Jing Le watched as the woman, accompanied by her guards, crossed the courtyard wall and arrived at the door of their room.
A rustling sound arose, and a wisp of smoke drifted in through the crack in the door.
These people don't think they can get rid of us with just a little sleeping powder, do they? They're seriously underestimating us.
[I can't wait to see what the young lady from the city lord's family would think if she knew her mother, the city lord, had been dealt with.]
Jing Le's mischievous side kicked in, and her eyes started darting around.
Duan Feibai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, the door was pried open from the outside with the handle of a knife, perhaps because they thought the people inside had been knocked unconscious by the sleeping gas.
So instead of being cautious after entering, they started to inspect the place in a very public manner.
There were no lights on in the room, so they didn't know that Jing Le and Duan Feibai were sitting on chairs near the bed watching them.
Only two or three people came in; the others went to other rooms.
Presumably, each room has at least two or three such rooms, which would ensure that they can be subdued and carried out.
"Huh? Why is nobody here?"
A man in black came to the bed, lifted the covers, and found it empty; there was no one there at all.
A man in black lit a tinderbox, and the dim light illuminated a small area. The bed was indeed empty.
Are you looking for me?
Just then, Jing Le's voice rang out from behind them.
"who?"
The group turned around in fright, and the firelight shone directly on Jing Le and his companion. Coupled with the wicked smile on Jing Le's lips, they immediately got goosebumps all over.
"A ghost!"
The three men in black were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, and one of them fell right onto the bed.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other men in black and the woman.
"Let's go take a look."
We've searched all the other rooms, but there's no one there. Only Jing Le and his group are making noise.
The noise had woken the innkeeper, but as soon as she saw the man in black holding a knife, she immediately hid, as if she hadn't seen what had just happened.
When the man in black and the woman entered Jing Le's room, they saw Jing Le and the woman sitting on chairs, while his men huddled fearfully on the bed.
"Close the door, little one. Now, where are the others? To be precise, where's the big guy? If you tell me, I'll buy you candy."
Seeing that Jing Le and the other person were clearly just children, the woman lowered her guard.
He was cursing his subordinates in his heart, thinking, "They're just two kids, why are they so scared?"
Jing Le looked at the other person, who was clearly speaking to her in a tone used to coax a child, and immediately became interested.
With a little hand raised, she innocently said, "They've all gone out and won't take us to play. Sister, please take me to find them. We're scared to stay here."
Jing Le pretended not to notice any ill intentions on the other party's part and even smiled.
As naive as can be.
Duan Feibai found it quite amusing to watch from the side.
The woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed: "Come on, let me carry you to find someone."
He then signaled his men to bring Duan Feibai along, and brazenly carried Jing Le over the wall.
The men in black followed behind, bringing Duan Feibai with them.
The last group encountered Shadow Three and Shadow Six on the street in front of the city lord's mansion.
Actually, it was Jing Le who deliberately pointed out the direction.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Shadow Three's figure, and she said, "I've found you. Since you didn't want to come with me during the day, I'll help you now."
At this point, he no longer cared about Jing Le, simply setting her aside and speaking to his subordinates:
"Go, tie him up and take him back to the manor. Do whatever you want with the others. Oh, and let these two kids go; at least they showed me the way."
The woman's true colors were now revealed.
Seeing this, Jing Le lost all interest in playing. She had originally thought that the other person still had some conscience, but she was wrong. A person who could think of possessing another person's body had no conscience at all.
"Since this young lady has said so, Shadow Three, you know what to do, right? Deal with everyone else, and as for her, cripple her cultivation and throw her back to the City Lord's Mansion."
Jing Le's clear voice rang out at an inopportune moment, and before the woman could react, Ying San and the others had already begun their operation.
The situation was completely one-sided, since dealing with these ordinary martial artists was a piece of cake for them now.
"ah--"
Before the woman lost consciousness, she had only one thought: why did she have to provoke them?
What she didn't know was that the city lord's mansion had been destroyed, and everyone inside who was connected to the city lord had been dealt with.
Just as the woman and her sister had their martial arts crippled, their secret guards were also dealt with by Shadow Six and his men.
In an instant, the powerful city lord's mansion was destroyed overnight.
Later, after Jing Le and the others left, the dozen or so teenagers they had rescued explained that the city lord had summoned them not to work at his residence.
They wanted their lives, which is what Shadow 3 told them.
The once glorious city lord's mansion was looted by his enemies, and a new person took over the reins.
But that's a story for later. At this point, Jing Le and the others had already swept through the surrounding countries and collected all these clones.
I learned from the system that there are only two places where the clone still exists: one is in the desert, and the other is across the ocean.
Following the principle of proximity, Jing Le and his group went to the desert first.
This time, instead of traveling directly, they chose to teleport, since they were currently a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the desert.
