Chapter 322 The Birth of the Cursed Clothes, Reversing Yin and Yang, the Rising Star of the Flower Cage, Spreading His Cursed Name Once Again.
Within the cocoon, there was no sun or moon, only stillness and desolation. Li Xian waited for a long time, but heard no movement. He frowned slightly, then got up and wandered around. The interior of the pavilion was neatly furnished and comfortable to live in. Although it was wrapped in a giant cocoon, it was not cluttered.
Bored, Li Xian began to peruse books. Wen Caishang possessed a vast collection of miscellaneous books, covering a wide range of subjects: the Five Elements, puppetry, strange artifacts, architecture, geomancy, alchemy, astrology, medicine, toxicology, and the Southern Gu poison… most of which were stored in her manor. While these were naturally difficult to find here, she was always erudite and learned, and wherever she went, she would find a way to acquire books and study them.
She had only lived in Bixiang Pavilion for a short time, yet she had already amassed a vast collection of books. The bookshelves were over ten feet high, neatly stacked.
Most of these were books such as the "Classic of Poetry" and "Calligraphy and Painting". Li Xian was a studious person by nature, so he sought out the "Classic of Poetry" to read through, sought out paintings to admire, and spread out calligraphy models to copy.
After a long while, Li Xian still heard no sound and was quite puzzled: "A day is so long? It feels like two or three days have passed for me. Could it be that the martial arts within this cocoon evolve infinitely, making people perceive things more slowly?"
Now that Li Xian had obtained the trump card "Sunset Blood Sword," he no longer worried and believed that everything was up to him. He continued to read, write, paint, practice martial arts, and study the Golden Light Technique. The Golden Light Technique was extremely energy-consuming, so Li Xian never practiced it to exhaustion. When he felt slightly tired, he would switch to practicing "Wind Breath."
His breathing was deep and slow.
[Proficiency +1]
[Wind Breeze]
[Proficiency: 12/3000 Mastery]
[Description: Resting with the wind, life is endless. It can expel fierce winds when advancing, and store up strength when retreating. It can expel external pathogens and strengthen the body internally.]
Xunfeng Breath is merely a basic martial art, but it has a profound connection to the "Nangong Family's Jade-Avoiding True Skill," making it quite mysterious. It has no fixed moves or forms, focusing solely on regulating one's breath. As long as one has breath left, one can circulate the energy; its uses are numerous and varied.
[Art of Magic - Golden Light]
[Proficiency: 3/100]
[Sculpting bone embryo]
[Proficiency: 7/100]
While practicing martial arts, one senses the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing its power. One's realm gradually increases. The essence of heaven and earth permeates the bones, transforming the bone structure. The martial artist's body resembles heaven and earth; the first realm of martial arts is like the initial separation of chaos. In the second realm, the turbid energy sinks, transforming the bone structure, like mountains rising between heaven and earth, becoming even more majestic and imposing.
The essence of heaven and earth within his body consisted of over nine hundred strands, condensed without dissipating or escaping, awaiting digestion. Over the course of several days, thanks to the Yin-Yang Immortal Couple Sword, the external sword combined with the internal sword, and the essence was digested very quickly, making remarkable progress.
Li Xian contemplated the future of martial arts: "Martial arts combat strength is not determined by realm. I obtained the Golden Light Technique, which allows me to contend with martial artists of the third realm. Now, with the Remnant Sun and Decaying Blood Sword reaching the Great Self Realm, my strength has greatly improved. Since I began practicing martial arts and consuming precious treasures, I have never built my own cauldron. I have mostly relied on others or consumed other people's precious treasures."
"I have recently gained some insights into martial arts. For every 100-fold advancement in my realm, I need to digest more than 200 strands of essence. Relying solely on a single Human Yellow Essence Treasure will ultimately limit my progress in martial arts. In the end, I will need to start my own cauldron and simmer the essence meat. Thanks to my consumption of this treasure, my resource requirements are much lower than others."
...
...
In this quiet and secluded place, much time passed. Wen Caishang still hadn't arrived, and Li Xian's thoughts raced. He wondered if Wen Caishang had forced him to gouge out his eyes before releasing him? But then he thought it unlikely. Although Wen Caishang wasn't a gentleman, if she said she'd give him one day, she would only give him one day. She knew Li Xian was cunning; how could she allow him to delay any longer? If he came up with another scheme, trouble would inevitably ensue.
