Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

After the rain, the sun shone brightly.

Bai Li, dressed in a blue robe, strolled slowly through the streets of Fuzhou. Beside him, Yue Lingshan, wearing a pink dress, had a bright and pretty face. Her large, lively eyes curiously surveyed the surrounding scenery as she chattered incessantly.

"Eleven, look at that sugar painting! It's so beautiful!" Yue Lingshan tugged at Bai Li's sleeve, pointed at the sugar painting stall on the street, her eyes sparkling with longing.

"Go see it if you want."

"Yay!" Yue Lingshan cheered and skipped over to the sugar painting stall.

"Boss, a phoenix sugar painting, please."

"Okay!"

The two continued walking, and when they passed a pastry shop, Yue Lingshan was attracted by the aroma wafting from inside and pulled Bai Li inside.

The shop offers a wide variety of pastries, including osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, and cloud cake... a dazzling array.

Yue Lingshan wanted to try everything, but was too embarrassed to buy too much.

Bai Li simply asked the shopkeeper to pack one portion of each type of pastry and take it away.

"Eleven, you bought so much, we can't possibly eat it all!" Yue Lingshan said with a hint of reproach, but her heart was warmed.

"It's alright, take it back for Master, Mistress, and Senior Brothers to try," Bai Li said with a smile, his gaze falling on the corner of her mouth, which was covered with a few crumbs of pastry, and he couldn't help but reach out to wipe them away for her.

As her fingertips touched the girl's soft skin, Yue Lingshan's cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe red apple. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into Bai Li's eyes. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if a little deer was thumping wildly inside her.

Bai casually withdrew his hand, cleared his throat, and said, "Let's keep going. There seems to be a stage ahead. I heard there's a good show going on today."

"Mmm." Yue Lingshan responded softly, holding the oil paper, and followed closely behind Bai Li. However, she couldn't help but secretly glance at his back out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding.

Night fell, and the starlight was temporarily hidden.

Inside the inn, Yue Lingshan, having spent the day exploring Fuzhou, went to rest early.

Bai Li changed into a black outfit and put on a bamboo hat. His figure leaped out of the window like a willow catkin, landed on the roof of the inn, and disappeared into the night in a few leaps.

In the shadows, Lauderuo quietly followed, sneering to himself. He knew this junior brother wouldn't be so well-behaved. He'd been watching him all day, and finally, he'd caught his chance.

What good is exceptional talent if the dead are worthless!

If we can take this opportunity to get rid of this junior brother, it would be like eliminating a major threat to the Songshan Sect in advance.

Thinking of this, Lauder's eyes grew even colder.

...

The Qingcheng Sect set up a temporary stronghold in a small courtyard diagonally opposite the Fuwei Escort Agency, so as to keep an eye on the agency's every move.

Inside the courtyard, the Four Beauties of Qingcheng lay listlessly on rocking chairs.

The junior brothers would handle the errands; all they needed to do was kill anyone who stepped out of the escort agency.

"Ugh, this is so damn boring."

Luo Renjie kicked a pebble, his face full of impatience: "Master, when are you going to make your move? If this drags on any longer, I'll go moldy! I'm planning to go to the brothel and have some fun with a couple of girls!"

"Oh, Junior Brother Luo, you can't stand the loneliness anymore?"

Hong Renxiong chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a suggestive glint in his eyes. "Why waste money on entertainment at the brothel? I think Madam Wang from the Fuwei Escort Agency is still quite alluring. Why don't you beg your master? Maybe he'll just give you Madam Wang!"

"Go to hell," Luo Renjie retorted, but his eyes gleamed with lust.

Amidst the banter, Jia Renda entered the small house carrying several food boxes, his face full of flattery: "Four senior brothers, the night is long, I've brought some food and wine to help you pass the time."

Yu Renhao's eyes lit up. He picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp, wiping his mouth. "Not bad, twenty-year-old Nu'er Hong, no watering down. Junior Brother Jia really knows how to handle things. I'll look after you from now on."

Jia Renda quickly bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, senior brother. I watched the shopkeeper make this wine. I told him it was to be given to the four famous heroes of Qingcheng to taste, and the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect it in the slightest."

The Four Beauties of Qingcheng laughed heartily, quite pleased with the flattery.

While smiling obsequiously, Jia Renda carefully tore the roast goose and braised duck into pieces and then respectfully handed them over.

