Chapter 416 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (26) (2/2)

Shi Sheng looked at Bai Luo, causing the latter to feel a bit uncomfortable and lower her head to avoid the former’s gaze.

“It’s your choice to leave, but I won’t give Shen Xinghai any discounts for it.” Shi Sheng got up and left after leaving behind these words.

She’d only promised to bring them back to the Demon Sect, not to keep an eye on them.

Zhong Weiwei didn’t leave in the end—because she fainted before she even got out the door.

More and more came to the Demon Sect to look for people. It wasn’t limited to people from the pugilistic world; there were also people from the court, and even just regular citizens.

“Since when did our Demon Sect have all those people?” After shooing off the third batch of people, Shi Sheng finally couldn’t help but ask the people beside her.

Other than the two FLs, the Demon Sect hadn’t had any new additions to their ranks. All the names that had been shouted were completely foreign to them.

“Sect Master, I know! I know!” A sect member raised his hand.

“Speak.”

The sect member immediately told her everything he’d learned.

There had been many missing-person cases in jianghu as of late. All of them were young and beautiful women of varying backgrounds—whether it be the daughters of high-ranking officials, the young misses of pugilistic clans, and even young ladies of common birth.

“Those people think we’re the ones who kidnapped all those women.” The Demon Sect member concluded.

Shi Sheng suddenly pointed her sword at them and asked with a stern expression, “Have you guys been sneaking out to steal wives without my knowledge?!”

The Demon Sect members, “…” ‘Sect Master, please. Do we look that desperate?’

“Sect Master, more people have turned up!” The person who’d been sent to keep an eye out shouted as he came running back, followed by a large procession of people.

“It’s Fu Yiyun…”

Ting Feng appeared from somewhere and, before the speaker finished their sentence, Jiang Zhan pushed him aside to stand beside Shi Sheng.

Jiang Zhan stood with arms akimbo, and in a very shrew-like manner, shouted, “Fu Yiyun! Why have you come here?!”

Shi Sheng gave Ting Feng a look. ‘Didn’t I tell you to lock this idiot up?’

Ting Feng felt innocent. ‘I couldn’t ah!’

Fu Yiyun and the rest stopped roughly ten meters away. “Jiang Zhan, hand Bai Luo over.”

“Who do you think you are? Why should I do that just because you said so?” Jiang Zhan harrumphed coldly.

“Jiang Zhan, where is my daughter?!” A man beside Fu Yiyun questioned harshly.

‘This guy should be Bai Luo’s dad…’

“Who’s your daughter? The hell did you come to the Demon Sect for when she went missing? Is there something wrong with your head?!”

Shi Sheng felt like this fellow was on equal terms with her when it came to offending people. The only thing was, he was terrible at fighting.

“Jiang Zhan!”

“What’re you calling your grandpa for?!”

The people below were so angered their faces turned green.

Bai-fu and Fu Yiyun discussed in low tones before Bai-fu raised his voice and spoke, “Sect Master Jiang, I just want to find my daughter. As long as you hand her over to me, I can forget about this matter.”

Jiang Zhan expressed surprise. “Then you’re not going to blame me if I broke her? It’s a real misfortune to be your daughter.”

Bai-fu, “…”

“Demon Chief Jiang, do you really think you can escape?! We have this place surrounded! Surrender without a fight and your grandpa can make your death a bit easier!”

“Hand them over! Hand them over!”

“Demon Chief Jiang, hand them over…”

[1] I believe I’ve used this idiom before, but here’s a refresher for those who didn’t catch it the first time (or forgot): it means it’s hard to beat someone with the numbers advantage. No matter how skilled you are, as long as there are enough people, they can just zerg-tactic you to the ground.