Li Xian's eyes flashed slightly: "Could it be that something else is happening outside, causing Madam Wen to be temporarily delayed and leave me here without time to attend to me?" There is a pond and pastries in the room... I can stay here for a long time without any problems. The cocoon is my cage, so I am not afraid of water or fire and am safe.
Li Xian's mind was quick. He examined his surroundings again; the cocoon-like structure remained as sturdy as ever. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "This cocoon-like structure may seem like a jumble of silk threads, but in reality, everything makes sense. The lady's seal technique seems to subtly correspond to the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams are infinitely profound, containing all things in heaven and earth: Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Xun represents wind, and Zhen represents thunder..."
Having experienced many things, he gradually gained an understanding of the ways of the world. Studying the "Five Elements Miscellaneous Studies" at the Flower Cage Gate, he received guidance from excellent teachers and friends, and had grasped the essentials of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. In this situation, calming his mind, he naturally put these principles to use. Based on his conjecture, he walked around the pavilion, using his double pupils to observe the direction of the silk threads and the traces of the Eight Trigrams.
His eyes shone brightly as he murmured, "Madam's martial arts are profound, and her realm is unfathomable. For me to break her moves is nothing but a pipe dream. However, this encirclement follows the principles of the Eight Trigrams. If I use the Yin-Yang Disruption of the Eight Trigrams, combined with the Golden Light Technique, I might have a chance to escape!"
Li Xian then attempted to unleash the "Sunset Blood Sword," trying to disrupt the yin and yang within the cocoon. This move, the "Eight Absolute Seals," severs heaven, earth, wind, and water... creating an extremely powerful predicament. However, among all things in heaven and earth, there is a principle of mutual restraint. Martial arts are derived from heaven and earth, and naturally, there are martial arts that restrain each other.
The Sunset Blood Sword embodies the principles of Yin and Yang. When used within the cocoon, it generates Yin and Yang, capable of disrupting a trapped situation. However, Li Xian's cultivation level is still shallow, and his martial arts evolution is insufficient. To rely solely on the principles of Yin and Yang within the sword to reverse the Eight Absolute Techniques of the Cocoon is simply impossible.
But it was enough to cause a moment of chaos, slowing down the martial arts evolution contained within the cocoon. With the aid of the "Golden Light Technique" for escape, there was a slim chance of survival. After several attempts, it proved effective; the golden light seeped into the cocoon, penetrating even deeper.
However, Wen Caishang's skills were superb; the Bagua diagram within the cocoon was as solid as iron. Although it was briefly disrupted, it instantly returned to normal, the silk threads tightly interwoven, their connection profound. Li Xian's ingenious plan was indeed effective, but the disparity in strength ultimately proved too great, and he fell short by several points.
Li Xian felt utterly helpless. A surge of ruthlessness welled up in his heart. If they could practice the third level of the sword technique together again in the future, he would surely make Wen Caishang look pathetic and beg for mercy, displaying his true power. He sighed slightly: "This plan is still not feasible. Let me think of some other means to help me escape."
Suddenly, another brilliant idea struck him, and he murmured, "This trick... might work. I'm at my wit's end, so I might as well give it a try. Before that, I'll rest for a while." He tried various methods, but his strength waned. He went to the bathhouse to drink some water and then ate some pastries to fill his stomach.
Li Xian used his longsword to slash at the water. No matter how he slashed or provoked, not a drop of water splashed. This was the "Eight Absolute Seals," a technique that was absolute, severing both heaven and earth, as well as water and fire. The pool, stripped of its water-like properties, naturally lost its flowing characteristics. Li Xian was even more astonished that martial arts could evolve to such a level. His past sword strike that shattered a boat, though spectacular and radiating sharpness, lacked the profound mystery of the "Eight Absolute Seals."
He knelt down to drink water, but the water lost its sweetness, and the pastries lost their flavor. However, his strength returned, and he regained his peak condition. Li Xianxing reached the main gate and unleashed the "Setting Sun and Decaying Blood Sword," disrupting the yin and yang. He executed the sword techniques to the fullest extent, and within the pavilion, it was as if a setting sun was rising, scorching hot.
Within this cage, devoid of heaven, earth, water, and fire... the principles of Yin and Yang emerge.
