Chapter 217 Uproar in Bianliang
"how is the taste?"
"I wonder if it suits Master's taste?"
Duan Zhengchun looked at Qiu Chuji, who was enjoying a bowl of soup noodles, and asked him with a smile.
After his careful comforting words, Qiu Chuji's worried expression finally eased considerably, and he agreed to eat something.
"Yes, Not Bad!"
"I never expected you to be such a skilled cook."
Qiu Chuji nodded in satisfaction, a pleased smile on his face.
Duan Zhengchun sat down with a smile and made himself a bowl as well.
And so, for the first time, the master and apprentice squatted in a corner of the kitchen, chatting and laughing as they each ate a bowl of noodles.
If others were to see them, they would never guess that one of them is the leader of the Quanzhen Sect and the other is the renowned Lingxiao Sword Demon.
After they finished eating, Duan Zhengchun personally escorted Qiu Chuji back to his residence.
"I know you'll find them. No matter what, don't let them die out there..."
Just as Duan Zhengchun was about to turn and leave, Qiu Chuji, who had already closed the door halfway, suddenly said something meaningful.
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely bring them back alive!"
Duan Zhengchun agreed without turning his head, and then left Chongyang Palace directly.
A small town inn.
Duan Zhengchun sat solemnly at the table, with a pot of wine on his right, the cup already empty.
He did not choose to stay overnight at the Quanzhen Sect, since he was no longer a member of the Quanzhen Sect, and it would also be inconvenient for the Qingyi Guards to send messages.
The disappearance of Lin Zhiyuan and Xiao Shiqi was too sudden. It was the first time he had seen his master looking so haggard.
After a long while, a soft knocking sounded on the door.
"Enter!"
Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and responded in a deep voice.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and a guard in blue robes walked in.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, it has been determined that the two were captured by martial arts experts under the command of the Mongol Royal Court. Moreover, the other party seems to have known their whereabouts perfectly, and did so without lifting a finger!"
"My guess is that the two of them... were betrayed by their own people!"
The guards in blue robes bowed and respectfully reported the news.
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he coldly asked, "Where are they now?!"
The guard in blue robes respectfully replied, "Bianliang!"
Duan Zhengchun immediately stood up, slung his sword case over his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Send men to secretly block all the key roads in Zhongnan Mountain and keep a close watch on them. If there is really a traitor within the sect, he will definitely be exposed!"
The guard in blue immediately and respectfully agreed. By the time she looked up, Duan Zhengchun had already left the inn and was riding his white horse straight towards Bianliang.
...
Three days later.
Duan Zhengchun rode alone into Bianliang City and stopped in front of a pawnshop.
"Sir, please come inside."
The waiter at the door hurriedly stepped forward, took the reins, and respectfully gestured for them to enter.
Duan Zhengchun dismounted and walked inside without looking back.
In a side room in the backyard, Duan Zhengchun sat expressionlessly in a chair, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand.
Soon, the innkeeper slowly walked in with a voluptuous woman, then bowed and withdrew, closing the door behind him.
"Your subordinate greets the Sect Master!"
As soon as the door closed, the alluring woman immediately bowed respectfully to Duan Zhengchun and greeted him.
She is the true owner of this pawnshop and the leader of the Bianliang branch of the Green-Clad Guard.
"Any leads?!"
Duan Zhengchun asked coldly.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I have confirmed that Lin Zhiyuan and Xiao Shiqi have indeed been captured and taken to Bianliang City, and are being held in the residence of the Bianliang garrison commander!"
The alluring woman answered hastily.
Is the person still alive?!
Duan Zhengchun pressed for an answer.
"Still alive! It seems the other side didn't capture him to kill him, but rather to take him hostage. I've personally investigated, and the general's mansion is heavily guarded, with twice the usual number of guards!"
The alluring woman nodded affirmatively.
"Move out at midnight tonight, leave no one alive!"
Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
The alluring woman agreed, secretly glanced at Duan Zhengchun's gloomy face, and slowly left the room.
In the dead of night.
