Heaven Road
5. The East Star City 9

Wastage... That was what Yin Sheng said when he first saw the party decorations at the Mayor's residence. Flaming pendant ornamental trinkets, fresh flowers imported from the surrounding village, pendants, not to mention the colorful glowing stones that Yin Sheng believed were made from stalagmites that were usually present in the caves.

"Mr Yin... I hope your plan works..." Mayor Dong Liu greeted Yin Sheng who had just come out of the room reserved for Yin Sheng and Song Huang.

"We just hope the culprit will come. If not..." Yin Sheng did not continue his words, afraid of disappointing Mayor Dong Liu.

"I've already sent an invitation to the Xue Family, hopefully the culprit will show up."

Yin Sheng did not respond to Mayor Dong Liu's words, preferring to think about what to do when the perpetrator appeared. Killing him directly or accusing him in public is also not a wise choice. The only possible way is to kidnap her secretly and force her to confess.

But kidnapping a Knight Realm realm Cultivator was certainly not easy either. Even though Yin Sheng had Azhura's eyes and expertise in poison, he was unwilling to even face a Knight Realm realm cultivator one-on-one. Yin Sheng's only option was to rely on Song Huang's help, as Chang Ming would naturally be more preoccupied in protecting Mayor Dong Liu.

"I hope Senior Huang is willing to extend his hand tonight." Said Yin Sheng who was now staring at the invited guests who had started coming from the second floor.

"Brother Yin don't be too shy, as long as I can help out for sure I will help Brother Yin." Song Huang replied. Although Song Huang actually had a sense of selflessness in helping Yin Sheng. Mayor Dong Liu is a rich man, he and Yin Sheng will definitely get a big reward if they manage to catch the perpetrator.

The horse-drawn carriage began to arrive one by one, the party held by the Mayor was not only used as a celebration of the health of the Mayor's Princess. But the event was also used as a show by prominent families in the eastern Star City. Not a few invited guests who arrogantly showed off a luxurious horse carriage with a few bodyguards, although the distance they traveled was not far.

"It looks like Mr. Dong Liu didn't just invite an important family." Among the entourage that came Yin Sheng could see the Cultivators. From the energy contained within his body, Yin Sheng could tell if the cultivation level he possessed was at the realm of the Knight Realm and above.

"There are several sects inhabiting around the Eastern Star City region. Although the sects were not very big, but their sect head was also classified as strong people." Replied Song Huang who knew little about anyone who had come.

"Did Brother Yin have found the person?" Song Huang.

Yin Sheng did not answer Song Huang's question and just shook his head, he remained focused on finding the whereabouts of the culprit from where he stood.

"Xue's family and entourage are coming..." Shouted the gatekeeper of the entrance. A luxurious carriage with seven horsemen was seen stopping in front of the entrance. From inside the most luxurious carriage of which there was, came two people dressed elegantly. One man appeared to be fifty years old who was none other than Xue Lian, another twenty-year-old man who was Xue Bohai.

The arrival of the two men immediately received a welcome from the Mayor and invited guests who came. The Xue Family was the largest and most famous family in the Eastern Star City, so it was only natural that his arrival would invite attention.

"Mayor Dong Liu... Congratulations on your daughter's recovery... This is a hundred year old water Ginseng, hopefully this water Ginseng can make your Daughter more healthy." Xue Lian handed him a wooden box containing water Ginseng. All of the invited guests were immediately amazed by the gift given by Xue Lian.

Hundreds of years of water ginseng is extremely rare. No one would want to sell such a hundred-year-old herbal plant. If anyone sells, the price will be sky high. Seeing such an item being made a gift by the Xue Family, naturally all the invited guests thought how rich the Xue Family was.

"Seniors..." Yin Sheng who was looking at Xue Bohai instantly gave a sign to Song Huang who was by his side. Yin Sheng did not point, but pointed his head towards Xue Bohai.

"Is that it?" Song Huang asked, followed by a nod of his head from Yin Sheng.

"We'll watch first... If possible we kidnap him in the middle of the show. Otherwise we'll have to kidnap her on the street when she gets home." Song Huang.

"Mayor Dong Liu, why isn't your Princess out yet?" Xue Bohai who had been looking for the whereabouts of the Mayor's daughter finally asked the Host.

"Ah... About it... My daughter was still not too strong to move much, so she decided not to get down from her room. I hope Mr. Bohai is not offended by this." Mayor Dong Liu said trying to find an excuse.

"Daradly so... Though I have a special gift for your Princess..." Xue Bohai displayed a face full of disappointment, yet in her heart was filled with suspicion.

Xue Bohai brought a puppet that interceded with the spirit that was inside the body of the Mayor's Princess. Xue Bohai was very sure, the spirit was still connected to the puppet she was carrying. Xue Bohai was just not sure, the spirit was still inside the body of the Mayor's Princess - or had already been transferred to another body.

And that's why he came to this place. If the Mayor's daughter still lies unconscious, then she will release the spirit. Xue Bohai will also be considered the savior of the Mayor's Princess. Xue Bohai was very confident, the heart of the Mayor's Princess would melt by itself and would accept her love if she knew Xie Bohai who had saved her.

One of the servants came to Mayor Dong Liu, whispering a few words. The Mayor's expression changed when he heard the waiter's whisper. Confused, sad, but angry. But the expression disappeared with a moment, changing with a calmness that regained control of Mayor Dong Liu's mind.

"Mr Bohai... Looks like you're lucky, My Daughter delivered a message if she wants to meet you." Mayor Dong Liu explained.

"really?" Xue Bohai was not the least bit suspicious, she was instead happy to get the opportunity she was looking for.

"certain... The waiter just delivered a message from my daughter directly." Lying Mayor Dong Liu.

"alright... Let's not make Princess Dong Huian wait."

"Please take Mr. Bohai to Huian's room..." The mayor's orders to the waiter who brought the message.

"I'm sorry for not being able to accompany Mr. Bohai, many guests I have to accompany tonight..." Mayor Dong Liu patted Xue Bohai on the shoulder.

"There's no need to think about Mr. Dong... I know very well the complexity of being the number one person in this City."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Bohai. Please... Don't hesitate..." Mayor Dong Liu allowed Xue Bohai and herself to mingle with other invited guests.

While Xue Bohai followed the servant who was going to take her to the chamber of her heart.

"Please Mr... Miss Huian's room is at the end of the hall..." The waiter invited Xue Bohai to walk alone down the hallway on the second floor of Mayor Dong Liu's residence.

As if getting an understanding from the servant, Xue Bohai instead thought that everyone in this residence supported his plans tonight.

"He really loves me... Ahhaha..." Xue Bohai chuckled softly.

But Xue Bohai's smile and laughter disappeared while she was in the middle of the hallway. A thin fog suddenly surrounded him. The fog grew thicker in just a few seconds. Xue Bohai wanted to run out of the hallway but she realized too late. All the nerves in his body were unwilling to work according to his mind. Xue Bohai could only sit drooping on the floor. Trying to scream for help but his throat was not able to move.
