Chapter 176
After Qin Yun walked out, he hurriedly headed to the secret chamber from before. This secret chamber was underground and it was a rather spacious hall.
When he arrived at the secret living room, he did not see Duan Qian.
“Boss Xie and the others should be arriving soon. I’ll give them a surprise!” Qin Yun hurriedly hid behind a black wood screen.
Not long after, the door to the secret room was opened. Someone had entered.
Qin Yun, who had hidden himself, saw through a crack in the screen that the person who entered was a woman in a light purple dress.
The woman was slim and elegant, beautiful and alluring. Her every gesture was full of seductive charm. It was Meng Fei Ling!
Meng Fei Ling sat on a chair and waited patiently.
“What is Sister Fei Ling doing here? Does she know I’m still alive? ” Qin Yun thought to himself.
Then two more people came in.
One of them was the burly Huo Zhong. He wore coarse gray clothes and had a simple and honest smile on his face.
Murong’s body was covered in a gorgeous blue silk dress and he held a golden fan. There was a jade pendant hanging by his waist, with a silver belt and inlaid with precious stones. He was dressed extravagantly from beginning to end.
“Demoness Meng!” When Murong Daren saw that beautiful face, he screamed as though he had seen a ghost.
“Murong Daren, you are still as ostentatious as ever! From top to bottom, the most valuable thing about you should be the belt that little brother Yun gave you.” Meng Fei Ling said with a little sadness.
Mentioning Qin Yun, Murong Daren heaved a long sigh. Huo Zhong’s smile had also disappeared as he sat down on a chair with a heavy heart.
“Senior, did you come here to save Xiao Yue Mei?” Huo Zhong asked.
Meng Fei Ling nodded and said, “Xiao Yue Mei and Xiao Yun have a good relationship. Furthermore, in order to avenge Xiao Yun, she did something that I didn’t dare to do. Therefore, no matter what, I must contribute my part.”
At this moment, a handsome man dressed in white walked in. He had a cold expression on his face and only had one arm in front of him. It was Xie Wufeng.
Just as he entered, Qin Yun sensed the sharp sword aura.
When Xie Wufeng saw Meng Fei Ling, he nodded at her, knowing the reason for her visit.
Meng Fei Ling said, “Originally, little Mei Lian wanted to come as well but she isn’t good at this kind of battle, so I didn’t let her come.”
After Xie Wufeng sat down, he said, “Mei Lian is naturally kind and innocent. Try not to involve her in this sort of thing! Senior Meng, you’ve also broken through to the 7th level Martial Body. With you, we’ll be able to relax a lot.”
Murong Daren and Huo Zhong looked over in shock. They did not notice that Meng Fei Ling had stepped into the seventh level martial body.
Qin Yun could tell just now that Meng Fei Ling had a good foundation. It was not strange for her to become a seventh level martial body with a little effort.
“Is Manager Duan not here yet? I’ll go change into some night attire. Maybe we’ll start our operation tonight!” Mu Rong Jun walked towards the black wood screen.
Qin Yun hurriedly messed up his hair and painted his face black. Then, he rolled his eyes.
The moment Murong Danren walked behind the screen, he saw the slovenly Qin Yun. He immediately recognized that the face was Qin Yun’s. It was because he recognized him that he cried out in fright.
“GHOST!” Startled, he fled into the hall like a mouse.
Meng Fei Ling and Xie Wufeng hurriedly stood up. Qin Yun ran out from behind the screen and chased after Murong Da Ren.
“Brother Yun, although I, Murong Daren, love to take advantage of people, I have never thought of taking advantage of you. Please let me go!!” Murong Daren was completely frightened out of his wits and cried out loudly.
Upon seeing Murong Daren’s frightened state, Qin Yun could not help but laugh. “Hahaha!!”
Xie Wufeng, Huo Zhong, and Meng Fei were alarmed when they saw Qin Yun and thought that he had turned into a ghost.
“Damn brat!” Meng Fei Ling could tell that it was the living Qin Yun. She stomped her foot in anger and went over to pinch his ears. She said coquettishly, “You aren’t dead and you still act like a ghost to scare people. Do you know how worried we are for you?”
“Brother Yun, you’re still alive!” Huo Zhong shouted in shock.
Xie Wufeng walked over and patted Qin Yun’s arm. He said with a pleasant smile, “Brother Yun, it’s really you!”
Meng Fei Ling released her hand and rolled her eyes at Qin Yun. She had indeed been frightened just now.
When she had previously heard the news of Qin Yun’s death, she had secretly cried for a period of time.
Qin Yun tidied up his messy hair and wiped his face. He said with a chuckle, “I’m indeed still alive. Second Brother Murong, why are you so afraid and acting like a dog when you usually blow yourself so heavily?”
“This… I was just cooperating with you to scare them! If I don’t do something shameful, I won’t be afraid to knock on the door in the middle of the night!” Mu Rong Jun smiled casually, “Do I look like I’m scared?”
Meng Fei Ling gave a gentle snort, “Forcefully excuse your cowardice!”
Xie Wufeng laughed, “Brother Yun, it’s great that you’re still alive. Otherwise, as your big brother, I would feel very guilty!”
“For all of you to come save Yue Mei, I am extremely grateful to all of you. You truly are my good brothers!” Qin Yun said with a smile.
Huo Zhong asked, “Brother Yun, wasn’t the forbidden area destroyed by a meteorite? How did you escape?”
Speaking of this matter, Xie Wufeng’s expression turned grim. Realizing the seriousness of the few days that Qin Yun and the Soul Refining Demon had spent together, he said with a deep voice, “Brother Yun, please hide the matter of you being alive for the time being! If you want to participate in the engagement banquet, that will be no problem. At that time, Teacher Du and Dean Hou will also be there. With them protecting you, you will be even safer.”
