Chapter 1 Imprudent Plan

The idea of going directly to the central area of the Yin-Yang Inn wasn't realistic.

Since Shopkeeper Jia was able to usurp the nest and dominate a section of the inn, he would inevitably guard the road to the center of the inn. With our current manpower, whether we could break through was still a question.

Even if we stormed into the center of the inn, who could predict what dangers were hidden there?

You should know that the owner of the Yin-Yang Inn was a mysterious existence that even the Yin Si (Netherworld) Embroidered Uniform Guards couldn't find a single clue about.

Ling said, "I think the key to the Yin-Yang Inn should still be with Zhao Yuezhu!"

Zhao Yuezhu?

Ling was right. Zhao Yuezhu's true identity was Yueying Dao (Moon Shadow Thief).

The only person who could open the emperor's mausoleum without a key.

She was able to hide the note in the dishes Shopkeeper Jia personally delivered without anyone noticing, indicating that she had been infiltrating the Yin-Yang Inn for some time.

Zhao Yuezhu asked us to go to Villa No. 81, there must be her purpose.

I pondered, "Ling, how do you plan to arrange the manpower?"

Ling said, "You, me, and Yefang Zhang (Head of the Ye Family), the three of us will go to No. 81! Tianji and Su Su will stay behind."

"After we leave, Shopkeeper Jia will definitely take the opportunity to test us."

"Tianji, Su Su, you just kill people, you don't need to have any concerns."

"If there is really someone you can't deal with, send me a message immediately, and I will find a way to deal with it."

I looked at Cang Tianji and Su Su, "Can these two do it? Why don't we leave Ye Yang behind as well?"

Neither Su Su nor Cang Tianji were good at close combat. Without someone to protect them, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to deal with the experts in the inn.

Ling shook her head and said, "You underestimate the two of them."

"Fate and luck are existences that even gods cannot resist."

"A Ming Shi (Fate Master) and a Yun Shi (Luck Master) working together is the most terrifying combination."

"This time, it's a good opportunity for them to work together."

"Besides, we're leaving, isn't there Wanwan here?"

I looked at the round lion dog in Ling's backpack and couldn't help but feel a toothache.

I felt that it was just like Cheng Ying's fat cat, who could seize every opportunity to eat and sleep?

Cang Tianji took Wanwan out with a bit of doting: "With it here, ordinary ghosts and gods can't hurt us. Besides, my combat power is not low either."

I thought about it, and in fact, what Cang Tianji said was right, she was the one who single-handedly overturned a snow mountain temple.

I felt relieved and asked Ling, "When are we leaving?"

Ling stood up and said, "Now!"

Ling left as soon as she said, not only without stopping for a moment, but even without concealing her whereabouts.

Ye Yang and I stopped shortly after following Ling out of the courtyard. Ye Yang used his toe to push away the floating soil on the ground: "No. 81 is nearby!"

I looked at Ye Yang and said, "When I saw No. 81 just now, it was clearly thousands of meters away from us. Can it move?"

Ling also said, "Ye Yang is right, that villa is near us. Look at the brick on the ground."

Only then did I realize that a yellow brick covered with moss was exposed in the soil that Ye Yang had pushed away.

When I saw No. 81, I felt strange. Although the house was covered with moss, I could also see that the villa used yellow bricks.

Yellow bricks are also called fire bricks. Although their strength and durability are much worse than red bricks, they can withstand high temperatures. Under normal circumstances, yellow bricks are only used when building a furnace or a kiln.

In the direction of the villa area, only No. 81 used yellow bricks, so it looked particularly eye-catching.

Ye Yang moved a few steps to the left along the direction of the brick and stood down again: "Follow me!"

I followed behind Ye Yang and kept changing directions. At first, I could remember my direction, but after a while, I became dizzy and couldn't find north, south, east, or west. I only knew to follow Ye Yang and move forward.

I don't know how long it took before Ye Yang suddenly stopped, but I didn't have time to stop and crashed directly into Ye Yang. After Ye Yang pushed me back, he looked at me with disgust: "Didn't make you vomit, did I?"

"Get lost!" I looked around and found that Ling was gone: "Ling, where did you go?"

Ye Yang couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Ling has already left from another road. You're nothing, she said hello to you before she left, but you didn't even see it, you're nothing!"

"Get lost!" As I turned around, I happened to see the courtyard wall of the small courtyard where we were staying.

"No. 81 is only a wall away from us? Then the house I saw just now..."

I couldn't figure out why No. 81, which was clearly thousands of miles away, would appear outside the wall?

If, according to this distance, I was almost soul-snatched by the other party just now, it would make sense.

After Ye Yang led me into No. 81, I realized that there were traces of fire burning everywhere in the villa. No wonder I didn't see the doors and windows of the villa from a distance.

It wasn't until I walked into the hall of the villa that I saw a corpse sitting on a yellow brick.

The yellow brick under the corpse had been modified into the shape of a chair, like half a brick kiln. The corpse, which looked like it had been burned, was nailed to the brick seat with coffin nails.

If I hadn't just walked in from outside the courtyard, I would have probably mistaken this place for an execution ground for carrying out fire punishment.

I was just about to take a closer look at the corpse when Ye Yang raised his long sword at the corpse.
