Chapter 100 - Ling Qing’er Arrived (5)

“You think I wanted to let them? There were 2 Profound Realm experts on site at that time. I could only lead my men to safeguard the civilians at one side. However, they were also afraid of me and did not fight for long before dispersing.”

“They were so brazen?” Little Zhou asked in astonishment.

“Yes.” Shen Yiming replied while nodding his head.

“So what do we do now?”

“The Yellow Sand Sect Master is getting married tomorrow. He sent me an invitation. I plan to bring you guys along,” Shen Yiming said.

“How old is he?”

“He’s older than your father. He could be your grandfather.”

“F*ck! Isn’t this robbing the cradle?” Little Zhou cursed out loud.

Pow!

Xiao Ran knocked his head and said, “Be quiet.”

He then looked at Shen Yiming.

“I don’t suppose it’s just simply a wedding reception?”

“You’ve hit the nail on the head. When we go over tomorrow, on the surface, it’s to attend the wedding reception. We’ll look for opportunities in secret to see if we can catch them all in one fell swoop. With the crimes they’ve committed in the Qing Province over the years, even ten deaths won’t be enough punishment for them,” Shen Yiming said.

“Why not transfer men from the provincial base?” Xiao Ran asked in puzzlement.

Shen Yiming shook his head. “The current governor is very close to the Sacred Martial Bureau. We are at loggerheads with them. If we ask them for help, not only will they roll their eyes at us, they will also ignore us.”

Note: Provincial 1st-level official rank – governor (primary third grade), magistrate (secondary third grade), superintendent (primary fourth grade).

“So we are the only ones involved in this matter? The Sacred Martial Bureau won’t interfere?” Xiao Ran asked.

“They’re in charge of the Dark Netherworld Sect. With the support of the Qing Province, the Dark Netherworld Sect has restrained themselves a lot recently. However, it’s not that simple to destroy them,” Shen Yiming said.

“I understand.” Xiao Ran nodded his head.

“You guys have been traveling all day. It’s getting late. I’ve arranged rooms for you. Have a good bath and sleep well. We’ll discuss again tomorrow.”

Both subordinates left.

After entering his assigned room,

Xiao Ran showered and then put out the lights to rest.

Dancer leaned by the side of the bed and perform guard duty diligently.

The next day,

after breakfast, the three of them sat in the hall. Shen Yiming handed over two packets, one for each of them, and explained his plan.

“This is the Spirit Calming Powder. I paid a high price to procure this for a special purpose. Once consumed, the spirit energy will dissipate within 15 minutes. Even a Grand Master won’t be able to resist its power. When we reach the Yellow Sand Sect hideout, we will separately try to find an opportunity to put this powder into the wine. When they have fallen for our ruse, we’ll immediately release a signal flare to give the sign to the people lying in ambush outside to rush in and take them down together.”

“Since they have the guts to invite us, they must have made preparations. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to find an opportunity to implement our plan,” Xiao Ran said.

Shen Yiming’s eyes flashed viciously.

“If we can’t find an opportunity, we can only attack head-on when the Yellow Sand Sect Master consummates his marriage. In that case, we probably won’t even have a 50% chance of winning.”

It was almost time to move.

The three of them rode out of the city and rushed towards the hideout of the Yellow Sand Sect.

The headquarters of the Yellow Sand Sect was not in the city. Only their branch office was located in the prefecture city, and their lair was located close to the Sand River.

When they arrived at the plum blossom forest, plum blossoms bloomed everywhere. It was incredibly beautiful and the fragrant aroma wafting everywhere was particularly appealing.

Just as they were about to pass by this forest, a desperate and helpless cry could be heard coming from inside. “No! Please let me go…”

The three of them stopped in their tracks.

As his expression turned icy cold and his fury soared outwards, Shen Yiming turned his horse around and was about to charge inside.

Xiao Ran, however, reached out to stop him. “I’ll go! You guys go ahead to the Yellow Sand Sect first.”

“Be careful! Come over quickly after you’re done,” Shen Yiming reminded him.

With Xiao Ran taking charge, he was not worried at all.

“I know,” Xiao Ran replied.

He jumped off his horse and dashed inside.

When he reached the inner depths of the plum blossom forest, a young man with demonic aura surging around him was putting on his clothes. He was stunned when he saw Xiao Ran, a member of the Divine Sword Guards dressed in a sapphire sword robe, rushed into sight.

Then, he smiled sinisterly and licked his lips lasciviously. He pointed to the girl’s corpse on the ground and said, “You people are really persistent! I can even bump into one of you when I conduct my business.”

“You’re worse than those criminals who deserved to die. You don’t even let innocent people off.” Xiao Ran was very angry.

He strode menacingly towards him.

“Innocent? No! In our eyes, you humans are all goods, to be taken and used at will,” said the young man.

“You must be dreaming!” Furious, Xiao Ran launched his attack.

With one step forward, he reappeared in front of the felon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His fingers curled into a fist, and rays of golden light burst out from it, culminating in a destructive force that blasted his chest.

It was too fast. Before the young man could react, he was sent flying and severely injured.

“You… you’re at the Profound Realm!” The young man gasped in shock.

He struggled to his feet from the ground, trying hard to endure his serious injuries and desperately tried his best to escape.

“You can’t escape.” Xiao Ran said with a sneer.

A terrifying pressure instantly pressed down on his body. Using his profound strength, he forcefully immobilized him on the spot.

“I will make you wish you were dead!”

30 consecutive shots of Heavenly Slave Divine Finger were blasted into his body.

Wretched screams came from his mouth.

Even a Profound Realm expert could not withstand 15 shots of Heavenly Slave Divine Fingers. He was only at Level 10 of the Grand Master Realm, so how could he withstand 30 shots?

He reverted to his original form. It was a tiger demon, nearly 200 feet tall.

It rolled and writhed on the ground with all its might, grabbing at its flesh with its sharp claws, tearing off huge chunks of it.

Xiao Ran watched him without mercy and was totally unmoved.

By attacking ordinary people, he had already crossed the line. They must pay for it by dying in despair with unbearable pain.

Less than a quarter of an hour later,

the tiger demon clawed itself to death. Flesh and blood were strewn everywhere on the ground, and there was no part of its body that was intact. Blood covered the whole ground.

The Golden Tome of Creation opened to a random page and displayed two items.
