Zhou Jin followed the clues left by the shadows to search for Bai Lingxi, but unexpectedly, Bai Lingxi did not encounter Zhou Jin's men; instead, she disappeared!
Yes, that's right. Bai Lingxi, a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, managed to outrun Zhou Jin's head of the secret guards on this land!
This is almost unbelievable, yet it happened to Bai Lingxi in a bizarre way. It seems impossible no matter how you look at it, but it did happen!
Shadow reported the day's events to Zhou Jin, his expression filled with doubt and confusion: "At the time, I and several guards were chasing after Madam..."
"However, several groups of people suddenly appeared and surrounded us from all directions, blocking the way completely. The lady disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Shadow was telling the truth, because Bai Lingxi was accompanied by more than one person, and without exception, they were all left behind and escaped because of this incident!
It's like adding wings to a tiger, as if divinely aided!
Although Zhou Jin was helpless, she also harbored a doubt in her heart and planted a seed of suspicion.
The most urgent task now is to find Bai Lingxi. She is a weak woman who, although she managed to escape from here by luck, may encounter some bad people.
Once Zhou Jin understood this, he gathered all his people and began searching for Bai Lingxi.
As the sun began to set, the bustling sounds of vendors hawking their wares on the street gradually subsided.
Fewer and fewer pedestrians were on the road, and the stall owners began to pack up and prepare to go home.
The group searched from day to night, looking at almost every stall and even searching nearby small shops, but they still couldn't find it.
Zhou Jin's expression grew increasingly solemn, because he had initially thought that Bai Lingxi, having no martial arts skills or tools and no money on her, wouldn't go too far.
However, as time went on, things became uncontrollable!
Zhou Jin was very worried. He had never felt that time was passing so quickly. Even though he hadn't stopped for a moment, he still hadn't found the person.
The secret guards split into eight groups and had already covered an area of nearly a hundred kilometers, but they still found nothing.
They all hung their heads dejectedly, because they didn't dare to look at their master's face. Zhou Jin's face was ashen.
The person has just gone missing, so there's still a chance of finding them here. But if a day or two has passed, given the current speed of carriages, they might be taken somewhere else entirely.
However, the carriage...
Zhou Jin suddenly realized that they had only investigated the people and shops nearby, but they didn't know who was in the carriage. What if Bai Lingxi was hiding inside...
"Shadow, arrange for men to scout the carriages that have just departed for various locations. Immediately, send a signal as soon as any are spotted!"
After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he thought of a carriage that had just passed him by. For some reason, it just wouldn't leave his mind, even though it was so ordinary and unremarkable.
Zhou Jin thought for a moment and decided to follow, so he spurred his horse and rode at full speed.
Finally, following the tracks of the carriage wheels, he found a strange house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, but then he heard cries coming from inside.
Zhou Jin gripped the sword at his waist, carefully searching for the quietest spot.
After he successfully climbed over the wall, two people walked towards him. They were dressed in coarse cloth clothes and were both fat and strong, unlike ordinary people.
Zhou Jin dodged to the corner of the wall, where there was a thick willow tree that could just block his figure while giving him space to observe the other party.
He noticed that one of them seemed somewhat dissatisfied, muttering, "Didn't manage to catch many today. Those little wench girls are really useless, each one of them looks like a deadbeat. But picking up a beauty isn't bad either."
Another chimed in, "Yeah, it's a pity we can't enjoy it first. We have to give it to the boss and the others. Sigh, I really hope the boss and the others get tired of it soon. Okay, hiccup, let us have a taste too."
Zhou Jin heard the key words: "great beauty"? Could it be Xi'er? A bad feeling rose in Zhou Jin's heart. Judging from their words, Xi'er was in great danger!
Zhou Jin couldn't hold back any longer. After the two left, he immediately came out from around the corner. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill them, but if he called for help and was discovered, it would alert the enemy and delay the opportunity.
With his exceptional hearing, Zhou Jin bypassed one abandoned courtyard after another, and under the cover of night, his actions proceeded smoothly.
Finally, the further they went in, the more women cried out. Some of them weren't even inside the house; they were no different from that beast, doing their business outside.
In the darkness, Zhou Jin could hardly make out anyone's face; all she could hear were women's screams and men's sneers.
His heart pounded like a drum as he tried to recognize everyone's voice and face, filled with worry and fear, worried that he might miss the opportunity to save Bai Lingxi.
But he was also afraid—afraid that Bai Lingxi would really be defiled and abused among this group of people!
Fortunately, he carefully looked at everyone's face but didn't find Bai Lingxi. But everyone was in this courtyard.
Did he leave somewhere behind?!
Zhou Jin suddenly realized that if they had driven the woman outside, then who was inside the house?
He watched as the many beasts were preoccupied with their own pleasure, and no one noticed him hiding in the shadows. Zhou Jin moved into the house silently, like a shadow.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard a faint moan, like a cat's meow, which he could tell was someone trying their best to endure it.
At the same time, a murky and wicked male voice rang out: "Haha, little lady, just one drop of my Spring Breeze Dew is enough to turn a virgin into a harlot."
"If it weren't for your good looks, and the fear that you wouldn't be able to handle us all later, I wouldn't have let you use it, don't you think? Third brother!"
"Hahahaha, that's right, the boss is right! This is for the young lady's good, hahahaha!" This was another voice, equally filthy.
Zhou Jin knew there was more than one person inside, and the groaning sound was too faint for him to tell if it was Bai Lingxi. However, he knew he couldn't wait any longer!
No sooner said than done!
Zhou Jin drew his sword, named Bloodthirsty, which could take a person's life in an instant, yet the blade remained unstained by blood.
The first person he struck with his sword to the throat was the one closest to the woman, because just as he was about to lean over her, Zhou Jin, without thinking, stopped him with her own body!
"Who are you?" The men were all naked, and they didn't even have time to grab their weapons. They stepped forward, naked, and tried to snatch Zhou Jin's sword.
Unfortunately, they were fast, but Zhou Jin reacted even faster, using her elusive martial arts moves to take their lives one by one!
After resolving everything, Zhou Jin carefully parted the woman's hair, and sure enough, it was Bai Lingxi's stunningly beautiful face!
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she were about to die from the pain at any moment.
