CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 261: HAVOC AT THE FIVE INTERNAL ORGANS TEMPLE (PART 2)

"Qing Niu brothers, in the residence of Lord Prefect, there is a guest known as ’Divine Blade’, Master Bai Zhan. I will pretend to visit the Lord Prefect and meet Bai Zhan to delay him. Meanwhile, follow the route I gave you, go to ’Tianran’s’ room, and secretly take him away, make sure to be quick."

Cheng Qingniu chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, don’t worry."

At the same time.

Lord Prefect Li Lishan, looking exhausted, was carried by an eight-person sedan chair back to his residence.

"Master is back!" As soon as he entered the hall, six extremely beautiful concubines respectfully and skillfully went up to assist Li Lishan in changing clothes.

Li Lishan was listlessly served, changing clothes and washing up. Once he was dressed, he casually asked,

"Has the young master gone to bed?"

"Replying to the master, he has just been coaxed to sleep. Before sleeping, he was pestering the master to take him to West Mountain to play tomorrow." The concubine softly replied.

"There’s no time for that, you take him tomorrow." Li Lishan said, "Alright, I’ll rest now, you can all leave, no need to attend to the bed tonight."

Just as Li Lishan was preparing to retire.

In the corridor, a swordsman in hemp clothes carrying a long blade bowed respectfully.

"Reporting to Master, young master Tiansheng has come, saying he needs to see you."

He led Li Tiansheng over.

Li Tiansheng followed behind the hemp-clothed swordsman,

silently observing the other’s back.

This person named ’Bai Zhan’, nicknamed ’Divine Blade’, was an honored guest of the Lord Prefect’s residence from the Seventh Realm. Though seemingly just a guest, his bladesmanship was acknowledged by even Qin Yuxian at the time. If his ’Divine Blade Skill’ could reach the perfection realm, even Qin found it difficult to take him down.

Lord Prefect looked at his one-eyed son walking behind Bai Zhan, expressionless, and asked,"Why come at such a late hour? What’s so important that needs you to see me?"

"Father."

Li Tiansheng lowered his head, covering half of his eye, and said,

"I heard Assistant General Zhao Qiansong is leading twenty thousand troops, yet still can’t capture Baojiao City. I specially came to relieve father’s worries, willing to donate Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold to supplement military expenses."

Upon hearing this, Prefect Li Lishan immediately shook off his drowsiness, seriously observing his one-eyed son, "Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold? Is this your wish or your foster father’s wish?"

Li Tiansheng had long prepared for shedding blood, as long as he could achieve his goal, Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Pure Gold was just a small portion of Hongwu Meeting’s assets.

This was also what Purple Gold Elder specifically instructed him, so he wouldn’t be suspected by Li Lishan after trouble arose.

Who would suspect a filial son sending money to his old father in the middle of the night?

"It’s my intention, the Demon People rebellion in Baojiao County is no small matter, and the son understands father should now be facing great pressure from the Imperial Court, so he told foster father, and foster father agreed." Li Tiansheng replied fluently.

"It’s commendable that you have such filial piety."

Li Lishan looked again at Li Tiansheng’s single eye, seemingly finding it less unpleasant, inwardly thinking,

"These Fifty Taels of Pure Gold are timely; Zhao Qiansong has been idling for years, assuming control of Qiu Dragon Mansion’s troops and holding military authority, hindering me in all matters, yet now cannot capture a small Baojiao County. It’s perfect for me to send an invitation to the governor, to dismiss his Assistant General position."

At that time, he could replace him with someone from his faction, reorganize a new Qiu Dragon army, and that would be when money and grain are needed.

In this way, his son truly arrives with a pillow when needed.

"It’s what a son should do." Li Tiansheng looked at his old father, whose beard was now white, very respectfully.

"Not bad." Li Lishan now viewed his son more favorably, seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, Qin Yuxian has been missing for so long without news, what does your Hongwu Meeting think?"

Li Tiansheng slightly delighted, hearing a chance for his father’s aid, was about to speak.

Just as he and his Prefect father started discussing matters regarding the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting.

On the other side.

