Peerless Young Master

Li Xuan's face paused and he quickly turned around to look. Under the moonlight, he saw two figures sneaking around the door.

One of them dipped his finger in saliva and poked a hole. A round tube-like object was inserted into the hole, with white smoke coming out of the tube.

"Cover your mouth and nose quickly, this is smoke." The demon covered his nose and mouth and held his breath.

Li Xuan also reacted quickly after hearing this. The latter made a gesture of wiping his neck. Li Xuan shook his head, and then the two of them lay on the bed, closed their eyes, as if they were asleep.

"Okay, be frugal. This is the treasure of the Yellow-browed King. It can even make people at the Earth Realm stun. These two people are ordinary people. Just use a little bit of it and lick some flour." A man's voice sounded at the door.

If Li Xuan were here, he would recognize this person as the innkeeper.

Next to him was a servant holding a long knife in his hand.

The two of them counted ten numbers silently in their minds, then quietly opened the door, walked in, and closed the door.

The servant walked to the bed, looked at the two people sleeping, and whispered, "Boss, they are sleeping like dead pigs."

Hearing this, the innkeeper stepped forward and took a liking to the demon spirit at first sight. He rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of greed.

“I’ve been staying in this shabby place for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful woman;

I want this woman." He then looked at the servant and said viciously: "Shut your mouth. If the Yellow Eyebrow King finds out, I will kill you."

The servant was timid: "Boss, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and never tell anyone... If you get tired of playing with me, just let me play with you."

Hearing this, the innkeeper finally smiled: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly... Lock this man in the cellar, I'm going to have some fun tonight."

Just as the servant was about to grab Li Xuan, a big hand grabbed the servant, raised it up and kicked him, knocking him unconscious.

"You...you're okay?" The innkeeper's pupils widened, his face filled with astonishment, and an egg could be stuffed into his mouth. "Impossible, this is the smoke that the Yellow Eyebrow King gave me. Even a master of the Earth Realm would be affected by it."

Suddenly, his face froze, as if he thought of something, and he showed a look of horror. He turned around and was about to run, but the next second, a figure appeared quickly and subdued him.

Li Xuan walked over and half squatted: "Why are you attacking us, and what the hell is the Yellow Eyebrow King?"

The innkeeper's eyes wandered: "I don't know what you are talking about. I just saw that this woman was too beautiful and I had evil thoughts for a moment. Two heroes, spare my life."

Li Xuan's eyes darkened. He stood up and went to the servant, picked up the long knife on the ground, and returned to the innkeeper again, looking at the long knife in front of him:

"I'll ask you one last time, what do you want to do?"

The innkeeper looked at the long knife, his whole body felt cold, a chill surged in his heart, and he shivered: "Good man, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed the innkeeper's throat and pulled him down hard. The latter fell directly to the ground, stepping on the other's forearm. The tip of the knife pierced directly into the palm of his hand, and blood immediately oozed out.

"what"

The severe pain continued to stimulate the innkeeper, and his body was struggling like an earthworm encountering salt. The painful chill penetrated his spine like a winter wind, making him wail constantly.

Li Xuan grabbed the innkeeper's hair and lifted his head up. His eyes were as cold and sharp as the long knife in his hand: "What do you want to do, and who is that Yellow-browed King?"

As he said this, he put a long knife to his neck, as if he would chop off his head if he told a lie.

The innkeeper's eyes were filled with terror, and his lips were trembling, as if he couldn't even utter a complete sentence;

He couldn't believe that the well-mannered young man in front of him could act so decisively, like a devil.

"I said, I said, don't kill me"

"Yellow Eyebrow King is the biggest bandit in the three nearby mountains. I am his subordinate, responsible for knocking out everyone staying at the inn. When Yellow Eyebrow King sends someone, I will send everyone away."

"Good man, don't kill me, I am just a small follower. All this is the order of the Yellow Eyebrow King, and I am just following his orders."

Li Xuan frowned and looked at the evil spirit. The latter shook his head, obviously not knowing where this Yellow-browed King came from.

"Let me ask you, what is the strength of this Yellow Eyebrow King? How many people do he have under him? What do they want to do by capturing these people?"

"The Yellow Eyebrow King is a master of the Earth Realm, with hundreds of men under his command. As for capturing these people, I don't know what he wants to do. I just follow his orders."

Just as Li Xuan lowered his head in thought, the innkeeper suddenly took action: "Go to hell." As he said that, he threw a handful of white cigarettes from his pocket and ran outside.

However, just as the man reached the door and had no time to open it, a long knife pierced through him. He fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and soon became motionless.

"Are you okay?" The demon spirit came forward, very worried.

Li Xuan shook his head: "I'm fine, I had expected that he would be dishonest and suddenly attack me, but I didn't expect it to be smoke. Fortunately, I have special characteristics and am not afraid of these."

The evil spirit breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dead innkeeper, and then looked at Li Xuan who was calm and composed, and was slightly surprised: "I thought you were just a lucky scholar, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel and act without hesitation."

Li Xuan also smiled and said: "Men are like wine. The longer you are in contact with them, the more you can taste their flavor. But for me, it will take a lifetime."

The "arrogant" demon spirit curled his lips and said: "It's just killing a human realm warrior. When the day comes that you can kill a heaven realm master, I will wash your clothes, cook for you and take care of your children."

"You said it, don't regret it."

"I, the demon spirit, keep my word."

The two joked for a while, and then the demon spirit asked, "What should we do now?"

"This person just said that he is responsible for holding people in the cellar until the Yellow Eyebrow King's men come. Let's go to the cellar first to see if there is anyone there."

Soon, the two men came to the cellar with torches and opened it. A foul smell hit them in the face.

"It stinks!" The demon covered his nose.

There were more than twenty people in the cellar, all lying on the ground unconscious.

Li Xuan walked in, holding his nose, and placed his hand on one of the men's necks. He could still feel the pulse, so he was clearly still alive. "They're still alive. They must have been hit by the smoke."

Immediately, he looked around and saw two burning incense sticks on the wall. He picked up two stones on the ground and flicked his fingers to extinguish the incense sticks.

"We shouldn't stay here for long. It's only nightfall now, and there's still some time until dawn. I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat. We'll rest for a while and leave at the hour of Yin."

Before leaving, Li Xuan opened the cellar door. By the time they left, these people should have woken up and realized that this was a shady shop. They would definitely leave here if they were lucky enough to have escaped with their lives.

At three quarters past three in the morning, it was still pitch black outside, with only a few sparse stars twinkling in the sky. Li Xuan and Mo Ling had quietly left the inn.

The two men were agile and warriors, so they were naturally not afraid of the night and quickly disappeared into the night.
