Chapter 42: Disappearance and Appearance

  "You're not fooling anyone, the scene around us is obvious, where else could the hidden person be?" A female disciple shouted loudly, having reached this point, they still wanted to drag out time, these two men were really detestable.

  "Who else dares to play tricks, there is indeed one more person here." Wu Yong suddenly shouted loudly, "All things were done by that person who told us to do it, I didn't want to come at first, but I really couldn't resist that person's persuasion. As a result, I was confused and came here. And that swallowing sound was also made by that person, he was too absorbed in it, which led to our discovery."

  Li Moying's eyes narrowed slightly, it was that voice that caught her attention. If not for that voice, she might have already lost interest in the clothes on her body. Thinking of this, Li Moying felt annoyed, "What is that person's name?"

  "The name..." Wu Yong was stunned, he didn't know what the man's name was. Without a name, they couldn't even see his face clearly. Those two were also cunning, and they actually brought such tools, must be habitual offenders. Especially the one with the knife, was particularly vicious, if it wasn't for him, by now they would have already escaped, not to mention...

  "Wu Bo, that's what he's called, Wu Bo, our senior fellow apprentice." Zhou Mo hastily said, turning his head to glare at Wu Yong. With a brain like that, not being bright, just saying a name would have been enough.

  "Wu Bo, the name itself doesn't sound like a good person. Now that he's done this, it's not surprising." Zhao Lin gritted her teeth, "Sisters, this place isn't big, let's search carefully and we'll definitely catch him."

  "Fine! That bastard, since he loves watching women so much, tie him up and throw him into the pigpen with that sow, let them keep each other company!"

  "These two shouldn't be let off either, they're birds of a feather, throw them into the pigpen with that sow and have them communicate thoroughly. When they come out, they probably won't think about women in the same way again." Several people said this, looking at Zhou Mei and Wu Yong, Wu Yong's face suddenly turned white. If they really had to communicate with that sow, it would be better to just kill them directly, it would be more convenient.

  The disciples of Jade Maiden Peak dispersed and searched for a place to hide. The terrain here is flat, and in theory, one can see everything at a glance. Whether or not someone can be hidden is also obvious at first sight. However, they also thought that under such circumstances, Zhou Mu and the others would not dare to lie, so the thief must be hiding here, it's just that their secret method is too clever and hasn't been found by them yet.

  After a cup of tea, the surroundings were still empty, and there was no one hiding anywhere. At first, the female disciples were still indignantly searching, but now they couldn't find anyone, their momentum in their hearts was not to be underestimated, but they became even more enraged, looking at Zhou and Mo with increasingly malicious gazes. If they still can't find anyone later, they will definitely make these two look good.

  Li Moying stood still, her eyes having turned fiery red as she gazed around. Any living being with body heat could not escape her sight at this moment. However, under her gaze, there was no human figure hiding anywhere except for a few junior sisters and some pea-sized flying insects. Li Moying couldn't help but look at Wu Yong and the other person with some suspicion, but what they had said earlier didn't seem like lies. There must be someone hidden around. Otherwise, they would only bring greater punishment upon themselves by speaking in such a manner, which was unnecessary.

  "There's no one here, not even a ghost. Where can you hide? You two are idiots, and yet you're still trying to deceive people. I'll get ten sows for you, and feed you some wolf's bane!" Zhao Lin kicked Wu Yong in anger, her skirt flying open, revealing a flash of spring color. But Wu Yong couldn't see that now, only the pain from being kicked.

  "There really are people who have never deceived you." Wu Yong was about to cry, and in that wronged loud voice. That bastard clearly came out one step earlier than them, how could he disappear like this, can't even fly!

  "Keep talking, keep talking. Later I'll give you twenty sows, double the dose of tiger and wolf medicine! No, triple the dose, otherwise how can those sows be fed full?"

  Wu Yong's face turned pale, but thinking of the scene afterwards, he couldn't help but shudder all over, "I really didn't lie, brother, you say something, that bastard is really here."

  Zhou Mo also had a hard time swallowing this, the group of women were too overbearing, and if they were punished later, it was likely that one death would not be enough to get past it. It could be said that whether or not they could find another person, their crimes would not be reduced by much. But Zhou Mo was unwilling to give up, if those people suffered such punishment, then the other person should also accompany them, otherwise how could he swallow this grievance?

  "There are indeed people, and I ask each of you sisters to search again. Being driven away like that, I'm sure you're not willing either. The fate of the two of us has already been decided, there's no need to deceive you."

  Many female disciples looked at Zhou Mu, and this remark did make some sense. However, they had searched carefully before and found no one hiding, so even if they wanted to search again now, they didn't know where to start.

  "Isn't it Wu Bo who has again rushed into the formation?"

  "It's impossible. The siege this week has been completely locked down by us, even if you want to come in, it's not possible, unless you break through with brute force. But if you really break through with brute force, there is a gap somewhere, but when we came out, where was the gap?"

  "That's what I'm saying, is there really someone hiding around us? It's driving me crazy, or does Wu Bo have some special secret method to hide silently around us? Li Shijie, have you ever heard of such a secret method existing?"

