Chapter 244 - 224 White Dragon Temple
Jian Jia is a notorious outlaw on the list, with the nine sects heavily guarded, making it impossible to enter the city, let alone fly before the imperial court. The two of them had to race around the outer city walls, from South City to North City and then to West City, arriving at White Dragon Temple by the Chou Hour (1 to 3 AM).
Fortunately, at this hour, ordinary people are still drowsy, cultivators are engaged in breathing control and Dual Cultivation, and the guards are at their most relaxed. Only a few monks were awake, chanting and doing morning lessons. Seizing the opportunity, Tie Dan entered the temple and, following his senses, managed to find him.
Monk Hu was indeed conspicuous, wearing a black robe with coiled mustaches, standing nine feet tall, with a lean and slender build, resembling an erect hemp stalk, very noticeable among the group of hunched old monks. After washing in the temple’s clear pool, he was returning alone to his courtyard, just happened to be alone.
The two exchanged glances; having cooperated many times, Tie Dan’s look was easy to understand. Jian Jia interpreted it as her cue to attack first. Though difficult in many respects, she was exceptionally swift when it came to combat, never hesitating. She drew her bow and fired a bullet, with a bang, a golden pill shot out like a shooting star striking the moon, aimed straight at the monk’s skull.
A cracking "snap!" was heard next, visibly sinking the back of the monk’s head, breaking open with blood gushing out, brain matter splattered, and he collapsed silently to the ground.
The two of them stayed silent for a moment, Jian Jia gave a look as if to ask what to do now.
Tie Dan indicated not to rush, watch him play dead.
After waiting for a while, faint voices started to emerge.
Jian Jia signaled people were coming.
Tie Dan signaled to continue.
