Chapter 160.2 The Incorrigible Zhu Yan (2/2)
Zhu Yan had already been captured once by Mo Sanshan; it had actually happened recently. The former was certain that his captor was not on Wang Ke’s side.
Oh crap! How did I fall into his hands? Zhu Yan was horrified as he watched the men reporting to Mo Sanshan.
"Hall Lord, we captured Zhu Yan!" one of the men said respectfully.
"Oh? How did you find him?" Mo Sanshan asked curiously.
"We don’t know, either. We had been combing the entire Dragon Cultivation Town to capture Zhu Yan over the past few months. Unfortunately, we found no traces of him when Wang Ke arrived in town! We kept watch in various places but it was no use. We even used the secret arts to search Wang Clan Manor, but Zhu Yan was nowhere to be seen!" another man said.
"I hear you," Mo Sanshan said with a frown, "I scanned Wang Ke’s place with my mind too but he wasn’t there. I only found a disgusting and monstrous-looking guy that really stung my eyes when I saw him. I didn’t see Zhu Yan anywhere! I was also wondering where he was hidden all this time!"
The man replied, "We’re just as confused, but we never let our guard down. Just as we were patrolling the streets, we saw Zhu Yan walking around with a lively attitude, so we seized the chance and captured him. It’s possible that we caught him right when he was arriving!"
Zhu Yan’s jaw dropped as he overheard their conversation. Damn, Wang Ke wasn’t lying?
There really were people searching for me? The cream that was destroying my face was actually working?
I got captured the moment I stepped out of his house… Why? Why am I so unlucky?
Mo Sanshan then walked toward Zhu Yan.
"Hehe, little guy, I was still monitoring Wang Ke’s moves when I suddenly received news that you got caught. We searched everywhere for you, but catching you today was actually effortless! Do you know how many men I sent to search for you?" Mo Sanshan chuckled coldly.
Zhu Yan: "…………!"
Now I know that many people were hunting me down. The thing is, I didn’t believe it! How could I know it was true?
Zhu Yan was filled with regret! Didn’t I just need to stay in Wang Ke’s place for a few months more? Why the hell did I have to step out?
"Help! Someone! Help! Zhu Yan is here! Help me!’ Zhu Yan shouted for help all of a sudden.
"No need to shout! I cast a spell to isolate all sound. Even if you scream yourself sore, no one will hear you!" Mo Sanshan mocked.
Zhu Yan: "…………!"
"Anything else you want to say to me?" Mo Sanshan asked.
"I… I miss that small bottle!" Zhu Yan said regretfully.
Mo Sanshan was at a loss. Small bottle? What’s that?
"Hehe, there’s no need to think so much. Let me see the gold dragon inside your body!" Mo Sanshan said.
He took out a dagger as he spoke and pointed it at Zhu Yan’s belly.
Zhu Yan was horrified. "Are you going to rip my belly open? No, no! You can’t do that! You can’t!"
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe!" Mo Sanshan began the incantation.
Next, the dagger lit up with a golden glow as it instantly shot toward Zhu Yan’s tummy.
"No!" Zhu Yan shrieked in fear.
Oh no! I’m going to die!
"Boooom!"
A loud explosion sound came from Zhu Yan’s midriff, but there was no blood!"
"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
The gold dragon cried out in pain from inside his belly. Unfortunately, no one outside could hear it because of the spell barrier.
Still, Zhu Yan realized that he felt no pain. The dagger had indeed pierced into his abdomen, but it didn’t seem to touch his flesh; it was like an ethereal blade that only affected the gold dragon.
"Tsss, tssss, tssss!"
Golden fumes emerged and enveloped Zhu Yan when the dagger point and his belly met.
"Hall Lord, is the dragon Qi leaking?" a subordinate of Mo Sanshan asked.
"It’s okay. My dagger suppressed the gold dragon and caused some of it to leak. Still, it won’t disperse; it will only surround Zhu Yan and return to the gold dragon when I retrieve my dagger!" Mo Sanshan said.
"Understood!" His men spoke no more after that.
Mo Sanshan held on to the dagger, closed his eyes, and sensed with his mind.
"Mo Sanshan, you… What are you trying to do? The gold dragon may explode at any moment!" Zhu Yan cried out in horror.
I’m toast if the gold dragon explodes!
Mo Sanshan ignored the latter’s cries and continued sensing the gold dragon with closed eyes. After a long time probing, he frowned.
"Where’s the Dragon Ball? Why isn’t the sphere inside the dragon?" Mo Sanshan looked at Zhu Yan and asked.
The poor fellow was dumbfounded. How would I know?
"I’m sure it’s hidden somewhere in the dragon’s body. I don’t think Zhu Hongyi and Zi Bufan knew about the sphere’s mysterious properties; they wouldn’t have rushed to take it out. It should still be inside!" Mo Sanshan closed his eyes and continued searching.
Unfortunately, more dragon Qi started leaking and formed a layer surrounding Zhu Yan. Mo Sanshan was still unable to find what he was still looking for.
Zhu Yan was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; not once did he try to retaliate. Overtaken by despair, he could only wait for death with deep regret. Why the hell did I come out? How stupid of me! Wasn’t it okay to just stay in Wang Ke’s place?
A subordinate walked over while Mo Sanshan searched high and low for the Dragon Sphere.
"Hall Lord, I found Wang Ke!" his subordinate reported.
But Mo Sanshan was still searching, now feeling frustrated. "So what if you found him? What’s the big deal?"
"It’s different this time!" his man said, "Wang Ke didn’t go to meet with the righteous disciples. He’s not with the demonic bunch, either. He went to an unfamiliar courtyard in the Dragon Cultivation Town. Alone!"
"Alone?" Mo Sanshan’s eyes glistened.
"Yes, alone! I had my subordinates keep watch on him!" that messenger replied.
The expert laughed as a murderous look flashed in his eyes, "Hahahaha! Alone? Finally alone! Wang Ke, Wang Ke! I’ve been waiting for this day!"
He glanced at Zhu Yan while he spoke.
"Humph!" he snorted and said as he let go of the demon, "I will come back to pull out the Dragon Sphere after I settle scores with Wang Ke."
He then instructed his men, "All of you, make sure Zhu Yan doesn’t escape!"
"Understood!" his men replied.
"You, lead the way! Take me to Wang Ke," Mo Sanshan ordered the leading subordinate.
"Right away!"
And so, they left the courtyard.
Zhu Yan, still tied up on a pillar, opened his eyes wide. You left, just like that?
"Mo Sanshan, aren’t you going to take out the dagger from my belly? Mo Sanshan! Take the dagger out first!" Zhu Yan shrieked in fear.
Unfortunately, Mo Sanshan had already left. The only ones remaining were some of his subordinates, who merely stared at the dagger on Zhu Yan’s belly.
"Why am I so damn unlucky!" Zhu Yan bawled in despair.
