~7 min read 1,279 words

Li Qingluo:?

In that case, shouldn't we be more worried about those murderous thugs?

No one in the entire Da Chu knows that they have locked up none other than DaLiang's Yama Slaughter God.

Facing Zhang Tingju's kind reminder, Li Qingluo nodded to show her thanks.

He had clearly wanted to speak but stopped just now, clearly wanting to bring up Duan Rongshi's matter, yet he didn't say it clearly.

Obviously, something must have happened.

Li Qingluo quickly walked into the darkness.

There was no light around.

She heard heavy breathing coming from all around.

Que'er followed closely behind her.

Li Qingluo grabbed her hand, wanting to make her less afraid.

But she could still feel Que'er's hand trembling slightly.

Li Qingluo shouted: "Wu Lang?"

"Clatter—"

The heavy chain clanking was accompanied by a loud 'bang', and someone on their nearest right side reached his hand out through the prison door frame.

"Where does this woman's fragrance come from?"

"Let me see quickly!"

"This fragrance must be from a beauty in the making. Hahaha..."

"If she is an ultimate beauty, shaving off her bones, then washing and drying each one, could assemble a beautiful skeleton."

"Ah! Just imagining this scene would drive me crazy."

"Quick! Quickly let me see, beauty—"

Li Qingluo lit the fire starter.

She moved closer.

"See clearly?"

She held the fire starter up to her pallid face, widened her eyes, and stuck out her tongue.

The madman was frightened and let out a miserable scream as he rolled back: "Ah! Ghost!!"

Just that? And you still dare to do the disgusting act of killing and taking bones!

Li Qingluo disdainfully walked forward.

But strangely, afterward she didn't hear any other noise.

Aren't they all supposed to be ferocious murderers?

Except for that one just now, they all fell silent.

Until Que'er tugged her hard.

"Miss, miss, eyes, eyes."

Que'er nervously pointed around, "Miss, they're all looking at us."

Pairs of cold, numb eyes stared at them like they were staring at corpses, falling upon the master and servant.

Even someone, after making eye contact with them, silently crawled forward, seemingly wanting to examine them more closely.

Que'er's back broke out in a dense cold sweat.

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded: "Get down!"

"Whoever dares to look again, be careful of his dog eyes."

"Hualala—" this group actually all lowered their heads, not daring to even sneak a glance.

Are they afraid of the person who spoke?

As the voice came, a dim light lit up not far away.

Only then did Li Qingluo truly see clearly: Duan Rongshi was sitting properly on a cot.

And Zhui Yu was sitting on a pile of dry grass beside him.

Master and servant were not separated, and both were completely unharmed!

Li Qingluo hurried over and called: "A Shi!"

Seeing him, the big stone in Li Qingluo's heart finally fell.

Duan Rongshi rose and came over, intending to touch her face through the door frame, but then hesitated and withdrew.

"You shouldn't have come; this place is dirty and smelly, not where you should be."

"Get out."

Li Qingluo: "Okay, I'll leave soon."

"I just want to ask you, when will you come back?"

Seeing his state, Li Qingluo knew that all this was probably within his plan.

If not, then surely at the moment he was caught and thrown into prison, he already had a plan in his heart.

Thus, Li Qingluo would no longer be anxiously waiting outside.

But she just wanted his one sure word.

Duan Rongshi: "At the latest, in two or three days."

No sooner had his words fallen than Zhang Tingju's side erupted in fighting sounds.

Afterward, Duan Rongshi heard a familiar voice: it was Yang Qilang: "Li Wu Lang! Come out quickly!"

"Someone here wants to kill me—"

Duan Rongshi reached out and grabbed the doorframe with the iron lock, pulling hard.

That door and that lock thus went their separate ways.

Li Qingluo looked around.

He heard the sound of cold gasps echoing repeatedly in the darkness, and vaguely saw these vicious criminals covering their eyes.

Li Qingluo: ……

It seems that during these two days at the Great Reason Temple, those criminals haven't been having an easy time.

Look, they're all frightened.

As soon as Duan Rongshi came out, he grabbed Li Qingluo's hand: "Let's go!"

Zhui Yu followed closely behind; upon coming out, he originally also wanted to grab Que'er, but Que'er nimbly dodged away.

"Miss, Master, please wait for the servant—"

Zhui Yu looked at his own hand with a dejected expression, then let out a self‑mocking cold laugh.

Zhui Yu, what qualifications do you still have?

When Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi rushed out from the innermost part, the outside was already in utter chaos.

The minor official who had been guiding Zhang Tingyi was already dead on the ground.

Zhang Tingyi was still helping Yang Qilang, firmly holding back the several people who had fought their way out of the cells.

However, Yang Qilang's cell on the other side had already been flung open.

Two black‑clad men inside were blocking Yang Qilang tightly.

Yang Qilang was unarmed; although he also possessed some formidable martial arts, against these two highly skilled black‑clad men he could only focus on dodging and fleeing.

Seeing a blade about to fall on Yang Qilang's neck, a thin thread wrapped around it.

Then that blade was forcibly pulled apart by someone with great strength.

Yang Qilang looked at the owner of the thin thread.

Its other end turned out to be a bracelet.

It was worn on a slender wrist.

To his utter astonishment, the person who saved him was actually a woman, and moreover the merchant's wife of Li Wu!!

How could she possibly know martial arts!!

And she even had such a formidable weapon!!

What kind of people are this couple!!

Before Yang Qilang could recover from his shock, a pebble flicked over and struck heavily at the black‑clad man's forehead acupressure point!

With just that, the black‑clad man closed his eyes, fell backward, and actually fainted.

Seeing his partner fall, the other black‑clad man, no longer bothering to kill Yang Qilang, turned and slashed toward Duan Rongshi and the others.

This time Duan Rongshi didn't need to act; a single Zhui Yu rushed out and killed.

After dozens of moves, that black‑clad man was pinned to the ground by Zhui Yu.

Just as he tried to swallow poison to kill himself, the refined old Daoist Zhui Yu pinched his head with a "crack".

He, with his head askew, also fainted.

Zhang Tingyi saw this and shouted: "Come quickly! These criminals have gone mad—"

Where have the constables of the Great Reason Temple prison gone?

After a while, not even a silhouette appeared, let alone a full person.

Tonight's assassination strike reached straight into Yang Qilang's cell.

It is clearly a massive, shocking net aimed at killing Yang Qilang inside his cell!

Moreover, those black‑clad men also released several frenzied criminals.

When the affair is over, they will simply say that a mad criminal killed Yang Qilang, and since it happened inside the Great Reason Temple, who could still trace it back to them?

The Great Reason Temple is either one of the threads in that net, or it is the net itself!

However, now is not the time for speculation.

Li Qingluo and the others could only first drive those mad criminals back into the cells.

But as they fought, Zhui Yu suddenly seemed to become demon‑possessed.

He suddenly turned his head and let out a low roar.

Then he raised his sword and thrust toward Que'er—
