100 Villain Royale 2
Xu Lanying and Xu Xiuying kept on searching for Xiong Zhenzhen and a large group of VY disciples. They had scanned through every floor, except the underground floors, but they couldn't find them anywhere.
Xu Xiuying went through all CCTV camera footage, but the files after a certain time went missing. In anger, Xu Xiuying summoned Qi Hong and Qi Ning to question them.
"Do you know anything about the CCTV records?"
Qi Hong shook her head, "I was in charge of monitoring Xu Miao. Aside from the footages that Xu Miao has contacted both elder Yao Lan and Long Meifang, I didn't see anything else."
"What about his two yin slaves?"
"They've returned to Xu Miao's side after he had some sort of a deal with Long Meifang. None of them went out of the room after that."
Xu Lanying and Xu Xiuying nodded, satisfied that Qi Hong told them the truth. These succubi could detect lies, and they were in the middle of the elimination process.
Qi Hong was definitely a loyal subordinate.
Now, it was Qi Ning's turn, "Do you know anything?"
"I was in the staff meeting room with senior Yao Lan. I haven't touched anything relating to CCTV."
Qi Ning didn't lie, but she didn't tell them what she did in the meeting room.
"What are you doing with Yao Lan?"
"We were discussing prisoner management."
Xu Lanying grinned, "I'm interested. What did you talk about?"
Qi Ning paused as she was aware that she couldn't lie in front of these two monsters. She revealed a part of the truth, "We chatted about the issues that mysterious noise of our disciples could be heard from the B6 and B8 floor."
"Oh? Continue."
"I asked Elder Yao Lan about the source of those voices. That's all."
Xu Lanying snickered, "That's it? Are you sure?"
"…"
"I don't think someone like you would be worried about the noise from the ventilation systems," Xu Lanying mocked Qi Ning, "Did you suspect that some inner disciples sneak into the underground floor?"
"Disciples can enter the underground floor to test their new skills. It's possible."
"True. Well, we haven't checked the underground levels, haven't we?" Xu Lanying laughed and looked at her daughter, "Shall we inspect the dungeon if the rats are hiding in there?"
Xu Xiuying nodded. She ignored Qi Ning and led her mother toward the elder elevator, which could access the rear entrance of the underground floors.
When both Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying were gone, Qi Ning turned to her twin sister, "It's time for you to choose, Hong."
Qi Hong snorted, "I'm a dual cultivator. If I pick the Zhu Clan, I will be treated like shit. If I'm with the Xu clan, at least I can still thrive."
"And end up like one of those insane girls."
"…"
"None of us can fight against Xu Lanying. How are we going to fight against her?"
"We're not fighting her. We're running away from here."
"That won't make things better for me."
Qi Ning sneered, "Then, go talk to your favorite pet. Maybe he can recommend you to the Wei Clan."
"…"
"Hahahaha! Who knows? Maybe he can become someone great and take an old hag like you as his concubine! Hahahaha!"
Qi Ning left Qi Hong while she texted to Yao Lan and Xiong Zhenzhen, informing them that Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying were coming for them.
Qi Hong glared at her twin sister with hatred. She wanted to rat everything to Xu Xiuying, but she didn't dare to do so.
After all, she was aware of how cruel the Xu Clan was.
'Fuck! Do you think I even have a choice? Do you think I enjoy being Xu Xiuying's underling!? Do you think I take this cultivation path for glory? I'm a victim, too. I just want to survive as a cultivator…'
Qi Hong's eyes gleamed as she had made her decision.
.
Despite the strict search, Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying couldn't find a trace of Yao Lan, Xiong Zhenzhen, and various inner disciples. They even checked the secret B7 cells, but they found no one other than the bloodthirsty disciples and broken girls.
Both women continue searching outside the building, thinking that they might have escaped to the city. Bounties of all missing disciples and Yao Lan had been posted on the CP hall.
JY disciples scrambled to search for clues in brothel and nearby settlements as the rewards were tempting. For almost a week, everyone was in frantic, running around the city.
However, one person took advantage of a peaceful period, staying in his room while strengthening himself.
…
Today was the day.
6 AM in the morning, Xu Miao stood in front of the basin mirror after he washed his hands for the last time. He dressed in a red dragon gown, the traditional wedding outfit for men. He stared into his red pupils in the mirror while his right eyebrow couldn't stop twitching.
Something was telling him not to take part in this wedding. His instinct cried that this event might be a disaster.
'Fuck. I have a bad feeling about this. Xu Xiuying hasn't corrected my disguise form, and those Wei clansmen had seen my true face. Won't there be any problem with my current form and my identity?'
Xu Miao fixed his long white hair, adjusting his wig and his pre-made hairdo, so the decoration headwear was in position.
"It's time to go, master."
Jiang Lan and Kang Yan dressed in long pink dresses, which was more reserved than the sect's lewd uniform. They also had a traditional hairstyle with needle pins in their topknots. With light makeups, their face revealed the true charm of pretty women, which could outshine the modern world plastic superstars.
Behind them, ten thin women in pink robes stood in lines. These girls were once the mental patients that Long Meifang gave him. But currently, their eyes contained bright lights of confidence and self-awareness.
