The Return of the Demon

#1223 - Good intentions but no power

Ye Xingjue should have left.

Therefore, there is no need for Ning Chen to pretend.

A killer stabbed with a dagger like lightning.

With a flash of cold light, Ning Chen's sword pierced his wrist directly from bottom to top.

"ah......."

The shrill scream lasted only two seconds before the latter was hit on the temple by Ning Chen's sword and knocked unconscious on the spot.

The other two killers' faces suddenly changed, and their eyes were filled with disbelief... As if they couldn't believe that Ning Chen, who had just been forced into a miserable state by them, had suddenly become so powerful?

Ning Chen sneered, daring to be absent-minded in front of him.

These three people are quite skilled, but they are no match for the super masters.

If you still dare to be absent-minded in this situation, you are simply seeking death.

Ning Chen was like a ghost, flashing between the two of them like lightning.

Immediately, both of them screamed at the same time, their left hands tightly grasping their right wrists, the dagger fell to the ground, and bright red blood flowed out from between their fingers.

Ning Chen flashed between the two of them, then turned around abruptly, sweeping the Canmeng Sword left and right.

With two bangs, both men were hit on the temple, their eyes rolled back and they passed out.

Ning Chen slowly put away his sword and sneered.

He went to the window, opened it and looked out.

On the roof opposite, a man popped his head out from behind the ridge. It was Ke You, the third senior brother of the Ghost Shadow Sect.

Ke You nodded towards Ning Chen.

Ning Chen's mouth curled up slightly. Ke You meant that Liu Baiyi had caught up with Ye Xingjue.

Ke You nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Ning Chen closed the window, turned and walked out of the room.

Ke You will take the three people in the room back and interrogate them strictly.

Ning Chen walked out of the inn and looked around.

At this time, a carriage slowly drove over, blocking Ning Chen's view.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties with a weathered face and untidy beard.

He was wearing a ragged cotton jacket, holding a horse whip, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please get in the car."

Ning Chen stared at him warily.

The driver said, "Don't be nervous, Your Majesty. I am from Taichu Pavilion, and I am here to serve Your Majesty on the orders of the Young Master... No, the Young Lady.

There are too many people here, so I will not salute Your Majesty. I hope you can forgive me.

Your Majesty, please get in the car and I will take you to see the person you want to see."

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, he lowered his head to think, then jumped onto the carriage and got into the car.

This person first said that he was following the orders of the young master, but later changed his words to the eldest lady.

This is talking about Xiao Yanxi.

Xiao Yanxi used to be Master Le, one of the four masters of Taichu Pavilion. After she followed him, people in Taichu Pavilion knew that she was a girl and changed her name to Miss.

And when he came, Xiao Yanxi said that she would send someone to assist him.

The carriage drove slowly towards West City.

At the same time, another carriage was heading towards West City.

However, this carriage is not for people, but for transporting goods.

The driver was wearing a coarse robe and a bamboo hat, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. One could only see his beard when he occasionally raised his head to drive the horse.

"drive!!!"

The coachman drove the carriage to a butcher's shop in the west of the city, stopped, and then walked into the shop.

About an incense stick of time later, a young man dressed in short clothes came out of the back door of the butcher shop carrying half a pig.

A freight carriage was parked at the door. Half a pig was placed on the carriage, and the driver drove the carriage towards the East City.

After the carriage left, a middle-aged man in a gray robe flashed out from a corner, holding something wrapped in cloth in his hand, which looked like a sword... and then followed slowly.

The coachman drove the carriage around the city.

We visited several places along the way.

Finally, we arrived at Dongcheng.

He abandoned his car and walked.

Finally, we entered a pub.

And this tavern was actually not far from the city lord's mansion.

After the coachman entered the tavern, he went straight through the back hall and came to the backyard.

In the backyard of the pub, there is a group of ordinary houses.

One of them had a light on.

The driver walked quickly towards the lighted room.

But just as he got there, the door opened and a fat old woman, leaning on a cane and with a hunched back, walked out.

When the driver saw the old woman, he said nothing, reached into his arms and took out a jade pendant.

The old woman's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, shining brightly, and she said happily: "Did you succeed?"

The driver raised his head, looked proud, and nodded slightly.

Who else could this person be but Ye Xingjue?

"This Ning Chen is still as difficult as ever. After being poisoned by your aphrodisiac, he still had the strength to resist. He almost fell into his hands."

The old woman's face changed, "What's going on?"

Ye Xingjue told the story again!

The old woman looked around vigilantly, and then said in a serious voice, "Could this be Ning Chen's trick? Did he let you go on purpose and then followed you here?"

Ye Xingjue's face suddenly changed, but he soon relaxed, "No, after I escaped, I changed several identities and wandered around the city for a long time before coming to find you.

Ning Chen has people from the Ghost Shadow Sect around him. People from the Ghost Shadow Sect are good at using poisons, so they are also good at detoxifying... It is normal for them to have some medicine to counteract your incense."

The old woman also felt that what Ye Xingjue said made some sense.

Soon, her attention was drawn to the jade pendant in Ye Xingjue's hand, and she asked, "Are you sure it's real? Ning Chen is very cunning, don't tell me it's a fake jade pendant."

Ye Xingjue smiled proudly and said, "Ning Chen did take a fake one at first to fool me, but I saw through it.

I found this jade pendant from Ning Chen. It definitely can't be fake.

Besides, whether it is real or fake, isn't the Tianyang Pendant in your hand? Take it out and try it, then you will know whether the Diyin Pendant is real or fake, right?"

The old woman nodded, her expression inevitably excited, "If the Di Yin Pei in your hand is real, we can finally go back.

However, before I go back, I have one more thing to do.

Ning Chen killed my brother, and murdered me and my woman, leaving my son without a father or a mother, living alone and helpless, and being bullied by others. This account must be settled."

Ye Xingjue frowned, "What do you want to do? Don't make things complicated. The Tianyang Diyin Pendant is already in hand, and the most important thing now is to go back.

I'm really fed up with this ignorant and backward world. Let the two jade pendants be combined into one as soon as possible. I don't want to stay here for even a minute."

The old woman laughed grimly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Soon... I will let Ning Chen have a taste of the pain I've suffered.

Isn't he a man of love? Then I will kill Tan Tai Qing Yue.

Tan Tai Qing Yue hunted me down for him, and I want him to live in pain and guilt for the rest of his life."

Ye Xingjue frowned slightly, but did not stop him. He urged, "Then hurry up, don't waste time...lest you have more troubles later."

The old woman laughed lewdly and said, "Tantai Qingyue is a rare beauty, it would be a pity to kill her directly.

If she were raped and then killed, Ning Chen would suffer for the rest of his life.

Although I have the intention, I am a girl, how about you help me?"
