The instant that Senior Brother Guo went in, Qin Wushuang also scrambled out of the darkness. With his ability at the Middle Stage, it was not difficult to hide from the ears of these people. Plus with Zhu Yun that served as a distraction, it made Qin Wushuang move with ease.
In a flash, he made it into the yard.
With each step getting him closer, he soon arrived within the yard. Qin Wushuang was not in a hurry. He knew that since four people was on guard outside, it would be impossible if no one else had posed as a secret sentry inside.
Indeed, as soon as that Senior Brother Guo had walked in, someone from the darkness growled lightly: “Who is it?”
That Senior Brother Guo immediately said: “Senior Brother Yang, it’s me. Zhu Yun came to visit and he said that he had some urgent information that he needed to report Teacher immediately. That guy was serious about this information and that it concerns our future and the destiny of our group. I have no choice but to come in and report it to teacher.”
In the darkness, that Senior Brother Yang remained silent for a moment and said: “Ok, go bring Zhu Yun and I will report it to teacher.”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was overjoyed. This was a window of opening. Once he made it into this internal area, it would be much easier to kill Zhang Baidang.
That Senior Brother Guo turned around and walked out. That Senior Brother Yang passed through the corridor and headed toward the inner courtyard. Then, he stopped before an unnoticeable room.
Just when he was about to knock, a light shout came from the inside: “Yang Li, what are you doing at this time?”
That Senior Brother’s name was Yang Li, he immediately opened his mouth to speak: “Teacher, Junior Brother Guo reported that Junior Brother Zhu Yun had urgent information that he needed to tell you. He said that this information concerns our destiny and future, and is extremely important.”
That voice from the inside asked eerily: “Zhu Yun? Is he alone, or are there others?”
“It’s only him.”
Indeed, that voice was Zhang Baidang, the traitor that had escaped from the Iron Fan Gate. After a moment of silence, that voice shouted: “Go out and wait fifteen minutes.”
Yang Li immediately answered: “Ok!”
Currently, Qin Wushuang had already made it to the inner courtyard. The design of this inner courtyard was extremely simple. There was not a single blade of grass.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was shocked at this Zhang Baidang’s cunning and caution . He was afraid of assassination and did not plant a single blade of grass in the yard. Even if an assassin had come, they would have nowhere to hide. Indeed, it was a good strategy.
However, Qin Wushuang did not need to hide himself in the vegetation. He dashed from a pillar and hid his body within the shadow as he merged completely with the darkness. If one did not stand right before him, they would never see him hiding here.
Qin Wushuang listened carefully and instantly, his ears felt warm as he swore: “For sure this Zhang Baidang is lecherous. Even at this moment he is having sexual intercourse. Such lecherous figure with excessive intercourse, and he wants to pursue the ultimate martial arts? Today, he should die and it will be justice for those people that died innocently at the Iron Fan Gate.”
Currently, Zhang Baidang was at a dashing stage. Of course, Qin Wushuang did not listen to the commotion coming from the bedroom. Instead, he focused his attention elsewhere.
In less than a moment, Yang Li lead two people. One of them was Senior Brother Guo, and the other, Zhu Yun, was standing far away from the corridor.
All of them knew what their teacher enjoyed indulging in. Of course, they would not dare to disturb his entertainment.
Finally, after a beast like growl escaped from inside the room, there were some noisy moving sounds. After a moment, that Zhang Baidang cleared his throat.
“Yang Li, Guo Xiu, you two stand guard outside. Don’t let anyone unnecessary approach. Zhu Yun can stay and answer my questions from outside.”
Zhang Baidang was being extremely cautious as he did not even let Zhu Yun enter the door. Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was shocked and he thought that indeed, he was extremely careful. It seemed that for someone who had done something wrong, they were scared of ghosts knocking on the door at night.
Both Yang Li and Guo Xiu retreated obediatenly. They walked out of the inner courtyard and started patrolling on the outside of the inner courtyard. Inwardly, Qin Wushuang exclaimed in approval. This way, these two would not be able to see the situation inside the inner courtyard. It would be easy for him to execute his plan.
Being extremely cunning, this Zhang Baidang felt that this inner courtyard was absolutely safe as he was confident there were no hiding place. Thus, he had sent Yang Li and Guo Xiu away. As such, it gave Qin Wushuang many more possibilities to execute his plan with ease.
“Zhu Yun, what business do you have that you would disturb me this late at night?” There was an imposing tone in Zhang Baidang’s voice. He was rather courteous to his Upper Sky disciples. However, he spoke with an imposing manner to someone like Zhu Yun who was only at the peak of the peak of Pre-Sky Realm.
Zhu Yun immediately said: “Teacher, I received some vital news. It seems that one of the countries of the Three Eastern Empires had ordered a batch of pills at the supreme qualities from the Sky Travel Empire. They items will pass through our imperial capital. The people that are escorting it are only a few Initial Stage warriors.”
“Pills of supreme quality? What pills?” Zhang Baidang did not express his opinion.
Zhu Yun immediately said: “It’s a group of Initial Stage and Middle Stage pills. It’s also highly possible that there are one to three Advanced Stage pills.”
