"Why, doesn't the slave family look like this? It's a long night, young man, how are you going to compensate for the loss of my shop?"
The young woman walked slowly and looked at Chai Jiangcui with a provocative expression. A restless hand even touched her cheek.
Snapped--
He slapped the landlady's cold hand away with a palm, a flash of light flashed, and the Water Moon Sword was placed directly on her neck.
The unstoppable sword intent penetrated the ghost energy along the way, leaving a deep gash in the smooth neck.
Feeling the raging sword energy in her body, the young woman's face suddenly stiffened. She was no longer as charming as before.
She suddenly realized that the cultivator in the early stage of refining the gods in front of her, who seemed to be at the mercy of others, seemed to have the strength to kill her easily.
"Tell me, how do you pretend to be mortals? Think about it before you answer."
Chai Jiangcui saw the change in the boss lady's expression completely. Sure enough, for such a cunning ghost, no matter how many nice words you say to her, it is far less effective than the threat of strength.
After briefly glancing at the Shuiyue Sword that was very close at hand, the young woman immediately fell to her knees on the ground and swallowed:
"Taoist Master, have mercy on me. Although the slave family is a ghost, they have been running the inn properly. All the bad things are done by these two corpses. The slave family has no idea about it..."
The voice became more and more aggrieved, and when she talked about the sad part, the young woman started sobbing directly, her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried so hard.
The half-undressed clothes on her body had completely fallen off at some point, revealing a beautiful, snow-white body.
But it is a pity that Chai Jiangcui is also a woman and has no interest in this kind of performance.
What the young witch did was a show of coquettishness for a blind man to see, and her work was in vain.
"Haha! Just listen to what you have to say for yourself. Answer my question quickly. Also, I'm not interested in women."
As if to show the authenticity of Chai Jiangcui's words, the Water Moon Sword once again approached a little closer, and a large amount of terrifying sword energy spilled out and continuously impacted the ghost body.
The sword energy cuts through the ghost's body, and for the female ghost, it feels like she is suffering from Lingchi's pain all the time.
"Ah! It's not that the Taoist Master doesn't want to say it, it's because he really can't say it! Please forgive me, Taoist Master, please have mercy on me. I am a ghost slave serving the Taoist Master..."
The young woman huddled up in a ball in pain and burst into tears.
"It's a lot of nonsense. If you don't want to say it, then you can't blame me."
Chai Jiangcui didn't believe a word of the young woman's explanation. Since she refused to speak, he would torture her until she spoke.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Chai Jiangcui looked at the fan on the ground with a gloomy face and remained silent.
The innkeeper's wife's mouth was not as hard as she thought, and after more than ten minutes of torture, she let go.
The first few simple questions were all answered smoothly. But just when the young woman was about to reveal the key information, her soul suddenly collapsed instantly without any warning.
The soul dissipated so fast that even Chai Jiangcui, who was always paying attention to her condition, had no time to stop her.
"Is it a spell or a contract? I don't know if the death of this female ghost has alerted the forces behind it."
After picking up the fan and looking at it carefully for a moment, Chai Jiangcui felt a little irritated for no reason. The bad things in Hongling City were really happening one after another.
No matter whether we find anyone or not, we have to leave immediately tomorrow morning. This muddy water in Hongling City will definitely not flow if it can't flow.
Secretly making up his mind, Chai Jiangcui untied Zhang Danian's restraints on the chopping board with a sword, and regardless of his situation, he ducked back to the guest room.
Now that he has decided to escape, it doesn't matter what information Zhang Danian knows.
When the young woman showed up before, she specially sealed the kitchen with ghost energy. This invisibly did Chai Jiangcui a big favor. The battle in the kitchen did not disturb anyone upstairs.
Because he was worried that the forces behind the female ghost would come to retaliate, Chai Jiangcui did not practice all night, and his spiritual consciousness was at its maximum coverage. The blood-containing thunder bomb in his hand was also in a state of being ready to be activated at all times.
Fortunately, the entire inn was quiet until early in the morning, and no suspicious people approached.
At dawn, Gongsun Ji knocked on Chai Jiangcui's door.
"Friend Jiu Taoist, my technique is ready, let's set off now."
"Okay, then please ask fellow Taoist Gongsun to cast a spell."
Because they were worried, the two of them quickly left the inn without much communication.
"Applying spirits to find the way."
Gongsun Ji took out a paper bird containing spiritual power from his arms, pointed it with both hands, and gave an order. The silent paper bird shook, then flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
Gongsun Ji spoke up and explained to Chai Jiangcui:
"Fellow Taoist Master Jiu, this is the paper bird tracing skill that I obtained by chance. As long as you follow this paper bird, you can find Xiao Qiu."
"It looks pretty amazing."
Chai Jiangcui used his spiritual consciousness to explore the route of the spiritual power in the paper bird, and silently recorded it.
This technique is quite practical. If you can learn it, you might be able to use it in the future.
The paper bird did not fly very fast, and its route was very tortuous. The two followed the paper bird through the streets and alleys, and unknowingly arrived outside a high-walled courtyard.
The paper bird flew around a side door of the courtyard several times, crossed the wall and entered the courtyard.
"It seems that this monster is hiding in this mansion."
Seeing the paper bird disappear from his sight, Gongsun Ji and Chai Jiangcui looked at each other and cast spells to cross the wall at the same time.
The act of breaking into other people's private homes without permission has violated the laws of the Dayan Kingdom.
But first things first, this demon is hiding in the mansion. Maybe everyone in the mansion has been controlled by the demon at this moment. It would be too pedantic to pay him a visit.
After entering the compound, Chai Jiangcui immediately used his spiritual consciousness to detect the situation in the entire mansion.
The owner of this wealthy mansion, whose surname is Zhao, is Bo, the lord of Hongling City. There are more than fifty living people in the mansion at the moment. Although the sun has just risen, many servants and maids are already busy.
In the woodshed of the Zhao Mansion, a tall monster three meters tall, with muscles all over his body and a purple face, was sitting cross-legged.
Beside it, including Xiaoqiu, there were three disheveled practitioners lying weakly on the ground.
However, the layout around the woodshed is a bit thought-provoking.
Continuing to follow the paper bird calmly, Chai Jiangcui's eyes looking at Gongsun Ji became more and more playful.
Walking through the corridor, the paper bird suddenly hit the wooden door of the woodshed, and then its spiritual power collapsed and slowly fell to the ground.
"Friend Jiu Taoist, Xiaoqiu should be in this firewood shed. It will be up to you later.
"No problem, please wait a moment, fellow Taoist, I will cast a spell to force the demon out."
Chai Jiangcui smiled slightly, but had no intention of stepping forward, and directly cast the spell remotely.
Spiritual power surged, and in less than half a breath, a fire attribute thunderbolt the size of a bowl appeared in Chai Jiangcui's hand.
Seeing that the fire lightning ball was about to fly out, Gongsun Ji on the side suddenly became anxious.
"Fellow Taoist Master Jiu, my friends are still inside. If you blow them up, they may be in danger, so please be lenient, Friend Taoist!"
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. Fellow Taoist, just keep an eye on it."
Upon hearing Gongsun Ji's dissuasion, Chai Jiangcui laughed nonchalantly, fired the thunder ball in his hand, and flew toward the woodshed with a roar.
