Chapter 260 Underground
Yu Tiezhu slapped down, but whether it was due to his failing eyesight or old age, he missed Yu Zhiyi's head.
He was clearly more aggressive with the second slap, hitting it with perfect accuracy and moving with lightning speed, giving the opponent no chance to dodge.
Just as a slap was about to land on Yu Zhiyi's head, it suddenly stopped less than a foot away from her.
Li Changhuai felt as if he was seeing things; he actually saw an invisible ripple flash above Yu Zhiyi's head.
Then, Yu Tiezhu was sent flying backwards.
He flew fast and hard, crashing heavily into a pillar in the hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Li Changhuai seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
He stared in astonishment at the person slowly sliding down, then looked at Yu Zhiyi, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The other bodyguards of the Immortal Cave reacted and swarmed forward, unleashing a barrage of swords, spears, and halberds at Yu Zhiyi and her companion. Li Changhuai, ignoring his surprise, exclaimed "Damn it!" and tried to pull Yu Zhiyi into the air to dodge the attacks.
I pulled, but it wouldn't budge.
Instead, she pulled him behind her again.
Immediately afterwards, Li Changhuai witnessed another miraculous scene.
Yu Zhiyi leaped up and took the initiative to enter the palace.
Before the weapons even reached her, she gently twisted them by grasping the hands of their owners.
Amidst the chaos of war, Li Changhuai still heard the sounds of bones breaking, accompanied by the clanging of weapons hitting the ground.
Immediately following were the sounds of bodies hitting the ground.
Yu Zhiyi was agile and her movements were elegant; she didn't seem to be fighting at all, but rather dancing.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of bodyguards were all smashed to the ground, groaning and unable to get up.
Li Changhuai was completely numb.
What kind of monster is this?
The young master of Tianyu Manor, who started learning martial arts at the age of three, has been practicing for over twenty years and is considered a leader in the martial arts world, has no choice but to surrender obediently to these guys in the Immortal Cave.
Unexpectedly, this woman whom he looked down upon easily destroyed the immortal's cave.
He was somewhat frustrated, and his gaze towards Yu Zhiyi was filled with complex emotions.
Sensing his existential unease, Yu Zhiyi turned to look at him and smiled slightly: "My Tianji Sect not only knows some esoteric arts, but also has some knowledge of ordinary martial arts."
Otherwise, what does she do during her morning classes every day? It can't be that she's having heart-to-heart talks with the patriarch, can it?
Li Changhuai: "...Know...a little bit?"
His voice sounded as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.
If this is considered "somewhat knowledgeable," then what is he? A martial arts idiot? A martial arts waste?!
Young Master Li indicated that he did not want to speak.
Yu Zhiyi ignored this person who was questioning his existence. If it weren't for the fact that he had tried to protect her time and time again, she wouldn't have bothered to waste her breath on him.
She took out a talisman and threw it towards the roof.
The paper, which seemed so light and seemingly weightless, pierced through the roof in an instant and then burst into brilliant fireworks in the dark night.
Li Changhuai: "?"
Before he could ask anything, he heard the sound of clothes rustling as they approached.
Before long, the Jiang family father and son, along with the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, each led a group of men and rushed in.
Yu Zhiyi informed them, "These are all villains involved in human trafficking. There is a dry well in the backyard, and the women they threw into it are all inside."
"There are also hundreds of women in this fairy cave, all of whom are innocent girls they swindled and kidnapped from various places, and among them are..."
She pursed her lips, not revealing her identity as a "daughter of an official," but instead instructed the guards to place all the women in a room, and that she would send them home after she had inspected them.
He paused, then added, "As for those clients, arrest them all first."
It was a busy night.
In the pitch-black mountains, flames soared into the sky, but they were not dangerous wildfires; rather, they were the glow of dozens of torches gathered together.
After settling all the women in the Immortal's Cave and imprisoning the patrons, Yu Zhiyi left only half of her men to guard them, while the rest went to the dry well in the backyard to retrieve the corpses.
Logically, this kind of work of carrying corpses should be carried out when the sun is at its strongest at noon, but with Yu Zhiyi here, there is no need to worry even though it is already the middle of the night.
Standing in front of the dry well, everyone felt that the temperature in the vicinity was much lower than in other places.
Although the temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, they are all martial arts practitioners, and they can withstand the low temperatures in the mountains.
However, the low temperature by the well made many people shiver.
Yu Zhiyi took out some incense and candles, lit them, and burned some paper money. She said to the dry well, "We've come to send you home. Go in peace. Bad people will be punished as they deserve."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the incense stick quickly burned out, turning into a handful of ash.
Whether it was a misperception or not, everyone felt a gust of wind blow by, and the surroundings were no longer cold.
Yu Zhiyi then said, "Alright, you can go now."
The guards were still somewhat apprehensive, after all, moving corpses in the middle of the night was no easy task.
Seeing how incompetent his subordinates were, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an's face darkened: "I'll do it."
As he spoke, ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him, he tied a rope around his waist and prepared to jump into the well.
Jiang Liuyun also stepped forward: "I'm afraid the young master can't handle it all by himself, so I'll come and help."
He was happy to be able to help his sister.
As for whether it was unlucky or not, he hadn't thought about it.
Anyway, his sister is a master of metaphysics, how could she possibly cause him any trouble?
Yu Zhiyi did not object.
Bringing out and burying these women who died tragically in foreign lands would accumulate a lot of merit. She wouldn't say it outright, but if someone wanted to earn this merit, she naturally wouldn't object.
Jiang Yuchuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll help too."
Li Changhuai: "..."
He recognized the two men as the Second Master and Young Master of the Martial Arts Alliance. Their status in the martial arts world was much higher than his. They were willing to move the corpse. If he just stood there, wouldn't that be inappropriate?
After hesitating for a while, Young Master Li also said he would come to help.
Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised, but still did not object.
Seeing so many important figures stepping forward, the remaining guards and soldiers felt somewhat embarrassed and could only say that they were willing to go down into the well as well.
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "Those few are enough. You have other things to do later."
Before long, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an carried up the first female corpse.
It was already very cold outside, and the temperature in the mountains was much lower than outside, so the woman's body did not smell bad and had not yet begun to decompose.
Next was Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Yuchuan.
Li Changhuai.
Several men carried up more than twenty fresh corpses in succession; the corpses below were not so good-looking.
Everyone felt heavy-hearted.
This indicates that during the period when the weather turned cold, more than twenty women died in the Fairy Cave.
