Chapter 256: Chapter 254: Peach Blossom Forest, the Blood-handed Butcher’s Backer? Lu Ye Arrives

She intended to use her authority to bring the most challenging tasks of the Ten-Star Mission forward!

This should dampen his arrogant spirit!

Among the Ten-Star Missions, even Red Cloud Fairy herself found the most difficult ones extremely troublesome.

For example, going to the Black Tide Forbidden Land to find a plant known as the "Thousand-Year Flame Flower"...

Or, for instance, traveling to another forbidden land in the Northern Territory to obtain the cub of the Black-winged Double-winged Tiger King unharmed...

Even though Red Cloud Fairy had entered the Black Tide Forbidden Land several times, she only reached the edge of the inner region and dared not venture deeper.

And as for the Thousand-Year Flame Flower... it was located deep within the forbidden land!

As for the Black-winged Double-winged Tiger King, it was an overlord-level fierce beast in the Broken Soul Forbidden Land!

Years ago, Red Cloud Fairy received news that the Tiger King... was nearly comparable to a Mortal Realm Grandmaster!

It’s just that these fierce beasts rarely leave the forbidden land, so they are not widely known to the world.

...

Lu Ye naturally did not know that he had taken on a Ten-Star Mission, forcing Red Cloud Fairy to use her authority.

At this moment, he had already arrived at a hillside not far from Shuanghe County.

Outside Shuanghe County, two rivers flowed by, hence the name. The county housed roughly hundreds of thousands of people, both mortals and cultivators living together.

According to intelligence, a week ago, the Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong had appeared outside Shuanghe County.

Thinking for a moment, Lu Ye chose not to wear black clothes, instead using a disguised appearance to enter Shuanghe County.

It took him nearly half an hour and some silver, but in the county, Lu Ye finally obtained more useful information.

The Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong had indeed appeared in Shuanghe County, but he never stayed long.

About twenty miles from Shuanghe County, there was another place called Peach Blossom Forest...

Pang Xiong appeared there more frequently.

"Peach Blossom Forest?"

Hearing this information from the skinny informant in front of him, Lu Ye felt a bit puzzled.

"Hehe, friend, the Peach Blossom Forest is a great place!" Speaking of it, the skinny man almost had a gleam in his eyes.

"It’s said to be the largest Joyful Valley within a thousand miles!" The skinny man gave a knowing look and said, "As long as you have enough silver, in Peach Blossom Forest, there’s nothing you dare not imagine, and nothing they dare not do."

"The Blood-handed Butcher Pang Xiong is a frequent visitor there. Although he looks a bit intimidating, he’s generous with his money, and many girls like him."

Hearing this, Lu Ye understood that Peach Blossom Forest, with such an artistic name, was something other than a place for flower viewing.

It turned out to be a gold-squandering den. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye nodded and said, "Alright, thank you."

"No need to thank me. Since you gave me a couple of silver, I have to tell you everything I know." The skinny man looked Lu Ye up and down and asked.

"You wouldn’t be looking to cause trouble for Pang Xiong, would you? For the sake of the silver, I advise you not to offend him; there is someone backing Pang Xiong!"

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "Explain."

Upon seeing this, the skinny man gave a shy smile and rubbed his hands together: "Sir... this will cost an extra half silver."

Lu Ye smiled faintly. He had millions of silver in his hands, although not enough for the ten-billion-point designated draw, so he could only open the Myriad Dao Pavilion random draw.

But buying a few pieces of intelligence... he could spend it for a hundred years without running out.

After giving him half a silver, the skinny man continued, "I accidentally learned about this news. I heard Pang Xiong... has recently gotten involved with the Three Yin Sect!"

"You should know about the Three Yin Sect, right?" the skinny man asked.

Lu Ye nodded.

Stuffing the half silver into his sleeve, the skinny man swallowed: "I heard Pang Xiong has hooked up with a big shot in the Three Yin Sect! The Three Yin Saint Son!"

"He’s one of the top figures among the younger generation in the Northern Territory! Sir, is this information powerful enough? I didn’t earn this half silver in vain, right?"

Lu Ye: "..."

Three Yin Sect... Saint Son?

This name, he hadn’t heard it in a while.

With a hint of a playful smile on his lips, Lu Ye said, "Worth the cost. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. I’ll find you if I need anything next time."

...

Peach Blossom Forest.

This stretch of forest spanning several dozen miles was, as its name implied, filled with peach trees.

It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the forest was a sea of pink, with the fragrance of flowers wafting everywhere.

Coupled with the pink lanterns hanging around and the faint scent of rouge that wafted out intermittently... it almost made one stand up with respect.

When Lu Ye arrived, it was already nearing evening.

Under the dim sky, the Peach Blossom Forest was bustling with activity, full of people coming and going.

"Such a clever trick..."

Standing in front of the Peach Blossom Forest, smelling the faint fragrance from the forest, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

The fragrance contained a very subtle hint of aphrodisiac.

This small amount wasn’t enough to set someone ablaze with desire, but it effectively stirred deep-seated desires unknowingly.

And once emotions surged... naturally, one would do what they should.

Lu Ye’s heart tightened, unsure of who was behind this Peach Blossom Forest. These subtle tricks were hidden but effective.

Just as he walked into the forest, an old madam came up to him with a smiling face.

"Oh, guest, you’ve arrived. Come, come, come, are you here to drink, listen to some tunes and chat, or... do business?"

Coming to the Peach Blossom Forest was mostly for these two reasons: some wanted to savor foreplay and move to the next step with the right atmosphere.

Others... didn’t want to waste any time, although the atmosphere might not be as comfortable.

Lu Ye changed his tone slightly and said in a deep voice, "Bring a pot of wine, let’s chat."

"Alrighty, please this way, dear guest."

The clearing in the forest was dotted with stone tables and benches of all sizes, which looked quite charming against the backdrop of peach blossoms.

Unlike ordinary pleasure houses, it was indeed a unique place, no wonder it was well-known far and wide.

With a casual toss of a few bits of silver, Lu Ye tipped the madam.

Soon, a woman in a flowered dress came up to Lu Ye, smiling.

"This girl is Yue’Er, greetings to the gentleman; may I know what I should call you?"

Just as Lu Ye was about to speak, he noticed several figures entering the Peach Blossom Forest from outside as the night fully fell.

Among them, one had a rugged look, carrying a hint of bloodlust, clearly not someone easy to deal with.

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up, not expecting to encounter the main target so soon after sitting down, worth 150,000 points!

The man was none other than Pang Xiong, the Red Cloud Sect’s target for the Ten-Star Mission!

In front of Pang Xiong was another figure—the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, whom he had seen twice before.

At this moment, Pang Xiong, following behind the Three Yin Sect Saint Son, showed a flattering smile on his beefy face.

After years of going at it alone, Pang Xiong deeply understood.

Having someone backing you was extremely important.
