Hehe, this is called dog-eat-dog."
Realizing that He Ling was just an inexperienced young girl...
...Chen Xian let out a sinister "jie-jie-jie" laugh.
He walked toward He Ling.
"What are you doing?"
A look of terror appeared on He Ling's face.
"Nothing much. I just noticed you're quite pretty. It just so happens I haven't touched a woman in a long time. Instead of killing you, why don't you let me have some fun first!"
"Wait, wait!"
He Ling shouted, "I-I-I'll give it to you! I'll give you the blazing dragon bone."
She had only snuck out to play.
She thought the blazing dragon bone looked fun, so she "borrowed" it.
It wouldn't be worth losing her virtue over it.
After a short while.
Chen Xian left the Juxian Tower swaggering with the blazing dragon bone in hand.
However, he didn't return to his residence immediately.
The first step of the plan was a success.
So, the second step should also be successful.
As expected.
A dozen people soon walked out of the Juxian Tower's entrance.
Eight or nine of them headed in one direction.
The other two headed in a different direction.
Without a second thought, Chen Xian followed the smaller group away.
"Senior Brother Chen, can the two of us really leave the North Continent?"
A Junior Martial Brother following Xiao Chen asked worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? This Crimson Flame Qilin doesn't belong to the North Continent. We worked hard to kill it and get its Yao Beast core; it belongs to us."
"Besides, with seven or eight Senior Brothers from the Crimson Flame Sect providing cover and an Elder personally overseeing things, we'll surely turn danger into safety!"
At the thought of returning to the Sect and being praised by the Sect Master, or even promoted to be his closed-door Disciple...
Xiao Chen wished he could grow wings and fly back immediately.
As for those Senior and Junior Brothers covering for him...
If they died, they died.
Everyone has their own fate.
It cannot be forced.
However, just as they stepped out of Jubei City...
...the two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Because someone was standing right in front of them.
Xiao Chen originally intended to just lower his head and walk past.
But then a cold voice rang out.
"You two took something from our North Continent. Do you really think you can just walk away like that?"
Xiao Chen's expression changed.
But he still refused to admit it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. What did we take?"
"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, the Crimson Flame Qilin's core, hide, meat, and bones have almost all been butchered by you, haven't they?"
Chen Xian's words made Xiao Chen stop.
At this point, continuing to play dumb was useless.
But he still stubbornly insisted, "What does this have to do with you?"
"The Crimson Flame Qilin lived in the Beast Forest, so it naturally belongs to everyone. It's obtained based on one's own ability!"
"We hunted it using our own skills! What's wrong with that?"
"Besides, who do you think you are? What right do you have to come here and mind our business?"
Xiao Chen felt more and more justified as he spoke.
Exactly, this creature lived here for a hundred years.
None of you could hunt it.
Our Crimson Flame Sect finally managed to kill it, so what right do you have to stop us?"
Chen Xian said righteously, "Truly a green youth who doesn't know what's what."
"This Crimson Flame Qilin is a first-class protected animal of our North Continent."
"By hunting our protected animal, you naturally deserve to die!"
Xiao Chen and the Junior Martial Brother beside him were dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had ever heard such a thing.
The Junior Martial Brother couldn't help but say, "What kind of reason is that?"
"Saying that, you might as well just come and rob us directly; it would be more straightforward!"
Chen Xian smiled slightly.
"Very well, then I shall rob you!"
Although Xiao Chen had a guilty conscience...
...and this wasn't their home turf in the Western Continent...
...he still said through gritted teeth, "Rob us? We'll see if you have the life to do it!"
He attacked instantly.
Charging directly at Chen Xian.
The Junior Martial Brother beside him provided support from the side.
The moment the two of them rushed toward Chen Xian together...
Chen Xian muttered to himself, "Tsk, bullying with numbers, are we?"
"So what?"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite."
He snapped his fingers.
Five figures appeared behind him!
