Chapter 30 A Dark and Windy Night
Ahead, on a large tree.
On the swaying branch, Yan Chu stood with both feet on the leaves, his posture moving with the swaying of the boughs.
The heavy rain had just ceased, the bright moon hung high, and a gentle breeze blew; the birds in the forest were undisturbed. Yan Chu's robes fluttered, as if he were about to ride the wind and ascend to the Moon Palace.
" Duan... Duan Zhengchun... "
Suddenly struck by both great joy and great fear, Xie Kun's teeth chattered, and he could not even complete a full sentence.
Thump!
His knees went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing incessantly.
" Great Hero Duan, I was wrong! "
" Everything was arranged by Wei Bin! "
" He colluded with Lian Jiaze to frame you as the wanted criminal Yan Chu, all to covet the secret you possess... "
Without needing Yan Chu to ask, Xie Kun spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube, confessing the entire ins and outs of the matter.
He pushed all responsibility onto Wei Bin.
Every plan was Wei Bin's idea and order; he was merely Wei Bin's subordinate, unable to resist and forced to accept it passively.
As he spoke, he continued to kowtow, his forehead covered in dust and blood.
He dared not stop!
Yan Chu's display during the day was too brutal, completely inconsistent with the image of the mild-mannered good guy he usually projected.
Without Yan Chu's command, he kept kowtowing.
" Alright! Stop! "
As soon as Yan Chu's voice fell, Xie Kun stopped kowtowing. Kneeling there, he was enveloped by a huge shadow.
Slowly raising his head, he saw that Yan Chu had appeared before him at some unknown moment, looking down at him from above.
His eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Xie Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly cried out with a sobbing tone:
" Great Hero Duan! Brother Duan... Grandpa Duan! Big Brother! Spare my life! "
" Do you remember? I even treated you to a meal! "
Yan Chu smiled.
" Of course I remember. "
" It is not impossible to spare your life; it all depends on your performance! "
" Please speak! I will tell you everything I know! "
" Where is Wei Bin? "
" Wei Bin? Could it be that you want to... "
Xie Kun was startled. He looked up, met Yan Chu's gaze, and immediately understood his intentions.
This was a fierce man who definitely would not suffer a loss!
Thus, he unhesitatingly listed all the places Wei Bin liked to frequent, and finally added:
" These days, Wei Bin has been staying with Lian Jiaze. They always meet at Cangchun Tower to discuss matters. "
" Today they sent the Four Oddities of Dry Tung Mountain to intercept and kill you, so they must be waiting for news at Cangchun Tower right now. "
" Hmm... "
Yan Chu nodded, not doubting Xie Kun's words.
He had surely terrified him enough today; he did not have the guts to deceive him again.
Yan Chu was deep in thought.
The place was about two hundred li from the prefecture city; at full speed, he could arrive in less than an hour.
A round trip plus handling the business would take two hours.
The problem was that it was currently curfew time, and the city gates were closed, so he could not get in.
Moreover, there was a Fourth Realm expert stationed every so often to guard the city walls; if he used light movement skills to leap over, it was impossible not to alert them.
Should he give up? Act another day?
But he really felt unwilling to do so now!
If he did not tear this bastard Wei Bin into ten thousand pieces, it would be hard to soothe the hatred in his heart.
Yan Chu looked at Xie Kun, " Do you know how to get into the city at night? "
Xie Kun: " There is a way, but I am afraid... "
" Speak! "
" Yes... yes! "
Xie Kun hurriedly explained.
There was a dog hole about thirty or forty centimeters wide at each of the four corners of the city wall; beggars inside and outside the city usually used these holes to come and go.
" That dog hole is small and dirty; it does not befit your status! "
" Less nonsense! "
Yan Chu said coldly, " You will come with me tonight. If I discover you have said even one wrong word, I will let you see your own brains! "
" I would not dare! Absolutely not! "
Xie Kun hurriedly promised.
Slap!
Yan Chu pressed a palm onto his shoulder, and with True Qi entering his body, he directly sealed all of Xie Kun's major acupuncture points.
