Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

In the air above Panlong Valley, Zhao Rui saw the Qi family disappear at the entrance of the valley. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they were temporarily safe.

He took out a bag the size of a watermelon, and placed it in front of Panlong Taoist with both hands, saying, "Thank you for helping me out, Senior. Please accept these spirit stones."

Taoist Panlong stroked his beard and said, "My friend, you are very wealthy! This is a flying sword and a storage bag. No wonder you got into trouble with the Qi family."

Zhao Rui hurriedly said: "I'm just lucky. I'm not like the Valley Master. The entire Panlong Valley is yours."

Taoist Panlong laughed and said, "You are honored guests when you come to this valley. As long as you do not leave Panlong Valley, even if Tyrant Blade comes, he cannot do anything to you. But if you leave the valley, you will be on your own!"

"Thank you for your protection, Master. We will never forget it." Zhao Rui said hurriedly.

Taoist Panlong waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed Shen Chenqing behind the flying sword. With a burning gaze, he asked, "Wonderful! What spiritual roots does the girl have?"

Shen Chenqing was stunned, and quickly bowed and said, "Replying to Senior, I have water spirit roots."

Taoist Panlong looked disappointed and said, "What a pity! If it is a wood spiritual root, then my Taoist lineage will have hope."

He shook his head, took a big step forward, and disappeared into the air in a few steps.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui quickly pressed down the sword, found a secluded place, and landed quietly.

Everyone in the valley was watching the battle just now, and he didn't want to be recognized by too many people.

Less than half an hour later.

Zhao Rui was the first to show his head among the weeds beside a path. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before jumping out and saying, "Come out, both of you!"

Qian Xiaoyi immediately showed his head, and before he even stepped out of the weeds, he asked, "Daoyou Zhao, what should we do now?"

Zhao Rui looked distressed and said, "We should never have let Quan Zhen Yan go. I didn't expect him to be so vicious that he would betray us even at the risk of his life."

Shen Chenqing was the last one to come out. He brushed off the grass debris on his body and comforted him, "Master Zhao, don't blame yourself too much. The other party has a foundation-building cultivator, so they may have other means."

"That's possible." Qian Xiaoyi quickly agreed.

Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "We have no foundation. We are just lucky this time. If the Valley Master had bad intentions, or had a good relationship with the Qi family, we might be dead by now. We need to be careful in the future."

"It took you a hundred years to realize this truth!" Qian Xiaoyi complained in his heart, but said: "The world is unpredictable, who can think of it!"

"Yes. Besides, this place is rich in spiritual energy and has everything needed for cultivation. Let's practice here and wait until we break through the foundation-building stage. Then we'll see how arrogant the Qi family will still be by then." Shen Chenqing said.

"This... seems to work!" Zhao Rui's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a method. Anyway, we are not short of spirit stones now."

"In that case, let's find a hotel to stay in first." Qian Xiaoyi said.

The three of them headed straight for the market place in the valley where there were many shops. As soon as they reached the main road, they saw many people coming out of their houses and walking along the mountain road towards the gambling house halfway up the mountain.

Zhao Rui grabbed a Taoist with pockmarked face and asked, "Fellow Taoist, where is the inn in the valley?"

The pockmarked Taoist scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "Inn? No... Why are you looking for an inn? Just go to the gambling house, the rooms upstairs are extremely cheap, almost free."

"Hmm..." Zhao Rui was very surprised and said, "Is that so? Thank you..."

Before he could finish his words, the Taoist with the pockmarked face had already left in a hurry.

Zhao Rui was extremely puzzled, when he suddenly heard three people approaching from a distance, saying, "Quick, quick, the results of tonight's championship contest are about to come out."

"Do you think it will still be the Lilac Fairy..."

"Championship competition?" Zhao Rui roughly guessed the reason, and immediately said to Shen Qian and the others, "It seems that there is some kind of competition going on in the gambling house! In any case, let's stay there first!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go, we don't have any other choice."

It was already dark at this time, and the bright moonlight sprinkled in the valley, making everything seem like a dream.

On the road leading to the gambling house, there are fluorites every few steps, leading countless people to the gambling house.

Everything was in perfect order, as if it had been rehearsed.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the gambling house, but at this time, it was no longer daytime, but there was a long queue of dozens of people.

Zhao Rui and the other two followed the flow of people and finally reached the counter after a while.

"Fellow Daoist, we want to open three rooms, but we don't know where to go to apply."

Behind the counter, a fat man with a big head and big ears was standing by. He said with a smile, "Dear guest, just go in, see the servants in blue shirts, and tell them. Our building is ten stories high, and the top six floors are all luxurious guest rooms. I guarantee you will be satisfied with your stay!"

"How is the room rate calculated?"

"My dear guest, you are being too polite. It is the greatest honor for Panlong Valley that you can come to visit us. Just tell the attendant that Fatty Wang promised to let you stay for half a month first."

As the two chatted, the people behind them began to be reluctant and urged, "Hurry up, go in and ask the servants, you can ask whatever you want."

Fatty Wang bowed and said, "Excuse me, sir! There's a championship contest going on inside, and they're all anxious to go in and place their bets! Go in and ask the blue-shirted attendants, they'll all know."

Zhao Rui didn't say anything else, and hurried into the hall under countless urging gazes.

It was already no longer afternoon in the gambling hall. There were only a few people sitting around the numerous gambling tables, and the vast majority of people gathered in the center of the gambling hall.

"What exactly is this championship contest about?" Zhao Rui and the other two were curious and immediately followed the crowd to squeeze inside.

At the innermost part of the crowd was a circle of blue hydrangeas, using the flowers as a boundary to separate the crowd from the stage in the middle.

In the center of the stage, where thousands of eyes are focused, a beautiful woman stands alone.

She was wearing a light blue silk dress with a peony pattern, her full breasts were clearly visible. Her snow-white neck was raised high, and she looked up at the sky along the jade arm he raised above her head.

Suddenly, a firebird chirped in the sky, flew around the crowd, and then turned into two large, beautiful characters above the stage:

'Get excited.'

"Dong...Dong...Dong" the drums sounded and the beauty began to dance.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, as if she was swimming in the water, graceful and charming, captivating everyone's heart.

The drum beats became faster and faster, and the beauty's dance became more and more agile, carrying the shawl higher and higher.

At a certain moment, the shawl suddenly turned into countless white silk threads and flew in all directions.

The soft white silk brushed across everyone's face, carrying with it a faint scent, like the lingering scent of summer.

Some people reach out and caress gently, some people lie on their backs and press against each other, and with their infatuated expressions, one seems to be able to feel the beauty's body temperature.

The ribbon brushed past everyone, then rolled back like the tide, finally returning to the beauty and rushing into the air.

Flames suddenly rose, and the ribbon finally turned into two large, beautiful characters:

'enemy.'

The big words gradually disappeared and turned into countless rose petals, floating down from the sky.

The crimson petals set off the beauty's skin that is whiter than frost and snow, forming a strong contrast and having a breathtaking beauty.

But at this time, the beauty was half squatting, hugging herself alone, her eyes full of sadness.
