Chapter 287 Demonic Attack

The manager saw the three people coming and stepped forward to greet Wen Anche.

"Don't worry about us, just keep busy."

"Yes, young master."

The manager looked at Nan Xiao and the other two behind him and left without saying anything.

Wen Anche found an open space and watched with the two of them for a while.

Nan Xiao noticed a vague gaze that drifted towards her from time to time. After looking around, she found that it was Wen Anche.

She probably didn't do anything, right? Why was she being targeted?

In just a short while, she went over the matter in her mind and roughly understood it.

This is because the timing of their appearance that night was too coincidental and they were also suspected, so they came to test their skills yesterday, not to really ask them for clues.

Since he agreed so readily today, the other party must be trying to test him.

Isn’t this a coincidence? It’s like solving a problem: the process is wrong, but the answer is right.

Outrageous.

She looked normal, her eyes sweeping through the crowd inconspicuously. They looked normal.

Nan Xiao couldn't help but wonder inwardly, was it because the person was not here, or was it because his ability to hide himself had improved?

Especially now that Wen Anche is still staring at them, it's really difficult to deal with.

Nan Xiao sighed!

Hearing her sigh, Su Xun looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Anche also looked over.

Nan Xiao's eyebrows drooped as she made up an excuse: "It's nothing. I just overestimated myself and thought I could help. Now it seems I was overthinking it."

"I didn't find anything. It was a shock."

A large hand gently rested on her head, and Su Xun's bright, smiling voice rang in her ears: "Young Master Wen and the others have been searching for so many days without any clues. How could they have discovered something just as you arrived? This isn't something you should worry about. Just let it happen naturally."

Wen Anche also smiled and said, "Senior Brother Su is right. This thief is cunning. If he were really that easy to catch, it wouldn't have dragged on until now."

Nan Xiao nodded in agreement.

After a few people talked for a while, everyone had passed the test of the Heart-Questioning Pearl and was on their way back.

There was nothing to find, and Nan Xiao didn't want to stay for long.

She said, "Brother, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Okay," Su Xun bowed to Wen Anche, "Young Master Wen, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you and took up a lot of your time."

"You two are willing to help me, so how can you be wasting time?" He walked in front to lead the way, intending to send people out personally.

He had to make sure that these two people had not left his sight since entering the mansion.

The path Wen Anche and Su Xun were taking was not the same as the servants'. Coincidentally, they met at an intersection. The servants pulled over in unison to make way for Wen Anche and the other two.

Just as the three of them were halfway there, the previously calm and orderly procession of servants suddenly erupted into chaos for some unknown reason. Like a colony of disturbed ants, starting with no one, the entire group of servants instantly went into a state of panic, stumbling about in all directions.

"Be careful!" Nan Xiao blurted out at the sight. Since they were so close, she was quick to reach out and grab the arm of a servant who was falling backwards beside her. With a strong tug, she held the man steady.

Seeing the servants in a mess, Wen Anche's gentle smile became a little stiff.

He asked coldly, "What's going on?"

The servants immediately knelt down in a heap.

The steward heard the noise and ran over. Looking at the servants kneeling on the ground, he was a little confused for a moment.

"Young Master, what happened?"

Wen Anche: "There was a little confusion just now. Pull these people away for another interrogation. Be sure to be more careful."

"yes."

Wen Anche said to Su Xun, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two."

After he sent the two out of the house, he felt more and more that what had just happened was too coincidental.

Wen Anche found the steward and asked, "Did you find out anything?"

The steward replied: "Master, everyone has been checked, this should be just an accident."

"That intersection is near the bushes, and there are insects and snakes that appear from time to time. An elderly woman suddenly saw a snake crawling around and was frightened and panicked, which caused the chaos."

Wen Anche pinched his eyebrows, feeling a little annoyed.

"Keep a close eye on it."

…

At night, everything is quiet.

In a remote corner of the City Lord's Mansion, a young man was staring blankly at the talisman in his hand.

This was left behind by Nan Xiao during the chaos of the day.

Did she recognize him again?

Mingcheng touched his face and felt a little self-doubt. Was his disguise so bad?

However, this talisman arrived at the right time, and he didn't have much time left.

…

Nan Xiao returned to the yard, but instead of entering the space to practice as usual, he sat in the room, looking through the window from time to time towards the City Lord's Mansion.

There was no movement in the City Lord's Mansion, but an accident happened at the city gate.

Flames shot up into the sky like a wildly dancing tongue of fire, illuminating most of Anyang City and stinging the eyes. Thick smoke, carrying a pungent odor, quickly spread.

A disciple stumbled and ran frantically towards the city, his face panicking, shouting at the top of his lungs: "The demons are attacking!"

It woke up many people.

Nan Xiao hurried out of the yard and reunited with Su Xun, Jiangxia and others.

"Third Junior Brother and Little Junior Brother are still at the city gate! Fourth Junior Brother and I will go to provide support. Little Junior Sister, you stay here and prepare some extra pills, just in case!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xia and Su Xun had disappeared.

Nan Xiao rushed to the alchemy room, but didn't see Zhuo Hua. He probably went to the city gate to help.

Nan Xiao took out all the pills he had prepared earlier and filled several tables with them.

"Senior Sister Jian, please use these first. I want to go to the city gate to check the situation first."

Jian Mo refused: "Bring the pills, and we'll go together."

"The demons are clearly launching a surprise attack, and many people will be injured. This place is not close to the city gate, and going back and forth will take too much time. I'm afraid some people won't be able to hold on."

"good."

Nan Xiao put the pills away again and left only a few disciples in the alchemy room. The others were taken away by Jian Mo.

Young disciple: "Senior Sister Jian, Senior Sister Nan, why are you here? This place is too dangerous."

But in a flash, many disciples were injured. Blood spread on the ground, and groans of pain echoed one after another.

Jian Mo frowned and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! I've brought medicine! Hurry and bring the seriously injured brothers and sisters over here first!"

As she spoke, she and other people began to build a simple tent in the open space.

The young disciple did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to the elder.

The elder frowned, his gaze sweeping towards the injured disciple: "Listen to her! These are all disciples from our sect. We must save as many as we can. We can't give up!"

After a while, many injured disciples were sent over, and the makeshift tents could not accommodate so many people.

Jian Mo made arrangements based on the severity of their injuries.

The lightly injured disciples received some medicine and went back to continue fighting.
