Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 489 Magical Powers

This feeling is very strange.

It's like having another pair of eyes, 'seeing' another world through smell.

Everyone has their own unique scent, and even things are different.

The various scents were mixed together, but the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Sky-Piercing Rat managed to sort them out one by one with its innate abilities.

With his supernatural powers activated, he could clearly smell even the faintest scents from days ago.

Zhang Huyuan, Qian Hu, Zhu Ying...

found it!
Zhu Ju's eyes lit up.

A faint, refreshing scent of mint appeared before his eyes, initially extending southwards before suddenly turning towards the eastern market.

Zhang Huyuan and his men were clearly unaware of this and continued heading south of the city, getting further and further away.

Another earthy smell accompanied Zhu Zhenzhen, which must have been from the unknown robber.

"How cunning!"

Zhu Ju murmured something, and with a slight sway, he disappeared from the spot.

…………

East of the city.

"Peng!"

Shen Youcai threw Zhu Zhenzhen, whose hands were tied behind her back and whose mouth was stuffed with a rag, onto the ground.

He flexed his wrists and laughed:
"A bunch of useless trash, you think you can catch my 'Earth Shadow'?"

"but……"

He knelt down, removed the gag from Zhu Zhenzhen's mouth, and pinched her mouth shut as he asked:

"I could have brought two people with me, but I only brought one. What's my kid's name?"

"Ugh..." Zhu Zhenzhen glared angrily and struggled desperately.
"My brother won't let you get away with this!"

"Your brother?" Shen Youcai sneered.

"Zhu Ju, right?"

"He has offended Young Master Yue and is in dire straits himself. Expecting him to save you is nothing short of a pipe dream."

"Say!"

His face darkened, and he said coldly:
"Who is that boy?"

"I can use the power of a ghost to conceal my form, making it difficult even for a seventh-rank expert to detect me. How did that kid find me?"

"Snapped!"

Seeing Zhu Zhenzhen's stubborn expression, Shen Youcai raised an eyebrow and slapped her across the face.

"You really think you're still a rich heiress?"

"If you dare not make a sound, I'll slash your face with a knife. No... slash your face and you'll be worthless. You're a girl who hasn't fully grown up yet, but you've got some beauty in the making. You should be able to sell for a lot of money."

"Ah!" Zhu Zhenzhen screamed in terror, her body trembling. Seeing the dagger slowly approaching, she cried out urgently:

"It's Qian Hu!"

"Qian Hu is very sensitive to ghosts, but I don't know about others."

"Qian Hu?" Shen Youcai squinted.

His most prized method has been exposed, which could affect whether he can make a living in the future.

"interesting."

He pursed his lips, stuffed the rag into Zhu Zhenzhen's mouth again, and pushed open the door to leave.

This is a courtyard.

There were many medicinal herbs piled up in the courtyard, and several men dressed as herbalists were busy with something.

Main hall location.

A man was smoking a pipe, his brow furrowed.

"Wu Tou".

Shen Youcai strode over and greeted them:
"Things didn't go very smoothly. I only brought a maid from the Zhu residence, but she should be able to get by."

"Use this girl to lure Zhu Ju out, then have someone kill him."

“Hmm…” Wu Tou put down his pipe and sighed:

"It seems you don't know what just happened."

"what's up?"

"The young master is dead."

"what!"

Shen Youcai was taken aback, then his face showed astonishment:

"Young Master Yue is dead? How is that possible? Who did it?"

"A woman passing through Taiyuan Prefecture could be at the peak of the sixth rank, or she could be at the fifth rank," Wu Tou sighed.
"They said the young master harassed her, but as a result, a group of more than a dozen people were all killed, leaving no one alive. That woman was simply a demon."

Shen Youcai's face turned pale.

In Taiyuan Prefecture, although the Sky Eagle Bandits were universally hated, they were always the ones bullying others.

When has it ever been our turn to be bullied?
However, upon hearing that he possessed a cultivation level at the peak of the sixth rank or even the fifth rank, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

This loss,
Skyhawk is determined to steal it!

