Chapter 414 Completely Unable to Resist
Jiang Liqian had considered that Xu Youan could break the Spirit-Seizing Array, but she never expected him to be able to do it so quickly!
At this speed, even the senior brother and his brothers probably can't catch up, right?
Xu Zisheng was quite curious about this young man who was proficient in formations. As soon as he saw Jiang Liqian, he quickly stepped forward and asked who Xu Youan was.
“My junior brother,” Jiang Liqian introduced, her eyes filled with a smugness and amusement that she herself did not realize. “His name is Xu Youan, and like me, he is a disciple of Zhenfeng.”
Xu Zisheng glanced at Jiang Liqian in surprise and muttered, "The difference between you two is too obvious, isn't it? You're his senior sister? I thought you were a sword cultivator or a magic cultivator!"
Jiang Li blushed slightly and quickly coughed loudly, warning Xu Zisheng not to say anything more.
Xu Zisheng had never seen Jiang Liqian act shy before, so he curiously leaned closer to her and looked at her very carefully. Jiang Liqian didn't know what he was looking at, so she didn't move.
But Xu Youan, who was standing next to them, had a very serious expression on his face.
He clenched his fists, wanting to punch Xu Zisheng in the eyes that dared to offend his senior sister, and then kick him away to warn him to stay away from his senior sister.
It would be best to gouge out his eyes and break his arms and legs...
But my senior sister is here.
The senior sister didn't move.
He dare not.
He didn't have the qualifications or the resources to gamble on whether his senior sister would be angry with him.
He could only stand there forlornly, like a despicable passerby spying on the laughter and joy of others, silently flowing through her world.
Xu Zisheng originally wanted to poke Jiang Liqian's face to see if the blush on her face was real, but firstly, he dared not provoke her, and secondly, he always felt a chill on one side of his shoulder, as if a strange wind was constantly drilling into his neck. He couldn't help but step back to the side and quickly rubbed his arm.
Hesitantly, he looked up at Xu Youan, whose eyes were covered by her hair.
Could it be... that it was all his imagination just now?
Why did he feel like this newly acquainted junior brother was about to kill him?
Haha, it's just an illusion, it must be an illusion!
“Now that the formation has been broken, Junior Brother, Xu Zisheng, you two rescue the survivors inside and arrange for them to stay at an inn. Also, protect their safety. I will stay here to destroy this altar and then join you.”
Given the urgency of the situation, Jiang Liqian suppressed any unnecessary expression on her face and decided that it would be best for them to split into two groups.
"Now that we have these rescued people and the skeletons here as witnesses, we should be able to persuade the sects outside the city to take action and rescue the people of Chang Le City. After you return to the inn, try to help Li Chuanlu and the others contact the sects outside."
"Senior sister wants to coordinate with them from the inside?" Xu Youan keenly grasped Jiang Liqian's thoughts.
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
“But we broke two of the city lord’s spirit-seizing arrays. He couldn’t possibly not have noticed. Perhaps as soon as we leave this desolate courtyard, we will be surrounded by his men,” Xu Youan said.
The essence of the Soul-Stealing Array is to plunder the life force of the person inside the array and transfer it elsewhere. Once the Soul-Stealing Array is broken, the life force is cut off.
Moreover, he felt that the city lord's mansion gave off a very strange feeling, and that the altar was likely just a decoy.
Jiang Liqian had also considered this point, so her idea was that she would escort them out of the city lord's mansion, and then she would turn back and destroy the altar.
Of course, she had considered destroying the altar now and leaving with them, but she was afraid that destroying the altar would cause too much of a commotion. Originally, Wang Mingzhi hadn't made any moves, but instead, he would become enraged and attack them because the altar was destroyed.
With so many unconscious and weak people still here, they probably have no chance of winning.
How could Xu Youan possibly agree to such a proposal!
"Senior sister, there are still so many people unconscious here. Do you think the two of us can take them all away?" he asked.
Jiang Liqian was taken aback: "Is there no way to wake them all up?"
Since it's just anger and the loss of spiritual power, as long as they recover their spiritual power, even if they are weak, they shouldn't be unable to wake up or walk.
Xu Youan told her with certainty, "They won't wake up anytime soon."
Jiang Liqian didn't expect that she had oversimplified things.
Originally, this night raid on the city lord's mansion was just to find some clues, but who would have thought they would find these survivors? They don't have enough manpower, this is really difficult!
"Why don't we stay here and not go out yet? Let that Li Chuanlu you mentioned contact the sect, and then we'll go out once they break through the city lord's mansion," Xu Zisheng suggested after thinking for a moment.
Jiang Li frowned slightly: "But it seems there's no way to contact the outside world from here..."
"Senior sister, go out and tell Li Chuanlu and the others at the inn that we will protect these people and wait for you to return," Xu Youan said.
"Can……"
"Senior sister, please trust us, okay?"
She certainly trusted Xu You'an. She wanted Xu You'an to go back while she stayed, since Wang Mingzhi could break in at any moment. However, before she could finish speaking, she felt that leaving the city lord's mansion now would probably be more dangerous than staying here, so it was better to let Xu You'an wait here.
So she didn't say anything more, nodded, told them to stay alert and be careful, and then quickly walked towards the exit of the deserted courtyard.
There were no servants or guards outside to stop her, and Jiang Liqian left the city lord's mansion without any trouble. Suspicion crossed her mind, but contacting the sect outside was the most important thing right now.
She returned to the inn as quickly as possible, but to her surprise, Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao had disappeared!
Missing, missing... Could it be that Wang Mingzhi kidnapped them?
"Qin Beiyao was supposed to be guarding outside, but when I opened the door, I didn't see him at all. He was gone!" Fang Wanning said, her face pale, her eyes red, and her voice trembling with tears.
Jiang Liqian told herself to stay calm. Even if Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao were really taken away by Wang Mingzhi, he couldn't possibly kill them immediately, otherwise he wouldn't have taken them away in the first place.
She was determined to find out exactly what had happened!
"Su Yanqing said that when they returned, they only found you lying unconscious on the ground. How did you faint? Did you see anything before you fainted? Was someone attacking you?"
Fang Wanning shook her head: "I didn't see anyone, I only... I only saw a mirror. I saw myself teaching new disciples swordsmanship in the mirror, and then I lost consciousness!"
She couldn't describe how she felt when she saw that strange mirror. If she had to describe it, it was as if her soul had been pulled out in an instant, and her whole life had lost its meaning in that moment!
“Those people who disappeared in the city, and my senior brothers and sisters, they…” Fang Wan Ning swallowed hard, trying her best to suppress the trembling in her voice and the fear in her heart, “They must have all been taken away by this mirror, really, really terrifying, there was no way to resist it…”
