Chapter 921: Surprise
“Xin Zhe, go to the east side of the village,” he ordered.
“Her Majesty asked me to follow you!” she replied expressionlessly.
“Thank you for your trouble!” Ren Baqian sighed and cupped his hands at her.
Li Yuanzhu chuckled and dived into the darkness in a flash.
After she left, Ren Baqian turned around to look at the people around him. All of them could fight very well, but unfortunately, none were useful.
There was one who was clearly here to watch him, one who might only wake up from sleeping after 100 years, and one who was stupid…
“Hey, can I ask something?” Lin Yue asked in a weak tone.
“Go ahead.”
“Why did you kick the door just now?” She felt pity for her toes. “My toes are swollen!”
Ren Baqian looked at Lin Yue before staring up at the sky. How should he answer this question?
Should he tell her that his mind twitched and caused him to act abnormally? Before asking why he kicked the door, why did she kick the door?
She waited for some time, but didn’t get her answer.
Persevering, she asked, “Why?”
Ren Baqian turned to look at her. He didn’t expect her to be so persistent this time.
He racked his brains and replied, “To test a conjecture!”
He originally wanted to tell her that a fist would hurt if it struck a wall due to the reactionary force. However, he didn’t expect her to simply acknowledge his response with an “oh” before leaving to continue thinking about it.
He felt depressed and sullen. It was as if he threw a punch into cotton. Although he knew that he would be able to make her leave with this response, why did he think so much?
They waited until the sky turned bright, but still didn’t see the pigeon that they anticipated. After deciding that it wasn’t worth it to wait any longer, they chose to seize the moment and visit some other sects.
“How did you obtain that Heaven-grade weapon?” Along the way, Li Yuanzhu finally had an opportunity to ask the question that she had been thinking about the whole night.
Ren Baqian had a deep look on his face as he answered, “It’s probably my talent! Although I haven’t attained the Spirit Wheel level, I have already condensed a Heaven-grade weapon.”
As he spoke, a metal chain emerged from his body like a spirit snake and coiled around her body.
It just happened to coil above and below Li Yuanzhu’s boobs.
However, it was useless!
She had to have boobs first!
Feeling a little humiliated and annoyed, Li Yuanzhu’s face changed slightly.
She didn’t care about the metal chain, but rather the location that it was coiled around.
She stared at Ren Baqian.
“My apologies! I’m not skillful enough!” he replied in embarrassment.
He had merely ordered the metal chain to coil around Li Yuanzhu’s body, but hadn’t chosen where. Furthermore, he wouldn’t take advantage of a flat-chested woman.
“A Heaven-grade weapon is condensed through the master’s state of mind. It’s just like an extension of the master’s hands and feet. A Heaven-grade weapon feels what the master is feeling as well,” she said with a bit of chill.
Even someone as calm and indifferent as her couldn’t help but get angry.
“Although I’m not Qi Zixiao and I will not kill you, I don’t mind breaking your hands and legs!”
“I didn’t do anything wrong! I picked these up. Otherwise, how would I have gotten them? Condense a Heaven-grade weapon? How would that be possible? Besides, have you seen anybody who has condensed two Heaven-grade weapons? Needless to say, I’m only at the Earth Wheel level!” Ren Baqian’s face changed as he immediately denied what he had just said. It was the first time he heard something like this.
“Picked them up?” Li Yuanzhu had an inexplicable look on her face.
“Yes, I really picked them up!” He nodded repeatedly. He really wouldn’t take advantage of her! The problem was she assumed that he had, so she was already holding herself back from killing him with one blow.
The person in front of Ren Baqian was the third most powerful expert in the world!
Xin Zhe? What was she doing? What was she writing in her notebook?
He took a long time trying to explain that he picked up these Heaven-grade weapons.
Judging from Li Yuanzhu’s expression, it was clear that she didn’t buy his story.
However, this was something that even Ren Baqian himself couldn’t explain clearly. After all, he wasn’t prepared to tell her about Earth.
