Chapter 304 – An Inside Job
”Big brother, don’t you trust me too?” This fifth sister said with a forced smile.
”It’s because everyone believes in you, fifth sister, that you are given a chance to defend yourself, as long as the box is not something unseemly inside, you can only release everyone from their troubles if you take the initiative to open it!” The old man said coldly.
Hearing the old man’s words, this fifth sister’s face was wonderfully very bright, a burst of red and a burst of white, alternating in turns.
When she looked towards a few other people again, the pained expressions of the tall and thin man and the others, even more so, made her heart go cold and she didn’t know what to say anymore.
So slightly pondered for a moment, she simply put her heart across, suddenly put the hands of the small box to the body, at the same time quickly pulled out a blue orb, high above the head of the stern voice: “You do not force me, this heavenly thunderbolt you all know, I only ask to leave here!”
This action of the woman made the other few people among the five friends of Mengshan’s face change drastically, especially the youth who had always been very kind to him, his face was even more miserable.
”It seems like there’s no need to look inside that box anymore! Fifth sister, you really are in cahoots with those people.” The old man revealed a furious color as he drank, and clenched his fists as he took a violent step forward.
”Don’t come over, big brother! Otherwise I’ll really have to sacrifice myself!” The fifth sister revealed a panicked look and held the blue orb in front of her, making a gesture to sacrifice it.
Seeing this scene, although the old man’s whiskers were all agape, he really didn’t dare to go forward, after all, he was well aware of the power of this Heavenly Thunderbolt.
”Fifth sister, do you really intend to use this Heavenly Thunderbolt against us? You have to know that this magic weapon, but a few of us saw your cultivation was too low back then, and specially put together the spirit stones to buy you a defense. Especially the fourth brother, almost all of his savings were taken out, now you even used it against us, isn’t it a bit too much?” The middle-aged woman said with great disappointment.
And when the youth on the side heard this, his lips moved a few times with mixed feelings, but he still didn’t utter any words.
After the fifth sister heard the middle-aged woman’s words, a few hints of shame appeared on her face. But it only flickered and faded away, and in her mouth, she still said forcefully: ”What’s the use of talking about this now? I’m different from you guys, I’m definitely going to succeed in building my foundation! The people of the Black Fiend Sect said that as long as one makes a big enough feat, the sect master can even make someone forcefully succeed in foundation building without using the Foundation Building Pill, and there is no risk whatsoever.”
The tall and thin man couldn’t help but open his mouth even as he listened to the incessant frowning.
”Fifth sister, it’s not too late to turn back now! The words that one can build a foundation without using the Foundation Establishment Pill. How can you also believe that? They must have bullied you into being young and deliberately fooled you!” This oldest two of the Five Friends of Mengshan spoke with true sincerity.
”Hmph, there’s no need for second brother to lecture me, I naturally know in my heart if it’s true or not. As things stand now, there is nothing to hide! In fact, as early as that outing two years ago, I joined the Black Fiend Sect. So. The magical powers of this sect’s master are so vast that you outsiders can’t even imagine it!”
The young woman snorted coldly afterward. She uttered a piece of news that greatly shocked the others.
”You joined the Black Fiend Sect two years ago, so the capture of several of them this time. It was also your doing, right?” Han Li, who was originally silent on the side, suddenly interjected with this sentence.
This sentence immediately caused the old man and the others’ hearts to ripple again, their complexions changing again as they stared at the young woman. None of them could believe that this Fifth Sister had really done this.
The fifth sister’s face clouded over, and after hesitating for a moment, she still slowly said, “It’s true, I did tell the Black Fiend Sect’s people about everyone’s whereabouts. But my original intention was also good. I just wanted everyone to be able to have the opportunity to build their foundations together. Otherwise, according to the Black Fiend Sect’s custom, nine out of ten people captured alive are blood sacrificed, so how could it be so easy to leave their lives behind.”
The young woman felt that at this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so she simply told the truth.
”Hehehe, according to this, our several elder brothers, should still be thankful to fifth sister!” The black-faced old man said with an angry smile.
”Regardless of what you guys think, I do have no ill intentions towards everyone anyway! It’s better for you guys not to force me.” The woman’s beautiful face, slightly distorted, said, then raised the Heavenly Thunderbolt in her hand again.
But right at this moment, Han Li suddenly smiled faintly at the woman and said, “The Heavenly Thunderbolt, it is indeed a good thing!” As soon as the words left his mouth, his figure disappeared from the spot with a blur.
