Chapter 99: Pursuit!
"Ling Meng princess called out from afar: 'Uncle Ye! Don't mind him, let's go.'"
He was so angry that he almost lost his mind from his normally calm state, and with a "whoosh" sound, he disappeared from Jun Mo Xie's sight, leaving no trace behind. In his heart, he secretly decided: This kid may be weak in martial arts, but his mouth is truly one of the most venomous in the world. It would be better to avoid him in the future. If one day he really gets angry and dies from it, then he would have created a record on the Xuan Xuan continent where a great master of Tian Xuan was killed by an insignificant junior!
In a short period of time, I didn't even have the strength to move my hands, let alone get injured, yet I had countless episodes of qi and blood surging up, wanting to vomit blood! This experience is truly unprecedented in my life. Even if I had practiced qigong incorrectly and disrupted my meridians, it wouldn't be as severe as this time.
"Old man, you're not dead yet, that's what they call seeing a ghost! Still have to thank you for helping me solve the trouble. Humming twice, watching Ling Meng princess and Ye Gu Han both being angered away by himself, Jun Mo Xie looked at the empty streets, smiled strangely, and with a burst of strength from his left foot, "brush" jumped up, "whoosh" climbed over the wall, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
Princess Ling Meng continued to feel her whole body trembling, her vision blurring, and she was panting heavily, feeling suffocated in her heart, as if her chest was about to explode.
The maid beside her was so frightened that she kept patting her chest and back to help her catch her breath; it took a long time for her to calm down, feeling weak all over, as if she had just gone through a great battle, like she was about to faint. This was the first time in her life that someone had made her so angry that she felt an urge to chop Jun Mo Xie into a million pieces! "Turn the carriage and head towards the Dugu Manor." Princess Ling Meng ordered.
His face turned black as coal, then suddenly white, and then bright red again, changing colors like a master of disguise. The only regret was that he only had three colors - if he had a few more, he would be a true master of the art! A fierce aura rose from his body, almost destroying everything in its path. His eyes stared straight ahead, like a burning volcano.
Eight guards in your house are anxiously looking at him, with endless worry in their hearts. How did the princess and this person come to my house, but our young master didn't? And also, our young master was shouting loudly just now, what's going on? This man won't have really made our young master cry, will he?!
Although I felt the astonishing aura on Ye Guhan's body, and I knew that it was best not to provoke him at this time, as it was very dangerous. However, after hesitating for a long time, my loyalty to my master took over, and I finally plucked up the courage to ask: "Does Your Excellency know my young master..." Ye Guhan's eyes turned bright red, his white hair stood on end, and he let out a loud roar that shook the heavens and earth. The people in front of him all changed color, their hearts racing, and they stumbled backwards, almost falling over.
Fully demonstrating the extraordinary strength of Tian Xuan's high-handedness!
This anger finally vented, erupted and poured out! If it didn't come out, I'm afraid I'd have internal injuries from holding it in!
A long whistle shook the nine cities!
In the capital, countless masters instantly sensed it, and a strong divine thought burst into the sky one after another, wandering in the air above the capital. Everyone was very curious, and the master who made this angry roar had an aura that was at least at the peak of the Earth Profound Realm! What could have caused such a master to become like this? The anger contained in this voice was almost enough to burn the heavens and earth, and everyone could hear it!
At the entrance of the small wine shop, Song Lao San suddenly opened his dim old eyes, and his gaze was full of surprise: How could it be so similar to Xiao Ye's voice? After seeing Ye Gu Han and Ling Meng Gong Zhu's carriage leave, the guards rushed over in a flurry. At first glance, everything seemed calm, but there was no sign of their young master anywhere, and they couldn't help but cry out in unison!
Isn't this strange guard going to kill the young master, or even destroy his corpse? Jun Mo Xie emerged from the shadows with an unusual agility, like a dark shadow, speeding through the alleys. His thoughts had already extended far ahead, closely following a line of black-clad assassins who were also rapidly retreating. As he walked quickly, his hands moved swiftly, and after just a few dozen feet, his entire face had transformed into another person's; he looked like a man in his thirties, with disheveled hair to boot. People like this are countless on the streets of the Imperial Capital, making it extremely difficult to pick him out from the crowd.
Three turns and two turns, like a flying arrow, he rushed out of the street, his footsteps seemingly slow but actually fast, quickly passing through a clothing store. After that, his speed didn't decrease at all, but the moon-white robe on his body had changed to a commoner's dark blue attire. The owner of the clothing store, Fu Ran, was still smiling and welcoming customers... As for the several assassins in front, they were obviously very cautious, changing their clothes after turning around several times, disguising themselves as ordinary merchants, slowly heading east while chatting and laughing along the way, seemingly discussing something with great pleasure. From their expressions, it seemed like a typical conversation about women, with a standard "lecherous" look on their faces.
