Chapter 121: Chapter 120 Sending You on Your Way (Requesting Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

For him, it was naturally more appropriate to save the soul energy to enhance the Vajra Glazed Body.

With this thought in mind, Bai Ziyue continued on his way without stopping.

However, very soon, Bai Ziyue’s steps gradually came to a halt, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

This trip, escorting the goods, Bai Ziyue originally came to repay the favor of Hou Linkun, but everything that happened afterward made his heart turn cold.

"If I were just an ordinary External Forging Martial Artist, this time, I really wouldn’t be able to come back.

Even without the incident of killing Zhang Yuchang for corpse refinement in the middle, since Ghost Head Stronghold decided to tear up the deal, they would never let me come back.

So, what role did Hou Linkun play in this matter?"

As Bai Ziyue pondered, the killing intent in his eyes gradually grew stronger.

He knew that regarding this deal, Hou Linkun and his steward were definitely aware of it.

And knowing that this operation was so perilous, yet still deliberately keeping it from him, their motives were quite thought-provoking.

Bai Ziyue chose not to return directly to the city, knowing that Hou Linkun had surely already sent people to watch at the city gate to see if he would return safely.

Even on the water route, they must have dispatched personnel to observe.

If he returned safely, they wouldn’t take any adverse actions against him, but they would surely have follow-up measures to dispel his doubts, even using threats to coerce him into their plans.

When it came to scheming, even though Bai Ziyue was far more mature than his peers, he was still no match for an old fox like Hou Linkun.

However, Bai Ziyue never thought of dealing with him with false pretenses.

Since the other party dared to plot against him, they naturally had to bear the consequences of their failed plot.

So, Bai Ziyue simply decided not to enter the city for now.

Rather than exposing himself to the other party’s inevitable successive schemes, it was better to stay hidden, making it easier to act.

Night gradually fell.

Perhaps the commoners sensed the tense atmosphere recently, the flow of people entering and exiting the city gate was much less than usual.

As the hour arrived, and no one was in sight on either side of the city gate, a soldier gave a shout, and two soldiers slowly closed the city gate, bolting it shut officially.

Seeing the city gate completely closed, the soldiers gradually left, and a limping figure swiftly headed into the city from behind a stone pedestal.

However, at this time, they didn’t notice a giant eagle appeared in the sky at some point.

The eagle hovered briefly, then shot past the city gate like a flash of lightning, diving deep into Qinghe Town.

...

"Are you sure that Bai Ziyue hasn’t returned until the city gate closed?"

In Hou Linkun’s courtyard, before Mr. Hou spoke, his steward asked sharply.

"Yes, Master Xu, I’ve been watching since noon. If Bai Ziyue had returned, I would have recognized him.

I’m sure he hasn’t returned yet."

Below, Sunx Neng said with great certainty.

"Alright, I know, you may go down."

Above, Mr. Hou nodded calmly.

"You know what to say and what not to say, don’t you? No need for me to teach you, right?"

Steward Xu warned coldly, his eyes filled with icy menace.

"Yes, I understand, I don’t know anything."

Sunx Neng had already sensed something, his heart trembled, and he nodded repeatedly.

Watching Sunx Neng leave, Hou Linkun smiled and said, "That Sunx Neng may have no other skills and a very small courage, but his mouth is quite tight. He won’t interfere in anything that doesn’t concern him.

Don’t worry, even if he discovers something, he wouldn’t dare say anything, besides, he hasn’t discovered anything yet."

"Master, I understand his character. That’s why I entrusted him with the surveillance. But..."

Steward Xu paused and then continued, "Since Bai Ziyue didn’t return through the city gate, and the people at the waterway also reported not seeing him, then this trip..."

"Wait a bit longer!"

Hou Linkun said solemnly.

The scene fell silent again, and Steward Xu retreated.

About an hour later, Steward Xu reappeared in the room, his voice slightly anxious as he said, "Just got the news, the mountain stronghold in the reed marsh was leveled.

Flames erupted and have not been extinguished yet.

Moreover, Water Immortal and his group never returned after leaving, probably doomed.

If that’s the case, Bai Ziyue is likely to have suffered the same fate."

"Really? As expected of Ghost Head Stronghold, ruthless as always.

This time, they came to me initially. It’s good that I pushed it to Water Immortal, or else we’d all be in trouble.

As for Bai Ziyue, he’s just unlucky.

