Chapter 3: Chapter 2

Currently, no one knew Yun Wencheng's feelings better than Yun Wencheng himself. As soon as he met the culprit of all the frequent murders in Huayin, his hands started itching to pull his sword out of its sheathe. However, He knew very well that if He started a mess in this place and the killer was aware of his intentions, their plan would be over and innocent people might also be involved. Yun Wencheng didn't want that to happen therefore, he deliberately hid his killing intent and allowed the killer to touch him everywhere. 'It's a good thing he hasn't touched me at 'that' place yet, otherwise it might have been discovered that I was a man,' thought Yun Wencheng.

Their plan was to allow the killer to take Yun Wencheng home and only after they passed through the desolate place, only then did Yun Wencheng and the other Mount Hua disciples him from all directions and then capture him alive for trial in court. However, before all that, Yun Wencheng had to make this killer believe that he was just a weak girl whom he would easily deal with. Because of this, Yun Wencheng took a voice-changing pill whose effects could last for two hours after consumption.

“Zhu-er主儿, master or lord , let's have another drink…” Hearing his own voice, Yun Wencheng had goosebumps all over his body. He wasn't used to his new voice and his own voice disgusted him. In his mind, he repeatedly cursed his senior brother, the sect leader who had asked him to intervene to solve this problem.

The killer who was groping his thigh chuckled, “Ling-er–儿, is a term for someone who is familiar. This term is also often considered flirtatious., you drink it. You haven't had a single cup since." Hearing that, the corner of Yun Wencheng's mouth twitched. "Very well, Zhu-er," he replied. He almost said out loud what he was thinking. 'You told me to drink because you put some drug in it, didn't you? Shameless bastard.'

Yes, Yun Wencheng knew that his wine was drugged. If he had not learned the samadhi三摩提, the embodiment of the three natural elements of the inner energy and human consciousness, he might fall into the killer's trap. With the samadhi fire, he can burn all poisons including the deadly poison that enters his body. When compared to the poison of the Sichuan四川, a province in southwest China that has Chengdu [成都] as its capital. Tang Family, this drug was no match for Yun Wencheng.

However, before his lips touched the cup, a chopstick flew towards him and struck down the cup in his hand. The cup that fell to the floor, shattered with a 'Clank-!', making all of Hua Yuan's attention turn to him. Yun Wencheng's eyes widened and looked in the direction the chopsticks came from.

Then, someone's voice echoed around the edge of the brothel which suddenly became quiet, "Young miss over there, your drink has been drugged, you know." Hearing the word 'miss', Yun Wencheng gasped.

Without realizing it, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword and was ready to attack at any time. He almost made a big mistake by revealing his true identity. Yun Wencheng slowly calmed himself and returned his focus to the man. To throw chopsticks at an invisible speed, only a martial artist who is equally strong if not, stronger than Yun Wencheng can do it. At a glance, Yun Wencheng was unable to gauge the depth of the man's strength and Yun Wencheng feared that this man was someone stronger than himself, the most powerful swordsman in all of Mount Hua. His heart told him that this man would be a very dangerous person if he was on this man's bad side.

With a straw hat, a sword at the side of his hip and dark clothes, the man could be said to look like a wandering warrior and it was normal for such people to go to brothel. It was because of this inconspicuous appearance that Yun Wencheng did not pay close attention to him when he entered the brothel.

The man calmly finished the bottle of wine in his hand and stood up. He then approached Yun Wencheng's table. Then Yun Wencheng realized that the person by his side was silent and frozen in place. He also noticed that the closer the dark-clothed man walked towards Yun Wencheng's table, the more frantic the killer's breath became.

After the man arrived at Yun Wencheng's table, the person by his side quickly fell to his knees and banged his head on the floor. All the customers, including Yun Wencheng were shocked when they saw it. The dark clothed man only glanced at the kneeling person before him with an indifferent look and then smiled at Yun Wencheng.

"Is the young lady all right?" he said. Yun Wencheng nodded his head slowly. For now, it would be no good if Yun Wencheng made him an enemy.

The man touched his chin and finally saw the pitiful person kneeling in front of him.

"Where did you hide the pill?"

The moment that person raised his head, the dark-clothed man immediately stomped his foot on the killer's head and kept him down. "Just so you know. I don't like repeating my words a second time. So," he said, pressing his foot so that the murderer's forehead bled which then flowed over the wooden floor of the brothel. The killer groaned in pain and felt that his head would explode.

“As long as you answer my questions honestly, I will let you die painlessly,” he continued viciously. Hearing his words, many of the customers and workers in the brothel gasped in fear, "Your choice?"

“Y-Your Majesty! Forgive this lowly one!" he exclaimed.

Yun Wencheng who saw this happening before his eyes, frowned. 'No, that's not what he wanted to hear,' he thought quietly. In his mind, the man was someone who knew no compassion and would only do what he wanted. And just as he thought, the dark clothed man then gave the killer a sinister smile, “Tsk, tsk– Wrong answer.”

Without waiting for the killer's reply, the dark clothed man instantly crushed the head that was under his feet with ease. The head that was once a whole became an unrecognizable thing beneath his feet. The body that had lost its head then convulsed before finally becoming deathly still. Even though Yun Wencheng had seen many deaths out there, this incident would be one that would stick in his memory for a long period of time.

As Yun Wencheng was near them, blood and some kinds of bodily fluids which he did not know where it came from, flew towards him. The dress, which had been made of pure white cloth, turned red instantly. Yun Wencheng immediately wiped the blood that had hit his face with his hand.

In the distance, Yun Wencheng could also hear several people vomiting their bowels out and fainting one by one. Yun Wencheng felt sorry for the people who had seen this incident. If something could bother a martial artist like Yun Wencheng, how could an ordinary person like them endure it? 'I'm afraid they won't be able to stand the mere sight of meat for a while,' thought Yun Wencheng as he shook his head. And not only that, Hua Yuan's economic value would later pummel because of this. 'I think, I have to apologize to Madam Hua for this.'

But for now, Yun Wencheng had to settle the matter this man had created. Just as Yun Wencheng was about to say something, the man beat him to it, “Miss, if you don't mind, may I take this young lady out for a drink?”

Although the tone of his voice was gentle, there was something telling in his mind that Yun Wencheng was being threatened. How outrageous… “If lord don't mind, This one will accept.”

Yun Wencheng was forced to do as this man wished. Otherwise, the people around him can get involved in the problem. Yun Wencheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Without warning, the man's arm circled Yun Wencheng's waist securely and dragged him out of the brothel quickly. The people in the brothel did not dare to stop the man who was kidnapping a 'beautiful woman' for fear of the man's wrath. The owner of the brothel couldn't even do anything but watch him being carried away by this unknown man. 

In the end, Yun Wencheng was only able to send a sound transmission to the brothel's mistress with his qi气,  internal energy that said, 'Madam Hua, please tell my juniors that they can go back to Mount Hua first and don't have to wait for me. Sorry for the mess.' Seeing the nod of her head, Yun Wencheng heaved a sigh of relief. Now, where will this man take Him to?
