Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 171

As Zhao Gao spoke, the disciples of the Xi clan who had been guarding the door rushed in, their weapons aimed directly at the Yin-Yang masters. The Yin-Yang masters, seeing this, knew they had walked into the lion's den and had no room for resistance.

Furthermore, although the risks were high, the benefits were also substantial. After some deliberation, the Yin-Yang masters did not hesitate at all and knelt down before Zhao Gao, loudly proclaiming:

"We swear to serve Lord Donghuang Taiyi to the death!"

Upon hearing the shouts from those below, Zhao Gao couldn't help but burst into laughter. He waved his hand with satisfaction at the disciple holding a knife beside him, signaling him to step back.

After understanding Zhao Gao's meaning, the guards turned and quickly walked out of the hall. Zhao Gao, seeing this, smiled and said to the Yin-Yang masters below:

"Rest assured, I will certainly not treat you unfairly once you join our Xi clan!"

As Zhao Gao spoke, a group of maids carrying wooden trays walked towards the Yin-Yang School. Various beads were placed on the trays, and the Yin-Yang School members sensed a trace of spiritual energy emanating from them.

Upon seeing this, the Yin-Yang masters realized that what was placed in front of them was definitely a good thing to help with cultivation, so a greedy look appeared on each of their faces as they stared intently at the wooden plate in the maid's hand.

After seeing the gazes of those people, Zhao Gao laughed loudly and addressed the Yin-Yang masters:

"Go! All those things are yours!"

Chapter 425 Huang Banxian

Upon hearing Zhao Gao declare that all the items before them belonged to them, the Yin-Yang masters began a frenzy of grabbing, completely forgetting their previous unpleasantness.

Seeing the current state of the Yin-Yang School members, Zhao Gao's smile gradually turned sinister.

""

“Master, a group of Yin-Yang masters are spreading all sorts of alarming rumors in Xianyang City. I suspect that Zhao Gao is behind all of this!”

Shao Siming, standing before Luo Chen, slowly revealed her innermost thoughts.

Upon hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer and said to Shao Siming:

"Alright, you'll come with me to take a look at this matter!"

"Yes."

After saying these words, Luo Chen and Shao Siming walked out of the palace and wandered around Xianyang City until they appeared in front of a fortune-telling stall.

When Luo Chen saw the unassuming man in front of her, she recognized him at a glance. After seeing the man, Shao Siming whispered to Luo Chen about him.

Upon hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen sneered and said to her:

"Let's go, let's go and have a go at him!"

"We measure the heavens and the earth, we predict time and fortune; if it's fake, we'll compensate you tenfold; we're honest with everyone, young and old!"

The fortune teller in front of me kept shouting his wares at his stall, but his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings, as if he was paying attention to the changes around him.

At this moment, Luo Chen also brought Shao Siming to the man's stall and said to the fortune teller:

"Is it really that effective?!"

When Huang Banxian heard what the newcomer said, he also turned his attention to Luo Chen and began to observe him. After only one glance, he shifted his gaze to Shao Siming next to Luo Chen.

Upon seeing that look, Luo Chen snorted coldly and said to Huang Banxian in an icy tone:

"If you dare to keep looking around like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

After hearing Luo Chen's arrogant tone, Huang Banxian was filled with disdain, but he still turned his gaze back to Luo Chen and said haughtily:

"My fortune-telling is always accurate, and I never deceive anyone, young or old."

Upon hearing Huang Banxian's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said to Huang Banxian:

"Very well, my house is haunted, why don't you come with me!"

As Luo Chen spoke, he gradually took out two gold ingots from his sleeve, placed them in front of Huang Banxian, and said with a smile:

"This is just your deposit. If you really work that well, I'll give you double the reward!"

When Huang Banxian saw the two ingots of gold in front of him, his eyes gleamed with greed. With a fawning expression, he stuffed the two ingots into his clothes and hurriedly began packing up his stall, saying to Luo Chen:

"Alright, I'll go with you right now!"

Upon seeing his current state, Luo Chen turned away, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"He didn't even realize he was close to death!"

Thinking of this, Luo Chen led Shao Siming and Huang Banxian out of the city gate. As they moved further away from the city, Huang Banxian began to ponder the matter.

"It seems this matter is definitely not that simple. It's all my fault for being blinded by greed back then. It looks like I'm in trouble this time!"

