Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 372 Finding the Jar

Pei Xia was stunned.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked around.

In almost every cubicle, there was a similar little boy kneeling and serving.

The male guest was the girl, and the female guest was the boy.

Some were being served food, while others were in a rather complicated situation, and some were even actually placed on the table.

That area was filled with severed limbs and mangled flesh...

Pei Xia watched, her vision blurring, and the sounds of drums and music fading into the distance.

In a daze, a sharp, piercing sound, like tinnitus, suddenly came to my mind, as if a sharp arrow had pierced my flesh, bringing a kind of intense, mental pain.

This stinging pain... seems somewhat familiar!
Meanwhile, far away in the ship's cabin, the old man Zhou Tian, ​​who was sitting on the windowsill, clearly felt his black-sheathed sword vibrate.

Unlike the subtle stirring I felt last time.

This was a genuine response!
His eyes, hidden beneath his bushy beard and hair, gazed into the distance at Jiangcheng Mountain: "Could it really be that the Dead Sea Abyss has returned?"

Fortunately, the stinging pain came suddenly and went quickly, not lasting long.

Pei Xia rubbed her temples, feeling a little dazed.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to sense something, but that brief image, along with the entire process that caused the stinging pain, seemed to have been cut off by something.

He could only shake his head to quickly regain his senses.

Feng Yao understood Pei Xia's meaning, and she quickly waved her hand, making an excuse to dismiss the boy.

I thought that after leaving Tianbao Mountain, I had already witnessed the hardships and misery of Qin Prefecture, and had become used to it.

Unexpectedly, the impact this moment had on Pei Xia was heavier than everything before combined.

When the hardships of living in a humble mountain hut become a kind of "enjoyment" in a magnificent setting.

That intense, hellish stench truly hit us then.

Feng Yao seemed to notice Pei Xia's unusual behavior. She turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled: "Master?"

Pei Xia remained silent for a long time, then let out a long breath: "Tell me, besides rescuing Jiang Shu, is there any other way we could... also wipe out Jiangcheng Mountain?"

With the Dragon Cauldron shattered and warlords vying for power, the old kingdom was in such a state of disarray that Pei Xia knew he couldn't save the state from collapse.

But Jiang Chengshan was the one right in front of him.

There is no hunger, no persecution, no helplessness here.

Pei Xia couldn't find a reason to convince herself to pretend to be blind.

Feng Yao was oblivious to human relationships; she could only calmly help Pei Xia think things through: "It's unrealistic."

Jiangcheng Mountain is the premier sect in Eastern Qin, managing the two rivers region and attracting many experts, including a considerable number of Iron Bone Realm cultivators. Therefore, there must be some true Vajra Realm cultivators among them, and definitely more than one.

Feng Yao fully activated his blood and bones, making him comparable to someone at the Vajra Realm.

But Pei Xia would have to take the pills. If he couldn't win in the rush, he would run out of pills and inevitably fall into danger.

What if Jiangcheng Mountain has more than two Vajra Realms?
Moreover, they don't only have Vajra Realm experts; they also have so many elders and disciples.

Moreover, you're not just trying to kill people, you're trying to wipe out an entire family. This place is dangerous, and the Eastern Marquis's army is stationed here. Those military strategists who can kill a thousand men are no joke to you.

Hate is hate.

But this world isn't a place where you can always succeed just because you hate. Even if Pei Xia hated Jiang Chengshan to the point of grinding his teeth, he couldn't destroy him with his hatred.

"Unless... I'm not alone."

The image of a long-haired man immediately appeared in Pei Xia's mind.

If I remember correctly, the man named Qu Ying said that he intended to overthrow Jiangcheng Mountain, and that he had an organization called the Broken Jade People behind him.

As for Li Xu, Pei Xia was indeed powerless to confront a powerful warlord who held sway over a region, but Qinzhou, this wretched place, was not lacking in warlords.