"Then... what do we do now?"

Shen Youcai looked completely bewildered:
"Young Master wanted to deal with that Zhu guy, so I stole him from the Zhu residence. Now that Young Master is in trouble..."

"Exchange money." Wu Tou waved his hand.
"Send a message to the Zhu family, demanding ten thousand taels of silver for her ransom. Otherwise, kill her." "Cut off one of that girl's fingers and send it along. We can't just work for nothing, can we?"

"Yes." Shen Youcai nodded.

"I'll do it right now."

He found a water tank, took two sips of cool water to moisten his throat, rolled up his sleeves, and went back to his room.

at this time.

There was an extra person in the room.

Zhu Zhenzhen, who should have been bound hand and foot and unable to move, had already freed herself and was moving her wrists.

"who are you?"

Shen Youcai's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Somebody come!"

"An outsider has broken in!"

"Brother," Zhu Zhenzhen said in a clear voice.
"He wanted to kidnap me and my sister, but... he only kidnapped me."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju nodded and said slowly:
"Close your eyes."

"what!"

Zhu Zhenzhen was taken aback.

Before she could react, Zhu Ju suddenly threw a punch.

Zhu Ju's movements didn't seem fast, but they landed squarely on Shen Youcai's face.

"Peng!"

A tremendous force erupts.

Shen Youcai's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, with red and white pieces flying everywhere.

The headless corpse swayed for a moment before collapsing to the ground.

"Uh……"

"vomit!"

Zhu Zhenzhen was stunned at first, then the contents of her stomach churned wildly, and she bent over and kept dry heaving.

the other side.

Zhu Ju frowned slightly, seemingly disliking the sight of blood. He gently rolled his long sleeves towards the kitchen knife used for processing medicinal herbs, and the blade flashed in the air, sending spurts of blood flying.

The people who rushed in collapsed to the ground like harvested wheat.

"Zhu Ju!"

Wu Tou, who rushed out of the main hall, narrowed his eyes:
"Impressive skills and techniques!"

"I never imagined that you, a mere cloth merchant, would possess such superb martial arts skills."

"You are..." Zhu Ju tilted his head, then chuckled lightly:

"never mind."

"Shh!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Tou's pipe suddenly trembled, and countless sparks flew out.

The sparks were faint, but when propelled by the energy, they instantly ignited into a raging inferno.

Instead of taking advantage of the situation, Wu Tou did a somersault and leaped towards the courtyard wall.

If he were ten or twenty years younger, he wouldn't be afraid to fight others, but the older he gets, the less daring he becomes.

just now.

He just wanted to live.

"call……"

A sound of breaking air came.

Wu Tou suddenly turned around and saw a kitchen knife pierce through the raging flames and plunge into his heart with unstoppable force.

"puff!"

The cleaver, dripping with blood, flew through the body and embedded itself in the wall not far away.

"vomit!"

Zhu Zhenzhen, who had just recovered, stepped out of the courtyard and was shocked to see a series of corpses.

He immediately vomited violently again.

*
Zhu Mansion.

"Master."

Zhang, the head nurse, looked ashamed.
“I am incompetent, and I have allowed villains to break into my mansion and almost harmed Miss Zhenzhen.”

"Your opponent's methods are unpredictable; it's normal that you didn't notice them," Zhu Ju sighed.
"In the end, there are just too few true masters."

What happened to Yang Yi?

In the center of the courtyard, Yang Yi was stripped of his shirt and forced to kneel on the ground, bare-shouldered, as punishment.

"As I recall, it was he who stopped Shen Youcai from taking Zhu Ying away; he deserves the reward."

"Master."

Zhang Huyuan spoke:
"He stole the Primordial Yang Qi Technique!"

"When the thief attacked Miss Zhu Ying, Yang Yi's palm was burning hot, which was seen by the other guards. According to them, he had secretly learned the Yuan Yang Yi Qi Jue, which was supposed to be practiced only by young ladies and young masters."

"Master."

"Please handle this matter."
