Rebellious Contract Beast
Chapter 422 Peng Hu Requests for an Audience
The mysterious man did not hesitate at all during the process of killing Hua Ning.
After doing all this, he ignored He Jianchuyun, clapped his hands, shook off the mud and sand that Hua Ning had turned into after his death, turned around and flew away.
"stop!"
There was an indignant look on He Jianchuyun's face. She came to Hua Ning just to ask some questions, but how could this man just kill someone without saying a word?
Watch him leave?
impossible!
With a "clang", the Broken Rainbow Sword was pulled out of the scabbard. Green light appeared around He Jianchuyun and he flew up, chasing after the mysterious man at an extremely fast speed.
The other party glanced back and then quickened his pace, moving quickly in the darkness like a ghost.
Surprisingly, he was very fast. In just a few seconds, his figure disappeared from Tsurumi Hatsuyun's sight.
"Xuanli!"
"Old witch, that man is not simple, think carefully before you chase him!"
"The dead keep their mouths shut the tightest. That person is killing people to silence them. He must know something."
"Turn left! He went that way."
She did not hesitate and immediately followed the direction Shen Yi pointed.
Shen Yi used all his strength to release his senses and locked them firmly on the mysterious man, but not long after, he found that the other party suddenly jumped into the air. He was about to tell He Jianchuyun what he saw, but the next second, the bright white figure representing the mysterious man seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared directly from Shen Yi's range of perception.
"Old witch, people are flying in the sky... this..."
"what happened?"
"Shit! He's gone."
He Jianchuyun stopped and Shen Yi in his consciousness space also looked confused.
The process of the other party disappearing was like wearing clothes made of shadow-covering gauze in the air.
From the perspective of perception, the effect of the veil is like this: it cannot be touched by the senses and is completely invisible.
"Gone?" Upon hearing that, He Jian Chu Yun landed and trotted a few steps. She swept her surroundings with a cold gaze. It was dark around her and the things she could see were very limited.
She felt very unwilling to think that the other party had directly killed the person she was targeting, but the mysterious man was too fast and disappeared from Shen Yi's perception. She knew it was impossible to find him, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go back."
"Okay, let's go back." Shen Yi also knew that trying to find the mysterious man under such circumstances was no different from wishful thinking, so he had no choice but to agree.
After tidying up her clothes, Tsurumi Hatsuyun walked down the street thoughtfully, but sometimes things were just so coincidental that just as she walked out of the alley and came to a crowded place, she saw the mysterious man again across the street.
He had already put on his cloak and was about to tear off the mask on his face, when his eyes met Tsurumi Hatsuun's.
"This……"
He Jianchuyun's eyes froze, and the other party was also stunned. After reacting, he turned around and ran back without any hesitation.
"Old witch! It's him again!"
"I see!"
At Shen Yi's reminder, she did not delay. Green light shone brightly around her body, and she directly activated the second stage of the Qingyun Jue of the Sparrow, Flying Clouds and Stepping on Swallows!
With a whoosh, the whole person disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"stop!"
With a delicate cry, spiritual light flowed around her body, forming an armor made of dragon scales on her body surface. With the blessing of the Life God Armor, her pursuit speed was further increased.
This time it was not as easy for the mysterious man to get rid of her as before. There was also light flashing around his body, and when he moved, he left a series of afterimages in the alley like a ghost. But no matter how hard he tried, Tsurumi Hatsuyun was always dodging in the air, like a butterfly, hanging far behind him, her eyes always fixed on him.
After crossing several streets, the mysterious man became impatient as he could not get rid of the young man behind him, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and suddenly made a sharp turn and rushed into the alley on the right. He Jianchuyun followed closely behind him and also flew past quickly in mid-air.
"Don't even think about running away!"
He swung the long sword in his hand and released a stream of sword energy.
The sword energy was extremely fast, but unfortunately the mysterious man's reaction was even faster. The moment the sword energy appeared, he dodged it in time by turning sideways, causing the sword energy to miss the target and directly chopping the pile of firewood against the wall into pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.
"Ah!"
He Jianchuyun had a stern face and wanted to chop with the sword again, but the opponent did not give her any chance at all. He suddenly turned around and rushed out of the alley.
