Chapter 309: Chapter 265: Rich Rewards, Silent Gains, Yue Mountain Sword Sect, Serving Human Yellow_2

At this time, nightfall has gradually approached.

The wandering guests of Jianghu formed groups of threes and twos, but as the night deepened, fearing they might encounter the Black-Faced Bat King, they grouped into teams, with seven or eight people as a unit.

Li Xian, following the map, broke away from the crowd. He took Rofei Yan out of the mountains and wilds, sneaking into the eastern "Silk Family Town" of Brocade City.

From a distance, cotton bloomed for miles. The feng shui and climate here are very suitable for cultivating cotton, melons, and fruits. Li Xian thought, "Actually, just looking at the land and resources... Qiong Heavenly Mansion is wealthier than my previous life. There are many lands yielding three or two harvests, but most of the money flows into the pockets of the aristocratic families. In this regard, there is not much difference. Everyone is like this, whether a thousand or ten thousand years... it probably won’t change."

He noticed Rofei Yan was about to wake up again, promptly administering more anesthetic. Rofei Yan softly said, "Young Master Hua... where is this..." and then gently fell asleep.

Continuous doses of the anesthetic were becoming noticeably less effective. Li Xian estimated it would only keep her unconscious for half an hour. He needed to find a way to completely deal with Rofei Yan.

The small town was quiet. Shops closed at night, with only a few inns open. Li Xian first placed Rofei Yan safely, then rented a guest room alone. After climbing up and out of the window, he carried Rofei Yan into the guest room.

This way, they could avoid the attention of the waiter and shopkeeper.

The furniture in the room was all made of "golden silk wood," very luxurious. Li Xian rented it for three days, spending seven taels of silver. He was not affluent but intended to leave Rofei Yan there and would need the shop’s staff to run errands for him, thus demonstrating wealth to ensure he wouldn’t be neglected.

After placing Rofei Yan properly, Li Xian sneaked out of the inn to find something capable of tightly binding Rofei Yan, pondering, "I’ll tie her up first, keep her for a few days, then let someone find her. By that time, I will have already departed, blending into the vast crowd; who could possibly discover me?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Martial Artists’ cultivation realms incorporate rhythms into their bodies, drawing closer to the heavens and earth. A Second Realm Martial Artist has many techniques, making it very difficult to bind and capture them. Ordinary hemp ropes, though tenacious... due to being simple in material, have many techniques to break free from.

It’s feared that binding wouldn’t hold for long.

Li Xian roamed the town, contemplating on how to confine Rofei Yan to extend his escape time. Passing by a lake, he saw a gang’s hall.

The plaque bore the three big characters "Pan Tiger Gang," with dragons and phoenixes dancing in a mighty display.

Li Xian thought, gang fights are brutal with complex forces; killing is commonplace, but kidnapping and coercion also occur frequently. Thus, many gangs have distinct techniques for capturing people.

Perhaps there is "Tiger Tendon Rope" or the like.

He then stealthily climbed the wall and sneaked inside.

The hall was guarded, with people patrolling in groups of three and five. They were ordinary, having practiced a few martial arts moves and nourished some minor Inner Qi, but had yet to reach the Food Essence Realm. Despite these small gangs wielding authority for many years, they cannot be underestimated; one might find a few Essence-Eating Martial Artists among them.

Li Xian stepped lightly on Seven Stars Step, employing the secrets of Light Technique. His body was light and ethereal, landing soundlessly. He saw that behind the hall was a courtyard with red flowers and green trees, full of vitality, with views of lakes and rockery... Extremely luxurious and extravagant in spirit.

"Such extravagance; who knows how much wealth from the people they exploit. In this world, drought kills by drought, flood kills by flood."

Li Xian moved agilely, spotted a residence. Inside, there was laughter and chatter, and flirtation between men and women, chasing and teasing each other. Li Xian surmised it must be that kind of frivolous matter, raised an eyebrow lightly, and opened his heavy pupils to watch. The leader of Pan Tiger Gang, big-bellied but already at the Food Essence Realm, was playfully chasing and teasing several concubines.

Their clothing was disheveled, quite revealing. The room contained various tools, shocking to see.

Li Xian sighed, unsure whether in envy or lament. He turned his gaze away, searched through the prison, storage rooms... and other places. In a dungeon, he found a ten-foot-long Tiger Tendon Rope.

It was very old. The tigertendons had lost their elasticity but were very tightly tied. This kind of rope holds the ability to "seal sinews and lock bones." Once tightly bound, sinews cannot move, bones cannot shift, naturally rendering one immobile... even if skilled in bone shrinking techniques and the like, it would be hard to escape. Li Xian figured it was more than sufficient, hence returned quickly to the inn’s guest room.

While Rofei Yan was snoring in her sleep, he fitted the Tiger Tendon Rope using the technique of "Silk Clothing," crisscrossing the rope. Wrist and elbow, ankle and knee, were all secured tightly, then folding her limbs back, he tied them securely together.

By then, she was extremely disheveled.

Silk Clothing is a delicate method, the tiger tendon rope as thick as a finger, quite different from "Silk Jade Rope." It’s difficult to achieve the degree where only the "Silk Clothing" is visible, and not the rope knots. Due to the difference in rope quality, certain complex knots couldn’t be used. Yet it was still indeed good enough.

Rofei Yan frowned slightly, but the drug’s effect still persisted.

Li Xian suddenly thought, "When she wakes up and realizes the situation, she will surely shout and cry, want to tear my skin and eat my flesh."

While at the Pan Tiger Gang’s hall, he casually took a few walnuts. He pried open her lips and stuffed walnuts into her cheeks. Reasoning she couldn’t spit out the walnuts, hence unable to speak. Then he put her into the bed, covering her with bedding for disguise.

Rofei Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, showing signs of awakening.

Li Xian requested paper and pen from the waiter and wrote: "Miss Luo, farewell. Rest assured, I’m only leaving you here for a few days. Someone will naturally come to rescue you. Nobody knows our affair, and I hope you keep it confidential."

He tucked the letter securely on the desk, confident that with Rofei Yan’s vision, she could read the message.

Then he wrote another letter. Simply: "Black-Faced Bat King is in the Silk Family Town inn, come quickly."

After packing the letter, he handed it over to the waiter. Li Xian entrusted him with three taels of silver, solemnly instructing: "Send it to Luo Family in three days, this is extremely important. Once accomplished, there will be ten more taels of silver."
