In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
Wuchen's words instantly brought Feng Piaopiao back to her senses.
Yes, is now the time to argue?
Although he felt in his heart that with Liu Yunqing's abilities, nothing would happen to her.
Upon hearing Wuchen mention the people from the sect, Feng Piaopiao quickly sent a communication talisman. After receiving a reply, her expression immediately relaxed.
"They'll be here soon. Let's go to the city lord's mansion first."
With Feng Piaopiao's words, everyone felt a little relieved. Wuchen didn't even wait for Feng Piaopiao to finish speaking before he flew towards the city lord's mansion.
Zhuo Ying and Feng Piaopiao followed closely behind, while Ruan Qing was at the very back. When she saw that the other three were almost out of sight, she exclaimed "Oh dear!" and stamped her foot to catch up.
This time, Wuchen did not suppress his cultivation level and unleashed his full Golden Core aura.
Before the innkeeper could even utter a word of protest, the group had already vanished without a trace.
As soon as the group arrived outside the backyard of the city lord's mansion, the city lord of Biyue, who was guarding inside the colorful stone, already sensed their presence with his divine sense.
He had been waiting anxiously, even uncertain whether the thief was still there, but upon seeing this scene, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Little bug, it seems you're not only quite capable, but also quite popular!"
"Your friend is here to rescue you."
Liu Yunqing was just wondering what method she could use to temporarily distract that person when she heard this, and her eyes lit up.
But this small place is isolated from the outside world. How can messages be transmitted?
Liu Yunqing thought for a moment, then closed her eyes. After her emotions had completely calmed down, she focused her attention on finding the Soul-Stealing Stream and the drop of blood that Wuchen had placed between her eyebrows.
Liu Yunqing only tried it out of curiosity, but unexpectedly she actually found it.
But it wasn't about finding that drop of blood; it was about finding that burning sensation between her eyebrows back then.
Sure enough, the next moment Wuchen's voice rang out from afar:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru? How are you?"
Liu Yunqing quickly focused her attention and responded mentally:
"Don't come in. I suspect the Lord of Biyue City is hiding his strength."
"You guys figure out a way to create chaos in the city, I need some time."
Upon hearing this, Wuchen stopped the people who were about to enter the manor and told them about Liu Yunqing's situation.
"Is that really true? What did she say to you? How were you able to contact her?"
Feng Piaopiao and the others stopped as instructed, but he was very puzzled as to why Wuchen was able to contact Liu Yunqing when no one else could.
Wuchen didn't explain further, but simply smiled and said:
"Although Zhenru won't let us in, she needs our help. Let's get to work first."
After saying that, he turned and left with the others.
Meanwhile, the Lord of Azure Water City, who was waiting inside the colorful stones, was poised to launch his attack, only to find that his opponent had actually run away.
"What happened? Why did they leave?"
Could it be that these people aren't in cahoots with the petty thieves?
Or do they have some special skill that allows them to contact that petty thief?
That's impossible.
The Lord of Azure Water City was quite confident about the isolation of that small space below.
This made him even more suspicious that the group of people outside might actually be another group.
Of course, it's also possible that it was a pre-arranged plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Thinking this, the Lord of Biyue City, who had originally intended to chase after them and kill them all, sat back down on the futon.
Before the Lord of Biyue City could even settle in, a commotion arose in the city, and outside the main courtyard of the Lord's mansion, someone was requesting an audience.
The Lord of Biyue City frowned, even more certain that they were using a diversionary tactic, and immediately sat even more firmly.
However, the situation in the city could not be ignored. Thinking that the person down there couldn't escape anyway, he sent his divine sense to the main courtyard to find out the situation from the people who came to see the city lord.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal; a few instructions were given and the matter was resolved.
Clearly, this chaos is not the end, but the beginning.
No sooner had he given the order than another person came to request an audience. The Lord of Biyue City had not yet withdrawn his divine sense.
One after another, until a control array in the storage ring of the Azure Water City Lord moved, followed by a flash of a cultivator's aura. Only then did the Azure Water City Lord's expression change drastically, realizing that he had been tricked.
"You brat!"
When the Lord of Biyue City descended into the small space, he saw that the weakest point of the formation had been dug out at some unknown time, and he was so angry that he cursed loudly.
Alright, now that the person has run away, there's no use for the Lord of Biyue City to stay here.
He immediately slipped away and located the troublemakers in the city.
He refused to believe that there was anyone in his Biyue City whom he couldn't control!
Yes, there really is.
The Lord of Biyue City had made up his mind that whoever those people were, he intended to capture and kill them.
Anyway, the dead can't talk. As long as no one sees that he killed him, even if that person has some power behind him, no one will dare to do anything to him.
No matter what, he was a member of the Shangqing Sect.
Even if a disciple of the Shangqing Sect isn't a true disciple, not just anyone can cause trouble for them.
Besides, what kind of influential figures could possibly emerge from such a poor and remote place as Biyue City?
However, when the Lord of Biyue City saw the person standing in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
"Elder Mo?"
Before the Lord of Azure Water City could even retract his ferocious expression, he saw his attack being instantly blocked.
A look of panic flashed across his ferocious expression, making his face appear somewhat distorted for a moment.
However, the Lord of Biyue City quickly composed himself, bowed respectfully, and exchanged pleasantries with Elder Mo:
"Elder Mo, I don't know what wind blew you to Biyue City."
Elder Mo was a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a slender build.
His eyes swept over the Lord of Biyue City, and the Lord felt a chill run down his spine, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.
However, Elder Mo did not say anything, but simply stepped aside to let people see, and said in a calm voice:
"A disciple from the sect has reported that there are evil cultivators lurking in Biyue City. Please cooperate with the investigation."
The Lord of Azure Water City's face contorted for a moment, his head drooping even lower, his voice submissive:
"yes."
After speaking, the Lord of Azure Water City looked up at the two Golden Core cultivators standing behind Elder Mo, then glanced at Feng Piaopiao and the others who were being protected to the side, and continued:
"So you're all from the same sect?"
"There was a misunderstanding earlier. The manor has prepared a banquet. I would like to ask my junior brothers and sisters to join me as an apology and to welcome the elders and deacons."
With Liu Yunqing absent, Feng Piaopiao and the others subconsciously looked at Wuchen. Seeing Wuchen nod, they nodded as well.
The arrival of Elder Mo surprised not only the Lord of Biyue City, but also Feng Piaopiao.
However, he wasn't familiar with Elder Mo, so he only exchanged pleasantries before walking aside and pulling over one of the short, stout Golden Core cultivators to ask him via telepathy:
"Senior Brother Gao, why is Elder Mo here too?"
Deacon Gao grinned, looking like a Maitreya Buddha, and replied:
"What a coincidence."
“When you sent the message urging us to hurry up, we guessed that the situation might be serious, so we sent a message to the sect requesting that more people be sent.”
"It just so happens that Elder Mo was traveling nearby, so it couldn't be more perfect."
Feng Piaopiao said "Oh" and turned to look at Elder Mo, only to find that the other party was looking at her with a kind expression.
Seeing this, Feng Piaopiao could only return a polite smile, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly spoke up:
"Junior Brother Feng, are these all your friends? Did you come out on a training trip together?"