“Advanced Pills of the supreme qualities?” Zhang Baidang’s tone had noticeably changed, “Zhu Yun, where did you get this information?”
Zhu Yun immediately told him about his experience from the Wafting Fragrance Brothel.
After Zhang Baidang had finished listening, he not only swore and sneered: “You believed him, a random person?”
“Teacher, that person is willing to promise the verity of his information with his head. Thus, I felt it is somewhat believable. I came to report it to you and it will depend on your decision.” Zhu Yun knew how to please his teacher, “I am only afraid that just in case if it is true, and we missed this opportunity, I would be too ashamed to face you.”
Zhang Baidang said lightly: “It’s great for you to have such heart. Only, I don’t believe that a meat pie would fall from the sky for free.”
“Teacher, regarding the details, you can send a Senior Brother at the Upper Sky level to probe this kid, with the surname Wu.”
Zhang Baidang fell into silence. Apparently, he was also thinking about the authenticity of this matter. He was an extremely careful person. For any matters, he needed to consider whether it was a trap designed by the Iron Fan Gate.
And this matter sounded just like a trap. However, this trap seemed somewhat strange. Zhang Baidang sneered inwardly: “If they really set up a trap for me to fall into, could they be one hundred percent certain that I will go steal these pills?”
This way, he felt that it did not seem like a trap.
Zhu Yun stood outside the door and carefully waited. He did not dare to show any trace of dissatisfaction or impatience. Since his teacher was considering this matter, it meant that he was taking it seriously.
During the wait, he did not make a sound and stood with his hands on his side.
Suddenly, Zhu Yun’s body softened as if some acupoint of his body had been hit as he immediately lost consciousness. With no time to call out, he collapsed.
Qin Wushuang moved extremely fast. He pulled off Zhu Yun’s jacket and wore it. Then, he threw Zhu Yun into the storage sack.
The entire process was fluid like the moving cloud. He had finished it instantly and did not reveal a trace of flaw.
After a moment, Zhang Baidang said: “Zhu Yun, tonight, you will stay here. Tomorrow morning, I will let Yang Li go with you. If that person is free of suspicion, let Yang Li bring him to me.”
At this moment, Qin Wushuang had already taken out the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
He answered and shook the door open with his arms. Then, he went inside the room.
Zhang Baidang had never expected that this Zhu Yun would be this bold as to burst inside the room. After one glance, he felt that something was wrong as he shouted: “Zhu Yun, what are you doing?”
Qin Wushuang fixed his gaze onto Zhang Baidang as he locked onto his position, he almost vomited. That Zhang Baidang was pressing down on a naked girl with one of his hands to collect the vital energy. And the entire body of that girl had turned into a frosting eggplant that had no life force. Apparently, she had already died a long time ago!
While this Zhang Baidang was absorbing the vital energy, he was also absorbing this girl’s entire essence!
Zhang Baidang reacted instantly. He tossed that girl’s body toward Qin Wushuang and jumped out of the window.
With a cold sneer, Qin Wushuang initiated a resplendent green force with the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Carrying an unbeatable temperament and life threatening anger, he shot this energy toward the body of that girl, shattering it into pieces. Still, the arrow flew fast as ever and headed toward the back of Zhang Baidang like a meteor in the darkness.
Zhang Baidang noticed the danger and suddenly, he used a talisman on his body that emitted a red Spiritual Qi to protect his vital parts as his body continued to move forward.
However, the velocity of Qin Wushuang’s arrow was faster than Zhang Baidang.
Like splitting the arrow, two arrows broke that flaming red Spiritual Qi. Qin Wushuang moved extremely fast and used the snake shaped soft whip to wrap around Zhang Baidang’s neck.
Without showing mercy, he initiated the “Power of Deep North Pool” and started to absorb Zhang Baidang’s excessive Qi.
Qin Wushuang used all his force and as despair appeared on Zhang Baidang’s face, he ripped out all of his Spiritual Qi.
Not even in his dreams would Zhang Baidang have thought that his own entire sea of Spiritual Qi would be absorbed after he had just absorbed a girl’s vital energy.
Yang Li and Guo Xiu who were also in the outside yard heard Zhang Baidang’s shouts. They rushed over and asked anxiously: “Teacher, what is going on?”
Qin Wushuang suppressed his tone and imitated Zhang Baidang’s voice: “Come in.”
Both Yang Li and Guo Xiu charged in without hesitation. As soon as they entered, the shadow of the whip flashed and two strong binding power constricted these two. They were left with no room to escape.
Qin Wushuang had a big appetite as he sent out two waves of Power of Deep North Pool and repeated his steps…
After fifteen minutes. Qin Wushuang opened his eyes. There was a trace of coldness in his eyes. He threw the body of these three people into the storage sack and went out the window. By using the darkness, he evaded the ears of the others and left the scene quickly.
“I did it!” Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was feeling unsuppressed excitement. In the process of killing Zhang Baidang, almost all that had happened were within his calculations. In the end, he had successfully escaped. Of course, Qin Wushuang was overjoyed.
It meant that he was one step closer to the Dispersed Praying Mountain!