Besides, she also didn’t understand why he had two Heaven-grade weapons and could only continue to wonder.
…
The Yun Nation, Heyun District, Misty Rain House.
The sects rarely stayed in the cities. Most resided on famous mountains, great rivers, or the wilderness.
This was the case for the Misty Rain House.
The ancestors of the Misty Rain House had expanded the sect in the past. Back when they were in their heyday, there were seven Spirit Wheel experts in the sect, and they were considered pretty formidable. However, the chief was the one and only Spirit Wheel expert in the sect today.
In spite of this, the Misty Rain House’s reputation was still pretty big.
The main thing was that all of the sect’s disciples were females and all of them had good figures. They always seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making others unable to see them clearly.
Although they were clearly standing there without any mist in the surroundings, they perpetually gave off this illusion.
People from ancient times had said it well: wearing clothes gave people greater aesthetic perception compared to being naked.
The disciples of the Misty Rain House were just the opposite. Even if they weren’t wearing clothes, they wouldn’t make one feel disappointed at all.
As such, the disciples of this sect had always been the targets of many young men from rich and mighty families.
Early that morning, a drawn-out sound broke the thin morning mist that shrouded the Misty Rain House.
“Guardian Su Ning, please come out and meet me!”
“Keep quiet outside the Misty Rain House!”
“Who is that?”
Figures flashed across as a few sexy women landed outside the Misty Rain House.
Ren Baqian took a glance with his hands behind his back. Although this Misty Rain House only had one Spirit Wheel expert, there were about eight Earth Wheel practitioners and numerous Man Wheel disciples as well.
Their foundation was definitely stronger than that of the smaller sects and gangs!
Their disciples were pretty good as well!
They looked good too!
They simply stood there without any obstructions, but their faces were shrouded with a layer of mist, and they looked mysterious. The Misty Rain House indeed.
More than 20 people jumped out with angry looks on their faces. Apparently, they were angry that someone dared to make a din outside the building.
“Who are you?”
“You are pretty gutsy to be making a commotion outside the Misty Rain House and asking for Guardian Su to see you!”
“Who are you? Have you sent a notice of visit?”
“Is this person out of his mind?”
“Who’s that Daoist nun? She’s so pretty!”
“He looks fierce… Doesn’t seem like a good guy!”
People from ancient times had also said that the noise a woman makes is equivalent to that of 500 ducks.
In the face of 10,000 ducks, Ren Baqian immediately felt unwell and understood what his baihus meant when they said that this place was noisy.
“I’m Zhao Prince Consort of Dayao. Why hasn’t Su Ning come out?!” he asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
This is the tenth day after leaving the Boat Gang. Ren Baqian and his people had visited 17 sects. All of those sects’ disciples who kept in contact with their chiefs had either disappeared or taken their own lives. None of them were spotted alive.
He knew that news of him coming to investigate had already been spreading, and as such, he wasn’t hiding anymore.
“Where is this madman from? What Zhao…” Someone interrupted before the woman could even finish her sentence.
“He’s Zhao Prince Consort of Dayao? He looks so handsome!”
“His head is so shiny—not an ordinary person indeed!”
“It looks like Zhao Prince Consort is here. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you!” Someone finally came out of the door to preside over the whole situation.
It was a pretty woman in her thirties.
She was thick in places that ought to be thick, but also where they ought to be slim…
Simply put, she had the figure of a bucket. However, she looked relaxed, and her voice sounded refreshing, not the slightest bit annoying.
“The Misty Rain House is full of little girls who know nothing about the outside world. They didn’t know of your arrival. With your magnanimity, please do not blame them!” That woman laughed.
“You are Su Ning?” Ren Baqian sized her up.
“My name is An Yiru. Guardian Su was supposed to come out and greet you, but she has been very ill these days. You will have to come in if you wish to see her.
However, please pardon my lack of observational skills. Could you please verify your identity, Sir?” She pleaded about her shortcomings with a smile.
Out of thin air, a silver spear appeared in Ren Baqian’s hand before vanishing again.