" Qi Sea Realm! It really is the Qi Sea Realm! "
Xie Kun cursed inwardly: " Wei Bin, you bastard, you have screwed me over completely! "
Just after he finished cursing, he felt himself being lifted up, then flying through the air for dozens of meters.
After landing and borrowing force, another few dozen meters.
The wind whistled past.
Yan Chu carried a person without the slightest pressure.
He unleashed his Golden Goose Skill to its full extent, sprinting along the mountain path, and soon reached the official road, his speed increasing even further.
Finally, after more than half an hour, Longhua Prefecture city appeared before his eyes.
Under the cover of night, it resembled a giant beast lying on the ground.
" Where is the dog hole? "
Yan Chu asked the Xie Kun in his hand.
This fellow had his mute point sealed by Yan Chu, so he could only point in a direction with his finger.
Yan Chu came over and indeed found a small hole.
It was covered by a pile of thatch, with a few piles of dog excrement nearby.
Judging by the size of the hole, it could only allow one person to crawl in.
Under Yan Chu's signal, Xie Kun had no choice but to clear away the thatch and dog excrement at the entrance and, holding his nose, crawled into the hole.
Yan Chu followed behind, and after a moment, emerged from the other end of the hole, having successfully entered the city.
Yan Chu did not delay, taking Xie Kun straight to Cangchun Tower.
Although it was late at night, Cangchun Tower was still brightly lit.
However, most were lost in dreams, and the decadent music had diminished significantly.
" Which room is Wei Bin in? "
Yan Chu unsealed Xie Kun's mute point and asked.
" Every time the two of them meet, Lian Jiaze books the room; he likes to book Earth Room Number Twelve. "
Yan Chu nodded, sealed all his acupuncture points again, threw him into a corner, and then snuck into Cangchun Tower.
He had been here once before and was quite familiar with the layout, so he easily found the location of Earth Room Number Twelve.
Inside the room, Lian Jiaze was completely naked, sleeping with his eyes closed.
On both sides of him were two women without a stitch of clothing.
Judging by the flush on their faces, they must have had a very good time playing with Lian Jiaze.
In his sleep, for some reason, Lian Jiaze suddenly felt a palpitation and hurriedly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a pair of cold, indifferent eyes.
" Wha... Boom! "
He had just uttered one word when a palm pressed against his chest, sealing his entire body, and the rest of his words could not be spoken.
He could only look at Yan Chu with fearful eyes.
Ignoring the pleading in his eyes, Yan Chu asked: " Where is Wei Bin? "
Lian Jiaze could not speak and could only signal to the room next door with his eyes.
Yan Chu understood.
Boom!
A palm struck down.
Lian Jiaze appeared completely undamaged on the outside, but his skull was a mess on the inside; soon, blood began to flow from his seven orifices.
【 Killed the Third Realm Martial Artist who hunted you down, settling the grudge, Experience + 500 】
As for Wei Bin, Yan Chu did not intend to let this bastard die so easily.
He entered the next room silently.
Wei Bin was also sleeping, a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if he were having a pleasant dream.
Beside him was only one woman.
And judging by the woman's state, she was clearly not fully satisfied.
Yan Chu could not help but look at Wei Bin with disdain.
What a useless, flashy spear!
If it were him, this woman would not be able to get out of bed for three days and three nights.
Yan Chu grabbed him, instantly waking Wei Bin up, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he fell back into a deep sleep.
Returning to the place just now.
Yan Chu picked up Xie Kun again and fled toward the city wall.
If someone were to investigate, what he did tonight certainly could not be hidden; there were simply too many loopholes.
But Yan Chu did not intend to hide forever.
He took Wei Bin away, firstly to vent his anger, and secondly to confuse the investigators and buy himself some time.
By the time they investigated him, he would already be far away, having found another place to hide.
He would wait until his cultivation reached the Fifth Realm before reappearing.
By then, in this Longhua Prefecture, aside from the old monsters who never left their seclusion, who could do anything to him?
