Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Chapter 86 Wubagang

"Lu Xiaoji? What are you doing here?"

Bai Li was surprised. Ye Gucheng challenged Ximen Chuixue to a duel, but instead of going to find his good buddy, he had time to come to Wild Chicken Town to eat chicken.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "I took on a troublesome task and have to go to Jiangnan. I was passing through this place and thought I'd buy a few lotus leaf chickens as souvenirs."

"But you, I saw you going on a killing spree as soon as I arrived. What, did these people offend you?"

"I didn't offend you."

"Then why..."

"I cannot find peace of mind if I do not kill them."

Lu Xiaofeng remained silent, turning his head away with an expression that said, "You really know how to talk."

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Li was not the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocent people, anyone else would have definitely mistaken him for a demonic killer.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I have to get going." Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand and turned to step out the door.

Bai Li, however, became interested and stepped forward to stop him, asking, "What matter requires you to travel all the way to Jiangnan, even neglecting the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue?"

"The duel hasn't been scheduled yet, no rush."

Lu Xiaofeng pulled a piece of red cloth from his pocket and said, "Recently, the treasuries of various families in the capital have been frequently robbed: the eighteen bushels of pearls from the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, the priceless jade unicorn, the eight hundred thousand taels of gold from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, the ninety thousand taels of gold leaves from the Jinsha River..."

'

"In addition, the murderer would blind the guards with embroidery needles every time he committed a crime. Jiang Chongwei, the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion, and 36 bodyguards and porters from Zhenyuan Escort Agency... all became blind."

"I had a brief encounter with the murderer a few days ago, and this piece of fabric was torn from the murderer's clothes."

Bai Li unceremoniously stretched out his hand: "Let me see."

Lu Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, but still handed over the fabric.

Bai Li took the fabric, rubbed it in his hands a couple of times, and teased, "You're planning to go to the Divine Needle Manor in Jiangnan to find Madam Xue, aren't you?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "Really, nothing can be hidden from you!"

Bai Li raised his eyes: "Madam Xue might not tell you."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned: "Why? How did you know?"

Bai Li shook the fabric: "Because this fabric isn't ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and immediately understood. The Divine Needle Manor had close ties with the imperial court. If Madam Xue knew the origin of the fabric, she would definitely refuse to see her to avoid getting into trouble.

"You know where this fabric comes from, are you deliberately keeping me in suspense?"

Bai Li nodded: "I know."

and then?

Lu Xiaofeng stared straight at him: "You're not going to tell me?"

"I can tell you if you want me to." Bai Li casually tucked the fabric into his pocket and said, "Do me a favor first."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, but just looked at him with resentment.

You've already taken all the clues, how can I refuse?

Fine, fine, I accept my fate!

Seeing that he acquiesced, Bai Li walked out of the hall with her head held high.

Lu Xiaofeng reluctantly followed, lamenting his poor choice of friends. "Wait, are we friends?"

On Wubagang Hill, a group of evil spirits gathered.

The Heavenly King Xiang Wentian, Huang Bolu, the leader of the Yellow River Gang, Sima Da, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and various underworld figures and wandering martial arts masters gathered in the wooden house on the hill.

Sima Da raised his wine bowl and laughed heartily, "This time, we are all thanks to the Holy Maiden's grace. Otherwise, how would we brothers have had the opportunity to gather together? I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

This sycophant is already blaring his boots before the Holy Maiden has even arrived.

Of course, given Xiang Wentian's presence, the evil spirits only dared to complain in their hearts. On the surface, they all appeared honored, raising their wine bowls and loudly echoing, "Honoring the Holy Maiden!"

After finishing his drink, Huang Boliu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Didn't the two heroes of the Northern Desert write that they were coming too? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Perhaps they were delayed on the way."

"Who knows, he's off somewhere having a treat again."

Zu Qianqiu snorted coldly. Although they were both in the underworld, he just couldn't stand those two cannibals who were utterly inhuman.

The old man patted his shoulder gently, telling him to calm down and not to ruin the Holy Maiden's important matter.

The evil spirits inside pretended not to notice, continuing to drink and boast, creating quite a lively atmosphere...

Outside the wooden fence, Bai Li and Lu Xiaofeng stood on tree branches, looking down at the camp below.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and he grabbed Bai Li's clothes, saying, "You're not going to force your way in, are you? There are nearly a thousand people here..."

"I'm not stupid."

Bai Li pointed to the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, who were playing and frolicking around the campfire in the camp, and said, "You just keep an eye on those six people for me. If you don't want to kill anyone, just subdue them. I'll take care of the rest."