Luo Renjie took a bite of the goose leg, licked his lips, looked at the security agency courtyard, and said, "Senior brother, why don't we just charge in? I think Lin Zhennan's martial arts are mediocre, and his Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is terrible. He's no match for us at all."

"Shut up." Hou Renying glared at him. "Master told us to keep watch, so we keep watch. Don't make decisions on your own. If you ruin Master's important plans, you'll be skinned alive."

Luo Renjie shrank back, not daring to talk back, and just muttered softly, "I was just saying, it won't matter..."

Hong Renxiong casually tossed a piece of duck neck to Jia Renda: "Here, Junior Brother Jia, you've been busy all day, have a taste."

"Thank you, senior brother." Jia Renda quickly reached out and took the duck neck, then began to gnaw on it with relish.

After a couple of drinks, the atmosphere became lively and noisy, with the group flattering each other and chatting idly.

Jia Renda would occasionally chime in with a few flattering words, making the group even more smug and overconfident.

Suddenly, Jia Renda froze, looking puzzled, and said, "Brothers, don't you think... it's too quiet outside?"

The four beauties of Qingcheng were stunned. Yes, they could hear their junior brothers talking and walking around just now, but now there was no sound at all.

"Something's not right." Hou Renying suddenly stood up, gripped his long sword tightly, and gave the other four a look. They immediately became alert.

The five cautiously approached the courtyard and were shocked to find that all of their dozen or so fellow disciples lay on the ground, each with a thin bloodstain on their neck, already dead.

In the center of the courtyard, a man in black wearing a straw hat stood with a sword in one hand.

Hou Renying's heart pounded wildly. In such a short time, his junior brothers had been slaughtered without even making a sound. This person was no ordinary person.

"Where did you come from? Why did you attack my Qingcheng Sect disciple like this?"

The man in black was, of course, Bai Li. He looked at the five people in front of him with a mocking expression and said, "Aren't you supposed to be the Four Dogs of Qingcheng? How come there are five? Which one of you is the extra dog?"

"Hey, where did you come from, you little brat? You're asking for it!" Luo Renjie, who had the worst temper, opened his mouth to curse and was about to rush forward when Hou Renying stopped him.

Hou Renying stared intently at Bai Li and said, "What kind of hero hides his head and tail? If my Qingcheng Sect has offended us in any way, my master is inside. Why don't you come with us to see my master and have a proper discussion?"

Bai Li scoffed, "No need. I have no grudge against the Qingcheng Sect. I'm just here to kill dogs."

Upon hearing this, Hou Renying no longer hesitated: "Kill him."

The four people moved at the sound.

Hou Renying drew his sword, its light flashing like pine needles, aimed directly at Bai Li's major acupoints, causing the pine needles to sprout.

Hung Jen-hsiung unleashed his Shadowless Kick, delivering a series of back kicks aimed directly at his lower body.

Yu Renhao aimed at Bai Li's eyes and threw out a blue bee nail, attempting to disrupt his vision.

Luo Renjie followed closely behind, using the Pine Breeze Sword Technique and the Soaring Phoenix Swordplay, in coordination with Hou Renying, to strike Bai Li's chest.

Seeing the terrifying aura of the man in black, Jia Renda quietly took a few steps back, took out his Thunder God Bomb, and his palms were sweating.

"A mere trick." In an instant, the four Qingcheng heroes appeared to Bai Li as if in slow motion, their flaws exposed one after another.

Bai Li unleashed the Songshan Sword Technique, the Twelve Swords of the Midnight, with a series of rapid sword strikes. One sword deflected the Green Bee Nail, another slashed across Hong Renxiong's throat, and then, with a swift upward thrust, pierced through Luo Renjie's chest. He turned and struck again, piercing Hou Renying's heart through his back.

The sword energy cleaved through the wounds, extinguishing the life force of the three.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

Three muffled thuds rang out in succession, and Hong Renxiong, Luo Renjie, and Hou Renying fell to the ground one after another, their faces still contorted with the ferocity of their attacks until their deaths.

In the blink of an eye, three of the Four Heroes of Qingcheng were killed, leaving only Yu Renhao frozen in place, his face as pale as paper.

Bai Li sheathed his sword, flicked it lightly, and drops of blood from the tip splattered onto the ground.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze beneath the bamboo hat still cold, as if he had just crushed four ants.
