Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Don't let the small size of these white jade silkworms fool you, they're not cheap. A single string costs over a hundred coins.

If the lower-ranking disciples don't have that much money... then naturally they can only choose the porridge that costs one coin a bowl..."

Chi Junlin nodded, indicating that he already understood.

She had finished eating the silkworm in her hand, but she wasn't quite full yet.

Then he said to Wenren Xuan, "Buy some more food and see what the other insects taste like. I'll keep an eye on things here."

Wenren Xuan nodded with a smile after hearing Chi Junlin's words, seemingly pleased.

He then turned around and went to buy her some snacks.

Chi Junlin watched from the roadside for a while, during which some disciples occasionally came over to buy porridge.

Apart from that, there's nothing particularly noteworthy.

However, just as Chi Junlin was about to stop camping out.

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure appeared by the roadside, walking towards them.

Chapter 333 Ye Qiancao Appears

What Chi Junlin found familiar at this moment was not the person's appearance.

After all, everyone in Qiansi City is used to covering their faces with black and not revealing their identities.

What felt familiar to her was the man's hand reaching out from under his clothes.

I just saw him come to the street, look around in a shop that sells poisonous insects, and reach out to fiddle with the centipede in the box of poisonous insects.

The arm that stretched out from under the black figure was withered and thin, like a dead branch.

Chi Junlin immediately realized that he must have seen this person before.

His body shape and gait were in harmony with the feeling of being in darkness.

She immediately realized that the person in front of her must be the other one of the Eight Eccentrics of Hunan, besides the Ghost Doctor, who was still alive.

Ghost plague.

Previously, I heard from Tong Yan that when Wenren Tianxia was in the camp, he saw the Ghost Plague appear, and the remaining two of the Eight Eccentrics were also poisoned to death by the Ghost Plague.

Chi Junlin believed that Wenren Tianxia would surely track down this guy and kill him.

Unexpectedly, Gui Yi did not die at Wenren Tianxia's hands. Not only did he survive, but he also came to this place.

Why is he here?

Why did he kill the ghost prostitute and the ghost painter?

Is he involved in the child abduction cases in southern Hunan?

And, was he the one who poisoned everyone in the camp earlier?

The problem is that there are too many things that make Chi Junlin want to capture him and interrogate him in detail.

But this was clearly not a good place, and it was not convenient for her to reveal her identity at this time.

Just as she was pondering how to deal with the plague.

But after he finished buying his things, he changed direction and headed towards a small alley.

It seems like they're about to leave.

Without further hesitation, Chi Junlin immediately went to Wenren Xuan's side and greeted her.

Wenren Xuan quickly picked up the prepared snacks and tossed a few taels of silver to the errand boy.

Then he followed behind Chi Junlin.

Seeing that Chi Junlin looked anxious, Wenren Xuan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Chi Junlin replied softly, "We saw Ghost Plague. Let's follow him and see where he's going."

Wenren Xuan was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting to encounter the Ghost Plague here.

Without saying a word, the two followed the ghost's figure to a dark alley and walked inside.

The two chased for a while, and Chi Junlin noticed that the other party seemed to have stopped at a corner not far ahead.

It's like they've made contact with someone.

To avoid being discovered by the Ghost Plague or others, Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan hid behind street debris.

From their current vantage point, they couldn't see who was in front of the plague demon.

However, it seems that the plague is extremely afraid of it.

His voice was trembling as he spoke.

Chi Junlin listened carefully to their conversation, but the wind was too strong and he couldn't hear clearly.

The person speaking to the plague demon seemed to be a woman.

They kept pressing him, asking why he betrayed and killed people.

Then the plague demon knelt down, begging her to spare his life.

"I have never betrayed you! Please spare my life! And it wasn't that I wanted to kill them, it was..."

"Pfft."

Before the words were finished, a soft sound was heard.

Then they saw that something had suddenly pierced through the head of the plague demon.

Blood mixed with brain matter splattered onto the opposite wall instantly.

Chi Junlin was stunned, not expecting that Gui Yi would be killed so easily.

It was a bit of a surprise.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps were heard from the corner of the alley.

Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

As he passed the corpse of the plague demon, Red King glanced at him.

A hole the size of a finger was visible on his forehead; the blow had pierced right through his head.

Even as he died, he still looked utterly astonished.

He seemed to have never expected that the person in front of him would kill him without hesitation.

