âXia Qingchen, where is this ship headed to?â Zhou Xuelin was put down and she covered up her torn clothes, her face flushed red.
âIt should be the banditsâ headquarters.â Xia Qingchenâs gaze was deep.
Ahhh!
Zhou Xuelinâs face turned ghastly pale. âItâs over! We wonât have any chance of escaping now.â
âEscape?â Xia Qingchen pressed down his palm on the stone table, leaving behind a clear palm print. His gaze was extremely cold.
âItâs such a rare opportunity where the bandits have invited me onto their ship. Why would I want to escape?â
His plan of cultivating at the Myriad Longevity Manor had been destroyed by this bunch of bandits!
Breaking oneâs cultivation path was like killing oneâs parents!
Moreover, Xia Qingchen was anxious to reach his peak state and was even less tolerable toward people who disrupted his cultivation!
Xia Qingchen didnât 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!
âWhat do you want to do?â asked Zhou Xuelin.
Xia Qingchen didnât 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 Manorâs garden.
After he broke them up, he stuffed them into the cup.
âLet me borrow your hairpin!â Under Zhou Xuelinâs 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.
âWhat is this?â Zhou Xuelin got closer and took a sniff.
Xia Qingchen covered her mouth and nose. âIf you wish to become unconscious, you can continue smelling it.â
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, âWhat level is this knock-out medicine? To think that its effect is so domineering!â The knock-out medicine sold in the market tended to only take effect from drinking it.
There werenât any that would almost knock one out with just a sniff!
Moreover, the ingredients that Xia Qingchen took didnât seem to be some kind of precious medicinal herbs.
âThis is called the One-day Soul Scattering Powder. Its effect isnât considered domineering. It can only be considered passable.â
The strongest knock-out medicine he had seen before didnât even require sniffing. As long as it was scattered out, the people within his range of vision would be instantly knocked out.
Moreover, it didnât 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.
âWait here. Donât go out.â 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. Theyâd 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 hadnât been long after he went back and someone knocked on his door. âGather up, gather up. The second-leader is giving everyone a treat. Remember to bring your hostage along.â
âPlay along according to the circumstances!â 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.
âItâs been tough on everyone. After we return to the island, the leader will give you the best rewards!â
Everyone cheered.
âWe have to thank the second-leader for this operation. Without your planning, we wonât be able to take down the Myriad Longevity Manor!â
Li Weifeng waved his hand and said, âItâs what I should do! We can use the hostages that weâve captured to threaten the Lone Cloud City into giving us what we want!â Hearing that, everyone felt very excited.
They had caught over 20 hostages, and these people were the most outstanding disciples in the martial pavilionâs current generation. They believed that the martial pavilion would definitely redeem them at all costs.
Wouldnât they be able to get as much ransom as they wanted then?
âOther than money, Iâll be asking for something else from the martial pavilion in my own name.â Saying that, Li Weifengâs 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!
âI 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, itâll be from everyone in the entire Xia Manor, including that old b*stard, as well as everyone else there!â
Li Weifeng clenched his fingers tightly together, his eyes radiating deep feelings of vengeance.
âI want the Southern Xia Manor to be completely wiped out, in memorial of my son who is in heaven!â
Many bandits revealed ferocious auras.
âWe support the second-leader! Even if the martial pavilion doesnât give in to the threat, weâll sneak into the Lone Cloud City to help the second-leader kill everyone in the Xia Clan!â
âKill everyone in the Xia Clan to take revenge!â
âKill everyone in the Xia Clan!â
âKill everyone in the Xia Clan!â
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!
âCome, brothers, letâs have a toast!â 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.
âGood oneâŠâ 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 hadnât touched a single drop of the wine in front of him.
âWhy arenât you drinking? Are you dissatisfied with me? And why arenât you taking off your mask?â Li Weifeng frowned, bellowing in displeasure.
Xia Qingchen played with the wine cup in his hand, saying calmly, âThe wine, I wonât be drinking. The mask, I can remove.â
His tone caused Li Weifengâs expression to change slightly, having a faint feeling that something was amiss.
âWho are you?â 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.
âDid we have this person amongst us?â
âI donât think Iâve seen him before!â
However, how could Li Weifeng possibly not recognize him?
It was him, the person who had ruined his family!
âXia Qingchen!â 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 heâd 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!
âTutor Li, I hope you have been well.â Xia Qingchen smiled.
Li Weifeng was stunned for quite a while before he ascertained that this person was really Xia Qingchen.
âExcellent! Excellent! Excellent!â Amidst his fury, Li Weifeng said these three words.
âAlthough I feel that you deserve ten thousand deaths, I have to admire you for your courage!â
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 Qingchenâs enemy, couldnât help but feel admiration for him!
