My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 878 - 525: The Little Fox Remains Silent (Triple-Chapter Bonus) (Part 2)

In the gap after killing one Ghost General, other Ghost Generals immediately emerged in succession, surrounding him. Chen Yi charged toward them, and saw endless Ghost Soldiers emerging behind the Ghost Generals, swirling around him like a storm.

The black smoke billowed, and the chilly wind dissipated, yet still surged inexhaustibly, compressing the eye of the storm smaller and smaller. Chen Yi held only a wooden stick in his hand; though he had the Sword Gang and also used the Golden Light Technique, without knife or sword, and even less with talismans, his killing power was severely reduced. Meanwhile, Yin Yijian ceaselessly wrote, attempting to write him to death right here.

Most crucially, as time went on, it was certain that Ji Yuan from Baolian Temple would also arrive, and by then, whether the two of them could escape safely was uncertain.

The only thing he could do was to break out of the encirclement first.

Yin Yijian understood this reasoning as well; all he needed to do was delay.

Thud thud thud...

In the alley, there suddenly came the sound of hurried footsteps, along with the sound of armor clashing.

The Guard Army saw the city on fire and had been called over. Seeing Chen Yi almost break through the encirclement of Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals several times, Yin Yijian's face showed slight astonishment, but at this moment, he calmed his mind, waiting for reinforcements to arrive to execute the outlaws!

He was about to loudly issue an order.

The next moment, Chen Yi took a few steps up the wall and shouted loudly, "The White Lotus Evil People killed the governor! They drove the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals to kill the governor!"

Yin Yijian's Judge's Pen suddenly stopped in mid-air, his ears buzzing like a tide, and his mind paused in astonishment.

Had he become a White Lotus Evil Person?

In the distance, the leader of the Guard Army approached with his soldiers, the scales of their iron armor shining with firelight.

"Capture him!" The leader's roar tore through the night.

The White Lotus Sect was already seen as an evil cult by the government, employing the evil technique of driving Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals was even more commonplace, with Corpse Valley as an example; moreover, they often disguised themselves as Daoists. The leader decisively ordered Yin Yijian to be captured and took the lead in charging forward.

The moment the blade pierced through the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals, Chen Yi leaped atop a rooftop with remnants of tiles. As the tiles shattered beneath his feet, he saw that the leader of the Guard Army had closed in on Yin Yijian.

"Wait... I..."

The cold light fell like a full moon, interrupting Yin Yijian's words.

"Ah!"

Yin Yijian faced a blade head-on and resisted it, the cold wind rippling, causing his wound to reopen. He hurriedly stepped back, blood spewing from his mouth:

"I am a trusted aide of Anshan Gong Su Hongtao, not of the White Lotus Sect, not of the White Lotus Sect..."

Another blade came down, swifter than the last,

"Scoundrel, who colludes with the White Lotus Sect if not you?!"

...…...

"This vendetta shall be avenged!"

Yin Yijian's howl, before he dissolved into black mist, carried with the cold wind, as if it still lingered in the ear.

Chen Yi scratched his ear and flicked out the earwax.

Yin Yijian was a Judge in the Investigation Department, his true form was of a yin body. Though his Daoist yang body died and his yin body was wounded, it wouldn't dissipate into oblivion. However, regardless of whether his words of revenge were hollow, they were nearly equivalent to nonsense.

The black smoke still swirled in the distance, and the Bright Moon Hall still had bright flames. Under the pitch-black night, Chen Yi weaved through alleys, ensuring no one was following him before returning to the isolated courtyard of the inn.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw three graceful figures unexpectedly gathering to greet him. They had been waiting in the courtyard.

Yin Tingxue saw he was unscathed and sighed in relief. She was about to walk over quickly when a fragrant breeze passed by, and she saw Zhu E had already dashed into Chen Yi's embrace ahead of her.

"My lord!"

The Little Fox hesitated, unsure whether to step forward or step back.

Chen Yi hugged Zhu E, who buried her cheeks in his chest, seemingly trying to share his warmth.

"It's fine now; I've shaken them off. Did Miss Donggong bring you over?"

Actually, there was no need to ask. The stupid girl has always been unguarded with others, and since Zhu E had a close relationship with him, she must have brought her back to the inn's isolated courtyard at the first chance.

"It's good as long as my lord is safe," Zhu E whispered.

Chen Yi released her, glanced at Miss Donggong, who was looking on curiously with wide eyes, seemingly studying seduction techniques. His gaze shifted to the Little Fox, seeing her looking a bit awkward. Chen Yi let go of Zhu E, walked over, and patted her head,

"Go, prepare us some tea."

Yin Tingxue eased her stiff back, nodded, gave Zhu E a deep look, and then quickly went into the hall.

Zhu E looked a bit puzzled, then turned her head back. Chen Yi had already taken her hand, softly saying, "Come, let's sit and chat slowly."

Her body softened, leaning gently into his embrace; her side breast pressed close, feeling soft even through the cloth. Chen Yi's toes slightly lifted, yet his face remained unchanged.

Entering the hall, Yin Tingxue went to light the stove, temporarily absent, Chen Yi turned his head and saw Donggong Ruoshu walking in; he directly said, "Go back to your room. We have things to discuss."

"Oh." Miss Donggong nodded without objection and turned to leave.

Looking back at Zhu E, Chen Yi caught sight of the Square Land not far away, instinctively reaching out to seal off the Old Saintess's senses, then turned to hold Zhu E's waist.

Zhu E let out a soft moan, naturally collapsing into his arms.

"Aunt Zhu..." Chen Yi softly called.

Zhu E smiled gently; her lord still called her Aunt Zhu, learning from the Prince.

Zhu E couldn't help but feel he and the Prince did have some couple resemblance; she chuckled privately, wondering if it was the beauty in the lover's eyes or a kinship feeling, it's hard to say.

Chen Yi initially wanted to give a kiss but saw the Little Fox cautiously carrying a warm stove and hot water over, feeling embarrassed instead. He patted Zhu E's waist, signaling her to sit properly.

Her plump, soft bottom rested on his thigh. Chen Yi squinted slightly and said, "Long time no see...there's much I want to say. Let's talk about business first: how many people does the Divine Sect have in the city?"

"Not many. We've spread out to several places in Hu-Guang, mainly around Jinghuang South, which is the Changsha area."
