Chapter 666: Playing a Pig
"Who is there?" One of the intruders asked in a voice filled with panic.
"Did you think we were asleep?" Jiang Yue asked and chuckled.
At the same time, he waved his hand, and the night pearl lit up.
"Why..." One of the eight started but couldn’t find his voice.
"Why did you come to our room?" Yu Nianzhen asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"The Happy Tree Inn is my property, and I can go wherever I want." A young man said with a contemptuous expression.
The sudden situation initially frightened him.
However, after calming down, he realised that he had nothing to worry about.
After all, the Happy Tree Inn was his territory, and he had more people than the opponent. Most importantly, his grandfather was a late-stage nascent soul realm cultivator and the lord of Yunlan city.
Thinking this, Liu Minghui raised his chin with a proud look.
’What can you do to me?’ He thought and sneered.
"Lie down if you know what’s good for you." He ordered, but who were Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue?
As soon as the words fell, a sword intent needle flew from Yu Nianzhen and pierced Li Minghui’s tongue.
A moment later, the tongue turned into mist, and bloody water filled his mouth.
"You..., you..., what did you do?" One of the others screamed in horror.
"You dare to lay a hand on him..., do you know who he is?" Another asked and subconsciously stepped back.
"Isn’t he the grandson of the city lord? What’s the big deal?" Jiang Yue asked and shrugged with a nonchalant expression.
"You know he is the city lord’s grandson, and you still made a move?" A female cultivator accused, but Jiang Yue sneered.
"We would make a move even if his grandfather was here." He said.
"Wait..., you are hiding your cultivation." Someone suddenly realised.
After all, Li Minghui was a level nine origin tempering realm cultivator.
Considering that, how could a qi transformation realm cultivator sever his tongue in one move?
"You are right, but there is no prize, only punishment."
After saying that, Jiang Yue waved his hand, and the eight people’s eyes lost focus.
"Brother Liu, the young miss of the Nangong family has come to our Yunlan City. Do you want to lure her to the Happy Tree Inn?" One of the eight shouted.
"That bitch dares to reject me? See how I deal with her." Another shouted.
"So what if he has a Taoist partner? He still has to lie down when he meets this young lady."
"Brother Liu, brother Song, let’s do it together. I bet she will like it when we fill all her holes."
Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but be disgusted when they heard what the eight were saying.
"They don’t deserve to live." Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen didn’t argue.
"We will kill them, but let’s not do it right away." The swordsman said, and Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" He asked.
"Killing them will cause trouble." Yu Nianzhen started and quickly continued.
"Although we are not afraid of trouble, I think it will be much easier to find the missing people if the culprits believe we are weak."
"You want to be kidnapped?" Jiang Yue asked, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"It’s the easiest and fastest way to find the missing people." The man said, and Jiang Yue understood.
"I am already an immortal king, and my illusion skills are not what they used to be. I will plant a thought in their minds. Let them kill themselves after we go missing." He said, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
After that, Jiang Yue planted the thought and let the people return to their rooms as if nothing happened.
The following day, the two left the inn and began walking around.
[We are still being followed.] Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
[Let’s lead them to a secluded alley.] He said.
[Fight them or let ourselves be robbed?]
[How can two qi transformation realm cultivators fight origin tempering realm robbers? We naturally have to be robbed and accidentally injured. This will give the other groups a chance to capture us.] The swordsman suggested, and Jiang Yue chuckled.
[Am I the actor or are you the actor?] He asked, and Yu Nianzhen smiled with a doting expression.
[You have rubbed off on me.] The man said, but suddenly turned serious.
[We wouldn’t have to go to so much trouble if we weren’t afraid that something would happen to the missing people. We would be stained with too much cause and effect if the culprits kill them because of our reckless actions.] He said.
[I know.] Jiang Yue nodded.
It wasn’t difficult for him and Yu Nianzhen to kill their way to the truth.
However, they didn’t dare to be reckless since they didn’t know the missing people’s whereabouts or their current situation.
[Let’s hope that the culprits will take this chance to abduct us.] Jiang Yue said.
Soon after, the two entered a remote alley and were directly robbed.
However, the two were prepared, and what was robbed belonged to the eight people, including Liu Minghui.
This way, when the city lord investigated Liu Minghui’s death, he would find the thieves, and even if they didn’t die, they would lose a layer of skin.
The play went as scripted.
After being robbed, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen pretended to be injured and collapsed on the ground.
An incense stick later, they heard arguing, but the noise soon stopped, and the two were put in a large sack before being teleported away.
’No wonder the missing people couldn’t be found. It turns out they were teleported out of Yunlan city.’ Jiang Yue thought and waited patiently for what would come next.
Soon after, he and Yu Nianzhen were removed from the sack and kicked ’awake’.
However, the two didn’t immediately react to the kick and were using their divine sense to check the surroundings.
[We seem to be in an underground mine.] Yu Nianzhen transmitted.
[There are more than one hundred thousand slaves in this mine, and all are restrained with the qi sealing poison.] Jiang Yue said and narrowed his eyes.