Dozens of agile figures swept towards the same direction from all directions, casting a suffocating and murderous aura over the entire city of Bianliang.
General's Mansion.
Duan Zhengchun, with his sword case on his back, stood coldly on the highest roof ridge, gazing out over every corner of the General's Mansion.
Night had fallen, and the entire general's mansion was pitch black, with only the guards who patrolled by from time to time carrying four torches, two in front and two behind.
Tonight there is no moon; it seems like a night for murder!
Duan Zhengchun took a deep breath and slowly waved his right hand. Immediately afterward, dozens of dark figures rushed into the General's Mansion, killing anyone they saw and clearing out every room!
The patrolling guards rushed over, but before they could even see the assassins clearly, they all fell into pools of blood.
The entire general's mansion was in chaos, filled with desperate screams and wails. Only a small courtyard in the backyard was completely silent, as if it didn't belong to the general's mansion at all.
The two guards standing at the archway of the courtyard were looking around anxiously, but they never left the archway.
Duan Zhengchun sneered and leaped down, heading straight for the small courtyard, arriving in the blink of an eye.
"who?!"
The two guards at the gate saw Duan Zhengchun suddenly appear out of nowhere and immediately drew their weapons, shouting questions.
Duan Zhengchun ignored him, not even glancing away, and walked straight toward the archway.
Upon seeing this, the two guards immediately brandished their weapons and rushed towards Duan Zhengchun, trying their best to kill him!
But soon, a figure flashed by, and Duan Zhengchun had already launched two attacks at the same time!
With two muffled groans, the two men were sent flying backward, and as the door shattered, they breathed their last.
After entering the courtyard, Duan Zhengchun stopped and looked around before heading straight for the main house.
There was breathing noise inside the room!
And it wasn't just one person!
Just as Duan Zhengchun was about to step onto the stone steps at the door, the doors and windows suddenly shattered, and two figures rushed out, one wielding a knife and the other a sword, attacking Duan Zhengchun frantically!
Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly, his toes touched the ground instantly, and he easily swept backward. Then, he flicked out his right index and middle fingers one after the other!
With two clanging sounds of metal striking metal, the two men landed on the stone steps, their weapons nearly flying from their hands.
"The One-Finger Divine Skill of Dali! It truly lives up to its reputation!"
One of them looked coldly at Duan Zhengchun and couldn't help but praise him.
"But why do I feel that it's not the One Finger Divine Skill, but more like the long-lost Six Meridians Divine Sword!"
The other person frowned and hesitated before speaking.
Duan Zhengchun slowly untied the sword case, stood it at his feet, and looked at the two men with interest before calmly saying, "Is it possible that they are both?"
The two people in front of me are not soldiers, but martial arts masters.
"Could it be that you combined the One-Finger Divine Skill and the Six Meridian Divine Sword to create another set of finger techniques?!"
The first person to speak looked at Duan Zhengchun with a surprised expression, his brows furrowed in disbelief.
"Hand over the people, and maybe I can let you die a little more comfortably."
However, Duan Zhengchun had no intention of wasting any more breath on them, and changed the subject, speaking coldly.
"I'm sorry, but we have lives on our hands and cannot release them unless they are dead."
The man also suppressed his curiosity, stared intently at Duan Zhengchun, and answered in a deep voice.
Although they already knew Duan Zhengchun's identity, they were not afraid in the slightest.
"If that's the case, then die!"
Duan Zhengchun said coldly, then suddenly rushed out like lightning. With a dragon's roar, the Lingxiao Sword was already unsheathed!
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun transformed into three figures. Two rushed towards the two people guarding the steps, while one broke through the main room door and disappeared in a flash!
The two people standing on the stone steps originally intended to compete with the famous Lingxiao Sword Demon, but before they could even make a move, they had already lost all ability to fight back!
They didn't even have a chance to make a move!
At this moment, Duan Zhengchun was standing between the two men, holding their heads in his hands and lifting them up into the air!
Nine Yin Divine Claw!
Blood gradually flowed from their seven orifices as they stared in terror at Duan Zhengchun, who was standing right in front of them, their eyes filled with despair!
