Jiang Xiaobai had been flying around the city lord’s mansion for over half an hour, almost covering every area, yet he found no place related to a cage.
This left him somewhat helpless. How could he save people if he couldn’t even find them?
“Forget it, let’s go find that scoundrel Yuwen Tiancheng. Following him could lead to some discoveries,” he muttered to himself.
Thinking aloud, Jiang Xiaobai said, “Even if I can’t find the Qin Family, I might as well do something to make this guy sick.”
Immediately, he flew straight towards the study. Slipping through the crack of the door, he saw Yuwen Tiancheng deep in thought.
On the study desk lay an amended bounty notice. Just the one that had newly updated information.
Jiang Xiaobai spotted the bounty notice at a glance and began inwardly cursing.
“This cunning man. He’s so good at shirking responsibility,” He remarked.
Although Jiang Xiaobai himself had caused the current trouble, this did not stop some resentment from brewing within him.
Initially, Jiang Xiaobai just wanted to find members of the Qin Family through Yuwen Tiancheng, but upon seeing the bounty notice, his patience snapped. “If I don’t stir up some trouble, how can I justify my Earth Fiend 72 Changes?” Jiang Xiaobai sneered inside, then cautiously approached the bookshelf.
Even though Jiang Xiaobai might not be very skillful in poisoning, when it came to preparing poisonous pills, he had absolute confidence in himself.
Hiding on the bookshelf, Jiang Xiaobai found a rather hidden spot and scattered crushed poisonous pills there.
The poison wasn’t particularly strong, it was just enough to cause disruption to one’s flow of spiritual power.
Not only that, Jiang Xiaobai also sprinkled some colorless and odorless poison in several other places in the study. The effects couldn’t be lethal but were definitely nauseating.
Although he did possess abilities to kill Yuwen Tiancheng at this very moment, the crucial issue was that he had no idea of the whereabouts of the Qin Family members.
If Yuwen Tiancheng’s death caused his subordinates to destroy their “hostages”, everything would be over.
After sprinkling the poison, Jiang Xiaobai swallowed the antidote and sat quietly in the study, watching Yuwen Tiancheng.
Not long after, Yuwen Tiancheng suddenly opened his eyes as he was deep in
thought. Simultaneously his aura started chaotically fluctuating as his smoothly running spiritual power began roaring like a wild beast within his body.
Immediately, Yuwen Tiancheng stood up intending to go outside. However, because of his uncontrollable spiritual power, he stumbled causing the objects around him to tumble as well.
That was not all. As soon as he moved, he felt as if the ocean was turning over in his stomach, as if an unstoppable flood was trying to pour out of him.
At the same time, he was gasping for breath, with a sensation as if something was stuck in his throat, making it hard to breath. “Damn it, what’s happening?”
Yuwen Tiancheng gritted his teeth in anger, furious.
Under normal circumstances, such things wouldn’t have been possible. Something must be wrong!
Despite his best efforts to find the root of the problem, the urgent need to “relieve” himself not only disrupted his train of thought, but also made the fiercely surging spiritual power within him unbearable.
Splosh!
There was a soggy fart sound, and a stench instantly filled the study. Even the guards standing outside could easily smell it.
The guards nearly vomited on the spot.
With a loud bang, Yuwen Tiancheng, with a gloomy face, burst out of the study, stumbling along as he tried to escape the room, continually attempting to control his farting spasms.
His walk was so peculiar that it was almost comical.
“Damn it, damn it!”
Yuwen Tiancheng was livid, realizing that he’d been played, and furthermore, in the same manner as those who came back from the spirit stone vein yesterday.
Being the city lord with such high status, showing such an embarrassing side of himself was utterly humiliating.
What’s more infuriating was that the toilet was a distance away from the study!
Normally, it was a distance he could cover in a blink of an eye. But now, for Yuwen Tiancheng, it felt like a path of eternal agony.
In addition, the road was lined with guards and attendants staring flabbergasted at their lord’s spectacle, which only further fueled Yuwen Tiancheng’s anger.
His rage combined with his ceaselessly surging spiritual power caused him to vomit blood.
Steaming with anger and vomiting blood, he still couldn’t help but let out a fart.
The place turned deadly silent, and the faces of the surrounding guards and attendants turned green.
What a stink!
Yuwen Tiancheng’s face turned red. By now, maintaining his dignity was pointless. He abandoned all pretenses and ran desperately towards the toilet.
Running while releasing explosive diarrhea, the scene was simply indescribable.
Hiding in the toilet, Yuwen Tiancheng finally felt some relief. At the same time, his face was twisted in a hideous manner.
As he felt no need to maintain his dignity now and was free to let loose, he started to think.
All this had clearly been done by those who caused the trouble last night, the problem was, there were no clues!
“If someone managed to poison me, then they must be in the city lord’s mansion! ” Thinking this way, Yuwen Tiancheng felt enormously aggrieved.
His men were useless. How was it that someone broke into the city lord’s mansion and they didn’t even notice?
All his subordinates who had received the news gathered around the toilet. No one dared to come closer as the pungent odor was too strong to bear, stopping everyone in their tracks.
A beautiful woman covering her nose, with a pale face, grudgingly approached the toilet.
“The perpetrator is within the mansion, look for them, I want that bastard found!”
The roar of the infuriated Yuwen Tiancheng could be heard from inside the toilet.
The beautiful woman hurried out of the stinking radius as quickly as she could and, with a cold face, issued a command.
“You lot are useless, someone invaded the city lord’s mansion and you didn’t even notice, what’s the point of having you around?”
“Are you still not going to look for them?”
The entire city lord’s mansion was on high alert, every guard and attendant began their meticulous search to catch the intruder.
Little did they know, Jiang Xiaobai was hiding not far from the toilet, stuffing pieces of cloth into his nostrils.
He listened to the sounds coming from the toilet and the occasional angry roars but remained unmoved.
After intentionally tormenting Yuwen Tiancheng for some time, Jiang Xiaobai sprinkled the antidote at the door of the toilet. It wasn’t long before an ashen-faced Yuwen Tiancheng stumbled out.
The moment he saw Yuwen Tiancheng coming out, Jiang Xiaobai immediately took off and followed him. It didn’t take long for him to reach a place that seemed to be a storeroom.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai knew his plan had worked.
Yuwen Tiancheng must have thought about the possibility of someone coming to rescue the Qin Family after the incident, and he would definitely go and check the place where the Qin Family was being held.
As Yuwen Tiancheng walked in with a gloomy face, he pushed the room’s wall and a clicking sound echoed. A pitch-dark passage appeared before their eyes..