"You stop!"
She was so angry that her true voice came out, and she continued to chase forward without thinking. Shen Yi felt that something was wrong and was about to dissuade her, but before he opened his mouth to speak, He Jian Chu Yun had already flown out of the alley.
At this time, she came to a crossroads, but strangely, the mysterious man disappeared. His figure could not be seen on the roads in three directions. No one knew where he went.
The alley behind her was blocked by her, so it was impossible for anyone to sneak in again when she wasn't paying attention.
"Huh? What about people?"
There was a look of doubt on He Jianchuyun's face. After landing, she took a few steps forward. She became alert and released all her senses to carefully scan the surrounding environment. But from her expression, it was clear that her senses did not detect anything.
"Xuan Li, did you find anything?"
"You didn't notice anything, so what else could I notice? Did the person run far away?"
"Impossible!" He Jian Chu Yun shook her head to deny. Even a strong spiritual-level warrior might not be able to catch up with her speed just now. As for the mysterious man, his speed was indeed very fast, but she already had some understanding of him and was very sure that the other party could not escape from her sight.
"That person should still be around here. He used a trick to find him."
Taking a deep breath, she alerted herself and checked everything suspicious around her.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s because of the environment the old witch is in.
The dark night and the deserted crossroads made Shen Yi feel more and more uneasy, so he quickly said, "Old witch, don't worry about that person, go back quickly."
"why?"
"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling in my heart, that person is not simple."
He Jian Chuyun was silent for a moment after hearing this. After Shen Yi said this, she began to feel uneasy.
She tightened the sword in her hand and became more alert.
Leaving now?
She hesitated for a moment, but soon Shen Yi's somewhat panicked voice rang in her mind.
"Old witch! Be careful!"
"Wha, what?"
Her heart trembled violently, and she subconsciously turned around and looked behind her, while sweeping the sword in her hand.
But the result was that the sword didn't hit anything, and there was no one behind him.
"What are you doing!" Shen Yi yelled in the space of consciousness, and He Jian Chu Yun finally reacted and wanted to turn his body back, but it was too late. The mysterious man did not attack from behind, but came directly from the front. Seeing He Jian Chu Yun turn around to defend behind, he was surprised, and then he sped up and came behind her in an instant.
Before she turned around completely, the mysterious man first struck her with a palm, which broke the Life God Armor on her body into pieces, and then he struck her with a knife. He Jianchuyun lost consciousness on the spot and fainted.
"Old witch!" Shen Yi shouted, but she did not give any response. Her vision went black and she collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, how could he sit still?
With a thought, he forced his way out of the space of consciousness and squeezed out from between her brows.
But what was strange was that after the mysterious man knocked He Jian Chu Yun unconscious, he did not kill him, but turned around and ran away, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
The ball of light changed into the appearance of Shen Yi. He looked at the direction where the other party left and was silent for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.
After about half a minute, he looked down at Tsurumi Hatsuun who was lying on the ground. He raised his claws and pinched her philtrum, fiddling with it for a long time before waking her up.
Seeing her open her eyes, Shen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"you're awake?"
"Where am I?"
"Where else could it be? It's where you just fainted."
Tsurumi Hatsuyun sat up and looked around, finally remembering what happened before he fainted, and felt a sense of fear.
Just now, she was only one step away from the gates of hell. If it were the other party... She didn't even dare to think about what would happen next.
"Where's that guy? What happened to him? Did he run away?"
"He ran away."
"He ran away... Thank you, Xuanli."
"Don't thank me. I didn't drive him away. He left on his own. He didn't kill you. If he really wanted to kill you, he could have killed you ten times during the time I was out!"
"Hmm?" Shen Yi's words made He Jian Chuyun stunned, and then the two looked at each other, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
After a while, she sighed, stood up and said, "Let's go back."
"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded and did not refuse.
Today has passed like this. I worked hard all day and gained nothing in the end.
Who is that mysterious man?
Which force do you belong to?
For what purpose did they cultivate such an evil spirit like Hua Ning?
What secrets are they hiding?
What do they ultimately want to do?
I don't know any of this, and every time I think about it more deeply, it feels like a huge conspiracy web is being spread, and the people caught in the web have no idea what will happen next.