His sword moved with his will, swiftly unleashed and gently withdrawn. It possessed a unique style. The Sunset Blood Sword was created by the Yin-Yang Immortal Couple, but Li Xian had broken free from their constraints, and his mastery of this technique surpassed even his predecessors.
His swordplay was elegant and unrestrained, brewing a yang energy. It momentarily disrupted the principles of the Eight Trigrams and the cocoon. Li Xian seized the opportunity, narrowed his eyes, and donned the "Divine and Ghostly Robe."
Suddenly, the yin energy surged, and the ghostly aura thickened. It was as if the underworld had descended upon the world, its malevolence indescribable. Li Xian, clad in menacing clothes and shrouded in black mist, was shrouded in mystery and unpredictable. Within the cocoon, a frenzy of ten thousand ghosts erupted, and the gates of hell opened wide in a bizarre spectacle.
Flowers wither, pastries rot, and clear water turns to dust...
The cocoon shuddered violently, as if struck by a great blow. Li Xian then used the "Golden Light Technique," instantly bursting out of the cocoon. Golden light gathered, and Li Xian was already outside the cocoon, the eerie and malevolent clothes dissipating.
It turns out… while the Eight Absolute Seals are incredibly powerful, they are in danger of collapsing instantly upon contact with the "Divine and Ghostly Robe"! The Divine and Ghostly Robe is a garment beyond the world, not belonging to the Five Elements, not entering the Eight Trigrams, not involving Yin and Yang, and outside the principles of the world. This garment is mysterious and unpredictable; once it appears, it disrupts the Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the Five Elements within the body… causing darkness, reversed water flow, and mountains to collapse…
It precisely counters the Eight Absolute Seals. If Wen Caishang were to use her binding technique to tie Li Xian to the ground, making it difficult for him to move his hands and feet, even if Li Xian used his "Divine Ghost Robe," he would have no hope of escape. Unfortunately, the Eight Absolute Seals involve the Eight Trigrams.
Seeing the giant cocoon behind him, Li Xian was secretly astonished: "It's hard to imagine that such a giant cocoon could form in such a short time. Madam has truly treated me well. Although I have escaped the giant cocoon, I still need to be extremely careful. If I were to encounter Madam, it would be extremely troublesome." He immediately fled and saw the light of day again. A gentle breeze was blowing and the sun was shining brightly. He felt extremely fortunate.
Recently, Li Xian has been secluded in Bixiang Pavilion, observing the layout of the flowers and plants. He has already figured out an escape route and has a real chance to escape. He sneaked into a flower bush and moved close to the ground. Suddenly, he saw several workers sweeping snow in the corridor in the distance.
Li Xian crept closer quietly, thinking, "If the lady is in the pavilion, any attempt to escape will be futile. If she is not, I should disguise myself as a waiter and slip out of the pavilion. This will save me from having to force my way through the formation."
He then unleashed the "Wind Breath," exhaling with the force of a demonic gust, whipping up and swirling the snow from the ground, rooftops, and treetops. The blizzard swept across the sky, obscuring visibility, and the workers were blown about, staggered and thrown about. Xiao Tuan, being small, was especially frightened and lay prone on the ground. Li Xian quietly knocked one of the workers unconscious, quickly changed his clothes, disheveled his long hair to conceal his face, and then carefully folded his brocade robe, hair ornaments, and other clothing and accessories.
He looked around and saw a bamboo basket filled with snow. It was big enough for one person, so he hid the servant, his clothes and accessories inside, sprinkled snow on top, and concealed them perfectly. When the snow settled, the servants saw the ground covered in snow, all their morning's work was wasted, and they were only adding to their fatigue. They cursed and swore at the thief.
Li Xian gave an awkward smile and bent down to sweep the snow. Xiao Tuan stood on the high platform, patrolling and occasionally shouting, "Get to work quickly! Anyone who slacks off will get a big slap across the face. And... I've warned you a thousand times. Anyone who dares to wander off and get lost in the yard, I won't look for them. Let them starve and die of thirst."
He then muttered to himself, "Sigh, I'm starving and thirsty, and I still have to clean up. My wife will definitely scold me. Oh well, I'll just have to look for it."
Half an incense stick later, the snow was swept away. Xiao Tuan was very satisfied, paid the fee, and led the way out of the pavilion. Passing by a side pavilion, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea. He said, "Come with me, there is another place that needs you to clean up."