Weren't Jiang Shu and I just escaping from another warlord's territory?
The perilous terrain of the two rivers was certainly of interest to Tiger Marquis Li Qing. "Let's rescue Jiang Shu first, and then we can discuss this matter later," Pei Xia decided.

According to the original plan, to rescue Jiang Shu, the next step was to infiltrate the Three Platforms.

As a gift, "Feng Yao" is certainly qualified; the strength she previously displayed is among the top in Jiangcheng Mountain.

The delivery method is a detail that still needs improvement.

Those sitting in the three seats are probably among the most prominent figures in Eastern Qin, and many of them are quite shrewd. We must not let them see through our scheme.

As Pei Xia was pondering this, a middle-aged man with a small mustache suddenly raised his wine glass and walked towards Feng Yao with a smile in the distance.

"This person looks unfamiliar!"

The man, with a hoarse voice, adopted a refined tone: "I am Liu Xian of Plum Garden. May I ask your name, young lady?"

This behavior is so blatant, it's like he has the words "womanizer" written all over his face.

However, Pei Xia had a change of heart and did not send him away.

Feng Yao raised his wine cup and politely gestured towards him: "Feng Yao greets Brother Liu."

"Miss Feng!"

This man surnamed Liu was probably used to it; he picked up his wine cup and sat down next to Feng Yao without a second thought.

The cubicles are already small, and when people are close together, physical contact is inevitable.

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Feng Yao's ample chest and her jade-like legs beneath her long skirt.

Ha, necrophilia.

Ever since the Sea God gifted the Brain Worms to Pei Xia, he has been the master of these worms. Although they can't reach the point of telepathic communication, they have a tacit understanding. Often, just a glance is enough for Feng Yao to know Pei Xia's intentions.

Feng Yao deliberately stepped back, feigning composure, and then asked softly, "Brother Liu, you look like someone of extraordinary status, unlike me, who is new here and is afraid that others will laugh at me for being ignorant."

As Feng Yao retreated, Liu Xian followed suit, sidling up to him while grinning and saying, "Of course, my Liu family owns a plum garden, and we are one of the most prominent families in Dongqin. I just don't want to bother with those dignitaries, otherwise I could go to the three terraces in the building whenever I want."

Feng Yao retreated a little more.

You have to retreat. Only when you retreat will he want to advance. Only when he wants to get closer will he lower his guard.

Feng Yao then asked, "Brother Liu must know a lot about Lord Su's marriage?"

"Tsk, you're not wrong."

Mentioning this, Liu Xian's lecherous expression turned slightly annoyed: "Lord Su is of noble birth, beautiful and sexy, and must be a top-notch woman in bed. I don't know why, but she suddenly fell in love with a young man she captured from the shipyard. In the past, she was just playing around, but this time she acted decisively and went straight to arranging the marriage, as if she had fallen in love with him..."

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "...Back then, I couldn't even become a close confidant."

As soon as he said this, Feng Yao and Pei Xia exchanged a glance.

As expected, Ma Shilin's determination to capture Jiang Shu was not simply because he was a disciple of Jiang Shu.

That damn Su Yan, it turns out he's into a womanizer.

So if he hadn't come to rescue Jiang Shu, his new disciple would have become the "master's wife" of Jiangcheng Mountain.

Pei Xia gave Feng Yao another wink.

Feng Yao then asked, "So impressive! I'd like to see the groom, but unfortunately I can't enter the Three Platforms, so I don't know where I can see him."

When Liu Xian mentioned Jiang Shu, he was clearly displeased: "That kid is young and impetuous, and an outsider. He doesn't know the wonders of Master Su. I heard he's quite unwilling. I guess he's been put in some kind of jar. What's so interesting about him?"

A jar?

Pei Xia knew this; it wasn't just a trick used by human traffickers in Qinzhou, but a common one across various regions, to disguise people and facilitate their transport.

So, all we need to do is find the cans that were sent to those three buildings.

Does that mean we've found Jiang Shu?
