Chapter 551 - Seven-Night Queens (1/2)

“No, it’s just that the Lord asked me to ask for him.”

The voice still echoed in the cold and bloody hall. After keeping the Full Moon Blade, Chu Qi turned to walk to the stone door behind the hall. After she pressed the mechanism, a passage slowly opened on the floor, and a rotten smell immediately came to her nose.

Stone steps were leading down. The light was dim inside, and only a few flickering torches hung on the wall. Chu Qi stepped in and the clicking of shoes echoed slowly. The dungeon was very damp, with the sound of dripping water and the squeaking of mice.

The air was filled with a dark and moist rotting smell. There were about a dozen rooms in the dungeon on the first floor, each of which was filled with all sorts of torture tools. There was still half of an arm or a corpse hanging from these instruments. The corpses had long rotted, and the corners were filled with skeletons. The rotten flesh had long been gnawed clean by the rats.

“Tap… tap… tap…”

The sound of footsteps echoed out. Chu Qi found the passageway and headed directly toward the third floor. It was the darkest floor, and the sound of the wind could be heard. It was as if the ghosts who had died in this place were howling.

“Cough… Cough cough…”

Suddenly, a cough came from the innermost corner of the room. The sound was gloomy. If an ordinary person came to a place like this, he or she would be so scared that his or her legs would go weak. However, Chu Qi’s face was as calm as still water. She slowly walked into the room step by step.

“Cough… cough… cough…”

“Tap… tap… tap…”

The voices of the two were getting closer and closer. One of them was the weak cough, and the other was the clear and crisp sound of a woman’s heels. When Chu Qi came to the innermost corner, she saw a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face tied to the torture tools.

Two of the man’s fingers were cut off, one of his ears was cut off, and his scapulae were worn with iron hooks. Both his hands and feet were covered with scars, and his chest too. Obviously, he had been tortured. However, these scars seemed to have been added recently.

The man raised his head and looked at the fairy-looking woman in front of him. After suffering a terrible torment, he met such a woman. He swore that this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He said slowly in a weak voice, “Fairy…”

It was obvious that he had been so tortured that he was a little unconscious.

“Clang! Clang!” Two crisp clanging sounds resounded. With a flash of lightning, Chu Qi cut off the chain that bound him. The man fell to the ground. Chu Qi placed two fingers together and infused True Energy into the man’s body. She said placidly, “Follow me.” With that, she turned around and walked away.

“Fairy… Fairy, are you here to save me?” With the support of True Energy from Chu Qi, the man with the fluffy hair immediately got up from the ground and chased after her.

However, Chu Qi did not speak. When they returned to the hall, they saw the blood and broken corpses all over the place. The man with a fluffy head was so frightened that his eyes were wide open, his heart was jumping and his whole body was trembling. He tiptoed carefully and was scared out of his wits at once when he occasionally touched a rolling head.

“Fairy, they… Why are they all dead…”

Chu Qi was still silent. When they walked outside, the rain had stopped, but lightning flashed across the sky once in a while. The two walked forward for a while, and the unkempt man took a deep breath of the air outside as if he had returned from hell to the human world.

“Wait!” Chu Qi stretched out his hand and suddenly said.

“Fairy… what’s wrong?” The unkempt man immediately stopped. He turned his head and looked around, looking quite nervous.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed past, and seven figures stood on the roofs on both sides of the alley. There were three on the left and four on the right. Everyone stood in different ways. Judging from their postures, they should be women.

“Follow closely…” The eyes of Chu Qi were as sharp as blades. Swiftly, the Full Moon Blade was drawn out and slowly split into two.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” With a burst of wind, the seven shadows attacked at the same time like ghosts. “Clang! Clang! Clang!” Sparks flew in all directions, and the unkempt man could not see them clearly. He was so frightened that he shouted, “What… what the hell!”

“Clang!” A sharp sound rang out. Chu Qi was sent flying several feet away by the impact. She held the Full Moon Blade in her hand and stood in front of the unkempt man. Her gaze remained incomparably sharp.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Footsteps slowly sounded, and the seven women slowly walked to the front. Under the faint light, they could then see the appearance of the seven people. They were all extremely beautiful women, but there was a murderous aura hidden between their eyebrows. This hidden murderous aura was no less than that of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon.

Their code name was Seven-Night Queens.

“Leave him here, and you can take your life with you.” The leading woman slowly said. Her voice was extremely cold, especially on this cold night. It made people shudder.

As soon as the voice fell, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky. The unkempt finally had a clear look at the appearance of the seven people. They must have come to take him away. Although he did not know what these people were going to do, it was better to follow the person who had just saved him.
