Chapter 177
Qin Yun and company were in a secret chamber waiting for good news. When they saw Duan Qian enter with an unpleasant expression, they knew that the matter of the Soulshake Powder had turned sour.
Qin Yun asked, “Grandpa Duan, is it because it’s too expensive that you failed to buy it?”
Duan Qian shook his head and sighed, “The person who wanted to sell the Soulshake Powder suddenly stopped. Maybe he was worried that someone would find out. After all, the Soulshake Powder is a forbidden drug, so it’s hard to deal with it now!”
Murong Daren said, “Can you find the person who was selling the Soulshake Powder? We’ll talk to him privately!”
“I can’t find him. This kind of seller can hide his identity very well.” Duan Qian sat down, frowning as he thought of other countermeasures.
Without Soulshake Powder, it would be difficult to deal with the Martial Dao Realm cultivator in Xiao Yu Tower!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the secret room. Duan Qian opened it and saw that it was Meng Fei Ling.
After Meng Fei Ling entered and closed the door, she asked in a deep voice, “General Manager Duan, did you buy the Soulshake Powder?”
Duan Qian shook his head, “No, what’s wrong?”
Meng Fei Ling said, “Fortunately, you didn’t buy it, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble! This is a trap, someone wants to sell the Soulshake Powder through the Divine Inscription Palace’s black market and then use this to deal with the Divine Inscription Palace.”
When Xie Wufeng and the others heard this, they were extremely shocked.
Qin Yun asked, “Sister Fei Ling, how did you know?”
“The creator of the Soulshake Powder is related to our Meng Family. My father and grandfather are both in the Imperial City right now, so I coincidentally heard them talk about it!” Meng Fei Ling said, “They seem to have just found out about this conspiracy!”
Duan Qian frowned, “The person who was supposed to sell the Soulshake Powder didn’t sell it, he withdrew from the auction. Why not?”
“It’s actually like this? It seems like there is a very complex reason behind all of this!” Meng Fei Ling was surprised.
“I’ll go check. Someone is actually trying to set our Divien Inscription Palace up. This is most likely Blue Spirit Palace’s rotten idea from the three palaces.” Duan Qian cursed in a low voice before leaving the room.
After Duan Qian left, Meng Fei Ling said in a low voice, “I know who has the Soulshake Powder. I’m afraid that Superintendent Duan won’t let us take the risk, so I can’t say it in front of him.”
Qin Yun asked anxiously, “Who has it? We have to get it! ”
Meng Fei Ling said, “My grandfather told me that the Soulshake Powder is in the hands of a young woman. With a cultivation base at the ninth level Martial Body realm, she holds a very high position in the Tian Xiao Tower. Only Xiao Xuan Qin would be able to fulfill this condition.”
“Allegedly, Xiao Xuan Qin gathered all the ingredients needed to refine the Soulshake Powder and requested for that person to refine it for her!”
Xiao Xuan Qin was Xiao Yue Mei’s aunt!
Why was the Soulshake Powder in her hands?
Qin Yun suddenly recalled that Xiao Xuanqin and a few others had been in the forbidden area. They might had be planning to use Soulshake Powder on Qiao Ruiwen to ask about the soul refining technique!
“It’s simply impossible for us to obtain the Soulshake Powder from Xiao Xuan Qin!” Xie Wufeng said, “Let’s move out tonight! Brother Yun, although we took a bit of risk, we don’t know if we’ll be able to succeed if we don’t try.”
Qin Yun frowned as his eyes rolled back and forth. He knew very well that it was impossible to obtain the Soulshake Powder from Xiao Xuanqin.
“Let’s do it tonight!” Qin Yun took out a large stack of beast skin spirit talisman and distributed it to Xie Wufeng and company.
There were hypnosis talismans, body immobilization talismans, smoke talismans and fire talismans.
“The Smoke Talisman can emit a thick mist. In this mist, the aura will be very tyrannical and the enemy will not be able to detect it for the time being.”
Qin Yun explained the wondrous uses of various spirit runes and told them some things they needed to pay attention to.
“Senior Meng, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to take care of those watchtowers, right? I want to enter Xiao Yu Villa with Brother Yun! ” Xie Wufeng said.
“With so many talismans in my hands, there’s no problem!” Meng Feiling nodded.
“Murong and Old Huo , you guys are in charge of burning the warehouse! The things stored in the warehouse are extremely important to the people in Xiao Yu Villa. They would go to extinguish the fire first.” Xie Wufeng was the oldest and most experienced, so he was also in charge.
After discussing a detailed plan of action, they all left the Divine Inscription Palace together, lest they be stopped by Duan Qian at night.
If Duan Qian knew that they were going to take action, he would definitely stop them. That was because there were Martial Dao Realm experts in the group and with their strength, they would not be a match for them.
At night, the skies above Tianqin Imperial City were very dark. Thick clouds floated about, completely blocking the starry moon.
Although the busy city was brightly lit, it was dark in a remote area of the imperial city.
Qin Yun and company were dressed in black and wore black headgear. They had arrived outside the tall walls of Xiao Yu Villa.
Huo Zhong and Murong Daren were heading towards the high walls of a few large warehouses. Meng Fei Ling flew into the sky and entered Xiao Yu Manor.
Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng could carefully fly in the sky. They only flew in after Meng Fei Ling entered for a while.
