Chapter 224: Ye Xianzhu is young and frivolous and loves excitement
Ye Xianqing's sword light was like a violent storm, forcing those demon cultivators to retreat step by step.
The joining of Chu He and Qin Muyue made the battle one-sided.
"You came at the right time. Help me rob these shops!" Ye Xianqing said with full martial virtue while swinging his sword. In the world of demons, only strength and background matter. If he robbed these shops, they would belong to his Qinling clan.
Chu He and Qin Muyue immediately understood that as long as these humans fell into Ye Xianqing's hands, they would be much safer than falling into the hands of the demon cultivators in Yinchi City.
"We can't allow more monsters to watch the show, we have to fight quickly and decisively." Qin Muyue reminded.
Chu He nodded, his folding fan flew around, and he fought with the demon cultivator using his object control skills and fists and feet, while he restrained his spiritual power to ensure his body's defense.
The demon cultivator also happened to like the way of physical cultivation, and for a while they started fighting with dazzling body and sword techniques. Chu He used his skin injuries to exchange for internal energy to injure the demon cultivator's internal organs.
"What great martial arts!" Ye Xianqing exclaimed. His swordsmanship became even more fierce, and each sword carried the magical power of the Qinling clan, forcing the demon cultivator shopkeeper to have nowhere to escape.
The battle ended quickly. Chu He and Qin Muyue quickly tied up the seriously injured demon cultivator and demanded the shop's contract.
The aftermath of the battle had not yet subsided, but Ye Xianqing's sword had already been sheathed, and his eyes revealed a sense of pride and arrogance.
Chu He and Qin Muyue followed closely behind, silently exuding deafening loyalty.
"From today on, these shops will be the property of my Qinling clan." Ye Xianqing's voice was cold and firm. His eyes swept over the defeated demon cultivators as if he was examining a group of ants.
Chu He and Qin Muyue didn't say much. They acted quickly and used the cold swords to force the demon cultivator shop owners to hand over their shop contracts.
"You...you are looking for death!" A demon cultivator shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Qin Muyue sneered, and the tip of her sword lightly scratched the demon cultivator's cheek, leaving a bloody mark: "In Yinchi City, the strong are respected and the losers are enemies. You are not strong enough, who can you blame?"
Chu He was even more direct. He kicked a demon cultivator to the ground and said coldly, "Hand over your pledge or die."
The demon cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew resistance was futile and had no choice but to hand over their pledge children.
Ye Xianqing took the pledge, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"These shops belong to this young master. Is that okay with you?" Ye Xianqing blinked at the two of them, took out the Qinling tribe's demon order, and asked the demon soldiers proudly.
"You are the young master of the Qinling clan. You got the shop by your own strength. How dare we have any objection?" the demon soldier said in a servile manner.
The three men gathered up the shackled humans and brought them into a larger shop.
Ye Xianqing closed the door and then asked for credit with a smug look on his face: "It's rare for me to be so kind, what are you going to do with these people?"
Chu He looked at Qin Muyue, then at Ye Xianqing with a vigilant look in his eyes: "Miss Qin and I have something important tonight..."
"Mr. Ye, I have a small plan to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and destroy the sword-refining formation. Do you want to join?" Qin Muyue told him everything.
"This is a really big plan, Miss Qin!" Ye Xianqing took a breath.
"Young Master Ye, if you don't want to go we won't force you. We just ask you not to make it public." Chu He shook his head and secretly rejoiced. Ye Xianqing's cowardly behavior would surely make Miss Qin dislike him.
"Who said that I don't want to go? You all have done it, so why shouldn't I?" Ye Xianqing reacted, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: It's just a sword to kill people, look, this immortal king will dismantle it, it will be a great merit, I can go back and blow it with Han Zhu for a year.
Chu He felt a little disappointed, but also relieved that there were actually demons willing to join this adventure in the Yetan City Lord's Mansion.
"Mr. Ye is so generous!" the girl praised him generously.
Ye Xianqing smiled slightly, and his fingers tapped the contract in his hand lightly: "Let's settle these humans first, and then...what we need to find is the core of the formation for refining the sword that kills people."
Qin Muyue's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Once the sword is used to kill people, blood will flow like a river. We humans will not let this happen."
The three people's eyes met in the air, and they knew that the next action would be even more dangerous.
As night fell, the three of them quietly left the shop and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The night was as dark as ink, and the streets of Yinchi City were filled with an oppressive atmosphere. The patrols of the demon soldiers became more intense, but Ye Xianqing, Chu He, and Qin Muyue had affixed invisibility talismans and breath-hiding talismans, and were able to move through silently.
"The defense of the City Lord's Mansion is stricter than we thought." Ye Xianqing said in a low voice, his eyes flashing sharp light in the dark.
Chu He nodded, holding the folding fan tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time. "We must be careful. Once we are discovered, not only us, but also the spies will be in danger."
Qin Muyue held a yellowed map in her hand, on which was marked the layout of the City Lord's Mansion and the possible location of the array's core: "According to this map, the array's core may be in the deepest part of the City Lord's Mansion, in the sleeping quarters of the Nine-phase Demon Chi."
She took two unlucky men who had fallen into nightmares and led them to their deaths without any psychological pressure.
The three of them carefully avoided the patrolling demon soldiers and jumped into the high wall of the city lord's mansion.
"Look, there is a secret door there." Ye Xianqing pointed to a seemingly ordinary wall. He waved his finger lightly, and a weak wave of demonic power overflowed from his fingertips. A hidden entrance immediately appeared on the wall.
Chu He and Qin Muyue looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Ye Xianqing is indeed a demon.
"Let's go." Ye Xianqing said in a low voice. He was the first to step into the secret door, followed closely by Chu He and Qin Muyue.
Behind the secret door was a narrow passage, the air filled with damp and moldy smells.
The three held their breath and walked carefully along the passage. They took every step very cautiously, fearing that they would trigger any possible traps.
"There are guards ahead." Qin Muyue suddenly stopped, her ears moved slightly, catching the subtle sound ahead.
Ye Xianqing and Chu He stopped immediately, their eyes met in the darkness, and they silently discussed countermeasures.
Ye Xianqing nodded slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, an almost imperceptible piano sound echoed in the passage. The guard in front suddenly became confused, as if he was trapped in a fantasy.
"Good opportunity." Chu He whispered. He and Qin Muyue approached the guards silently and knocked them out with lightning speed.
The three continued to move forward and finally arrived deep into the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards here are stricter, but they are also more cautious in their movements, and every breath is controlled to be extremely subtle so as not to attract attention.
"Everyone, be careful." Qin Muyue stared at the bedroom of the Nine-phase Demon Chi, where the lights were bright and bursts of seductive music could be heard.
