Though Yinma Town was only a town, it was as flourishing as a small city because of its proximity to Mystic Heaven City.
It was late in the morning; the small town was very busy and thronged with people and horses. A handsome young man in a dashing robe with a numinous sword at his waist came from the south gate of the small town. A hoary-haired old servant followed him. On the first impression, it was a young master of a great family going sightseeing.
“Wow, that young sir is so attractive. I am enthralled by just one look.”
“Yes. Do you see the numinous artifact in his hand? He is definitely a young master from a super prestigious family?”
“That goes without saying. Even his servant is at the peak-stage of Purple Mansion Realm. How is a young master of a small family able to afford this?”
Young ladies in the teahouse, in the inn, and on the street— all turned to the young man from time to time. Their eyes were filled with heat and desire. Some discussed him boldly and gave him the glad eyes now and then.
Buddy, the girls here are really hot and straightforward!
Jiang Yi rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Girls around him were dressed revealingly. Some even wore leather miniskirts, exposing half of their butts. Their hips wiggled as they walked. Jiang Yi was not used to such a scene.
“Young Master, relax. The Heaven Mystics Kingdom has always been very open. If a lady finds a man she is fond of, they will get a room in the inn straight away! Young master, you need to act normal. Otherwise, people will notice you.”
He Lao secretly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi blushed as he was still a virgin. Though he had seen many pretty girls—and his love was the most beautiful woman on the continent, it still made him uncomfortable when He Lao brought up such things on the streets.
It was lucky that he had a strong mind and regained his composure shortly. He blatantly looked back at the women that were staring at him. Those alluring eyes made him wonder. It was only a numinous artifact. If he brought a sacred artifact with him, those women would probably jump to him immediately.
Following He Lao, Jiang Yi went in a medium-sized inn. The innkeeper was a charming young woman. She was kind of good-looking and had an extremely hot body. Her breasts were so enormous that it appeared like they were about brim over her clothing. Her white and tender skin and deep cleavage could be seen clearly from the really low-cut dress. The sight was so tantalizing and inducing for one to make mistakes.
“Yo, such a fine looking young master. Are you booking tables or rooms?”
When the flirty young woman saw Jiang Yi coming in with He Lao, she put up a smile at once. Welcoming them with her bouncing breasts, the woman slid one hand over Jiang Yi’s shoulders. Jiang Yi was suffocated by her strong perfume and snorted. Instead of an inn, he felt like going into a brothel.
“Please reserve the most expensive No.1 heaven room. We have the money.” He Lao said in a low voice.
The young woman’s eyes lit up. She put up an even brighter smile and glanced at He Lao. “No.1 heaven room? My noble guests, I’m so sorry to inform you that room is taken up. Can I arrange you to stay in No.3 heaven room instead?”
“Make it two. We will take both No.2 and No.3.” He Lao responded expressionlessly.
“As you wish!”
The young women turned back and called a waiter to take He Lao and Jiang Yi upstairs. Jiang Yi glimpsed at the innkeeper. All the guests were all bewitched by her. He secretly applauded the Zhan Clan for making such an arrangement. It was apparent that the young woman was good at collecting information. Ordinary men would tell her everything when they were in bed with her.
Jiang Yi and He Lao went upstairs. After they came into a room, the waiter immediately genuflected 1 and said, “Greeting to the two lords. Please follow me.”
The waiter turned on a hidden mechanism. A white light flashed by, revealing a secret door. He Lao and Jiang Yi went in. An underground tunnel extended to a secluded tiny courtyard.
“Mistress Liu pays her respects to Elder He and… this should be the Regent?”
That ravishing young woman had been there waiting for them for quite some time. She genuflected once she saw two of them entering the courtyard. Almost half of her two huge ‘jade melons’ was exposed as she leaned forward.
“Rise!”
Clearly, He Lao was experienced and used to everything. He waved. “This is the Regent. Are things here reversed?”
“No!”
Mistress Liu nodded to Jiang Yi. She smiled and greeted Jiang Yi one more time.
“The Witch Empress has made the decision, and no one can change it. Besides, very few people are aware of this project. I confirm the accuracy of this information from a master of the evil sorcery lineage by sacrificing my beauty. Young Master Huo Shu’s father doesn’t know Princess Yun Fei has his soul seal. As the Huo Clan and the Witch Empress are relatives—this time, Huo Clan will send martial experts to attack Princess Yun Fei. That is how we get the information.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
He Lao trusted Mistress Liu’s words completely. She was an orphan and raised in the Zhan Clan. Without a doubt, she was loyal.
Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a moment. Then he asked, “How many of our men have you assembled? How many martial experts are there with Princess Yun Fei and Prince Yun Xian? How many guards are watching them? Is it possible to make contact with them? How many people is the Witch Empress going to send?”
Mistress Liu lowered her head and contemplated for a while. She replied, “We don’t have many men. I can only gather ten Soul Travel Realm Experts who are all below the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm, and 300 Purple Mansion Realm experts. Princess Yun Fei and Prince Yun Xian are put under house arrest in the prince’s residence. There are a few martial experts guarding them, but we can only trust two of them, who are at the seventh or eighth stage of Soul Travel Realm. However, there are one thousand royal army guards surveilling them. The leader is a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general! Our men are not able to blend in because the royal army is monitoring them closely. In order not to cause any suspicion, I have not taken any action.
“As for… the exact number of men that Witch Empress is sending, I have yet to find out. By conservative estimates, there will be five peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts and more than 30 martial experts that are above the fifth stage of the Soul Travel Realm. The Witch Empress is determined to kill them. She does not allow gaps for any mistake.”
Mistress Liu was competent for her job and investigated everything in detail. Jiang Yi nodded in secret and did not interrupt. He Lao pondered for a moment and asked, “Have you devised any good plan? If we can save them, is there any way to retreat?”
“Any plan…”
Mistress Liu knitted her pretty brows. Gritting her teeth, she said, “I have a tentative idea. On the day of sacrifice, I will distract the Witch Empress with 300 Purple Mansion Realm experts who will march to Yun Qi’s residence. Prince Yun Qi is only nine years old and is the youngest son of the Witch Empress. After the death of Yun Lu, the Witch Empress asked the king to make him a liege lord. Needless to say, she wanted Yun Qi to become the crown prince.
“If we attack the Sage King Residence 2 , the Witch Empress will definitely send a strong army to rescue him. When she does that… I will order some men to cause chaos in the city. Then Elder and Regent can ambush Yun Xian’s residence with ten Soul Travel Realm experts. With your strength, it should be fairly easy to rescue the prince and princess.
“As for the way out—!”
Mistress Liu paused for a while before continuing. “I have asked my men to dig a lot of underground tunnels since you arrived. You should be able to fool the pursuers temporarily and flee effortlessly—if you summon the Zouwu Beast and take the tunnel from the north of the city. Of course… it will be very troublesome if Grandma Silver Flower is alerted. The power of Vajra Realm martial experts is too formidable.”
“It’s good enough!”
Jiang Yi had not spoken a word since he came in. Now, he made the final decision and waved. “Let’s stick to this plan. Mistress Liu, you can find other things for those ten Soul Travel Realm experts to do. Just He Lao and I will go to the Sage King Residence. I don’t need help. They are too weak and will only be a burden. Plan your ways to retreat carefully. Let the killing begin in two days!”
