Chapter 258 - 258 257 Visitor from Miao Territory Third Midnight Release

258: Chapter 257: Visitor from Miao Territory [Third Midnight Release] 258: Chapter 257: Visitor from Miao Territory [Third Midnight Release] “You two, you have to buy tickets before getting on the bus!”

At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a coarse voice shouted at Li Chen.

Li Chen was startled and instinctively reached into his pocket.

However, he only pulled out a bank card.

“Can I use my card?”

The bus conductor looked at the bank card in Li Chen’s hand and suddenly burst into loud laughter.

“Kid, are you kidding me?

When have you ever seen a bus where you could pay with a bank card?”

“Let me do it!”

Zhao Yuqing, seeing the uppercase embarrassment on Li Chen’s face, hurriedly pulled out her wallet and handed over two bright red banknotes.

Seeing this, Du Feng and the others were completely stunned.

Ignoring the perfectly good BMW they had, they chose to squeeze onto a public bus instead.

And not only did they squeeze onto the bus, they even had to dip into their own pockets to pay for it.

What on earth is going on with the world, to be this crazy?

Just then, three sneaky figures watched Zhao Yuqing for quite a while.

“Do you see, is that her?”

“She looks very much like her.

There’s a stranger beside her, what should we do?”

“What else can we do?

Anyone who dares to hinder the affairs of the Yin Ghost Sect is to be killed without mercy!”

“Zhao Ding, you stay behind to inform Elder Du.

Zhao Kui, the two of us will get on the bus, and once the bus reaches the outskirts, we’ll find our opportunity to act!”

…

As soon as they got on the bus, Li Chen and Zhao Yuqing had just settled in their seats when they saw two figures following closely behind them.

After taking an inconspicuous glance at Zhao Yuqing, they sat down on both sides next to Li Chen.

They emanated a malevolent aura, clearly from the Miao Territory folks.

Thinking of the Miao Territory immediately suggested the dark forces behind this.

It was either the Yin Ghost Sect, the Miao Territory Witch Family, or a combination of both.

All of Zhao Yuqing’s attention was on Li Chen, completely unaware of the imminent danger.

Even if she had been aware, she wouldn’t have been afraid.

With Li Chen by her side, what was there to fear?

Since getting on the bus, Li Chen had been pretending to rest with his eyes closed.

Zhao Yuqing had a lot to say but was too excited to know where to start.

Moreover, she didn’t want to disturb Li Chen’s sleep, and just gazed at his sharply contoured profile without blinking, her eyes shimmering with moisture.

Having an artistic background and having seen countless pieces of art, none were as flawless as Li Chen’s profile.

After the bus left the city, Li Chen suddenly grasped Zhao Yuqing’s hand, startling her.

Li Chen looked at Zhao Yuqing and said in a concise manner, “We’ve arrived, let’s get off!”

Although filled with confusion, Zhao Yuqing still nodded like a pecking chicken, and let Li Chen lead her by the hand toward the bus door.

“Driver, please stop at the intersection ahead!”

The two disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect, upon seeing Li Chen and Zhao Yuqing suddenly getting off the bus, couldn’t help but feel perplexed.

However, after looking around and seeing that they were in the wilderness, with neither village ahead nor shop behind, a thrill of joy sprang up in their hearts.

Originally, they were worried about taking action on the bus and attracting police attention, which would be detrimental to their mission and they were at a loss for what to do.

But they never expected their targets to get off the bus voluntarily in such a desolate place.

It was as if someone had sent them a pillow as they dozed off.

However, they would soon understand a principle: it’s not only a pillow that’s offered when one dozes off, but sometimes also a knife.

They exchanged glances and then also got out of the car.

Just after taking a few steps, Zhao Yuqing suddenly sensed someone following them, and her heart skipped a beat.

She was about to warn Li Chen when she heard him whisper, “Don’t talk, and don’t look back.

Just follow me!”

Zhao Yuqing nodded lightly and gripped Li Chen’s hand tightly, walking towards the depths of the mountains.

After they had walked two to three miles, two Yin Ghost Sect disciples realized something was amiss.

“Zhao Jia, something doesn’t seem right.

Why are they heading into the mountains?”

“I heard that girls from the city give in quickly and like thrills.

They wouldn’t be…”

The man called Zhao Jia said this with a lecherous smile on his face.

“A beauty like her, if our brothers could have some fun, I’d die happy!”

“Cut it out, stop fantasizing.

Hurry up and follow them, if we screw up the Sect Master’s big plan, he’ll skin us alive.”

After another four to five hundred meters, the two Yin Ghost Sect disciples were shocked to find that they had lost their targets.

“Where are they?

Search quickly, we can’t let them get away!”

“They were just ahead, they can’t have gone far, split up and search!”

However, before they could split up, they suddenly heard an explosive voice like thunder behind them.

“Don’t bother searching, we’re right here!”

The two Yin Ghost Sect disciples were startled by the turn of events and exchanged looks.

They drew their sharp blades and from left and right, like a pair of mad dogs, lunged at Li Chen.

“Hmph, overestimating yourselves!”

Li Chen scoffed with disdain, flicked his sleeve, and sent both of them flying.

The two Yin Ghost Sect disciples, realizing Li Chen was an Inner Strength Martial Artist, felt a surge of terror.

But, as soon as they remembered their own identities, their confidence quickly swelled.

“Sir, we are disciples of the Miao Territory Ghost Sect.

If you don’t want to die, leave the girl and scram!”

Li Chen saw that these two mere disciples who had only achieved small success in Inner Strength dared to threaten him and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Heh, do you even know how to spell ‘death’?”

The two Yin Ghost Sect disciples glared dumbly at one another.

One of them pointed at Li Chen’s nose and bellowed, “Boy, don’t get cocky.

Elder Du of the Yin Ghost Sect will arrive soon.

Once he gets here, I’ll make you beg for life and death!”

“Do you believe that right now, I can make you beg for life and death?”

Before his words fell to the ground, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly turned icy, shooting out two flames.

Before the two Yin Ghost Sect disciples could react, their bodies were already engulfed in flames, howling in pain, rolling on the ground, screaming to the heavens.

Although Zhao Yuqing had previously seen Li Chen burn Wui Shaotian, she was still somewhat frightened seeing it again.

Li Chen felt Zhao Yuqing’s delicate body trembling, so he took her hand in his.

“If you’re scared, just close your eyes!”

Zhao Yuqing nodded vigorously.

She didn’t close her eyes, but her body stopped shaking.

In no time, these two unlucky souls were burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind.

Zhao Yuqing endured the pungent smell and asked Li Chen, “Where are we going now?”

Li Chen looked around and pointed ahead, “The scenery over there is pretty nice, let’s wait there!”

Zhao Yuqing followed the direction pointed by Li Chen and showed a smile of dependence.

“Mhm, okay, I’ll listen to you!”