  Li Mò Yǐng hesitated, "This kind of secret method naturally exists, but to learn such a secret method, one must have the cultivation level of a sixth-rank sect master. Otherwise, even with the secret manual, you can only learn the surface and it's impossible to escape our search."

  "That's what they said, but it seems those two bastards were just playing us. How infuriating, we spent so much effort and found nothing." The group of people angrily pounced on Zhou Mei and the other person, beating them wildly.

  Xiu's cultivation was sealed by Li Mianying, and at this moment, Zhou Mo and the others were also suppressed by ordinary people. How could they withstand the tearing of these mother tigers? However, in an instant, the two had scratches and blood on their faces, looking particularly miserable.

  Wu Yong's cry was the most miserable, but after being kicked in the lower body with a ruthless foot, his voice was reduced to humming. What was originally a male duck-like sound had now mutated into that of a female duck.

  "I'll use that brute force to take another look, if not, I'll settle these two and then hand them over to the master." Li Mò Yǐng said, pointing one hand towards the sky. The surrounding burning fire ring suddenly shook violently, followed by a wave of scorching hot air sweeping in from afar, gathering at Li Mò Yǐng's fingertips.

  The breath swept over the surroundings, not even a grain of sand was spared, but except for that icy mountain stone and some ants, what else was there, not even something to raise any suspicion.

  Li Mò Yǐng furrowed his brow, and the flame at his fingertips suddenly enlarged to the size of a washbasin. It then flew towards a distant boulder that was over a person tall, surrounded by other rocks about half a person high.

  A loud explosion, the mountain rocks shattered in response, but apart from the flying stones, there was nothing else. The female disciples let out a sigh of disappointment, and indeed they had been deceived, for no one had ever hidden here. Thinking of this, the crowd beat Zhou Mu and another person again until they were tired.

  "Li Shijie, why don't you come up and kick a few times?"

  "No need, beating them would only make them suffer physical pain. What's the point of that? Not worth it." Li Muying shook his head and turned to leave, seemingly no longer intending to deal with it.

  "Is that all you're going to do to the master?" The other female disciples asked uncertainly, but this seemed too light a punishment, and they didn't seem very willing. Some of the female disciples were furious in their hearts and wanted to cut off the two men's harmful things to prevent them from harming other women in the future.

  "Master has already fallen asleep, now is not suitable." Li Mianying's voice gradually became smaller. "Directly throw them into that pigpen, the few demon pigs inside are now very noisy. Give these two people some medicinal pills to make those demon pigs quiet for a few days."

  As soon as the words came out, there was a silence around. Zhao Lin's previous proposal was just a joke, but unexpectedly Li Muying actually took it seriously. Moreover, the pigpen to be thrown away is still the place where the pig demon is raised, and that pig demon is more vigorous than the pigs in that family, even if it is the male pig demon, sometimes it cannot serve at the time of the female pig demon.

  Zhou Mo's face turned completely pale, and Wu Yong even fainted. He would rather believe this was a dream than face this cruel reality.

  The female disciples looked at each other, and one of them suddenly giggled and said: "Since Sister Li has spoken, we will do as she says. The problem is that the Dan medicine for human consumption is not available in the peak, only the medicine for feeding the male pig demon, what do you think?"

  "Now that it's serving the female pig demon, with these two bodies, ordinary elixirs probably won't work. Let's use the pig demon's medicine instead, it should be able to hold on for a while longer."

  As soon as the words came out, even Zhou Mu, who was the strongest, directly fainted. This kind of cruel and inhumane torture method made Zhou Mu rather die. But now that his cultivation is sealed and he is surrounded by so many people, wanting to die is not a simple matter.

  After discussing a good plan, the female disciples took the two away and restored the surrounding formation to normal. However, in just a moment, this place was empty of people, except for the charred ground and the burnt reeds, everything else seemed as usual, without any difference.

  An hour passed, and a gentle breeze blew. Beside the blasted rock, an extra person suddenly appeared, who was Li Meiqing, who had already left. Li Meiqing looked at the scene around her, slightly frowning, she always felt that Zhou Mo's two people did not lie, there must be someone else hidden around.

  So he went back and forth, not thinking that such a long time had passed, but there was still no reaction around him. The hidden body technique was very powerful, but the consumption was also huge. As Li Mianying thought, even if that person really had extraordinary wisdom and successfully cultivated the technique, it would be absolutely impossible to hide for so long.

  But now that there is still no one, it's really no one. Thinking that she was deceived again, Li Muying's heart was filled with anger, and she kicked a stone beside her with one foot, revealing a little girl's appearance. However, since there was no one around, and no one saw Li Muying's current charm, it was a pity.

  A flash of fire, and Li Muying disappeared into the original place, and the surroundings returned to calm. One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, and no one appeared here again. It seemed that Li Muying would not come over again.

  The moonlight was obscured by the dark clouds, and suddenly a figure appeared on the empty ground. It seemed to appear out of nowhere, without any warning signs beforehand. The only clue was that a stone block about half the height of a person had disappeared beside him, which was exactly the one Li Muying had kicked in anger earlier.