The standard of this killer organization is indeed not simple; Jun Xie sighed in his heart. Such a disguise, in the previous life, as long as one was an assassin, would be obvious, but in this world, these two people could do it so naturally, obviously they were well-trained; and what's even more remarkable is that these two people also hid their killing aura without a trace, this is truly where the high level of skill lies.
If it weren't for one's own spiritual awareness being able to detect that same kind of chill on the other person's body, it would be almost impossible to track.
Or it can be said that apart from oneself, there is no one who can track with the same method!
The scene of chasing after a cup of tea had been going on for so long, and now the sound of gentle water was heard from ahead, accompanied by the faintly audible sound of a flute, with the subtle hint of a woman humming a tune, and the scent of perfume wafting over, growing stronger. It seemed that they had finally arrived at their destination.
Misty Lake!
Jun Mo Xie finally understood why these people had to go through that street. There, it was the only way to get to Lingwu Lake, and if they changed direction, they would have to take a big detour! If he were in their shoes, he would rather take a bigger detour, so as not to arouse suspicion!
All the way here, Jun Mo Xie had changed into three different sets of clothes and even his height and build had been altered three times!
Tianxiang City, Lingwu Lake, is a paradise for all men; here, there are countless beauties "slender and plump, everything is available, as long as you can think of it, it must be here! In this place, you can walk into any building, step into any painted boat, as long as you have enough silver, you can play however you want, love however you want, follow your heart without any worries!
But if you don't have money, it's better to give up early. Even a middle-aged career woman like Tang Yuan won't give you a second glance!
Naturally, there are many legends in this world about talented men and beautiful women, the sentimental ladies of the green towers, and the like, who privately arrange marriages that ultimately become lifelong companions; but after all, legends are just legends!
The legend is always very beautiful, unfortunately. The reality is extremely cruel. Many poor scholars with handsome appearance and talented minds come here, trying to write a legendary story of a talented man and a beauty, hoping to meet a soulmate who will fall in love at first sight. They fantasize about rising to fame and fortune with their talent and good looks... But unfortunately, after being robbed of the few coins they had, they are heartlessly thrown out, some even thrown into the Lingwu Lake to drown, utterly humiliated. This is a harsh reminder that legends are just that - legends. Without enough silver in your pocket, legends will only lead you to a miserable death... And have you thought about what kind of place a brothel is? As they say, "Women are heartless, and actors are unscrupulous!" A brothel is the last place where you'd find someone who would remain chaste. What man who comes to a brothel would keep his chastity intact? Coming to such a place and pretending to be a romantic is even more disgusting than those who sell their bodies on the street!
A courtesan who has grown accustomed to the coldness and cruelty of human relationships would surely be able to see through the wicked intentions hidden beneath the elegant and refined exterior of these so-called men of talent.
It's better not to have such dreams!
No wonder Tang Yuan once said that when he saw a scoundrel being killed with one swift knife, it was clean and efficient, but when he saw a hypocrite, he had to torment him repeatedly until his spirit collapsed, and still couldn't get enough revenge!
These words have won my heart!
Don't be a wallflower, hiding in the shadows, leaning against trees to conceal your form, swaying with the grass like the wind. Clearly a living person, yet seemingly an intangible shadow, as if anything could serve as his cover. He followed all the way, and not only did the three assassins ahead fail to notice him, but also no one among the pedestrians on the road paid attention to him.
Only the three people in front, with a look of extreme luxury and extravagance, walked into a very luxurious building by the side of Lingwu Lake - Yinniang Pavilion.
After they entered, a nearby pleasure boat slowly slid over and stopped at the waterside of the Nongxiang Pavilion, remaining still.
Jun Mo Xie's heart skipped a beat as he looked around, only to see that aside from the boatman, there was no one else on the ship. It seemed like they were waiting for someone to arrive. This situation seemed somewhat suspicious. Moreover, just as they had boarded, the painting boat that had been docked on the other side had come over? Wasn't this a bit too coincidental? Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble!
A gentle breeze arose, and a patch of lotus flowers in the reeds on the water's surface fluttered up, adding a few touches of dreamy illusion to the dusk, making everything in front seem so unreal.
You quietly took advantage of the cattail flowers' floating up, and your entire body seemed to dissolve into the vast expanse of cattails. With a slight movement, you swiftly floated tens of feet away, using the shore's large willow tree as cover. You then quickly plucked two reeds from the ground and held them in your hand, before silently slipping into the water like a feather floating down onto its surface, without even creating a ripple. This was truly a testament to Young Master Jun's significant improvement in his skills, which he had not possessed just half a month prior.
