HLnovel Chapter 263
Chapter 263
As soon as I stepped onto the second floor of the Jinding Building, the scene in front of me suddenly became dark, and a slightly cool breeze blew over me.
Yu Xi looked up and saw that what should have been the ceiling above his head had now turned into the night sky, filled with stars.
Looking back, you can see that the front is full of lit lanterns. Lanterns with various patterns of monsters painted on them divide the road into countless lanes. Many people are gathered at the entrance of the lantern array, excitedly discussing how to get out of the lantern array.
To go upstairs, it seems that you have to go through this formation.
Zun Jin looked around and quickly found the entrance to the light array with few people. He pulled Yu Xi flexibly through the crowd and headed straight for the entrance.
At the entrance of the light array, there is a monk standing with his arms folded. Those who want to go upstairs but cannot get out of the light array can give money to the monk and ask him to take them out of the light array.
However, the main purpose of this light array is for people to have fun. It is not too difficult to set up and there is no danger. As long as you are not in a hurry and walk a few times and spend a few hours, you can always get out. Therefore, few people spend money.
But when Yu Xi and Zun Jin came over, they saw a couple in ragged clothes kneeling on the ground, praying to the monks guarding the entrance:
"Immortal, please be kind. We really don't have that much money. This silver hairpin is already our most valuable item..."
The woman was holding a silver hairpin in her hand, and her husband, who looked honest, was kowtowing to the monk.
The monk said impatiently, "Five taels of silver, that's my price, not a cent less. If you want to go upstairs a few more times, just go a few more times. There's no need to get in the way here. If you make any more noise, I'll have you thrown out."
As he was speaking, a waiter hurried over. When he saw the two men, his expression changed. He hurried over to pull them up and said respectfully to the monk:
"Don't take it to heart, Immortal. There are so many guests, and there are always a few who don't follow the rules. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
The monk waved his hand, signaling the waiter to take the person away quickly.
But the couple was anxious and insisted not to leave at all. The woman struggled and pointed upstairs, saying, "Child, our child is upstairs. He was tied up there. We all saw it!"
As soon as these words came out, the people watching were stunned. However, the monk narrowed his eyes, sneered, and walked directly towards the woman who was speaking, as if he was about to kick her:
"That's sheer nonsense! With the Yaotian Sect's people here, who would dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight? If you don't have money, you don't have money. Why are you pretending to be pitiful? How dare you smear the reputation of the Yaotian Sect? I think you have ulterior motives!"
[How did those guys do their job? They couldn't even kidnap a person properly, and yet they let these mortals see them!]
Yaotian Sect steals other people’s children?
Yu Xi frowned, seeing that the monk was about to kick someone, she was afraid that the woman's life would be in danger. She was about to step forward, but Zun Jin was one step ahead of her and shouted:
"and many more!"
At the same time, Zun Jin drew his sword and blocked the monk's legs with it.
She had no cultivation and was a mortal, but her sword seemed to be extraordinary. When it pierced into the ground, it caused a wave of spiritual power, and actually prevented the cultivator's kick from landing on the woman.
Without waiting for the monk to lose his temper, she took out a gold coin from her sleeve pocket without hesitation and said to the monk, "I'll pay their five taels of silver. There's no need to attack them anymore, right?"
The monk was stunned for a moment, looked up and down at Zun Jin, then looked at the couple behind Zun Jin who were already frightened and pale, and then he made a "tsk" sound and took the gold from Zun Jin's hand.
Forget it, they are just a few ants. It is not easy for him to kill them with so many people around.
What's more, even if they went upstairs, they would not be able to find anyone. He made a fortune for free, and there was no need to take action here.
He had no intention of giving Zun Jin more money.
But when he wanted to reach out and take it, someone didn't want him to take it.
Just as he stretched out his hand, his leg was suddenly kicked hard by something. His center of gravity shifted, his head dropped down, and he was kicked and spun twice in the air like a windmill, and then fell heavily to the ground.
His head hit the ground with a dull sound that was painful to hear.
"Damn it! Who is it?!"
He held his head, dizzy and trying to get up from the ground, roaring angrily.
Who would have thought that just as he looked up, his neck suddenly tightened and his vision focused, and he saw a little guy standing in front of him, who was not even as tall as his legs, grabbing his collar and dragging him forward an inch.
"Did you see who hit you?"
Yu Xi tilted her head and asked with a smile.
Her smile was so bright that the monk was stunned for a moment and nodded stupidly. The next second, Yu Xi raised her hand and slapped him. Although her hand was small, the air was shaken and the monk flew out in an instant, hitting the wall not far away and his life or death was unknown.
Yu Xi let out a breath and saw that the other cultivators of Yaotian Sect were about to come over here after seeing their companions being beaten. Yu Xi gave them a look and the pressure descended. The faces of the cultivators changed drastically in an instant and they were unable to move.
Golden Elixir cultivation?
A Jindan cultivator at such a young age? !
"Hey, man, he provoked me. Send him back to the Yaotian Sect and tell him to contact Murong Ke of the Xuyun Sect if there's any problem!"
Yu Xi was very spoiled when she said this, with her hands on her hips, looking like a spoiled girl who didn't know her place.
Some cultivators from the Yaotian Sect were already furious, but given the gap in strength, they couldn't possibly be disrespectful to Xi.
After all, according to their cultivation level, it is appropriate for them to call Yu Xi Master or Elder!
"What is your relationship with Murong Ke?!" A cultivator asked hurriedly as he watched his companion being taken away.
Yu Xi sneered, raised his chin arrogantly, and looked down with disdain, as if he was looking at something cheap:
"My last name is Murong too, what do you think?"
Leaving an answer that could easily be misunderstood, Yu Xi pulled Zun Jin into the light array, and before entering, he did not forget to signal the two couples to follow.
This kind of light array was a piece of cake for Xi, but after walking for a while, he successfully found the exit.
Perhaps to create a scary atmosphere, the lights at the exit are painted with many scary and ugly monsters.
But what was strange was that Yu Xi had never seen these monsters before.
They look like foxes, but they are covered with eyes and look like man-eating beasts.
Yu Xi subconsciously asked Zun Jin beside him, "What are these monsters? Why haven't I seen them before?"
"You haven't seen him before?" Zun Jin was stunned: "This is the fourth young master of the demon clan?"
"Who?"
"Yu Xi, you don't know? That old monster who eats people without blinking an eye, is said to be extremely ugly, loves to eat children, and has practiced for a thousand years. Children nowadays are afraid of her and can cry at the mere mention of her name."
Yu Xi:?
