Chapter 26 : Black Market Part 2

Bai Lan growled, backing himself away from the beautiful women dressed in thin clothes who were trying to approach him.

Lan Yang pursed his lips and scowled at him. Lan Yang said, sipping in his wine while five to six beautiful women flocking around him.

Bai Lan frowned and gritted his teeth. Bai Lan yelled, standing up to exit the brothel room but he stopped when Lan Yang spoke,

Bai Lan felt all the veins popped in his head. He tried to calm himself when Lan Yang mocked again, All of a sudden, Lan Yang felt an incoming powerful silver spiritual qi coming from Bai Lan's blade. He immediately unsheathed his big sword to it's scabbard and blocked Bai Lan's attack but his excess silver spiritual qi went through him, making a small cuts in his body.

Lan Yang said, still blocking Bai Lan's blade.

Bai Lan took a deep breath and indifferently withdrew his sword back to it's scabbard. He shifted his eyes to the beautiful women who were trembking and whimpering in the corner of the room and glared at them before speaking,

The other cried, the other nodded and the other nearly fainted. Seeing that these women wouldn't dare to open their mouths, Bai Lan went to open the door, his face half calm, half irritated. Lan Yang glanced at the women behind him and just shrugged before going out and follow Bai Lan.

In a wide jade stage, Shan Ling was grinding her hips and smiling seductively while she danced like an exquisite flower infront of the people. She glanced at Chen Yi and looked at her with a face like "Chen Yi jiejie, praise me!" but Chen Yi continued sitting calmly on the corner while closing her eyes, examining the place using the excess spiritual qi she let out secretly. Shan Ling pouted and focused on catching the attention of the people while she danced gracefully infront of the stage, letting her enchantment qi out to hypnotize the people around.

Liu Xiao sighed heavily and massaged his temples. He made some tiny plum blossom petals earlier using his spiritual qi to make a CCTV thing to investigate effectively but he only heard and see things that was too absurd.

Liu Xiao murmured angrily on himself, his mind in chaos.

He irritatingly grabbed a small biscuits in the table and angrily munched it. They were inside this brothel for too long and Shi Xuan never came back yet. Shi Xuan ordered him some room and food and went out to settle things but it's been two hours and he didn't came back yet.

He sighed and sipped some tea and was about to use his cctv skills again but his eyes widened when he felt that powerful demonic qi all around the brothel again.

This time, it's not a faint demonic qi anymore, but it felt like someone was letting it out. Liu Xiao stood up and thought that Shi Xuan must be fighting that demonic cultivator now and ran out of the brothel. While he was running, he let out four papers and charged his qi on it, yelling out,

He released the paper and it swiftly leaped into the sky, the two going on Bai Lan and La Yang's direction and the other two was going on Shan Ling and Chen Yi's direction. A few minutes later, the four of them were already infront of the brothel Liu Xiao was in. Their weapons were unsheathed and agressively panting. Liu Xiao glanced at them and spoke,

All of a sudden, the people in the black market were all screaming and running. There were shadow figures in the sky, their wings were like that of a dragonfly and faceless, their bodies were all black and overflowing with black red demonic qi. Liu Xiao was about to release his orange spiritual qi out of his body but he couldn't help blurting out words when he saw the figure. Liu Xiao yelled and gasped in shock.

The four were stunned. Chen Yi from the roof above sighed loudly and yelled at him while engaging herself to fight. Liu Xiao paused and awkwardly laughed and scratched his head before readying his sword and making his body float. The once white pink spiritual qi became a light orange all over his body, looking like he was on fire.

The four of them faced the hundreds of swarming insect demons. The demon's faces split into two and let out a loud demonic shriek before flying in their direction in a flash. Liu Xiao immediately went front and yelled, he closed his eyes and focused on infusing a large amount of spiritual qi on the blade of his sword and swung it horizontaly many times with an enormous force, a large and wide ten waves of orange spiritual qi materialized and eliminated the incoming demon insects. Liu Xiao sighed in relief and yelled again,

The four that was standing in the roof hopped high in the sky and started attacking the shrieking demon insects. Lan Yang attacked like a wild gorilla smashing some little insects with his two handed gigantic sword, Shan Ling raised his whip and binding the demon insects body while Chen Yi was slicing it's wings and head in one slash of her sword, Bai Lan on the other hand was simply approaching the demon insects and slightly moving his sword but the demon insects was all cut into pieces like tofu.

As they one sidedly massacre the insects, more of them come out from nowhere and attacked with groups. Liu Xiao thought about something and looked everywhere then glanced at the four. Liu Xiao shouted while hopping on his sword and leaped in the sky with insane speed.

As he followed the traces of powerfuk demonic qi in the air, the atmosphere around suddenly became sinister and eerie. Liu Xiao was worried that Shi Xuan must be wounded because the demon cult felt powerful. He sped up and arrived in a gambling house that was larger than the gambling house they went to before. Liu Xiao gulped before entering in one of the holes in the wide red wall. He saw a tall figure of a man and it was to turn in his direction but Liu Xiao tripped on one of the excess branches and his face hit first on the floor.

Damn it, why am i always tripping when i made an entrance?! This is embarassing! Liu Xiao wanted to dig the marble floor right now and bury himself but he was still worried about Shi Xuan so he immediately stood up, cleared his throat and cleaned the dust on his robe while pretending like nothing happened. The tall figure of a man was gone and he saw Shi Xuan who was approaching him with a worried expression.

Liu Xiao blinked twice before slowly nodding. Who was that man? It feels like i've seen that figure before. He shook his head and thought that maybe he was hallucinating and went to crouch then focused on examining Shi Xuan's body.

Liu Xiao consecutively asked while feeling Shi Xuan's pulse. When he finished examinijg and Shi Xuan seemed fine, he let go of Shi Xuan's wrist and slowly stood up. Shi Xuan simply answered.

She? Liu Xiao raised his eyes and slightly opened his mouth. He felt guilty and apologized to Shi Xuan. Liu Xiao said, his face looking sullen and guilty. Shi Xuan only shook his head and replied,

Bai Lan shouted from the back. Liu Xiao turned his head and saw that the four of them were behind him, he frowned and remembered that he gave instructions earlier. Liu Xiao asked confusingly.

Chen Yi simply answered.

Shan Ling on her back said while she covered her hand and laughed. Liu Xiao remembered the embarrassment earlier and decided to just ignore them and turned back to Shi Xuan's direction. Liu Xiao asked.

Shi Xuan answered. Liu Xiao nodded and glanced at Bai Lan and gave him a "See? He's not a shady kid!" look. He glanced at the empty black market and the destroyed houses all over. He scratched his head and sighed before speaking.

The four agreed and unsheated their weapons. They went back to the eerie stone pathway and saw the carraige still remained unmoved with three coachmans sleeping in the front. All of them went back to their usual carriage and traveled straight to the floating palace and reported to the Peak Masters.
