Chapter 215: Chapter 9: I Admit My Previous Attitude Was Somewhat Disrespectful [Seeking Monthly Ticket!]_1

"Gentlemen, whilst it’s true business hasn’t been great today, our establishment isn’t a place for idling either. You’ve been here for quite a time without ordering a meal or the company of our ladies. Do you take us for a teahouse?"

A heavily made-up middle-aged woman, who appeared to be the house madam, stepped forward, expressing her displeasure towards the trio.

Considering the affluent look of these young men, she had thought they were sons of rich families. However, they had been lounging around for quite some time without ordering any liquor or requesting for companionship; behaving exactly opposite to spending customers. Hence, her prompt to send them away.

A place like this does not have idlers. Only because business was bad today, they had tolerated them for so long.

"Are you upset that we’re not spending money?" Chu Liang looked up, regarding her neutrally, and then ordered languidly,

"Get us another fruit plate."

Pfft.

At these words, Lin Bei and Shang Ziliang could not help but reveal embarrassed smiles.

The way you solemnly ordered a simple fruit platter, the cheapest item we offer, was like something a distant and mysterious lord would do.

Shang Ziliang whispered, "Big brother, perhaps we should invite a few good ladies over, or at the least some snacks and drinks. I’ll pay."

Being the younger of a rich second-generation, even though his Sword Coins had been confined, he had no shortage of standard silver and gold.

Just when Chu Liang was about to say something, he suddenly felt a disturbance from the Beheading Red Famous Sword in his compartment in the White Pagoda space.

His previously relaxed gaze abruptly hardened and he looked outside.

A carriage was slowly passing by, and behind the carriage, there was an unassuming peddler pushing a small cart home. Both the big and the small cart passed by the brothel consecutively.

How could a mere peddler emit a blood aura that can stimulate the Beheading Red Famous Sword?

It’s not easy to incite the rage of the Beheading Red Famous Sword. Chu Liang had roughly estimated earlier that it would require a miscreant who had taken more than twenty innocent lives, accumulating enough blood aura to provoke it.

"Something’s wrong. Lin Bei, follow me; keep it quiet. Brother Shang, stay here and keep an eye on the surroundings." Leaving a quiet instruction, Chu Liang immediately got up and stepped outside.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ziliang suddenly tautened up and sat erect.

Contrarily, Lin Bei patted Shang Ziliang on the shoulder to reassure him and said, "Don’t worry, if the sky were to fall, Chu Liang and I would support it. Just quietly observe the area."

An air of the big brother.

Chu Liang stepped out, closely following the shadow of the peddler, wary of getting noticed. He did not use his Divine Sense to probe, and neither did he fix his gaze for a long time. He only pretended to walk casually, taking occasional glances.

Some cultivators are extremely sensitive to gazes or divine senses. Having been exposed for too long would definitely alert them. After a while, he found that the peddler was indeed following the carriage. Chu Liang then didn’t pay more attention to the peddler, but instead just followed the course of the carriage. Lin Bei followed Chu Liang’s shadow from a distance, ready to move forward on call for support.

That carriage continued past Flower Street and took two turns. There were no longer any people around, and the figure of the peddler could not be seen anymore.

But Chu Liang, who had been following, knew that he was lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

It seemed like this peddler was likely a demonic cultivator, the murderer nine out of ten.

Chu Liang decided not to wait any longer. Even if he wasn’t the real murderer, he certainly wasn’t a good person. Taking action here wouldn’t alert people over in Flower Street.

Just as he decided to strike, the peddler made a drastic move!

He burst from the shadow like a black arrow, abruptly swooping onto the carriage. His landing surprisingly light, like a big gecko resting atop the carriage.

He was exceedingly cautious, revealing only a tiny trace of True Qi fluctuation, something almost undetectable by others.

If it wasn’t for Chu Liang’s discovery, the two inside the carriage today wouldn’t have stood a chance of escaping!

Seeing the peddler about to strike, Chu Liang’s attack flew from the darkness, and swoosh—

A green light subtly and silently traced an elusive curve and landed behind the target.

Shick—

Flying Leaf Sharp Knife!

Amongst all of Chu Liang’s Divine Skills this was the most covert attack, ideally suited for an ambush.

The reason he did not instantly kill with the Beheading Red Famous Sword was its power was too overwhelming. It wouldn’t just kill the demonic cultivator but would endanger the nearby common people too. The chances of carrying items getting destroyed was also quite high.

Moreover, given the circumstances, capturing alive was a better choice than an outright kill as it would reveal more information.

"Ah!"

Just as the peddler had crept atop the carriage, he yelled in pain. He had a deep cut on his back and only then noticed Chu Liang’s silhouette behind him. He rolled over endeavored to flee!

Seeing that he was discovered and wanting to flee from the sky, he did not care about revealing True Qi fluctuations anymore!

Would Chu Liang let him escape? The Flying Leaf Sharp Knife spun like a whirlwind as Chu Liang retracted it, creating a ferocious green snake in the air!

Control!

Shick—

The green snake opened its giant jaws and its fangs bit into the peddler’s neck. Blood sprouted from the bite. If he hadn’t blocked a little with his arms, this strike would’ve surely decapitated him!

But now he was bitten by this green snake and couldn’t move a muscle.

Chu Liang dashed up and, sensing the man’s aura, confirmed it; he was indeed at the peak of The Third Realm and would be the serial killer!

A non-mainstream demonic cultivator, not very strong against the present Chu Liang at all.

However, such a cultivator was freely murdering commoners. Chu Liang couldn’t even begin to imagine what a world without protection would look like.

...

Yang Yuhu sat in a loft facing the street. In his hand, flecks of. white light faintly visible, being scattered by the wind across the town, were quietly felt and observed.

These were Penglai’s local Shenyi insects, able to sense even the smallest fluctuations of True Qi. During the day, he visited each crime scene and captured traces of the killer’s True Qi. As soon as the latter used a tiny bit of Divine Skill within the city again, no matter how weak, Yang Yuhu would instantly perceive it.
