In the center of the room stood Dongfang Mian and Wu Zining, flanked by more than a dozen young girls, each with a pale face and thin figure, supporting each other as they stared at Dongfang Mian and Wu Zining with resentful eyes.
Fifth Yiran walked around and saw three men in black kneeling in front of Dongfang Mian and the other woman, all of them beaten black and bruised and tied up on the spot.
"This is..." Fifth Yiran asked hesitantly.
Dongfang Mian laughed and said, "These three guys are the villains who kidnapped the girl. They have been subdued. We'll take them back to the city lord's mansion later."
"You subdued them in just a short while?" Fifth Yiran was deeply shocked.
Fifth Zi Ning said with a wry smile, "You're wrong. When I came in, the sect leader had already subdued them. I just helped untie these girls."
Fifth Yi Ran swallowed hard, looked at Dongfang Mian and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um, Dongfang, does your Crimson Silver Sect still accept people? Can I join?"
"Of course, I hereby declare you a member of our Crimson Silver Sect. You can register later," Dongfang Mian said hastily, not expecting Fifth Yiran to say such a thing. In her heart, she once again marveled at her irresistible personal charm.
"That's great, thank you, Sect Master." Fifth Yiran was also very happy. Her status in the Fifth Family was not as high as Fifth Zining's. Even if she joined the Fifth Family's student council, she would not be valued much. After seeing Dongfang Mian's amazing strength these days, she finally understood why Fifth Zining, who was a candidate for the young master of the Fifth Family, was willing to follow her. However, she did not know that Fifth Zining could only be considered to have joined under duress at the beginning.
Soon, they returned to the city lord's mansion with the rescued girls and the man in black. City Lord Changsun naturally praised them highly, then sent people to arrest the man in black and send the girls back to their respective homes.
"They seem to be using the essence and blood of these young girls to refine something," Dongfang Mian said. When she first entered, she saw the scattered alchemy furnaces on the ground, but she did not see any finished pills, so she could not determine what they were refining.
As he refined the elixir, Lord Changsun frowned. He had initially thought it was just a few lecherous thieves who had abducted these girls for their own lust, but now it seemed there was more to the story.
However, Lord Changsun can't care about these things now; the entire Tianqi City is in chaos.
"You said there's poisonous land in the city?" Dongfang Mian was also very surprised, as it was the first time she had ever heard of poisonous land growing in a city.
Lord Changsun nodded. "I have already sent a request to the Poison Master Guild, hoping they will send an Emperor-level Poison Master to handle this as soon as possible. However, it will take at least five days for the Poison Master Guild to get here. I'm afraid that after five days, the entire Tianqi City will be overrun by poisonous creatures."
Dongfang Mian nodded knowingly and said, "In that case, I'll go take a look for you first."
Upon hearing this, Lord Changsun's eyes lit up. Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged her; this Dongfang Mian was not as simple as she seemed.
Lord Changsun personally led the way, taking Dongfang Mian to the area in the city where the poison had appeared. This place was now heavily guarded by Lord Changsun, and no one was allowed to approach it easily.
When Dongfang Mian and his group arrived, they saw three disheveled figures emerging from the poisonous area. Upon seeing them, the figures said irritably, "Why aren't you doing your own work? What are you doing here?"
