Hearing Feng Jiu's answer, Cao Zijun's fury turned to shock, and from shock to silence. Finally, he sat there silently, unable to speak. Even if he had a strong desire to complain, he could not express it at this moment.
"The more it is so, the more suspicious I find it." Feng Jiu poured a cup of water and pushed it before Cao Zijun, "The nature of this matter has already surpassed the scope of being a demon spy. Even I have to admit that Master's worries are right … but how weak this decision was and how unfair it was to junior apprentice-brother Yan. I have always felt guilty about it."
"If that is so … then there is indeed nothing we can do …" Cao Zijun let out a long sigh.
Feng Jiu continued, "Still, I believe that Master feels bad as well. So, there might be a chance this time. I just wonder what junior apprentice-brother Yan thinks."
"I will go out and scout for more information," Cao Zijun said as he leapt out of the window, vanishing into the bustling night market.
Feng Jiu sat for a moment before standing up and heading in the opposite direction.
The bamboo hat man next door smiled to himself, "While I cannot hear that secret, it has given me a chance. It is not bad to do Yan Shifang a favour. If I find Xu Longxiang, I will be able to find the hostage. The Blood Drawing Plate just so happens to contain the aura of his blood. " Thinking thus, he took out a compass artifact and bit his finger, dripping a drop of essence blood onto the compass as he muttered, "Blood Drawing Art, Xu Longxiang."
The compass strangely absorbed the essence blood, the bronze needle turning blood red as it spun madly on the dial. At a certain moment, it suddenly stopped on a scale.
The bamboo hat man could not help but be taken aback before feeling overjoyed. This precious artifact of his was called the Blood Drawing Plate. It tracked the location by recording the aura of the blood. The location was shown by the scale while the distance was shown by the number of circles the needle had spun. He was overjoyed because the number of circles the needle had spun was very few, indicating that the destination was very close.
"This location, this distance … isn't it within Long Ling Manor?" His gaze flickered, "Wait, Lei Yan led the enforcement team down to the Dragon Manor. Could it be that he has some agreement with the Dragon Monarch? Or has Long Ling Manor grasped Yan Shifang's whereabouts? Eh! These two roads to the north were Yan Shifang's territory in the past. With his personality of not wanting to lose, he would definitely take it back. If I help him save the hostages, he will owe me a favor. "
Thinking of this, he put away the compass and jumped out of the window. He flipped onto the roof and tore through the night sky as fast as lightning. He quickly snuck out of Longling Manor without anyone noticing.
Longling Manor was Jiang Mingcheng's base camp, located in the center of the city on the original site of Swallow Dock. It was unique in that its courtyards were three stories high, making full use of the Space Overlay technology to save a lot of space.
Having reached this position, he had no choice but to be careful. It had to be known that there were as many experts in the mansion as there were clouds in the sky. Just the great experts that he currently knew included Lei Yan and Jiang Mingcheng. The slightly weaker Xu Longxiang would not be so easy to deal with. Furthermore, the experts of Dragon Order City, such as Tang Sect's Wang Yan, were likely to be gathered in Dragon Order Manor during this special period.
Looking at a gap in the patrol, he was about to sneak in when he suddenly turned his head. There seemed to be a streak of light in the distant sky that was slowly dissipating under the starlight. He frowned slightly. "Sword control? Am I hallucinating? " His figure melted into the night and he leaped from the roof like a snowflake, drifting over a distance of dozens of feet, over the wall, and into a garden in Longling Manor. He crouched on the ground and observed for a moment. Seeing that a light was on in a pavilion in front of him on the left, he silently scuttled over, climbed from the pillar to the eaves, and flipped from the eaves to the roof. Like a bat, he stuck to the rubble and listened quietly.
"Lord Deacon, this is the end of the inventory report. Do you have any other orders?"
"You may leave."
"Yes."
There was the sound of a door being pushed open and soft cloth boots hitting the ground, followed by the sound of a door being closed. There was a rustling sound as the deacon inside took off his coat and lay on the bed, muttering as if complaining, "A mere Yan Shifang made Dragon Order City panic. The City Lord is also making a mountain out of a molehill, checking the inventory every two or three days. But it's finally done. No one can wake me up now! "As he spoke, he crawled into bed and fell asleep.
In the deacon's dream, a knife was suddenly pressed against his neck.
"Don't open your eyes and don't shout. I'll ask and you'll answer. I hope we can cooperate happily."
"I don't care who you are. How dare you threaten me in your dreams …" the deacon muttered. Suddenly, he felt some liquid flowing from his neck to the pillow behind his head. He subconsciously reached out to touch it, and his whole body immediately trembled. "Hero, please spare my life …" He closed his eyes tightly. He knew that if he saw the man's face, he would definitely die.
"Where is the hostage brought by the law enforcement team of the Court Of Sword?"
"What law enforcement team? What hostage? "the deacon said in a trembling voice." M-Hero, I don't know … "
Don't you know that pleasing should be mutual? "The man in the bamboo hat laughed softly." If you can't please me, then I'll have to let you sleep forever. I'll only give you two breaths' time to think about it. Loyalty or survival, it's your choice. "
"Spare my life, spare my life …" The deacon trembled like a sieve. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. "Ah, is the hero referring to the ship of guests that the City Lord personally went to welcome? I remember now. That cage is in the first storeroom! "
"What do you mean by cage?"
"That hostage, a little girl, is locked in the cage … She doesn't speak. I brought food to feed her today, but she doesn't eat. She's like an idiot. I heard from my men that she secretly cries when no one is around …"
"What a poor child, don't you think so, deacon?"
"Yes, yes, yes. She's really pitiful. I deliberately added a lot of meat in her food. I can't bear to see her thin and weak … Hero, are you here to save her?"
"Of course, you call me hero, so I naturally have to do what a hero should do. Now put on your clothes and go to the first warehouse. I'll secretly follow you. You have to pretend that you don't know my existence. If you dare to sound the alarm, I'll kill you. Do you understand? "
"This …" The deacon trembled with fear. "Hero, the number one storehouse is under the Bright Light Tower where the City Lord resides. I cannot appear there at this time. Otherwise, I will definitely die …" His hand under the quilt touched a weapon.
"Alas, I didn't want to kill you. Why do you force me?"
"No, don't …"
The moonlight shone in through the window. A drop of blood floated over and was dyed silver white. However, when it sprinkled on the ground, it had already cooled. The man in the bamboo hat glanced at it and sighed in a low voice. "You're not dead, but your blood is already cold. This means that deacon has long been a corpse. I didn't expect that Guo Nantian, the Soul Corpse King who ran amok in River East, has now become the dog of the Dragon Emperor's imperial court. "
"Hehe, you really don't know how to talk."
Amidst the moonlight, a pale, hairy hand stretched out. Its sharp nails were black and looked like ten small knives. A hoarse and deep voice sounded in the room. "Seeing that you don't use a sword, you must not be Yan Shifang. You can kill my doppelganger in an instant, so your strength is not weak. But why do you think that you can enter and leave the Dragon Order Mansion freely?"