”You?” The fifth sister was also very resourceful, and as soon as she saw this scene she immediately wanted to shake her wrist.
But a light wind blew past her face, and the wrist on which the fifth sister was holding up the Heavenly Thunderbolt suddenly tightened, and Han Li appeared behind her like a ghostly figure, and grabbed her jade wrist.
”This thing is too dangerous, it’s better for me to keep it!” Han Li nonchalantly forced the Heavenly Thunderbolt away from his opponent and casually threw it into his storage bag.
The fifth sister saw her biggest dependence, like a child’s play was cracked by Han Li, her face “swish” became iron blue, and even forgot to struggle for a moment, and for the first time, the color of fear appeared in her eyes.
”She is your righteous sister, the person will be handed over to you, as long as she tells what she knows about the Black Fiend Sect, how you want to deal with it is up to you. But I don’t think you guys would be stupid enough to let her go back to ventilate the situation!” Han Li looked at the remaining few of the Five Friends of Mengshan with great meaning and said with a self-conscious expression.
Subsequently, a flash of white light on his hand, as fast as lightning, pointed a few times on the woman’s delicate body, imprisoning her true essence and making it impossible for her to use her mana again.
Then, without a single scruple, Han Li touched the box from within the young woman’s arms, and with a gentle flick of the woman’s hand, threw it to the youth who was still in a bit of a trance.
”Many thanks, Senior Han!” The black-faced old man naturally knew that Han Li had sold a few of them a good-sized favor by doing so, so he gratefully said.
Han Li waved his hand without saying a word, released a few yellow spells out of thin air, casually put away the soundproof boundary that had been secretly laid nearby, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
”Big brother, what do we do?” The second oldest looked at Han Li’s figure with a complicated expression and quietly whispered to the black-faced old man.
”Let’s first bring the fifth sister back to the house and control her, and then we’ll dispose of her after our operation tonight is over.” The old man said after pondering for a while.
”This is good, at least there is time for everyone to calm down for a while.” The oldest two nodded his head in agreement. Then, he turned back to the youth who was still holding the young woman and said, “Fourth brother, take fifth sister back to the house first!” The youth nodded blankly, turned around woodenly with the woman in his arms, and walked towards the Qing Yin Courtyard.
Seeing the youth’s desolate back, the oldest two sighed and a look of pity surfaced on his face.
At this time, the middle-aged woman also came over and said, “Is the fourth brother okay, he can always be infatuated with the fifth girl, but now ……” The middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly, revealing a color of intolerance.
”Cough, I originally also favored the two of them, but now it’s impossible.” The old man suddenly revealed an exhausted expression.
The recent series of shocking changes had caused this old man, who had always been decisive and rigid, to feel greatly emaciated as well. Then this oldest of the five friends of Mengshan Mountain lamented greatly for quite a while.
”Huh! Just the fourth brother alone brought the fifth sister back?” The old man suddenly remembered something as if his face changed and said.
”Yes, big brother! What’s wrong with that? Rarely do you think that the fourth brother he ……” The oldest two were first stunned by the question, and then his face changed in the same way to reveal a worried look of dawning realization.
Then the two men did not say a word of nonsense, the wind and fire to the Qingyin courtyard rushed away, leaving only the middle-aged woman who was still a little puzzled, revealing a puzzled look.
……
Inside the Qingyin Courtyard, the youth was sitting alone on a chair in the living room, fuming woodenly! In front of him, there stood the black-faced old man and the tall and thin man who were looking at each other in dismay, and the young woman had long since disappeared.
”Elder two, the fifth sister still has a prohibition placed on her by senior, she can’t go far, you immediately go after her quickly! I’ll go and apologize to senior Han, and by the way, let senior also join in, we mustn’t let the fifth sister run back to ventilate with the Black Fiend Sect’s people. If, on the other hand, she really doesn’t comply or if there’s someone to receive her, just kill her!” The old man said with a grim expression.
”Got it, big brother!” The second oldest was first stunned, but immediately knew that this was not the moment to be merciful, so he solemnly nodded his head and replied, hurriedly walking out.
”Fourth brother, you …… cough!” The old man saw the tall and thin man go out before he glanced back at the youth.
However, seeing his godless appearance, he really couldn’t bear to say him again, so he sighed before going to find Han Li.
……
”It’s fine, just run away! If your second brother, didn’t catch up, there’s no need to chase after him.”
Something that greatly surprised the old man, Han Li didn’t reveal a look of panic when he heard that the young woman had escaped the Qin Residence, but only said gently.
