Chapter 427: Chapter 6 The Foot of the Wall [Ask for Monthly Tickets!]_1

Wu’an City, Castellan Residence.

Perhaps those with ill intentions are more prone to fear. The protection of the Wu’an City Lord’s Mansion is much stricter than that of ordinary lord’s mansions.

High walls were abundant, formations overlapped, and many martial artists and cultivators kept watch in plain sight and secrecy. A slight mistake could plunge one into a tight encirclement.

However, Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai decided to investigate first, to observe Su Wei’s condition, and then discuss how to act. Although the City Lord’s Mansion was dangerous, with their current cultivation, they could afford to take the risks.

"Here." In the back alley outside the city lord’s mansion, Chu Liang put on a robe woven from Concealment Gauze and handed another one over.

Since discovering the usefulness of these robes in hiding traces, he’d bought several to store in his magical storage tool. It was an essential good for domestic and travel use, adept for rooftop traversing, and perfect for discreet assassinations and coverups.

Moreover, he managed to procure several Concealing Origin Pills, an elixir formula that had been lost to time. He gave one to Jiang Yuebai, saying, "If you have no choice but to act, remember to eat one."

These two items were indeed handy; the only downside was probably their high price...

But it didn’t matter.

Jiang Yuebai cast him a curious look, presumably asking: How did you become so adept at this?

Chu Liang responded with a look that probably meant: Familiar with the hands.

Without further delay, they moved forward swiftly.

The complex formations made simple techniques like passing through walls or earth difficult to use. Equally, leaping over would surely be discovered at a glance.

Fortuitously, both of them were proficient in Shrinkage. With a rustling sound, two black shadows slipped through.

Tang Song, who had previously visited the city lord’s mansion and was a painter, gave them a rough sketch of the layout of the mansion. Therefore, they headed straight towards Su Wei’s dwelling in the backyard without any holdups.

With Jiang Yuebai leading the way and stealthily covering their tracks, her Immortal Spirit body was uncommonly sensitive to spiritual energy, often detecting formations and magic artifacts from a great distance.

Chu Liang followed her, on guard for their surroundings. Although it was their first time working together in such stealth, their cooperation was seamless, like a pair of old partners.

If the top two talents of Shu Mountain were truly stooping to acts of burglary and lockpicking, it would indeed be an invincible combination.

Within moments, they arrived outside a courtyard, close against the wall. Su Wei’s bedroom was inside.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at Chu Liang, and Chu Liang nodded slightly in response.

According to their plan, as long as Su Wei was alone in the room, they would sneak in. Jiang Yuebai would cast an illusion technique, Bright Light Mirror Image, onto him and coax him to confess to his past misdeeds.

As long as they could confirm the killings were his doing, things would be easy.

However, before they could act, bursts of laughter emanated from the room.

There was more than just Su Wei in the room. The two exchanged glances, slightly crouched and waited patiently near the base of the wall.

The laughter inside became even clearer.

"So Master Su likes this kind of game? I really couldn’t see it." The woman’s voice was seductive.

"What, you don’t like it?" The man’s voice was deep.

"I do, this servant loves it." The woman laughed, "But don’t tie it too tight, it will hurt."

"I want you to hurt." The man laughed sinisterly.

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard.

Then, moaning ensued.

Jiang Yuebai: "?"

Chu Liang: "!"

Jiang Yuebai’s eyebrows furrowed, she realized that this was not a simple situation.

Chu Liang’s eyes flickered even more, he really didn’t expect to encounter this situation.

It was too awkward.

It seemed as though the top two prodigious disciples of Shu Mountain sneaked here in the middle of the night to eavesdrop.

Both of them blushed slightly.

Jiang Yuebai, with a look of panic in her eyes, sent a message to Chu Liang: "Should we just rush in?"

Chu Liang signaled her to calm down with his eyes and replied: "Wait a moment, maybe we can catch him in the act."

Jiang Yuebai glared at Chu Liang and sent another message: "How much longer should we wait?"

Chu Liang gradually calmed down and said, "Not much longer, judging by the sounds."

Sure enough, the awkward situation only lasted for a brief period.

The man in the room gave a long sigh and then it fell silent.

After a while, there was a slight movement, and the woman’s voice rose again, "Huh? Master Su, what are you...Ay!"

"He’s acting violently!"

The two immediately realized this and flashed into the room in an instant!

...

The room was a shocking sight with the woman bound and placed on the table, while the man beside her held a sharp weapon, seemingly about to slash her open.

"Stop!" Chu Liang shouted and immediately used the Demon Binding Rope.

The man was indeed the city lord’s son, Su Wei. Startled, he dodged the Demon Binding Rope and attempted to flee through the door!

This fellow had some martial arts cultivation!

Chu Liang quickly caught up and smashed a gold brick against the back of Su Wei’s head. A loud thud rang out.

With an agonizing cry, Su Wei was struck down.

He had some strength but not enough.

The Demon Binding Rope was quickly used to bind him again.

Behind him, Jiang Yuebai had already untied the woman, put on her clothes, and was comforting her.

The two worked efficiently, silently coordinating their efforts and quickly controlling the situation.

However, when Su Wei collapsed, he screamed, immediately drawing the attention of the patrolling cultivators outside the courtyard.

The cultivators who had been in the city lord’s mansion for a long time were somewhat aware of Su Wei’s perverse practices, so some commotion wasn’t unusual. But his scream indicated things were amiss.

Divine Senses were immediately sent to investigate.

The scene inside was indeed abnormal. It was usually Su Wei who tied up others. How did the tables turn today?

Were they facing karmic retribution?

And who were the young man and woman standing there?

"Intruders!"

With the loud shout, several figures immediately rushed over.

Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai each grabbed a person without hiding any longer, directly soaring into the sky on their swords, turning into two sword auras to escape.

Because he was carrying Su Wei, the cultivators pursuing Chu Liang were particularly numerous, even including a Martial Artist of the Sixth Realm with remarkable speed!

"You should take the woman back first." Chu Liang shouted, and then made a turn, throwing off many people with his abrupt change in direction.

But after splitting up with Jiang Yuebai, more and more cultivators were on his tail. His speed was severely affected due to carrying another person, and he could potentially be caught even if he escaped the city.

If he simply killed the man, escaping would be much easier. However, once the matter was exposed, Shu Mountain disciples taking the law into their own hands would severely affect Shu Mountain’s reputation, posing intense pressure from the Imperial Court.

As a result, Chu Liang changed his direction again and headed straight for the Wu’an City Warden Office.

Bang!

The reason for not going to the government office’s entrance was that the local officials were bound to be associated with the City Lord. Also, there were few cultivators, making it less useful.

Kicking open the door of the City Warden Office, he shouted loudly, "Where is the City Warden Official? This man kidnapped and brutally killed women, a multiple offender. He has been captured by me on the spot! I bring him here to be judged!"
