Ji Fengyao, Bai Lu, and Cao Jinchang ate some simple roasted meat and roasted buns.
Only when night fell, the stars shone brightly, and there were few people around, did the three mount their respective demon beast mounts and head towards Yongcheng at full speed.
After wasting a whole month in Yongcheng without making any progress, Li Yu was at his wit's end.
During this time, he sent a letter back to Shang Beiyu.
Shang Beiyu replied and speculated:
Is the headquarters of the Eastern Dragon Gate located near the Northern Kingdom? He instructed Li Yu to remain in Yongcheng and make sure to find the whereabouts of those Eastern Dragon Gate members or other members.
Therefore, Li Yu became even more Buddhist.
He squatted inside the Cao family's ancestral home, being served the best food and drink;
Every day, he would send out skinny monkeys and others to wreak havoc on the members of the Cao Gang and their relatives. He didn't care what kind of havoc they caused; he just focused on meditating and cultivating himself.
So the skinny monkey took the chicken feather as an imperial edict and acted like a tyrant in Yongcheng every day.
Their murders and arson escalated daily, becoming increasingly heinous and appalling.
That night.
Skinny Monkey and his gang forcibly took several more respectable women back and feasted on wine and meat.
His men have recently benefited greatly from following Skinny Monkey, and everyone is vying to flatter him:
"Boss, you're riding high right now!"
"That's right. Once we catch the leader of the Canal Gang and expose those high-ranking members of the East Dragon Gate, Chief Envoy Li will certainly have made a great contribution, but our boss will also have played a crucial role!"
"Who knows, our boss might even gain the Emperor's favor, then his future will be limitless!"
Skinny Monkey, flattered by the string of compliments, chuckled wickedly as he roughly fondled the girl in his arms. "Not at all," he said, "I still need the brothers' help until things are settled. But, I'm grateful for your kind words. If I, Skinny Monkey, truly gain the Emperor's favor in the future, I will certainly not forget your great assistance today and will definitely help you all!"
These pretentious and polite words made a group of people excitedly howl like wolves:
"Our boss is really a true friend!"
"We respect our elder brother!"
"Good! Respect to the boss!"
One of his subordinates, seeing the girl in the skinny monkey's arms crying with tears streaming down her face, tried to ingratiate himself. He slammed his hand on the table, pointed at the girl's nose, and cursed, "You ungrateful wretch! Our boss taking a liking to you is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes. And you're still wailing like this? If you keep wailing, believe me, I'll kill your whole family right now and let you wail to your heart's content!"
As he spoke, the subordinate drew his dagger and was about to walk into the courtyard.
In one corner of the courtyard, a group of people were tied up like rice dumplings.
They included both the elderly and children, all covered in wounds; they were the family members of the women inside the house.
The girl in the skinny monkey's arms was so frightened that she immediately struggled to sit up, hugged him tightly, and cried, "No, no! I won't cry anymore, I promise I won't shed a single tear!"
"Hey? This trick works, hahaha!" Skinny Monkey laughed loudly, shamelessly groping her.
The subordinate who reached the door laughed loudly, "These worthless bastards need to be treated like this... uh... hehe..."
His laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by the horrifying sound of coughing up blood.
The people inside the room noticed something was off about the sound and looked up in confusion.
But then Cao Jinchang, now back to his original appearance, was holding a curved knife. The sharp curve of the knife was slicing across the neck of his subordinate, and blood was seeping from the blade, forming a large bloodstain.
Behind Cao Jinchang, Ji Fengyao and Bai Lu, dressed in light pink dresses and slender figures, were as beautiful as celestial beings descended to earth, making the eyes of all the men in the room light up.
