I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

Yi Niao Niao's amber eyes reflected the entire sky. "If the light at the bottom of the abyss changes color because of the formation, the sun and the clouds should also change color."

"Miss Yu, you are not careful enough. The illusions in the world are profound and unpredictable. If we set up the formation in advance, it won't be difficult to fake a sun in the sky."

Yan Mobai glanced at her and said, "But it's not that easy to fake the Abyss Light."

Yi Niao Niao was stunned and said in astonishment: "Master, you mean... the sun in the sky is fake?"

Seeing Yan Mobai nod, she looked up at the sun again, and with her best eyesight, she could clearly see the corona around the sun and the spots in the center of the sun.

The secret techniques passed down by the Yaoguang Sect rarely involve killing. On the contrary, they are all extremely useful whether for escaping, trapping people, or seeing through illusions.

At this moment, her amber pupils were almost light gold, and she had already opened her Dharma Eyes of Perception, but the sun in the sky remained unchanged.

Who has such great ability to set up an illusion array that even she, the head of the Yaoguang Sect's soul-refining sect, cannot see the slightest flaw?

Just when Yi Niao Niao was half-believing and half-doubting, she heard the white-haired young man beside her say, "After we go to Penglai Inn to investigate, Miss Yu, please go to the city gate to take a look. Then the truth will be revealed."

Yi Niaoniao was silent for a while. She was not a stubborn person. Although she did not think anyone had the ability to set up a formation covering the entire city under the nose of a spiritual cultivator like her, she was just being cautious and replied, "Since Mr. Bai has such concerns, I will send a few disciples to investigate outside the city..."

The girl was about to call the two disciples on duty at the gate, but she saw Yan Mobai shook his head: "Miss Yu, some things are better to be seen with your own eyes."

"Sir, are you worried that my disciples of Yaoguang are deceiving you?"

Yi Niaoniao suddenly stopped what she was going to say.

She found that she seemed to have let her guard down too much. The enemy's methods were far beyond what she had imagined. If they were really able to set up a formation without her noticing, then the disciples she sent out would most likely never return.

"You are right, sir. I was careless."

Yi Niao Niao said softly, "What happens next will be in accordance with what Master Bai said."

Her eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in her hand.

The inappropriate words and actions just now are not like my style.

Is she, Yi Niao Niao...also affected by the mysterious fate?

After waiting for a while, what the three were waiting for finally arrived at the gate of the alley.

Along with the sound of rapid and heavy horse hooves, a carriage approached with billowing dust. The carriage had no canopy and was golden all over, like a spacious throne. The two horses pulling the carriage were tall and strong, with flying fiery red manes, like two swaying red flames.

All towns under the jurisdiction of major immortal sects will be set up with no-fly formations, firstly to prevent monks from flying and disturbing the mortal world, and secondly to facilitate the pursuit of thieves who want to escape from the city.

Jiuling Town has a fairly complete range of facilities. The formations in the city certainly cannot stop Yi Niaoniao, a spiritual cultivator, from flying, but she is currently disguised as a female cultivator at the Jindan stage, so naturally she cannot reveal any flaws in this regard.

The three of them got on the carriage and sat down in the carriage.

Without the need for a coachman to steer, two fiery red horses galloped towards Penglai Pavilion.

The convertible cabin looks impressive, but the sitting experience can be summed up in one word.

The wind is strong!

The three people's hair almost flew in a straight line behind their seats.

Li Yulo covered her face with her small hands and barely opened her eyes. Her light purple starry eyes secretly glanced at the leader through her fingers.

The white-haired young man, who was always calm and composed, now had a strange look on his face due to the strong wind.

Seeing the leader seeming to be crying and laughing, with his white hair floating behind him, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. The oncoming wind immediately found a hole and entered her mouth, almost blowing the corners of her mouth crooked.

The girl shut up and never dared to laugh at others again.

After being disturbed by her, Yan Mobai finally couldn't help but question: "Miss Yu, are all the carriages of the Yaoguang Sect so unconventional?"

His voice was so sharp that it sounded like a whistle in the wind.

Yi Niaoniao had already cursed all the disciples in Jiuling Town who had privately modified the carriage in her heart, but on the surface she still had to pretend to be calm and gentle: "It wasn't like this originally. Maybe one of the disciples liked to be mysterious and took off the carriage roof."

