“Xia Qingchen, where is this ship headed to?” Zhou Xuelin was put down and she covered up her torn clothes, her face flushed red.
“It should be the bandits’ headquarters.” Xia Qingchen’s gaze was deep.
Ahhh!
Zhou Xuelin’s face turned ghastly pale. “It’s over! We won’t have any chance of escaping now.”
“Escape?” Xia Qingchen pressed down his palm on the stone table, leaving behind a clear palm print. His gaze was extremely cold.
“It’s such a rare opportunity where the bandits have invited me onto their ship. Why would I want to escape?”
His plan of cultivating at the Myriad Longevity Manor had been destroyed by this bunch of bandits!
Breaking one’s cultivation path was like killing one’s parents!
Moreover, Xia Qingchen was anxious to reach his peak state and was even less tolerable toward people who disrupted his cultivation!
Xia Qingchen didn’t care how much havoc the bandits wrecked outside.
But since they had brought the trouble to him, then they could only consider themselves to be unlucky!
“What do you want to do?” asked Zhou Xuelin.
Xia Qingchen didn’t say anything. He only took a cup from the table and a bunch of wild grass.
The wild grass was what he had plucked from the Myriad Longevity Manor’s garden.
After he broke them up, he stuffed them into the cup.
“Let me borrow your hairpin!” Under Zhou Xuelin’s questioning gaze, Xia Qingchen took her hairpin and then started to grind down the grass with the pearl on the pin.
After an-hour-long worth of grinding, a cup of dark green liquid was left in it.
It emitted a slightly piercing scent.
“What is this?” Zhou Xuelin got closer and took a sniff.
Xia Qingchen covered her mouth and nose. “If you wish to become unconscious, you can continue smelling it.”
Xia Qingchen himself had used his inner force to seal up his mouth and nose.
As they spoke, Zhou Xuelin suddenly felt her vision turning black and she stumbled a little, almost falling.
After a while, she got herself together and quickly backed off, asking in surprise, “What level is this knock-out medicine? To think that its effect is so domineering!” The knock-out medicine sold in the market tended to only take effect from drinking it.
There weren’t any that would almost knock one out with just a sniff!
Moreover, the ingredients that Xia Qingchen took didn’t seem to be some kind of precious medicinal herbs.
“This is called the One-day Soul Scattering Powder. Its effect isn’t considered domineering. It can only be considered passable.”
The strongest knock-out medicine he had seen before didn’t even require sniffing. As long as it was scattered out, the people within his range of vision would be instantly knocked out.
Moreover, it didn’t matter what their cultivation level was!
That was what it meant to be domineering!
Since the ingredients used to make this One-day Soul Scattering Powder were very ordinary, its effect could only reach this stage.
“Wait here. Don’t go out.” Xia Qingchen covered up the cup, masked his face, and headed out.
Not long later, he secretly arrived in the wine cellar.
The bandits had clinched a great victory today, taking many students from the martial pavilion hostage. They’d definitely have a drinking party to celebrate the occasion.
He opened the wine lids, dripping only one drop into each vat.
He finished doing everything after the time taken for half an incense to burn. He then went back to the cabin without anyone noticing.
It hadn’t been long after he went back and someone knocked on his door. “Gather up, gather up. The second-leader is giving everyone a treat. Remember to bring your hostage along.”
“Play along according to the circumstances!” Xia Qingchen said to Zhou Xuelin.
The latter nodded, and her face turned red as Xia Qingchen carried her on his shoulder again.
Almost all of the 30 bandits had arrived in the cabin.
There was a huge metal cage in the center, and all the hostages were thrown inside.
Xia Qingchen also threw Zhou Xuelin into it and then took a seat at a corner of the long table.
Not long later, other than the helmsman and the people on the deck, the rest of the bandits were smiling happily as they crowded around the long table, talking about their takeaways for today.
Li Weifeng was the last to arrive. He sat at the end of the long table, smiling as he looked at everyone.