There was no time to care about the plague-stricken corpse, because the killer had already walked forward and quickly disappeared around the corner.

The two hurriedly followed, afraid of losing sight of the person.

Afterwards, Chi Junlin, who had emerged from the alley, discovered that the man seemed to have entered a tall building that resembled a cave ahead.

In front of the building stood several veiled, alluring women, soliciting customers like courtesans in a brothel.

The woman at the head of the group seemed to know the man well; she greeted him and then ushered him inside.

Chi Junlin noticed the person's fair and delicate skin under the hood, as well as their slender figure, and judged that they should be a woman.

Wenren Xuan exclaimed in surprise, his face showing disbelief.

"what happened?"

Chi Jun then asked.

"It's Ye Qiancao! I can't be wrong!"

Wenren Xuan immediately replied to her.

Chi Junlin was taken aback, never expecting to see Ye Qiancao in such a setting.

This puzzled Red King.

Why is she here? And why did she just kill Ghost Plague?

Also, have Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan already revealed their identities?

Ye Qiancao... does he already know that the two of them have arrived?

What will she do next?

With this in mind, Chi Junlin felt it was absolutely necessary to go and investigate the matter.

So they took a step forward and entered the kiln in front of them, just like Ye Qiancao.

Upon seeing this, Wenren Xuan immediately grabbed her arm and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Are you still going to go find her now?"

Chi Junlin frowned and said, "How will we know what Ye Qiancao is up to if we don't go in and take a look?"

Wenren Xuan's expression was conflicted, showing both fear and hesitation.

"If you're scared, just wait for me here. I'll be right back."

The Red Emperor approached the side road.

"and many more."

Wenren Xuan sighed, looked at Chi Junlin with a complicated expression, and said, "Do you know where you are? Going in alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to come out."

"Where?"

Chi Junlin glanced at the building with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't it just a brothel?"

"No, that place is the infamous Joyful Sect, the Pleasure-Seeking Cave."

After Wenren Xuan finished speaking, Chi Junlin's expression immediately froze.

Unexpectedly, this unassuming place turned out to be the Pleasure Cave.

Fearing that Chi Junlin might not be familiar with the place, Wenren Xuan continued, "People generally believe that the Huanxi Sect members are most skilled in dual cultivation, and many of them know the art of disguising and dissolving bones. The male and female disciples inside are all chosen for their handsomeness and beauty."

This Pleasure Cave is where many disciples of the Pleasure Sect cultivate with the help of numerous martial arts masters in Yindu City.

All entertainment here is free, including food and lodging, and you can experience the company and service of countless beautiful women of various styles.

You can find any woman that any man in the world desires here.

However, as a price to pay, entering this place requires expending a large amount of internal energy and essence within the cave...

Those who lack resolve and lose their minds in the Pleasure Cave will be squeezed to death by the disciples of the Pleasure Sect.

It's a terrifying place where people can kill without leaving a trace...

Chapter 334 The Buddha's Throne, Joyful Meditation

After hearing what Renxuan said, Chi Junlin suddenly became more wary of the pleasure cave in front of him.

In other words, although on the surface this place is indeed free, it is doing charity-like business in the expensive city of Yindu.

But as everyone knows, what's free is often the most expensive.

There is an ancient saying that one essence equals ten units of blood.

If a martial artist expends their energy in such a place once, it would probably take ten arduous training sessions to replenish their vitality.

Wenren Xuan continued, "In short, the locals of Yindu here, even if they are starving to death, would never come here to seek a night's rest."

Most of the people who go here are gangsters who come seeking pleasure and fame.

But now that they've entered this place, how many methods does the Joyful Sect have to deal with them?

Every day, countless renowned figures in the martial arts world are squeezed dry and thrown onto street corners to be used as porridge.

If you don't know anything and go in alone, they will definitely try to harm you in subtle ways.

By then, let alone finding any information related to Ye Qiancao, it will be difficult for her to even emerge unscathed.

So I have to be with you, understand?

Upon hearing Wenren Xuan's words, Chi Junlin smiled and asked her, "Aren't you worried about being recognized?"

Wenren Xuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at the shop selling mourning clothes next to him.

He walked over, threw down two copper coins, and pulled out two black cloths.

"Put this on."

As Wenren Xuan spoke, he and Chi Junlin each put on a black scarf to their faces.
