Chapter 57

Under the deep moonlight, the lamplight flickered, and with a gust of wind, it seemed about to go out, but quickly steadied itself, illuminating a small area. In the shadow where the firelight could not reach, a black figure flashed and disappeared. He came from outside the city, moving at an incredible speed, like a black panther in the night, elusive and hard to catch. Soon, the black figure arrived at a large house in the city, leaping three times and landing outside a room in the backyard.

He crouched on the roof, gently lifting a tile, and peered into the room. Inside, steam rose, and a graceful figure gently stirred in a bathtub, incredibly alluring.

"Such a fine figure, such a fine figure!" The man's eyes gleamed, and he clicked his tongue. By the moonlight, one could see that he was around thirty, with a small mustache on his upper lip, a slender build, and a peculiar weapon in his hand, part staff, part claw. However, his lecherous expression revealed that he was not a good person.

"Little beauty, I'm here!" The man, with a lecherous laugh, plunged down from the roof. The sound of breaking tiles startled the young lady bathing inside. She looked up, saw the man falling, and let out a loud scream.

The loud scream instantly woke up the entire mansion, and the firelight quickly illuminated the courtyard. However, when everyone arrived, there was no sign of the young lady or the lecher.

The leading wealthy man, a fat man, saw the scene and broke out in a cold sweat. He patted his chest as if relieved and respectfully said to the young man standing beside him, "Mr. Bai, if it weren't for your plan, my daughter would have been in danger."

The man shook his head and said, "This lecher has been causing chaos in the mountain city. I just made a small contribution. It's nothing. Mr. Zhuang, I need to go capture the lecher. I'll take my leave now."

"Mr. Bai, please!" The wealthy man immediately bowed, and Bai Xiaosheng leaped up, chasing the direction the lecher had disappeared in.

After obtaining the Yi Jin Jing, Shen Zu Jing, and Nine Yin Divine Skill, Bai Xiaosheng hid in the system, diligently studying and practicing. When he had made some initial progress, the time-space tunnel reopened, and Bai Xiaosheng immediately entered it. When he came out, he was back in the mutated Tianlong world. He had been gone for ten days, which meant he had spent a month in the Nine Yin world.

Although the month seemed short, it brought him great gains, and his martial arts skills advanced rapidly. He believed that even if he met Elder Yue, he would not be at a disadvantage. However, before he could find Elder Yue, he heard from his disciples that a lecher had appeared in the mountain city, abducting seven or eight girls, causing panic.

Bai Xiaosheng carefully investigated the lecher's methods and devised a plan. He used a prostitute as bait, pretending to be the daughter of a wealthy family, praising her beauty so that everyone in the mountain city knew about it, to lure the lecher. Today, the lecher took the bait and abducted the bait. However, he did not know that Bai Xiaosheng had sprinkled a tracking perfume on him, making it impossible to escape within a kilometer.

Leaping out of the city, Bai Xiaosheng followed the arrows left by the beggar disciples, quickly heading north. Soon, he arrived outside a small estate. He was puzzled and meowed twice. Soon, a beggar appeared nearby. Bai Xiaosheng quickly walked over and whispered, "Did he really enter here?"

The beggar nodded and said, "Yes, our brothers saw him enter."

"Strange, isn't this Mr. Zhuang's own residence?" Bai Xiaosheng muttered and asked, "Have you been inside?"

The beggar shook his head and said, "That guy is very cautious. There are many obstacles outside the yard. We didn't dare to enter for fear of alarming him."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Lead your brothers over the wall. I'll enter through the front door. Remember, be careful and don't let the lecher notice you."

"Yes!" The beggar went to prepare, and Bai Xiaosheng directly stepped forward, kicked open the door, and loudly shouted, "Ha... the lecher inside, come out and face me!"

"Damn, how dare you disturb my fun! You must be tired of living!" With a roar, a figure instantly rushed out of the room, glaring at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng carefully examined the man. From his attire, he had a sudden realization.

In the Tianlong world, the names of the Four Evils were very well-known. Duan Yanqing had already gained a great reputation, Ye Erniang was also famous, and recently, Elder Yue had also become well-known. Only Yun Zhonghe had not yet appeared. From this man's attire and weapon, he was none other than the great lecher Yun Zhonghe from the Tianlong Bajian.

'The Four Evils, today I will make you three!' Bai Xiaosheng thought coldly, his face filled with killing intent. He drew his long sword, pointed it at Yun Zhonghe, and said, "Little lecher, you have harmed many girls. I will kill you today, and you will have no regrets!"

