Chapter 35: Brother, is there a ghost?

At night, the palace of the Demon Sect leader.

In Tan Tai Lie's bedroom, he sat on the soft couch on the side, listening to Shan Ying's report while habitually tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

"That's all the information we've gathered..." Shanying paused, stole a glance at Tan Tai Lie's face, and asked tentatively, "Master, should we continue the pursuit?"

Hearing this, a wicked and cunning smile appeared on the corner of Tan Tai Lie's mouth. He ordered Shan Ying, "Call our people back. This time, I want them to come back willingly."

Originally, he planned to send people out to capture Tang Xiaoyun, but since he issued the bounty, people from all walks of life joined in the capture of Tang Xiaoyun.

The more people who arrest him, the better. This way, after Tang Xiaoyun has experienced the beatings of society, he will realize that the Demonic Sect is his home where he can settle down.

"Yes, I will go and call back the disciples who are out." Shanying said and was about to go out.

"By the way, I need to go into seclusion to cultivate for a while. If you don't have anything important to do, you can go to the young master."

"yes!"

After Shanying left, Tan Tai Lie walked into the inner hall, took off the robe with totem prints on it, and put on his usual black robe.

With a wave of his wide sleeves, his silver hair instantly turned black and his appearance also changed.

Compared with her previous cold and beautiful face, there was a hint of firmness in it.

After doing all this, he opened the window, jumped out, and disappeared under the watery moonlight.

His body was as agile as a night owl, and after a few rises and falls, he disappeared into the shadow of the house.

Only the breeze blew through the window lattice, making a slight creaking sound, as if the figure that just flashed by was just an unknown phantom in the night.

On the other side, the Shushan Tang Sect.

After hearing the news brought back by Tang Qianji, Tang Shouyi got very angry.

"Asshole! He didn't do what I told him to do, and now he dares to run away! Go, gather the men immediately, capture him and send him back to the Heavenly Demon Cult!"

"Yes, father!"

Tang Qianji answered and turned to go out. When he stepped over the threshold, he paused and thought to himself: Brother, why are you doing this?

In addition to the Tang Clan wanting to capture Tang Xiaoyun, people from the Quanzhen Sect are also trying to capture him.

Back when they were at Jiuyaotai, Tan Tai Lie killed Cang Yan, the leader of Quanzhen Sect. Now the new leader of Quanzhen Sect is Cang Yan's junior fellow apprentice, Lao Ai.

They saw clearly at Jiuyaotai that day that Tan Tai Lie seemed to value the male concubine very much, so they wanted to capture Tang Xiaoyun and force Tan Tai Lie to commit suicide to apologize.

Therefore, Tang Xiaoyun is now in danger everywhere, and if he is not careful, his bones will be crushed.

At this time, he was on the pirate ship of the Jianglang Society. After Xiong Biao teased him, he went to drink and eat roasted lamb with his brothers.

Although the sackcloth bag on Tang Xiaoyun's head was removed, his hands were still tied to the pillar, so it was not easy to escape.

[System, how many people want to arrest me now? ]

He is not stupid. From the previous Demonic Cult to the two beggars, and now to the Jianglang Society, he has encountered three groups of people. There is no guarantee that there will not be people joining in the future.

After listening to the system and searching for a while, the system said, "In addition to the three known parties, there are also people from the Quanzhen Sect who are looking for you."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun was stunned: [What does the Quanzhen Sect have to do with this? ]

The system explained: [During the Jiuyaotai Sect Competition, Tantai Lie killed Cangyan, and the Quanzhen Sect is holding this grudge against you.]

[No, they are sick, right? I didn't kill them.]

But it's too late to say anything now.

He had to find a way to escape quickly; he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

He looked around and saw that apart from the people from the Jianglang Society, the entire ship was filled with the money they had robbed.

To deal with robbers, of course you have to stab them in the heart.

His eyes rolled, a plan came to mind, and he said to the system: "Sixth Brother, please help me. Go to the warehouse and set it on fire to attract their sleeves."

As soon as the warehouse caught fire, Xiong Biao and his men would rush in to rescue the finances, and then he would have a chance to escape.

However--

Ding!

[Detected that the host needs help, each help will earn 12 points.]

The system's emotionless voice came over.

Tang Xiaoyun was inexplicably agitated: [No, you want points for doing a favor?]

[Host, we have a management system and cannot help you for free. ]

Tang Xiaoyun was speechless for a moment, and angrily scolded: "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you to tell my fortune?"

The system chuckled and said, "Because you didn't trigger the keyword at that time, it doesn't count as help."

Tang Xiaoyun was stunned. Why did he come up with a keyword?

What are the keywords?

[Help me, didn’t you just say that? ]

Hearing the system's self-evident answer, Tang Xiaoyun really wanted to crush this jerk.

I could only sigh and change the subject: "Then I don't need your 'help', I'll just 'let' you go to the Executive Office."

However, the system still refused: [No, the backend has already recorded your previous statement and cannot be changed.]

[So I have to pay 12 points before you go?]

[That’s right.]

Tang Xiaoyun screamed inwardly, "Fuck you! I've finally figured it out. You're not only a swindler but also a stingy person. I've fallen into your hands. Twelve is twelve, hurry up."

However, the system remained silent for a few seconds, then said faintly: [Host, your points balance is currently zero.]

Tang Xiaoyun was dumbfounded. How could he forget that he had used the remaining points to exchange for maps?

Now he is penniless.

【Then tell me how to earn points! 】

The system paused and reminded: [You are tied up now. Wait, let me see...]

The system began to slide on the control panel and locked onto a target in the bottom column.

Found it!

Tang Xiaoyun quickly asked: [Please release the confirmation quickly.]

[Okay!]

Ding!

[One Hundred Thousand Cold Jokes Mission Successfully Launched!]

"Cold jokes are good, sneers... No, what did you release?" He asked loudly.

Xiong Biao and the others who were eating meat and drinking were all startled when they heard Tang Xiaoyun speak, and they all turned to look at him.

[It's a cold joke. As long as you can make them laugh, you can get points.]

"No, if I suddenly tell a bad joke, people will think I'm crazy."

【What are you afraid of? You are already one.】

"you…!"

The little brother with the shoe-horn face twitched his mouth, stretched out his finger to poke Xiong Biao, and asked: "Brother, who is he talking to?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously looked around. Apart from them, there was no one around Tang Xiaoyun.

So he was talking to himself there, was he crazy?

Just after the shoe-horn-faced little brother asked the question, an oil lamp in the corner of the cabin suddenly went out, and a wisp of green smoke rose straight up, twisting and swirling in the darkness.

Everyone shuddered subconsciously and looked around in horror.

The little brother with the shoe-horn face was immediately frightened and trembled and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, is there a ghost?"