At this moment, she suddenly noticed a carriage coming from the front. The carriage was tall and luxurious, with two green flags hanging on the roof, fluttering in the wind.

The girl suddenly stood up from the galloping carriage.

"Stop!"

The two horses seemed to understand her shout and stopped immediately. Their front hooves pressed against the floor tiles, causing stone chips to fly and leave long marks on the tiles.

Yi Niao Niao stopped the carriage from moving forward, her waist-length ponytails fluttering lightly on her back, her white robe swaying. When the carriage stopped, she raised her head and shouted again, "Stop!"

The same two words, but this time they were spoken to the carriage galloping towards the front.

She recognized the two green banners on the carriage.

That is the logo of the Penglai Pavilion owner's car.

Chapter 97: Inquiry to the Shopkeeper

Just as Yi Niaoniao noticed the green-flagged carriage coming in the opposite direction, the other party also noticed this ostentatious golden carriage without a canopy early on.

"Boss, there's someone blocking our way!"

The driver's voice came through the curtain, in a panic, "It's Master Yaoguang's carriage!"

In the dim carriage, the fat shopkeeper's expression suddenly froze, and his obese body sat up from the couch.

"Are you sure it's Master Yaoguang?"

"Yes."

"Stop, we're already there."

The driver didn't know why the shopkeeper had said before that he wanted to go to Xianlingfang and now he was talking about a place.

But looking at Immortal Master Yaoguang's aggressive look, the reason must be nothing good.

He didn't dare ask more questions.

The carriage slowly stopped amid the neighing of horses.

The fat shopkeeper held onto the pillar of the cart and trembled as he got off the cart. Then he carried out a heavy package from the car.

The black jade doesn't look very large, but it is very heavy to carry.

By the time he bent over and put the package on the ground with difficulty, three shadows had already appeared on the stone bricks in front of him.

"Nice to meet you again, Shopkeeper Tian."

The first thing the fat shopkeeper heard was a clear young girl's voice. Before he could raise his head, his feet suddenly felt empty. A huge body floated up in the air, and then fell on his back to the ground.

Although his bloated body alleviated most of the impact, he still cried out in pain. The fat all over his body was pressed to the ground by an invisible force, and his limbs could not move.

The fat shopkeeper faced the sky, squinting his eyes due to the scorching sun. The only part of his body that could still speak was his mouth, and he moved very quickly: "Master Yaoguang, please spare my life! Master Yaoguang, please spare my life! I'm here to surrender!"

Then he saw a girl wearing a fox mask walk up to him, pick up a wooden stick from somewhere, and put the tip of the stick against his throat like a sword.

The blunt head of the stick touched his neck, but it felt like an executioner's axe was across his neck. The sharp murderous intent pierced his skin, and strands of warm blood flowed down his neck. The sense of crisis that his life was hanging by a thread made him feel like he was on the edge of an abyss.

"I ask a question, and you answer it. Don't answer irrelevant questions, and don't hesitate for even a moment."

The girl had a delicate and petite figure under her white robe, and her voice was as soft as water. Her hair was tied into delicate and cute buns, and the rest of her black hair was tied into two flowing long ponytails that hung at her waist, making her look a little younger.

Judging from the little bit of white face and small ears revealed on the cheeks, it is not difficult to imagine how beautiful the face under the mask is, but the meaning of her words is so indisputable, just like the cold and ruthless golden amber eyes under the mask's eye sockets.

"Okay, okay..." The fat shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything extra and agreed repeatedly with trembling lips.

The stick on his neck was raised a little, and its edge was slightly reduced: "Who are you working for?"

The fat shopkeeper immediately shouted, "Yes...it was the fairy in the jade box who forced me to do it!"

If he wanted the immortal master to save him, it would not be enough to just surrender. He had to cleanse himself of his sins and put all the dirt on that female devil.

The girl asked curiously: "What jade box?"

"It is a treasure my father left for me. My father said that if I ever meet with a disaster, the things in the jade box can save my life. I...I had a tumor in my abdomen many months ago, so I had no choice but to open it."

"What's in the box?"

"It was a fairy who cured my tumor..."

"And you do things for her?"

"Fairy, I don't want to do that either! But that female fairy... that female fairy..."

"Oh." The fox mask smiled, "Did she force you to do that?"