She opened the side chamber and lit the candles. Inside were wooden boxes of various sizes, containing numerous miscellaneous items and collectibles. It turned out that when the lady arrived in Flying Dragon City, she would occasionally visit the auction houses in secret, and on a whim, she would purchase items for her collection, some of which were placed here.
Xiao Tuan pointed to the wooden box in the west corner and had the workers carry it out of the storage room to dry the wine.
Large and small boxes were carried out one by one. Li Xian smelled the herbs and knew they were medicinal herbs. He was very familiar with several of them. When he was the commander of Yihe Manor, he often dealt with herbs. Suddenly, he thought, "This is the lady's storage room. If I can find the Jade Silkworm Rope, I might be able to use it in the future..." As he moved the boxes of herbs, he secretly examined them. Sure enough, he saw the Jade Silkworm Rope stored in the room, hidden in a "Jadeite Box".
Wen Caishang practiced the Silkworm Jade Inlay Technique, gaining both its advantages and disadvantages. While her abilities were formidable, the practice was difficult. The Azure Silkworm Rope was crucial for cultivation and needed to be prepared constantly. It could be found on Xiao Tuan's person, in her storage room, and in her bedroom... its discovery here was no coincidence.
Li Xian knew Wen Caishang's habits well, and finding her wouldn't be difficult if he was determined. He quietly approached, waiting for the right moment to steal the Jade Silk Rope. He hid it in his sleeve, pretending nothing had happened. Xiao Tuan didn't notice either. After everyone finished their tasks, she led the way out of the pavilion. Li Xian slipped into the crowd and escaped successfully, leaving the Jade Fragrance Pavilion. Hearing the bustling sounds of the marketplace, he felt reborn, overjoyed yet with mixed feelings.
Li Xian thought to himself, "I was unexpectedly fortunate to escape from the pavilion. Madam must not be in the pavilion, otherwise I would have been killed. But I wonder why Madam has been gone for so long. Well, now that I have escaped, I should leave immediately. I will avenge today's siege when I am stronger." He followed the men for another half mile, then took the opportunity to turn into a dark alley. He put the bamboo winnowing basket on the ground, swept away the snow, took out the man, used his qi to wake him up, and then disappeared.
The waiter slowly awoke, feeling a cold wind on his body. Startled, he became fully awake and realized he was lying naked. His clothes were beside him, and he quickly dressed, trying to recall what had just happened, but to no avail. He assumed he was possessed by an evil spirit and dared not make a sound, so he hurriedly dressed and left.
On the other hand...
Li Xian stealthily approached the city gate, only to find it tightly shut and guarded by soldiers. The archers on the city walls had sharp, piercing eyes that scanned the city's inhabitants. Li Xian found a steamed bun shop and, while buying some buns, asked, "Waiter, when will the city gates open?"
The steamed bun vendor said, "How would I know? Alas, with the city gates closed, my business has suffered."
Li Xian asked, "Why is it sealed off? Are the other city gates open?" The steamed bun vendor replied, "I vaguely heard something about it; they say they're closing the gates to catch thieves. This is no small matter; they're serious. All the passages in and out are sealed off. But as for the specifics... how dare I, an ordinary citizen, inquire? If they think I'm an accomplice of the thieves, wouldn't that be terrible?"
Li Xian paid with copper coins and took a bite of the warm bun. He followed the crowd, keeping a low profile, and peered out to check the city gate's defenses. The city gate was about nine zhang high, built of black stone, and was extremely sturdy. Outside the city wall was an outer barbican; if one were to force their way through, they would inevitably be attacked from all sides.
The soldiers stood ready in formation, all strong and imposing, extraordinary in their own right. They formed a formidable array, an impenetrable wall of soldiers. Among them were several exceptional warriors, their imposing presence even stronger, heads held high and chests puffed out, their voices booming like thunder – at least possessing the "thunderous chest-thumping voice." The rest were countless archers, swordsmen, shield bearers…
Li Xian thought to himself, "If I force my way through the gate, the formation is too overwhelming. Even if I escape the city gate, I will be relentlessly pursued." He stared intently for a moment and saw an old man standing on the city wall. He had a full head of white hair, long arms and a thin body, and looked like an old sword.
The old man suddenly turned his head and looked over. Li Xian dodged and hid, quietly avoiding him. After a moment, hearing no sound, he immediately fled through the alley. The old man was named "Xiao Wanjian," the "Sword-Forging Elder" of the Yangshan Sword Sect, and the leader of the Yangshan Sword Sect's expedition.
