Mo Yunzhao watched indifferently, his footsteps slightly shifting.

The burly man with the bushy beard looked on and immediately shouted, "Don't move! I know you have sorcery. I've doused these hostages with diesel fuel, and besides the baby, I've also given them poison."

Upon hearing this, the baby's mother rolled her eyes and fainted.

The other family members cried out in despair, kneeling beside Mo Yunzhao, kowtowing, and begging her to save them.

Mo Yunzhao remained indifferent and raised his voice, "Mo Bici, come out and talk to me. There's no point in hiding in the back."

The burly man with the thick beard stubbornly insisted, "I don't know who you're talking about. Quickly agree to my demands, and now you must cripple your own legs, gouge out your eyes, and disfigure your face before I'll release them. Otherwise..."

"Then let's kill him," Mo Yunzhao replied calmly.

Those who were still kneeling and kowtowing for help were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked up at Mo Yunzhao in disbelief.

The burly man with the bushy beard was also taken aback by the unexpected answer.

In that moment of confusion, the little beggar lowered his head and bit his wrist hard.

The burly man with the bushy beard cried out in pain, and the little beggar took the opportunity to duck and run away.

"Go to hell, you little bastard." The burly man with the bushy beard reached out to grab him, but missed, and kicked him instead.

The abandoned city gate tower has fallen into disrepair over the years.

The little beggar was kicked, causing a section of the city wall to collapse, and his small body fell off the city wall.

Seeing this, Mo Yunzhao immediately lightly touched his toes, leaped out, and went to catch the little beggar.

The burly man with a thick beard's eyes turned red. "Kill the hostage!"

Another series of desperate wails erupted from both the city tower and its surroundings.

Mo Yunzhao looked up, a drop of blood from his fingertip flicked out, the faint scent of blood mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms filling the air.

The raised machetes, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, all froze in mid-air.

But the baby was thrown off the city wall.

"Big White".

The giant white dog let out a low growl, suddenly spread its wings, and pounced on the baby.

The baby's mother, who had just woken up, saw the giant white dog lunging at her with its gaping maw. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

In that instant, the big white tiger caught the baby with its fluffy, broad back, preventing him from rolling off. It then folded its wings over its back, and its body fell heavily to the ground.

A cloud of dust rose up.

In that instant, Mo Yunzhao caught the little beggar, then used the momentum to leap onto the city wall and put the little beggar down.

Her figure was like a shadow, and in everyone's eyes, she was like a flash of light.

Their eyes couldn't follow the beam of light; they only heard a series of banging sounds.

But when they saw Mo Yunzhao's figure, those people collapsed to the ground.

The hostages were rescued.

Mo Yunzhao helped the pregnant woman up, "Are you alright?"

The pregnant woman gripped her hand tightly, her face pale and covered in cold sweat. "I'm about to give birth."

Just as Mo Yunzhao was about to lead her down the city wall, Mo Bici emerged from the shadows.

She stared at Mo Yunzhao with eyes full of malice and resentment.

"Mo Yunzhao, what good is it if you save them now? If the antidote isn't available within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they'll still die."

The pregnant woman clung to Mo Yunzhao's hand pleadingly, "Save me, save my child."

Mo Yunzhao looked up at her. "So?"

Mo Bici gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Do as I say. Take off all your clothes now, then gouge out your own eyes, ruin your face, and then cut off your own legs."

She wanted to repay Mo Yunzhao twice for the suffering she had endured.

Mo Yunzhao tilted his head slightly, looking at her as if she were mentally challenged, "Do you think I would agree?"