As Luo Chen led Huang Banxian into a dense forest, he gradually stopped, turned around, and said to Huang Banxian with a cold smile:

"Alright, this is the place. Get ready to perform the ritual!"

After observing the surrounding scenery, Huang Banxian sneered and said to Luo Chen:

"Show me what you've got! Stop playing tricks!"

Upon hearing Huang Banxian's words, Luo Chen burst into laughter, as if he had heard a joke, and said to Huang Banxian:

"It seems like you've been the one playing tricks all along!"

Just then, Shao Siming quickly struck Huang Banxian's body with a hand seal. Without much thought, Huang Banxian took off his Taoist robe and put it on inside out.

Just as Shao Siming's palm was about to strike Huang Banxian's body, Huang Banxian's figure suddenly disappeared before Shao Siming's eyes.

Knowing the reason, Shao Siming showed no panic. She took out a small pinch of red soil from her pocket, held it tightly in her palm, and watched her surroundings warily.

Upon seeing Shao Siming's wary expression, Huang Banxian, who had already concealed himself, grinned wickedly and quickly moved towards her.

Sensing the abnormality of her surroundings, Shao Siming suddenly threw the red soil in her hand behind her. Huang Banxian, who was about to approach Shao Siming, did not expect to be discovered and hurriedly dodged to the side.

However, the red soil in Shao Siming's hand was accurately thrown onto Huang Banxian's body. As Huang Banxian continued to move, Shao Siming kept staring intently at him.

When Huang Banxian realized that every move he made was being watched closely by Shao Siming, he gradually guessed that he had probably been exposed. So he simply threw the Taoist robe in his hand at Shao Siming.

Upon seeing Huang Banxian suddenly appear, Shao Siming did not hesitate at all. She used her inner strength to draw the dewdrop from the side into her palm and then flicked it towards Huang Banxian's body.

Like bullets, the dewdrops collided directly with the thrown Taoist robe, instantly creating a red mist that blocked everyone's view.

Upon seeing this, Huang Banxian hurriedly took out his life-saving techniques and began to set them up around Luo Chen and Shao Siming.

As the red mist gradually dissipated, Luo Chen and Shao Siming's vision gradually opened up. When Shao Siming saw Huang Banxian disappear before her eyes, she became anxious and wanted to chase after him.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately stopped Shao Siming and said with a cold smile:

"No need to chase him! He's right here!"

Chapter 426 The Suspicious Zhao Gao

Just after Luo Chen finished speaking, a thick yellow fog gradually appeared around them, obscuring all the surrounding vision. Then, a sinister laugh came from the thick fog.

"Heh heh you want to kill me? I'll show you how I'll toy with you to death!"

Just then, a sharp whistling sound came from the mist in front of Luo Chen. Upon hearing that sound, Luo Chen couldn't stop sneering.

Suddenly, Luo Chen leaped forward and reached into the mist. Just as he landed, a sharp arrow appeared in his hand.

Just then, a soft exclamation came from the side, the voice tinged with a hint of surprise:

"I didn't expect you to react so quickly, but your luck won't be so good from here on out!"

"shhhhhh"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Luo Chen reached into the mist once more, and unsurprisingly, several arrows were once again firmly grasped in his hand.

When Huang Banxian saw this, his voice rose in anger, and he prepared to launch another surprise attack on Luo Chen and Shao Siming.

But this time, after Luo Chen knew Huang Banxian's location, he didn't give him another chance. He threw the arrow in his hand into the mist, and a scream followed.

Ouch!

After hearing Huang Banxian's scream, Luo Chen chuckled and led Shao Siming slowly toward the direction from which the sound came.

Right now, the thick fog that had been spreading all around was gradually dissipating, leaving only Huang Banxian lying on the ground screaming in agony.

Upon seeing Huang Banxian's buttocks covered in sharp arrows, Luo Chen sneered repeatedly and asked Huang Banxian in an icy voice:

"Who was it that said they were going to kill us?"

At this moment, when Huang Banxian saw Luo Chen behind him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly scrambled forward on the ground with his hands. In Huang Banxian's eyes, Luo Chen was like a demon walking towards him quickly.

After Luo Chen arrived in front of Huang Banxian, he grabbed Huang Banxian from the ground with his right hand and loudly questioned him:

Tell me, where is Zhao Gao!