If he were still alive, I wanted to use this incident to fully bring him under my control as a sharp blade."

Hou Linkun’s tone carried a hint of regret but also a sense of relief and a feeling of controlling life and death.

"He just isn’t blessed enough.

If he hadn’t refused the master’s orders before, he wouldn’t have met this end."

Just losing the title of outstanding disciple, at least he can still live; the master has given him benefits.

Now, he is dead, and that title will most likely fall on Young Master Li in the end. How sad indeed."

Steward Xu promptly flattered Mr. Hou, showing a look of deep regret.

"Hmph, having done so little and already wanting to escape my control? Where is such good fortune?

It’s fine this way; tomorrow, you can go report to Left Guardian that Bai Ziyue is dead. I believe he will be very happy to hear this news."

Hou Linkun ordered.

"Really?"

At that moment, an icy voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Who?"

Steward Xu’s face changed dramatically, standing up instantly.

Hou Linkun’s aged body trembled, looking increasingly grim.

"Bai Ziyue, you’re not dead?"

Looking at the figure stepping into the room, Steward Xu’s face was full of disbelief.

"Seeing me safe, you are genuinely surprised."

Bai Ziyue shook his head, speaking with emotion.

He hadn’t anticipated that just as he flipped into Hou Linkun’s mansion, he would overhear their conversation, resolving all his doubts.

"Not a surprise, but a delight.

We didn’t expect such a big twist in what was supposed to be a normal transaction.

We even stationed people at the city gate and on the river surface, and now seeing you return safely, we are certainly happy.

Come, come, it’s still early; let me have a meal prepared to welcome you back."

Having faced many storms, Hou Linkun quickly calmed down, speaking promptly, his aged face full of sincerity.

"Such a sharp tongue, turning black into white."

Bai Ziyue scoffed, saying, "I, Bai Ziyue, am not the ungrateful type; during my struggling times, I did owe Mr. Hou. willing to repay the favor.

But unfortunately, goodwill turned worthless."

"What do you intend?"

Hou Linkun’s heart sank, realizing Bai Ziyue had overheard their entire conversation, he stopped pretending, speaking harshly.

"Bai Ziyue, I advise you not to act rashly, have you considered the consequences of fighting in the town?

Moreover, given your ability, do you think you can escape my grasp? Don’t think I’m just an ordinary steward."

Steward Xu’s tone was sinister, full of threat.

While speaking, his aura expanded; his imposing power surged, revealing a thick Qi and Blood Power, far exceeding the Peak of External Forging Martial Artists.

Inner Cultivation Realm, and not just like Zhang Bo who had barely entered it, but a Mid-stage Inner Cultivation Martial Artist who had refined his five organs and was starting to temper the six viscera.

"Really? But you’ve also underestimated me, Bai Ziyue."

Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, suddenly producing a cloth banner, shaking it slightly.

Instantly, a thick Yin Attribute Power spread, enveloping the entire hall.

"What is this? What’s happening?"

Steward Xu’s panicked voice echoed.

Entangled in Yin Qi, his eyes could hardly see, and he soon realized in horror that even his Qi and Blood Power was slowly diminishing under the continuous assault of the Yin Qi.

"Ma...Magical Artifact? Is this a Magical Artifact? You..."

Hou Linkun’s initially calm face changed drastically, turning immensely frightened.

A Magical Artifact, Bai Ziyue had control over a Magical Artifact, revealing his true identity.

Immortal Cultivator!

Bai Ziyue was an Immortal Cultivator?

"At least you have some knowledge.

Under the entanglement of Yin Qi, one cannot see or be heard, preventing others from noticing; it’s perfect for sending you away."

Bai Ziyue spoke leisurely, pulling out a scroll from his back.

"Aren’t you afraid of being found out? Many people saw you entering and exiting my mansion."

Hou Linkun’s face changed, speaking quickly, while fumbling on the side, soon picking up a pipe, carefully gauging Bai Ziyue’s position.

"No one will discover because I will officially enter the town tomorrow.

And your deaths will be attributed to a swordsman."

Bai Ziyue said, touching the scroll lightly.

It glowed briefly, then a swordsman with a blurry face, carrying a sword box, emerged.

As soon as the swordsman appeared, he vanished like lightning.

At that moment, Hou Linkun’s eyes turned vicious, a spark shot from the pipe, and a tiny Golden Needle suddenly exploded.
