Chapter 686: Yangzhou, Yang Gong’s Treasure House

The red-haired woman stared fearlessly at Hou Xibai’s handsome face, a hint of mockery in her eyes:
“Hou Xibai, this is just a small warning—stay away from the people of Cihang Jingzhai. You should know that since Uncle Bian and a group of Saint Gate masters were killed, our rules have changed. Now that the Evil King is unstable, it’s the Queen of Darkness who controls everything behind the scenes. All of us Saint Gate disciples must obey her orders. As a disciple of the Flower Sect, being so close to the heir of Cihang Jingzhai, the leader of the righteous sect… isn’t very good!!”
“A mere disciple of the Yin Gui Sect dares to come here and lecture me? How presumptuous!”
With Hou Xibai’s cold snort, the red-haired woman quickly realized something was wrong, but it was already too late. The figure before her blurred, and Hou Xibai disappeared from sight.
Behind!
Turning around, he delivered a palm strike, sending a tremendous force that hurled the red-haired woman out of the restaurant…
Crash!!
Outside on the street, the wooden walls of the restaurant suddenly shattered, and a bright red figure, along with countless pieces of wood, plummeted from above.
Such scenes were no longer unusual in the city these days, but few could afford to provoke or deal with experts at the peak of the Wuwei Realm.
“A male and a female demon!”
When the people on the street recognized the red-haired woman’s identity, most of them quickly stepped aside.
This woman wasn’t only skilled in the Heavenly Demon Art but also possessed terrifyingly advanced hidden weapons. Every part of her body could fire deadly, poisonous projectiles—she was extremely dangerous.
Upon recognizing her, the players present couldn’t help but assess their own strength.
Especially when Hou Xibai rushed down from the second floor of the restaurant and engaged her in battle, the street was filled with swirling shadows. Both of them used the “True Illusion Demon Body Technique.” Those with slightly weaker cultivation couldn’t clearly see what was happening—only red and white shadows moving back and forth in the street.
However, it was still clear who had the upper hand. The red-haired woman was clearly not strong enough to match Hou Xibai for long. She quickly fell behind, taking several blows before rushing ten meters away like lightning.
As the red-haired woman fell into disadvantage, a series of enchanting silver bell-like laughter suddenly echoed through the street:
“Hou Xibai, aren’t you the one who claims to love flowers the most in the world? How dare you hurt such a beautiful and lovely junior sister? Wanwan won’t dare be with you anymore.”

A delicate and sweet voice reached the ears of the players present, yet it hardly caused disgust among the martial artists; instead, it brought them a sense of comfort and delight.
What an amazing Dark Demon Art!
Some of the more experienced martial artists present paled, exchanged glances, and quickly moved away from this troubled place—few among the demons were kind-hearted.
With a look of wariness in their eyes, Hou Xibai resolutely stopped pursuing her and turned to look at the rooftop of a restaurant nearby. There, he saw an exceptionally beautiful woman, playfully swaying her bare feet as she sat there like a fairy, her exposed shoulders exuding an indescribably charming allure.
“Senior Sister Wanwan, if you don’t come out now, I’ll have to collect your lovely junior sister’s body.”
It was the same delicate voice, but the red-haired woman clearly wasn’t yet skilled enough. Many people couldn’t help but feel distracted upon seeing her appearance and tone.
……
“So Wanwan has also come.”
“The master is worried that these two newly recruited disciples might upset Senior Brother Hou, so he sent Wanwan to handle things…”
Wanwan and Hou Xibai both chose to ignore the uniquely dressed red-haired woman, meeting on the rooftop and in the middle of the street respectively.
“The Dark Queen sent Wanwan to punish Xibai?”
“Of course not.”
A sly glint flashed in Wanwan’s eyes as she faced Hou Xibai, who wore a wary expression. “I heard you have an appointment with Shi Feixuan today. Let’s capture her together later—this way, we can make amends, and the master won’t blame you!”
“Hahaha…”
With a laugh, Hou Xibai snapped open his fan and stared at Wanwan indifferently before answering loudly, “Although Xibai’s cultivation is low, he despises doing such despicable things. Moreover, asking Xibai to do such things to a beauty goes against his reputation as a romantic young man.”
“Can Xibai truly stay at ease by refusing Wanwan’s request?” Wanwan blinked her long, sexy eyelashes, her voice sounding like that of a melancholic lady from a secluded chamber, enchanting and alluring.
“Or is it because Wanwan isn’t beautiful?”
“…” Hou Xibai smiled bitterly in surprise and instinctively retracted his fan…
In that instant, Wanwan moved.
Perfect!
She stepped onto the eaves of the restaurant with her bare feet! Her body flew down like a fairy, and two silk ribbons shot toward Hou Xibai just as his fan was fully closed—her timing was impeccable.
Hou Xibai’s expression changed…

When he tried to resist, the red-haired woman behind him launched an attack at the same time. The Heavenly Demon Art was activated, instantly dimming the light around them. A powerful vortex-like force continuously pulled at Hou Xibai’s body, reducing his reaction speed. Yet within the Heavenly Demon Art, Wanwan moved with ease, even faster—her two veils flashed toward Hou Xibai… He didn’t even have time to stop them!
Cough!!!
At that critical moment, a magnificent white sword aura sliced through Wanwan’s veils. The veils immediately lost their strength, shifting from steel-hard to utterly powerless and soft. Under the threat of that sword, Wanwan retreated to the rooftop above the restaurant. Glancing down at her broken veils, she said to the person on the opposite rooftop, “Senior sister, do all upright people attack silently from behind without warning?”
“I’ve long heard that Miss Wanwan is sharp-tongued and formidable. Seeing her today confirms the rumors,” Shi Feixuan replied calmly, neither trying to trick her nor getting angry. Her tone was gentle, and her aura seemed even more serene than last time by the “Extreme Yin Lake,” as if she had made progress in her sword mastery.
The two women had plenty to talk about, but around Shi Feixuan, Wanwan seemed irritable and easily angered.
“You brought this upon yourself,” she snapped. With a cold huff, she stepped forward barefoot, reducing the distance of several meters to zero in an instant, appearing right beside Shi Feixuan.
The clash between two peak masters of the Wuwei Realm and two stunning beauties immediately attracted countless eyes! It also caught the attention of someone sitting in a nearby restaurant, who had been quietly observing the situation with a faint smile on their lips.
With the Nine Yang Divine Skill fully activated, his brows furrowed abruptly! Besides Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, Hou Xibai… there were several other powerful auras hidden in the vicinity…
“It seems the news about Master Yang’s treasure trove is true.”
