Chapter 564: Jiao Shi
Meow.
A stray cat jumped out from across the street, arched its back and continued on its way.
"Scram!" The Qing Feng Sect disciple cursed at it when he realized what it was.
"What are you doing?!" Another Qing Feng Sect disciple stopped him and said, "We are supposed to be on the lookout for the Sima Family.
"You would be scaring them away."
Lin Xuan Qi took the opportunity to quickly get through them and get to the house of the bandaged man.
He peeped through the cracks of the windows and saw that the bandaged man was sitting in the hall having some tea with the candlelight flickering beside him.
One cup after another, the bandaged man was drinking the tea like it was water.
It was the right moment for Lin Xuan Qi to strike.
He unleashed his Spiritual Attack at the bandaged man again.
The bandaged man jumped out from his seat when that familiar sense came into his mind.
"What is happening?" He mumbled while he glanced around.
Creak.
The doors of his house creaked open and when he saw that there wasn’t anyone outside, the bandaged man felt his heart at his throat.
"Who... who are you... Where are you..." He glanced around frantically.
Then, the candlelight went out and there was nothing but darkness.
The bandaged man wanted to run out of his house but he felt someone grabbing onto his ankle and he fell flat onto his face.
"Gh... Ghost?!"
His body trembled in fear and he started panting.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and his body turned stiff when he heard some footsteps circling him.
But with the faint moonlight shining through the entrance of his house, it was obvious that there was no one except for him inside the house.
He could only come up with one conclusion to what was happening to him.
The ghosts of those whom he had killed indirectly with the defective Artifact Armor he had equipped them with had come back seeking revenge for what he had done.
"I’m sorry... Please let me off..." The bandaged man kowtowed on the ground, making the wooden planks on the ground give out a muted thud every time his forehead hit onto them.
"It is not enough." Lin Xuan Qi used his Spiritual Attack to manifest himself as a bloodied soldier in the bandaged man’s mind.
"What do you want me to do then..." The bandaged man went limp and asked.
"Swear to your ancestors and with the honor of your family name, that you will go to the Sima Family, tell them the truth and give us real justice." Lin Xuan Qi said and the bandaged man gasped in a lungful of air.
The bandaged man hesitated, knowing what would happen to him if he did so.
He would be silenced by the Qing Feng Sect before he could do so.
Plop.
Out of nowhere, the candle holder dropped onto the ground and it made the bandaged man jump in fear.
The constant jump scare got to him and he relented.
"I, Jiao Shi, will let the Sima Family know what had transpired and I will let the truth come out and seek justice for all of you..."
Jiao Shi, the bandaged man, kowtowed at the heavens and said.
Lin Xuan Qi was satisfied with it but it was not over yet.
He had to get him safely to the Sima Family.
There were the Qing Feng Sect disciples who were at Qi Concentration Level in the surroundings but he figured that there must be someone else who was hiding in the background.
Ready to pounce on him if he tried to get Jiao Shi away.
Lin Xuan Qi was aware of the possibility, but he knew that it was a risk he had to take.
If it came down to it, there were a few franchise stores that were managed by some of the young masters and he could make use of if required.
And with that thought, he made his decision.
Lin Xuan Qi knocked out Jiao Shi cold with a hack onto Jiao Shi’s neck.
The impact from it caused Jiao Shi to drop onto the ground unconscious.
Lin Xuan Qi proceeded to give out a sigh and carried Jiao Shi onto his shoulder.
He grabbed a bunch of talismans with his hand and walked out of the house.
When he got to the street, the Qing Feng Sect disciples couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Jiao Shi floating in the air, moving along as if he was levitating.
"What the hell?"
"Are you seeing this?"
"I’m sure that I’m not the only one."
Some of the Qing Feng Sect disciples rubbed their eyes to confirm that they weren’t seeing things.
Smack.
One of them smacked them on their back and said, "Are you stupid! Someone is bringing him away."
Sing.
The smack brought them back to their senses and they drew out their swords.
They quickly got out from their cover and shouted in the direction of Jiao Shi.
"Stop! Whoever you are, we will make sure that you suffer a fate worse than death if you don’t stop."
But Jiao Shi continued to get further away from them.
Lin Xuan Qi ignored them and went on his way.
They tried to lunge at him but Lee He Song was waiting for this moment for a very long time.
Splatter.
One of them got stabbed by the tip of Lee He Song’s sword from the side.
The other disciples stopped in their tracks, turned around and tried to parry away Lee He Song’s sword.
But before they could do so, the chills from the blade of Lee He Song’s sword reached them first.
And before they could react, their shoulders and thighs would be stabbed by it.
The chills infused with the Five-Element Qi started to freeze their wounds and it immobilized them.
They could only limp on one of their feet.
Having accomplished his job, Lee He Song quickly got away and ran in the direction of where Lin Xuan Qi had gone.
Lin Xuan Qi was now a distance away.
"You think you could get away with those cheap tricks of yours?"
A voice sounded in the air and Lin Xuan Qi could feel a gust of wind coming at him.