Li Xian thought to himself, "This old man is quite strong; I can't defeat him by force. Just standing here, he's already as sharp as a sword. If I'm not mistaken, he must be a master of the sword sect. How strange! How bizarre! How long have I been trapped here, and the situation in the city has changed so drastically?"
Li Xianxing had traveled a short distance when he suddenly saw a group of swordsmen approaching. They were all dressed similarly and carried large swords on their backs. The leader was a man in his thirties with neat short hair and rough skin. His name was Jiang Meng, a disciple of the Yangshan Sword Sect.
Jiang Meng brushed past Li Xian without noticing, but when he looked back from a distance, his brows furrowed. He could no longer find Li Xian, so he suppressed his doubts and went up to the city wall to meet up with Xiao Wanjian.
Xiao Wanjian asked, "Is there anything unusual in the city?" Jiang Meng replied, "Nothing unusual for now, but..." Xiao Wanjian said, "Speak of it."
Jiang Meng said, "My disciple has the [Crystal Clear Sword Heart Appearance], which makes his senses quite sharp. Just now, I brushed past an ordinary person, but my heart was pounding, as if I were being strangled. I suspect that this person is quite capable. If he is so capable, why would he disguise himself as an ordinary person? Therefore, I have some doubts."
Xiao Wanjian frowned and said, "Since you have suspicions, why not go after them?" Jiang Meng said, "I only have suspicions, but no evidence. This person may be hiding something, but he may not really be a villain. If I go after him, wouldn't that be offensive?"
Xiao Wanjian cursed, "You scoundrel! In times of crisis, how can you care about other people's feelings? This thief is definitely suspicious. I noticed his gaze just now, but I couldn't find him. He must have been hiding in the crowd and quietly slipped away, only to be encountered by you."
"This person has exceptional eyesight, a deep mind, and acts with utmost discretion. If it weren't for your insightful swordsmanship and silent escape, I might have thought it was just an illusion. Where did you meet him?"
Jiang Meng said, "Is he on Wenjing Street? Should I go after him immediately, my disciple?" Xiao Wanjian said, "You guard the city gate and don't let any villains take advantage of the situation. I will go after him myself."
Seeing him place his hands behind his back and use his light-footed skill to dodge through the air with incredible speed, he quickly arrived at Wenjing Street. This street was seven li long, containing hundreds of alleys, with rows of tall buildings and a densely packed crowd. Hidden here, how could he be found?
Xiao Wanjian scanned the area intently but found no suspicious thief. He felt a pang of regret; they had missed their chance by a hair's breadth and had no choice but to give up. Meanwhile, Li Xian left the city gate and went to check other gates, but all were heavily guarded, with martial arts masters stationed there.
Li Xian felt hopeless about escaping, and thought, "If I hide like this, Madam will find a way to look for me again once she gets away. This Flying Dragon City is indeed in complete chaos. My most urgent task is to retrieve the Sunken River Sword, since I have nowhere else to go."
He found the inn where he was staying and returned to his bedroom. He found that his bag and clothes were all intact. The Chenjiang Sword was placed on the bedside table, covered in dust. Li Xian drew the sword from its sheath; its edge was still sharp, though the blade had minor scratches, which did not diminish its sharpness.
Li Xian said, "Old friend, we meet again!" He placed the Chenjiang Sword at his waist. Then he drew the "Qing Sword." In terms of pure quality, this sword was inferior to the Chenjiang Sword. It was sharp and tough, but lacked the water-handling properties. However, it was as good as new, with a smooth and shiny blade, without the slightest damage.
Both swords were useful and were worn at the waist. Li Xian pondered again: "The most urgent task is to find out the situation first, and then decide on the next step. But Flying Dragon City is under lockdown, and if I rashly inquire, it will definitely attract attention."
Pacing back and forth in thought, Li Xian, though temporarily freed from Wen Caishang by the Golden Light Technique, was even more confused about the situation in the city. Suddenly, Li Xian thought, "If I use Zhou Ping'an's identity to meet Gu Nianjun and ask her about the situation, I can find out everything."
He immediately donned a white mask and carried a red bow on his back. Not wanting to attract attention, he searched for the Green Bamboo Residence under the cover of night. Inside, a dim light illuminated the room. Li Xian quietly crept closer and saw Zhou Shijie in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Xian thought to himself, "This talented young master Zhou is no less of a womanizer than I am. I have nothing to say to him, but speaking of this Jiang-sinking sword, it does have a connection with him."
