Capítulo 1054: Chapter 128: Puppet
The quiet city had every household tightly shut, with no pedestrians daring to show themselves in the streets, resembling a ghost town.
Yet, within such an area, the inside of a Yuefu was bustling with noise and activity.
Pei Laoliu didn’t touch the food before him but kept his mind focused on the nearby dancing girls without a mont of relaxation.
Master Liu wasn’t entranced by the beauty of those people, forgetting to eat.
On the contrary, in Master Liu’s perception, there wasn’t a single living human inside the Drunken Immortal Tower besides him and a group of young noblen!
Those scantily clad dancing girls were all puppets wearing human skin!
The delicacies on the table were all plates of blood-stained leaves!
It must have been a blinding technique cast, though it’s unclear why these young noblen were still eating with such enthusiasm.
“Unexpectedly, these demons know how to use tricks, utilizing the na of this Drunken Immortal Tower to lure those craving beauty over safety, divide, and conquer, being cautious enough.”
Pei Laoliu remained seated throughout, not drinking a sip of water or eating a piece of at.
In front, on the stage under the big tree, the yellow-clad woman’s graceful body began to twist.
The surrounding spectators seed to have had their souls hooked, all staring obsessively, not blinking an eye.
“What’s going on…?”
The man holding the sword initially looked drowsy but bit hard on his tongue tip and suddenly sobered up.
Instinctively, he glanced at the surrounding environnt, only to see the dancing girls who had been busy front and back stopped their actions.
Just like that, they stared unblinkingly at the young noblen around, looking strange enough to send a shiver down one’s spine.
“City Lord was right, there’s indeed sothing wrong here!”
The sword-holding man whispered, then reached out to grab Bai Jie’s arm, trying to take him away.
The man’s na was Ye Lin, the commander personally appointed in the City Lord Mansion, with martial arts skills unrivaled throughout the City Guard Army, even surpassing City Lord Bai Yue.
Originally, this illegitimate young master’s traveling wouldn’t justify his presence.
He went out under the City Lord’s orders, to investigate the demon’s affairs outside.
Until now, he couldn’t help but admit, no matter how unwilling, whatever has been happening lately might truly be inseparable from the legendary monster.
The City Lord Bai Yue imdiately sent his most trusted subordinate to investigate the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Though commoners might not know, according to intelligence from spies in the City Lord Mansion, over a hundred people have consecutively gone missing inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, all adult n, never erging after entering.
Originally, Ye Lin noticed nothing unusual after entering.
The appearance of the waiters and dancing girls seed no different from ordinary people, even appearing to walk lightly without any martial arts skills.
But when the yellow-clad woman appeared, he, along with the surrounding crowd, fell into a daze, unconsciously beginning to move toward the center of the stage.
Now, Ye Lin couldn’t help but understand that he unknowingly fell into their trap.
Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, there might truly hide so unimaginable existence.
“Snap!!”
Three slaps landed on Bai Jie’s face in quick succession.
The confused young master was jolted awake, and Ye Lin imdiately planned to flee the scene with him.
Though Bai Jie was woken up, he remained in a dazed state, failing to keep pace and “thud,” fell to the ground.
The commotion instantly attracted the attention of all the surrounding dancing girls and waiters.
Those people looked over simultaneously like puppets, with vacant eyes void of emotion.
“This is bad!”
Ye Lin cursed inwardly, knowing trouble was afoot.
The martial art he practiced was a swift sword technique, complented by remarkable Lightweight Skill.
If alone, Ye Lin was confident of escaping this place.
However, there was now a burden beside him, making him feel restrained.
Unsure whether to leave by himself or risk bringing the young master along.
After all, that’s the City Lord’s son, albeit an illegitimate child, but still his offspring.
If he leaves now, how would he explain to the City Lord upon returning?
In fact, his decision to take the young master wasn’t voluntary but coincidentally eting him at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and he was forced to confront such a dilemma.
Just during this mont of hesitation, the crowd already surrounded them.
They were trapped from all directions, making Ye Lin montarily unable to advance or retreat, falling into a perilous situation.
“Clang!”
He swiftly drew the treasure sword in his hand, without hesitation, slashing toward an approaching dancing girl.
The dancing girl’s head was imdiately severed, leaving her body without a trace.
Yet, the most eerie part was, even without her head, the woman didn’t collapse, with not a drop of blood from her wound, continuing relentlessly toward Ye Lin.
Ye Lin never anticipated such a scenario, shocked to retreat but it was already too late.
The puppet grasped his treasure sword, refusing to let go, leaving him unable to pull it away.