"Good boy, let's see what you can do to talk such big talk!" Yun Zhonghe raised his weapon, and his entire body flew up, clawing at Bai Xiaosheng. His martial arts were just beginning, and his lightness skill was extremely powerful. The distance of seven or eight meters between them was covered in an instant, shocking Bai Xiaosheng. However, his reaction was quick, and he swung his three-foot-long sword, the sword light like cold moonlight, slicing at the weapon. With a clang, their weapons collided, and Yun Zhonghe used the force to leap high, attacking again from the air, while Bai Xiaosheng took two steps back and threw a handful of dust.

"Despicable boy..." Yun Zhonghe cursed, thinking it was poison, and quickly flipped back. However, Bai Xiaosheng pressed forward, his sword movements sharp, forcing Yun Zhonghe to retreat continuously without a chance to counterattack.

In a moment, they had exchanged seventeen or eighteen moves. Under Bai Xiaosheng's sword, Yun Zhonghe was in a very awkward position, unable to counterattack and struggling to defend. If not for his superb lightness skill, he would have been cut by Bai Xiaosheng long ago.

'Damn, this boy's sword skills are formidable, I need to retreat!' Yun Zhonghe, seeing he could not win, quickly used his lightness skill to escape Bai Xiaosheng's attack and leaped to flee the estate. Unfortunately, he had already fallen into Bai Xiaosheng's trap. As he flew up, he felt a strong wind from above, and his body quickly turned in the air. However, the next moment, a large net instantly enveloped him.

Yun Zhonghe panicked, waving his weapon to break free, but before he could make any further moves, he felt a cold sensation in his back, and the sword tip pierced through his body. 'How could this be?' He looked at the cold sword tip in his chest, filled with regret. He had just entered the martial world and did not want to die yet. Unfortunately, his thoughts faded, and he lost his breath almost instantly.

With a thud, Yun Zhonghe's body hit the ground, and Bai Xiaosheng pulled out his sword, wiped the blood from the tip, and sheathed it, a smile on his face.

Killing Yun Zhonghe so easily was indeed unexpected, but upon reflection, it made sense, given the preparations he had made.

When he heard from the beggar disciples about the lecher's methods, he realized his lightness skill was superb and feared he would escape using it. Therefore, he set a trap. Today's success was not in vain.

"Brothers, our success is worth celebrating. Mr. Zhuang has already said he will treat us to drinks when we return."

"Great!" The beggar disciples cheered. After they cheered for a while, Bai Xiaosheng called one of them over, instructing him to lead the brothers back and to carry the body back for everyone to see. He himself led two brothers to search the estate.

In the backyard, Bai Xiaosheng found the girls who had been abducted in recent days. They had all been violated by Yun Zhonghe and were in a state of despair, as if waiting to die. If not for Yun Zhonghe tying them up, they would have committed suicide to preserve their honor.

Shaking his head, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to untie their ropes, but when he pulled back the curtain, he saw that the girls were all naked, shocking him. He quickly let the curtain fall and said, "Ladies, I apologize for the intrusion. Please do not be offended."

The girls, with their speech points sealed, could not speak, but tears streamed down their faces, evoking sympathy.

"Right, where is Miss Taohong? Please bring her here quickly!" Bai Xiaosheng remembered the prostitute used as bait and immediately instructed a beggar disciple. The disciple nodded and soon brought Miss Taohong in. Bai Xiaosheng said, "Miss Taohong, these girls are not dressed. Please help them."

"Hehe... Of course, as long as you visit me more often, I'll be happy to help them, even for a lifetime." Taohong, who seemed like a well-bred lady when she was quiet, revealed her true nature with her words, her voice filled with a worldly charm.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Miss Taohong, please don't joke around."

"Really, our Mr. Bai is not very polite! Hehe..." Taohong giggled, pulled back the curtain, and walked in, while Bai Xiaosheng and the others quickly left, not daring to watch.

Standing outside, Bai Xiaosheng heard a commotion inside and immediately pushed the door open. He saw Taohong standing helplessly, and the girl she had just untied had crashed her head into the wall, blood gushing out.

Bai Xiaosheng, seeing this, rushed to check the girl's wound, but she had hit her head with great force, shattering her skull, and there was no saving her.

Seeing a life end before his eyes, Bai Xiaosheng felt a mix of emotions. In modern times, she would not have done this, but in ancient times, chastity was everything for a woman. Without chastity, life was worse than death, and this was ingrained in their education. The girl, upon gaining freedom, immediately chose to die.

"Ah!" He sighed heavily, not daring to ask Taohong to untie the other girls. He went outside and instructed two beggar disciples, "Go find the parents of these girls. If..."

Bai Xiaosheng hesitated, unable to continue. Not only did the girls value chastity, but so did others. He was worried about how the parents would treat these girls.

"Alright, go ahead!" He sighed, suddenly feeling physically and mentally exhausted. He had never felt this way before, but today's events had left him drained, wanting to rest. However, he knew he could not rest, or the other girls might follow the first one's fate.
