Chapter 686: Yangzhou, Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse

The red-haired woman looked at Hou Xibai’s handsome face without any fear. A hint of derision flashed in her eyes.

“Hou Xibai, this is a small warning. Do not get too close with the people from Kind Boathouse. You must understand that ever since our martial-uncle and a group of holy order elites were killed, the rules in our holy order changed.

“The Evil King is slightly mad, and Empress Yin is the one who controls everything. All holy order disciples have to listen to her orders. You are a disciple of Flowers Sect, yet you are so close to the successor of Kind Boathouse, which is the leader of all righteous sects… This is not very good, is it?”

“You are a mere disciple from Yin Weed Faction, and yet you dare to come and lecture me? You should know your place!”

When Hou Xibai snorted coldly, the red-haired woman quickly noticed that the situation was bad, but it was already too late. The figure in front of her moved, and she instantly lost track of Hou Xibai.

‘He’s behind me!’

She turned around to deliver a palm strike, but a powerful force sent her violently out of the restaurant.

Crash!

The wooden wall of the restaurant suddenly shattered from inside, and shards flew outward. A red shadow descended on the ground together with them.

This scene was no longer a new sight in the city, but a quest, which involved elites at the peak of Inaction Realm, was still something very few people could take and challenge.

“Twin Demons!”

Once the people on the streets recognized the red-haired woman, most of them quickly moved to the side.

The red-haired woman not only managed to use her Great Sky Demon Art skillfully, she also had with her high-grade hidden weapons that would make people tremble in their boots. She could fire fatal and poisonous hidden weapons from every part of her body, and they were incredibly powerful.

When the players in the area recognized her, they could not help but weigh their own abilities.

It was especially so when they saw Hou Xibai chase after her out of the first floor of the restaurant. When he attacked the red-haired woman, demonic shadows flew everywhere for a period of time. Both of them used True Phantasmal Body Movement Skill, and those whose qi realms were slightly lacking could not tell what was happening at all. They could only see a red blur and a white blur moving all over the street.

But they could still tell who had the upper hand in the situation. The red-haired woman was clearly unable to fight against Hou Xibai for a long period of time. Very soon, she was in a disadvantageous position. She was struck a few times and sent flying more than thirty feet backward.

But even though the red-haired woman was at a disadvantage, a string of phantasmal laughter that sounded like silver bells suddenly rose on the street.

“Hou Xibai, didn’t you claim that you are the man who loves all women in the world the most? How could you attack such a pretty and adorable junior sister? Next time, I, Wan Wan, will definitely not dare to walk beside you.”

The delicate and sweet voice traveled into the ears of the players in the area, but it was difficult for them to feel any disgust from it. Instead, they felt comforted and longed to hear it again.

What a powerful Great Sky Demon Art!

The expressions of some of the more experienced martial artists in the area changed. They looked at each other before they quickly left the troublesome place.

After all, the people fighting were from the evil cult, and none of them were merciful people.

Wariness flashed in Hou Xibai’s eyes, and he resolutely stopped chasing after the red-haired woman. He turned around to look at the roof of the restaurant on the side and saw an incredibly sexy woman swinging her bare feet mischievously. She sat on the roof like an elf with her shoulders bared. There was an indescribable air of charm and coquettishness about her.

“Senior Sister Wan Wan, any second longer, and you would have had to come here and collect your adorable junior sister’s corpse.”

It was the same delicate and sweet voice, but the red-haired woman had clearly not mastered the art yet. Quite a number of players could not help but feel that she was a flighty person when they saw her appearance and heard her tone.

“So, you’re here as well, Wan Wan.”

“My mistress was worried that the two newly accepted disciples of hers will make you angry, so she had me come here to deal with the situation should any problems occur.”

Wan Wan and Hou Xibai chose to ignore the red-haired woman who had a very unique appearance. They talked to each other without moving from their positions. One of them sat on the roof while the other remained at the center of the street.

“Does Empress Yin want you to come and lay out judgment on me?”

“Of course not.” A cunning light shone in Wan Wan’s eyes, and while she faced Hou Xibai, who had a wary look on his face, she said, “I heard that you have a date with Shi Feixuan today, and we can just capture her to make amends for your crimes. My mistress will not blame you then!”

“Hahahaha!”

While laughing, Hou Xibai opened his Beauty Fan with a snap. He looked at Wan Wan and said loudly in an indifferent tone, “My qi realm might be low, but I despise such contemptuous acts. Besides, you want me to do such a thing to a pretty lady? It’s not fitting for my title as The Womanizer, hmm?”

“Can you keep a clear conscience once you refuse my offer?” Wan Wan fluttered her long and seductive lashes. Her voice was like the sad whine of a maiden, and it was incredibly charming. “Or are you saying that I am not pretty?”

Hou Xibai said nothing. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled in anguish and subconsciously closed his Beauty Fan.

At that instant, Wan Wan suddenly moved.

Thud!

She tapped against the corner of the restaurant with her bare feet and flew down like an elf. Her two thin gauze ribbons shot at Hou Xibai like lightning, and they were just in time to bind Beauty Fan when it was completely shut. Her timing was impeccable.

Hou Xibai’s expression changed.

When he wanted to fight back, the red-haired woman behind him executed her offense. She activated her Great Sky Demon Art, and the light around her instantly became much dimmer. A great power that was like the energy in a vortex continuously pulled at Hou Xibai and reduced his ability to react to the situation.

But Wan Wan could move like a fish in water under Great Sky Demon Art. She became even faster, and the two thin gauze ribbons shot in front of Hou Xibai like lightning…

He could not block it in time!

Clang!

During the critical moment, a large white sword force cut through Wan Wan’s thin gauze.

It immediately lost support, and changed from being as hard as steel into objects that were soft, pliant, and possessed no strength.

Wan Wan stopped moving forward and jumped back to the restaurant under the threat of the sword. She looked down at the torn thin gauze in her hands, then spoke to the person who showed up on the roof across from her.

“Big Sister Shi, do all the people from the righteous path join fights without any declaration and ambush people from behind?”

“I’ve heard for a long time that you have a sharp tongue and are skilled. Now that I see you today, you do live up to your name.”

Shi Feixuan did not fall for the trap nor fly into a rage. Her words were spoken with a relaxed air, and she looked very cordial. Her temperament was even colder and more distant than when she appeared at Extreme Yin Lake, and she seemed to have reached a breakthrough in her Clear Sword.

Usually, when two women met, they would have a lot of words to say to each other, but when Wan Wan met Shi Feixuan, her temper did not seem to be very good, and it was very easy for her to become angry.

“You’re the one who came to our doorstep yourself.”

She snorted coldly and tapped against the roof to instantly close the distance of more than ten feet between them. She appeared near Shi Feixuan.

The fight between two matchless beauties at the peak of Inaction Realm instantly attracted countless people’s attention.

Happy, who sat in a restaurant nearby, was no different and quietly watched the progression of events. There was a faint smile on his lips.

He activated Nine Yang Divine Skill, and a light crease swiftly formed between his eyebrows.

Aside from Wan Wan, Shi Feixuan, and Hou Xibai, a few more powerful presences were hidden nearby.

‘Looks like the news about Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse is true.’
