At that mont, Lü Zhong suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed ahead.
"Mmm... Mmm..."
The intermittent sounds of a woman’s voice drifted out of the room.
The Spirit-Hosted Puppet was still carrying out Lü Zhong’s orders. Tireless, it would not stop until midnight.
In the shadows not far away, three figures were lurking.
"Pah! What a waste of good won on a pig."
One of them cursed, indignant.
"Exactly! We finally managed to lure in two good-looking female cultists, but I never thought we’d let that piece of trash have them!" the other chid in, clearly furious that the Heling Sect disciple inside had taken both beauties for himself.
Why should they be stuck outside, all hot and bothered, while so piece of trash from a Sect gets to have a woman in each arm?
"Shut up!" a woman’s voice snapped from beside them.
Guu Xii suppressed the lustful thoughts in her heart, cutting off her two subordinates. She rebuked them in a low voice, "He’s a dead man walking. Why do you even care about him? If anything goes wrong when we take him down, don’t bla for being ruthless!"
"Enough talk. Follow now and let’s capture this specin. We can’t miss out on such pri material for limb-attaching..."
"Yes!" the two Limb-Attaching Sect Cultists replied ekly.
Several walls away, Lü Zhong heard every single word of their conversation.
’Heh, so coming here was the right call!’
Just as he’d expected, the Limb-Attaching Sect chose to make their move tonight.
A sword slipped from each sleeve. Lü Zhong silently followed them, preparing to catch the trio by surprise.
Of the three, the two subordinates were only at the third or fourth layer of Mid-stage Qi Refining; they were likely just minions.
’The one with the highest cultivation is the female cultivator. The aura she’s exuding is at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. If I can capture and interrogate her, I might get the information I want.’
In the three-courtyard mansion, the Spirit-Hosted Puppet was still faithfully carrying out its orders as decadent sounds continued to drift from the room.
Guu Xii led her two subordinates into the room. With a chop of her hand, she prepared to knock out the target on the bed.
But as she struck, she realized the sensation was clearly wrong.
"We’ve been tricked! It’s a Puppet!"
’Despicable, shaless, degenerate!’
The mont these thoughts arose in Guu Xii’s mind, she saw two streaks of light flash past.
The two Mid-stage Qi Refining Limb-Attaching Sect Cultists were decapitated by a single sword strike. At the sa ti, the Spirit-Hosted Puppet on the bed moved, strangling the two female cultists to death.
The four of them, paired up two by two, could now be couples on the road to the Yellow Springs, thus fulfilling their earlier desires.
"If I were you, I wouldn’t move an inch."
A cold male voice sounded by Guu Xii’s ear.
At the sa ti, a long golden sword was laid against her neck, drawing a line of blood.
Guu Xii was certain that if she made another move, she would truly follow in her two subordinates’ footsteps.
Thinking of the blood feud she carried, she gave up resisting.
CRACK! A dark-colored bead was knocked from her hand. It fell to the ground and rolled about before being snatched up by a hand conjured by a Magic Skill. After a thorough inspection, it was passed to a young man.
"Heh, a Dark Thunder Bead!"
Lü Zhong looked at Guu Xii with a cold smile. ’As expected of the direct heiress of an exterminated Foundation Establishnt Clan. A starved cal is still bigger than a horse. To think she even has a Thunder Bead like this, worth one thousand Spirit Stones a piece.’
The bead’s power was considerable; it could even injure a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator. Getting hit by it ant certain death or severe injury.
’This bead might co in handy later.’
Lü Zhong checked it one more ti to confirm there were no hidden tricks left on it before putting it into his Storage Bag.
Afterward, he placed several Prohibitions on his captive, sealing her Dantian.
This way, unless she possessed a rare Secret Skill, she would have no power to fight back.
"I’ll ask, you’ll answer!"
"No problem!" Guu Xii said, resigned to her fate.
Her cooperation took Lü Zhong by surprise, but when he considered her background of seeking revenge, it began to make sense. After all, hatred could blind a person to all else.
’If I exploit this, I might actually be able to control this woman.’
’But that’s not the priority right now...’ Lü Zhong pushed the stray thoughts aside.
After a round of detailed questions and answers, he really did obtain a lot of useful information.