He bypassed Zhou Shijie and went to the villa to search. The bamboo in the courtyard was lush and green, but it had been neglected lately, and piles of snow had weighed down and broken several branches. Li Xian and Wen Caishang were enjoying a blissful life, oblivious to worldly affairs and unaware of the changes.
Li Xian found Gu Nianjun's bedroom. The room was filled with a pleasant fragrance, and the desk was decorated with paintings, calligraphy, and other items. His paintings were quite elegant, and his calligraphy was graceful and skillful. He was erudite and well-mannered.
Li Xian frowned slightly, noticing a bit of dust on the painting. The bedroom had been unoccupied for several days. He then began searching for clues. He found a change of clothes, leather boots, stockings, handkerchiefs, personal accessories, a jade belt, a sachet, and other miscellaneous items.
Among them were quite a few personal items, which were not suitable for peeking at. Li Xian disregarded this, carefully examining them all, and said thoughtfully:
"These clothes are intact, which shows that Gu Nianjun had no intention of leaving. Why hasn't she returned home for several days? That's very strange. Gu Nianjun is very strong and quick-witted. She can handle ordinary troubles herself. There must be a reason why she hasn't returned for so long."
He carefully examined the belongings left behind by Gu Nianjun. There were no clues about clothing or other items, so he focused on several pairs of boots. There were three pairs in total, all made of different materials. Two pairs were used for hunting and walking, and one pair was used for socializing.
The boots worn for making friends were exquisitely crafted, with embroidered patterns that seemed to have been created naturally. The other two pairs were made of superior materials, not for the average person. They were worn frequently, and had a slight sweaty smell mixed with body odor. Li Xian noticed the mud stains on the soles of the boots.
Chen Ning said, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be easy to get muddy when walking in the snow. But there are mud stains on the soles of my boots here. And..."
“It is some kind of gold mud. I heard from the lady that in certain places with unique feng shui, the soil is also different. This gold mud is formed by the natural catalysis of heaven and earth due to its excellent feng shui. Wherever this mud is seen, there is bound to be a tomb nearby.”
Li Xian was even more confused. Suddenly, he heard a noise in the front courtyard and quietly slipped away. He saw Wang Dezhong, Yang Wentian, and several other young men approaching and saying to Zhou Shijie, "Brother Zhou, don't worry too much. Miss Gu is surely lucky and will be alright."
Zhou Shijie said gratefully, "Brothers, you took time out of your busy schedules to comfort me. I am deeply grateful. Alas, you are the same. Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Zhou of the Jiushan Sword Sect, and even Elder Yun, have all... disappeared without a trace."
Wang Dezhong gritted his teeth and said, "Shameful villains! If any of my sword sect's senior and junior sisters suffer even the slightest loss, we will make them pay for their blood debt!"
Yang Wentian said, "That villain is truly audacious. Not only have the senior sisters and elders of the Jiushan Sword Sect disappeared, but the female elders of the Lishan Sword Sect, Hushan Sword Sect, Yueshan Sword Sect, and Yangshan Sword Sect have also vanished without a trace. It is truly strange and bizarre."
Upon hearing this, Li Xian muttered, "Who is so bold and powerful? Good heavens, they wiped out all five major sword sects in one fell swoop. The five major sword sects were at the height of their alliance, and now all their women have been captured. Isn't that a huge loss of face?"
Listen to the conversation between the three people.
Yang Wentian said, "Lord He is a man of great principle. In order to help the five factions find the thief, he ordered the city to be sealed off and sent city soldiers to assist. I heard that it has been effective. A petty thief from the Flower Cage Sect has been captured and interrogated severely, and some clues have been found."
Wang Dezhong said, "Yes, that little thief revealed the list of names in Flower Cage Sect City, which shocked us into realizing that there were quite a few Flower Cage thieves hiding in the city! However, the thief we suspect is not an elder like Ye Cheng, but a rising star of Flower Cage Sect..."
Zhou Shijie asked, "What is that thief's name? I will tear him to pieces!" He drew his sword, his murderous aura blazing.
Yang Wentian said, "This thief has certainly chosen a flamboyant name; his surname is Hua and his given name is quite fitting."
"Hua Wucuo, the rising star of the Flower Cage Sect!"
