Chapter 159: Passing Through Southern Cliffs City (2/2)

Clear moonlight shone down like rippling water.

Huang Xiaolong was meditating in his room when suddenly, a light footstep sounded from the rooftop.

Huang Xiaolong was alerted and stepped out of his room. Searching for the source of the disturbance, he detected two black-clothed men with masked faces jumping over rooftops. And with agile leaps over the walls, the two black shadows snuck into the Castellan’s Manor.

When Huang Xiaolong came out of his room, Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, and Fei Hou also came out from their rooms.

“Sovereign, do we…?” Zhao Shu took a step forward and asked.

Huang Xiaolong’s voice sounded solemn, “First wait and see what’s going on.”

At this point, the two black-clothed men that snuck into the Castellan Manor came to a stop at a certain courtyard building. Standing there, one of the men quickly removed something from the clothing overlapping his chest that looked like a tube. Positioning the tube, the man blew into it. After some time, the other man jumped into the room and exited while carrying a sack over his shoulder.

Cautiously giving the surrounding a glance, the two men bypassed the Castellan Manor’s patrolling guards and leaped over the walls, carrying the sack away from the manor.

Huang Xiaolong and the rest saw the two men’s actions clearly. Judging from their actions, these two men rendered the person in that room unconscious using some drug and abducted them.

“Zhao Shu, Yu Ming, the two of you wait here; Fei Hou and I are going to have a look.” Huang Xiaolong said.

“But!” Zhao Shu and Yu Ming were reluctant.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a few small shrimps, they won’t be any problem.” Huang Xiaolong reassured them.

“Yes, Sovereign!” Both of them relented.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou leaped out, following the two men quietly from behind.

Originally, Huang Xiaolong had no interest in meddling in these affairs.

However, since these people dared to trespass into the Castellan Manor to abduct a victim, Huang Xiaolong’s curiosity was piqued, wanting to see what these people were up to.

Huang Xiaolong vaguely guessed that this event wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou followed the two black-clothed men the entire time, and an hour later, the two men entered an abandoned, dilapidated courtyard on the northern side of Southern Cliffs City.

Inside the courtyard, six people stood waiting. Seeing these people, Huang Xiaolong immediately took notice of their sect uniform: it belonged to Big Sword Sect.

Big Sword Sect!

“Senior Brother Wei!” At this time, the two black-clothed men called out towards one of the young men, putting the sack down on the ground.

That young man asked, “Where is the person, did you bring them?” His eyes swept over the sack on the ground as he said this.

“Senior Brother Wei, don’t worry, Sun Qing’s daughter is right inside here.” One of the black-clothed men grinned and pointed at the sack, “She will probably wake up in an hour’s time.”

Hearing this, the young man laughed, “Not bad.” He walked towards the sack and untied the knot, revealing the pretty face of a seventeen to eighteen year old girl.

“After my father was killed, I didn’t expect they would give Sun Qing, that old fellow, the chance to seize the Castellan’s position. Since he doesn’t know what’s good for him, refusing to cooperate with our Big Sword Sect… Sun Qing, your youngest daughter is quite the beauty! Tonight, I will enjoy myself, and have a taste of your daughter.” That young man laughed wretchedly, “If you refuse again, then next will be your eldest daughter!”

The other disciples were looking enviously at that young man.

Huang Xiaolong was surprised as he observed this young man some distance away. He was the son of the previous Southern Cliffs City Castellan that he killed? The son that joined Big Sword Sect, Wei Xiaodong?

On the other side, Wei Xiaodong turned towards the several Big Sword Sect disciples with him saying, “All of you leave, keep an eye out.” Evidently, he was anxious to ‘deal’ with Sun Qing’s daughter in this dilapidated courtyard.

“Yes, Senior Brother Wei!” The disciples answered.

Just as their voices ended, another voice sounded suddenly. It came about too suddenly, and Wei Xiaodong’s body shuddered from being startled. Turning around, he saw a young man around seventeen to eighteen walking in their direction with a middle-aged man behind him.

Wei Xiaodong stood up quickly, and his eyes glared furiously at the two black-clothed men, “Can’t you do something right for once!” The two ‘guests’ surely tailed these two.

The two black-clothed men cast down their heads, not daring to utter any sounds.
