Chapter 16 Kill, Leave No One Behind

  After Bai Ziyue and the others left, the squatting man took a few scurrying steps, flew from the street corner into the alleyway, jumped slightly, and directly leaped in place onto the roof of a three-meter-high house, lightly as if it were soundless, showing excellent lightweight kung fu.   The man on the roof was startled, seeing the visitor only relaxed, whispered: "What's going on?"   "Two people passed by just now."   "I noticed, it was the fellows from the Pearl Tavern, they shouldn't have seen me."   Bai Ziyue and the others were wearing the uniform clothes of the restaurant and were easily recognizable.   "That kid glanced in your direction, I'm not sure if he noticed you."   "There shouldn't be ...... any light soon, my side is almost done probing, notify Xiaoliu, let's withdraw."   "Good!"   The two nodded slightly, their figures flipped, directly leaping off the roof, quickly leaving.   ......   "Li's Pawnshop, I must have heard of this store name somewhere."   While working, Bai Ziyue began to recall the name of the sign he had seen earlier.   Even though he knew that the other party was targeting Li's Pawnshop, he didn't want to go over and mess with it, much less warn it.   Because one bad move and he was in danger of being pulverized.   At this moment, he just subconsciously remembered the name, and then couldn't help but delve into his memories.   "Right, it was on the first day I came to Qinghe Town - under the Beheading Stage."   In itself, Bai Ziyue hadn't been in Qinghe Town for very long, and after combing his memories through, he quickly remembered where he had heard this store name.   "Li's Pawnshop, Li's Family, Li's One Family, Three Masters, Ghost Head Walled City, Four Walled City Masters, Iron Arm Hand Wu Liang ......"   Bai Ziyue recalled the discussion he had heard back then and was violently stunned.   A possibility suddenly occurred to him.   The two people he had encountered early in the morning were most likely ...... Ghost Head Walled City bandits.   "Could it be that the Ghost Head Walled City wants to launch a retaliation against the Li Family?"   Bai Ziyue's face turned slightly white.   He had long heard that the Ghost Head Walled City was vicious and vengeful.   It was just that he hadn't expected that the other party would be so crazy as to plan to make a move against the Li Family in a town in a busy district.   Of course, all of this was just his guess, whether those two people were Ghost Head Walled City's people or not, and whether they were really avenging their Fourth Walled City's master, Wu Liang, he didn't have full confidence.   But on the surface of all the signs, his guess was most likely true.   Tightening his mind, Bai Ziyue still decided to rot this guess in his stomach.   ......   The day passed quickly, and as night fell, it was the time when the Pearl Restaurant's business was at its most red-hot.   Not only was the kitchen in full swing, Bai Ziyue and a few other tavern boys, were also too busy to touch the ground, until nearly eight o'clock in the evening, when they had the time, to take turns eating dinner.   Every day when the Pearl Restaurant was about to close for business, it would arrange for a boy to stand in the hall.   Although there were hardly any new guests arriving, there were still some people that drank and chatted until very late in the evening.   They needed to wait for others to greet them at any time, either to take the wine or to load up some more cold dishes.   Although they didn't need to be too busy, they still had to wait at the side.   Today, it happened to be Bai Ziyue's turn to stand in the hall.   At this time, he was standing in a corner of the restaurant, not far from him, there was a table of people drinking and chatting.   They were considered to be the last table of guests in the restaurant, and judging by the situation, they would not disperse until at least late at night.   The bored Bai Ziyue was about to take out his Small Explanation of Graphic Texts to recognize a few more words when he was suddenly caught up in their conversation.   "I heard that the Tang family's residence is haunted?"   "Which Tang family?"   "Which else could it be? The Tang family of Tang Lian San of the Iron Clothes Martial Arts School."   "It can't be, can it? Tang Lian San himself is a peak Outer Forging martial artist, his qi and blood are strong, what kind of ghost would dare to haunt his house?"   "Heh heh, an empty cave may not be without a cause.   Ordinary little ghosts may not dare to come near, but what about a stern ghost? If not for the fact that he can't even deal with them, how could there be any news coming out?   I've heard, ah, two maids in his family have already been sucked of their essence and died. Recently it seems to have sought out his daughter, that's why he's in a hurry, I heard that he's already sent someone to Wutong Mountain to ask the Five Channel Elder."   "The five channel elders are people who are proficient in immortal law, and they are the best at dealing with ghosts and monsters and other things, and with him, it seems that the Tang family's calamity can be solved right away."   "That's not true. ...... Come on, keep drinking."   ......   Bai Ziyue frowned, this was still the first column of evil events about ghosts that he had heard since he had personally experienced the little ghosts.   He had thought that Qinghe Town was prosperous and had a lot of people, so there should be no room for ghosts to survive, but it seemed that this was just him being uninformed.   A lot of things, in fact, were hidden in the dark, originally encountering ghosts was not an auspicious thing, and it was normal for fewer outbreaks to occur.   "However, that Five Channel Leader, what is the Immortal Technique again?"   Bai Ziyue suddenly had a strong interest in the Five Channel Leader, or more specifically, the Immortal Law.   "Between martial arts and Immortal Techniques, what exactly is the difference again?"   Bai Ziyue frowned, this world was indeed more exciting and mysterious than he had imagined.   ......   Even though he had been busy until twelve o'clock in the night the previous day before he was able to sleep, the next day he was automatically awake before cinnabar time to meet up with Uncle Sun.   The third day, the fourth day ......   Bai Ziyue thought that the Ghost Head Walled City's retaliation was coming soon, and that something was bound to happen to Li's Pawnshop, but he didn't realize that the past few days had been calm and quiet, and nothing had happened.   For this reason, he even deliberately passed by the Li's Pawnshop's gate during the daytime, and found that people opened their doors normally, with no sign of anything happening at all.   "It seems like I was overthinking it."   Bai Ziyue frowned, but there was always a doubt in his heart.   On the fifth day, Bai Ziyue naturally got up, lightly pulling the crate from the kitchen and putting down two baskets.   Uncle Sun had just gotten up at this time, and after praising him, the two of them went out once more.   In the silence of the night, only the sound of the cart's wheels turning came out.   Perhaps it was the change in weather, dark clouds spread across the sky, blocking out the moon, and as far as the eye could see, it looked exceptionally dark.   Bai Ziyue and Sun Neng took advantage of their familiarity with the road, coupled with the fact that even though the sky was dark, they were still able to see clearly within three to five meters without affecting their travels, and took one deep step and one shallow step forward.   "Those two?"   Just as Bai Ziyue and the two of them walked into a neighborhood, two figures slowly emerged from the corner of the neighborhood.   "The Second Walled City Lord's side hasn't moved yet, let them pass first."   One said softly.   The other nodded his head, if by the time the two passed through, the Second Walled City Lord hadn't started to act yet, then naturally count the two as lucky and dodged a bullet.   If the Second Walled City Lord started to act in the meantime, then it would only be counted as their bad luck.   They had killed the wrong person, but they would not be spared.   Then the two of them hid into the darkness once again.   "Ah ......"   Suddenly, a miserable scream violently came out from a mansion not far away.   And that mansion was none other than the backyard of Li's Pawnshop.   Immediately afterward, a cold and murderous voice filled with killing intent rang out, "Kill, leave no one behind."