Meng Fei Ling said, “That’s right, that’s right. There’s also the Great Elder of the Divine Inscription Palace, Zhuo Chuan. When he first found out that you had died, he was very sad as well!”
“I have checked and found out. They will be here for the engagement banquet!” Murong Daren said with a smile.
Xie Wufeng frowned as he looked at Qin Yun. He asked in surprise, “Brother Yun, you have cultivated the Golden Bone to the seventh level Martial Body?”
Qin Yun could not help but admire Xie Wufeng because even Meng Feiling could not see his cultivation, while Xie Wufeng could see one thing.
He nodded and said, “Yes, I had a lucky breakthrough!”
This made Meng Fei Ling and company extremely surprised. They thought that Qin Yun no longer had a martial spirit and would not be able to return to his normal cultivation so quickly.
But now, Qin Yun was at the seventh level martial body!
“How did you luckily break through? Can you teach me?!” Murong Darenn asked in shock.
Qin Yun shook his head with a smile.
Xie Wufeng said, “That’s great. We have three 7th Layer Martial Body. We will definitely be able to save Xiao Yue Mei successfully!”
After Duan Qian walked in, Qin Yun and company stood up.
Duan Qian quickly gestured for them to sit down and said, “Let me make this short!”
“Xiao Yue Mei is imprisoned in Xiao Yu Villa’s Xiao Yu Tower! This villa is located in the northwestern part of the Tian Qin Imperial City, about ten thousand meters away from here.
Xie Wufeng was a little surprised, and said: “It’s actually at Xiao Yu Villa? I thought that Xiao Yue Mei was locked in the Tian Xiao Tower, which is the biggest inn in the Qin Empire. It is extremely huge and far surpasses the Xiao Yu Manor.”
Duan Qian said: “Xiao Yu Villa has a small number of people, it’s good for guarding! Furthermore, there are too many people going in and out of the Tian Xiao Tower, which is not good for the guards. Especially during this period of time, the members of the Tian Qin Royal Family were all in the Tian Xiao Tower to welcome the visitors of other famous sects, making the people that come in and out even more complicated.”
“That’s true! How many people were guarding Xiao Yu Villa? What were their strengths? Xie Wufeng asked.
Duan Qian spread out a map on the table. This was the map of Xiao Yu Villa.
From the map, Xiao Yu Tower was located close to the east side. There weren’t many buildings inside the tower and there were quite a few garden, rookery and the like.
Duan Qian replied, “The red areas are all watchtowers! Even though Xiao Yu Villa is the residence of the members of the Tian Xiao Imperial Family when they come here to visit, it is actually the Tian Xiao Empire’s investigation division in the Tian Qin Empire.”
“It’s mainly used to scout for information and inside the warehouse is a storehouse. It stores all sorts of items that are secretly traded and is extremely heavily guarded to begin with.” As far as I know, there is at least one Martial Dao Realm cultivator guarding this place and there are quite a few in the 9th layer Martial Body realm.”
There were more than ten watchtowers, especially near the Xiao Yu Tower. There were seven of them!
“I should be able to easily fly in!” Meng Fei Ling said.
Xie Wufeng looked at Qin Yun and said, “Brother Yun, how is your infiltration ability? Are you confident? ”
Qin Yun used his Black Sun Martial Spirit to merge into the darkness. Therefore, he was very confident. He said with a nod, “I’m confident that I won’t be discovered if I sneak in!”
Xie Wufeng said, “Alright then! When that time comes, I’ll go in with senior sister Meng and take care of the ninth level Martial Body and the other trash! Murong and Huo Zhong are responsible for throwing fire talismans near Xiao Yu Manor. They are responsible for burning a few of the important warehouses to force a portion of the people with them to extinguish the fire.”
“How should we deal with that martial dao realm?” Qin Yun asked with a frown.
Xie Wufeng looked at Duan Qian and said in a deep voice, “Use Soulshake Powder! I’ve asked around and there’s a black market hidden in the Forest Shadow Tower of the Tian Qin Empire. There’s going to be an auction in that market for the Soulshake Powder!”
Qin Yun took a deep breath and said, “Is this true? Someone actually took out the Soulshake powder to sell!”
The Soulshake Powder was a spirit level pill, a type of powder. As long as it was used, all cultivators up to martial dao realm would lose their minds, their marital spirits would stop responding and they can be manipulated by others. It was a forbidden drug!
Duan Qian nodded. “This is true. The underground black market is opened by our Divine Inscription Palace. When the time comes, the required crystal coins will also be quite large. I will do my best to help you!”
“How many crystal coins do I need to buy the Soulshake Powder?” Qin Yun asked.
“I’m not sure. When the time comes, I will use the resources of the Divine Inscription Palace to buy it.” Duan Qian could only use this method to help Qin Yun and company since he could not help them.
There weren’t many Martial Dao Realm experts in the Imperial City. Everyone knew each other well. If he made a move, he would be recognized.
The plan was already set. As long as he obtained the Soulshake Powder, he would be able to move out.
The auction would begin in five days.
Qin Yun immediately returned to his room to craft talismans, creating hypnotism talismans and Body Securing Talismans. He was now able to produce mid-grade beast skin talismans and ensure that they would be effective against stronger martial practitioners.
Xie Wufeng and the others were waiting for the auction to start. As long as they had soulshake powder and made the purchase, they would immediately act.
Five days later, Duan Qian sent people to participate in the auction. Originally, he was confident that he could buy the Soulshake Powder, but after the auction started, news came to him that the seller had suddenly left the auction!