When Huang Banxian heard Luo Chen ask about Zhao Gao, he immediately felt that he might have a glimmer of hope. His expression gradually stabilized, and he said to Luo Chen:

"I can tell you, but you have to promise to spare my life! Otherwise, I'd rather die than tell you!"

Upon hearing Huang Banxian's words, Luo Chen gradually revealed a cold smile on his face, staring intently at Huang Banxian, and slowly reached out with his left hand to grab Huang Banxian's arm.

"Oh? Is that so? Are you really so unyielding, even to the death?"

When Huang Banxian saw the cold smile on Luo Chen's face, he couldn't help but shudder. Before Huang Banxian could change his mind, a sound of bone cracking came from Huang Banxian's arm.

"what"

After letting out a scream, cold sweat quickly streamed down Huang Banxian's face. Before Huang Banxian could even beg for mercy, Luo Chen's left hand reached for his other arm again.

"No!"

When Huang Banxian saw Luo Chen's left hand reaching for his arm, he shouted loudly at Luo Chen, trying to stop him with his voice, but it seemed too late.

"Ouch, my arm!"

Looking at his two limp arms, Huang Banxian's face showed a pained expression.

At this moment, Lin Yi's voice rang in Huang Banxian's ear again, his tone icy as he spoke to Huang Banxian:

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me Zhao Gao's location and I'll give you a quick death!"

Looking at the man before him, Huang Banxian dared not utter a single word of dissent. He nodded painfully and said to Luo Chen:

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

But just as Huang Banxian was about to say something next, his expression gradually began to twist, and he struggled in Luo Chen's hands. When Luo Chen saw this, he felt very strange and threw Huang Banxian to the ground.

When Huang Banxian was thrown to the ground by Luo Chen, his whole body began to curl up and tremble. But after a while, Huang Banxian gradually calmed down.

When Shao Siming saw this, she slowly walked towards Huang Banxian. When she turned Huang Banxian's body over with her own hands, she suddenly discovered that Huang Banxian was already dead.

Looking at those dark black lips, it was obvious without much thought that Huang Banxian had died from a deadly poison, but Luo Chen hadn't sensed any sign that anyone had come from the beginning.

The only explanation for this situation is that Huang Banxian was already poisoned when he left Zhao Gao's side.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen began to carefully examine Huang Banxian's body. When Luo Chen focused his gaze on the pearl on Huang Banxian's head, he stared intently at it.

When Shao Siming saw Luo Chen staring at the pearl above Huang Banxian's head, she hurriedly came to Luo Chen's side and explained to him.

"This is a unique treasure of our Xi clan, which can help the wearer enhance their spiritual power invisibly."

After hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully and calmly said to Shao Siming:

"Then can you tell the difference between this and yours?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Siming also began to observe carefully. After Luo Chen's explanation, Shao Siming did indeed detect a strange phenomenon within the pearl and hurriedly said to Luo Chen:

"This pearl is indeed different. Although it looks exactly the same as the one I wear, this pearl contains a kind of intense pain. The spiritual power emanating from that pearl carries the poison into the wearer's body, thereby controlling the person! It seems that this person is not trusted by Zhao Gao!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen slowly stood up from the ground, sighed helplessly, and said to Shao Siming:

"Looks like the trail has gone cold again. Alright, let's go!"

Just as Luo Chen was about to leave, Shao Siming hurriedly called out to him, and said to him with delight:

"Master, I have a plan that can help you!"

Chapter 427 I'll Take Your Life!

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen looked at Shao Siming with a hint of surprise. Shao Siming smiled and slowly wiped her face with her right hand, revealing a face exactly like Huang Banxian's.

Seeing Shao Siming's disguise technique, it was so realistic that it looked like the real thing, especially her aged skin, which didn't look like it was covered with the skin of other animals.

"How did you do that?" Luo Chen asked Shao Siming in surprise.

Seeing Luo Chen's delighted expression, and knowing she could help him, Shao Siming was overjoyed and smiled as she spoke to Luo Chen:

"This is made from the medicine I got from Sister Rong, but the only drawback of the medicine is that its effect is very short-lived. We must find the person who is in contact with Master Huang within one hour."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen no longer hesitated. He pulled Shao Siming into his arms and quickly flew towards Xianyang City.

After Luo Chen safely placed Shao Siming in Xianyang City, he found a very secluded teahouse to rest and observe the surrounding situation.