“It’s been tough on everyone. After we return to the island, the leader will give you the best rewards!”
Everyone cheered.
“We have to thank the second-leader for this operation. Without your planning, we won’t be able to take down the Myriad Longevity Manor!”
Li Weifeng waved his hand and said, “It’s what I should do! We can use the hostages that we’ve captured to threaten the Lone Cloud City into giving us what we want!” Hearing that, everyone felt very excited.
They had caught over 20 hostages, and these people were the most outstanding disciples in the martial pavilion’s current generation. They believed that the martial pavilion would definitely redeem them at all costs.
Wouldn’t they be able to get as much ransom as they wanted then?
“Other than money, I’ll be asking for something else from the martial pavilion in my own name.” Saying that, Li Weifeng’s gaze instantly became very sharp, filled with killing intent.
The bandits were all clear that there was only one goal Li Weifeng had when he decided to join them!
To take revenge!
“I want the martial pavilion to give me 100 human heads! The first one is the little b*stard called Xia Qingchen! As for the remaining 99 heads, it’ll be from everyone in the entire Xia Manor, including that old b*stard, as well as everyone else there!”
Li Weifeng clenched his fingers tightly together, his eyes radiating deep feelings of vengeance.
“I want the Southern Xia Manor to be completely wiped out, in memorial of my son who is in heaven!”
Many bandits revealed ferocious auras.
“We support the second-leader! Even if the martial pavilion doesn’t give in to the threat, we’ll sneak into the Lone Cloud City to help the second-leader kill everyone in the Xia Clan!”
“Kill everyone in the Xia Clan to take revenge!”
“Kill everyone in the Xia Clan!”
“Kill everyone in the Xia Clan!”
All the bandits roared out in unison, displaying great killing intent.
Xia Qingchen sat by himself in a corner, his gaze appearing calm.
However, there was an endless chill hidden under the calmness.
Kill everyone in the Xia Clan?
Haha!
“Come, brothers, let’s have a toast!” Li Weifeng raised his wine cup and emptied it in one gulp.
The remaining bandits all laughed as they toasted, finishing the cup of wine they had.
“Good one…” As Li Weifeng said this, he suddenly noticed Xia Qingchen, who was seated in a corner.
All the other bandits had already removed their red masks, and Xia Qingchen was the only one still wearing it.
Moreover, he hadn’t touched a single drop of the wine in front of him.
“Why aren’t you drinking? Are you dissatisfied with me? And why aren’t you taking off your mask?” Li Weifeng frowned, bellowing in displeasure.
Xia Qingchen played with the wine cup in his hand, saying calmly, “The wine, I won’t be drinking. The mask, I can remove.”
His tone caused Li Weifeng’s expression to change slightly, having a faint feeling that something was amiss.
“Who are you?” His gaze suddenly became as sharp as an eagle.
Xia Qingchen chuckled, removing the mask and exposing his face.
All the other bandits instantly found him unfamiliar.
“Did we have this person amongst us?”
“I don’t think I’ve seen him before!”
However, how could Li Weifeng possibly not recognize him?
It was him, the person who had ruined his family!
“Xia Qingchen!” Li Weifeng shot up, shouting furiously at this person whom he had been dreaming of cutting into pieces day and night!
It was just that he’d never expected that Xia Qingchen would be at the Myriad Longevity Manor as well!
Moreover, Xia Qingchen had also disguised as one of his subordinates, sneaking in under his watch!
“Tutor Li, I hope you have been well.” Xia Qingchen smiled.
Li Weifeng was stunned for quite a while before he ascertained that this person was really Xia Qingchen.
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!” Amidst his fury, Li Weifeng said these three words.
“Although I feel that you deserve ten thousand deaths, I have to admire you for your courage!”
Ordinary students would either be scared to death by the bandits or would attempt to flee. Who amongst them would dare to be like Xia Qingchen, disguising as one of them and mixing in?
With his tremendous guts, even he, as Xia Qingchen’s enemy, couldn’t help but feel admiration for him!
