Chapter 468: Chapter 304: Tang Feng Falls, Jingchun Captured, Gathering at Flying Dragon City, Reunion with Nianjun!! (Part 2)

Wang Long said, "There is indeed a box, with a faint floral scent. But the fragrance is light, I don’t know what it’s for." Jing Chun Daoist replied, "There is indeed suspicion!"

Ji Hui asked, "Oh? Master, please tell us, where exactly is the suspicion?" Jing Chun Daoist said, "If my guess is correct, what’s inside are flower ropes. The Flower Cage Sect is extremely cunning. I once had fellow disciples captured by them, and I led the rescue mission. At that time, my experience was shallow, and I passed by the sect several times without realizing it. It’s evident how cunning this sect is, adept at hiding themselves."

"Without such experience, this matter would undoubtedly allow them to escape again. The ropes for capturing women within the Flower Cage Sect are called ’flower ropes’, made from the roots of certain flowers. Whether it’s true or not, just pry open the box and you’ll know."

Wang Long and Ji Hui both held their breath. Jing Chun Daoist flicked his duster, the white silk suddenly extended and intertwined densely, wrapping around the two. He lifted his left hand, opened the window, and his figure floated out, soundlessly landing in the warehouse.

Jing Chun Daoist withdrew the duster. Wang Long and Ji Hui landed steadily. Wang Long, holding a longsword, chopped open the lock. Opening the box, they indeed saw countless rolls of flower ropes inside. Ji Hui realized these are used to capture women, her face flushed, turning her head away. Jing Chun Daoist’s expression was peculiar, but with deeper experience, he didn’t lose composure.

It turns out...

The Flower Cage Sect used the Water Altar, traveling along a very long waterway. This box of flower ropes, made from root materials, gradually blossomed under the moist air. Though Tang Feng was cautious along the way, he never expected Jing Chun Daoist to be so alert. This was indeed the flaw that exposed his identity completely.

Wang Long, shocked and furious, exclaimed, "It really is that group of thieves!"

He said, "Master, what should we do now? Either seize the king first while the opportunity presents itself and capture the leader of those thieves." After speaking, he spun his sword, the longsword emitting a resounding sound.

Ji Hui echoed, "With Master’s martial arts, we can support from the side, first kill the chief of the bandits, then the remaining small thieves."

Jing Chun Daoist said, "Your solution is indeed correct, but not applicable here." In the past, at the Sword Sect in Mount Yue, she and her fellow senior brother took on the task of overhauling the Flower Cage Sect. They aimed to seize the king first, cooperating to kill the elders of the Flower Cage Sect. Those elders had cultivation but their martial arts mastery was not up to par. During the joint attack, they quickly showed signs of defeat.

However, his subordinates gathered together and formed an array, making them immediately overwhelming. Later, her brother died, her senior sister was captured, but she escaped narrowly. To this day, she does not know her senior sister’s whereabouts, which made her feel tragic and sigh deeply occasionally. Times have changed, though she is different now, she does not wish to repeat her mistakes, and said, "The Flower Cage Sect is extremely good at coordinating with arrays. We must first sever its limbs, then its head. We need to start by killing those small fry."

Jing Chun Daoist feared Wang Long and Ji Hui might not understand the capabilities of the Flower Cage Sect, so she said further, "If they are allowed to form an array, even if I, the Master, might be at risk of being captured. Long’er, you are even more in danger of losing your life." Her face flushed slightly, as these words might diminish morale and tarnish her dignity. But caution is necessary. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Wang Long and Ji Hui truly furrowed their brows and felt deep crisis after hearing her words, daring not to be negligent anymore. Jing Chun Daoist said, "The three of us will act together. Hui’er, Long’er, be extremely careful, listen to my instructions." Wang Long and Ji Hui replied in unison, "Yes!"

Jing Chun Daoist maneuvered closely and stealthily. The ’Guest Inn’ was quite large, with rooms spaced at a distance. Jing Chun Daoist utilized lightweight skill to move unnoticed and went into a nearby bedroom.

Inside was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat, quite foul. Three people were sleeping in the room, already snoring. Observing their dress and attire, they were ordinary workers who moved goods. Wang Long hesitated a bit and glanced at Jing Chun Daoist.

Jing Chun Daoist understood the Flower Cage Sect’s many evil deeds, definitely not innocent. She flicked her duster across one person’s cheek, and the snoring ceased, seemingly sleeping more soundly, but in fact already dead. She acted swiftly, flicking three times in succession, and collected the lives of the three people.

Ji Hui and Wang Long had never seen their master kill so decisively and both felt they were seeing her for the first time. The trio quietly slipped out of the bedroom and proceeded to the next room. Jing Chun Daoist, in acting with her duster, claimed lives. Wang Long implemented the ’Iron Ring Claw’, shattering a person’s heart channels.

Ji Hui employed the ’Linglong Finger’, targeting fatal pressure points. The three masters and students killed without any sound, taking over twenty lives in an instant. At this point, even if the Flower Cage Sect was aware, the flaw in the array made it difficult to resist.

Jing Chun Daoist remained cautious, taking lives with each step, killing all along the way. Having killed nearly thirty people, although Tang Feng the elder felt no immediate danger, he was naturally prudent and felt uneasy. He then rose to blow cold air.

Jing Chun Daoist signaled with her eyes, instructing Wang Long and Ji Hui to assassinate the remaining people. She touched her toes lightly, leaped gracefully, her silhouette seemed to float in the air like a fairy leaping out of a window, then slowly descended, her toes gently landing on Tang Feng’s head.

Her lightweight skill had reached an extremely high mastery. Though Tang Feng was also a Third Realm Martial Artist, their capabilities were vastly different, like ordinary clay between a three-year-old child and one with Qi Circulation. Despite having the same Martial Arts Realm, their capabilities may not necessarily be equal.

Even in ordinary clay, there are distinctions between old, weak, sick, and frail, vigorous, and strong. Second Realm, Third Realm... all are similar. Ultimately, it depends on martial arts mastery and individual prowess.

Tang Feng felt a slight itch on his head, like snowflakes falling on his head. He raised his hand to scratch, only to touch a shoe. He froze, broke out in a cold sweat, knowing it wasn’t an illusion. Immediately, he moved Qi with both hands and grabbed at his head.

This move utilized the ’Dragon Seizing Claw’. The power was quite notable.

Jing Chun Daoist held Qi in her chest, touched her toes lightly. She avoided the Dragon Seizing Claw move and simultaneously had traction at her soles, lifting Tang Feng’s body into the air. This Dragon Seizing Claw move from Tang Feng, unexpectedly hit his own face.
