Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 271 Imprisoned

Yue Lan looked at Xu Yao and said with a smile, "Brother Xu Yao, there's really no other reason why we invited you to our Yue Lan Sect this time."

"I heard someone say that the Crimson Peak Sword was in your possession. Was it real or fake?"

Xu Yaocai nodded: "Yes, the Chifeng Sword is in my hands."

"Oh?" Yue Lan looked at Xu Yao with some surprise and said, "Young brother, is the Crimson Peak Sword really in your hands?"

"If it really is in your possession, then could you let me see this Crimson Peak Sword?"

Xu Yao nodded, summoned the Crimson Peak Sword, and then displayed it in front of Yue Lan.

Upon seeing that it truly was the Crimson Peak Sword, Yue Lan excitedly asked, "Young brother, how did you obtain this divine sword?"

"This divine sword is from ancient times. It was somehow taken away by Feng Yuelan back then, and now it has appeared in your hands."

"Brother Xu Yao, could you tell me something?" Yue Lan asked, looking at the Chifeng Sword.

Xu Yao naturally saw greed in Yue Lan's eyes, but it didn't matter to him at all.

Although Xu Yao might not be able to defeat Yue Lan, he should still be able to protect himself.

Since Yue Lan wants to know, we'll just tell him. That's the gist of the matter.

As for other things, those are not things Xu Yao needs to consider.

Xu Yao then said to Yue Lan, "This Chifeng Sword is because I killed Feng Yuelan."

"What!" Yue Lan looked at Xu Yao in surprise after hearing his words and said, "You mean you killed Feng Yuelan?"

"Young Brother Xu Yao, you can't lie about what you're saying. If you say something wrong, I'm afraid you'll..."

“I am not lying. I killed Feng Yuelan. Not only did I kill her, but I killed her because of this.”

"Now I can tell you clearly, Sect Master Yue Lan, that Feng Yue Lan also committed many evils back then, even poisoning her adopted daughter, Yan Feng, the head of Yan Feng Pavilion."

"Later, Yan Feng was killed, so I killed Feng Yuelan to avenge Pavilion Master Yan Feng, which is why things are like this now."

"In short, Sect Master Yue Lan won't say much more about other matters, but at least you know the truth about this matter, which is good enough," Xu Yao said.

Yue Lan then said directly, "Since the Crimson Peak Sword is in your hands, then Feng Yuelan will naturally die at your hands."

“But Brother Xu Yao, do you know what my relationship is with Feng Yuelan?” Yue Lan said.

Xu Yaocai sneered: "I said, Sect Master Yue Lan, I saw the greed in your eyes just now. If you want the Crimson Peak Sword, just say so."

"Why are you bringing up Feng Yuelan? When Feng Yuelan got into trouble, I didn't see anyone from your Yue Lan Sect come out to help."

"Don't tell me he's your benefactor or your best friend or anything like that. Otherwise, he's no better than your drinking buddies," Xu Yao said.

"Hmph, I think you don't know what it means to not shed tears until you see the coffin. Now that you've come to my Yue Lan Sect..."

"Either leave this Crimson Peak Sword behind, or die here. You choose," Yue Lan said.

Xu Yao laughed and said, "You think I'm stupid for not choosing anything? What's there to say about this?"

"In short, Yue Lan, if you want my Crimson Peak Sword, then take my life. But even if you defeat me, it won't matter."

“If I don’t take out the Crimson Peak Sword, then the Crimson Peak Sword has already signed a contract with my blood essence.”

"I guarantee you'll get something else for yourself. It's up to you. You're not getting the Crimson Peak Sword," Xu Yao said cheerfully.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Yue Lan angrily retorted, "Fine, then don't blame this sect leader."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yue Lan launched a powerful attack.

Xu Yao was already prepared, but under these circumstances, he naturally knew what he had to do.

Putting everything else aside, Xu Yao now knows that Yue Lan's strength is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So, in just a few moves, Xu Yao was defeated by Yue Lan.

Then he was taken away by the disciples of Yue Lanzong.

Seeing Xu Yao's reaction, Yue Lan laughed and said, "I won't kill you yet, you can go to the jail first."

“I will naturally be useful in the future,” Yue Lan said to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao knew he was no match for Yue Lan, so his capture was inevitable.

But now is not the time to resist. The next step is to find a way to send a message to Han Yi and ask him to come and rescue me.

So Xu Yao didn't say much, and simply followed the Yue Lanzong disciples directly to the prison.

After Xu Yao was imprisoned in the Yue Lan Sect's dungeon, Yue Lan's subordinates then addressed Yue Lan, saying, "Sect Master."

"Are we just going to let this kid go like that? This time, Senior Feng will die at his hands. What if we let him go?"

“There’s no problem. After all, Feng Yuelan and I are sworn brothers. To be honest, if he dies, he’s gone.”

"This kid is not bad, he has some talent. He actually managed to kill Feng Yuelan at such a young age, which I did not expect."

"Honestly, if this kid were willing to do me a favor, I might let him go," Yue Lan said.

The subordinates didn't say much; since the sect leader had already spoken, what else could they say?

After Xu Yao was imprisoned, he began to try to find a way to send the message out.

For Xu Yao now, the only way to figure it out is the one he and Han Yi had discussed back then.

If any problems arise, he will give away the Illusionary Butterfly he has.

This illusionary butterfly was a special tool Han Yi used to send messages to Xu Yao; it could be said that this was its very nature.

The Joyful Transformation Butterfly is a very small butterfly. Because of its small size, it can record the words of people in need of help and bring them back with it.

Therefore, it can be said to be the secret weapon of the Assassin's Guild or even the intelligence station, and naturally only Han Yi and Xu Yao know about these things.

After releasing the illusionary butterfly, Xu Yao told it his location and the help he needed.

The transformed butterfly then disappeared into the prison.

Seeing that the Illusionary Butterfly had already returned to the Assassin's Pavilion, Xu Yao was finally able to relax completely.

After all, it's obvious that if Xu Yao hadn't come up with a quick and clever idea, he certainly wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.