Lu Xiaofeng was utterly perplexed: "Why are you so determined to eliminate these people? Even though they are all members of the underworld, some of them have their bottom lines. Is it really necessary to wipe them all out?"

Bai Li looked indifferently at the camp in front of him and said, "Didn't I say that I won't be at peace if I don't kill them?"

Linghu Chong still got involved with Ren Yingying; he was easily swayed and easily misled.

Unlike the original storyline, Ren Yingying has gathered a group of evil spirits this time in order to rescue Ren Woxing from West Lake.

Bai Li will be gone to the capital for two or three months. It's hard to guarantee that Linghu Chong won't be drawn into this conflict, which could implicate the entire Huashan Sect.

Rather than regretting it later, it's better to eliminate these destabilizing factors now to prevent future troubles.

Seeing his murderous intent, Lu Xiaofeng knew that it would be useless to persuade him any further.

Moreover, these gangsters all have the blood of innocent people on their hands. If you pull one out, they would all die without consequence. It doesn't count as indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

"Alright, consider it a debt I owe you. I'll keep an eye on those six lunatics for you, but don't let them get into trouble."

Bai Li nodded, and without any apparent effort, his figure suddenly transformed into a streak of green, twirling once in mid-air before leaping above the wooden house.

Inside the house, the evil spirits were still drinking, eating meat, playing drinking games, boasting, and making a lot of noise, unaware that death was about to fall from the sky.

Boom! A loud explosion.

"Watch out!" Xiang Wentian reacted the fastest, crushing the wine bowl in his hand and splashing it violently into the air. At the same time, he retreated quickly and hid in the corner of the wooden house.

Bai Li's body plummeted, slowly transforming into countless sword lights, like pear blossoms blooming on thousands of trees, and sword energy swirling across the starry sky.

As the sword energy swept across, the wooden table was cleaved in two, splinters flew everywhere, the wine jar shattered, and strong liquor spilled onto the ground, stained red by the splashing blood. The stench of blood mingled with the smell of alcohol, creating a pungent and unpleasant odor.

"ah..."

"Who is it...?"

"Who attacked us...?"

With a single sword strike, most of the evil spirits in the room were pierced through by the sword energy before they could react, their corpses falling one after another and crashing heavily to the ground.

Corpses lay strewn across the floor, and blood stained large sections of the wooden floor, dripping continuously from the gaps in the wood.

Only a handful of people remained, but they reacted quickly enough to avoid the sound of something cutting through the air.

Huang Bolu's right arm was severed by the sword energy, blood gushing out, and cold sweat streaming down his pale forehead: "Who are you? Why did you ambush us?"

Xiang Wentian, hiding in a corner, pushed aside the wooden plank in front of him, his expression grave: "So it's Young Master Bai, the Silver Swordsman. I wonder if we have offended Young Master Bai in any way that he would treat us so cruelly?"

As he spoke, he gestured to the Jade Spirit Taoist closest to the door, signaling him to go out and gather the evil spirits. He refused to believe that the more than a thousand people on Five Tyrants Ridge couldn't overwhelm a single Silver Light Swordsman.

Bai Li was incredibly perceptive; he saw through the man's subtle movements and knew that there was no time to lose. Without saying a word, he slowly unleashed another burst of dazzling sword light from his hand.

His figure multiplied into nine, simultaneously unleashing nine different sword techniques. This was the ultimate skill he had comprehended after integrating the Nine Swords of Dugu into himself—Instant Kill with One Sword, Part Three: Dugu Sword Stance.

Nine figures, nine sword stances, some fierce and domineering, some sharp and unpredictable, some graceful and agile, complementing each other to form an impenetrable sword net that instantly enveloped the people present, leaving them with no way to escape!

Xiang Wentian's expression changed drastically, and he was extremely shocked. He decisively abandoned his sword, gathered energy in his palms, and pushed them out with an extremely powerful and yang palm strike.

The sword strike aimed at him instantly transformed into a palm strike, shattering all laws under heaven with a single sword strike. Unsurprisingly, the longsword pierced through Wentian's throat.

Noisy!

Xiang Wentian, his face filled with resentment, fell straight down, crashing into a pool of blood, splattering blood everywhere, dying with his eyes wide open.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Without stopping, the sword's momentum unfolded, and just as Yu Ling Dao Ren's hand touched the door latch, it was pierced through the back of his head by Qie Man and emerged from his forehead.

Bai Li transformed into a wisp of blue cloud, drifting through the room. Wherever he passed, one could only hear the soft thuds of Qie Man piercing flesh and the thuds of corpses falling to the ground.

In just two breaths, only the Yellow River Ancestor and his companion remained in the room.
