“…”
Chu Xiuping thought he had a sure win, but he never expected that the opponent was actually an individual cultivator, who actually broke out of the encirclement in the simplest and most brutal way.
Anyway, when he rushed out of the hall, he saw several puppets that had been beaten to pieces, and the person who had been eavesdropping outside the hall had disappeared...
"Master, this is for you."
A human puppet came up and handed over a tattered piece of clothing. "I tore this off that person's clothes."
"Um?"
Looking at the tattered, blackened rag in front of him, Chu Xiuping showed a look of disgust.
Letting him, who is a germaphobe, touch such dirty things is more painful than killing him.
But considering that the most urgent thing was to find the person who had eavesdropped just now, Chu Xiuping still stretched out two slender fingers, pinched a corner of the rag, brought it in front of him, and looked at it carefully.
This is a piece of coarse linen with a brown base color. It has only started to turn black because it has not been washed for many years and is too dirty. It is so dirty that he can even clearly smell the oil on it.
"vomit--"
Chu Xiuping summoned his demonic energy to suppress the retching that was about to occur. His eyes flickered. "My Puppet Sect never mistreats its members. The fabrics of ordinary disciples' clothes aren't that bad. This expert is wearing such tattered clothes. Could he be a guest official under one of the elders?"
Since you're a guest...
The person who was eavesdropping was at least a physical cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. Such good puppet materials could not be lost. After all, puppets made by physical cultivators were much stronger than ordinary puppets!
Chu Xiuping clutched the rag in his hand, suppressing his nausea and not throwing it away, but instead putting it away.
"Based on this evidence alone, the Japanese leader will definitely recognize you tomorrow!"
——
The other side.
Jiang Deng didn't bother to look for his aunt in the leader's residence, and left with Qi Mei.
After leaving the leader's residence, Qi Mei dared to speak. She grabbed her clothes that had lost their hems and pulled them down with all her strength. With an embarrassed look on her face, she said, "...My clothes were torn by the puppet just now. It's the only piece of clothing I have."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Jiang Deng lowered her head and looked at Qi Mei who was in her arms.
Only then did she notice that Qi Mei's clothes were not black, but were dirty and black.
Realizing she was holding a dirty little kid, Jiang Deng almost threw Qi Mei out. She used all her strength to restrain her instinct, "Well, how long has it been since you washed these clothes?"
Qi Mei sniffed and said, "Ever since the Lighting Sect was destroyed, no one makes clothes for me anymore, so I've been wearing this dress for a year and I've never been willing to wash it."
Jiang Deng: “…”
This is the first time I've seen someone lazier than her. She is so lazy that ordinary people cannot reach her level.
"Ahem." Seeing Qi Mei about to cry because her only piece of clothing was damaged, Jiang Deng coughed lightly and soothed her: "How about this, I'll give you a piece of clothing when we get back?"
Anyway, Zhan Ji had given her a lot of clothes before. Although Qi Mei was much shorter than her, as long as the sleeves and trouser legs of the clothes were shortened, Qi Mei could still wear them.
"Yeah!"
Qimei immediately became happy again and hummed happily.
Jiang Deng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Children are so easy to coax. They can be coaxed with just a piece of clothing.
With Qi Mei, he returned safely to Lingfeng where the third elder was.
Jiang Deng was very upset after working all night and still not finding her aunt. She didn't intend to return home empty-handed.
It so happens that the sacred peak where the third elder lives has not been explored yet, so why not explore it!
If you can find it, that would be great. If not, I'll go to the leader's residence another day...
After talking to Qi Mei, Jiang Deng began to explore everywhere in the Third Elder’s Spiritual Peak.
A moment later, Jiang Deng happened to find someone moving suspiciously.
Is this person... the minion following the Third Elder?
Jiang Deng followed immediately.
He Cheng turned many corners along the way and finally arrived at a yard.
There were more than a dozen cultivators gathered outside the yard. The one with the highest realm was a male cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, and the rest were in the late Core Formation stage. It looked like the defense was very tight.
He Cheng first showed his token, then asked, "How is that mortal?"
The male cultivator bowed and said, "Commander He, that mortal has refused to eat since waking up. She's probably on a hunger strike. However... it's okay for us cultivators not to eat, but she's a mortal. If she continues to not eat, she'll starve to death sooner or later."
Hearing this, He Cheng frowned and snorted coldly: "She wants to die? It's not that simple! Even if she doesn't want to eat, I'll force it into her!"
"But she is a woman after all... It's not easy for us men to force her, right?"
"Get out of the way, I'm coming!"
He Cheng pushed the others aside and entered the yard.
"mortal?"
Jiang Deng, who was hiding behind a tree, listened to the conversation of these demon cultivators and his heart began to pound.
It seems that the person imprisoned inside is most likely my aunt!
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng couldn't wait to go out, get rid of these people, and then rescue his aunt.
But then, Jiang Deng gave up the idea.
no!
He Cheng alone was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and among the guards outside were cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul stage. If she couldn't kill them in one move, it would be bad if they sent a message to the Third Elder...
Jiang Deng frowned and could only wait patiently.
About a quarter of an hour later, He Cheng walked out of the yard. There were several red marks on his face and his clothes were a little messy.
He straightened his messy clothes and cursed, "You damn bitch! A mere mortal has so much strength that you almost tore my clothes."
The male cultivator said in a panic, "Commander He, the elders told us to take good care of that prisoner and not kill her. You didn't do anything to her, did you?"
He Cheng snorted coldly, "Humph, if it weren't for the elder's order, I might have really played it."
"Haha," the male cultivator laughed dryly, "Commander He really knows how to joke."
"Who's kidding me, a little guard like you?"
He Cheng rolled his eyes at him, then turned away with a wave of his sleeves.
Behind the tree, Jiang Deng clenched his fists.
Regardless of whether this man did anything bad to my aunt, he deserves to die just for his disrespectful words!
After saying hello to Qi Mei, Jiang Deng took her into the Eight Gates World, and quietly followed He Cheng.
When you reach a quiet and deserted corner.
He Cheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis for no reason. He dodged immediately and a sword energy fell on the place where he had just stood. The ground even sank into it.
The blow was aimed at the back of his neck. If it landed on him, he would die even if he didn't want to!
Obviously, the other party was planning to kill him...
He Cheng quickly looked behind him, where no one was, "Who! You actually attacked me? You're courting death!"
