Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 11: As long as no one finds out, it's a successful infiltration
After Qi Ji locked onto the target, he used his hearing to listen carefully and soon heard the conversation in the box clearly.
"Fifth brother, I heard that a large batch of goods arrived in the evening, and there are many tempting top-quality goods. Do you want to go over and broaden your horizons later?"
"Keep your voice down. What's the harm in going to see them? They're all going to be sent for 'renovation'. You can't play with the best ones even if you see them."
"Fifth brother, you don't understand. The success rate of transformation is so low. At least 90% of those top-quality ones will be disabled and abandoned. At that time, we can negotiate with the brothers in charge of handling them. We can spend a few gold coins to buy a dying piece of trash and play with it for several days..."
"You kid... this is a good idea, do you have a solution?"
"Hehe, of course, those are all top-notch girls from famous sects, hehehe..."
What followed was just a greasy and obscene conversation between two middle-aged men. There wasn't much value to be gained, but Qi Ji was afraid of missing any clues, so he still listened carefully.
He is now 60% sure that the two middle-aged men in conversation are from the Xuan family, and the "large batch of goods" they are referring to are the disciples of a powerful force who were captured by the Xuan family.
Although it is not necessarily Jiange, for the convenience of detention and management, the prisoners must be detained together.
Then go and solve it!
Soon, the two old perverts in the restaurant box became more and more excited as they talked, and simply stopped eating. They walked downstairs drunkenly, arm in arm.
Qi Ji had already calmly paid the bill and arrived at the alley near the restaurant door earlier than the two of them, standing there with his eyes silently watching the restaurant door.
A minute later, two middle-aged men in rich clothes came out, called their carriage over, got in and drove towards their destination.
Qi Ji's figure had disappeared from the spot without anyone noticing.
…
Outside Xuancheng, in the night, a gorgeously decorated carriage was moving quickly.
The driver was tall and strong, with a restrained light in his eyes. He was actually a third-level transcendent with superb cultivation.
Inside the carriage, two middle-aged men were chatting and laughing loudly because they had already left the city and were not worried about being watched.
With the moonlight obscured by clouds, in the pitch-black sky a thousand meters high, Qi Ji was floating slowly in the air, gently swiping the Immortal Slash in his hand. Every time he swiped it, a breeze would blow out of thin air, allowing him to float under the support of the wings of wind, as if he was walking in the air.
After traveling thousands of kilometers relying on the nameless divine wind flow to control the strong wind, he is now more and more adept at controlling the airflow . He even feels that even without the Wings of Wind, he can still fly in the air as long as he adds some extraordinary effort.
Now, he can fly in the air and walk on the void. He is even more like the legendary "immortal" than some top fourth-level or even fifth-level transcendents.
After all, being able to fly is really cool.
However, what he did not expect, but felt was reasonable, was that the place where Xuancheng held these special prisoners was actually outside the city, not inside the city.
Soon, the carriage below stopped at the gate of a giant manor more than ten kilometers outside Xuancheng.
Qi Ji watched the two middle-aged men chatting and laughing as they walked leisurely into the manor under the guidance of the gate guard, and he knew that they had arrived at their destination.
A thousand meters above, he used his amazing eyesight to observe the huge manor below. He could see that it was heavily guarded with no blind spots. It would be extremely difficult to sneak in.
However, most of the guards seen in public do not look like extraordinary people, but ordinary mortals, and they cannot even be said to be particularly powerful masters.
Qi Ji felt keenly that this manor was probably just a cover, and the actual location where the captives were held was definitely not here.
Or rather, not on the ground here.
His idea was soon verified - two middle-aged men, led by a man who looked like a butler, entered a side building in the manor and did not come out for a while.
Qi Ji estimated that this side hall was less than 300 square meters, and certainly could not hold many people. This meant that this building was probably just an entrance to another place.
Qi Ji knew it was time for him to take action.
He had not learned any professional knowledge of infiltration. Apart from some top-level ninjutsu and body skills, it was a fantasy .
So he didn't care about so many things and just floated in front of the two gatekeepers. In their horrified gazes, he gently swung the Undead Slash in the air. The sharp airflow suddenly cut the throats of the two men, and blood gushed out immediately.
The bodies of the two guards were held up by an invisible breeze and fell to the ground silently.
He calmly pushed the door open and walked into the room. He saw that the layout inside was just an ordinary hall. Not only were there the two middle-aged men who had entered not long ago, but the butler who was responsible for guiding them was also nowhere to be seen.
Apparently, several people went underground through a secret passage in the room.
The body of the guard outside the door would soon be discovered, and he didn't have time to wait here for them to come out.
So he turned the blade and tapped the ground lightly with the back of the blade. As the crisp sound spread, Qi Ji also keenly noticed that there was a cavity under the floor in a corner of the house.
So he came to the ground of the cavity and observed it.
Crack, crack, crack.
He slashed out three times in an instant, leaving three deep triangular marks on the floor beneath his feet with himself as the center.
The triangular area that lost its force connection with the floor next to it slowly sank, and then after completely breaking away from friction, it suddenly fell down with Qi Ji. Then, in a short time before landing, it was supported by the airflow controlled by Qi Ji's sword and landed gently.
In front of Qi Ji, two guards, who were dressed completely differently from the ones outside the manor and wearing pure white full-coverage masks on their faces, looked at him with surprise.
They reacted immediately and started shouting loudly.
Although Qi Ji couldn't see their expressions behind the masks, he obviously wouldn't give them the chance to shout.
Even though these two underground guards are powerful men who have reached the first level of extraordinary power, they are much stronger than the two ordinary human guards on the ground just now.
But under Qi Ji's sword, there is not much difference between ordinary people, first level and second level.
Just one knife.
Soon, Qi Ji changed into the clothes of one of the guards and put on a mask, passed through the passage guarded by the two guards, and entered the real underground space of the manor.
What came into his sight was a dark and narrow corridor, with prison cells on both sides of the corridor closed by metal doors.
At the corner at the end of the corridor, the butler came over with two middle-aged men who were "leading the way" for Qi Ji tonight, talking and laughing. Following the three of them were two tall guards with strong auras and pure white masks on their faces.
Qi Ji remained calm, pretending to be an ordinary guard on patrol as he walked calmly through the passage.
The two sides quickly passed each other.
And at the moment when they passed each other, the two tall guards with strong aura shouted at the same time, drew the single swords at their waist and slashed at Qi Ji!
In an instant, the blade reached Qi Ji's neck and side.
Then, it was firmly clamped by two fingers of Qi Ji's left and right hands, unable to move at all.
Telepathic communication!
The two third-level guards had expressions under their masks as if they had seen a ghost.
