In order to prevent the little tail from following them, Yun Xichen deliberately circled Lihang City a few times. After getting rid of the little tail, she carried the cat demon youth back to the inn.
The innkeeper did not ask much when he saw Yun Xichen return with a cat demon. There was a demon trading market here, and countless demons were sold here every day. It was good to be an innkeeper, and there was no need to get into trouble.
The moment they entered the house, Catwoman, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly spoke. She asked in a hoarse voice," What do you want to ask me?”
"Where are the demons of the Heavenly Immortal Academy locked up?”Yun Xichen forcefully turned the question into a statement. She sat at the table and poured a glass of water for the catwoman." Drink some water. Your throat will feel better."”
The cat demon looked at Yun Xichen and then at the water in front of him. His eyes were filled with doubt and struggle, but he finally made up his mind to drink it all in one gulp.
A glass of cool water slid down his throat and into his stomach. His dry and sore throat did feel a little better. The young Catwoman's wariness towards Yun Xichen had been lowered a little.
Yun Xichen could understand the cat demon's wariness. He looked human now.
In order to sneak into the Heavenly Immortal Academy, Yun Xichen deliberately robbed several Taoists who left the city, hoping to find a magic treasure that could hide their aura on them. Unexpectedly, he really found it. If Yun Xichen did not use a large amount of demonic powers, no one would be able to tell that he was a demon.
"Why? Why are you asking about the Heavenly Immortal Academy?" When the cat demon youth heard the name of the Heavenly Immortal Academy, he was practically no different from a cat that had its fur standing on end. It seemed that he must have experienced something very, very terrifying there.
"My two sisters have been taken away. I'm here to save them.”Yun Xichen told him his purpose truthfully and did not hide anything from the catwoman.
If he wanted to gain trust, he had to be honest, right?
" You..." The catwoman could not finish his sentence. Yun Xichen covered his mouth with one hand and used the other hand to make a silent gesture. He used a secret voice transmission method to say," Listen, if you don't want to cause us trouble, shut up."”
The cat demon youth Lian Man nodded when he heard the soft voice. Swallowing his saliva, the cat demon looked at Yun Xichen in shock, admiring his courage and strength.
To dare to come alone to a city full of humans to save his two sisters, he must be very brave and powerful!
Very soon, doubt appeared in the young cat demon's heart again. He raised his guard again." You are clearly…"
"Who told you that I can't use magic treasures?”Yun Xichen was implying that he had used a magic treasure to hide his aura. He believed that the cat demon would understand what he meant.
"But…" Demons are good at strength but not wisdom? The young cat demoness wanted to express this point.
Yun Xichen knocked his head helplessly." Use your brain more. It's good."”
Sighing, Yun Xichen realized that he had not gotten to the main topic. He did not want to drag it out any longer and said seriously," Listen, I want to know your name and background now. Also, tell me where the Heavenly Immortal Academy keeps the demons. If you have any relatives locked up there, I can help you get them out.”
Catwoman still had doubts about Yun Xichen." Can I trust you?"”
The young cat demon asked Yun Xichen and himself.
Yun Xichen was amused by the catwoman's actions. He quickly stopped smiling and said in a deep voice," I, Yun Xichen, never make promises that I can't keep.”
The catwoman was so shocked that she could not speak. She pointed at Yun Xichen and her entire body was trembling. After a while, the cat demon said bitterly," You're actually Yun Xichen?”
It was Xia Yu's doing again! Yun Xichen rolled his eyes in his heart." I'm very famous?”
The Cat Demon quickly nodded, the little ears on her head following his movements,"You're very famous for being able to disperse Pure Yang Flames."”
He knew this would happen. Yun Xichen facepalmed." Alright, tell me your name."”
"My name is Bai Ling." The cat demon first reported his name, then told Yun Xichen everything he knew about the Heaven Immortal Academy.
Midnight was the most sleepy time for all creatures except for the night animals. Thick dark clouds covered the night sky, and there was almost no light on the ground except for the sparse lights. Occasionally, one or two streams of light flashed across the sky above Lihang City. This was the Taoist priest of the Yi Dao Alliance on his way. The outline of Lihang City was blurry in the night, like a giant beast that was hibernating.
Yun Xichen, who was covered in a dark blue robe, was moving quickly and silently in the shadow of the building. Without the bustling pedestrians for the past hundred days, the wide streets were very empty. Yun Xichen had to hide his figure very carefully to avoid being discovered and causing big trouble.
According to Bai Ling's intelligence and his understanding of Lihang City in the past two days, Yun Xichen had successfully found the enemy who had been captured by the Heavenly Immortal Academy. The biggest feature of the place was a vermilion door that looked very luxurious.
As far as Yun Xichen knew, there were only two places in Lihang City that used vermilion gates. One was the City Lord's Mansion, and the other was the Ding Family's courtyard.
The City Lord's Mansion was the location of the One Dao Alliance. They, who prided themselves on justice, would not do such things in the open. Then, there was only the Ding Family Compound left.
Yun Xichen quietly sneaked near the Ding family's courtyard. A small wisp of demonic aura spread out with him as the center. Yun Xichen checked the surroundings for any hidden sentries or shadow guards.
The demonic aura was too weak, and there were many demons locked up here, so Yun Xichen was not afraid of being exposed.
A total of thirty-two hidden sentries were scattered around the Ding family courtyard. They were roughly around the middle yao level and were not difficult to deal with.
Yun Xichen sneered, pulled out the dagger from his leg, and disappeared into the shadows.
……
Ding Yang was an old man who had served the Ding family for more than ten years. It could be said that he was a secret guard when the Ding family made a fortune. However, because his aptitude was not good, he had been stagnant for so many years, resulting in him still being a secret guard.
As a guard hidden in the dark, his mission was to monitor any faces that appeared around the Ding Family courtyard and deal with suspicious existences.
"Who would want to die?" Ding Yang complained as he monitored the streets in his jurisdiction. He secretly took out the wine he had hidden and raised his head to take a sip.
A pair of strong arms suddenly stretched out from behind him, tightly strangling his neck and covering his mouth and nose. Everything happened too quickly. Ding Yang didn't have time to react before his neck was broken.
Yun Xichen supported the lifeless body and quietly dragged it away, hiding it in a large wooden box.
"I thought you guys were very powerful.”Yun Xichen said disdainfully and wiped the blood on his armor. This was left behind when he first used a dagger to assassinate the secret guard. After realizing that these secret guards could not detect his approach, Yun Xichen began to assassinate them with his bare hands until he had finished off all the secret guards.
After a few steps, Yun Xichen climbed up the tall courtyard wall and leaned over. His good night vision helped him see the situation inside.
In front of him was a pond that occupied quite a lot of space. There were pavilions and corridors on the pond. They should have been built by skilled craftsmen. The workmanship and carvings were very exquisite. Lanterns hung under the eaves of the pavilions and corridors, emitting a dim yellow light.
Looking further, Yun Xichen could no longer see clearly. She could only get closer to find out.