What made Shen Yi most terrified was that the mysterious man had the power to shatter the Armor of the God of Life with one blow.
You have to know that what he lent to Tsurumi Hatsuyun was 100% of his own strength. With all his strength plus Tsurumi Hatsuyun's own cultivation, he was able to fight against a strong man in the early spiritual stage. But in the hands of the opponent, Tsurumi Hatsuyun couldn't even withstand a single blow.
As for saying that the mysterious man had reached the consciousness level, Shen Yi didn't believe it at all, as that man's level was at least above the middle spiritual level.
Despite having such a high level of cultivation, he did not choose to fly in the process of shaking off Tsurumi Hatsuun, but instead chose to use the buildings on the ground to get rid of her.
Why is this happening, shouldn't flying be faster?
Unless the other party is aware of this, there is no benefit in choosing to fly.
Does the mysterious man know of his existence?
Do they know themselves?
This situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light is really bad, and Shen Yi really doesn't like it.
It's like you are a chess piece, being manipulated at will. It makes you angry and unwilling, but you don't know where to start to free yourself from the identity of "chess piece". The most frustrating thing is that you can't find the enemy.
But it is also possible that I am thinking too much. From the evil breeding farm built under the winery to Hua Ning and the mysterious man, maybe everything is just a coincidence. Although the probability is very low, it is not zero.
However, we cannot conclude whether it is a coincidence or not and we can only hope so.
Thinking about this, Shen Yi no longer had the heart to play with gold. He put the fifty-pound super gold brick on the table into the storage space, tilted his head, tapped the table with his paws, and began to think about other things.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
"Boss, I have something to ask you."
"Come in."
"Yes."
The door was pushed open, and Qu Xiangui's figure appeared behind the curtain.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Boss, there is a woman outside the mansion, she wants to see you."
"Who?" Shen Yi was stunned, subconsciously thinking it was the old witch, but that was not right, the old witch should not have anything urgent to find him for now.
"That person claimed to be the second wife of the Zhu family, Peng Hu."
"Oh." Shen Yi was not surprised now. The publicity team of the Tiger Gang had been working for so many days, bringing unimaginable customer traffic to Luoxiangzuijiuniang. The money was flowing in every day, and it had attracted the attention of too many people.
Shen Yi made a blind guess that within a few days, those businesses in Jiangzhou City that saw the benefits would replicate his methods, organize a large number of propaganda teams to roam the streets, and then sensationalize the city.
It's money after all, it's not shameful.
With such a big fuss caused by themselves, it would be strange if the four major families did not investigate the origins of the propaganda team. If they investigated, it would be normal to trace the clues to the Tiger Gang. It is not surprising that Peng Hu knew all this.
In this light, it is not difficult to guess what her purpose is in coming to find the gang leader herself.
Without her intervention, the Tiger Gang would be ruled by Peng Hu's two brothers. She didn't get along with the old witch's aunt, and she had a big feud with the old witch herself. It stood to reason that the Tiger Gang would not be able to attract business for Luoxiang Zuijiu.
But that's what the Tiger Gang did, and the one who felt the most confused was naturally Peng Hu.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, really interesting. How many people did Peng Hu bring with him?"
"I brought a group of Zhu family guards, but there weren't many of them."
"Take some of your brothers with you and tell Peng Hu that I won't see her anymore. Let her go wherever she comes from. From now on, the Tiger Gang will have nothing to do with her."
"Yes, Gang Leader."
"Well... find someone else to pack up the correspondence between Hu Shouliang, Xu Can and the Luo family and send it to Zhu Yixuan's residence. He should know what to do after seeing it."
"Boss, this alone may not be enough..."
"Of course I know it's not enough. I also picked out some of the correspondence between the two and Peng Hu. You don't need me to teach you how to take it out of context, right?"
"Understood, Boss!"
Shen Yi nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Wait, when you finish your work, take a few disciples with better skills and go to the Red Tiger Gang to beat up Jian Zhanming for me."
"Why is that?" Qu Xiangui had a puzzled look on his face, but he soon understood something and nodded quickly: "I understand, Boss. I will make sure this guy can't get out of bed for three days!"
"Go."