"Let's go. Pan Xiaofan, stay here and wait for my order. Keep your phone close and stand by."
Pan Xiaofan, who once had lost her sanity, already regained her conscience. She bowed toward Xu Miao, "Yes, master."
The nine other women also followed suit, "We'll wait for your return, master."
Xu Miao grinned. Brainwashing these former mental patients was easier than converting Jiang Lan or Kang Yan. Furthermore, these new slaves had interesting bloodlines.
He checked the status of his subordinates.
.
Jiang Lan, Stage 3 Level 3
Kang Yan, Stage 3 Level 3
Pan Xiaofan, Stage 2 Level 5, Lesser Succubus Bloodline
Fang Meirong, Stage 2 Level 4, Lesser Vampire Bloodline
.
Eight other yin slaves had either lesser succubus bloodline or lesser vampire bloodline. Only Jiang Lan and Kang Yan were without them.
Xu Miao had already figured that the bloodline and their weak psyche might be the reason for their mental illness. But now, those evil bloodlines couldn't influence their decision anymore.
'12 Yin slaves, so that makes it 120,000 fucking essences to buy a ring for each of them. This will be quite a grind. For now, I should prioritize upgrading the most useful weaponry and skills first.'
Xu Miao left the room and descended to the ground floor, where a wedding caravan had been prepared in advance.
A 3-meter tall golden carriage parked in front of the brothel. Around the ancient vehicle, several JY disciples in full plate armors stood around it. Although it was not the time to move to the mountain goose sect yet, they were ready to move at any moment.
Surprisingly, the guardians of Xu Miao, Qi Hong and Long Meifang, were not around. Even Xu Xiuying was nowhere in sight.
Xu Miao looked around. The appointed time was 6.30 AM, but no important person was here yet. Only the subordinates were here.
"Where is my mother, anybody knows?"
JY disciples gave Xu Miao a skeptical look. They had already learned from rumors that Xu Miao was not a biological son of Xu Xiuying, so they didn't show the same respect toward him as usual.
"We don't know, sir."
Xu Miao sighed. A few weeks ago, these women were dying to have sex with him. Now, they looked at him as if he were a parasite.
'Dumb bitches. Dumb bitches are everywhere. Because I have short hair, they hate me. Oh well, it's their loss. Why should I expect anything from those thots?'
Xu Miao gave up all hopes on them. If they were lucky, they might cross paths again after this wedding.
The right eyebrow still didn't stop twitching. Black cloud covered the sky, and a bolt of lightning flashed, following by a thunderous roar.
No matter how Xu Miao looked at it, all signs showed that it was an ill omen.
'Who the fuck picked a cloudy day as a wedding day!? You people can make smartphones, but can't you lots predict the fucking weather!?'
.
.
.
"Is this the place?"
A hundred old men were floating above the Mountain Goose City.
A golden embroidered Chinese character, [Han], was engraved on everybody's black robes. It was the uniform of the Imperial officials, who served the Emperor.
These old men were observing the endless caravans, which were moving toward the northern district.
The people of those caravans had a high cultivation base. The weakest man was at the initial state of the 4th-rank. After a rough count, at least 3,000 male cultivators had flocked into this city, and their eyes failed to hide their lust and greed.
Their goals were the same as the flying old men, whose strength was superior to these traveling cultivators.
"The Mountain Goose Sect. I heard that Jia Shan's cultivation has been ruined."
"Pitiful bastard. He shouldn't have trusted Xu Xiuying and Wei Huang."
"At least, he's still alive. Should we rescue him and invite him as a guest elder?"
"An elder without a cultivation base? No, thank you. His majesty doesn't need a useless person."
"Chancellor Dong Zhongying, even though Jia Shan is now without a cultivation strength, he was once a sword saint. His swordsmanship can be useful to his majesty."
"As I said, I don't need a useless person! Jia Shan is an obstinate bastard that refuses to kill his enemies. He deserves it!"
"… Very well."
The leader of all old men was a big belly man with a long messy beard and tanned skin. His fat belly under his robes was jiggling as he descended to the city.
Despite having an ugly round nose and countless acne scars on his black face, his cultivation base was at the late stage of the 6th rank.
This man was working for the Imperial Family, and he was serving as the Chancellor, the mentor of the crown prince.
Dong Zhongying had received a direct order from the emperor to investigate the appearance of time-and-space user rumor. Should he locate the practitioner, he had to secure the secret of time-and-space no matter what the cost.
The ability to stop or reverse time was something that the imperial family couldn't overlook. They mobilized their best troops to search for clues.
Dong Zhongying had an inspiration when he gazed at the eastern district of the Mountain Goose City. He heard that a brothel of the Silver Phoenix Sect located there, "Come to think of it, do you guys remember if his majesty allows us to kill? Li Wenyou, do you remember?"
"No. Aside from validating the existence of the time-and-space practitioner, he never said that he forbade killing."
"How about kidnapping, plundering, or taking women as slaves?"
"Hahaha! Chancellor, his majesty never forbade anything."
"That means…"
"Anything goes."
"HAHAHAHAHA!!"
