1045: Chapter 642 1045: Chapter 642 Who were the attackers?
There were several masked figures, tall in stature.
Judging by their build, they did not seem to be from Ancient Xia Country.
The guards and junior brothers were already fighting them.
The attackers wielded unique knives and fought with brutal techniques.
Among them, there were figures resembling women, as well as Eastern men.
As for why these people had gathered to attack their campsite—
It hadn’t occurred to them in the heat of the moment that foreigners and people from various countries had colluded to cause trouble!
There was just a sense that some of them looked familiar, but because their faces were masked, it wasn’t clear who exactly they were.
Tang Feiyang descended from the sky to help.
Within a short period, the attackers had burned the tents his junior brothers prepared, igniting their fury!
The people Tang Feiyang brought with him went from initial chaos to rage once he joined the fray.
“Clang clang clang”
The sound of clashing blades.
Some even resorted to throwing powder, intending to use despicable means to subdue them!
Yingzi’s people were among them.
Since the time they went wolf hunting, they had fallen into a trap and were captured!
Huang Lei did not kill them outright, aiming to exploit their value to the utmost!
These people had already taken control of this inn, and neither the owner nor the staff dared to provoke them!
Although they were ostensibly weak women who had been captured, and some men had been detained, no one came to their rescue!
Huang Lei detained these people in rooms, not by binding them but by pressing their acupoints to immobilize them, even feeding them during meal times.
They were only given one meal a day!
Huang Lei also used his spells to confine them in two rooms, maintaining control over both rooms.
His father and others kept watch over the situation outside!
They suspected that these women had accomplices and hoped to snag their would-be rescuers by capturing them together!
Days passed, and no one came to rescue them.
Huang Lei and his brothers weren’t in a hurry.
They toyed with the captive women in their rooms every time.
On this day, men arrived bearing swords, with fierce expressions, under the guise of conducting business, with horses and wagons, appearing as a group.
From their clothing and appearances, they were people from a neighboring country!
Upon arrival, they demanded the best rooms, their domineering behavior forcing the innkeeper to displace the other guests, leaving only their group to stay.
The innkeeper was troubled because some dangerous people already occupied the inn.
Although they did not look menacing, if they weren’t actually dangerous, why would they imprison people here in this lawless area?
“Guests, some have been staying here already.
We only have a few rooms left.
I hope you can make do and stay here,” the innkeeper said.
The fierce newcomers glared with their half-baked foreign accent:
“What?
You expect two to three of us to share one room?
Do you have a death wish?
I’ll kill all of you!”
Offending any party meant they could end up dead!
Huang Lei and his group overheard and observed the imprisoned, looking on with schadenfreude.
Huang Lei and his accomplices exchanged glances and then rummaged through the pockets of their captives, finding some medicines in the women’s pockets.
The women, immobilized by acupoint pressing, were touched by the men who searched their bodies, and the very medicines meant to save their lives were taken from them!
Yingzi felt somewhat resentful towards Du Jiaolan for not trying to rescue them!
Her heart filled with hatred – how did they end up provoking these bastards?
She glared at Huang Lei and his men with intense loathing.
But why would Huang Lei care about the glares of these women?
Having encountered countless people, he saw all this as mere play.
Already playing the role of a shameless playboy, what did he care for tenderness and compassion, especially behind a mask?
With these thoughts in mind, the foreign villains were still whining while they had already driven some of the guests out of the inn!
Huang Lei and these nobles didn’t even have to show their faces, allowing their subordinates to distribute the medicine into the air!
The foreign villains, holding swords, wanting to kill disobedient waiters and innkeepers, only frightened these people into running away!
However, those who came here to do business in such terrible weather and who were unwilling to make peace, what were they planning in their hearts?
Only they themselves knew, and in this town, there was only one inn; within twenty miles, this was the only town with an inn!
If they left this place, they could only stay in the poor villages!
With such cold weather, where could one find good things to eat in the poor villages?
Wanting to eat something decent here, it was all prepared in advance by the innkeeper!
The evildoers didn’t yet realize that the scents of medicinal drugs in the air had turned into illusions, and then their minds, their souls, were being destroyed.
Mesmerized by drugs, their once fierce expressions slowly stiffened and then went blank!
A moment ago they were fierce and behaving strangely!
The people with torches and those from the inn, even those who smelled the drugs, whether human or beast, once they smelled it, their souls were controlled.
The drug induced illusions and took over their minds, making them obedient to the one who drugged them!
Huang Lei watched with dissatisfaction as Yingzi and his brothers leisurely came down, seeing that so many people were already under their control, they were not afraid of these women turning against them.
With their illusion techniques, they directly took control of all these Western villains, the captured women, and their own people!
Yingzi and her female subordinates, who had been exposed to these drugs since childhood, weren’t affected by them at all, unlike the Prime Minister’s subordinates, who were all obedient to them!
Huang Lei proposed conditions for cooperating with these women, saying that they should use the Westerners to cause some trouble!
Yingzi discussed with the women, bearing a grudge against Tang Feiyang and his party in their hearts.
If not for them, they would not have fallen into danger!
This woman didn’t consider that organizing this plan was to cause innocent people of Ancient Xia Country to die, to be under their control!
The current chaos was entirely part of their country’s plan to send people again!
The foundation that had taken years to establish had resulted in so many deaths in the previous few months!
But these women were unharmed, still lying in ambush!
Such a big plan surely wouldn’t suffice with just these women, and now they were colluding with others to make a move, hoping to release demonic beasts from control, causing chaos to begin in the Cultivation World.
As long as the north fell into disarray, they would have the opportunity!
Even if many came later to slay demonic beasts, they had already gained a head start, aiming to wipe out sect members and ordinary citizens and see Xia Country’s rivers run red with blood!
Then no one would be able to stop their countrymen from coming in, unguarded against them!
Huang Lei accepted this idea; after all, he came here to cause trouble, and now with a mask to boot, as long as they didn’t appear, they could do whatever they wanted.
They would just plot behind the scenes, letting these women, along with the people they brought—and even the Westerners—ambush those in the tents!
Moreover, they discovered that these Westerners were not just a few, but many were lurking on the periphery; these few were merely here for reconnaissance!
Whether for scouting or not, they still treated their hands like assassins, to wreak havoc and cause trouble!
Huang Lei learned from these people’s souls that the Westerners were already using demonic beasts, preparing to invade from beyond the borders!
They planned to stealthily advance from the north but were delayed by the snow and ice!
The Westerners were allying with many countries; from this land and close to the north, there are two small neighboring countries, they all banded together to stir up trouble!
Only then did Huang Lei realize that the Westerners had already established communication with the Demon Realm, ready to carve out a bloody path!
Du Jiaolan quietly became aware that other people had already united with their organization, beginning to sow chaos, and among them were people from other countries!
She didn’t know what Yingzi was thinking, only that their meddling might have been under someone else’s control!
Considering how powerful the people in the sky were, could their chaotic actions really succeed?