This thing worked better than any identification.
A warrior who had condensed a Heaven-grade weapon would naturally be well-known in this world and wouldn’t lie.
As for whether he truly possessed such strength, nobody dared to question it.
Sure enough, An Yiru’s gaze froze.
She then bowed shortly after and said, “I have been impetuous. Zhao Prince Consort, please come on in!”
As she waved her hand to both sides, everyone dispersed.
As Ren Baqian followed her into the Misty Rain House, she asked, “I wonder what Zhao Prince’s reason is for seeing Sister Su?”
“Where is your chief?” he asked.
“She has gone into seclusion in a hidden chamber and can’t be disturbed. I’m afraid that you can only wait until she is out to greet you and offer you a personal apology.”
Ren Baqian nodded. He didn’t want to see the chief anyway since the outcome would probably be similar to what had happened at the other sects.
For now, it was still more important to see this Su Ning,
“Wasn’t Su Ning fine just a few days ago? Why is she suddenly ill?” he asked faintly.
“Actually, Guardian Su has already been sick for a long time, but it has suddenly gotten serious recently. For more details, it’s better to have her explain it to you herself.”
An Yiru led Ren Baqian and his people inside. They had been walking for more than ten minutes. Both sides of the walkway were full of courtyards and embroidery houses, and the entire place was effeminate.
There would occasionally be young and pretty girls that greeted them from afar.
There was a beautiful woman with a slender figure who was extremely alluring. As she looked at them from a distance, she greeted them with crystal clear eyes and a smile on her face.
“This is Yuan Qingyi, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation in the Misty Rain House. She has been very grateful to you for how you have treated the captives. Someone must have told her since she specially came out to see you.” An Yiru chuckled.
“Oh?” Ren Baqian glanced at her and found that she looked truly outstanding. All men would be moved by her youthfulness and bashfulness.
Unfortunately, Xin Zhe was following him.
Huh? What are you doing Xin Zhe? What are you writing in that notebook?
The group took a few turns before arriving at a courtyard.
Then, An Yiru said, “Guardian Su looks a little scary when she’s sick. Please be mentally prepared!”
Ren Baqian nodded.
An Yiru stood outside a small building and continued, “She’s on the second floor. Please go up.”
As he raised his foot, An Yiru stopped the people behind him and warned, “Everyone, Guardian Su’s illness only spreads to women and not to men. If you want to enter, you have to make some preparations!”
Ren Baqian became a little curious. What kind of illness was only transmitted to women and not to men?
He stepped over the threshold and walked a few steps. The first floor of the building was full of scrolls. He glanced across a painting of a woman in red that he couldn’t take his eyes off of.
Although she simply stood there in the painting, it felt like a cold and towering mountain.
Ren Baqian recognized it with one glance. It was obviously the empress!
Why would there be a painting of her here?
The people outside saw him standing there and looking at the painting, but they weren’t bothered by it. Just as An Yiru brought some light muslin cloth for them to cover their faces with, an unforeseen event suddenly happened.
She exploded without warning, and blood rained all over the sky. Everyone subconsciously took cover. After that, several loud noises and vibrations came from the small building.
When they turned their heads, the entrance of the building was blocked by a black piece of metal plate that was 15 centimeters thick. It came falling from the inside.
“Not good! Danger!” In an instant, Li Yuanzhu launched her sword forward.
However, at that moment, a terrifying blade of air shot out of the wall, forcing her to turn around to dodge it!
Lin Qiaole, who was the fastest among them, slammed her body into a window next to the entrance.
Boom!
There wasn’t just one piece of metal.
The entire first floor of the small building was surrounded by metal plates!
Except for Ren Baqian, everyone else was stuck outside!
Xin Zhe’s face changed. Her skin began to turn so red that it was as if blood was about to ooze out of it. Her vigor started to rise as she repeatedly punched the metal plate at the entrance, each punch stronger than the previous.
After three punches, the 15 centimeter thick metal plate shattered.
However, the house was empty!