"Yes!" The fat shopkeeper seemed to have finally found the words and shouted excitedly, "It was that female devil who forced me! She threatened me that if I didn't work for her, not only would I be killed without a burial place, but my wife and daughter would also be sent to prostitution. It would be fine if I died, but my daughter is only twelve years old..." As he spoke, the fat shopkeeper choked up and turbid tears rolled down his fat face.

With tears in his eyes, the fat shopkeeper kept staring nervously at the slender figure above him. He had killed so many lives, and if he didn't make his motives sound more tragic, there was no guarantee that the other party would not hold him accountable.

"Although it is evil, it is also done out of necessity. People are born with only one life, and it is understandable that they are afraid of death."

The girl's gentle voice reached his ears, finally making him feel relieved.

Just as the fat shopkeeper was secretly delighted at the fairy's understanding, he heard a light laugh from her.

"But that's not the answer... I asked you if you did anything for her, but I didn't ask you why you did it for her. Why are you so anxious to explain?"

Under the horrified eyes of the fat shopkeeper, the girl raised the wooden stick in her hand and casually placed it on his palm, pounding it as if kneading dough.

"If you answer a question that is not asked, there will be a penalty."

Amid the girl's gentle voice and the fat shopkeeper's screams like a pig being slaughtered, a finger on the palm was missing and blood was all over the floor.

"My hand! My hand!!!"

The girl snorted softly: "It's really unpleasant to hear. This fairy doesn't mind, but I'm worried that it will pollute Mr. Bai's ears."

The stick fell and cut off another finger.

"One more shout, and one more finger will be lost."

The fat shopkeeper was silent as a mouse, the pain of having two severed fingers made him extremely frightened and he even felt a little regretful.

It was not that he regretted what he had done, but that he regretted coming to Master Yaoguang to surrender.

He had thought that the fairies in the immortal sect would be easier to talk to than the demon cultivators no matter what. Their figure and voice were just that of a 28-year-old girl, so how could they be so cruel and ruthless?

If Yi Niaoniao knew about these thoughts, she would definitely laugh at his stupidity. She was once a knight who made the devil of Yan Yuzhou tremble in fear, and her hands were stained with the blood of countless scums and villains. How could she have any psychological burden to deal with a scum like him who assisted the evil?

She wiped off the blood on the stick with disgust and said, "Let's continue talking about the fairy woman in the box. Have you seen her appearance?"

"No, not... My father said that you must not open your eyes when the jade box is opened." The fat shopkeeper became much more obedient and answered very quickly.

"Did she tell you her identity?"

"This... has never been told to me."

"Well, what did she tell you?"

"She told me to use the business of Penglai Pavilion to spread a kind of black jade called Life Stone to the city! This Life Stone can spread Life Poison, which will ruin a person's fortune, make him extremely unlucky, and even get struck by lightning!"

The fat shopkeeper looked eagerly into the girl's eyes beneath the mask, hoping to find some surprise in them, but to his disappointment, the other party's attitude did not change as he had imagined.

"okay."

The girl's tone sounded impatient. "I already know these. What else?"

"That female immortal also asked me to find out the identities of the two immortal masters in Room 2..."

"That's within my expectations. Anything else?"

The fat shopkeeper paused. He had hardly met the female fairy many times, not even a meeting. How could he get any important clues just by listening to her voice in the dark?

Within half a breath, he replied dejectedly, "No more."

Yi Niaoniao laughed: "Then what are you surrendering to? Are you surrendering to yourself?"

Looking at her cold amber eyes under the mask, the fat shopkeeper suddenly felt an unprecedented fear. He opened his mouth as wide as he could and shouted, "Life Stones, I brought all the Life Stones in the inn!"

"Them? Even if you don't bring them, I'll get them myself."

The wooden stick hit the fat shopkeeper's face and penetrated three inches into the stone slab like tofu.

The girl stared at the frightened fat face, "Instead of using these useless things to perfunctorily answer, why don't you tell me where the jade box you mentioned came from?"

"Master, I have already said that the jade box was entrusted to me by my father..."

"Really? Is that so?"

The fat shopkeeper was sweating profusely: "Master, I didn't lie to you! According to my father, this jade box was passed down from my grandfather's generation, and it was only passed to me in this generation!"

Seeing that he still had no intention of changing his words, Yi Niaoniao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Tian Zhong, your father died before you were born."