Xiao Yu Villa was extremely quiet and dark, with only the faint light of a lamp. There were many gardens inside that were filled with trees. Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng were moving stealthily in the gardens as they approached Xiao Yu Villa carefully.
Xiao Yu Villa was a small pagoda with a height of five floors and no lights, making it difficult to see in the dark night.
When Qin Yun and company walked out of the garden, they saw a watchtower. The few people on it had been hypnotized by the Hypnosis Talisman.
Meng Fei Ling’s movements was quick. She had dealt with the people on the guard towers near Xiao Yu Villa without making a sound.
After Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng walked out of the garden, they would be able to reach the bottom of Xiao Yu Villa without a hitch.
After arriving at the bottom of the tower, Qin Yun immediately probed the inside with his mental energy.
There was no one on the first floor, nor were there any traps.
After confirming this, he carefully pushed open the door and entered. If he made a sound, he could also use his mental energy to block it.
“There’s nothing on the first level!” Qin Yun was alarmed. He had originally thought that Xiao Yu Villa was a warehouse that stored many precious items.
However, when he entered, it was completely dark and empty. Not even a single person could be seen.
They walked up to the second, third, and fourth levels but they didn’t find anything. Each level was empty.
And he was only missing the fifth level!
They arrived at the fifth floor. It was as dark as the floor below but there was a powerful aura. It was the aura of the 9th level Martial Body realm.
“Who is it?” An old man’s voice could be heard.
Qin Yun hurriedly tossed out a large handful of beast skin talismans. They were both Hypnosis talismans and Body Securing Talismans.
When Xie Wufeng saw Qin Yun throw out a large number of talismans, he did not immediately charge over. Instead, he summoned his Life Sword and blocked the attack in front of him. At the same time, he released his mental strength to its limits.
It was very dark here, so he needed to use his mental power to sense the surroundings.
The ninth level Martial Body cultivator originally wanted to come over but he was confused by the large pile of mid-grade spirit talismans. His body was also entangled by a very strong force. Although he could move, it was much slower than before.
In the darkness, Qin Yun could sense Xie Wufeng’s silent leap forward!
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The only sound that could be heard was that of the ninth levelmartial body cultivator.
Xie Wufeng did it!
Qin Yun used his mind to sense the situation and realized that Xie Wufeng was actually able to quickly stab out several times, killing that martial body level nine martial artist!
He took out a Night Illumination Pearl to illuminate the fifth level and also saw the old man lying on the ground. Even though he was wearing thick armor, he was unable to withstand Xie Wufeng’s frightening Life Sword.
He was secretly shocked by Xie Wufeng’s strength. In an instant, he was able to kill a martial artist at the ninth level martial body!
“The talisman you threw out is very useful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.” Xie Wufeng was also extremely nervous just now. He looked around and frowned, “Xiao Yue Mei is not here!”
“Could it be that Grandpa Duan obtained the wrong information?” Qin Yun closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He said, “There’s remaining aura of Yue Mei. She stayed here before!”
Xie Wufeng walked to the table in the middle and said, “She was moved! It should have been not long ago!”
He gave a “hmm” and looked at the items on the table.
Qin Yun quickly walked over and realized that the round table was filled with complex spirit marks. In the middle of the round table was a pitch-black key!
Xie Wufeng reached out his hand to grab the key. Qin Yun hurriedly pulled him back.
“Be careful!” Qin Yun said, “This is a terrifying array formation!”
He took out the Giant King Spirit Hammer and fiercely hammered it on the table.
After the table was broken, a large gust of cold air gushed out, causing them to shiver.
Following that, Xiao Yu Villa also began to tremble!
“It’s about to collapse!” Xie Wufeng picked up the black key and rushed over to the wall. With his sword, he created a large hole and flew out with Qin Yun.
A large group of people came from all directions. There were even people at the 7th or 8th level Martial Body realm and they discovered that there were people flying in the air. Just as they were about to attack, they heard someone shout, “Fire, fire!! The warehouse is on fire!”
In the pitch-black Xiao Yu Villa in the south, flames shot up into the sky, flames roared and thick smoke billowed out.
Murong Daren and Huo Zhong lit up a few large warehouses.
Their main responsibility was to guard the warehouse. Since the items inside were very important, they all went to guard it.
Only two or three martial body eighth level martial artists were chasing after Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng.
Qin Yun threw out a few fire talismans to slow down the three eighth level Martial Body cultivators. Then, he quickly flew out of Xiao Yu Villa and those people did not chase after him.
Duan Qian, who was in the upper echelons of the Divine Inscription Palace, could see the flames shooting into the sky from tens of thousands of meters away. Immediately, he could guess that it was Qin Yun and company.
“These brats, they actually hid it from me and attacked!” He quickly went downstairs and saw Huo Zhong and Murong Daren walking in from the back of the hall.
Just as Duan Qian was about to reprimand them, he saw Meng Fei Ling, Qin Yun, and Xie Wufeng walk in. They were dressed in night attire.
“You all!! What a load of nonsense, what if something happened?” Seeing that everyone could return, Duan Qian also felt more at ease.
Qin Yun said, “Aren’t we fine? That’s right, Grandpa Duan, Yue Mei is not in the Xiao Yu Villa! They just moved her, we don’t know where they went. Can you help us look them up?”
Duan Qian was slightly shocked, “They actually moved! Fortunately, you ran away. Otherwise, there might be people at the Martial Dao Realm there and you might not be able to return!”