Though Cheng Qingniu appeared rough and reckless, he was after all a martial practitioner of the Seventh Realm. After the Seventh Realm swordsman Bai Zhan was led away, he entered the Prefect’s rear courtyard, as if in no man’s land.

Shortly thereafter, he found the two-story pavilion belonging to the young master, Li Tianran.

Listening to the young master’s breathing on the second floor.

With a leap, his enormous form reached the second floor, then lightly landed outside the window. A glance revealed a sculpted jade-like little boy asleep on the azure soft bed, appearing no more than five or six years old.

Cheng Qingniu flipped into the room, saw the little boy, licked his lips, chuckled, and said:

"The Magistrate’s precious son, I wonder what he tastes like?"

Chen Ku heard this from inside his stomach.

Originally, he thought this black brute had some kind of pedophilic fetish, but then he sensed the black brute salivating, clearly displaying a ’gourmand’ reaction.

Then he understood.

"This black brute actually has a taste for eating children. Truly raised not by humans!"

Chen Ku followed Cheng Qingniu up to the second floor. Since the other had already arrived at the ’crime scene,’ he no longer needed to wait, immediately drawing the Golden Stick from within his stomach!

Gripping the Golden Stick, all his Five Elements True Qi combined with approximately Seven Dragon Power.

As he made his move...

The force of the stick in his hand surged continuously, suddenly transforming into a fiery red stick, aimed at a position in the black brute’s intestines at the Five Internal Organs Temple, fiercely smashed down!

Rumble!!

Inside Cheng Qingniu’s stomach, a whirlwind of flames instantly swirled, accompanied by Chen Ku swinging the stick like a comet’s tail, with terrifying force enough to crush a great hall, landing solidly on the kidney area behind the intestines.

"Tender-skinned little fellow..."

The coarse-skinned, black-faced Cheng Qingniu, tucking the Xuanhua Axe, strode forward, intending to grab the little boy on the bed with a large hand, ready to roll him up along with the bedding.

At this moment, his ox-like eyes shrank violently, feeling as if a mass of explosive capable of blowing up a mountain had detonated inside his intestines and belly!

Bam!!

Chen Ku’s fully gathered stick, fiercely struck Cheng Qingniu’s stomach wall. Although blocked by the Seventh Realm martial practitioner’s stomach wall’s Qi Membrane and the Protective Inner Gang within, preventing it from bursting out from inside and rupturing his intestines, it still made many tiny blood vessels in Cheng Qingniu’s stomach swell and rupture, causing many nerves and meridians to swell painfully!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Cheng Qingniu uncontrollably let out a roar of unbearable pain, a pain indescribable. As Contest Killing God, over decades, he had experienced countless battles, injuries were a frequent occurrence.

But the external flesh wounds could not compare to the internal organ rupture, the agony from within his Five Internal Organs and Six Viscera.

The sudden, intense pain made Cheng Qingniu feel like his head was going to explode!

His sudden wail, like fireworks lighting up the night sky, instantly awakened everyone in the entire Prefecture Mansion.

The closest to him was naturally the young master on the second floor.

Directly stunned by the booming voice of his wail, carrying Seventh Realm Gang Qi, fainting on the bed.

Ahhh!!!

As the wail echoed throughout the Prefecture Mansion.

Li Lishan, who was discussing how to deliver the Five Hundred Thousand Pure Gold with his son, turned pale and immediately knew where the wailing came from.

"Tianran! It’s Tianran’s room! Quickly! Master Bai, go quickly and see who it is! What’s happening!!!"

As the top guardian master of the Prefecture Mansion.

"Understood, my lord!"

Bai Zhan’s expression also changed drastically, and without hesitation, he dashed over.

Li Tiansheng’s expression changed drastically too, countless questions arose in his heart:

"Cheng Qingniu! What are you doing! Have you gone mad!!"

Wasn’t it just to abduct a child, the route was given to you, the experts distracted for you, yet suddenly you let out a wail?

Unexpectedly, as his expression changed drastically.

Li Lishan’s roar came through:

"Why are you still dawdling? Aren’t you also a Seventh Realm martial practitioner? Hurry and get over there too! See who it is!"
