CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 493: PINCER ATTACK FROM FRONT AND BACK

Lingbei Dao, Yaozhou.

Wanfu County, Wild Wolf Mountain.

Leng Jue Ming and Bei Huang were drinking, enjoying a jar of twenty-pound Wuliangye sent by Liu Qingyan to the Huangfu Family.

This jar of wine had been stored by the Huangfu Family for a year, and they were reluctant to open it. However, with the appearance of these two demons, they immediately presented the wine, appeasing the suspicions the two had about the Huangfu Family.

Such fine wine is hard to find even in the Northern Domain, and the Huangfu Family offering it promptly shows their submission to Du Yu Mountain.

Although Bei Huang was malicious and cunning when dealing with enemies, he couldn’t compete with a fox in pure mind games.

Of course, the idea to bring the old lady and Huangfu Jing to Wild Wolf Mountain with a mix of carrot and stick was his.

With himself and Leng Jue Ming, two great experts, overseeing the situation, theoretically, this was enough for the Huangfu Family to remain loyal and not harbor second thoughts.

"The Central Plains are indeed vast and resourceful. From the myriad cuisines to even finely crafted wine, it’s so rich." Leng Jue Ming downed a gulp of wine, "I wonder when Mengtian can conquer the Central Plains, so we can kill and drink without a care."

Bei Huang couldn’t help but smirk, though still smiling, "Great Jing is prosperous but declining; when the Three Northern Countries take over the Central Plains, we will capitalize and march forth. Even the Buddhist and Daoist Paths will have to acknowledge us despite themselves. I estimate it will happen within a hundred years, so no rush, no rush."

Leng Jue Ming grabbed a roasted deer leg and took a big bite, "Hope it’s soon. Watching those delicate young ladies from the cities stir my Divine Soul, their flesh must be tastier than this lousy deer!"

Bei Huang nodded repeatedly, clinked bowls with Leng Jue Ming.

"The Central Plains are prosperous, the Anomaly Suppression Bureau and various Abnormal People are everywhere; we need to be cautious. After finding out the cause of Leng Jian’s death...

If the enemy is weak, we’ll take their lives. If they’re formidable, having the information is enough, we can return to the mountain.

Before we leave, we can visit neighboring counties of Yaozhou to plunder more mortal women and children, returning to the mountain to steam and enjoy them."

"Good! Good!" Leng Jue Ming nodded, sniffing as he caught the alluring aroma wafting from another chamber, causing his appetite to stir.

Knowing Leng Jue Ming’s nature well, Bei Huang pressed his hand down, whispering, "We still need the Huangfu Family’s help, so hold on until we’re back at Du Yu Mountain, where everything will be to your liking."

"Heh, fine." Leng Jue Ming smirked, baring sharp white teeth, "All three of them together, now that would be fun!"

Bei Huang nodded, sensing nearby where Huangfu Jing was serving the old lady, so he paid it no mind.

...

Leng Jue Ming was one of the three great experts within Du Yu Mountain’s Black Wolf Race, and Bei Huang was one of the four Vajra of other races, dispatched together by Black Wolf King Leng Li out of concern for his son.

With Leng Jue Ming’s strength complemented by Bei Huang’s brains, they were infallible.

The two traveled under Bei Huang’s guidance, without flying through the air, instead traversing through mountains and valleys, avoiding enemies, arriving at Wild Wolf Mountain unharmed.

However, they found the lairs on Wild Wolf Mountain long desolate, Leng Jian missing, without any trace of the Tiger Demon.

Never mind the Tiger Demon, who knows if it was ambushed by a master en route, but Leng Jian had been residing on Wild Wolf Mountain. His sudden disappearance, along with his cleanly vanished subordinates, only spelled death as the possibility.

After investigating around Wanfu County, no new sects had settled, naturally no suspect capable of killing Leng Jian was found, hence they resorted to pressing the largest yet incapable Huangfu Family for further investigation.

And for them...

It wasn’t easy to come out, so they aimed to indulge a bit.

Now the lairs on Wild Wolf Mountain had been refurbished, with a cave adjacent stacked with meats and wines, beside which were three small banshees gathered along their way.

Now, with Huangfu Jing unattainable, Leng Jue Ming’s gaze turned to the two banshees beside him.

Seeing Leng Jue Ming and Bei Huang looking at them, the two banshees with less than a Hundred Years of Dao Practice approached, one innocent, one seductive, clinging to Leng Jue Ming from both sides.

Another banshee, naturally went over to Bei Huang, poured him a bowl of wine, took a sip, and closed lips with him.

...

Upon hearing the unabashedly lewd sounds from the other cave, Huangfu Jing couldn’t help but sneer, "Mother, why not seal your ears and rest?"

The old lady was indifferent, drinking her last sip of soup, then murmured, "We came in the day before yesterday, right?"

"Indeed." Huangfu Jing nodded, her eyes glinting, "I wonder if Xu’er has made any progress?"

The old lady shook her head, "Difficult, how could this matter be easy?"

"Indeed." Huangfu Jing nodded.

Seemingly discussing the investigation of Leng Jian’s killing case, in fact the talk was of seeking aid far away.

The two seasoned old demons might have to ask Lu Zheng to seek assistance from his sect, and it’d be fast if help arrived within ten days.

But judging by the two demons’ demeanor, they seemed willing to wait another month.

The old lady, leaning on her cane, was about to rest when a figure emerged from the ground.

"Young Master Lu?"

As soon as Lu Zheng appeared, the magical power fluctuation from his emergence through the Earth Travel Technique immediately alerted Leng Jue Ming and Bei Huang.

"Who’s there?"

The next moment, the two tossed their wine cups, leaving the banshees behind, wrapped in a black wind, reaching the old lady’s stone chamber door in an instant.

Lu Zheng tapped the gourd, and two figures flew out from it, growing with the wind.

One floated towards the old lady and Huangfu Jing, with three Fox Tail Illusions shimmering behind, shielding them.

The other flew towards the cave entrance, facing the two demons with a wave of the hand. Over a dozen unrecognizable ancient characters, formed from light, collided directly with the two demons.

"Ancient Witchcraft?"

"Watch out!"

Leng Jue Ming swung both hands, wielding wind energy like a blade towards the ancient characters, then both wind blades and ancient characters dissipated in pairs.

Bei Huang, however, somersaulted, enveloping himself in smoke, then the smoke spread rapidly, filling a vast area.

"Huangfu Family! Such audacity! I’ll skin you alive!"

Lu Zheng smirked slightly, forming a seal technique with his hand, summoning clouds and gathering Qi, charging forward.

Leng Jue Ming was about to act, but Bei Huang, wrapped in smoke, retreated, "The newcomers are malignant, their true identity known, we should retreat first, strategize long-term, the Huangfu Family won’t escape, they’ll surely all be exterminated!"

As Bei Huang retreated, Leng Jue Ming wasn’t foolish enough to face two enemies alone, preparing to withdraw.

But just as they turned, their expressions changed dramatically.

"Du Yu Mountain, you have great nerve! I’ll skin you alive, make you into cloaks!"
