Chapter 1124 Why don’t you jump down with me?

"Okay." Shen Lixian responded.

"You have to control the time well. They will find out soon." Huo Zhiyan said.

"I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Also, be careful and don't take it lightly. Even though he has been bound by my magic, with his level of cultivation, there is no guarantee that he will not break free. Once he succeeds in breaking free, you will be in danger."

"Don't worry, wait for me."

After Shen Lixian responded, he was about to walk into the hall, but he heard an angry rebuke from behind.

"stop!"

The two of them turned around quickly, only to see the eldest princess Man Shuqi appearing outside the yard with two guards. She had a fierce look on her face, her brows were furrowed, and she looked very angry.

"You go in first. I can hold her."

It was obvious at a glance that Manshuqi had discovered the situation in a hurry and had not brought anyone with her, so she was the only Mahayana stage cultivator here, and the two guards she brought with her were both in the combined form.

For Huo Zhiyan, such a configuration is not a big problem.

And it was just right that Man Shuqi was here, stopping her from leaving and preventing her from bringing more people over.

Huo Zhiyan thought so, and Shen Lixian also trusted her without a doubt, and prepared to continue going into the hall, but Man Shuqi did not give them a chance.

"If any of you dare to take another step forward, I will kill her!"

After Man Shuqi finished speaking, two guards brought over a person who was tied up with vines.

Thick vines wrapped around her entire body, and one could vaguely see that she was wearing a red cloak.

Doupeng was pierced by the sharp thorns on the vines, which penetrated deeply into her body. Bright red blood flowed out, staining the vines blood red. It looked very painful.

The person in the vines has been almost entangled and deformed, his facial features are stained red by blood, and his breathing is very weak. At this time, there is a gorgeous flower blooming on the vines, and it can be seen that it contains a lot of poison.

"Cousin!" Huo Zhiyan exclaimed.

At this moment, even Shen Lixian stopped and stared in shock and nervousness at the person who looked similar to his junior sister but had been tortured beyond recognition.

"Junior Sister!" Shen Lixian also called out nervously.

"Didn't expect that?" Man Shuqi sneered, "You think no one is paying attention to you in the guest house, but in fact, I see everything you do. I know you are restless and I also know who you care about."

"What do you want?"

"What do I want? Now you are the ones committing a crime on my territory! What qualifications do you have to question what I want?"

Manshuqi's voice and expression were sharp, and it was obvious that she was a very capable person.

"Although the Jiao Clan and my Higanbana Clan are both one of the four major clans, we have always kept to ourselves. I am very disappointed with the Crown Prince's actions today."

"The eldest princess may not believe it, but I really can't believe it." Huo Zhiyan sighed.

"If you know I don't believe you, stop talking nonsense." Man Shuqi sneered, "Leave this yard and follow me, otherwise I will kill her now."

After she finished speaking, she used her magic power on the vines with her palms. The vines suddenly tightened and the person inside let out a painful scream.

"Stop!" Shen Lixian shouted anxiously, "We'll follow you!"

"You'd better be gentle. If she really dies, we won't have any scruples." Huo Zhiyan reminded coldly: "Once we have no scruples... you will see how much we can do in the Higanbana tribe."

Man Shuqi knew that she did not have enough people with her at the moment and could not confront them head-on, so she loosened the vines a little as a compromise.

"Okay, let's each take a step back and go."

After saying this, Man Shuqi turned around and led the way. Shen Lixian and Huo Zhiyan followed behind her. They did not walk fast, thinking of solutions as they walked.

"Li Xian, you'd better think carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hua Wang is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and his cultivation is far higher than ours. It took a long time to plan this time to trap him. If we miss this opportunity, he will be alert, and we will never be able to meet him next time."

Huo Zhiyan reminded quietly.

"But I can't just ignore my little junior sister. She got involved because of me. Even if I die, I want her to leave the demon world alive."

Seeing that Shen Lixian had made up his mind, Huo Zhiyan could no longer persuade her, so he smiled and said, "If you really die, you don't have to worry about her. I will definitely take good care of her. I like such a gentle and smart girl."

"Shut up, don't make jokes at this time."

"You can still joke at this time. Doesn't this mean that things are not irreversible? Don't worry, I think this matter is a bit strange. Although my cousin is weak, Su Yunxiu can't be unable to take care of her, right? Don't you think she reacted too quickly? It was such a short time..."

Before Huo Zhiyan finished speaking, he saw Man Shuqi in front of him stopped.

The place where she stopped was outside a deserted wall. There were fallen leaves all over the ground and no one had cleaned them up.

There is a big well next to the wall. The ancient well is surrounded by moss. It can be seen that no one has been close to it for a long time.

There was no breath emanating from the ancient well, but it stayed there quietly, making people feel inexplicably chilled.

Man Shuqi turned around and gave them a fierce smile.

"Don't you want to save your junior sister? Then I will give you this opportunity."

After saying that, she pushed the person entangled by the thick vines directly into the large ancient well.

"Junior sister!"

Shen Lixian shouted nervously and rushed forward, then jumped into the ancient well without hesitation.

At this time, Huo Zhiyan was still standing there without moving.

Man Shuqi's gaze fell on him, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

"Why don't you jump in with me?"

"Just let him go down and save people. Why would I cause trouble?" Huo Zhiyan spread his hands.

"Aren't you afraid something might happen to them down there?"

"Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me down there? If something happens to me, the Jiao Clan won't stop."

"That's what will happen after you die. I have enough time to think of a solution. Although you are a direct descendant, you are just an unfavored little son. Your eyes are not as good as those of ordinary people. It's not that difficult to deal with your problem."

"You know that my death can't threaten you, so why would I jump down to die?" Huo Zhiyan said in shock: "Of course I can't jump."

Man Shuqi's brows were furrowed, and her face looked sinister.

"Since you don't listen, don't blame me for being heartless."

In the Higanbana King City, Ye Linglong, who had successfully escaped, dragged Su Yunxiu along and ran wildly, circling the complex palace gardens with great familiarity.

"What exactly happened?" Su Yunxiu asked.

"Why do you come here without knowing what happened?" Ye Linglong asked back.

"Wouldn't I be able to cooperate with you better if you poisoned me? But you would rather poison an uncontrollable Fang Gaofei than me, isn't it because I still have room for use?" Su Yunxiu was amused and helpless.

"You are so smart, you should be able to guess more."
