Chapter 73 Who is the fifth brother of the Four Sects?
The Ghost Puppet Sect demons were completely bewildered as they were all captured.
After being beaten into immobile, they were bound by Fang Fang's vines, and Su Yu cast illusions on them one by one to put them into a dazed state.
After a moment's thought and consulting with Su Yu, Fang Fang cautiously used her bloodline talent on them, adding a touch of charm.
With Wan Qin as a cautionary tale, she gained even less charm from the Ghost Puppet Sect.
You might not be able to get Wan Qin by directly exchanging for him, but you might be able to get him by increasing your charm.
The charm effects on these demons can last until tomorrow, but the effects on Wan Qin will end tonight. If she can't remove them in time, she's worried that these establishments will find out they've been deceived and hold Wan Qin accountable.
As for why they didn't just take Wan Qin with them?
The four sects didn't even contact the higher-ups of Moonlit City before deciding to hold the competition here, since many of their targets had already joined forces within the city.
Otherwise, why would they go through so much trouble just to enter a city?
I don't want to forcibly seize Wan Qin and then be chased by four forces. If the recording stone notices that, I'll definitely lose points.
Fang Fang would absolutely not allow such a undignified thing to happen.
The exchange went relatively smoothly; the combined charm of the five demons was slightly greater than that of Wan Qin's single wolf cub. However, since the five demons were to be divided among four families, Feng Hua Lou, Xiu Xiang Guan, Zui Meng Xiang, and Fu Zhu Yuan started arguing again about how to allocate the extra demon.
Su Yu and Fang Fang took the wolf cub Wan Qin and ran away.
Fang Fang found a piece of cloth and covered Wan Qin up, leaving only his wolf mouth exposed for breathing. Then the two of them took Wan Qin to Xiao Ba's house, told him that he could only turn back to normal that night, and then left to join the process of capturing the target.
As for Qi Danjue, after he had mastered the magic plants he brought with him, the team of Yuanfu disciples responsible for the pursuit took him out, intending to run into the Dark Absolute Sect and demand the ransom.
However, since they had borrowed Xiao Ba's house, the Yuanfu disciples left some magical treasures and cultivation techniques in the house as payment for the rental. They didn't have many magic stones on them, so they had to use these to offset the cost.
The team members from the four competitions are busy searching for fugitives, turning into ruthless capture machines.
Inside the Feng Hua Lou, Si Wu carried his long-lost younger sister, Xiao Ba, back to his private lounge. After the tender moment, he asked seriously, "Xiao Ba, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Ba pursed her lips unhappily: "You and my older sister haven't been back for so long, why can't I come here to find you?"
As she spoke, she suddenly felt something was amiss and asked in confusion, "Where's my older sister? Aren't you working together?"
Siwu's eyes were deep as he gently stroked Xiaoba's slightly tousled hair.
"My sister has important things to do and is not here right now, but she will be back soon."
Xiao Ba wasn't satisfied with the answer and pressed further, "What is it? When will my sister be back? Also, it's been almost a year since you all came back to visit me in the residential area!"
She emphasized, "A year! That's such a long time!!"
Siwu patted the child's head, deftly avoiding the topic: "Since you're here, your brother will show you around. But the day after tomorrow, you must go back to the residential area and stay in the house."
Xiao Ba avoided his hand, his bright black eyes staring at Si Wu with some confusion.
“You’re hiding something from me,” she asserted. “Why are you hiding it from me?”
She was puzzled and saddened, but stubbornly refused to look away, insisting that Si Wu give her an explanation.
Siwu lowered his eyes, avoiding Xiaoba's overly intense and burning gaze.
"Little Eight, listen to me, your older sister and brother won't harm you."
Xiao Ba was not satisfied with this answer; she was very dissatisfied and even felt angry.
She took a step back, moving further away from Siwu, and then suddenly turned and ran.
Siwu got up to pull Xiaoba back, but was shocked to find that the moment his hand touched Xiaoba, it was just a shattered illusion.
Xiao Ba has already run out the door.
If she stays with her brother, she'll definitely be sent back eventually. If she hides herself and follows her brother, she'll find out sooner or later what her brother and sister are doing behind her back!
Thinking this, she hugged the cloth tiger and candy jar tightly, lowered herself down, and unconsciously cast an illusion. But in his demonic eyes, her figure disappeared as quickly as a drop of water entering the sea.
Xiao Ba was completely unaware. Although he found it a little strange that his older brother couldn't catch up with him, he thought it was a good thing and was just glad that he had run fast enough.
Just like how she inexplicably escaped from that grand illusionary trap, perhaps she was lucky, or perhaps the heavens were on her side?
Siwu quickly suppressed his shock and chased after him, but Xiaoba was nowhere to be found.
But Xiaoba is still young, and her illusion can't last long; she can't hide her form forever.
Si Wu's anxiety and panic barely allowed him a moment to think. He quickly ordered the demon of Feng Hua Lou to find Xiao Ba. No, not find her, but bring her back to the residential area and tell her to stay in the house and not to run around during this time.
"Go find him! Don't come back if you can't find him!!" Siwu immediately sent most of his men to find Xiao Ba.
As my sister said, the key to the matter lies in these next few days. He can't spare the time to go and look for her. Siwu started biting his fingernails nervously. Xiaoba, Xiaoba, their beloved little sister, absolutely cannot be harmed!
The fourth day of the four-game tournament.
The disciples of Yuanfu split up and reunited, but in the end, they always acted in small teams of two or three demons.
At this moment, Su Yu, along with Feng Huaijin and Wan Qin, who had regained his human form, had just received news of a new target and were heading to the Holy Moon District to capture the demon.
The target is in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm and has become a high-ranking member of a small force within the city. However, it seems that he was hunted down too fiercely in his early years and now hides in the Holy Moon District and does not come out.
However, one of the targets that Su Yu and the others had captured earlier happened to be this demon's subordinate. The moment this demon understood their purpose, he did not hesitate to betray his superior, which shows that the early stage of the Void Refinement realm was not a very good demon in his daily life.
The entrance to the Holy Moon District was not far away. They didn't want to cause too much of a commotion, so Su Yu decided to use illusion magic to make the guards lose this memory.
A familiar child's voice rang out, startling Su Yu, who was about to rush out and make a move, into a freeze.
The whirlwind cannonball came running, intending to skillfully grab Su Yu's leg and start howling, but found itself, all too familiar, flailing its legs in mid-air in vain.
However, this time the demon carrying her was not Su Yu, but Feng Huaijin with a cold expression.
He hooked his arm around Xiao Ba's collar to prevent the dirty little brat from rubbing against his brother, glanced down at Xiao Ba, and then slowly raised his eyes.
"Brother, who is this?"
His tone was low and his eyes held a hint of melancholy.
